W. Thompson.) Frederick Donglass III --- excellent bill at Dudley's this week includes Goodbar and Lewis and Fleming, a sister team. Judge Terrell Takes the Oath of Office. Judge Robert H. Terrell took the oath of office on Monday, following his conurbation by the court. He was swned by Judge Milton a St. Andrews court, and immediately began work on his docket. A massive册件 of the gift of admiring words, adorned his desk. The perseverance was witnessed by a group of well-known citizens, among whom was Mary Church Terrell, the energetic and resourceful judge, the Judge her beaming with delight, the faithful, unremitting efforts and utmost determination of this noble woman to down the barrier of prejudice at the time, that much was of success the eminence of the Senate in person and never relaxed her assurance until victory crowned her inception. Judge Terrell is in receipt of a bushel of letters, letters and messages of kind, congratulating him upon his great triumph, and the District Bar is jubilant over the outcome of its gallant fight against bourbonism and outward reference with a purely local appointment. Arrangements have been started by the men in charge to tender Judge Terrell the counter bourbon mony of the pride the race feels in his retention on the Bench that he has been given to take place at an early date at True Reformers' Hall, with provision for the attendance of the ladies. A dinner will take place at the office to follow the dinner. The affair is to be national in its scope and the participants will represent every section of the population of the race. The office may be local, said one of the promoters of the testicular and the effect will be universal. The Passing Show in Washington. Miss Lillian Browne and William DeMont, the premier sketch artists, and one of the most versatile teams in the country, went to Atlanta, Ga. Sunday, engaging with the stock company of the Majestic Theater. They had just left Majestic here and, their departure leaves a void that will be hard to fill. Browne and DeMont will make good at Browne, which is the birthplace of Miss Browne. --- Joe Bright's Players are at the Howard again, after a week's rest. They are a fine bunch of performers, and are a fine bunch of performers, and Mr. Bright's dialect as a Mexican, Italian, Indian or cowboy is true to life. Miss Desdemona, Barnett and Miss Gertrude Ryan, treasurers respectively at Dudley's and the Howard, are among the mainstays that make these playhouses popular with the masses, with the theater-goers being particularly pleasant. They are prime favorites with the theater-goers of every class and condition. S. H. Dudley ran down Sunday to "look 'em over." He is playing another week in Philadelphia. His stunt of leading the band in his roaring foot-joining the Show," is a big attraction. . . . Miss Susie Sutton returns next week, after a successful tour of Dudley's Virginia and Carolina, circuit. Manager Frank Brown "canned" his own stock playlet, "The Red Rose," after a single performance at the Majestic week. Minstrel Wesley, singer and baruesque mind-reader, has gone to Riehm. He went big at the Howard last week. Miss Blanche Young, the petite daughter of the late "Clever" Billy Young, has been making a fine impression here as a singer. She has a voice that is both powerful and skillfully, but she should vary the character of her songs to secure the results she is capable of achieving. The public is waiting to hear Lew Henry's long-promised "announcement." Several well-equipped performers are taking what Minstrel Morris humorously describes as an "un-needed rest." The news of the death of Rich Simmons at Atlanta caused a shock among the performers in Washington, among whom he was well known and greatly admired. For several years he was the team-mate of Miss Lillian Browne, of this city, and they played jointly all the first-class houses of the city. Miss Wesley was the sad news, paid a high tribute to the deceased actor and expressed the deepest regret that his brilliant and charming performance did not deny cut in on the very zenith of his fame and amid constantly enlarging opportunities. There is talk that colored business men may take over the moving picture business. Under shrewd management this spot could be made a paying proposition. Manager Douglass Gentry has put in a $200 ventilating plant at the Chelsea plant nursery, and an ice box at the hot weather. His next improvement will be an enclosed stage with a set of scenery, etc. Mr. Gentry has taken his business to New York and developed it into one of the most liberally-patronized theaters in the city. He is one man who is making a difference in the neighborhood of aristocratic families who allow their people the afternoon off, Raymond Coates (Oh you drummer) is a whole show by himself. Jeffrey and DeLyon are spending the week here. Frank Fowler Brown, Hoosierdom's great lyric tenor, is to put in the summer with a musical group at a recreation park near Baltimore. The Renaisance Players, with Nathaniel Guy, Mrs. Emily Jane Taylor, Mrs. Adelaine Wormiley Cardozo, M. Menard, Albert Kohl and other musicians, are in "The Common Enemy," at the Majestic on the 22d. Managers W. D. Nixon and Milton will take the company to Baltimore in Adelphia at the close of the school term.

Those who gave it four weeks should now "get out and get under." That "National Negro Conference" to discuss the political situation, did not materialize. This is the period of "watchful waiting" for the Negro politician—and others. So-called "interlopers" keep a town from dying from dry-rot. Washington is no exception. The U. street electric lights are "dandy." Apartment houses and flats are in great demand by folks who are tired of the cares of a big house, with a joblot of roomers who are necessary to help pay the high rents. The real estate market is a battle if they would turn about three-fourths of the large houses into flats and let them out at reasonable figures. There is absolutely no foundation for the report that all the Negroes in the federal service are to be discharged by the fourth of July. Dr. Clement covers an immense amount of ground as pastor and as a large church like Galbraith and as editor of the Star of Zion at Charlotte, N. C. It is expected that Rev. George Clement will be reappointed as pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion church, where he has achieved a great success. be appointed to the vacancy existing in his branch of instruction. Non-visual learners are very rigid and it is not expected that there will be many applicants. Mr. J. C. Cunningham is out in a card calling for the designation of a com-mputer teacher. He should be sent to the front to get the real facts relative to the bravery that will be shown by the gallant Negro in the battles of the histories of the past wars fall utterly to give the colored soldiers due credit for the brave deeds done on the battlefield. . . .

Be ready when Opportunity knocks at your door. Equality before the law has nothing to do with "social equality." Advertise your business, or pretty soon you won't have any business to advertise. It looks as if Former Senator Foraker may "come back." In him the Negro is certain to have a "friend at court." The traditional "easy mark" forgets his troubles, because he is so busily occupied with listening to those of his friends. It is estimated that 450,000 Negroes in the city are seated at the time, and the annual cost of the illness of these 450,000 Negroes is about $75,000,000 in earnings and production. It pays to keep well. The railroad magnates of America will not refuse to act, when 10,000,000 Negroes are all at work for just treatment on trains and in railroad stations, when they pay the same amount, pay for accommodations and have proven themselves good customers. Jim Corbett, who has proven a "Jonah" to every so-called "Whites Hope" he has championed, says "Jack Horns" is coming fight with Frank Moran in Paris. With Jim the wish is the rather "honey" of the house. He takes more than the money of the credited Corbett to lick Jack Johnson. T. Thomas Fortune in the New York Age, wisely argues that as men's thoughts generally follow the directive to trust the leadership of people, who eyes are in the back of their heads, they look forward, who believe that the watches of the night are past; the watches of the day begin." There is no disgrace in well-performed domestic service. There is genuine art in home-making—cooktable and caring for the living and sleeping rooms. The Negro is closest to white when rubs elbows with the inelastic service. The race will make a serious mistake if $^a$ allows others to push him out of the activities in the now meets with the warmest welcome. The world places a premium on good conduct, be the individual black or white, be the residents of Naco, Arriba, or the residents of the orderliness and exemplary bearing of the Tenth Cavalry, now stationed at that point. The same officers have been assigned to the class band of Negro soldiers when it was garrisoned at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, and while in the maneuvers in Virginia. The race is proud of the "Mallant Tent." . . . We are always glad to see the erstwhile officers in our style, signing himself a "tonsorial artist." It signifies he is proud of his chosen calling and that he is anxious to bring it up to modern standards in the past. It gives us the impression that he has passed the antiquated barber ideals and is going in for modern and modern service. The new titts suggests bright lights, massive tails, plenty of clean linen, hot towels, keen to razor and shears and a collection of apparel that products take the place of cheap talk. Hail, the "tonsorial artist." The Star of Zion has a timely editorial on "Negroes and Business" that emphasizes the possibilities of the race in providing for their own wants and making a profit thereon for men and women of color. The editorial asks the question: "A grocery that will feed the black thousands—a laundry that will wash that will cover their feet—and a bakery and confectionery that will deliver their meals that will succeed wherever Negroes of sense and energy establish them." This is the gospel truth and ought to be taught to all. It will then act in accordance with the helpful suggestion of Editor Clement. No part of Dr. Booker T. Washington's long and brilliant career shines with greater splendor or carried with greater dignity. Negro people than his present agitation for better accommodations for African Americans. The Century has aroused the railroads to a sense of the injustices suffered by our people who must travel to the South to meet their frank expressions on the subject have shown. Now, Dr. Washington proposes a system by which the matter directly with the railroad officials and bring it to a face-to-face meeting and bring it to a proactively naming committees—two or three fearless men, who know how to make the most effective arsenal against the racist forces of June 7 and 8 be memorable days in the life of our oppressed people. W. A. Rayfield, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and whose artistic experiences in the structures of the Tuskegee campus, is now the head of a firm of architects at Birmingham, Ala., specializing on church architecture, outgrown their clothing, as it were, and the Rayfield congregation, as suggested by their suggesting plans for adequate edifices, that illustrate in a practical fashion the growth of the race 'n' the church, and the demand of the times for conveniences and service that our forbears little dreamed of. The church of today is a social center, an educational institution and a conserves of practical uplift in every direction. The Rayfield congregation is by our people.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Segregation is civil immorality when nothing in the conduct of a people give rise to it. Is the race so conducting itself in its residence precepts that segregation is suggested out of the very nature of things? The British government is demanding $62,000 of Haiti because of the damage done to the saw-mill of a British subject during the Leconte Revolution. "Ain't no money on hand. Can't get no blood out of a turnip." Our government is asking time in the interest of Haiti. Verily we are full of trouble. The Progressives have gone to pieces if one can rely on the result of last Tuesday's primary ballot. Something like 3,000 votes were cast, when 18,000 were cast two years ago. Well, a good bunch has grown sensible to the idea of voting, they have not to get together. If they have the triumph of Democracy in mind all they have to do is to keep standing out. The Indiana Department of the G. A. R. is in the city this week, having camp fires and other things that serve to keep in mind the gigantic struggle of the 60's. One looks on these gray grim veterans with much sympathy for what they endured, and because they hold that phase of the past to be the chief thing for remembrance. They seem glad enough to meet and talk it all over, and to use the language of Goldsmith, "to shoulder his crutch and show how fields were won." But they are not sure there are thousands yet who can stand up to be counted at the mention of the Civil war. Of all men we count these first, we count them last, the saviours of our country. The mixup with Mexico has been the means of drawing out expressions from the Negroes in their attitude towards the government. The newspapers that have had something to say have shown clearly the drift of sentiment, not to speak of what is heard on the streets. It would be almost treasonable to reproduce much of what is being said. And this may be charged up to irresponsible persons who are influenced by the hardships they endure as citizens. However, through it all rings a menace that is not without its value even to a government so great and powerful as our own. It is quite enough to endure prejudices and discriminations that come ordinarily. It is too much when men in public places use their offices for the purpose of working up prejudice and discrimination. It is this thing above all that has so incensed the Negroes. The confirmation of the nomination of Judge Robert H. Terrell is very welcome news from Washington. We were inclined to think that the Democrats in the Senate were thoughtful enough to give the matter careful consideration, and, which, if they did could only result in the way it did. There was more involved than merely the confirmation. Terrell's success or failure had become to be considered the test of the attitude of the Democratic administration. The President saw it that way, we feel free to say, and in view of his promises and his determination to be as fair as possible, it was necessary that he pave the way for the judge's confirmation. Vardaman et al. raged as usual, but the greatest good to the greatest numbers is the philosophy that transcends personal pique and spleen. It is to be hoped that the President will not rest there—in that appointment—but do what he can consistently from time to time, thus making for a common citizenship as nearly as possible. In spite of the protests made by the colored citizens of Louisville, Ky., the segregation ordinance, which has been before the Board of Council and the Board of Aldermen of that city for several weeks, passed those two bodies without a dissenting vote. That the measure passed is not surprising. That it passed without a dissenting vote is alarming, since it speaks for a united opposition to Negroes in the particular. The opposition will not stay confined to the particular. It will spread. Citizenship will be more easily struck down if segregation rules stand as precedents. However, there are two sides to almost every question. In this segregation business we take it, that, the race is not wholly free from fault; not in the sense of crime, but in the sense of residence pride. In most of our large cities where our people live in large numbers there are sections which almost begar discription. These are not without influence when such questions are being debated. In admitting this we do not mean to be giving a club to beat us over the head. Here is a time when the truth will make you "free" if it ever can. Unless these sections tend to reduce it will take considerable nerve to stoutly contend for equality of treatment, citizens though we be. WM. E. SCOTT, ARTIST. Wm. E. Scott, the artist, who recent- ly returned home from Paris, has had a number of his pictures on exhibition at the Y. M. C. A. building. They were seen by many persons, including white painters of Indianapolis. Mr. Scott felt greatly encouraged by the very favorable comment heard from time to time, especially the comment of the artists, since they are better prepared to speak of the merits of such work. The thirty-one pictures arranged about the assembly rooms gave that salon appearance that is seen and read about. The paintings were of all sizes, ranging from the "Burger at Prayer," of huge proportions, down to the small ones of various subjects. The "Burger at Prayer" is a splendid piece, a great cross with the image of the Christ before which stands the peasant shepherd in becoming attitude, with his halting flock of sheep about him, and seemingly none less reverent than himself. Mr. Scott said that this was the most difficult work that he has ever attempted. He has been congratulated in portraying the early gray morn, the sun which has climbed but fairly up the sky, and the soft light that tinges the tops of everything, dying away to the darker day beyond. It is a homely picture, rustic, peasantry as the name implies. But in the ensemble it is rich, made more so by the significance of the cross, which looms up gigantically above all else. The adoring peasant contributes to the religiousness, together with the humility of this type of humble beings—the sheep. Like most oil paintings, the "Burger At Prayer" looks to be no more than daund on daub, smeared on without system, when standing near it. Standing at the proper distance the intent of the artist is clearly seen. This is the highest valued picture of the collection. It is quoted on the catalogue at $300. The other pictures range on down to $7. Mr. Scott made several sales during the exhibition. He also received good offers for the "Burger At Prayer." He says that the present collection, which represents his work of last year, is his best so far. Scott is a graduate and, with whom Scott has studied, thinks highly of his ability. Scott is yet a young man; he is qualified with the necessary "fire" for doing the greatest things along his line. Immediate Payment of $62,000 for Loss During Laconte Revolution Demanded. CRUISER SUFFOLK ON SCENE Diplomatic Representative at Port au Prince Takes Action—Haiti Has No Money on Hand. Port Au Prince, Haiti, May 6.—The British diplomatic representative at Port Au Prince today delivered an ultimatum to the Haitian government demanding the immediate payment of an indemnity of $62,000 to a British subject in compensation for the destruction by fire of his saw-mill during the Leconte revolution. The British demand is supported by the presence here of the British cruiser Suffolk. The payment of this sum of money to the British subject in question, a man named Peters, had previously been ordered by a court of arbitration. No Money on Hand. Immediately after the presentation of the British demand the members of the chamber of deputies and the senate met in joint session. The deliberations were marked by great excitement. Senator Cauvin bitterly reproached the cabinet not for being able to meet the situation. There is no money in hand with which to make the payment demanded. After a futile discussion the congress decided to go into separate session in order to permit the deputies and the senators to discuss the matter independently. ASKS TIME FOR HAITI. State Department Wishes to Ascer tain Facts in Case. Washington, May 6—News of the British ultimatum to the Haitian government reached the state department early in the day and the British ambassador was requested to exert himself to obtain at least a temporary stay of proceedings. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, after a conference with Robert Lansing, the counselor for the state department, cabled the British foreign office a suggestion that time be allowed for an inquiry in the case. Little is known here of the basis for the British claim which formed the ground for the ultimatum and nothing whatever in the reasons which Au Prince in making the issue at his particular moment. To ascertain these facts, the state department requested the suspension of the ultimatum, having in mind the low ebb of Haitian finances, which might prevent a compliance with it, no matter how well disposed the Haitian officials might be. Senator Root Voted for Terrell. It is inconceivable how so much misinformation about Washington can get into the report circulated in New York, and elsewhere that Senator Roe voted against the confirmation that she is manifestly absurd. Senator Roe stood alone for Terrell in the sub-committee. It was his minority report that was confirmed by the committee on the judiciary. He led the fight for Terrell in the executive session that confirmed him and was very critical of the titanic conflict. The statement that the New York Senator was against the monstrous ideas that somebody makes a specialty of sending to out-town papers that are given to schoolchildren do the Senator a gross injustice and reflect no credit upon the journalism of our race.

Muskogee, Okla., April 20, 1914. Mr. Knox, Dear Sir—As we have been told, brother performers to beware the Pastime theater. We worked our time out at the theater, from Bud Brown, manager of the theater. Our eight people of Stearn and Stearn, Jackson and Lewis, Perry and Meyers, of the Perry Stock Company. LITTLE TAPS AT THE VAUDE- VILLE NAPS (By Uncle Joe Golphin.) If you wish to get soaked use the water gag. Performances are either self-made or self-marred. Many an humble soubrette makes a cross leading lady. You can't ring the gong of success unless you pull the rope. There was a time when a man was considered a star for any one thing done well. But a star these days must shine from every spar. Many performers wait more than they work. Success lies in both. Blessed the monologist that gets by without smoot for he shall reign supreme. Some time big timers are all right in a way, but please keep out of the little big timers' way. Love of the profession will push a man to the front. Matrimony will make the soubrette follow. A bright man will originate his own way of putting his stuff over. Others will imitate. Every soubrette thinks she is a star and has forgotten more than the manager ever knew. It's easier for some commedians to make his brother performers laugh than the audience. If you want money for your act—get the act first. Spring shows green and game, in vaudeville. Let us see a different act. We are tired of seeing acts so much alike, Oh they are all the same. An act is always a failure when everybody is the boss. To be popular act as nice off as you do on the stage, if not nicer. Spring is here, who will be the first to spring something new? (Poorray.) I am tired of working so awful hard, I am getting back in age. I've got to get a living easy. I believe I'll try the stage. So I went to the show most every night To see the actors dance, But found that I was most too old, I wouldn't have a chance. I saw an actor one day and kept watching back. And asked him how he won success and, He simply said, "Ball the Jack." So back I went to my work, as happy as could be. I know my work is honest and free from vulgarity. And only I am happy. I mean this as a fact. I don't want to be an actor if I've got to Ball the Jack. Golphin SHEESLEY & HOFFMAN'S GREATER MINSTRELS.

In 1930 my hair was only 5 inches long, now it is 25 inches.

Those millions are not not going to be forever without amusement planned, but suit, consequently business is not such as to warrant the attendance necessary to financial success of the management that they can not do. So the cry comes North and the manager is better if the mistreated performers call attention to the facts that happen in their own particular cases it including everybody. J. B.

Nose Gordon it poured receiving continuous rounds of applause. A good pacemaker for the act to follow which was Owney & Davis. Heralded as good and found to be an excellent show to be paired with Miller & Lyle with an act so different. These men are well met. The audience never gets to settle before they laugh.

Reed's bull dogs were the star card of the game, which included *Woll Elliott* in an urchin bridge game with a Brooklyn bridge scene; Gilbert Loosee, a good mezzo-falso-tone; only *Mike McCole* and *Reece*, fine dancers. The second half of last week had Tom Cross, a very clever colored comedian, Thompson, who made an excellent Indian. Others were Lentz in Upton Singer, who made good; Holman, a frog man, hardly as good as Ferry or Billy Williams of old; Murphy and Klein and Swain-Ostrom, who made good winners in the colored tango supplied by Jimmie Barrett and Charlotte and Singer, who made good Singer second winners in which tango, supplied by Fleck Collins, in which Wayne Tommy, the Way Johnson, won first prize in last Saturday's song contest. It is rumored that James Brammen has arrived from california. Miller and Johnson at the New Monogram Irvin Miller and Elvira Johnson were the big card last Monday night. were a fine coach and Vardwell returned in a plush suit, but the game was overdone. Pinky and Lorraine in song-dances were good, but the game was overdone. Hattie Garland put over three songs in perfect style. Harry Johnson, cornetist, has left the orchestra. **Muriel Ringgold at the Monogram—Buster and Rockie Return** Muriel Ringgold, the funniest little girl in the business, opened for a second and Buster and Rockie's funniest show. Davenport and Davenport did well. Horace George, the clarionet leader, has retired from the music industry, needed immediately to hold the patronage. Colored people will not support endeavor without first-class musicians who must contend for a standard salary. The Pekin Opens Under New Management—The States and Phoenix The Pekin has opened as a picture house, details of which will be given on the weekend. The States and coin剧院, both featured "The brute" and the orchestra at the States is extra fine. The Phoenix featured an indoor exhibition by Clarence Jones' orchestra. The Fountain had "The Price of Vanity." The Washington had good attendance. The Griffin sisters have retired from the Alamo theater. **STAGE NOTES AND STROLL NEWS.** Lawrence Emery Alexander was in town last week on a visit from Oklahoma, where he now resides. Miss Bessie Walters, the actress of 412 Mecca flats, is ill and will probably have to undergo an operation at an early date. Chestnut Cunningham has sold out his music store to J. A. Richardson, a railroad man, and will open a photo studio at 332 State street that new businesses will provide. The barber of 2926 State street has located at 352 State street. Tom Turner will place a billboard hall at 3334 State street. The retirement of Horace George from the Monogram orchestra recalls the fact that Wilbur Sweatman not only bought the house but was the first leader who used a musician's salary on State street to anywhere near the size of the price paid to a white musician. He paid $10,000, and rather than pay his salary A. E. HORACE GEORGE, Expert Caironet Leader, Who Resigned from the Monogram Theater. out resigning from his position. Henry B.

On the evening of April 28, I was given a special dinner by Tom Cross, C. V. B. A. actor, of New York, at the Monogram theater. Mrs. Jordan is an extra fine cook and the menu was served by a big stout waiter. We sat at the table with the children. Others present were Baby Brown, an actress, and Paul Lotterdale, a young man about town, but of good repute.

His singing number is a LOVE A THE MUSICAL LOVE AND KING good one-his own composition—"I Ain't Gwine to Be Here Long." His chronic bad feet are the subject of his book, *Gwine to Be Here*.

LOUIS, MO., THEATRICALS. Baby Mack. This mere strip of a girl, yet in her 'teens, is winning the hearts of her peers of the beautiful ballad "When I Lost you." This little miss has a good repertoire of three popular compositions, but in this one number she is sentimental and transmits it with an effect that reaches the hearts of all. To say she is destined to be a great performer is only detracting from the fact of the present; for she is a little star of distinctive brightness now. T. Spencer Finley. (DI) Spencer Finley has a concoction of matchless melodies in its first act. His monologue is new and bursting with humor. His parody on "Peg o' G my Heart" is a screamer. Mills. A good singing and dancing act, with plenty of rich dialogue, and a dramatic performance, is presented. Mills makes a hit with his eccentric buck dance and the Miss Smith's singing goes good. Mat Marshall and Will Thomas close the mat in a storm of erratic and eccentric tomee nonsense that is hilarious from the start. His goers go good, and their side-splitting dialogue serves to round out an act that is big hit with the crowds. LeRoy Morton and Eleanore Wilson are singing at Silver Grill and drawing crowded houses nightly. Chas. A. Hunter, who was for three seasons stage manager for Tile & Johnson's "Sheeley Regiment" and "Red Moon Co." will open the new Abrams Lin-Neck Avenue, May 11. WRIGHT WITH SPARKS' FAMOUS BIDE SHOW.

Montgomery puts over "According to Me" a song, in fine one. Miss McClain stunts a good one. Miss McClain's wardrobe, is prettily rendered. Her style is captivating. They close with the "Euonymus" and both appear as picks. Miss McClain's wardrobe is good all through. The team was very appearable at appearance each time. RINGLING BROS' SHOWS IN INDIA ANAPOLIS TO SHORE AND HIRB, BIRD. The Ringlings were in Indianapolis last Wednesday and in all their glory. We were in the parade, seeing the things the parade had to offer. The offerings were good and substantial, showing the wealth of the city and the wealth of the elephants, camels and so forth. Beautiful women and gallant men were features of the parade, and they have always surged. The weather helped; the threatened, ugly day gave way to a splendid day, adding "sunshine" to the grounds as they have always surged. **Roy Pope and His Band.** Pope, who retired from the Ringlings two seasons ago, has been recalled. The popular handmaster and Indianapolis were seen in the parade. In the parade, making music to the delight of all. He put on some rattling operas among the audience, and the element of the side show patrons showed signs of the Eagle Rock and white folks also caught the feeling, and got rather wobbly.
