AMUSEMKXTS. The Old Municlnu" "The liemt Mia." ' One of the strongest points In Felix Morris's success iiti an actor Is the result of his work In the dressing room. Mr. Morris Is a muster of the art of. "making: up," and when he leaves the mirror In his dressing room to make his entrance on the stage he , does it with the knowledge that no matter how far he may mil's the Interpretation of the line he wfll "look" , the part. It Is due to this fact as much as- to anything he may do. while before an audience that the people always nee a clever representation of whatever character he may assume. This has'no better exemplilicatlon than In the two roles taken by him last night at the Grand In "The Old Musician' and "The Best Man." As dear poetic old J acqui s with bis treasured opera hugged to his shallow breast and later as the comical Price Puttlow, who know all about running railroads, but It a blundering "ninny" whn it comes to dealing with women, Felix Morris gave two personations with. as little in common as any two distinct men one could pick out. "The Old Musician" is a man of refined soul, learned, poetical, a paragon of nobility of nature, used to "heartaches and cursed with poverty. Price Puttlow is a railroad magnate, to whom the manuscript of an opera has as little value as a bunch of piper in his wastft backet. His thoughts are of tolling stock, tonnage, section improvamvsrus ard llgurea showing the percentages of increase or decrease in net receipts, Hia trams, every day, might thunder past th? garret where the Old Musician was at work on his great opera that is to be. He would know no more of the poor old starving Jacques up there In the cobwebby tittle than would Jacques know of him, the wellfed, busy manager .of rallraads. His trains would not even stop to let Jacques's funeral procession cross the tracks. There, would be .no probability of two such characters ever meeting to. know each other in this world, and a question if they would in the next, yet Felix Morris, with his knowledge of the art of portraying character, presents both to the public during the course of a three hours entertainment. - He dons the worn garments f the musical genius, goes before the public and tells the pitiful story of tJhe old composer's life, and the audience weeps. Within s. few brief minutes he appears as Trice Puttlow and tumbles Into a series of ludicrous happenings that expose the railroad man to the ridicule and laughter of the same audience. The old musician has gone as a dream. There are communities In this country where, should Felix Morris play "Th 5 Old ' Musician," it would be no surprise to hear of some big(heartwd digger getting up and offering to pass the hat for a collection to relieve Monsieur Jacques's necessities. The same person would likely demand satisfaction should you offer to suggest that Price Puttlow in "The Best Man" were the same man, except la a different dress. HOW MORRIS BECAME AN ACTOR. At this time It Is not out of place to quote an article showing bow Felix Morris became an actor. It Is as follows: "Felix Morris Is generally regarded and referred to as an English actor, but the truth Is, that, though of English bifth and, educated In Frunce and Scotland, he has made America hla home and claims to be un American citizen. Mr. Morris is of Scotch and English parentage, and at the uge of sixteen entered Guy's Hospital, London, as an American student, where he remained for two years, and during that time appeared In a series of amateur theatrical performances, together with a number of his fellow-students. Meeting with so much commendation, in the language of the actor himself. It "quite turned his head, and he immediately conceived the Idea that an actor he must become, and again, as he hlmeclf says: . ., , ' '1 went to my father, a very religious man. and toll him that I had a mission.' .. jiay, what is your mission?' he inquired. "To become an actor, I answered. " 'Very well, then.' he said; 'if that Is the case, leave the country so that you will not disgrace your family and myself." "At that I made up my mind that I would go to America,' and so with what little money my father gave me, I set nail for this country and landed in New York with but l in my pocket and not a friend in the land. I secured a position as super in an Albany theater, then managed by John W. Albaugh, at $3 a week, and there remained for three years, rising by degrees until I had small speaking parts. Then I went to Montreal, where 1 met with gratifying success, finally managing a theater there for some time. Later, in New York, I appeared in a- number of special productions with unusually strong casts. 1 was iirst comedian in the tock company at the California Theater, San Francisco, and for a time appeared in comic opera. About eight years ago I ,vent to England for my health, and while there was asked to appear at a matinee performance at Toole's Theater. The play was "On Change." I acted the rob of a Scotch professor. My work, I am fr?e to say. .vas accorded so much praise that 1 played consecutive times in London and starred through. Scotland and Ireland with great success, which continued some two years. After that I returned to this country and was warmly received everywhere. While I think our American people fully appreciate true art, I think they look more ct , stage productions as amusement than for an instruction, and I believe the English people ar. growing more that way. Stage life Is full of Interest, and if one can but attain the position he seeks- he is fully rewarded." , . . Manor YIImIv'm Cimcrrt. There was a very good audience, last evening, at Meridian-street Church, to listen to the concert, of which Signor Vitale, of Brooklyn, was the leading performer. Signor Vitale is a violinist, a pupil of the great Ole Bull. In many respects he is a wonderful player. Without accompaniment of any kind he gave a rendition of "Caprlcciosos Characteristic," by Gluck, so Jhat it siunded as If he were flaying not only one, but several instruments. He gave effects which cannot be exjyessed. One cn scarcely connect score or manuscript with what he does. He stanid and plays without effort 1 the most difficult and unique movements. The programme and encore numbers were the one mentioned, "Traumere!," "Last Ila.'ie of Summer" (the last variation on one strlna). "Annie Laurie," "The Mocking Bird" (Introducing imitations of various birds).-and "Robin Adatr." His audience THE GREATEST PUttf FIEO POD TOE DU30D.

of last night never listened to such bird singing from a violin. The thin, high, vibrating notes of the canary were remarkably cleverly given. As a piayer of the extremely high notes he la far ahead of any one heard in this city for a long time. Signor Vitale will remain In the city a fortnight, the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Sims. Miss Lulu A. Fisher, or Noblesville, sang "Canzonetta," by Helmund. She Mas a sweet- and clear soprano, not particularly strong, but what it lacks in power it makes up in the two other qualities. She was heartily recalled and sang ""Twas April," by Nevin., The choir of the church was assisted by Mrs. W. E. Sharpe, of Cleveland, and Mr. Lebo, of Kokomo, who took the places of Miss Messing and Mr. Meek. They sang "O Our God," by Shelly, and Miss Fisher, Mr. Lebo and Mr. Ernestinoff sang "All Hail. Triumphant Lord," by Fabiani. Mr. Hansen, the organist, opened the programme and closed with the introduction to the third act of "Lohengrin." He knows his instrument so well and always plays with such correctness and so much spirit that no one was surprised at the. excellence of his performance.

After the immense success at the world's fair, where his animals gave over six hundred performances and were witnessed by over three millions of people, and later in New York where they have recently concluded the phenomenal run of seven months at the great Madison-square Carden, they' are now touring the United States, after which they will leave the country for a tour around the world, they being already booked abroad.

United States Judge Wheeler to-day decided that twentyeight trained snakes of as marry different kinds which were detained by the customs authorities when they arrived with Julia Belie Magnon the French snake charmer, known as "La Belle Charmouse," were "instruments" and hence exempt from duty under the clause of the tariff act covering "professionel books, implements, instruments and tools of trade, occupation or employment." The Judge found a definition of "instruments" in a dictionary which he thought broad enough to take in the snakes. . Salllvau Hreuku I'n Ills Cumpiiii). PARIS, 111., Jan. 4. John L.

The dance for the young people was in the several parlors and broad hall of the home. Miss Daisy Clark assisted the young people In receiving, their company. Refreshments were served in the dining room which was prettily set with pink, green and white. Pink and green ribbons crossed on the table and at the edge ended In large bows. A banquet lamp with a pink shade gave color to the center and pink and white flowers completed the adornment. About one hundred young: friends accepted the hospitality and danced till a late hour. Mr. and Mrs. Mcintosh and daughters gave a handsome party last evening at their home on West Vermont street in honor of their guest. Miss Sinclair. Miss Sinclair wore a pretty gown of pink moire with a chiffon waist. The spacious home was decorated with holiday garlands which entwined the staircase and met in festoons from the corner of the room to the chandelier in each room. American Beauty and other roses and carnations were used to fill the mantels. The floors were covered with white and with the green of the garlands and colors of the flowers made an invittng assembly place. There were many in attendance. Among those from, out of town were Miss Florence Byrnes and Miss Stella Mcintosh, of Louisville; Miss Katherine DePauw, of New Albany; Miss Henrietta Stoy, of Lafayette; Miss Mary Thomson, of Edinburg; Miss Edna Dunlap, of Franklin; Miss Clara Peery. of Greensburg; Mr. . Charles Neely, of Columbus, and Messrs. Charles and Frank Malott, of Bedford. Refreshments were served In the dining room, which was decorated with holly and green, and In the cozy sitting room with its couches, and pillows, and comfortable chairs, many tete-a-tetes were enjoyed. Over two hundred invitations were issued for the party. .. Mr. Felix 'Morris, whose artistic performances are so delightful, with his wile entertained a large audience yesterday afternoon in the assembly hall of the Propylaeum, for a kind charity to the Flower Mission. The platform was set with plants. Mr. Morris was introduced by Air. Morris Ross, through whose instrumentality the Flower Mission secured the artist. Mr. Ross, in his remarks, said: "This man who. under so many masks has charmed and delighted us all, needs no Introduction from me." Mr. Morris craved the Indulgence of his auditors as he was suffering from a severe cold. Then followed the reading a brief and varied programme with all the grace and skill of which Mr. Morris is such an acknowledged master. The first selection was "'The ride to Dlngley Dell" from Pickwick Papers. The humorous account of getting the four wheel chaise, the horse that was brought out to ride and the several experiences, were depicted with characteristic excellence. A tine bit of play was in the action given by Mr. Morris, in the description of the way the horse dlpported himself. ,The hearer could see tha whole thing ,as plearly as if on the spot, an eyewitness of the Incident. In contrast to the Pickwick number was the selection from the "Little, Minister" by J. M. Barrie, "Taking Nanny to the Poor House." The touching pathos Of the situation brought tears. The accent, the quivering voice, the dumb protest and the pitiful prayer were all too deftly portrayed. It was enough to wring the heart with the exquisite sadness which tinges the story. The "One-legged Goose" from Colonel Carter, of Cartersville, was omitted on account of Mr. Morris's condition. This made another sad number follow ""Nanny," the "Little Boy Blue" by Eugene Field. If some In the audience shed tears at the first they wept copiously nt the latter. When a reader can make one forget his personality and bring only the picture before the mind, with such clearness. as did Mr. Morris, a height is reached which even the listener cannot explain, but only uccept as an evidence of artistic power. Just at the close,- when applause was still ringing, Mr. Morris said. he would give way to Mrs. Mcrrls. The talented wife gave "How It Happened," a monologue written for her by Mr. Morris. It is a simple confession of how the young woman who is the dancing teacher of the three small daughters of a titled lady, meets the lady's brother. He insists on witnessing the lesson and urges the teacher to waltz with him. in order to show the children just how it ought to be done. He gets his arm about her waist and while dancing tells of his love and begs her to be his wife. The lady surprises them In the act and dismisses the teacher, while the brother in the next moment, announces the engagement. Mrs. Morris gave a graceful rendition of the monologue and added just enough of the dame to suit the words. She was heartily recalled, but only bowed her acknowledgments. The selection from "Creole Days" was also omitted. The next given was "Preparing for Company" from "The Window in Thrums" by Barrie. One did not need eyes to see the room, the scolding wife, tbe daughter, the hen-pecked man, the, narrow stairs, the getting ready for the company, which, upon arrival, was told "the visit was so unexpected." The audience laughed at the inncent deceit of the chief actors in the- little home drama. The last was "The Hat In the nt" by Anstey. This relates the trouble which the woman in a big hat causes in a Ijondon theater, for those who are back of her. What threatens to disturb the whole audience is finally amicably adjusted. The fdory is well told. Those who heard it and pat through it with their own towering and spreading feathers, ribbons and pasies, enjoyed it quite as much as the others. After the readings a reception was given to Mr. and Mrs. Morris by the ladies of the Flower -Mission. The reception was in the East iarlor. Mrs. V. IC Hendricks, president of the Flower Mission. Mr. and Mrs. Mjrris Ross. Mrs. J. R. McKee. Miss Anna Nicholas and Mr. James Whltcomb Riley assisted in meeting the guests and in introducing them to Mr. and Mrs. M arris and Mr. Haywood, Mrs. Morris's Bister. Mn. Morris wore a gown of black moire with a waist of crimson silk and a Veneilan cellar of jet. Each of the receiving ladles carried flowers. The room was decoracd with palms and flowers and great bunches of Bermuda lilies tied with ribbons were on the tables. Mrs. Kate I". Morris. Mrs. John C. Dean and Mrs. Harry Murphy presided at the table and served ices which were ' passed by the members of the Flower Mission, all of whom were among the entertainer. Among the company were Miss Mitchell, .of Goshen; Miss Iowell. of St. Louis; Mrs. A. J. Thomas, of Evansville: Miss McDermott. of Cincinnati; Miss Byers. of liOUisville, and several hundred Indianapolis iwjcple. The affair was one of the Important events of the season, from an artistic and social point. Small F"Irc on Pennsylvania Street.

MR. MEYER'S REMARKS

cnoAvs CAisTic iv iu:fi;hiu to Mil. MARTIXUALIi'S III Civ POXDS. Does ot Think IlieKnlire City Slionld my lor Draining:' Thm Sonth- ' Side Improvements. The charter amendment committer; held another meeting in the !lyoi'z of.lre kst night. On W. P. Kldhb.ick'a inoUcn to change the manner of procedure In the preliminary work of public improvement Commissioner Meyer, of the Board of Public Works, took an opportunity to fay a lew words about the street improvements wh'ch have been made in the past and also as to the personnel of the committee which is now considering the amendments. Mr. Flshback's proposition, as before given in the Journal, is to have ths Board of WorKs advertise for bids for nil kinds of Improvements when a .street in A.9 be paved and then submit propositions for three kinds of streets to the interested property owners, who .within ten days may select the kind of street they want. This called Mr. Meyer to his feet. , "Gentlemen," he said, "Jf that provision is adopted you might just as well provide for the reduction, of the salaries ,of the members of the Board, of Works to about $300 a year, for they will not earn any more. Now, I can tell this committee some facts about street improvements that will probably be news- t9 itJ I don't call to mind a single street which! has been paved, except South Meridian street, which was not done over the remonstrance of the people. They were streets which It was conceded should be paved. We, have a great many paved streets on the (North Side, but all of them were laid' over remonstrances which in most cases. were . almost strong enough to defeat the improvement. . .Several have been defeated In, that part of the city. On" the other hand we have paved streets on the South Side, not so many it Is true, but there are not - near , so many open thoroughfares there. The people of the South Side have petitioned for their streets, and when the resolutions , were adopted 'nave not filed great, iong remonstrances and attempted to defeat tue Improvement. Remonstrances nave Deen nleu, but tney were usually by a email minority. And now this committee undertakes to consider this matter of public improvements and does not contain a single member from the South Side except myself, and I am only a member because t am a part of the Board of Public Works." "How about Mr. Costello?" asked Judge Martindale. "1 am hardly a representative of the South Side," remarked Mr. Costello. "It is true I am Just below the line, but I am simply - a member of , this committee because I happened to be a member of the City Council, and not because I was particularly wanted on-the-committee." "The point I wish to make' resumed Mr Meyer, "is that this committee is tailed together as a -committee of representative citizens to discuss the needed amendments to the city charter, but in fact it Is not such a committee at all. Every man who was appointed on this committeft by Judge Martindale lives on the North Side, where all the remonstrances against . improvements come from, and the South Side, where the workingmen-live and where improvements are accepted and paid for without a murmur, has two representatives, and both of them are simply, accidents I mean are members of the committee by accident." i . !,;. Immediately after: these remarks Judge Martindale announced that two members of the committee had . been compelled to leave the city and asked permission to appoint others, which was granted, but nothing was said about -them being from the South Side. . j - Mr. Ftshback also' proposed that the value of public improvements, of all kinds, to be done In . any 'one year, should be limited to $500,000.-Both matters were referred to the committee, of attorneys without recommendations .v--". Dr. Franklin W. Hiykr of ' the Board of Health, offered an 'amendment, embodying the suggestions made; at the last meeting by Dr. Hurty. It is to authorize the Board of Health to appoint a sanitarian, who shall be a physician, "chemist and microscopist.'He is to devote his entire time to the city's work and receive $i,000(a year. At the present time the city pays the secretary of the Board of Health $:'00 a year, the city chemist $000, and the clerk of the Board of Health . $1.00(i.. , making $l,a00 in all. All thl: work wouldv be done by the sanitarian, with the "assistance of a female clerk, which woukl , make . the additional cost to the city about $700 a year, The amendment was adopted and referred to the committee of , attorneys for a draft of a suitable bill. -. i Mr. George G. Tanner, surveyor of customs, proposed that the salaries of the members of the Board of Health be increased to $300 a year and that the word "practicing," In reference "t vhe f(ualilleations of the physicians who compose the board be stricken out, thus aMowing any physician, even thouga he has retired from the active practice .. medicine, .to become a member of the board. This was adopted and referred to the committee of aUornpvs. The proposed chang in the description cf who shall have a right to remonstrate against Improvements -was- reported by City Attorney Scott. He ha drawn the amendment to read "The persons residing in such city and owning a freehold estate upon the line of such proposed improvement," to take the place of the line which now reads, "Resident freeholders upon such street or alley." This was considered satisfactory and was adopted ns-the committee's final action on this matter. The amendments in regard to attorney's fees for collecting assessments and providing that sweeping be-pakt for ifrom the general fund were also approved, as drawn by the subcommittee, and final action taken upon them . , t Mr. Martindale offered . his amendment providing for the building of all main sewers with a general tax. which has been outlined in full in the Journal, and' aked that it be referred to the (drafting committee with instructions to report an amendment embodying its main features. This brought on a lively discussion, and Mr. Meyers, of the Board of Works, intimated that Mr. Martindale had some duck ponds in the northern part of the city which he would like to have drained, but wanted the owners cf the down-toVn property to pay the expense. The Insinuation was thrown out so broadly that Mr. Martindale felt cc nstrained to answer it. He said he did not deny that he looked after his own interest, but said that if his property was located down town he would still te willing to admit that main sewers should be paid for according to the , value of the land and not according to the area, but was candid enough to admit that under those circumstances he would not spend days fighting for such an amendment as he has proposed. Mr. Tanner offered an amendment to Mr. Martlndale's amendment providing that one-half the cost of the main sewers be assessed against valuation and the other half against area. Commissioner Conner, of the Board of Safety, argued that sewers were not suggested or conceived cn account of rain water, but on account of sewage, although, he said. It Is true that a larga part of the tost is because they are made to carry off surface water, too. He contended that because it is sewage that makes them necessary, they should be built by the persons who make the sewage and not by the little cottage owner, -ho has only a slight US3 for vthem. The prosibility of incorporating the features propoped by Mr. Martindale in a la-, and making it constitutional, was questioned, and the entire matter was finally referred to the committee of attorneys without instructions. . ... f .... - Mayor Denny offered an amendment to increase the salary of the city attorney to $4,000 and give the Council the right to make it $3,000. He explain?d that the salary is now the same that has been ; paid for the . last thirteen years and that the work has fully doubled since the city has had its new charter, lie gave a -condensed statement of the -.vork done by Mr. Scott during the nast year, which showed that he had settled damage suits which demanded over $1"00,KK! for about 2 p.-r cent, of the amount claimed; had written a large number of opinions for the different departments, besides drawing up a large part of the ordinances which have passed thi Council. The amendment was adopted. Mayor Denny explained that . any., amendments changing salaries -xould have no effect on the present incumbent of the office, as th? charter forbade the incric of any salary to take effect during any man's term of office. .'. . Senator R. F. Stuart, by letter to Judge Martindale. submitted propositions to make the Controller and Commlsicners of Public Works elective. He suggested, that the two leading parties nominate two persons, each, for members of the Board of Works, and that the threj receiving the highest number-of votes be elected He also submitted the sewer proposition.' previously submitted by Judge Martindale, and askrd that the Controller be required to pay the members of the police -and lire force nionih-

ly. Hester McClitng, through W. P. Fishback, asked that the garbage be collected at public expense. All the communications were - referred to the committee of attorneys without recommendation. The committee adjourned to meet again next Friday night. , V. T. MAKCY'S AFFAIRS.

NEW TEACHERS NAMED SCHOOL nOAHU APPOIXTS l'At l I.TY . FOR MAXIAL THAIMSG SCHOOL. A Committee Inorew Ltfvrewt Bid on Electric Light I'lxtnrcw Sttitement of Finance. The meeting of the School Commissioners last evening was spiritless. Matters purely routine were considered. Only once did a shadow of the old-time feeling appear, and that was caused by Mr. Hendrickson, and was of short duration. The report of A the treasurer, showing the amount of warrants drawn during September, was submitted. From the special fund, $8,764.44 Was drawn;, from the Manual Training School fund, $8,609.19; from the tuition fund, $21,993.24; from the Gregg fund, $70, and from the library fund, $5,426.79. The treasurer's report also showed that there was ' a balance of $127,748.88 in the special fund upon Jan. 1. The balances in the other funds upon the same date were: Gregg fund, $975.58; Gregg income fund, $23; Manual Training School fund, $1,706.11. The balance in the treasury is $33,489.42. M. Kuchler put in a claim against the board for $20.33, which he says is due him for labor to J. C. and C. C. Pierson, contractors on the Manual School building. Townsend Brothers also filed a claim for work rendered to the Cleveland Roofing Company. President Martindale expressed an opinion that the board could not act as a collection agency and make a business of seeing that men employed on the newbuilding obtained their pay. Mr. Hendrickson called attention to the fact that it is a provision of the specifications that all bills must be paid by the contractors, and that it la the duty of the board to see that the specifications are respected. Mr. Martindale showed an inclination to pass the matter, but Mr. Hendrickson kept the floor and demanded an answer to his statements by saying: "If you do not Intend to protect our people and see that they get their money, then change your specifications." While he spoke he shook his finger at Mr. Martindale and emphasized the pronoun "you." Mr. Martindale only Ktniled and said there was plenty of time for consideration, as the bills would have to lay on tha table for a week anyway. That is the nearst approach to a tilt during the session. The oommittee having in charge the se lection of teachers for th? Manual Training School recommended that the following be appointed to positions at the salaries given: W. J. Thlsselle, $900 a year; J. J. Tree, $1,000; Helena G, Sturm, $7."); Anna Taylor, $1,200; F. H. Noyes, $1,2W; F. L. Jones,-$1,000; Henrietta Ingersoll, $750; Kate W?ntz, $1,000; James Yule, $950, and Mary C. Comstock, $1,000. There was no objection made to the report, so it was adoptsd. The committee on hygiene, heating and janitors recommended that Elmer Fletcher be appointed custodian of the new-building at a salary of $900. The same committee recommended that William Norman le night watchman, salary $00 a month; that Isouls Bunkmeyer, T. J. Gaynor and August lleisenberg be janitors, salaries $45 a month, and that Gus Kreuger be fireman at $50 a month. There were no objections to any of these appointments. The resignations of Clara Huder, Dora Harbison and Grace Murry as teachers in the public schools were received. The committie on buildings and grounds reported the vacation of the Gaston Block for school purposes, ami stated that provision had been made for the scholars attending the annex at High School No. 1. A portion of them have been sent to school No. 2, a portion to school No. 3 and the remainder are being taught in the house on the Ricketts property. Some time was taken in the discussion of the pad question. A special committee appointed for the purpose advised that a certain kind, a certain make, and a certain brand of tablet be adopted for use in the schools, and that other ktnds be prohibited. Mr. Apnel thought the report sweeping in Its provisions, so he objected on the grounds that the board could not dictate what kind and size of tablet should be used, and what firms should be patronized, as it would work an injury to other llrms and tend to create a monopoly. Some ihought with Mr. Appcl and some thought otherwise, so the whole matter ended undecldeJ. It will be settled later. When the reports from the committee having in charge the bids for supplies and flxtuies for the Manual Training rfchool building were called tor It was exnected that a fuss would result, but the members were all as lambs and not an objection was heard. The reports, however, were not parsed upon, being laid upon the table until next meeting. The committee on gas and electric-light fixtures recommended that the bid of Morris & MoCurdv on proposition cne be accepted. The bills, which were opened some time ago. are: Acme Gas Fixture Company, $1,421; Morris . McCurdy, $2,592.91; E. A. Sarran & Co.,, $1,899.73; Dayton Auxiliary Company, $2,75;!; Charles Meikle, $2,750.92. The committee on room supplies and school furniture recommended that the following bids be accepted: H. Lauter, $88 for 24 steps and 2 hatracks; Indianapolis Cabinet Company, $710.50 for 29 desks; Grand Itapids School Furniture Company, $1,825.5!) for :!95 combination recitation desks and 500 chair.; A. H. Andrews & Co.. $113 for ten movable blackboards and one curtain desk; Sander & Recker, $3,232.40 for furnishings, linings and sundries. Knew He AVhh A anted.
