NEW YORK, Feb. L's.—The-^djourn
«?d meeting of the Intercollegiate As
sociation of Amateur Athletes of the
United states held today at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, anil some important
changes in the rules and constitution
in regard to amateurism and scholar
ship of men competing in interstate
contests were adopted.
The matter of the amateur's scholar
ship in the Institution to which he be
long-*, and which he represents in
contests, was brought up. and the cun-
Btituticn was changed so as to forbid
a man who has lost his class standing
for any reason to compete in inter
collegiate sports.
Another weeping change was the di
vorcing «'l bicycling from the track
contests, and Ihe formation of a sepa
rate association for the controlling of
Intercollegiate bicycle racing.
Tin- executive committee of the as
sociation met in advance of the gen
eral meeting and reconsidered its ac
t m of Friday in regard to the recom
mendation to be made for changes In
rules. On Friday night certain recom
mendatlons made by Harvard and
others made by the University of
Pennsylvania, were voted down in the
j lint meeting of the executive com
mittee this afternoon. The two uni
versities combined on a compromise
: mendment which was passed. The
tdment as adopted reads:
A student shall be allowed to compete at
the Intercollegiate uniting four times, and no
more. This applies to all departments, med
ian school, academy, etc. If a
student has represented a cjllege in any in
tercollegiate track meeting In which more
than three colleges participate and has won
a first er Becond place in any event, he shall
not be eligible to represent any other college
he may afterwards attend in the intercollegi
ate association until he shall have attended
sin-h college a full calendar year. This
not to be retroactive, but af
fi'i 'ting only those who enter college after the
date of the adoption of this amendment."
CONCESSIONS MADE.
The proposition made on Friday
night' tn bar for a year a man coming
from a preparatory school, who has
won a place In intercollegiate or open
meet, was amended in the committee
and later in the general meeting so as
nol to disbar the inierscholastic win
ner, but only those who have taken
part in outside athletic contests and
won honors so as to make them desir
able acquisitions to the college ath
letic managers.
The constitution was also amended
E0 as to provide- for a committee cf
three graduates as an advisory com
mittee, and also of a faculty com
mittee of five members of the faculties
of the five colleges or universities mak
ing the highest scores at previous an
nual field meetings each year. The
faculty committee was made the court
of final appear en all matters of eligi
bility for competition.

FOUR BOXES DID IT.
Iteniarkable Snceeaa of a New Pile
Cure.
People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and inconven
ience of that common disorder, piles,
will look with scepticism upon the
claims; of the makers of the new dis
covery for ;i cure of all forms of piles
known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraorul
nary cures performed by this remedy
:;re such as to warrant the investiga"
tion of any sufferer. As a case in point
fue i. Ilowing letter speaks for itself:
Mr. Henry Thomas of sub-station No.
8, Hosuck Aye., Columbus, Ohio, writes
ms follows:
Pyfkmld Drug Co.:
Gentlemen:— I want you to use my
name if it will be of any use to you. I
was so bad with piles that I lost work
on that account. Nothing helped me.
1 read in Cincinnati of the many cures
of piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and
I wer.t to a drug s^ore and asked for
11. The drug clerk told me that he had
something else that he thought was
better, but I told him that I wanted to
try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
1 tried another,- and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, making
four in all. lam now completely cured
Have not a trace of piles and I had
suffered for four years with the worst
kind of protruding piles.
1 suffered death from piles, but I
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. I have recom
mended it to several of my friends and
am thankful to be able to write you
what good the remedy has done me."
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium,
cocaine or mineral poison of any kind,
and because It is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured In a sur
prisingly short time and with no incon
venience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by
druggists at 50 cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is well
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa
tion is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectually remove the cos
tive condition. Price of Pills is 25 cents
per package.

Mich., for little book on cause and cure
of piles; sent by mail fret.
a par with any athletic club in the middle !
West.
It was decided to put in a swimming tank,
25x70, ou the £ame level with the club gym
nasium, and the matter of constructing a
bowling alley was left in the hands of a
committee to be appointed by President Egan.
The meeting was a representative one of
the dub's members, and all were agreed that
such a Etep would be warranted from the
support which had been given the club In the
past by the busimss men of the city.
The members were very enthusiastic over
the prospects of having a sma'l lake located
in the building, and the management were
assured that such a di-parture would easily
double the membership of the club.
President Egan explained that the tank
would be the largest in the West.
Louis Nash made v short talk, in which he
asserted that the business men of the city
had taken a lively Interest In the club. It was,
i he thought, a good advertisement for St.
j Paul. In so much as It had been so success
ful In all its ventures aud its efforts to glvo
the public pure athletic sport. Further than
t'.is, as the crab was the only one that had
been put on a firm basis West of Chicago for
I a number of years, Its success was assured,
I as It had already become firmly established
with the people of St. Paul. Mr. Nash spoke
cordially of the efforts of both President Egan i.
and Secretary Grathwol to elevate sport in
the city, and of their small beginnings with
tho organization, which wa-s~j?erfected in 1597.
] John J. Dwyer followed Mr". Nash with an
| assurance of support from the business men. j
I J. J. MoCafferty and Judge Lewis both sent i
| letters of regret at not being able to attend i
the meeting, but said that any movement j
that was made by the club to increase its
influence, would have their support.
It is the intention of the club to hold daly
swimmlng classes, under the direction of a
competent teacher.
j Before adjourning President Egan stated
lhat he would announce the appointment of
the committee to decide whether the bowline;
alley should be put in. The committee will
also act as a recruiting committee to secure
new members to make the additional expendi
tures practical from a financial point,of view.

TWEXTV-POIR-HOIR RACE.
First Bieyele Event of the Sort In
San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2o.— The first twen- j
ty-fcur-hour bicycle race ever held on tho ]
Pacific coast began tonight at the Mechanics'
pa\ ilion. with eighteen starters at the tape. '
The racers include all the riders who rode in j
the recent six-day race, with the exception
of Gimm, who is still confined to his room,
suffering from a very mysterious malady. In l
addition to the six-day race men are two Ca!- ;
lfornlans of note, namely, William G. Fur- i
man. of Los Angeles, and Charles Kraft, the
champion road rider of the Pacific coast, '
both of whom are members of the Bay City
Wheelmen, of this city.
The pavilion was crowded tonight, as the
twenty-four-hour raca was looked upon to
! be the crowning feature of the two weeks of
indoor racing. Waller and Chapman were the !
early favorites with those making bets.
M'LEOD WILL MEET THEM.
Wasit* a Hatch With Either Farmer
ECnrnH or Wittmer.
"There has-been so much talk about a match
between Farmer Burns and myself," say 3
Dan McLeod, "that I will state that I am
willing and anxious to meet Burns for any
amount of money he can raise up to $5,000,
or I will wrestle, him for a purse or for the
gate receipt*-, or for nothing.
"When Burns beat me, the referee gave
me the worst cf it, and he knows it, and if '
he thinks he can beat me, just let him come
en and try. I am willing to take him on
any time he says. 1 am also willing to
wrestle Charles Wittmer, of Cincinnati, any
time he wants to match me. He also can find
plenty of money behind me In case he wants
to make same money, or wants any of my
E.-.me."

CHANGE TBE NORMALS

THINKS SOME IMPROVEMENTS
CAN BE MADE
GOV. LIND MADE SHORT TALK
He Says That He Ih a Friend ot the
NormnlK, and Only WantN to See
Tlieni Improved— —No Star Cham

Morey Now Wants Even the I'rrn.
idt-iilH to Attend.
For the first time in several years
the state normal school board held a
meeting yesterday that w as n>t of a
star chamber nature. Gov. Lind's live
new appointees bein»"; in- the majority
there was no chance- for the old mem
bers of the board to perDatu.ite any of
the eld star chamber tiadltlons of the
board, where business of a public na
ture was under discussion.
There was no inclination on the part
of the new membe.-s to shield any
thing from publicity, and it being the
initial meeting the hesi ot feeling exist
ed and several of the inembj.-s greeted
each other for the first time. The board
is Roing to make some changes In the
normals and the process began before
the board adjourned. It will probably
not be completed until there is a com
plete revision of the course of studj
in these schools.
Preliminary steps were taken to put
this in effect and a committee consist
ing of Supt. Lewis. W. i>. Hammond,
St. James, and E. J. Phelps. St. Paul,
were appointed to confer with the pres
idents of the Winona and Mankato
schools with a view- to bringing about
the desired changes.
The appointment of the committee
was prompted by a resolution offered
by Supt Lewis, and a short talk by
Gov. Lind, who expressed himself \ery
candidly upon the subject.
Supt, Lewis' resolution provided for
the abolishment of the C classes at the
Winona and Mankato institutions from
date, except those already entered, and
the discontinuance of the B classes of ,
both schools after Sept. 1, 1900. Mr.
Lewis prefaced his resolution with a
preamble to the effect that the acad
emic work done in the two schools was
duplicated in the seventh and eighth
grades of the grammer schools, and the
207 high schools of the state.
Mr. Phelps at first understood Supt.
Lewis' resolutions to cut out the ele
mentary feature of the normal work
in its entirety. Supt. Lewis explained
that this was not the case, as it was
merely intended to raise the standard
of admission to these schools and in
crease their usefulness. It was im
possible to get an education and a pro
fessional scholastic training at the
same time. Supt. Lewis said that, In
his opinion, the normal school should
be supplementary to the high school,
and that a person entering the normal
school with the intention of taking up
teaching as a profession should have
as a basis a good grammar and high
school education. Being thus equip
ped, except for a review of the instruc
tion given in the grammar and high
schools, the prospective teacher could
give all of his or her time to the study
of child training and its kindred sub
jects.
Gov. Llnd spoke cordially of the
normal schools and said if any false
impression had gained circulation that
he was not a friend to the normals,
he hoped it would not go far. The
suggestions made in his message to
the legislature had been made with the
welfare of the schools at heart. He
expressed himself as thoroughly In
sympathy with the change proposed
by Supt. Lewis, and said the state
could not afford to make any duplica
tion in_ any part of its school system
which was so near the hearts of the
people.
After hearing Gov. Lind's address,
the subject was dropped and the com
mittee authorized to investigate and
make a report to President Ankeny
at an early date. A special meeting
of the board will be called juat as soon
as the committee has completed its
labors.
The proposed change only applies to
the two normals in the southern part
of the state, as the same conditions are
not applicable to the Moorhead and
St. Cloud Institutions, as the latter are
not backed up by such a bailiwick dt
high schools as are located around
Mankato and Winona, an older and
more populated part of Minnesota.
A suggestion was made by Director
Morey that the presidents of the four
schools be Invited to sit with the board
during its meetings. The matter, with
the revision of the rules of the board,
was referred to a special committee
on rules, consisting of Messrs Ankeny,
Phelps and Lewis.
A resolution abolishing "elementary
diplomas," except for the present se
nior class in that department, was fa
vorably regarded and referred to the
first committee appointed to investi
gate the feasibility of making a change
in the course.
An extra science teacher for the
Moorhead normal was authorized for
the spring term. Director Nye was
elected treasurer of -the institution at
Moorhead.
A SENATOR'S WIFE
When Suffering With Acute Ca
tarrh Used Pe-ru-na "With
Good Results.
Washington, D. C, March 20, 1898.
184S Wyoming Avenue.
The Pe-ru-na Drug M'fg Co., Colum
bus, Ohio:
Gentlemen— The sample bottle of Fe
i-u-na came when I was suffering with
a cold and I used it with good results.
Very sincerely,
Mrs. F. E. Warren.
A ccld is acute catarrh. Too few
people seen, to be aware of this. If a
cold is neglected It will soon become
chronic catarrh. Although a cold is
rarely fatal, yet it is the most produc
tive source of incurable disease that is
known to the medical profession. At
least one-third of the deaths in the
United States are easily traced to the
effects of cold.
In perhaps no other particular are
the masses of the people so recklessly
neglectful of their own interests as in
the matter of catching cold. Not only
do the great majority fail to prop
erly provide themselves with suffi
ciently warm clothing, but when a
slight cough or hawking or running at
the nose warns them a cold has been
contracted, little or no attention is paid
to It. There are, comparatively, so
few pecple who regard a cold as of
sufficient consequence to require
prompt and efficient medical treatment,
that not only is the death rate of the
Northern States increased one-half
thereby, but our land is swarming with
invalids and half-sick people as a direct
consequence of neglected colds. Pe-ru
na is equally valuable to prevent, to
cure, and to entirely remove the effects
of a cold. No family, especially at this
season of the year, ought to be without
this excellent preventive and cure for
that most insidious, everpresent, dis
ease-breeding malady called a cold.
Dr. Hartman has written a book en
titled "Health and Beauty" especially
.for women. It treats exclusively of the
phases of catarrh most common to
women. It will be sent free by address
ing Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
Sellna Sticks to It.
At special term yesterday Judge Otis took
under advisement a motion of the plaintiff
to set aside the former order of the court
denying an application for the settlement of
the p.roposEd case In the case of Selna Glewett
vs. the House of the Good Shepherd.
An application of the defendants for a new
trial in the case of Martin Weiser vs. the
city was heard and submitted.
A, motion of Jared Howe to be allowed to
offset his claim against his note In the mat
ter of the Bank of Minnesota assignment was
taken under consideration.

There seems' ttttle reasm to doubt
that tlie state prison expense account
next year will show up well beside Its
revenue.
The reason 'for the belief thus ex
pressed is to be found In the recent
designation by the board of prices at
which it shall sell twine during the
present year. The prison people bought
a lot of sisal and manilla some- time
before the recent rise in the prices of
the fibres from which the modern
binding twine is made, but It does not
necessarily follow that the farmers of
Minnesota are to reap the benefit of
the bargain thus sharply made.
It has befn estimated by men who
are in a position to be familiar with the
workings of the state -prison twine
plant, that with its present stock the
institution could continue to turn out
good manilla and sisal fibre at a cost
.°.£.- 6% t0 7 C6nts a Pound, instead of
lifting the price merely because, since
the prison management laid in its
stock, the twine .trust had "bulled"
ihe market till it gave the prison man
agers not only a margin of profit over
its cost of production, but a margin of
discount against the current quotations
of the trust. The Moorhead News
prints the following:
To the Honorable Board of Managers of the
Minnesota State Prison-Gentlemen* The un
r^f,» Bn h farraers and consumers of binding
SS? 'JESS!? protest a « ainßt the J»* ic e rules
hnflv fl ICns , made b >" y° ur honorable
body for the sale of binding twine to farm-
We make this our protest for the reason
| tnat we consider said rules a gross discrim
ination against farmers and In favor of deal
ers inasmuch as it compels farmers to order
their twine at a time when they are hardly
cone seeding, and cannot possibly know how
much twine they will need, and because it
also compels fanners to lay out cash for
twine, at least three months before they
have any use for it. as In every locality like
our own here, where we are all small farm
ers, needing but from 100 to 200 pounds each,
it will be impossible to take advantage of the
rules regulating the sale of twine In carload
lots; while dealers are given the privilege
to order at any time up to harvest, as they
see and judge they can have sale for twine
and at the same time get their twine on
credit.
In regard to the price of twine we wish to
say, that as far as we know, there is no rea
son why the price of twine should be any
higher than last y«ar, and that if it shall be
made the rule and custom for the state pris
on board, to keep up the price of twine to
the market price, the trust and machine
companies will see to it that such market
price shall come up to its old-tlra* standard
and the Intent and purpose of tho legislature
and the law, establishing tho twine Industry
in the state prison will be entirely defeated;
said intent and purpose being, as we have al
ways understood It. to furnish work for
the prisoners, to furnish twine to the farmers
at cost, and thereby stand between and pro
tect them from the greed and combinations
of the twine trust and dealers.

The Otter Tail county Populists gave
Gov. Lind an unqualified indorsement
Wednesday, after electing B? F. Part
ridge, president; Judge E. Frankberg, .
secretary; S. Folkedal, assistant secre
tary, and H. P. Bjorge treasurer. The
resolutions were:
The Otter Tail County People's Party
league at its third annual meeting renews
its loyalty to the principles of the People's
party national platform adopted at St.
Louis in 1896, and the state platform of 1898,
on which was eletted the governor of the
srtate, the Hon. John Llnd, who, in his Inaug
ural speech, recommended each and every one
of the reforms advocated in the resolutions
adopted at our last annual meeting.
Believing that the principles of the Peo
pie's party will ultimately triumph, we call
upon all patriotic citizens to stand unitedly
together in support of the same and of the
following resolutions:
1. Inasmuch as our present representative
form of government opens the door for a class
rule coupled with outrageous abuses of th 6
constitutional rights and liberties of the com
mon people, we demand the adoption of ttia
Initiative and referendum system of law mak
ing, without which "a government of the
people, by the people and for the people"
eventually will "parish from the earth."
2. "We are unalterably opposed to the ef
forts being made In our present Republican
congress to retire the government green
backs, and for imposing on the American peo.
pie, .-against their expressed wishes, the gold
standard, and we demand that all money
•-hall be issued direct by the government,
without the intervention of banks and other
corporations.
3. In view of the well established fact that
our "government derives its powers from the
consent of the governed." we deplore and re.
gret that our late victorious war with Spain,
which began for the humanitarian purpos*
of aiding the people of Cuba to obtain their
freedom, has culminated In a devastating war
of conquest and opr>res.-?lon against the liber
ty-loving people of the Philippine islands, we
demand that the American forces be with
drawn as soon as possible, and that the po
litical independence of the people of those
islands shall be recognized by pur govern
ment.
4. We most respectfully call the people's
attention to the fact that our anti-trust laws
on the statute book of the nation are flagrant
ly violated with the apparent consent of the
party in power, and we demand that steps at
once be taken for the rigid enforcement ot
the said laws.
5. We demand the adoption of a constitu
tional amendment for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the people,
and we call the attention of all fellow Popu
lists to the encouraging fact that the present
legislature of Minnesota and other states have
indorsed this original Populist doctrine.
6. Since the spirit and alms of the People's
party are supported by and in harmony with
the true Christian principles of co-operation,
we hall with dellght,""as a sign of a better day
coming, the formation of co-operative asso
ciations in the land. Co-operation, In contra,
distinction to competition, must in the future
be recognized by all progressive Christian
people as the dynamic force in the Indus-trial
and political life of a nation; and recognlz.
in,g this self-evident, truth we pledge our best
Influence and moral support to all co-operatlv6
efforts by the wealth producers of the coun
try-
7. We reiterate our demand for the adop
tion of a county option law for the regula
tion of the liquor traffic.
8. We heartily indorse the action of our
members in the present state legislature. Sen.
ator M. J. Daly, and Representatives Henry
Plcwman and Knurl Ped'erson In sustaining
Gov. Llnd In his veto of the sugar bounty
bill, which we denounce as class legislation.
9. In view of .the fact that the banking,
railroad and manufacturing corporations an<l
trusts innumerable are organized for bus
iness and political purposes, we should profit
by their example and organize. As a first
step in the people's battle of self-defence the
People's Party County league, of Otter Tail
county, was organized, and we urge upon all
present to aid us In organizing a local league
In every township of the county.

"Jerry J's" suggestion that State
Auditor Dunn was trying to boom J.
F. Jacobson for secretary of state in
order to hand the auditorshlp down to
Deputy Sam G. Iverson, calls forth
the following signed denial in Mr.
Dunn's paper, the Princeton Union:
There are several Inaccuracies In the above
paragraph. In the first" place 1902 is too far
remote for even such an astute gentleman
as Mr. Jermane to make political prog-
ncstlcatlocs with any degree of correct
ness. Many things that the political seers* do
not dream of may happen between now and
then. In the second place there U no plan
to hand down the audltorshlp to Mr. S. G.
lyerson. And in the third place Mr. Iverson
and Mr. Dunn think there is no offlee within
the gift of the people of the state too good
for Mr. Jacobson. Mr. Dunn has not devote!
a moment of his time to booming Mr. Jacob
son or anyone else for any office. As far as
the secretaryship of state Is concerned Sam
loanguin claims to have a lead pipe cinch on
that place. Mr. Jacobson might make
Langum some troubl* 1 , hence it i 3 absolutely
necessary to switch Jake onto another track.
Sam and his boomers are cute.

To The St. Paui Globe:
The Dtn-atcb of Feb. 2 stated that Dr.
Robillard was severely criticised fpr his con
duct, at a meeting held In the First ward
last night, in heading the Lindahl faction.
Allow me to state to you, my dear sir, that
John Copeland said long ago: "Doc, the
Swedes were only voting stock, anyway," and
that "I believe in the advancement and < du
eatlon that they bay? received probably
through my help." That they have found out
what John Copeland, poor unfortunate vic
tim of Jack Frost's avarice, v/hom the voters
are Republicans of the First ward will soon
make obsolete. — Dr. Robillard.

Senator J. D. Jones resents the im
putations that have recently been made
by the Long Prairie Leader that the
ulterior purpose of the bill to annex
Wadena county to the Seventh judi
cial district was for the purpose of
necessitating an additional Judgeship,
to which Mr. Jones would be chosen.
The Todd county senator,- in a letter to
the Todd County Argus, points out that
he could In no way benefit from It, as
he would be prevented by two constitu
tional* provisions. First, that providing
that a member of the legislature cannot
be a beneficiary of any act of his while
a member and, second, the one provid
ing that no member can hold any other
offlce except postmaster during the
term for which he is elected.

The Republican newspapers are now
asking why the railway and ware
house commissioners do not investigate
the charges recently made by Col.
Gridley, of Duluth, before a body of
educators, that the iron ore rates on
the Missabe and Vermilion range roads
are excessive. The Republican papers
seem to have lost sight of the investi
gation of that very question before the
railway commissioners which strung
along for the greater part of nine
months last year, and which was sud
denly stopped about Christmas without
any tangible result having been ac
complished. The independent owners
of several mines did complain about
the rates to the commissioners and
hearings were held in Duluth. this city,
Cleveland, Detroit and other places
until a ton of testimony and evidence
was gathered and then of a sudden,
the plaintiffs in the case sold their
mines to the Oliver-Carnegie combina
tion, the suit was dropped, and there
has been no complaint since from the
Carnegles regarding rates.
This may have been in the mind of
Col. Gridley when he asserted that in
his opinion the railroad companies
soothed the Oliver-Carnegie combina
tion by giving rebates on their freight,
an advantage not enjoyed by the
smaller mine owners.
At the time the ore case was dropped
The Globe endeavored to learn why
the state should not complete the in
quiry for its own interest, but Attorney
General Childs was about to retire
from offlce and there seemed to be no
one else with sufficient public spirit tc
continue the fight for reduced rales.
The commission was seemingly per
fectly willing to drop the case, al
though the end was virtually In sight
and If It has kept the records can,
it is claimed, finish it without any
trouble. Chairman Mills can doubts
less furnish Jerry J., with some sort of
a reason why the railroad commis
sion was willing to drop the inquiry
in the way it did.

County Bar.

tice as far as it can be made applicable.

age, out of the county treasury.
J. R. Blackwell called a meeting of
the executive committee of the Lincoln
Republican club to protest against the

member of the committee who appeared
to protest. There was also some op
position by George Walsh, but the re-

addicted to puns, "(5. ) wit she has!" "(6. )e? rt responded Mrs. Smith, j

The Caroline Island*.
These islands acquired a, new interest In the
public mind during the Spanish war, and a
brief notice of them is pertinent. They are
situated some 200 miles east of the Philip
pines. They are comparatively rich islands,
but are much less important to the world's
commerce than are their neighbors. Most of
them are g-naill and insignificant, the largest
being only come eight or ten miles In length.
While Spain's possession of the islands is
"based upon th 2 right of original discovery she
came within scorching distance of lcslng
them several years ago. In 1875 Germany
took tha position that the islands did not
properly belong to Spain, since the latter had
failed to effectively exercise its sovereignty In
giving them some form of government. This
brought Spain to tier senses, and she imme
diately began to assert her rights over the
islands In due form; but G*Tmany, entertain-
Ing- covetous hopes of possessing th- islands
herself, notified her that she would proceed at
once to dispute her rights. War Beem.-d In
evitable, but the emperor of Germany agreed
at length to s-Jbmit the matter to th; pope
of Rome, who decided It by confirming Spain
in her possession of the islands. Since that
time Spain's authority over the Carolines has
not been in dispute.— Gloie Year Book and
Almanac.
