The above statement la based en a a fenr
mill tax, being the full amount allowed by
law and te make ends meet will require
economy en the'part of the beard.
Your committee regret the necessity that
compels them te Increase the tax rate from
3 te 4 mill, at the present time, but the ae
tien el the beaid te furnish free all books
and supplies n quired by pupils attending
the tchoels leave no alternative.
The said action will cost about $11,000 te
the end of school year June 1, 18S8, and as
no appropriation was made by your com
mlttee In last year's appropriation te pay it,
you have deflcleney as above estimated.
We have examined the treasurer's ac

pupils la about 8J years In tbe highest cla&,
and about 7 years In tbe rest of tbe school,
but paplls of all ages from five (falaely re re re
eoreod six) te thirteen may be found in at

It will be seen that they remain en an aver

mneh longer and some favored by natural
qnlekneaeandatrength of intellect, or be
cause of having received previous Instruc

It la the opinion of your city superinten

ened with tbe care Incident te supporting
the family, are tee often wef ally indifferent
te this matter, and tbua the atav of their

It need but be montlened that tbe average

Unquestionably the best remedy for this

la sometimes proposed, nor yet In reduslng
tbe Dumber of studies, but In the employ

our grades are low oneugb, (thanks te tbe
system of paying unllerm salaries,
and according te grade) lower- than

most ether oilier, but that the tuition of a
child In the primary school is worth only
$0 C9 per month, while a few years later,

Lake Helen, Fie,, April h Well, we
till live, having survived tbe rigors of
another Flerida winter. In fact the winter
haa been remarkably mild, even for
Flerida. We have had a few slight frosts,
but nothing like a freer. except for aslngle
night, and that was in November. As I
read of your terrible bllrxarda and snow
storms; Of trains anewed in, telegraphs
blown down, and psople perishing from
cold even In the streets of your great
cities, I shuddered In sympathy, and
thanked Ged that X was In this land of
perennial bloom and genial'sunahlne. We
are new In the full flush of spring, and
have been' for weeks. As I write I am
sitting In a mulberry tree, whose magnifi
cent foliage covers and surrounds me like
a huge umbrella. Its branches cover a
circle of fifty feet, and where they spring
from tbe trunk I have constructed a rnstle
seat a delightful place te read and write.
Around me are fine old orange trees elad In
their salts of fresh, dark, glossy green, and
making a cathedral-like shade under their
overarching bengbr. Clese by Is a huge
oleander twenty five or thirty feet htgb,
bearing millions of buds and a few beau
tiful double pink blossoms. A few yards
away I see pomegranate treea with their
rich red flewerr. Here en my left is a large
erape myrtle which will seen be covered
with beautiful soft sprays of bloom. Bsck
or me are four large fig tree that have just
put en their beautiful light green leaves.
Soen I shall see the little figs sheeting out
from every twig. It is a onrleua thing
that fig trees produce frnlt without any
visible blossom. A Utile te my right are
two large grape arbors en which the scup scup scup
porneng vines are beginning te put en their
leaves tbey are late sleepers. Our cottage
is a few reds away, in tbe newer portion of
the grove. There Is a lawn In front end en
the aides that has been green all winter.
A large bed of phlox Is a mass of brilliant
bloom, and there are beautiful roses,
bnnchea of sweet alyssum, sweet scented
blue violets, purple, red and white ver
benas in great profusion, brilliant scarlet
geraniums, and various ether flowers.
Seme of these bave bloomed all winter.
We bave been feasting en strawberries
for two months, and shall have them ter
two months longer. Children pick them
for us for three centa a quart, and we get
from ear home patch about 30 quarts
a week. There haa been a geed home
market for strawberries this season, being
readily sold at 10 cents for eulls and 25
centa for firsts. I shipped my last box of
oranges some weeks age. I sold some at
home, but sent most of them te Phlladel.
phla and Baltimore, whoie they brought
very fair prlees. Tbe treea are still In
bloom; and have been for weeks, giving
premise of a large crop next winter. It
every blossom fruttetl there would be mil
lions of ersnges en some trees. In my
garden 1 have had delicious cauliflower,
lettuce, radishes, turnips, etc We have
had rips tomatoes a few all winter. Im
mense heads of cabbage are new ready for
use, and some of my neighbors sre digging
tbelr Irish potatoes, Mine are a little
later. I give these details that you may
realize tbe dlflereuoe between your seasons
and ours,
a n Amine uk.
We have Just passed through an cxeltlng
election te dotermlne tbe location el tbe
oeunty seat The leading candidates were
Ds Land and Lake Helen, and the resnlt
was in favor of De Land. About a week age
I attended a barbecue at New Smyrna, in
the Interest of Lake Helen. The crowd
were feasted en beef, sbeepahead flab,
baked oysters, bread, crackers, and oelfeo.
The beef, Instead of being roasted wbole,llke
a turkey, as I had seen It done at tbe Nertb,
was quartered and roasted or broiled en a
sort of gridiron. A trench was dug about
two feet deep,twe-and-a-balf feet wide, and
sixteen feet long. Over this were laid iron
bara en which tbe meat rested and In the
bottom a fire was built. The fish was
cooked In tbe same way. The oysters
several bushels of them were built up
Inte a wall en a plank, and Palmetto leaves
and ether InUtmmable material were
turned en the windward side, se that the
Uames would blew ever and through the
wall of bivalves. I did net eat any of
them, but no doubt they were geed. Oys
ters are plenty at New Smyrna. When the
tide is out you have only te step down
into the channel of tbe river (tbe Hills
borough) and pull them up by tbe roots.
The northern birds, some of them at
least, are still with up. I have net aeen
the robins of late, but tbe beautiful blue
birds I see every day. Black birds are, I
suppose, cosmopolitan. Whlle I write they
are making a pretty fuss up In tbe tree top
above my bead, uttering their peculiar me
tallic note and fluttering tbelr wings, and
here one of them baa thrown a mulberry
down into my lap saucy fellow. The
mocking birds keep up a great chattering
all about, but that is an old story. We bear
tbelr sweet warbllngs all night long if 'we
obeose te listen. And here comes a jay
with black shield and his top knot, and be
and the black birds abuse each ether like
drunken sailors.
the chameleon.
One of tbe peculiar animals of Flerida
reptile, shall I call litis tbe chameleon,
the name of which Is such a puzzler te spel
ling olasses. It is a small lizard, with a
body about three inches long and tall a lit
tle longer. Its change of color In different
situations is its striking peculiarity. It
does change color, but tbe cnange la net ae
marked aa is generally supposed. It deea
net always assume tbe exact color of the
substance it is en. When it is en a green
leaf, however, it Is green ; en a ripe orange
it asiumea a brownish hue ; and en a dark
tree trunk It Is of a grayish color. Rut It
does net turn red, or blue, or purple when
put en a substance of that color. It is a
harmless little thing, and ladles aemetlmea
make It a prisoner acd wear It as an orna
ment Did you ever bee cassava T Its cultiva
tion Is attracting some notice new In this
state. Yeu cut tbe top Inte short pieces
and plant these, as you plant augar cane.
The edible part la the root, which is large
and long. It Is almost pure starch, and is
prepared much as arrowroot and corn cern corn
s'areh are prepared. It yields Immensely,
and yet does nut seem te exbaust the seli.
northern visitors.
Mere Northern people bsve been in Flor Fler
ida tbe past winter than ever before, and
there will be mere next winter. The In
creasing severity of Northern winters, the
partial collapsing of the California bcem,
and tbe recognized superiority of the Flor Fler
ida climate as a winter residence, mnst
make our state mere snd mere sought for
by persons who want a pleasant resort dut
lug tbe winter months, either for health or
recreation. The season opened late tbla
year, net until February ; but since It was
fairly open the hotels have been taxed te
their utmost capacity, and in many cases
applicants have been turned away.
Hers
In Lake Helen we bare had a geed many
Pennsylvania visitors. Oar leading hotel,
the Harlan, may be called a Pennsylvania
house, it being kept and partly owned by
Mr. Ceurtrlght, of Scranton. We have had
some visitors from Lancaster oeunty. Mr.
Heleeend Mr. Walker, of Columbia, vis
ited my grove and took souvenirs back
with thorn. Dr. Mary Wilsen passed
through and sent me a message, but could
net atop.
I recelve many letters from people who
have eaught the Flerida lever, asking my
adviee about coming here te ilvr. Te such
I atwayaaay, first come and see things for
yourself. People often get false Ideas from
books and letters, even though the state
menu are true. Seme have an Idea that
nature here will pour her golden stores
into their lsp merely for the asking ; that
fortunes are here te be made with but little
labor, Tbla is net true. Many suoceod
here and many fall. Here, as elsewhere, it
is only labor and pluek aud energy di
rected by geed Judgment that uucceeds.
There are fortunes here for thoe who
knew hew te get them, but nowhero is it
truer that we must work te win.

committee, Revs C. G. Fisher, T. A. Foua Feua
termacber and Mr. W. W. Welgley.
After the business meeting the tnombera
of the association, tegether with the invited
guests-, repalred te the banqueting hall,
which was tastefully arranued. the fables
being set In tbe form of a hoieesbee, and the
colors of the college being represented by a
festooning of blue and wblte bunting.

Rev. J. C. Musser, et Huntingdon ; Marcus
Breck, J. Y. Deltz. Dr. H. II. Guilferd
occupied the chair and made tbe opening
address.
Th6 first toast, " The true aim of the col
lege In education," was responded te by
Rev. Dr. T. G. Apple, president or tbe col
lege. He said It was te furnish a liberal
education and te prepare Its studenta te
enter upon any calling. Aa the ego. calls
for skilled workmen nearly every branch
has Its school, se called. It is for the highest
Interest of society that some portion of the
community should be educated at a Frank
lin and Marshall college.
Fer these who value education for its own
sake the college furnishes the opportunity.
It Is therefore clear that tbe oeilege must
keep up Its standard et study. Te Identify
tbe oelloge with tbe technical soheol cannot
fall te lower the standard of a liberal educa
tion. On tbe ether hand, the university
stands above the college, and lis students

In England tbe line is distinctly drawn
between tbe college and the university
ceurse of atndy. Education for Its own
sake ranks high acove all consideration of
lta own lmmedlate practical use. It Is
simply elevating true manhood, making
man recognize his superiority as destined
te survive the wreck of nature. 1 he col cel col

City " by Jehn P. Head, of New Yerk.
Hen. Jehn Scott being called en, made n
few remarks en the subject et the old law
school. He said that the men who went
out from that little efilce In Cbambersburg
were net very many. He always had a
tender recollection or Marshall cel loge, and
many of tbe tsieclatis et his hie were
these who bad gene out et the college. He
went en te say this immense aggregulen
of power arose from the demand of the
people for tbe development or tbe country.
The individual will is being subverted by
organizations. Mr. Soett was glad te find
that se many of tbe alumni or Franklin
and Marshall cellege were concentrated
about Philadelphia. He trusted that there
might be many such occasions ler reviving
old memories.
Ex-Governer Harfrenft wai next called
en. He Bald his heart had always been
with tbe college, and he often regretted
that be had net remalned te graduate, lie
thought a young student hud n hard tlme
te get a competent education. Parents In
sist that their boy must be a professional
man, wben perhaps he Is fitted for neither
or the professions. Everything is running
Inte specialties. It Is a great adantage te
ayeuBg man te knew just what he is going

Editors Intkllieknckh In your
Issue et tbe 0th Inst you publish an article
headed "Trouble at tbe Prison," and
stated In your headlines that there are
irregularities whleh need explanation.
Aa I bsve been clerk at that Institution
for six years and my books and conduct
have been Impugned by your publication,
I think It due te myself te glve your
readers n slatement of the facie In the
matter.
As te the amount due the oeunty en the
prison books, the fact la that dnrlngthe
Administration et Keeper Burkhelder there
was always a considerable amount due en
the books for the reason that mueh et the
product of the labor of the prisoners was
traded te parties who furnished the prison
with supplies. Fur Instance, R. E. Fahnea Fahnea Fahnea
toek, Hard it MoKlrey and ether merchants,
who settled annually, bought earpets In
large amounts, and the prison purchased
from them dry gueds. Mr. Fabnosteck'a
Recounts alene olten ran ever $1,200 a year.
Mesarr. Artmsn it Treletiler, of Fnllsdel
phis, supplled tbepriMin with carpet ehaln
and rags j they take carpet In exehange.
Their account amount te $0,000 per annum.
The net cash profit te the oeunty en the
carpet department last year waa $3,837.
Wben I went te the prlien, tbe carpet sales
ameunted te about 6 000 te 7,000 yards per
year. List year tbe sales were ever 50,000
yards.
Your report says that the committee says
thore are about $5,000 of bills due the oeunty
net mueh or which Is collectible. On that
subject 1 want te make tbe following prop prep
osition : I will take the books and acoeunta
of the prltdn and pay cash for them In 30
days from transfer en the following ferms:
The beard te transfer te me all book ac ac ac
eounta Included In the Inventory taken In
Nevember last, and all acoeunta en the
books from the date of Inventory te April
1st, 18S8, when I left the prison.
1 will upon tbe transfer of the books give
a bend in tbe sum of ten thousand dollars
te pay the full amount et tbe accounts as
above specified at the end et thirty days,
less 12 per cent for my services. I bave
Inquired of a number of business firms of
this city and they tell me that my compen
sation in this ellur Is less than fair te my'
self. f
1 have been In business in Lancaster
county elnce 1853, and 1 presume that busi
ness men generally will knew that the
obarge against me made by thla coin cein coin
mlteoo is Inoerrcot. 1 make the above
elfer, hewever, te oenvtnoe the tax
payers they are utterly false. And
In tills elhr I Include net only ac
counts for goods aeld by myself, bht also
for goods sold by ethor beads of depart
ments. During my form as olerk at the prison,
net ene of tbe hundreds of persena desllng
at the prison ever questioned the accuracy
of my book a. Even Levi Sensenlg, who
rofuned te pay his bill whereby It becsme
neeesssry te sue him, never disputed the
correctness of his account, but delayed pay
ment until be could elect a beard who
would bave consciences of snffielent
elasticity te allow thorn te settle in hla v ay,
without regatd te tbe interests et tbe tax
payers. In my first year at the prison, tbe beard
struck from the books as worthless for
goods aeld provleus te that tlme, acoeunta
amounting te mere than tbe eutlre Ieaa en
book account during my entlre lean of six
year, with the oxceptton of the less en tbe
account of Milten Holdelbseh, who had a
running account In which I think there
was a less of atieut $300, the re
sponsibility or which must fall en a
member of the beard who lives near
Hoidelbach's, nnd who repeatedly assured
the beard that Hoidelbaeh waa solvent.
As te the business methods et tbe Insll Insll
tutlen or which complaint is made by Mr.
Eaby, I have te say that I am anxious for
tbe fullest investigation of them.
With regard te the vouchers et Mr.
Nlssley, the late treasurer of tbe beard, 1
want te say that If Messrs, Csrter and
Eaby, who are anxious investigators, had
understood thelr business, they would net
have put your reperter te tbe necessity of
correcting an error. In fact I am per
suaded that tbey purpesely mlsled tbe re re re
eoreor. They told him that Mr. Nlssley's
vouchers wero net at tbe Farmers' bank
and that they should have been there. The
fact 1h that the vouchers of Mr. Nlssley for
his whole term, aud all the bills and checks
for tbe payment of the ssme, are new and
have been for two weeks In the hsnds of
the oeunty auditors who are auditing Mr.
Nlssley's accounts as treasurer, and where
they may be examined net only by the
auditors, but by any taxpayer who wants
Information en the subject.
Yours respoetfully,

very much desired by Levi Sensenlg'a
beard of luape-cters, as he, Nlssley, has been
a thorn In thelr slde and must be gotten rid
of at any cost.
I de net want te try te vlndlcate Mr.
Nlssley. He does net noed it The people
of Lancaster county knew that fur honesty
and lntOjjrlty he stands net only hesd and
shoulders above his traducers, but also
abeve their owner. When tbls sub-committee
Investigated tbe shoe shop and found
thUlotet unsuitable leather were they aure
It was Nlssley's purchase, and If se, why
did tbey net aay something about a let that
has been thore for aome yeara and was net
purchased by Mr. Nlssley and some that
was bought later by a gentleman new In

I would like te refer a moment te the
statement "that there were 11 ve thousand
dollars en the books and net mueh et It

order te show that tbey de net
mean what they aay, 1 will buy
the book accounts that were con
tracted from January 2, 1682, up te January
2, 1833, and pay them 75 per cent cash, or
will allow tbem te compare the book ac
count for that term with that of any busi

the same extent and during tbe same time.
And If tbe prison's bad debts are in excess
I will pay the difference, It this business
beard will agree te pay me the difference
if It be In tbe ether direction.

Lanuauteu, Pa-, April 0,
Editors or Intelligencer.-- O en tie
men; In an article published lu your
piper of last ovening charges are made
against my management of the ahee shop.
And also against Mr. Nlsiley, ene of tbe
Inspectors and a member of the leather
committee, These charges are made by
Messrs Oarler and Eaby, te whom I wish
te brleily reply. As te the purebsse of the
leather In February, tbe fact la I was In need
of eeme leather and gave Mr. Nlssley
a list of what I wanted, and he took the
order te Merris Zeek's leather store, I
then went and selected the leather myself.
1 knew when I gave the order that I
would net need all the leather befere the
first or April, but tbe sole leather was
alwaya bought In ten side lets, se as te get
the benefit of wholesalo rates. Tbls leather
was bought oheaper than any leather of
thla kind since I went te the prison, and two
cents a pound cheaper than ever was bought
by Mr. Carter, (whleh tbe bills will show,)
who is also a member of the leather con,,
mlttee and was during my three years at
tbe prison. New, tbe bill of leather bought
by Mr. Nlssley was net ever $200, as stated
by your artlele, but waa $102 37. As te the
quality el the goods, they were as geed as
any shoemaker buys in Lancaster county,
te whleh Mr. Zwk will testify, and net the
goods that Mr. Carter and Eby refer te as
unfit for uie In the shoe shop; but the
leather they refer te la a let of very heavy
klpa that were bought befere I went te the
prison. It surely canne: be the Free eh
kips Mr. Carter bought and had sent te the
prison with a let of otbeiyleathor that I did
net have the ohane3 te select ( privilege
always granted me In every bill et leather
bought) and when I called Mr. Carter's
attotitlen te this, that It was tee high-priced
for our trade, he said I should keepP,
Whleh 1 el ceurse did,
I left the prison March 31st, nnd will pay
telhe beard of Inspectors $230 cash for tbe
manufactured goods nnd raw material en
hand when I lelt en March 31st. Or I will
ntkke allowance for what has been used or
aeld by my successor since, that date, or
may be able te de a little be Iter If tbey wish
te sell out And aa for that leather bill, It
can be found In the hands of the auditors,
where Jit belongs, or at Merrla Zxk'i
leather store, aa his books will be open for
any et the Inspectors or laxpsyeia of Lan
caster county te examine In this cane.

Jtet at the lluka Street M. K, Church.
Dosplte the threatening weather, Duke
street M. E. church contained a large au au au
dtonce Thursday night, thore te hear the
Rev. O, II. Tiffany, D. D., of St. James'
Episcopal church, New Yerk elty, leeture
upon " National Character." The reverend
gentleman la a fluent speaker and carried
the aympathles of the auditors throughout
his talk, whleh lasted one hour, in hla
opening words the speaker called attontlen
te the characteristics of the nations of tbe
old world In dead age, picturing in
polished and graphls language the olo elo ole
monta of human oharacter lu Greece, Italy
and ethor nations. Coming down te later
dales, Rev. Tiffany spoke et tbe great re re re
somblanee In character botween the Irish
peeple and tbe Creeks of elden time In
tbelr temperament and general buoyaney
of spirts. Referring te the Remans, he
said they were business men, net specula
tors. The Reman's mission, he felt, was te
conquer the world. He despised things
which he did net oensldor practical.
As te Germany,no peeple is mero prudent.
They are generally alew and phlegmatic.
The German haa been noted for his aim
pliclty, butet late years bis simplicity of
character has deteriorated. When divided
Inte numereus llttle states, they made
what might be formed a mutual admiration
aeclely, with the best opinions of tbom tbem
selves and the hlgheat estimate or thelr
own works. The fenaelty of the Teuten
has preserved fits nationality in forelgn
oeuntrlos. He lives here as he would in
Germany, even be far ai te retalnlng
absolutely hla own language, In most In
stances. The task befere the Am or lean
peeple la te weld these forelgn Influences
together for the advancement and welfare
et the country.
In England tbe propendoranco of the
practical element Is manifest England la
conservative. She lias moved slowly In
making change, believing that that which
was geed enough for tbelr fathers Is geed
enough for them. The changes that abe
has made have been accomplished by force
of popular sontlment Her Hnuae of Lords
snd many ethor institutions are flagrant
violations of Justice; hec universities are
behind the age.
Our own national oharacter Is the result
of many combinations. The Amerlcan is a
go-ahead, wldeawake and enorgetle man,
tboeuloomoot a homogenous forelgn ele
ment. Te him are due the honors of the
telegraph, telopheno and many tnodern In
ventions In labor-saving machinery, The
doctor referred te the Impressive facts et
the results of tbe civil war, leaving a char
acter se bread and firm thtt Us equal Is net
upon tbe faoe of the earth. With a vast
area of soil at his command from which te
extract coal, iron, wheat, corn and oreps of
all kinds, tbe American citizen is te-day
Independent or all nations depending en
no people for existence, yet the fountain
from which ether peoples depend for tbelr
bread.
The orator sbowed the wonderful per
spicacity of the American in all his various
occupations, and closed with an appeal te
tbe American workman te net give up his
rights te freedom guaranteed by that won
derful Instrument, tbe constitution, In the
matter of saying hew much his labor
shall bring. The doctor was sovere en
labor organizations, claiming that tbe
Amerlcan arils in should net trust his
liberty te the keeping bl ether persons, but
should maintain hla dignity and perfect
freedom.
Speaking of the temperance Issue, he
hoped that lomperance would arise upon Its
own merits and should be separated from
party politics, lln did net belleve the
Prohibition sentiment should be. used for
the purpose of destroying either tbe
Democratic or Republican party. There
should ke enough in the ennobling sentl
ment te make It an Issue for prohibition
only, and net for political purposes.
An Emtry Wheel lluiU,
Last evenlng an aceldent, which might
have dene much mero barm, occurred at
tbe sbopet D. U. Kulp, en East Cbeatnut

was busily engaged working at an emery
wbeel, which wai making 1,800 revolutions
per minute. Suddenly .the wheel burst
and breke Inte tbree pieces. One et the
pieces struck Kllgere en the sheulder, cut

OniCAcie, April 0. The Mail te-day,
with reference te a story published In Its
columns some time age et the existence et
an oath-bound secret organization, which
had for ene of Its objects the election of
Judge Grcaham as president, saya that the
organization new covers every state aad
territory In the Union ; has oeunolls or
' eampanlea," aa tbey are called, In three
fourths et the Important towns; has twelve
branches of the organization In Chicago
and mere thsn a hundred In the state of
Illinois the National Order of Vldettee.
Continuing, the Mail says that It Is with
out doubt true that JudgnlGrcaham knows
nothing whatever about It, and that the
constitution of the body does net explicitly
declare the nemlnatlcn and election et
Judge Greshnm te be the leading motive of
the orgsnltstlen, but the movement waa
started In Greahsm's Interest solely becsnae
the founders of It thought Mm te be the
fittest man for the position. His name was
net Incorporated In the constitution because
some unferaeen event might render it Im
possible for him te be nominated or te
accept tbe honor It tendered blm. The
following extract from tboeonstltutlon out
lines the prinolples of tbe organlzttlen :
"Te maintain tbe DeelaralUm et Inde
pendence as the foundation et our prlnol prlnel
pier. The preservation et enr country
from forelgn interference In enr monetary
and land systems of finance and land. Ne
membership with these who held allegiance
te any foreign power claiming citizen
ship, but aliens at heart Opposi
tion te contract pauper emigration
for the purpose of destroying Ameri
can workmen, Oar own Industrie first,
last and always. Our publle school system
shall be maintained and Improved no sec
tarian interference from any source. Ne
division of publle funds for sectarian
schools. Ne special privileges for any
class, butjust and equitable lawa for all.
Tbe cultivation of the home prlnelple by
the ownership of homes homes for the
homeless, land for the landless. A com
plete and perfect Union one government,
ene flag and equal rlgbta for all. Equal,
lty, liberty, fraternity, the climax of enr
hopes, the end sought te be obtalned. "
The system of organization Is en a military
plan, the state organizations being known
as brigade, whleh are divided Inte regi
ments and "companion." The greatest
care is exercised in the selection of mem
bers and tbe obligation Is very strlet aad
tbe recruit blnda himself te submit te the
penally provided for treason, should he be
disloyal te his eatb.
The order was organized a little mere
than a year, almost simultaneously in In In
dlanapella and Chicago.
