PAL* SUKPAT AT ST. MASKS.The Additional 8008 Not Swflteleat for

the Congregation.The Palm Sunday service in St Mark's

church yesterday morning drew a verylarge congregation. The addition to thechurch,, which gives about eighty moresittings, was open for the first time, but inspite ofthe extra room tbe building was ascrowded as ever, and as usual chairs hadto be placed in the aisles to accommodatethe worshipers.

The choir, under the training of Mr. H.Sherman Sharpe, is showing marked im-provement, and gives promise that themusic on Easter will be of a very highorder. The boys take the chorus parts ingood time, and with both volume and ex-pression ; and there are a number of ex-cellent solo voices. Two solos were givenyesterday morning, "The Palms," of J.Faure, by Mr. Whitney Palache, of SanFrancisco, and "Jerusalem," by Mrs. W. J.Grambs.

The lesson read during the service wasthe story of the last supper, the agong inthe garden and the betrayal. The sermonfollowing by the rector, Rev. David Clai-borne Garrett, was from the text, Lukexix:4l-42, "And when He was come near,He beheld the city, and wept over it, say-ing, If thou hadst known, even thou, atleast in this thy day the things which be-long unto thy peace! But now they arehid from thine eyes."

Mr. Garrett began by telling of the cir-circumstances under which these wordswere spoken. Christ had left Bethany togo to Jerusalem for the last time. He hadsent one of his disciples to get a colt onwhich to ride as He came to the top of theMount of Olives. The pilgrims who hadgathered at Jerusalem to attend the feastofthe passover flocked out of the gates tomeet Him. They thought thst he was thepromised Messiah who had come to re-deem Israel?set up a temporal kingdom,splendid beyond that of any period inJewish history. In honor and laudationthe multitude threw branches of palms inHis way, and shouted hosannas.

But Christ,-when He beheld the city,wept over it as a mother might weep overan erring child, and said: "Ifthou hsdstknown the things which belong unto thypeace 1 But now they are hid from thineeyes."

The speaker continued that the occasionrepresented a crisis in the history of Jeru-salem : the time fora choice between thethings which belonged to her peace andthe things which belonged to her destruc-tion. Such a time comes in the history ofevery nation?a turning point where thedecision means life or death. Such acrisis comes in the history of cities; sucha crisis may come even in the history ofthis place, when the people can choose be-tween that which seems to make for tem-poral prosperity and that which makes forjustice and honor. With the individual,too, the same decision has to be made,and Christ stands, as He stood over Jeru-salem, saying: "Ifthou hadst known, atleast in this thy day, the things which be-long to thy peace."

Before Mr. Garrett began his sermon heannounced several special services for thecoming week. At 5 o'clock on the after-noons of Monday, Tuesday and Thursdaythe regular Lenten services will be held.On Wednesday morning at 10:30 the sacra-ment of the Holy Communion <will be ad-ministered, and in the evening at 7:30 anaddress will be given. A three-hour ser-vice will be held on Good Friday, fromnoon till3 o'clock in the afternoon, and inthe evening there will be an address. Therite of baptism will be administered onSaturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Eastermorning at 7:30 there will be early com-munion, and at 11 o'clock the regular ser-vice; at 3 a special service for the GoodTemplars; at 4 a service for children, andat 7:30 the full choral service.

I By citations from the Bible, as well asgPMi history and ordinary life, Dr. Gilbert?flvanced the theory that in cidling or re-lating men Christ takes man as he findsaim, and endeavors to overcome the in-Isrent evil and develop the good by lead-

\hg the disciple into nobler and better ways?f life. When Christ called Judas, the lat-ter did not differ materially from the other.apostles. All were tainted more or lessWith Judaism and ignoble traits ofcharac-ter. Bach one was sordid in some degree,the difference being that while with theother eleven the character of Jesushad a transforming effect, the influence?pon Judas was in the opposite extreme.That which awakened nobilitv in Johnand James and the others only tended to?waken that which was evil in the heart ofJadas. Then, again, Judas was not lack-lag in ability, which was shown by thefeet thst he was elected the financier of(he group of apostles, and Jesus, throughftis one talent, would lead Judas on to theattainment of other graces. Jesus did not

five the purse to Judas as a temptation,?ther than the possession of any talent orpower becomes a test of character. Vicettd virtue are frequently but the reverse4des of the same emotion. Love mayton to hate, and patriotism develop intoymonal ambition.

Dr. Gilbert most eloquently contendedtiainst the view that in the performance

this deed Judas was impelled by a

Eer against which he strove in vain,

t*places Judas in the lowest hell in?ompany with the worst men of history,While the world has ever made the name

I if Jndas synonymous with all that isabominable and vile; and yet, if JudasWere but the instrument in the hand of apower he was nnable to resist, then not

i Mora and loathing should be his due but! fity and even eulogy without stint. The

woridin its estimate of Judas? or of Ar-aold?is not wrong and unjust. JudasVMnota mere puppet, but a free man,whose own volition chose the way in?Meh he went. The world's intuition de-darts that every man is free to choosedther the right or wrong, and this is askoeof Judas as of every other man.

The epeaker then indicated the succee-ds steps and emotions which led Judasto his culmination of crime.

THI DIVINE PROMISES.

B«v. O. T. W. Chandler Tells WhatThey Are.

Rev. O. V. W. Chandler, pastor of theSecond Methodist Protestant church, inNorth Seattle, exchanged pulpits yester-day morning with Rev. Benjamin Parsons,of the Second Preabyteriau church. Hetalked of the promises of God, taking forhis text:

11. Peter I:4?"Whereby are given unto u«exceeding great and precious promises; that by

these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,having escaped the corruption that is in theworld through lust"

Mr. Chandler introduced his subject bysaying that the promises were not madeby men nor angeis; if they were theywould not be sure of fulfilment. Thepromises of the Bible are beyond the powerof men or angels to perform.

The speaker called attention tc themeaning of the word "great" in the text.

It meant great numerically, he said,

which waa proved by the influence it

had had on the world and in-dividuals. The promises were great alsobecause of their character and source, the

author being God. And these promiseswere exceedingly precious because of what

they had cost ?God gave His son and

Christ gave His life. They were presiousalso because of their adaptation to anywants or occasion. Thrv were preciousbecause they met us in time of need. Our

necessities 'made them precious for we

needed a Savior and needed a cause to in-

spire us with hope.Mr. Chandler held that these promises

had been given us with the purpose thatwe might be partakers of the divine

nature. God's idea was to raise man up

from a fallen condition. He said thatmany seemed to overlook God's divine

reason for lifting man up; it was not to

save him from hell?that was secondary?-

the supreme thought was to make man

more divine, lift him from the darkness to

light and from ignorance to knowledge.

TO TH* CATECHUMENS' CLASS.

'alsi Sunday Service at Holy TrinityChnrch.

The services yesterday in Holy TrinityLutheran church and Sunday-school wereappropriate to Palm Sunday. In the even-ing, after the principal part ofthe beautifuland impressive liturgy of the Lutheranchurch had been sung, the sermon to thecatechumens' class was delivered. Thesermon was based on Rev. ii., 10: "Bethou faithful unto death and I will givetheie a crown of life."

The class was exhorted to be faithful,first by persevering in the true faith as ithad been planted in them in baptism, sec-ondly by being steadfast in temptation,trials and afflictions. This unto death?-the end oflife or even if it cost life. Thereward for such faithfulness is thecrown of life?life everlasting, embodyinglove, peace, happiness of the soul.The faithfulness of Christ was here de-picted, and all bidden to follow Him. Thepastor gave the young hearts three em-blems to carry in their minds as illustrat-ing the truths ofthe text. First, the shieldof faith, to be held constantly in the hand;secondly, the cross, to be marked on theirbreasts. By this sign they would conquer.By this sign the world would know them.Then the crown of life was to be alwaysbefore their eyes.

The Sunday-school exercises were alsoappropriate to the day. Trinity schooldisplays considerable life and activity, andis certainly doing a very good work amongthe little ones ofour city.

COTKBID VP IN SIN.

Mr. Lee Likens the Nations to Light-Starved Vegetables.

Rev. George H. Lee, pastor of the Tay-lor Congregational church, in North Seat-tle, preached yesterday a special sermonon the missionary subject, the day beinga general missionary day in the calendtyrqf the church. He took his text from:

Isaiah xxv :7?"And lie will destroy in thismountain the face of the covering cut over ailpeople, and tho vail thst is spread over all na-tions."

Mr. Lee spoke of Christ as removing thecovering of sin and death and sorrow fromthe nations. The condition of the nationswas as under a covering?figuratively acovering over the dead. The covering alsohid the sin of the nations and their ig-norance of God. The speaker thoughtthat the condition of the nations referredto was like that of vegetables growing in acellar or a dank place; the shades of sinand darkness blight the body and the in-tellect. The covering also, he said, blightedthe home. Inproportion as men got awayfrom the influence of Jesus, tha home suf-fered.

Rev. Lee's discourse was closely followedand proved most interesting and instruct-ive to his hearers.

AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.

Holy W«ek Ushered In by Proper Ob-servances.

Palm Sunday was appropriately ob-served in the Church of the Sacred Heartand the Church of Our Lady of GoodHelp yesterday. In accordance with anancient custom of the church, blessedpalm boughs were distributed among thecongregation. The "Pa'ssion" accordingto St. Matthew was read by the priest inLatin in a very impressive manner.

At the Church of the Sacred HeartFather Sigel preached a sermon on thelast days of Christ on earth, and spoke ofHis desertion by the Jews, His chosenpeople, who turned against Him and cru-cified Him. Father Sigel compared theconduct of those who crucified Christ tothat of persons in the present age, whenmen, without apparent cause or provoca-tion. turn against those whom they shouldbefriend and protect.

The Palm Sunday service at the TrinityEpiscopal church yesterday morning wasof an unusually interesting character.The music, under the direction of Profes-sor C. K. Roberts, the new organist,was excellent, and although no spec-ial pieces were given, formedan effective part of the service. Thechants were given to simple Anglicanmusic, and among the hymns was thePalm Sunday choral.

THE WELSH CHURCH.

The Story of Christ'* Appearance ToldAgain.

At the Welsh Presbyterian church,Seventh and Olive streets, a large number

of the Welsh residents of the city were pres-ent to hear the discourse of Rev. J. M.Hughes. The reverend gentleman took histext from:

Lake xxiv:34: "Saying the Lord has arisenindeed, and has appeared to Simon."

The speaker defined Christ's methods ofcontinuing the disciples' faith. Christ didthis, first, by making an appeal to theirjudgement, and second, by giving a super-natural revelation of himself as the prom-ised Christ.

BURNED BY COAL OIL.

Horrible Injuries Received bya Poor Woman.

»o Gent's ualaaadred shirts. Chester Ctsaty.

HER HUSBAND IS BADLY HURT.

While Attempting to Kindle a Tire, theOil Can Explodes?Probably

ratal Result.

Mrs. Johsnna Staff, who, with her hus-band, Ole Staff, and two daughters, livesat No. 115 John street, North Seattle, was

horribly and in all probability fatallyburned yesterday afternoon by the ex-plosion of a coal oil can. The woman at-tempted to start a tire in a kitchen stove

when the oil ignited; an explosion fol-lowed, the room was filled by a sheet offlame, and the terrified woman, with herclothes all on fire, ran from the house tothe street. She got half way across thestreet before she was caught by her hus-band. As she ran her shoes came off, andher dress and skirts dropped off or theyburned, and just as her husband caughther, with a scream of agony, she sank tothe ground, on fire from head to foot.

Startled by hearing the cries ofpain sev-eral men came up on the run and assistedthe frantic husband to put out the flamesand tear the burning clothing from thewoman. A second later another mancame up with a wet quilt and Mrs. Btaffwas wrapped in it.

Willing hands carried the injuredwoman to the residence of Mr. ArthurWalkley, at 128 Ash street, corner ofJohn. \u2666Dr. Frank Brooks was called anddid all he could to dress the terrible burnsand to ease the pain, but he said he couldnot hope for the woman's recovery. Overhalfof her body is blackened and burned.Mrs. Staff left a bed of sickness only threedays ago, and Dr. Brooks is of the opinionthat her strength willnot hold out.

Ole Staff never once thought of himselfwhile trying to save his wife, and he, too,is now confined to bed with burns exceed-ingly painful, but not necessarily fatal.He is badly burned about the face andarms, and his hands are literally charred.He was taken to the home of Mr. C. F.Jones and was attended by Dr. Creighton.

The family are Norwegian. They cameto Seattle from Norway a year and a halfago, since which time Staff has been em-ployed in Buchanan & Son's car shops.Staff's two daughters, aged 9 and 13 years,respectively, have been attending school.A few months ago the family moved to

No. 115 John street, a building formerlyoccupied by the Seattle dye works, nowdefunct. A few weeks ago Mrs. Staff tooksick with fever and, her husband beingwithout means, charitable neighborsnursed her until Friday last, when she hadsufficiently recovered to move about. Yes-terday afternoon being warm and pleas-ant, Mrs. Staff, her husband and two chil-dren took a walk, returning home about4:30 o'clock.

Mrs. Staff, assisted by her daughters,started to prepare dinner. Both of thelittle girls were out of the room when thecoal oil can exploded and Mr. Staff wasstanding on the sidewalk in front of thehouse when his wife, all ablaze, rushed byhim.

The family has neither friends normoney, and they are being cared for bykind-hearted neighbors.

Although the building took fire, engineNo. 3 responded to the alarm and put outthe blaze. The damage to the dwelling isslight.

A horse on engine No. 2 became windedon Front street, near Vine, in running tothe fire, and dropped down. He wasdragged over a rod before the enginestopped, but as soon as he was unhitchedand regained his wind he got up and wasfound to be uninjured.

CHOLBBA HOOS CONDEMNED.

Ninety-Eight Head of Swine Seised bythe Health Department.

On Friday afternoon the attention ofMr. D. A. Crcighton, an inspector of thehealth department, was attracted to ashipment of hogs which had just arrivedfrom Omaha. They were held in the pensof the stockyards in custody of the owner,who had accompanied them from Ne-braska. Mr. Creighton, who has had con-siderable experience with stock, reportedto Dr. Sparling that he believed many ofthem were suffering from hog cholera. OnSaturday Dr. Sparling decided to makefurther inspection, and, accompanied byVeterinary Surgeon McPhrtion, went toMyers' slaughter-house, to which placethey had been removed. Thirty-six of theninety-eight had been killed and were be-ing prepared for market. The owner de-nied that the hogs were in anyway affected, but the veterinarianwas very positive that the animals werediseased. Dr. Sparling became con-vinced that the greater part were affectedand certainly that all those killed were ina condition unfit for food.

Leaving orders that none were to be re-moved, he returned to the city and calleda special meeting of the board, the mem-bers of which agreed with the conclusionarrived at. A resolution was passed di-recting Mr. Creighton to see that the hogswere all killed, but not sold as food.

The owner protests against the decisionof the board, but as no alternative is lefthint he promised to have the hogs takento Peterson's rendering establishment onMonday, wnere they will be transformedinto soap and other products of manu-facture.

The condemnation of the animals en-tails a loss upon the owner of probably$2,000. He declares that no more hogswill be shipped from Omaha if that is theway in which shippers are to be treated.

According to statements made by Dr.Sparling, the hogs were consigned to theOkanogan Live Stock and Dressed BeefCompany, and arrived in Seattle a weekago. The attention of Mr. Creighton wasfirst called to the animals from the factthat the carcasses of twenty-one, that haddied in the car. were floating in the hay inthe vicinity of the car of live ones. Fridaymorning, accompanied by Mr. Creigh-ton. when Dr. Sparling went to takeanother looW at the hogs, the carhad disappeared. About 10 o'clock thecar was located at the slaughterhouse of Herman Meyer, who runsa butcher shop on Yesler avenue nearRailroad avenue. Dr. Sparling reportsthat nearly all the hogs were killed whenhe reached the place.

About the same time the car of hogs ar-rived in Seattle, another car, also fromOmaha, arrived in Portland. Dr. Spar-ling says it is very probable that the twocars were shipped at the same time. Hesays that the hogs that arrived in Port-land were also condemned because theywere suffering from cholera.

"CAMILLS" AT CORDRAY'S.

Reappearance of MIM Agnes Lane, theNew Leading Lady.

In these days when ultra-sensationalismon the stage seems to meet with the appro-bation of a large portion of the populationofthe United States, it is a cause of reflec-tion to many as to what has led up to it.The air ofliberty which pervades the landfrom the Atlantic to the Pacific, and theindependence ofaction and opinion whichare inspired by the feeling of freedom havehad no small share in bringing about theexisting condition.

The average American is a hard worker.He toils laboriously, and he enjoys him-self thoroughly in his own peculiar way,when occasion offers. Like the Athenianof old he is ever seeking something new,whether in invention, in the applicationof principles, in producing extraordinaryeffects in art or the presentation of ques-tionable productions on the stage.

While law-abiding and loyal, he is ex-tremely sensitive when individual rightsare in question. He will read the "Kreut-zer Sonata" notwithstanding the ban ofthe postmaster general, and he will attendthe performance of the "Clemenceau Case"heedless ofthe anathemas ofthe church orthe censure of the press. He claims theright to exercise his own judgment onmatters in which he claims he and his arealone interested. If his education beliberal, he fa guided by good taste andan appreciation of the beautiful. Whenart stoops to consort with the ghoulswhich feast upon the reeking carcasses ofthe horrible dead, the refined Americanrefuses to follow, not so much from fear ofcontamination as from self-respect anddignity. The less liberally educated thinkonly of coercion in such a case. The par-amount question with them is freedom oflegitimate action. They follow the guidemore from a devil-may-care desire to ex-plore forbidden scenes than from any spe-cial craving to satisfy an evil propensity.Their very independence will force themto reject that which natural intuitionbrands as repugnant and loathsome.

Greater leniency, less acrimonious criti-cism, stronger belief in the latent good inevery man, and this rage for inartistic andlow-grade productions on the stage willdie a speedy death. Prudery is even moredespicable than immodesty, and when menand women are actuated by a truly exist-ing right principle, there will be littleroom for prurient sensationalism on theAmerican stage.

"Camille" willbe produced tonight bythe Cordray company for the first time.Handsome souvenirs willbe presented toall attending the performance in the the-ater, in honor of the reappearance of theleading lady, Miss Agnes Lane.

AMUSEMENTS.

Marie Walnwrlght.The most important event of the dra-

matic season will be the appearance onTuesday and Wednesday of that splendidactress, Marie Wainwright, in the twogreat comedies, "Twelfth Night" and "TheHoneymoon," in which she will be sup-ported by a superb company. The NewYork World said:

"Marie Wainwright's personal beautyand perfect art prevailed at the Fifth Ave-nue Theater last night. She was thereseen by a large and representative enthusi-astic audience for the iirst time in NewYork in the role of Viola in "TwelfthNight." Splendid scenic aids and a goodcompany contributed to placing theactress' work in the most agreeable andadvantageous light. Olivia's house andgarden were pictured in exquisite tones,and the color that pervaded the chiefscenes of the play, both in canvas and incostumes, fell with pleasant influenceupon the eye and made apparent at oncethat taste and art had combined to renderthe accessories worthy the dignity andambition of the achievement. Miss Wain-wright is a handsome woman. She re-joices in those physical attributes whichcause her sex to be adored. She is young,has a good figure, a sweet voice and a soul-ful eye. In every way she is admirablyequipped for the charming task that fallsto Viola's part in "Twelfth Night." Shelooks really irresistible in the boy's garbwhich Viola assumes when she enters theservice of Duke Orsini, and all through theincidents of the comedy, from the firstvisit to Olivia to the laughably ridiculousrole that is forced upon her in the duelscene, bears herself with womanly appreci-ation of the delicacy of her duty and athoroughly artistic estimate of the dra-matic value ofevery point with which sheis dealing."

Richards & Pringle's Georgia Minstrelswill appear at Seattle opera-house on nextSaturday evening. In speaking of thiscompany the St. Paul Disjmtch says:

"The Newmarket theater was nearlytilled last evening by an appreciative au-dience that witnessed the performance ofRichards <fc Pringie's Georgia Minstrels.The entertainment was a very pleasingone. Billy Kersands, whose trade-markis his big mouth, and Will Eldridpe, Edand Frank Maliory were the principalfun-makers, who occupied the ends of the'circle,' sang comic ditties and kept theaudience in good humor. One of the bestfeatures of the show was the performanceof W. G. Huffon a email harmonica; hecan literally mane the little instrument

talk. The most difficult airs were ren-dered in a charming manner, and Huffwas recalled six or seven times to repeatthem. Another entertaining feature wasthe marching and baton exercises of sev-eral drum majors."

Hew Industries Projected for theSalmon Bay City.

Anyone who has an idea that the city ofBallard is not progressing is sadly atvariance with facts. Within the last fewdays the question of the establishment oftwo new factories within the city has comeup with good prospects of their beingcarried into effect.

One of the proposed projects is theestablishment of a new shingle mill withall the appliances of a first-class factory.The shingle industry has become such aprominent factor in the manufacturingline that Ballard shingles are in great de-mand. The facta of the building ofthe

plant willbe made public within a fewdays and work gone ahead with.

The other matter is being kept veryquiet until after a location has been se-cured. Itis stated on good authority thata factory for the bulldiug of electric dyna-mos willbe erected within a few monthsand machinery turned out ready for work.This is quite an important business enter-prise, and if lucated at Ballard will assistmaterially in building up the city. Everyindication points to the location of theworks at Ballard. Employment will begiven to a large force of men, who willbefirst-class mechanics, drawing good pay.These men will naturally build themselveshomes in the city and thus add to the val-uation of all the holdings in and aroundthe city. All such projects as the locationof miUs and factories have a tendency todraw immigration. Ballard has been en-abled to attract people by her natnral lo-cation fora city, and has been assisted inthis by the erection ot mills and factorieswhich now operate extensively. The em-ployes of all the industries find comfort-able homes within a few minutes' walk oftheir work.

A test was made yesterday of the watermains used for the lire purposes. A pree-sure of 120 pounds was put on the pipeswithout a break or leak. The fire serviceol Ballard is without an equal in this partof the country. The entire city is pro-tected by the salt water system from anygreat conflagration. The recent fire inBerg's hall demonstrated clearly the worthof the service. The city council are tak-ing every precaution to see that thisbranch of public safety is in first-classorder.

The question of the franchise to the Se-attle, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad willbe definitely settled tonight. There willmore than likely be a proviso in the ordi-nance insisting upon the road runningpassenger trains into the city every day,instead of using the station at the junc-tion on the far side of the bay.Ifthe provision is carried through, the

city will be benefited by having excellenttrain service. The opening ofthe Seattle& Montana road will naturally improvethe attractions of the city, while the im-provement of the transportation facilitiesof the Seattle, Lake Shore <fe Eastern willadd greatly to the common welfare. Bal-lard has better traffic arrangements thanany point outside of Seattle, but these twoadditions will place her on an equal foot-ing with the Queen City. Then peoplewill not have to come to Seattle iftheywish to go north, east, .south or west.

It is gcuerally supposed that such a pro-viso will meet the sanction of the officialsof the Lake Shore road, as there is consid-erable business to be had in Ballard.

So it is in the new suit pat-terns, and in the piece goodsalso. There is a run of spotsthrough them. Spots and dotsfrom the small shot ones to the25c piece size.

The dress goods idea thisspring is a pleasant one. Giveschance for suiting individualtastes and still being with thestyle.

One doesn't have to confineto a plaid, or dots, or stripes.They all go with same favor,but the plaids have lost theirharshness and are soft in shad-ings, and the stripes and invisi-ble checks are even more re-tiring and subdued than everin appearance.

A hint about our spring stockof dress goods: Watch thecrowds of buyers at the count-ers any day. Surprising, isn'tit ? As much so to us as to

you. Shows the Tightness ofthe goods though.

We like to see that steadymovement of trade at under-wear counter. It confirms thewisdom of our marking ideason these goods.

Marked for quick sales andsteady demand is half the storyof the muslin underwear.

About the new spring jacketstock. Words are but lazytellers of what we are showing.Eyes are the only way to learnabout the new jackets. Youcan see them all at any timenow. Worth a special visit to

Cloak Department.Spring, spring, spring. It's

the word all over the millinerydepartment. Spring bonnets,spring flowers, spring trim-mings. Everything new withthe spring and direct from NewYork and Paris. A personallyselected stock, the very creamof the New York markets,bought with the requirementsof Seattle ladies steadily inview.

We say it!s the nicest stockof millinery goods ever shownin the city.

Ready for your inspectionnow at any time. Have a lookat the pattern bonnets.

Have you looked into thenew shoe department ? Athome on second floor to ladiesand children. One of our ideasfor comfort and convenience oflady customers. Hurry ofmoving hasn't given us thetime to complete the fitting ofthe department. In few daysmore we will be ready to sayeverything is in order. Gladto see you in the departmentat any time, however.
