One of the most touching ceremonies of Memorial day, perhaps the one which is felt most keenly by the surviving veterans, is the tributes collected in memory of the unknown dead. There were men who went into battle with their comrades, who fought the good fight and in the thick of the conflict disappeared forever. Some who were captured worked their way back to liberty. Others are lying in unmarked graves. And in baring his head to the unknown dead scarcely a soldier is forgetful of some such incident. Men who have tasted battle, who have offered their lives to their country, are better able to reckon the worth of patriotism than those who have endured no greater sacrifice than paying taxes. It is these men who feel most pain when they scent a growing spirit of indifference in the traditions of the nation. Such an occasion as Memorial day deserves reverential attention, and by their examples they try to instill reverence and patriotic principles in their children. ONE of 50 Oakland. Phone Piedmont 34. All Work Guaranteed. ON TO THE HIGHEST COURT 014 Seventh St. Oakland REMEMBERED IN SCOTLAND Soldiers of Our Civil War Have Memorial In Edinburgh Cemetery. ONE of the oldest burying grounds of Edinburgh, the Old Calton, which lies on a spur of the Calton crags, there stands close to the mausoleum that marks the grave of David Hume, philosopher and historian, a striking memorial, which, through the exertions of Wallace Bruce, formerly American consul in Edinburgh, was erected in 1893 to the memory of Scotsmen who fell in the American civil war. The memorial is visited by most of the American tourists who go to Edinburgh. It consists of a statue of Abraham Lincoln and, below it, sneeling with uplifted hands, a life size figure of one of the negro race whose freedom from slavery Lincoln secured. The memorial on a recent Memorial day was draped with the flags of the United States and Scotland, and over the folds of the stars and stripes and St. Andrew's cross were laid a number of beautiful wreaths, while loose flowers were strewn around the granite base, upon which the figures rest. A magnificent wreath of arum illies, lilies of the valley and evergreens was placed on the monument by the United States consul at Edinburgh, and another tribute was sent by the United States consul at Dunfermline. Miss Margaret Taylor, a woman over eighty years of age, visited the ground and placed on the memorial a small sheaf of flowers in memory of her brother, John Taylor, who, on March 7, 1863, fell in a skirmish at Rappahannock. When he left Scotland Taylor received a presentation watch from his employer. The watch was found on him after his death and was sent home to his people in Scotland, with a letter which he had written to his sister the day before he fell. "THE FIGHTING M'COOKS." No Other Family Has a Civil War Record Like Theirs. I was halted the other day before a remarkable painting that hung in the splendid rotunda of the old capitol building, called the statehouse, in Columbus, O., says Deshler Walsh in the National Monthly. It represented a group of ten men, every one of them strong in feature. The central figure was that of a man of commanding presence, past middle life, clothed in the old fashioned uniform of a United States army officer, seated on a camp chair, backed by a tended canopy. Around him in graceful positions, apparently considering certain plans of battle, were the other nine. The scene itself was a shady nook amid rolling ground, and in the distance, were a farmhouse and orch dence of pastoral life such as daily confronted the soldier who participated in the American civil war. This picture was labeled "The Fighting McCooks." The leader was Major Daniel McCook, and the others were his nine sons, every one of whom served in the army or navy of the United States. The father and three sons were killed in the struggle, four sons subsequently died in service, and another survived to become a well known lawyer of New York. These were of "the tribe of Dan." Another branch was called "the tribe of John," in which there were five members, making a total of fifteen, every one of whom was a commissioned officer, excepting Charles, of the first tribe, a volunteer private, who declined a commission in the regular army and was killed in the first battle of Bull Run. In all the annals of the war there is none more amazing, none more pulsating with heroism than this record of one family. the BOYS YEARS AGO $1—Gents' Suits Dry Cleaned. $1—Gents' Overcoats Dry Cleaned. $1—Ladies' Suits Dry Cleaned. $1—Ladies' Long Coats Dry Cleaned.

Aug. 19, 1864, Company F had but two men left, named McManus and Kull. These men, under the command of (then) Sergeant Losch, were among those on picket duty during the night. McManus had gone behind the line and was behind a tree when a flash of lightning revealed his whereabouts to Kull, who, mistaking him for a Confederate, fired and shot McManus in the head. Kull's mistake was discovered, and his comrade's body was carried to the rear, covered with a blanket and placed on the ground, a supposed dead Union soldier. Next morning, while a party of the regiment were seated around the camp fire discussing hardtack and coffee in close proximity to McManus' body, the blanket was seen to move, and directly, to the great consternation of the party. McManus rose up, walked to the fire and asked for a cup of coffee After his comrades had recovered themselves they returned to the fire and accommodated the resurrected McManus. He was badly wounded, however, and was sent to a hospital. The operation General Keifer, later in congress from the Springfield (O₂) district, was one of the last men wounded in civil war. He entered the volunteer army in April, 1861, and served until after Lee's surrender in 1865. In all that time he received three scratches, but shortly after the surrender he was scouting at the head of a small force of cavalry and came suddenly upon a large force of Confederate cavalry. There was a skirmish, in which Keifer was wounded and in which he would have been killed had it not been for the intervention of the Confederate commander, who, under the circumstances, simply wanted to be let alone. Keifer returned to camp, had his wound dressed, reported to headquarters and received special orders and with re-enforcements started to find the derelict Confederates. He found them, and Colonel Tucker, the Confederate commander, surrendered. Keifer carried Tucker's sword home with him, and it was kept in his library at Springfield as a trophy of the war. E are apt to live too much in the world that is and not enough in the world that ought to be; too much in the world of fact and not enough in the world of imagination. The facts of life alone will not satisfy human needs. They may satisfy a dog or a bee, but they will not satisfy a man. Man requires more than facts in his life. Along with the facts he must have imagination, must see more than is in sight, must feel more than the material things that touch him. He cannot live by bread alone. He must live a good deal by faith and by memories and in his hopes. The best and noblest and most consoling part of life is the life of the spirit, of religion, of the patriotism that would die for an idea, of the integrity that cares for right because it is right and for liberty because in liberty the soul of man grows strong and for order because without it liberty cannot endure. It is this part of life that Memorial寺 is ordained to foster this immaterial, invaluable, indispensable part of it. Money is useful wealth is past labor stored up for future use. Men will do much for money and they do well to be regardful of the usefulness of wealth. But they will do more for sentiment, for something that exists only in the imagination only in their hearts. Or that they will turn aside from the creation of wealth and will give their substance and, if need be, their very lives. It is to preserve this trait in men that Memorial day is instituted. It reminds us of our fathers, who gave thee the blessing to award S. Martin in Youth's Companion. "DEAD" SOLDIER AWOKE. Wounded Union Man Came to Life and Scared His Company. Major Samuel A. Losch of Pennsylvania once told the following remarkable episode of the civil war: After the charge in the fight at the Weldon land, in which his regiment participated, Aug. 19, 1864, Company F had but two men left, named McManus and Kull. These men, under command of (then) Sergent Losch, were among those on picket duty during the night. McManus had gone beyond the line and was behind a tree when a flash of lightning revealed his whereabouts to Kull, who, mistaking him for a Confederate, fired and shot McManus in the head. Kull's mistake was discovered, and his comrade's body was carried to the rear, covered with a blanket and placed on the ground, a supposed dead Union soldier. Next morning, while a party of the regiment were seated around the campfire discussing hardback and coffee in close proximity to McManus' body, the blanket was seen to move, and directly, to the great consternation of the party. McManus rose up, walked to the fire and asked for a cup of coffee. After his comrades had recovered themselves they returned to the fire and accommodated the resurrected McManus. He was badly wounded, however, and was sent to a hospital. The operation of trepanning was performed, and the soldier recovered. The Flag on Memorial Day. The following question is asked frequently: What is the correct way to put out a flag on Memorial day, May 30? Here is the answer, taken from the United States army regulations: "On Memorial day at all army posts and stations the national flag will be displayed at half staff from sunrise until midday, and before noon the band will play a dirge or some appropriate air. At the conclusion of this memorial tribute, at noon, the flag will be hoisted to the top of the staff and will remain there until sunset." On Memorial day or other occasion when the flag is displayed at half staff, on raising the flag it should go to the peak and then be dropped one width of the flag. In striking the flag it should be always returned to the peak before retiring. Open Night and Day. Easter Novelties 719 WASHINGTON STREET Office & Parlor, 2420 Webster St AT THE "BLOODY ANGLE." Recalled by Civil War Survivors as a Very Hot Place. One of the most desperate fights of the civil war was that which took place at the "Bloody Angle" on May 12, 1864. It is still remembered by the survivors as probably the hottest place they ever were in. General L. A. Grant, commander of the Vermont brigade, described the fight at the "dead line" as follows: "It was not only a desperate struggle, but it was literally a hand to hand fight. Nothing but the piled up logs or breastworks separated the combatants. Our men would reach over the logs and fire into the faces of the enemy, who would stab over with their bayonets. Many were shot and stabbed through the crevices and holes between the logs. Men mounted the works and with muskets rapidly handed them kept up a continuous fire until they were shot down, when others would take their places and continue the deadly work. "Several times during the day the Confederates would show a white flag about the works and when our fire shucked jump over and surrender, and others were crowded down to fill their places. It was there that the somewhat celebrated tree was cut off by bullets—there that the brush and logs were cut to pieces and whipped into basket stuff." General McGowan, who was on the other side of the trenches leading the South Carolina brigade, stated in his report: "Our men lay on one side of the breastwork, the enemy on the other, and in many instances men were pulled over. The trenches on the right had to be cleared of the dead more than once. An oak tree twenty-two inches in diameter in rear of the brigade was cut down by musket balls, and it fell about 12 o'clock Thursday night, the 12th, injuring several men in the First South Carolina regiment" IN THE WAR AND AFTER. Battle Incident Which Led Later to Restoration of a Sword. General Kelfer, later in congress from the Springfield (O.) district, was one of the last men wounded in the civil war. He entered the volunteer army in April, 1861, and served until after Lee's surrender in 1865. In all that time he received three scratches, but shortly after the surrender he was scouting at the head of a small force of cavalry and came suddenly upon a large force of Confederate cavalry. There was a skirmish, in which Kelfer was wounded and in which he would have been killed had it not been for the intervention of the Confederate commander, who, under the circumstances, simply wanted to be let alone. Kelfer returned to camp, had his wound dressed, reported to headquarters and received special orders and with re-enforcements started to find the derelict Confederates. He found them, and Colonel Tucker, the Confederate commander, surrendered. Kelfer carried Tucker's sword home with him, and it was kept in his library at Springfield as a trophy of the war. In 1876 Keifer was elected to congress and in 1881 was elected speaker. Among his acquaintances in 1879 was John Randolph Tucker of Virginia. In conversation one day Keifer told Tucker the story of the sword, and Tucker said the officer who surrendered the day of the skimish was undoubtedly his brother. This fact being established, Keifer took the sword to Washington and placed it in the hands of J. Randolph Tucker, who restored it to its original owner. In after years General Keifer became again a member of congress and found the son of J. Randolph Tucker in the father's seat. At Arlington. At Arlington the sun goes down, The autumn sun sinks round and red. As though with radiance to crown The sacrificial blood they shed— Those heroes who by stream and steep Fought fearless, if they lost or won, And now sleep deep their long last sleep Beneath the sod of Arlington. —Clinton Scollard.

NATIONAU NEGRO. rae | —_— sw ATIORSsociaTION \ May PANIES koe eye eet THE BLACK CAESAR. In the death of Bishop H. M, Turner the nation, the race and the great A. M. E. Church have sustained a great loss, Few men have stood up in the South and condemned the whites for lack of their Christian duty to their fellow blacks. His back-to-Africa doc- trine that stirred the country a few decades ago was not a myth a8 we now see it. We had hoped that the local church would drape itself in mourning for the great defender and builder, and we also sineerely hope and expect that a memorial’ service will be held by! the local congregation in testimony to Bishop Turner's worth to} the connection. WQULD LAY DOWN THE BURDEN. Miss M. V. Simmons, who has been president of the Civic Cen- ter since its organization, has signified her intention to step aside and have someone else as president. Miss Simmons is a faithful worker and we would like to see someone as devoted to the cause as she is at the head of such a useful organization. This Center should be the leading society among our club women as a common forum, where all can come and exchange ideas on political and civic questions. The Sunshine sees no reason why the organization should not lead them all, and if it is properly officered it will be the Center it should be. Let our club ladies not overlook ‘the Civic Center while attending to their other lodges and societies. SHOULD WE TAKE PART IN ALAMEDA COUNTY DAY AT THE EXPOSITION? Miss Myra V. Simmons is calling a meeting at the Zion Church on Campbell street to ascertain this fact, Now, to our mind we could with a degree of pride go right into this day's festivities with all our might as loyal citizens of Alameda County, not as Negroes or as any other race, but as citizens, march together, ride together, sing if necessary together and still be citizens of the county, and 4this can be done without any elaborate preparation or expense. So Wa are quite in favor of just as many of our colored citizens turning out on Alameda Day as can possibly do so and show to our visitors that this is our Fair and our State and that we appreciate it. ‘Again the time draws near for Memorial Day’, the day set aside to the glory and honor of our brave men who died on’ the battle- fields. “As the 30th is on Sunday, memorial exercises will be held Monday, May 3ist, ‘The Hon, Samuel Shortridge will make the memorial address to the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Short- ridge is the silver-tongue orator of the Golden West. Extract from an address by Robert Ingersoll, the friend of the Negro: “But in the South the ‘Negro toiled -unpaid, and mothers wept while their babes were sold and at the auction block husbands and wives speechless looked their last good-bye. But pity pointed to the scarred and bleeding backs of slaves; mercy heard the sobs of mothers reft of babes and Justice held aloft the scales in which one drop of blood shed by the master’s Tash outweighed a nation’s gold. There were a few men, a few women, who had the courage to attack this monstrous crime. They found it intrenched in con- stititions, statutes and decisions. And upon its cruel altar had been sacrificed our country's honor. One of the able and responsible colored business men of Oak- land in speaking of our Hall Association says: First, we need a hall and should have one; second, it would be a wise idea to get as much as $2,000 cash and appoint a committee to sce various contractors fand select one to advise as to methods to be adopted by the people BA eae BISHOP TURNER LAID TO REST Services Held .at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday, ea teens, SEM: ene, Sa Sct aon The greatest’ funeral held in. this city for many years was held today at Bethel A. M. E. Church, when Bishop Henry: McNeal Turner, Senior Bishop of the A. M. E, Church, was laid to rest, amidst the sorrows of many friends. Bethel Church, one_of the largest auditoriums in the city, proved far too small for the concourse ‘9f people who gathered.

This is occasioned, declare- the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they —all_ replied, “We will wait to get the big dolls.” While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are be‘.g rapidly sent out. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls vill be shipped threughout the year, declares the mavager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come.

Has some plans of his own he would like to see put in practice. Says we should have a hall by all means. In view of the raise in price of For- esters Hall and the red tape and in- convenience the lodges are put to since the new order of things began there are those of our people who are getting really in earnest about the proposed hall und the association that has that matter in charge. Therefore the Sunshine desires to get the opin- ion of the citizens in general of any plan they might have to submit. ‘Miss Myra Simmons, president of the Civic Center, a thorough race woman, is in favor of the Hall, She says: “Put it_up; the sooner it is up the better.” She further states that it is the duty of every. business man to put their hands in their pockets and contribute freely to this noble cause Mrs, Tobe Williams, another woman that does credit to our race is also very much in favor of the Hall. Her opinion is that a hall is about the very best thing we could build at, this day and time. Other towns of cities with ‘a smaller population of colored people than Oakland have halls of their own and why should we beso far behind?

The West Indian Aid Association, being ever mindful that the public ts its friend, have at great cost and care secured the original god of the great Hottentot tribe of South Africa, as one of the special features at thetr free picnic This immense idol was supposed to have been made about the fourth or fifth centyry of the Christian era. No single feature of any picnic, in any state has ever ap- proached it in importance. As a work Of art it is without doubt the greatest production of the old and ancient Ethiopians who lived in the days of the proud queen of Sheba. We hope that an immense con- course of our people will visit the pic- nic park at Shellmound on August 2, to view this great and marvelous relic ef ancient negro antiquity.

After the general routine of business a lively protest was made against the motion pictures of the Clansman, with the result a neat sum was subscribed to help fight the cause. A number of occurrences concerning the Negro race were men- tioned, among which, The cause of the tardiness of Mr. Howard Drew in the race at the Exposition grounds, and of the notice given in one of the, papers to the effect that Mr. Chana- cey Alcott will sing “Who Knows” by “Dunbar” in The Heart of Paddy| Whack to be played at Macdonough| Theatre.

Simmons, presi- dent, presided at the meeting which was" called to determine what part the race in this country would take in Alameda County day at the Expo- sition on June 10. ‘There was a, fair attendance and each one present was enthusiastic over the idea presented.

Simmons, Chairman; Mrs. M. G. Stafford, Secretary; Mrs. Tobe Wil- liams, Treasurer. Owing to the lim- ited time in which to prepare a pro- gram, the definite plans decided on as being feasible was for representation in the parade. It was suggested that floats be arranged for to contain as many colored children of this county. as can be obtained, and the Sunday Schools and public in general will be called upon to help’ further this: plan. Other suggestions were made that the various clubs and fraternal orders at- range to go in automobiles, decorated automobiles, sightseeing cars, or in the pedestrian march to represent themselves.

WEBBER 3306 Adeline Street Berkeley "ORDERED SHOT" A MEMORIAL DAY STORY THE original manuscript of the following narrative is in the possession of a grandnephew of the man who wrote it in the year 1862 in one of the camps of the Federal army. It is here printed for the first time. The real names of persons and of places have been changed to fictitious ones. The signature at the end, which was somewhat rapidly written, was apparently added later, since immediately above it there are obvious signs of a pen having adhered to the paper by means of dried ink. As will be seen, it was intended for one who would already be in possession of some of the facts of the case, and it is in that light that it must be read. It is dated from the camp of the Federal army at Jacksonville, Md., Sept. 25, 1862, and reads thus: It is now 10 p. m., and I am to be shot at daybreak. I am tired and have not much time before me for writing. Yet I am going to set down here clearly and so that no doubt may remain what happened in my case at the storming of Davidstown redoubt the day before yesterday and how it was that I did what I did. I write this to you, my nephew and only near relative, so that you may read it when you grow up (for they have promised to let my lawyer have it). You will then know how your father died, and you will also know that nothing dishonorable attaches to my name—our name—in spite of all. The court has found me guilty, but that is mere circumstance—hideous circumstance. It is not my fault, and my conscience is clear before God, my final tribunal. Firstly, though, I must tell you about your father. Long before the war broke out he and I had quarreled about your dear mother. That is a MELERO... "I KILLED THAT MAN—MEN BEHIND ME SAW IT." different story. Never mind that. It was another hard stroke of fate in my life, though perhaps it will all be put right now. We both loved her, your father and I, and he won. I left our home and went to New York, where I joined Samson & Headley, then a rising firm of engineers. Your father stayed at the old place down south—which I hope will be left for you when this hateful war is over—and there he married your mother and ran the plantation. We had been very dear friends all our lives, he and I, and I was further embittered by that separation, coming as it did in addition to my other great loss, for your mother was the sweetest woman that ever walked this earth, Cecil; remember that. She died four years ago next December on your birthday. Your father I never saw again until the day before yesterday. It is as much for the sake of her memory as for my other reason that I am making this statement for you. When this war broke out your father, of course, was bound to the south, the Confederates, I, however, had severed my connection with the south. I had no interest in it. On the contrary, I had every reason to fight for the north. And I have done so and fought as well as any man—with what a result: My boy, learn to hate war, and, above all, civil war, for that is when hell is let borne upon earth. Thank God that your mother never lived to see this: As for myself, in one way I am not sorry that this has happened, though I wish with all my heart that I had died fighting the day before yesterday, for desultate all my efforts life has been a burden to me for years—in fact, ever since that which I first told you of. For your mother, when I dared think of her (could think of her, I should say), I never knew anything but love. I was not so grief stricken when I heard of her death as I thought I should have been. I have loved her better and been more at peace since then. Your father never let me know of her death; I heard of it from a casual friend. So instead of a possible reconciliation between your father and me, a thing which I would have almost welcomed then over her grave, I think I hated him more. They say love can only turn to hatred, never to friendship, and so that chance passed. It is midnight now. Well, the next thing I must tell you is that the man in my regiment whom I killed was—as they said at the court martial today—an enemy of mine. His name was Williams, and he was until recently employed in our firm in a comparatively subordinate position. He was a troublesome, selfopionated man, of no great value to the business, and not long ago he was gotten rid of, largely at my instigation and thoroughly as he deserved. However, he belonged to the militia, and when the war broke out he was given a commission in this regiment. I volunteered for service, and I, too, was put into this regiment as private, and thus it came about that he so soon found himself in a position to take his revenge upon me, and well did he do it, the blackguard. That's immaterial now, but it is necessary that you should understand that the whole regiment knew these facts, and knew, too, that although I had supported his bullying for a long time without a murmur it was not unlikely that I should try to get even with him if I had an opportunity. Our regiment was almost in the center of the first line the day before yesterday at the storming of the big redoubt, and we had had the brunt of the fighting all day. The enemy had thrown up some very strong earthworks in front of the main defenses, and our artillery, alided by the infantry, had had a lot of work to do in demolishing them and driving the enemy from them. We had stormed the earthworks twice already and had lost at least a third of our officers and men. I had two minor wounds only. The captain of my company, Franklin, was killed in the second assault; and Williams took his place in command. Then the big assault was ordered on a weak point in their main defenses where our heavy artillery had made a breach, and we were hurled at it, regiment upon regiment. There was a surge and a roar of fighting. One was conscious of nothing but explosions and shouts and screams, blood everywhere and men struggling and men fallen. At last I was on the slope at the foot of the breach, stumbling over bodies and fighting my way blindly, half ehoked by smoke and dust. And then suddenly I saw your father. I cannot explain what happened within me at that moment. I was half mad and dazed from a wound in the head and perhaps half a child again. I cannot explain, but I saw him as though he were the only man before me. Despite all the years since I had last seen him and the state he was in, with blood and grime on his face and in his grizzled hair, I saw him as though we were at home together in the old days. It was as though a vision flashed on me and made me unconscious of the ghastly holocaust around us. Perhaps your mother was near. But it was only to be an instant. He saw me also, and whether the same feelings were in him I do not know, but he stood as if turned to stone with his gaze full on me. The next instant some one in front of me and to my right, I could not see who it was, dashed forward and buried a sword half its length in his chest. I can see George's face now. His jaw dropped, but his eyes remained fixed on me till he fell. Then I went quite mad, I think. I felt choked, and things swam before me. I killed that man. I do not actually remember how, but men behind me saw it. He was Williams, of course, the man who killed your father and for whom I am to be shot in an hour or two. I am tired and will stop. I have said everything, I think. But I am not sorry. I believe absolutely in the hereafter, and I think that I shall find Helen and George in a very little time now. Goodby, my boy, and God bless you! —Sphere. Memorial Day Like All Souls' Day. Memorial day is in truth nothing more than a secular All Souls' day. It owes its origin, according to some accounts, to the women of the south, who began the practice of decorating their graves less than two years after the close of the civil war. That struggle of four years had kept our country in a constant state of commotion and excitement. Every part of the nation had contributed its men, young and old, to the conflict. When peace was restored there was scarcely a village or town that did not have a grave to remind it of the fearful cost. A New York newspaper first published a paragraph stating that a few women of Columbus, Miss., had strenu the graves of the dead soldiers, Union as well as Confederate. This touching tribute caused a thrill of tenderness to pass through the north, and it aroused, as probably nothing else could have done a feeling of national amity and love FORD'S HAIR POMADE MAKER HAIR, HUMAN OR CURLY HAIR GLOSSY, SOFTER AND MORE PLURAL, EASY TO COMB AND PUT UP IN ANY STYLE THE LENGTH WILL PROMIT, CHECKLED FOR PREVENTING HAIR FROM FALLING OUT, MIRRORED AND FIRMING OF SCALE REVENUE OF IMITATIONS, KEY THE GENIINE, PUT UP IN 20 AND 30 BOTTLES WITH CHARLES FORD'S NAME ON EVERY PACKAGE TRY FORD'S ROUY WHITE SKIN LOTION FOR THE COMPLETION OF YOUR SKIN.
