2 THE GAZETTE. (IN ADVANCE.) One Year. 61 50 Six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, the second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1 1804 to 1898. 1 1900 to 1902. CLE. VELAND, OHIO, NOV. 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The Denver (Col.) Statesman, the Chicago (Ill.) Conservator, and all other papers which urge the passage of the Crumpacker bill, a measure which if passed by congress, would reduce the representation in that body held by southern states that have disfranchised thousands of citizens by state constitution amendments, are on the wrong track and should "about face" immediately. Such action upon the part of congress, before the constitutionality of the amendments referred to is determined in the United States supreme court, would be a quasi endorsement of disfranchisement. The amendments are clearly unconstitutional, because they conflict with the 14th and 15th amendments of the United States Constitution. If they are permitted to remain upon the statutes of the southern states that have adopted them, and the representation of these states in congress is cut down, citizen rights in this country will receive a fatal blow, and no class will be injured one-half as much as the Afro-American. Therefore the thing for our newspapers, ministers and leaders, especially, to do, is to further the movement projected by the National Afro-American Council to test in the United States court the constitutionality of the state amendments and to have them declared by the Supreme court of the nation, null and void because of their unconstitutionality. Two of the four southern states base their amendments upon what is known as the "grandfather clause," and the other states base theirs upon an educational qualification. North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi are the four states in question. The "grandfather clause" has not a leg to stand on if taken into any United States court. This is the consensus of opinion, both south and north. The amendments based upon an educational qualification will be harder to have declared unconstitutional. However, the effort should be made (for the reason stated) before the matter is taken up in congress. In event that the amendments based upon the educational idea should survive a test case in the United States supreme court, then, and then only, will the time be ripe for congress to take action and cut down the representation in it held by the states having anti-franchise constitution amendments based upon the educational qualification idea. The Gazette insists that its contemporaries give this matter the attention it merits before endorsing the Crumpacker or any other like measure pending in congress. REJOINDER TO MR. BOLTON SMITH ON THE REPEAL OF THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENTS. Mr. Bolton Smith, a northern-born white man, writes a letter from Memphis to a friend in the north. The same was criticized by one of the editors of the Boston Journal and now it is held that the Journal finds itself crowned. It will be seen that Mr. Bolton is urging in mighty effort the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment to our national constitution. Regardless of the great principle of right and justice, the writer bases his argument upon the mere observation of some 18 years' residence in the south, taking advantage of the existing state of circumstances and all the adverse feeling emanating against the Negro from the bad elements of social life. Sources of evil over which the Afro-American has no control are charged to him in a manner that betrays either a tendency to open antagonism to the race or a want of due information. Desiring to shield the south in its criminal aggressions against the unfortunate black race, Mr. Bolton at once assails this people upon the ground of a condition and not a theory. He is convinced that the Negro lacks the elements of character necessary to the exercise of the suffrage, and he is convinced in what he concludes to be a fact from the surroundings and the situation in which he is placed. Now it must be borne in mind that character is the emanation of inborn principles of right which are inherent in all races, because of man's moral nature. But when that nature is hopelessly perverted and depraved, then it may be argued that a people is lacking in the elements of character. The evidence is conclusive that against all the deteriorating influences of the Negro's environments he has been gradually improving his condition and that improvement has come about even in the face of a circumscribed liberty which he has been permitted to enjoy. But let any people be oppressed and hindered in the exercise of their manhood rights, it at once follows that degradation and demoralization will ensue. The force of Mr. Bolton's argument implies that because the Afro-American lives in the midst of a "superior" race that the former must necessarily be circumscribed, oppressed and restricted in their own personal freedom in order that the latter may dominate, or, in other words, if the races were living separately they might be welcome to make their own THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1900. Against Disfranchisement Newark, N. J.—Many leaders in the Methodist Episcopal church gathered recently at the annual meeting of the committee of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education society in St. Paul's M. E. church. Bishop Stephen Merrill, of Chicago, presided in the morning. The report of the board of managers read by Secretary McV. Mason, declares that the "wholesale disfranchisement of the Negro by several states of the south, thus openly and defiantly nullifying the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the constitution, is the most radical and flagrant legislation against the colored man that the south has ever attempted since emancipation. We offer no criticism upon the educational qualification for suffrage which applies to all alike. Neither the Negro nor his friends would make complaint against this legislation. They would welcome it. It is the unjust and unrighteous discrimination to which we call attention." A Narrow Escape. Akron, O.—Rev. B. F. Combash has returned from a business trip to Pennsylvania.—Mrs. Bessie Lyals, who is in very poor health, has returned from Youngstown.—John E. Louis, who spent several weeks in Cheyenne, Dakota, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Hailstalk.—Messrs. F. B. Hamlin and Frank Lancaster joined a hunting party at Limaville last week. In two days' hunting the former killed 17 rabbits and 14 quail.—A team attached to a hay wagon became frightened at the cars and dashed into Edward Price's vehicle, throwing him out. The horses passed over him. He received a wound in his right leg.—Every one of our families should take The Gazette regularly each week. Order it from the local agent. Henry De Windt, the explorer, has started on his journey through Siberia. He will cross the Behring straits and then go by the way of the Mackenzie river to Winnipeg. Every second Tuesday is a reception day of the king of Sweden. Any of his subjects may call upon his majesty on that day. The only formality required is to send in one's card, the visitors being received when their turn comes in the order of arrival. A French scientist has determined that the military and naval professions most quickly wear out the brain. Out of 100,000 naval and military men 199 are confirmed lunatics. Next come the liberal professions, artists heading the list, followed closely by lawyers, and more distantly by doctors, clergy, literary men and civil servants. The number of those who go mad is 177 to each 100,000. Not only New York, but Paris and London as well, are today laughing over the collapse of Count Paul Ernest Boniface de Castellane, whose humiliation is all the more bitter in that George Gould, whom, of all people, the count is said to most heartily detest, is appointed guardian over the remains of the fortune that was being so gaily scattered to the four winds of heaven. The largest as well as the highest denomination of adhesive stamps ever issued was the $5,000 revenue stamp. A few proofs of it were printed, but the stamp was never used. It was engraved, printed in orange, green and black and was intended to be used on mortgages given by railroad companies and other large corporations. It would have paid the tax on a $10,000,000 mortgage. Electricity has many advantages, but if the theory advanced in a Bombay journal be correct, then we shall not be in such a vast hurry as we have to light and travel and cook and wash by electricity. The installation of electric light in certain places in India has been noticeably succeeded by an increase in the number of thunderstorms; what is more, they have been more severe. A new federation is in prospect. It is rumored that following up the formation of the Australian commonwealth the long-talked of federation of the British West Indies is to become an accomplished fact. The imperial government is credited with the intention of welding the whole of the Leeward and Windward islands into one confederation, with Barbados as the seat of government. The fact is not generally known that the queen has a private railway station. This is at Gosport, and is used by her majesty when embarking for Osborne. The station consists of a long, semi-circular platform, the end of which is connected with a pontoon, against which the royal yacht is usually moored. It is a strange fact that no other member of the royal family ever uses this station. A New South Wales correspondent says that a shepherd of Hargreaves, near Mudgee, has tried dentistry for sheep with great success. He had a valuable ram which found great difficulty in masticating its food owing to the loss of teeth. Artificial teeth were inserted, and the animal has since vigorously attacked its fodder. This is believed to be the first experiment of the kind in the colony. United States soldiers need put no postage on their letters. By a special provision of the postal laws a soldier may mail a letter without postage and it will be forwarded to its destination. To insure this favor on the part of the department the soldier must plainly mark "Soldier's Letter" on the outside of the envelope, and also his name and official designation and the command to which he belongs. The same law applies to marines. "Pilgrim's Progress" translated into the Chinese language, with illustrations by native artists, is the latest novelty in the literary world of Peking, and the volume bears unmistakable traces of its celestial origin. Christian is depicted with an ample pigtail, the dungeon of the Giant Despair is one of the large wooden cages well known to Oriental criminals, and the angels waiting on the other side of the river to receive the pilgrims are arrayed in the latest Peking fashions. --- James B. Dill, the well known corporation lawyer, of New York, has become the owner of 12 inches of land which he has wanted for six years. Incidentally he paid, according to the revenue stamps affixed to the deed, $500 for the strip. When Mr. Dill bought his present residence in Harrison street, East Orange, he found that a foot of land has been reserved when Dennis place was opened. His house was, therefore, one foot distant from the corner of Harrison street and Dennis place. The price then asked was so great he would not pay it. A restaurant for concentrated food is to be started in Paris by an enterprising French chef. The happy dinner will enjoy a menu of tabloids. From the hors d'oeuvres to dessert his entire meal will be presented to him in a few square inches. In this way a busy man will be able to eat his dinner in a few minutes, or carry it about with him in his pocket to swallow in spare moments. Even drinks are provided in the same form, and a bottle of claret or whisky and soda can thus be carried about in one's purse. British railway manufacturers are indignant at the manner in which they have lost the contracts for rebuilding the South African railways. It seems that America has ousted the British contractors. Maj. Girouard, an American, who has absolute charge of the reconstruction and direction of the Transvaal railways, is responsible for this, seeing that he has invited American firms only to submit estimates, etc., for the work. It was American firms also who supplied most of the material for the Soudan railway. [Continued from First Page.] Minnehaha has a remarkable bass figure expressive of the rude Indian march, and the ingenuity with which this figure is maintained against the vocal description of the obsequies is among the clever achievements of the composer. The farewell song of "Hiawatha" was finely rendered by Mr. Black, and the choral repetition of this superb piece of harmony brought the second part to a conclusion. The applause was again enthusiastic. A more cheerful note is struck in the last part—"Hiawatha's Departure"—and the opening solo by Madame Albani, descriptive of spring, bubbles over with life. It was sung with admirable spirit. Wonderfully grotesque is the description of Iagoo's boastful stories and the uncouth and unsparing derision with which the redskins received his narratives. This rough, grim humor provoked a ripple of merriment, which passed round the hall. Mr. Black's song, in which Hiawatha seriously interprets Iagoo's stories, and applies them to the coming of the white man, were finely sung. This composition is worthy to rank with "Onaway" for strength and skillful orchestral embroidery. The prophetic description of his countrymen's downfall is emphasized by the deep throbs of the bass strings. "By the shore of Gitche Gumee" is a powerful chorus, full of exuberant life, in which fresh honors were won, and the soprano solo, "From the brow of Hiawatha" was brilliantly sung by Madame Albani. The chorus "And the noble Hiawatha" brought out the full power of the chorus and orchestra. It was pleasant to see the delighted expressions with which the series of entirely new phrases and rhythms were received by the audience, the music being much more refined than in the earlier portions of the work. The orchestral setting is charming at this point. The harmony introducing the chorus, "Then the generous Hiawatha," is wonderfully rich. The ingenious introduction into the closing chorus of the principal opening melody gives homogeneity and an expression of completeness to the work. The indescribably grand finish called forth all the energies of the chorus and band, and evoked peal after peal of applause. It was a moving scene when Mr. Taylor ascended the dais to acknowledge the enthusiastic applause. The rather diminutive figure and extremely modest bearing of the handsome semi-African, hardly suggested the composer of a work by general consent the greatest produced for a long time past, and manifestly the product of real genius. A Lord's Gratitude to an Afro-American. Thomas Griffin, a Wagner car porter on the New York Central railroad, was on the Buffalo and New York express which ran off the track a year ago at Garrison, N. Y., and plunged into the Hudson river. On this car was Lord Douglass, the eldest son of the Marquis of Queensberry, who, through the thoughtfulness and care of Griffin, escaped unhurt. All his luggage and papers were saved. The bravery of the Afro-American porter so impressed the nobleman that he presented to Griffin through the president of the New York Central railroad, the Hon. Chauncey Depew, a beautiful gold watch and chain, who said in part: "I give you this watch on behalf of Lord Douglass, whom you so readily served in that awful catastrophe at Garrison. His lordship has acted in a most generous manner. The watch is a handsomer one than the president of the road carries. You ought to be proud of it." The timepiece is enameled handsomely. On the back is engraved: "Presented to T. E. Griffin in recognition of his manly conduct on October 24, 1897, by Lord Douglass, of Hawick." Lee-Singleton.

Dammond and Miss Mabel Mofford was very quietly performed on Nov. 6th by Rev. R. Seymour, of Bethel A. M. E. church, of which both the bride and groom are members. The wedding was witnessed by Miss Gula E. Dammond, of Pittsburg, the groom's sister, and Mr. and Mrs. McCorall, the bride's sister and brother-in-law. This young couple are very highly esteemed, and count their friends by the score Prof. Dammond was graduated from the Western University of Pennsylvania, in 1894, receiving the degree of C. E. Since then he has filled a prominent position with the Carnegie Co., of Pittsburg, was professor of mathematics at Paul Quinn college Waco, Texas for two years, and also at Wilberforce university, Wilberforce O., for one year.

Talbert, corresponding secretary, read a paper entitled: "Why the Afro-American Should be Represented in the Pan-American Exposition." She alluded to our race exhibit in the Paris exposition which attracted widespread attention, and deplored the fact that up to date the Pan-American exposition had ignored the race completely. Mrs. A. D. Wilson president of the W. C. T. U., also advocated an Afro-American exhibit James A. Ross, a well known Afro-American politician, addressed the club. Mrs. Talbert has the strongest following as being best fitted to be an exposition commissioner. She is one of the most capable women of the race here, being a graduate of Oberlin college and a lady of much experience and executive ability. After the passage of resolutions the meeting closed.

Some years ago the family, which includes Sol Marcosson, the violinist, moved to Cleveland to 377 Sibley street. They brought their faithful old servant with them. About a month or so ago he was failing fast and he was sent to the city hospital, where he died Saturday morning, of old age. Jackson never knew his exact age, but those who have been acquainted with the former slave, say that he was at least 100 years old.

No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business. Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estergements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all questions. She can be consulted with Friends etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweet-heart will be true to you and if he will marry you: if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance, clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FURTURE will be written in an honest clear and plain manner, in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children: young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Maacame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter how much they prosper, others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

Several of my friends advised me to build up on Peruna, and I found it by far the finest tonic and invigorator I had ever used. In two weeks I was strong and well, and if ever I am exposed to unusual hardship incident with my duties at fires, I take a dose or two of Peruna and find that it keeps me in good health." Charles Peterson. Lieut. Chas. Peterson. The above is only one of fifty thousand letters we have on file attesting the merits of Peruna. There are a great multitude of people in all parts of the land who have entirely lost their health as a result of the la gripe; who have recovered from an attack, but find themselves with weakened nerves, deranged question, and with but very little of their former powers. There is no disease known to man that leaves the system in such an outrageous and exasperating condition as the gripe. For this class of sufferers, Peruna is a specific. Peruna should be taken according to directions and in a few weeks the sufferer will be entirely restored to his accustomed health.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24. 1900. Mr. B. A. L. M. Thomson, the Atwood building, Chicago, Ill., wrote, August 1st, 1900: "I have been troubled for five years with Eczema, went to different watering places and baths and tried many remedies suggested by friends and eminent physicians at a cost of over $1,000, all of which had done me no good. At the suggestion of a friend I decided for a last try to give your Lotion a trial, with the result that it has cured me, and I hope this letter may be taken advantage of by some poor unfortunates, knowing it will cure them."

Sadie Merritt Discusses the Fashions of PARIS She Tells of the Many Charming Fancies of the Mode to Be Seen in Europe PARISIAN women are partial to fur as a trimming for the winter hats. For this reason golden galloons and tissues naturally figure in many of the model hats and toques. They are daringly combined with sealskin, broadtail, mink and ermine, and in some cases delicately veiled, first with white chiffon, and some with cobwebby black lace. These fur-trimmed hats show a display of flowers, such as chrysanthemums, violets, tea roses and crushed roses in silk velvet in colors of shell pink, tea, white and red. One of these fur-trimmed hats recently seen is a charming affair of reseda mirror velvet andermine fur. The velvet is arranged in encircling tucks to form a flat crown, which is held down by a steel buckle. From this is a white ostrich feather to droop gracefully over the right side. Narrow bands ofermine are most artfully introduced between folds of velvet. A model hat that is attracting some attention in one of the millinery displays of the hour is a startling affair of soft brown felt which is turned up in front with a couple of mink skins, the heads meeting in the center. The back is arranged in practically the same way, except that in A I place of the heads a couple of tails fall over the hair. In catching the brims together there is a twist of brown velvet with a large, curved buckle of cut steel. In this same display I saw a charming toque of Nile green velvet with the brim bordered with ermine, and a rosette of velvet at one side holding a white dove's wing. In another shop is displayed as a piece par excellence a chic three-cornered shaped toque in black velvet lined with white silk and a rouleaux of black chenille. The crown has a border of mink, and a butterfly bow of black velvet caught with a twist of golden galloons. at the opera or there of a few of them wi out of place as it mi For the race wrap the popular color. chine embroidered gold seemed to be a scribe half a dozen in that the shape is straight cape, surm end cape descending length of the first. alone is embroidered having a thick ruchi seline de soie on the interior a rather de same. The lining of silk in shades of crea A nobby pompadour hat that attracts attention is of gray felt, trimmed with three golden brown ostrich tips directly in front and a rosette of gray velvet. A narrow band of sealskin is around the crown. A small toque of sealskin rolls high in front with pompoms of white and seal brown mousseline de soie. N trimmings in PARIS GO TO the Parisian shop for pretty novelties in all lines, and just now especially in the line of trimmings. The latest in this line are the combinations of printed panne or foulard. It is the prettiest when used in bands upon a plain material, and the bands edged on either side by a rouleau of velvet. To secure the best effect the velvet should be the exact shade of the cloth and the ground of the panne or foulard should be white with the design in any one of a dozen shades and colors. The printed pannes which are now being shown are unusually beautiful. As a rule, the ground color is of some very light shade or neutral tint, but the small cashmere designs are brought out in the brightest of colors and almost cover the ground. As a rule these designs are small, though at times one can see them in larger figures, and also where several shades and tints have been worked together harmoniously. Where the larger figures are used the pile of the plain TOLD IN CHURCH CIRCLES. The total income of the Church of England is about £200,030 a week. In a sailors' church in San Francisco the pulpit is a complete reproduction of the stern or a notel clipper ship, and after services on Sunday tea is provided for sailors who attend. One of the greatest difficulties encountered by medical missionaries in China is that patients, after receiving gratis a bottle of medicine, are apt to sell it to some one else for a trifle. NOVEL ideas in ground is often crushed into a design that runs between the variegated figure. A second novelty for trimming that is being extensively used is the relief galloon. It is made with a black or white ground and has a rich design in metallic threads of different colors. The designs formed by these threads do not lie flat on the ground, but are raised, and so stand out boldly. When the ordinary galloon is used it is applied rolled, the two sides caught together. For the latter method nothing but the wider varieties are being used, as it requires a galloon of some two inches in width to produce the desired effect. G ARMENTS worn at the PARIS races NOWHERE else in the world are the races so popular among the swell set as in Paris, and so long as the weather permits the fashionable woman displays her choice costumes at these places. She will wear the same garments later at the theater or on the driveways, but she prefers that they be first shown at the races. It is rather late in the season to write of even late fall styles, but as some of the handsome garments that were worn at the races within the past two or three weeks will be seen during the early winter THE HAT at the opera or theater a description of a few of them will not be so badly out of place as it might at first seem of a few of them will not be so badly out of place as it might at first seem. For the race wraps white has been the popular color. White crepe de chine embroidered in self-color and gold seemed to be a favorite. To describe half a dozen in one I would say that the shape is that of a long, straight cape, surmounted by a second cape descending to half the length of the first. The upper one alone is embroidered, the other one having a thick ruching of white mousseline de soie on the hem, and in the interior a rather deep flounce of the same. The lining of both is brocaded silk in shades of cream and flesh tints. The collar is high, with a row of white ostrich tips rolling over the top. The fur boas seen at the races show a marked tendency for a preference for entire skins with natural head and long, falling tails. The fox-gray, silver and black—are the favorites for this kind of wear. Another is called the white fox, though it is quite possible that it is a bleached skin, but it has many admirers. The late Henry W. Payne, of the Massachusetts bar, was once defending a charity case in which a boy of 15 was charged with arson. He made a strong case to prove the defendant an alibi. After a charge from the judge, which was practically an acquittal, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The judge asked Payne if he would move for a new trial. "I thank you for the suggestion," was the answer, "but I am oppressed with the gravest doubts whether I have the right to move for a new trial. Your honor. I have already asked for and received for my idiot client the most precious heritage of our English and American common law—a trial by a jury o' his peers." Uncle Allen. "My boy," counseled Uncle Allen Sparks, "always strive to be at the top of the heap. Especially you are in a game of football."—Chicago Tribune. QUESTIONS ASKED OCEAN STEAMER CAPTAINS.

A young woman at a watering place this summer made a reputation as a profound linguist in a rather odd man-r. She called one day at a Chinese laundry, where she had left a shirt waist, but it could not be found, as there was no entry in the book of hieroglyphics corresponding to her pink slip. After a half hour's search the Chinaman found the entry. A mistake had been made, the entry crossed out and a new set of hieroglyphics in tiny characters placed below. She was told that that waist would be laundered immediately, and she could have it the next day, says the Kansas City World. The next day the young woman called for it, accompanied by three other young women. At the seashore the excitement of a visit to the Chinese laundry is not to be despised. The Chinaman to whom the pink slip was presented was not the laundryman of the day before, and he experienced the same difficulty in finding the identifying characters, finally saying: "Not in book." The girl answered, calmly: "I can find it," and the Chinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves until she came to the one that had had an entry crossed out, with another in tiny characters under it, she handed it to the Chinaman. "There it is," and, to his surprise, he found it. "You only lady I know spik Chinese," he added. "You only lady I know spik Chinese," he said. And the other girls looked upon her with admiration.

THE LADY'S DINNER When a cheerful, brave and light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is a sad picture. It is usually this way: She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, experiencing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly and is exceedingly nervous. Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizziness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down feeling is dreadfully wearing. Her husband says, "Now, don't get the blues! You will be all right after you have taken the doctor's medicine." But she does not get all right.
