At a special meeting of the state board of heaith the following minute was adopted : The state board of health, with profound and sincere sorrow, makes this record of the loss by death of I). W. Hand, JI. D.. its mem ber since 1872, and its president since 1,873. Though engaged in a large and increasing private and consul practice, Dr. Hand promptly and zealously accepted member ship in the board, and m his address at its first meeting took the position which he maintained steadily to liis death. "It re mains," said he, "for us, the representatives of the third state to adopt this wise plan of guarding the public health. To prove our fit ness for the task imposed, to it we must bring, not only the willingness to labor long and faithfully in acquiring information, but also to disseminate in every possible way the latest and best views of hygiene and of pro phylactic medicines." His wide and influ ential acquaintance with his professional brethren and representative men in all sta tions of life enabled him to bring to our aid fiom the beginning a powerful support, which has steadily increased and was largely instrumental in winning that popular confi dence which the board now has, and which was a source of pleasure and confori to him when failing health warned him that his work was nearly done. In the daily duty of the board, which now touches so many per sonal and public interests, and involves often varied and delicate Iquestions of duty and policy, Dr. Hand's knowledge of men and methods: his ready tact, courtesy and integrity never failed us. Even during the last five years, though suf fering constantly, and wilh increasing phy sical weakness and discouragement, Dr. Hand never faltered in his devotion to this part of his life work, but was as active, vigi lant and efficient up to within a few weeks of his death as ever before. His cheerful confidence and . courage, his gentle per sistence in meeting and surmounting obsta cles,, his zeal for ' knowledge, and his happy faculty for assimilating and using it; e above all his manly fortitude at the end, made his life in every respect an example of living, doing, enduring and winning rarely paralleled in the profession which he digni fied, honored and loved. We cannot express in this formal way the feeling of personal loss which oppresses us. Its weight is heavy and increasing. A memory of more thnh sixteen . years of intimate personal as sociation .- in .'which, on his side,' nothing has occurred to regret, In which our regard has increased to affection, our confi dence to absolute trust, caunot be told in words. That he knew it, it is consolation to believe. We offer to his widow and his chil dren this just tribute, inadequate but heart felt, to one who, in every relation of his busy life, was a noble and a gentle man. SINKS ANDJOE SPIEL. They Capture Soft Jobs at the Market and City Jail. President Hamm Distributes Committee Plums Among His Friends. Aid. Cullen Can Now Get Back at County Commissioner Boyd. Judge Burr Sends a Five- Year-Old Tough to the Re form School. When President ilanim called the ad journed meeting of the city council to order at 7:30 last night he wore a bright boutonniere and a pleasant smile. ;The oilier members were equally good-nat ured, and there ■ was' no outward evi dence of the. violent storm that racked the honorable body -Tuesday night. The recent unpleasantness cropped out a little, however, when President Hamm shortly afterwards presented his list of standing committees for the com ing year. " Aid. Sanborn arose and asked that the list of appointments be laid on the table for a while, so that the Republican members, who were not fully "onto them could examine the list before perfecting the organization. Aid. Yoerg objected to any delay, whereupon Mr. Sanborn became some what riled and moved that the matter be laid over until the next meeting. Aid. Gehan objected to any such course and moved to amend by firming th. appointments. This was but a red flag to the aggressive Republican member, who again took the floor. "If yon de sire to choke off all examination of the transactions here," he said, "why, go on!" With this outburst he subsided, and when a vote was takeu on Aid. Ge haifs amendment Mr. Sanborn's only supporters were Aid. Blom and Bickel. The original motion was then unani mously passed as amended, and Presi dent liamm's committee appointments, which were as follows, -stood con firmed: Ways and Means— Aid. Cullen, Gehan, Pratt. Claims and Accounts— Aid. Minea, Bock, Pratt, Cullen, Weber, Gehan, Melady. Fire Department— Aid. Gehan, Kavanagh, Sanborn, .Melady, Bock, Leithauser, Conley. Streets, Sewers and Bridges Aid. Yoerg, Cullen, Sanborn, Kavanngh, Gelian, Pratt, Bloiu. Taxes— Aid. Bickel, Yoerg, Sullivan. ' Printing— Aid." Minea, Weber, Blom. Police— Aid. Conlev, Yoerg, Blom, Me lady and president ofthe council. License— Aid. Kavanagh, Conley, Bock. Public Buildings, Ciiy Property, and Mar kets—Aid. Gehau. Cullen, Bock. Ordinances and -Public Accounts— Aid. Weber, Gehan, Minea. Gas and Water— Aid. Bock, Yoerg, Conley. Parks— Melady, Fischer, Conley, Bickel. Kavanagh, Cullen, Sullivan. Workhouse— Aid. Fischer, Minea, Pratt. r Legislation Aid. Sanborn. Minea, Leit hauser, Bickel, Kavanagh, Sullivan, Melady. To Represent the Common Council on tlie Joint Committee of Seven to Have Charge of the Xew Court House and City Hall— Aid. Cullen, Conley, Pratt. The election of a city market master was announced as the next business in order and the president appointed tell ers to conduct a secret ballot. Before a vote was taken Aid. Yoerg withdrew from nomination the name of Elmer E. Bock, on that gentleman's request. The first ballot resulted in the re-election of Noah Sinks, who received eleven votes asainst two for August Nelson. The result occasioned no * surprise,* the elec tion of . Mr. Sinks-h aving apparently been . aereed upon previously. Aid. Bock was the only member of the coun cil who appeared dissatisfied, and he had nothing to say. " On motion of Aid. Leithauser, Joseph Spiel was unani mously re-elected city jailer. Routine business was taken up and several communications from Mayor Smith were presented, the first asking con firmation of the appointment of Timothy Costello to the regular police force, vice Frank Euzieka, suspended. The council has also asked to take ac tion towards the relief of the Johns town sufferers, and, after considerable discussion, the matter was referred to the committee on ways and means for a report. A veto of Aid. Fisher's Saturday half-holiday resolution, in the interests of city laborers, caused •no little dis cussion. Mayor Smith, on the advice of Corporation Attorney Murray, held that the city had no authority under its charter to establish legal holidays or appropriate money for work actually performed, but this did not deter Aid. Fischer from moving the passage of the measure over the veto. The statement by Aid. Cuilen that he was ashamed to find his vole recorded in favor of the ordinance on its previous passage, called out a lively debate between that gentleman and Mr. Fischer. With 787 employes, Aid. Cullen explained, the half-holiday each week would make a difference of 8650 per week or $23,233 a year, and he did not believe the city could afford it, even were the ordinance legal. Aid. Fischer thought, that the employment of fifty more laboring men,, "which the half-holiday • would necessitate, was a point in favor of his bill. Aid. Gehau couldn't see why Mr. Fischer should champion such a measure when it was clearly unconsti tutional. * "Mr. "Fischer's action," he said, "is clearly for political effect and should be discouraged." : His motion to pass over the mayor's veto was "dis couraged" by almost a unanimous vote. The petition of Health I Commissioner Hoyt, asking for an additional compen sation of 810 per ' month to Inspector A. E. Robertson, that he might keep a horse and better cover the Tenth and Eleventh wards, was: laid upon the table. "We have been increasing the salary list of the health. department right along," said Aid. Yoerg, "and I think it is about time to stop." The long-discussed proposed sewer on Tem perance street, between Norris and Thirteenth streets, was finally or dered by a vote of fifteen to one. The vexatious question of regulating hotel runners at the union depot was again brought up on resolu tions by Aids. Conley and Fisher, and an ordinance granting" them, privileges on the sidewalk by Aid. Fischer. The ordinance passed after considerable dis cussion. Ordinances ostensibly in the interests of the North American Tele graph company, the St. Paul Gas Light company - and the American District Telegraph company, were presented asking for franchises to construct electric subways in the streets of the city on the same terms as are asked by the Northwestern Telephone company. It was apparently a scheme backed by the Dorsett Conduit compauy to shut out the telephone company, aWI was referred to the committee on Greets without discussion. Au ordinance was passed authorizing the proper city- authorities to negotiate city bonus for bridge purposes to the amount of $34,000. On a resolution by Aid. Fischer,the salaries of -the city dog catchers were increased from $50 to $70 per month. A motion by Aid. Yoerg, ' granting President Hamm a four-months leave . of ohsence to make a trip to Europe, was unani mously passed. • The collection and dis posal of city garbage, and the bids of the Merz company and the St. Paul Sanitation company, were brought up by the special com mittee for disposal, when ■: tke whole matter was made a special order for an adjourned meeting at 7:30 to-night. YOUNG, BUT TOUGH. A"', Four- Year-Old Incorrigible Sent, to the Reform School. Probably the most youthful vagabond ever arrrigned in the municipal'; court came up . before Judge Cory yesterday in ; the : person \ of ' George Morehead, a I bright little } five-year-old, ; whose "par-. THE SAINTS PAUL DAILY -GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 1889. ents live near the corner of Sixth and Pine- streets. The little ■ fellow's per versions has caused the police and his , parents no end of trouble, and he , has slept in every police station in the city. The urchin will not live at home, and during the past year has been re peatedly picked up on the streets at night aud kindly taken to some one of the stations for shelter. Then he would give a fictitious name, sometimes one and sometimes another, and toll a pitiful story of woo that not infre quently '. brought tears to the eyes of the good-natured coppers, who gathered around him. Sometimes ho had been driven from home by heartless parents because he could not bring home pen nies enough when sent out upon the streets to beg. Another time his par ents bad died and left him without a relative or friend in the world, and he had wandered about the city lor days, with only dry goods boxes to shelter, him, and such food as lie could pick up. And again he had been brought to the city and deserted by his parents at the union depot, These stories were many and varied, and were told with such open frankness, that no one could listen to him, gazing upon his round sweet face and into his largo lus trous eyes, without taking ohiin out through pity to the nearest restaur ant and assisting him to store away a good supper beneath his short round about. After bringing him back the best overcoats in the station were in variably turned over to his comfort, and when the little rascal curled up in a corner on them and went to sleep, lie was always watched over with . the greatest care, by a crowd of officers, whose emotions were mingled pity and admiration, while the dimples gathered and disappeared on his fat, round cheeks, and smiles played around his pretty mouth as he dreamed the reali zation of his childish fancies. But in the morning, .or before, SUme one always put in an appearance at the station in search of him and the little romancer would be hustled away in disgrace. The police, however, finally got "onto" his pipe stories, in one station after another, and.be was yesterday arrested and taken before the court. After bearing the case, Judge Burr decided that the reform school was the best place for him, and referred him to the district court, with a recom mendation to that effect. Five Italian fruit peddlers were complained of by one of their nationality, who is fortunate to own a store, for obstructing the streets with their carts. They will be tried to-day. Harry Bickel, who suc ceeded in having his name on the docket changed to "Charles Sweet," was ar raigned for fast driving, the charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct having been stricken out, and was granted a continuance until Saturday afternoon under $25 bail. Jones," his less fortunate companion, was fined *"*__. Martin Christianson, the milk carrier accused of bastardy by Agnes Johnson, had his case continued until Monday under $500 bail. A. J. Ecklund and Peter Nelson, for fighting at a Turner hall dance, will be tried to-day. PREPARING FOR TROUBLE. . Three Companies of the First Regiment Engage in Riot Drill. Companies C, D and E of the First regiment practiced their street . riot drill, on Sixth street, College and Sum mit avenues last night. There was an extraordinary attendance at drill, and the three companies made a good show ing, has been two years since any of the state militia companies have exercised this unique drill and riot evolutions, and consequently the privates were unskilled iii their company movements, and the officers, who had also grown rnsty, discussed the features of the drill while the companies were forming in line in the armory— 8 to 9 o'clock. The drill is not only new to many, but quite novel in its design to repel mob attack and force crowded streets and effect a general evacuation when necessary. Street riot tactics are combina tions of Upton's company and battalion evolutions, . and, once understood by officers and' men, are easily executed. The three com panies marched out of the armory in fours, -and, forming company front across the street, fell into fours left and marched up Sixth street to Col lege avenue. Here the three commands were divided into six companies, and the first liemtenants acted, as junior captains of the three divisions into which the six companies were merged. The first movement was along College avenue with the supposition that that street was crowded with a mass of riot ing people. The division executed such evolutions that, when the crowd is reached, the militia moves division front aguinst the mob. Immediately to its rear two other divisions inarch in fours on the right and left sides of the street, and following that at company distance is the rear division in division front. The left four of the right company of the rear division is broken, allowing space of one four through the center of the column for the passage of messengers, officers, etc. In marching in this order the guide is always center. Officers and file closers of the front division are al ways in the rear of the line, while 'those in the rear division march in front in "flanked column order;" all officers and file closers are on the inside. The strength of a force of militiamen arranged in this order is ap parent as against mob violence; and in the crowd should break the line of the first division, all rioters, the moment they crossed it, would be surrounded and penned. The members of the na tional sruard are greatly interested in these drills, and it is very probable that more of them will be ordered. LINKED LOVE. Nuptials of Miss Eva Estelle Her sey and Daniel A. Mudge. Miss Eva Estelle Hersey, daughter of Col. and Mrs. R. F. Hersey, was mar ried yesterday afternoon at 4:30 to Daniel A. Mudge, of Chicago, Kt. Rev. M. S. Gilbert performing the ceremony. The ushers were Messrs. Hewett, of St. Paul, and Langdon, of Minneapolis. Bridesmaids were dispensed with, the wedding being announced as a r very quiet affair. The best man was Regi nald Barclay.of New York,an old friend of the groom. The bridal costume was a symphony in white royale silk with tulle ruching. showing to the best ad vantage the beauty of tho bride. The ladies present at the ceremony were elegantly attired and the varied color*** ing of the ; different costumes, whether by accident or design, blended perfectly with the draping of ths breakfast and reception rooms, in the arrangement of which great care and much artistic taste had evidently been exercised. After the ceremony, a reception was held, to which 800 invitations had been issued. Owing to the rain, however, the attendance was somewhat dimin ished, though fully 500 were present during the hours of 5 ; aud 10 o'clock. Among the guests were Ex-Senator Sabin, Mr. and Mrs. George It. Finch, Mr. and Mrs. Auerbauch, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. Hause, Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Punnet., Messrs. Hewett, Langdon, , Barclay, Finch, Brown and Fenwich, and Mesdames Stout, Shep herd, De Coster, Brown and many oth ers, the four hundred having turned out en masse for the occasion. The presents received occupied an entire apartment, and comprised almost every, imaginable article in " silver and cut glass, besides a large assortment of dia monds and jevVelry of all kinds suffi- ■ cient to tax the capacity of the most ex-* pansive jewel case.

Affixing of Initials That Will Put Some in Good Posi- ._ tions. Young Ideas, Pupils of St. Paul Schools, Exhibit Their Handwork. It Shows the Development of Original Ideas Under - Proper Care. ._ The closing days of a college course otherwise known as commencement days— constitute the brightest period in the life of a collegian, lt is always with the most loving remembrances that graduates recall the various scenes and incidents of commencement, and especially of the last and greatest day— the "commencement day." There has been the crowded chapel or auditorium, filled with friends, who have met to pay tribute to the . last efforts of the mem bers of the graduating class. Such a day as this came to the ten gradu ates of Hamline university yesterday, and it was a day of gladness and joy. to a well-deserving class. At 2 o'clock the university chapel rapidly filled with students and their friends, despite the threatening clouds which, later in the day, brought rain. The chapel never looked prettier. Mosses, ferns and wild flowers had been artistically used iv the decorations with an un sparing hand, and the beauty of the scene was greatly enhanced by the pretty class colors, which had been used in draping the rostrum." Upon the wall, at the rear end of the platform, was the class motto, "Esse quani vid eri." The immense audience was silent as the ten graduates passed in and took seats to the right of the rostrum. Upon the dais sat the members. of the faculty. Bishop Fitzgerald, Dr. Chaffee and other mem bers of the board of trustees. The handsome programmes which had been scattered through the audience, an nounced the first speaker • after the opening piece of music and prayer by Dr. Gilbert to be E. H. Ellsworth. His oration was on "William Pitt."' It was a short, eulogistic sketch of Pitt's life, and was well rendered. Indeed, Mr. Ellsworth struck the keynote for one of the most successful commencement programmes ever given at Hamline. Mis delivery, while slow, was forcible and distinct. Mrs. Mary L. Bennett, attired in an empress gown of white material, was the second speaker. Her essay was "Matthew Ar nold as a Critic." The paper was brief, but well written. W. H. Morgan followed, and discussed in a vigorous style "The Morrow of Creeds." His oration showed that his subject had been much thought upon and -was well; understood. He spoke of the rise and. fall of religious creeds, pointing out' their faults and their virtues, His clos ing words were of the future and the' simpfe creed which shall brighten it— a creed springing from the truths of the Bible and of science. , At the announcement of an essay on the "Evolution of the Novel" many be came expectant and looked for its reader, Miss Mabie Hanson, who walked to the platform and read an 'es.ay which was received with great interest and pleasure. Miss Ranson was" tastily attired in a white Henrietta costume. •'■'.} "The Perils and - * Safeguards of the American People" were dealt with by Miss Essie Bushnell' -She wore a 'blue empire gown with a lace overdress and a bunch of Marechal Neil roses. The essay was of a political nature, and many of the political problems were quite warmly discussed. W. N. Squire delivered an oration upon "Hamilton and the Constitution." Mr. Squire is a warm admirer of Hamil ton, and eulogized him as a statesman and a financier. "Milton and English Liberty," was an oration of pleasing thought and was well delivered by the president of the class— S. F. Kerfoot. He • spoke feel ingly and earnestly of the great in fluence that this scholar had upon the English people. Milton's life was fit tingly and graphically portrayed. One of the most charming participants of the day was Miss* Maggie Share, who was attired in a costume of pure white, with point lace trimming. Her essay was upon the "Influence of Commerce on English Civilization," and in style of writing and reading was equal to those given previously. "Progressive Japan," or more par ticularly "The Japanese Problem," was discussed by C. : H. Slocum. . He spoke of the conquest of Christianity over Paganism, and thought that iv the natural course of events Japan would have a bright future. The final speaker of the day was Miss Martha Clark, who wore a direetoire costume of cream col ored faille Francaise. Her production was an oration upon that distinguished man, "John Bright." lt was eulogistic and highly and fittingly complimentary to that grand man. At the close of these exercises the degrees were con ferred by President G. H. Bridgman. The decree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon E. H. Ells, S. F. Ker foot and W. 11. Morgan, and the degree of Bachelor of Science upon Mary L. Bennett, Esther M. Bushnell, Martha Clark, Mabel Ranson, Margaret Share, CM. Slocum and VV. N. Squire. Thus ended a college career at Hamline of a class which has always borue a reputa tion of having a high scholarship. Already many have chosen their voca tion in life. Messrs. Morgan and Ker foot have been preachers of the Gospel, and after a short theological course in the East, will pursue this calling. Mr. Slocum enters the banking business at Norwood and Mr. Ellswoitn talks of a post graduate in the East, with a vie of teaching. Mr. Squire, already a teacher of some experi ence, will continue in this line of work. Misses Bennett and Ranson will take positions as teachers this fall. Miss Martha Clark leaves a week from to-day for a summer's visit in Europe, Misses Shaw and Bushnell look for ward to a quiet home life for . the pres ent. The board of trustees at their ses sion Wednesday conferred the ' follow ing degrees .which were announced yesterday by Dr. Bridgman, master of arts. F. W. Hart. A. B. '86 class; L. A. Willsey, A. 8., '86; E. P. Robertson, A. 8. '85 and A. Z. Drew, A. 8., '86. The honorary degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon Bishop J. N. Fitz gerald, D. D.; and Rev. Dr. S. F.

'.'■•_, , Tho exhibition of work done In St. Paul's schools, which opened yesterday in the chamber of commerce, was vis ited by. a large number of people. The drawing, - designing and mechanical work is most creditable both to pupils and teachers, and forms a series of -ft dies of very * great Interest? to all, showing as it does the development of a certain idea : under proper care and direction in - the mind of V youth. Here is shown the whole series of productions from the crude modeling and drawing of the first and second year pupils to the bold artistic designs,'.cabi net work and wood carving of the senior high school class ana r manual i training school. - The juvenile pupil starts out with the study of form. The idea of form is first - brought out in his young mind by. means of different trlometric solids and tablets; arrangement of sticks and colored pipers. From these he is • taught to make with his fingers the forms before him, using- plastic clay, scissors and paper, etc., for this pur pose. . The different colors are taught him, and blackboard outline drawing is at a later date instilled into his mind. When the idea of . form has taken def inite shape, its application is taught. At first drawing books with the simp lest of copies are used to train the fin gers into' expressing the ideas taking shape into the mind. Clay and paper modeling and blackboard sketching are advanced a step, and the use of the brush in applying color to the varied forms on paper is taught. For several years the ideas developed by these are fostered in the mind of the pupil, and as his hand becomes more dexterous, his eye . more appreciative of ' proportion, and his mind grasps more definitely the general form of things, the studies become more advanced, the drawings to be copied more intricate, the models to be . made more elaborate. In the sixth year of the course geometry is ap plied to his ' work. The application . of the problems he is just beginning to puzzle over is shown him by* means of practical illustration. The fol lowing year the rudimentary prin ciples of design are instilled and the combination of colors in correct and artistic juxtaposition is taught. Drawing to scale also receives attention,' and the following year the copy is discarded and his mind is taught to look to nature as a guide. Leaf and flower forms, their nature and treat ment in ornamentation, conventional plant and animal form in design are rapidly developed by the use of the ob jects themselves, combined with plaster casts of them in conventionalized form as copies. The manual training school also takes hold of the pupil, teaching him how to make working drawings, projec tion, the use of tools, carpentry, joinery and the elements of wood carving. Per : spective, light and shade, the elements . of machine construction,turning.mould , ihgand other technical work is now taught in the manual training school, ; while the high school takes tip outline > drawing from models and casts and j plant forms from nature. The three fol • lowing years the woodwork and machine ■ construction are thoroughly taught, I wbfle the elements of building construe*: | tion receive considerable attention. The : h;gh school goes on from outline draw ; ing.'to light and shade work in r crayons; i from this to monotint work and water j color drawing, . which are taught . by ! stages until the pupil surprises himself • by, 1 'finding he/ can design . something I beautiful and useful. '■'■'•'•■-". " j : The different stages of the work | were all shown by the ■.- actual ! drawings and models made in the i schools.",; From the 'simple: models* and; ! drawings, the production, of the minds while yet crude, to the elaborate and ar tistic designs of those in whom the con structive and artistic idea is highly de veloped, all are here and form a study ofthe most interesting description. The work of some of the lii_rh school pupils shows talent of a high nature.' Miss Gautier, who teaches tlie .lasses in the • high school, explains her methods in a most interesting way, and shows her self a mott efficient teacher by the fact that all drawing is taught from the round, and design is left entirely to the mind of the pupil, helped only by sug gestions from her. The water color painting, done rapidly from real flow ers, shows in many instances great abil ity. Miss Laug'hlin has charge of the entire work in the * schools, and her success as a teacher is here most forcibly demonstrated. Mr. Ben nett, who has the manual training school under his care, has succeeded in ; developing the construction idea most remaikably in the minds of his pupils. From their first beginnings in the way ; of cutting and boring wood to their final triumphant achievements in the way of finely carved panels, perfect dovetail joints, a large boat, and a polished and glazed hard wood cabinet, every step in the course is shown, not by picked work, but by thaUof every pupil. One very interesting phase of the de velopment of the artistic idea is shown in a volume of original drawings made by very young pupils to illustrate a given subject , or proposition. For in stance, the ■: theorem, nine minus one equals twice four and one over, is illus trated in the following ingenious man. . ncr by one pupil. Nine little children are shown, eight of them seated in two sets of four or two swings.Jiind one stand ing by with a pocket-handkerchief, in his hand. : The drawing is of the crudest description, but the idea is there. Many others of a similar nature are shown, and form a most amusing series. But the work that is most at tractive is that of the senior class in the high school. Several drawings in sepia are shown, one especially calling for notice; it is a head, drawn trdm a cast, and is a perfect piece of light arid shade work. The original designs for wallpapers, cretonnes, . chintzes and oilcloths are worthy of careful attention, and show the result of the principle in whicii all the work in the schools is • conducted, that of developing original j ity in the pupil. Practice in original 1 drawing and painting teaches a child infinitely more than mere copying. The , teachers aim at making of their young : charges artists, not merely copyists. In ; the manual training school the same principle is adhered to, and a boy can I spread his imagination in wood carving I aud moulding just as much as he likes. ; A Visit to this exhibition is a study in ! psychology, lt is also the best exempli fication of the success of the uniform pjihcinle .on which the pupils are taught. ___________ 1 ;S:-:i Mysteries Cleared "Op.
