"Stoddert," Not i" Stoddart."

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In very interesting communication in
the virgin issue of The Sunday Star, Part
", page 49, entitled Named for the
King" appears the following thrice-told
fairy tale: 1.-The first Secretary of the
Navy. Benjamin Stoddart was a George
town man." etc. The fact was that his
ing strange that this distinguished, good
mans name should be the subject of so
many misnomers, it having been thrice
recently misspelled Stoddart in The Star.
For several years the gas lamps on Stod-
dert street bore the legend Stoddard street.
until the late assessor of the District of
Coumb ia, Mr.. r. P. Dodge, at my instance,
had the error corrected to Stoddert street.
