Insurance Commissioner Merrill Leaves TJngfatefhl Boston for New Tbrk. Boston, September 9 The Globe, this morning, says: "The resignation of George S. Merrill, insurance commissioner of Massachu setts, has been placed in the hands of the governor, and it will probably be laid before the council at Its meeting to day. The grounds set forth for the resignation are not known, but in conversation the commissioner has said he was tired of the abuse and injustice done him in his effort to administer the office according to his views of what was right. On the other hand an offer which he says has been held out to him from New York was so nattering that he was unable to refuse it." BROOKLYN MEN AS OFFICERS.

M. Dater, Criticises the Animus of It. Lawyer Henry M. Dater of Elliott, Jones, Breckenrldge Dater, counsel for Andrew L. Taylor, makes the following statement concerning the arrest of Mr.

Taylor in Ulster County on August 14 at the instance of Mrs. Hattie A. T. Collins." Mr. Dater characterizes the arrest as an outrage.

It will be remembered that the apprehension was made on a civil order of arrest secured from Supreme Court Justice Smith and Mr. Taylor was taken while with his family at Lake Mohonk on a Saturday. Fortunately for Mr. Taylor he was in a position to give the required bond ot $2,500, and was therefore relieved of the necessity of going to jail over Sunday. Mrs.

Collins' charges are that Mr. Taylor has made wrong use of four of certain bonds which were put in his possession for examination. The relations between Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Collins, as far as their business transactions are concerned, are somewhat complicated, according to the.

statement from both sides. As to the animus which Mr. Dater alleges existed for the arrest of his client on Saturday night, he makes the following statement: "Mr. Taylor has sued Mrs. Collins for payment of notes amounting to $4,000 and on a check for $2,000.

The notes were secured by a deposit of railway bonds as collateral, and are now in the possession of myself and my partner as counsel for Mr. Taylor. The notes are past due and unpaid. This action which. Mrs.

Collins has brought is an action for wrongful conversion of bonds, when, in fact, the bonds are attached to notes, and, as I say, on deposit with' us as attorneys. "The parties in bringing about this arrest seem to have acted from a knowledge of Mr. Taylor's habits in such a way as to cause him the greatest annoyance possible. It is his custom to leave his office on Friday in the afternoon for Ulster County, returning the Monday following. Mrs.

Collins seems to have known this and on Friday of last week took pains to ascertain that Mr. Taylor was certain to go away to Ulster County on that day and then had the order of arrest sent to the sheriff of Ulster County, as I believe to cause the greatest possible annoyance to Mr. Taylor by serving the warrant at a late hour on Saturday night, supposing that away from home and among strangers and after business hours on Saturday he would be unable to protect himself." Mr. Dater said that he bad abundant evidence that Mrs. Collins regarded her dealings with Mr.

Taylor as legitimate Inasmuch as he had in his possession a letter from her which accompanied the payment on account ot $3,000 for the bonds which are now In question. Mr. Dater says he is absolutely sure of the complete vindication of his client when the case comes to trial. ELECTRIC FOUNTAIN DISPLAY. The Usual Big Cro wd Testified to Its Continued Popularity Pump Not Ready for Some Time.

The electric fountain at the park plaza continues to be as great a drawing card as when first opened. In Bpite of two exhibitions, Saturday and Monday, last night witnessed the same throngs that have crowded the plaza on the occasion of each display. So scattered was the throng and over so wide an area, that it is Impossible to say how many were present, but the police officials state that it numbered many thousands. Apart from the pleasure afforded to the spectators the trolley roads are the greatest Individual gainers by the opening of the fountain. Every car was jammed to its utmost capacity and so good were the transit facilities that twenty minutes after the display had ended the big crowd which surrounded the fountain dotted the entire plaza and which had, as usual, taken possession of the adjoining hillocks, had been carried away.

There was present the customary crowd of carriages and bicycles and a new industry sprang into considerable prominence last night in the shape of peddling elevated seats on vans and trucks. A number of these vehicles reaped a big harvest of silver. The roped off lnclosure for holding invitations from the Park Department was also crowded and seats were at a premium early in the evening. The display 'i'tsejf was similar to those that have preceded 5t, although so many different combmattons can be secured by working the many different jets and colors that the oper aitors find something new and beautiful to show every 'time the fountain is displayed. The old favorites, the sh.saves of wheat, fans and palms, together wiich the larger and more imposing jets that shoot skyward with a brilMancy that even ou'tshiines Pain's famous pyrotechnics, were invaria'bly applauded by the crowd.

Tbs engineers In charge of the fountain have expressed hopes that Che new pump, which will double the pressure and send the streams just twice as high as at presant and also permit the wat er to be used over and over again, would be ready this m'onfh. Last nKght it was said 'that the pump would not be ready for insital latino before the end of October and It is more than possible that it will not be used until next year. STATE GUARD PROPERTY.

EXAMINATIONS TO BE HELD. An Opportunity for Young Medical Men to Secure Positions When Remuneration Is Certain und Good Some Rigorous Requirements, However Government's Generous Offer Any Con actor May Build a $250,000 Ship Valued for $125,000. Eagle Bureau, I 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington. D.

C. September 0 The ex amining boards of the army and navy will hold examinations shortly to fill several very desirable positions under Uncle Sam, which are vacant and open to young men In civil life. At present there are ten vacancies in the) army and eight in the navy in the grade of assistaut surgeon. Political influence has nothing whatever to do with filling the positions. The most meritorious applicants will be selected, without regard for any other cou sideration.

The positions are obtainable by passing a good examination merely. The successful candidate at once receives his commission. In the navy his sea pay from the) start is $1,700 a year. At the end of three years he becomes a passed assistant surgeon and draws $2,000 per annum. After two years more have elapsed he is required to pass a simple examination, when his salary is raised to $2,200.

Having gone through the grades mentioned he becomes a full fledged surgeon, and from that time on his pay is steadily lifted until at the end of twenty years' service it reaches $4,200. A successful candidate for the army is first commissioned as assistant surgeon, with the relative rank of first lieutenant. His pay is less than at the start in the navy, being $1,600 upon entering the service. At the end 6f five years he is promoted to the rank of captain and gets $2,200. After ten years he receiver $2,400, and after fifteen years $2,600.

Gradual Increases are made until $3,500 is reached. With such good pay and the easy duties imposed on surgeons In the army and navy, it would naturally be supposed that the various grades would always be full. But it Is a fact that both the army and navy have the greatest difficulty In finding young men suitable for the service and vacancies always exist in both branches. Surgeon General Tryon In explaining to day why the navy is not able to secure desirable physicians said that the age limit and The severe physical test are probably the main reason. The first requirement of a candidate for the position of assistant surgeon in the navy is that he must be between 21 and 26 years of age.

Many young doctors have just completed their course of studies at the age of 22 or 23 and do not have time to gain the practical experience that is necessary before they pass the limit. The physical test is a rigid one and is conducted by a board of navy surgeons. Promotion' in this grade of the service is rather slow and it is therefore required that doctors must enter the navy at an early age so that they will retire with comparatively high rank. The professional examinations to be passed by candidates are not severe, but require a wide general A diploma from a medical school must be exhibited and a thorough oral and written examination passed. Candidates are also conducted to a naval hospital, where they are given a chance to show in a practical way what they know about clinical work.

If an applicant falls on his first examination he has the privilege of trying again the second year, which is his last chance. A good position In the medical corps Is considered more desirable in many ways than one in the line. The pay is decidedly better and there is comparatively little work to do. There is always a large number of applicants to appear before the examining boards, but the majority of them, fail. The Navy Department will issue advertisements in a few days calling for bids for the construction of a tailing vessel to be used at Annapolis for instructing the cadets in the art of sailing.

Tho officials of the department, however. hae doubts whether a single bid will be submitted for the work, on account of the fact that the job will be worth Just twice as much as the government Is prepared to pay for it. The plans on which the bids will bo bar.cd were drafted for a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar ship, but there is only $125,000 available for the construction of the vessel. This condition is. the result of a peculiar misunderstanding by the Senate while the naval appropriation bill was being flamed.

An estimate for a sailing ship had been submitted to Congress by Secretary Iyong. calling for $250,000. By some) mistake the paragraph In the bill stated that the ship was iti be fitted with engines, although the estimate of the department was based on a vessel equipped with sails only as the motive power. The committee struck out the provision In regard to engines and cut the appropriation in half, allowing only; $125,000 for the work. The department completed its plans on the original basis, and it has now been determined to issue the advertisements and see if any shipbuilding firm is willing to build a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar vessel for $125,000.

The ship is to be of the same length of the) old frigate Constitution, 1S5 feet, 37 feet beam and will draw IS feet inches. Conjrrossman Wilson, by the way, says that it Is ridiculous for the navy to build a wooden sailing ship in this day of steel vessels. Ho does not think that there is any good need for such a craft, and there are many officers at tho department who agree with him In this regard. It was rumored at the Navy Department today that Civil Engineer Menocal will shortly be transferred from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Civil Engineer P.

C. Asserson. now at th Norfolk Navy Yard, Is mentioned as his successor. Asserson was stationed at the Brooklyn yard some years ago, but was removed because of some slight violation of the civil service rules. Neither Admiral Matthews nor Captain Ci'owninshield would make any statement to day in regard to the reported transfer, of Monocal.

Not a single complaint has been received this summer at tho War Department of violations of the dumping regulations in New York harbor. At this time last year the residents alons the Long Island coast were in a great state of mind because of tho alleged pollution of tho water near tho shore resulting from throwing into tho bay all sorts of refuse. Colonel Ludlow has yet to report a single case of complaint. A WOMAN'S SUDDEN DEATH. Catharino Van Voltenborg.

John McKenna. Thursday la Che Day In the Brooklyn Dally Eagle. A valuable and inter: eating column, edited by an No chess played should be wlthou He Ignored Brooklyn Servant Girls and Is Paying a evere Penalty for His Lack of Wisdom Worth and Buttling to Be Placed Under Surveillance A Watchman on the Roof of the Clarendon. "I'm fast becoming a candidate for confinement in an insane asylum," said a highly respected member of the Rev. Dr.

Meredith's congregation as be mopped the perspiration from his brow and his usually placid face took on an expression of deep melancholy. "I've got a new servant girl and I made the mistake of not advertising in the Eagle for one, and the additional mistake of going over to New York to engage a girl recently from abroad. She said she could do plain cooking among other things, and so I brought her home. I am paying severe penance for ignoring the many competent servant girls of Brooklyn whose presence in a well regulated household Is invariably a source of comfort and Joy to their employers. But in my folly I went to New York for a girl.

A few days ago I sent home several rare muskmelons, with a message to the girl to have them ready for the family when ttoey should return from a visit to the fireworks exhibition at Manhattan Beach. We were somewhat warm when we got home that night, and my wife said a few nice, ice cold muskmelons would be very refreshing. She rang for the girl, and they had a conversation which ran In about this way: "My wife Prepare a half dozen of those melons that Mr. sent home to day. They will be nice to cool off with.

"The girl I don't think they're fit to eat, ma'm. "My wife And wiiy not! "The girl Sure, I've been bllln' them this last two hours an' their skins is as hard as bog oak. I'm thinkln' Mr. was delud ered when he bought 'em. The speaker chuckled hysterically as he thought of the boiled melons, and continuing said: "That girl has a mania for boiling things.

My wife sent home a half dozen of fine large, late blooming lily bulbs, and forgot all about them until one night the girl lifted the cover from a dish on the table, remarking as she did: 'Them's the queerest onions I ever put in a pot. Sure, there's no flavor to them at "She had boiled the lily bulbs, bellevins them to be onions. On another occasion she was directed to prepare some macaroni. We learned subsequently that she took a hammer and pounded the stems into small pieces, then stirred the mess up in a pot of boiling water, as If she were cooking stirabout. She insisted that the macaroni was stale because after cooking it failed to boil to the consistency of oat meal.

My wife is a down Easter, and one day she told the girl to put a spider on the stove and she would tell her how to fry something In a hurry. The girl disappeared for a half hour or more. When she made her reappearance in the kitchen she looked nervous and ill at ease. Then this conversation cook place: "My wife Why didn't you put the spider on, as I directed you to do? "The girl Sure I've been huntin' the cellar over from end to end, and I'm not after findin' one ot them. "My wife (hysterically) There is the spider over there, within reach of your hand.

"The girl (in blank surprise) Sure, we call them things frying pans at home. I'm glad you're not slch haythens as to eat bugs." A few nights ago, Theodore B. Willis announced that he had assumed the leadership of the Piatt forces In Brnolrlvn ane that Jacob Worth had been deposed. Yesterday Timothy L. Woodruff opened headquarters in the Clarendon Hotel and relieved Mr Wi lls of the leadership at least temporarily.

It is understood that each will take turns playing with the' toy. Mr. Willis would probably have opened headquarters in the St. George iiotei.so as to De near nls friend; Captain Tum bridge, had not Mr. Woodruff selected commodious quarters on the fourth floor nf fho Clarendon.

A gentleman who enjoys the inenasmp of Mr. Woodruff, says: "The headquarters have been connected with the cafe by wire and as the Clarendon service is excellent, there will be no delay in responding to Important communications from upstairs. I understand that a close watch is to be kept on County Clerk Worth and Sheriff Buttling by Mr. Woodruff and his friend Willis. From the roof of the Clarendon a man with a good field glass can command a close view of the entrances to the County Court House and the Hall of Records.

Mr. Willis and Mr. Woodruff may take turns watching these entrances, and if Congressman Fischer, Naval Officer Sharkey, Justice Kramer, Walter B. Atterbury, or any other leader claimed by the anti Low faction are seen entering either of the buildings named, the wily Lieutenant Governor will know that treachery Is afoot." When Sheriff Buttling was infm mo Willis' plan for keeping a close watch on the entrances to Vhe Court House and wn Records, he grinned and remarked, wnaxs the matter with the boys coming In through the back doors?" This remark was conveyed to the camp ot the anti Low men In the Clarendon and hurry call to a conference on the matter was promptly issued. Mr.

Woodruff may put two or three Plnkerton men on those back doors. There are several Republican and Democratic aspirants for the nomination for register. The office Is a rich political prize and it. may be of interest Just now to recall the names of the men who have held the place. The first election for register of Kings Coun'ty was held in 1852.

ME. BREWSTER CAME NOT, Although, Three Adjournments Were Taken to Await His Arrival From Great Barrington, Whither He Had Gone to Secure Judge Gaynor's ConsentWill Return To day Action of Colored Voters. The executive committee of the Municipal Union met last night at the Clarendon Hotel to receive the report of the conference committee of the union and to transact such other business as might properly come before it. This executive committee is made up of one man from each election district in all the Greater New York. There were present last evening Messrs.

John A. Qulntard, counsel to the Charities Department; Delancey F. Nichols, Thomas L. Fogarty, John C. McKechney.

J. B. Merril and J. Charles Wechsler. Of these men Mr.

Wechsler comes from New York and Mr. Merrill from Queens County. The others are Brooklyn men. As was told in the Eagle some time ago, the union appointed a conference committee to confer with Mr. Sheehan of Tammany Hall and with Mr.

McLaughlin of Wllloughby street, as to the placing of Judge Gaynor's name upon the ticket for mayor as the regu lar Democratic candidate. Mr. Qulntard, with the other members of the commttee, ten in all, conferred with Mr. McLaughlin at James port. Mr.

McLaughlin received them courteously, listened to what they had to say and then suggested that they confer with Judge Gaynor and find out, if possible. If he would take a nomination. So Eugene V. Brewster, president of the union, went to Great Bar rington, a day or so ago, to see Judge Gaynor. He was expected back to day and the principal business for last evening was to hear his report.

At 8 o'clock Mr. Nichols announced that there would be no session until 0, as Mr. Brewster had not arrived. At 9 the time was set for 10 At 10 Mr. Brewster was still absent and a further postponement to 11 was made.

At 11:05 'the six members of the committee wen't upstairs tio the lad'les' parlor. They returned at 11:30 and Mr. Nichols announced that a telegram had been received from Mr. Brewster, saying that he had been unavoidably detained and could not be back before Thursday. "I may say however," said Mr.

Nicbju'. "that Mr. Brewster has seen Judge (7 or and that the judge wEl take the nooK if he can be sure that the party vrl'A be united tor him." Mr. Nachrfls also announced that one of the persons employed to get signatures to the Gaynor petition had reported, and that as the result of three days' work had secured between 1,500 and 2,000 names. Taking this as a basis, Mr.

Nichols said that the lists st'll out ought to bring the total number of signatures up to 14,000 names. "You may say," said Mr. Nicho'js to an Eagle reporter, "that I have received the names of 200 haTd and fast Republicans who are with us for the judge. You may also say that Henry Gaorge Is with us heart and soul." Mr. Nichols said that no further business had been 'transacted and that the next meeting of the executive committee would be hold Friday afternoon at 3, at Mr.

Brewster's office. Mr. Brewster is expected to report at that time on his trip to Great Harrington. Mr. Nltfbols said that the reason why so few members of the executive committee were on hand was that a number of them, influential and prominent men, were out on a trolley ride, and hence could not attend.

The men at the Clarendon last night said that they wanted to nominate Judge Gaynor, but ritaii if the judge not for any reason be? named, some mam' would be nominated who agrees with the union's platform. Twenth eighth "Ward Democrats Preparing for the CampaiKn. The members of the Twenty first District Democratic Association of the Twenty eighth Ward held a meeting last night to discuss what methods should be employed to promote success In the Democratic party in the fall campaign, particularly in the Twenty eighth Ward. The meeting was held in the club house of the Empire Club on Bldert street. There was quite an animated discussion, in which most of those present took part.

Those who spoke were Fred May, 'William F. Delaney, S. Rosenthal, George E. Blake, Joseph Lawson, John Meehan and A. H.

Benck. The sentiment seemed to be that the proper thing to do was to work up more interest in the district association. There is little fault to be found with the Twenty first District In this respect, but the members desire to stimulate other districts to greater activity. It was thought best to consult the president of the assembly district committee to secure his co operation and advice that the desired end might be attained. Messrs.

Benck, May and Blake were appointed such committee. Colored "Voters Meet to Organize for the Campaign. Two meetings of the colored Republicans of this city were held last evening, one the executive committee of the Colored Citizens Republican Organization, at 315 Bridge street, the oL'ner the Henry Highland Garnett Club, at its club rooms in Pacific street, near Troy avenue. After the former had completed arrangements for the big Emancipation Day celebration, to be hld at Ridgewood Park on September 22, at which Congressman White is announced to be the speaker, the committee by resolution asked the members to take personal interest in seeing that the colored voters participated in the selection of delegates at the primaries. The organization is in sympathy wMi the Worth faction.

Dr. W. R. Lawton of the District Attorney's ofilc is the president of the organization and owe3 his appointment to the good graces of the AVorth Buttling following. It was determined that the funds to be derived from the Emancipation Day celebration shall be devoted to the enlargement of the work of the organization, so that colored voters can be brought into its membership and a large colored vot" be polled.

Dr. Lawton said lane night that he thought there would be harmony In the Republican party on election day. He said that the colored voters were more united than In formor years and that they would be enthusiastic for the Republican nominees, notwithstanding the fact tuat there were many colored voters who thought that some men of the race should receive the party's nomination in some one of the Assembly or al dermanic districts. The regular meetijg of the Henry Highland Garnett Republican Jlub was held at 1,641 Pacific street, with Charles E. Johnson of the register's office in the chair.

The meeting was well attended and the organization of the campaign committee which was appointed at the last meeting, was effected by the election of J. H. Smith, chairman, and J. A. Ryerson.

secretary. The committee will have charge of the political work of the club during the campaign and will have charge of the meetings to be held under the club's auspices. The enrollment committee, which was appointed for the purpose of having all of the colored voters of the upper section of the city to enroll under the banner of the club, reported through its chairman, J. R. Murray, that the work of enrollment was progressing, and that many new names had been added to the roster of the club.

The campaign committee will hold nightly sessions at the club house until election. The members of the Independent Political League of Colored Voters will hold a meeting on Saturday night at 61 Henry street, and the committee that was appointed for the purpose of placing in nomination a colored man for council man of the Eighth district will recommend that F. W. Gilbert be placed In the Held as the nominee of the league. Mr.

Gilbert is well to do and for many years has been In the employment ot the Polhemus family. He is well and favorably known in the community and is a member of the St. Augustine P. E. Church, and an official of the Afro American Investment Society.

Michael Murray, aged 18 years, of 42 Pacific street, employed a a dish washer in a rostuu rantat Fulton street and Myrtle avenue, was crushed in the dish elevntor at 7:15 o'clock last evening and his leg and ankle were badly hurt. He was taken to tho Brooklyn Hospital. Claim They Have Not Pair Representation in Councils of the Church. Conventions Being Held.

Chicago, 111., September 9 The Times Herald says: "Rebellion has broken out in the Methodist Episcopal church. The laymen demand equal representation with the ministers in the great quadrennial legislature of the church. Three times have the ministers voted on the question and defeated It and the laymen have lost patience. "The church will be brought face to face next week with a revolt that will probably overshadow the question ot women delegates in the general conference. Representatives of Pennsylvania and New Jersey conferences issued an address for the change.

Leading laymen of Indiana called a state convention ot meet at Indianapolis next Wednesday to consider the question. A lay convention, representing the Cincinnati conference, sent greetings last week to the Indiana convention and urged the calling of a national convention. The laymen of the Central Illinois conference have called a convention to meet at Canton, September 17, and that meeting will probably take action on this question. Another big lay convention will be held in Baltimore next month, and If not forestalled by the Indianapolis convention, it is expected to issue a call for a national convention of Methodist laymen to make plans to bring the ministers into line. "Under the rules of the church each conference is entitled to one ministerial delegate to the general conference for every forty five clergymen.

Each conference Is entitled to at least one lay delegate, but in no case can it have more than two. In the general conference at Cleveland last year 15,000 ministers had 337 representatives, while the 2.700,000 lay members of the church had but 199. In Indiana 334 preachers had seven representatives, while 30,000 laymen had but two. Under this system many small conferences have a disproportionately large representation, while the large conference that contributes heavily to the support of the church can have only one lay delegate more than the small conference over in China or India that has to be supported by money sent from America. "There is little doubt that a national convention of laymen will be held and it promises to bring out many of the most prominent members of the church." WILL CLOSE SUNDAY.

The Suabian Volksfest Will Furbish Up Its Exhibits for the Final Day. The fourth day of the Suabian or Cann stauer Volksfest, given by the Suabian Saen gertound. at Charles Wissel's Ridgewood Park, yesterday, while in point of attendance it gave indications of the waning of the festival, still a sufficiently large assembiy had gathered to sustain the Suabian's national reputation as entertainers. The work incidental to the fesiival having in a great measure been performed, yesterday was unreservedly given up to enjoyment. At the earnest solicitation of his friendsWlil iam F.

Grotz, the first vice president of the Saengerbund. who possesses A remarkably fine baritone voice, in ourAlly" in the Industrial Exhibition Building, and after thunderous plaudits by the aesembluge, gave "Nancy Lee" as an encore. The entertainment programme was further enlarged by the production on the stage of a one act play, "The Return From the War," which afforded the heroine an unlimited display of emotion, and, as given last night, appealed strongly to 'the sentiments of the audience. It treats of an incident in the Franco Prussian war and tells of a lover, who has been drafted into the army, and who, to test the sincerity of his alHanced, in his absence of two years, causes reports to be circulated first that he wais killed in the battle of Weissen'burg. and later that he was severely wounded and sustained the loss of both arms.

He returns at the close of the war and personally informs the giri of the Impossibility of claiming her for his wife on account of his disability. The parents of the girl are overjoyed at the common sense view the lover takes of the altered conditions and orders the daughter to give him up. After a struggle between love and duty, the heroine declares herself unreservedly true to her disabled lover and the denouement co mes when the returning soldier throws off his cloak and exhibits a pair of strong arms. The parental blessing follows and the curtain drops. Probably on no day of the festival were there so many children and young men and women costumed In the picturesque Suabian costume aa yesterday.

The headgear consists of a small round ber rette with two black ribbon streamers down the back. The men's costume consists of black velvet knee breeches and frock coat, red waistcoat, long, white open work blockings and low shoes with buckles. On the head a low, three cornered hat Is worn.

As previously announced In the Eagle the awards of three prizes were to have been made to the competing architects for the now building the Suabian Saengerbund Is about to erect on the plot bounded by Greene. Myrtle and Knickerbocker avenues and Bieerkor street, at this festival, but eo maoy ineritcr lous plans have been received that commim! themsplves to the favorable consideration of the building committee that no decisive steps are likely to be taken for a week or two in the matter. Aftor to day there is a cessation of ih festivities until next Sunday to Kivi iho exhibitors an opportunity to replenish mil brighten things up generally. Next Sunday v. ill witness the close tho festival and the distribution of prlzeB.
