ACQUIRED BY THE DISTRICT
Possession Gained of Canal and Foxhall
Roads by Special Arrangement.
The Roads to BE Maintained ns Pu,,l,c

The Private Rights.

AT last, after many years of contention,
the District has secured possession of the
Canal and Foxhall roads. and may now
improve them without regard to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal Company.
Under former board of Commissioners
an effort was made to establish the Dis
trict's ownership to the Canal road by
fencing a portion of it off and prohibiting
its use for towing by the canal company.
The company promptly tore the fences
down, and the District as promptly took
the canal company into court. but the
case was never pressed. Subsequently ii
became necessary to improve this road,
but the District, because of the title to the
property remaining in the canal company.
was prevented from eXpending any money
thereon. The bicyclists were clamoring
Tor It's Improvement, and the District au-
thorlties were anxious to comply.
The Matter Settled.
Finally, Engineer Commissioner Black
and his assistant, Captain Beach, took the
matter up with view of untangling the
situation. Negotiations were opened with
the canal company with a view of acquir-
ing the property, and the deal was closed
this afternoon.
The deed sets forth that in consideration
OF the premises. and of the additional and
further agreement on the part Of the
District Of Columbia that the District will
ioierei Keep ana MAINTAIN the Canal road
as a public thoroughfare and highway,
and will forever permit and allow the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to
use such portions of the road as at pres
ent used by it as a towpath, and, further
that the District shall forever maintain
the wall erected upon the south side of the
Canal road, control of the ground is re-
linquished to the District.
This has been signed. sealed and deliv-
cred. Captain Beach Immediately made
preparations for the improvement of the
road, and the work will begin within a
few days. There is rot enough money to
continue the improvement to the Chain
fridge, but there are sufficient funds avail
able to put the entire road in fairly good
repair.

Legs Boiled to the Tune of Rock of

Several ministers of one of the leading
denominations in Washington are enjoy
ing an incident which is said to have oc-
Cured to a good bishop who is widely
Known here and elsewhere.
AS the story goes, the bishop, while max
ing his visitations recently. was invited to
officiate at a church in the country, and
spent the night at a farm house in the
vicinity. Shortly before breakfast time the
next morning the lady of the house asked
the bishop, who was reading mis- Bible in
the parlor, If he would like some eggs for
the meal, and If SO, how he would Prefer
10 have them cooked He replied that eggs
would be very acceptable, and that he liked
them boiled in a medium way.
The lady retired to the kitchen, and pres
emily the bishop heard her voice as she
sang the words of Rock of Ages, Cleft for
Me- The bishop Joined in the singing, and
three verses of the hymn. At The conclu-
sion of the singing of the second stanza the
lady stopped and little later returned to
the parlor.
Why did you not sing the third verse;"
the bishop asked.
Because 1t was not necessary" the lady
replied. -""'
Not necessary! Why. don't under
stand you!' rejoned the bisbop.
Why" said the lady, YOU see whom
ever l cook eggs l sing Rock of Ages. IF
l want to boil them medium I sing two
verses. and If l desire them hard -boiled 7
sing three. You wanted them medium, so
l sang two verses
