 How did you do it?"I asked
 "Oh, I always wanted to go on the stage Miss Hanson responded. with dimples, as though that settled every thing, and 1t does, nine times out of ten
 "Of course, there was opposition, there always is to the stage among our old fashioned southern parents I suggested
 "I yielded to the wishes of my family said Miss Hanson, and came out a blooming bud and enjoyed my debutante year immensely. l fiuttered about-a butterfly of fashion. for two years. but always with the determination that when the time came I would satisfy my long ing for the stage by adopting it as a profession and sure enough l did not have to wait long"
 Had you studied for the stage?" ] asked.
 Never" said Miss Hanson emphatical- ly. 'T had studied music all my life and of course, had taken courses in Shakes peare and the drama, but I have never been to Il ufdIIldiic sCuOOl.
 And you debuted in-what?' I asked.
 MT Frohman first put me in the cas- of The Spoilers, " she replied. "Re, Beach's story which was dramatized. il you remember l only remained in the play four weeks and then my chance came. I joined MT. Sothern as leading lady and l was with him two seasons"
 How delghtful-and such a chance,' I suggested

 Do you find the role in Rallies" a congenial one?" I quered.
 Tt is the smallest role T have ever played-of course it is not a great part but it is an interesting one"
 We talked then about our favorite ac- tors and actresses and Miss Hanson was very elightful-folowing one subject up with another-while listened, for she Is very naive and sweet and gentle, and knows nothing at all about the dismal game of Interview" In fact, she treats one like a human being-instead of a phonogra ph to be loaded and fired-point blank!
 will the company revive the French comedy, The Scandal which MT. Bellew played the early part of the season?' I asked.
 That remains an enigma as yet" re- piled Miss Hanson. "It has delicious Parisienne air and atmosphere, the ever lasting triangle-you know what I mean. It is ultra modern and the time may not yet be ripe for It's presentatio again."
 Do you find any great difference in the enthusiasm of southern and northern audiences?' I asked.
 "Yes-some,'' said Miss Hanson laugh ingly. "Southerners always say what they think, you know-and so with south ern audiences. Of course northern people are more reserved
 You may be interested to know said Miss Hanson, as she arose to say good bye, that playing with us in Rallies is Miss Jane May, who is a sister of the famous Edna May-now Mrs. Lewissohn of London. Miss May plays the role of Lady Ethel, and she and l are great chums.'

SOME INTERESTING FACTS
ON MURDER OF LINCOLN
Good Friday Occurred on Anniversary of Death ir
1876, Contrary to General Belief-Wll
Occur in 1922 and 1893.

Strange the impression that President
Lincoln died on the same day that he
was shot should be so general said one
of a group o. Representatives last night
Good Friday. April II, 1865, was the date
upon which the fatal shot was fired by
Booth, the madman, in the old Ford 8
Theater, in Tenth street, but the Presi-
dent fingered until twenty-five minutes
past : o'clock on the morning OF the
next day. This point seems to have been
overlooked in the general statement that
Lincoln was assassinated on April IA
To-day then. ard not yesterday, is the
anniversary OF the death of the first mar
tyred President of the United States He
died, as is generally known, in the Old
royd home. in Tenth street, whittier he
had been carried after the attack The
room in which he died, surrounded by
group of mourners whose grief was
as sincere as 1t was sudden, has been
preserved. as nearly as possible in the
condition in which it was when the sad
event occurred. OF the small number

TENNIS DATES ANNOUNCED.
Season Will Open at Chevy Chase
Club May 1.

Dates for the annual tennis matches al
tho Chevy Chase Club were announced
yesterday by Edward w. Dunn, jr-
chairman of the tennis committee. Or
May the closed events will be held
and on May % the fourth annual open
invitation events will be played.
Interest is centered in the single event
which will probably be played by ],
Upshur Moorehead. present holder Of the

has won the trophy twice.
On May q the events scheduled are:
Mems singles, for the Army Cup, given
by Gen. John 4. Johnston, Commissioner

home better than anything he had seen
In the pound or in the Mills Building so
far. Disregarding all principles of con-
tracts, bargains. and sales, he summarily
broke his chain and betook himself forth
with to his old home in the southeast.
Then Mr.. Crawford entered a claim
against the poundmaster for the money
he had paid for the dog. The pound
master. in turn, made a formal demand
upon Seibold. the original owner and the
present holder Of the dog, for the money
that Crawford had paid the poundmaster
for the dog. Seibold declined to comply
with either part of the demand on the
ground that he was not guilty in the first
place.
Dismissed I'm Court.
Then Judge Pugh, who heard the testi-
mony Of all three persons interested. dis
missed the case, as II had not been
shown that Seibold had allowed the dog
to go at large. since It was said that the
dog escaped. and there had been no evil
dence adduced to the contrary.
So "Teddy's" present address is at the
Seibold home In the southeast. Mr. Craw-
ford wants the money that he paid for
the dog he didn't get. and the pound
master wants to know what to do. The
only one connected with the case who
does not appear to be worried is Teddy
who has passed so far unscathed through
the valley Of the shadow Of death Of the
District pound

DOG SOLD BY POUNDMASTER
CAUSES TROUBLE IN COURT
Strayed Back to Original Master-Unique
Case Dismissed by Judge Pugh

Poundmaster Einstein wants to know
If. when he sells dog, he has to make
that dog stay sold, and II that dog runs
home to his original owner, the pound
master ought to be expected to reimburse
the buyer for the runaway dog. The
poundmaster cannot quite see how 1t

who stood about the bedside Of the dying
President, cut down by q bastard in the
very hour when peace was insured by
the surrender of Lee. the orphaned son,
Robert T. Lincoln, remains.
The anniversary this year has peculiar
interest in that there was one of the
rare condolences Of dates The Julian
calendar, which marks the recurrence of
days and dates, agreed with the lunar
calendar that decides the movable feast
OF Easter. 1t was Good Friday April
IA, 1855, when the murderer's bullet was
fired, and yesterday also was both Good
Friday and April IA.
This coincidence has occurred only once
since the fatal day, and that was in
1876. 1t will occur again in this CEN
tury only in 1922, 1893, and 1895. The
fact that of the four dates on which
the dates agree in this century three
should have double figures is also note
worthy-l911, 1872, and 1893
As Easter Sunday Is the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day Of the moon that
falls on or after March p in each year.
there is range Of more than a month
within which Easter may fall Its dates
OF occurrence have ranged from March
q to April q since the adoption of this
method Of fixing the great Christian fes-
tfval, SO that the recurrence of the date
upon given day is a notable occurrence.

want to vote as soon as I got my aim.
Long debates might spoil it," Col Cody
added.
Col. Cody was set for a vigorous
defense, not only of President Tafts ac-
tion in sending troops to the maneuvers
at San Antonio. but also of the mobiliza-
ton of the army division there.
The end of the affair is not yet" he
said. The unexpected may yet happen
there on the frontier. The slight clashes
of recent date between Americans and
Mexicans of both followings have been
sufficient justification for the action.
There is no telling what serious affrays
might have resulted from the presence of
so large a Mexican population on the
American side of the border. except for
the presence of troops there.
Constant training and practice are alb
solutely necessary TO perfection in an
athlete. 1t is just as necessary to a good
soldier
And Col. Cody branched off into re-
marks on the rapidly thinning ranks Of
his old army comrades and commanders.

HILLS RETIREMENT
CAUSED BY FRICTION
Trouble in Potash Dispute Is
Believed to Be Reason.
DENIED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Resignation as Ambassador at Ber-
lin Said to Have Followed In
satisfactory Handling of Several
Phases of Controversy Between
Germany and the United States.

David J. Hill. Ambassador to Germany,
has resigned from the diplomatic service,
10 take effect on July l next.
Dr. Hills resignation was announced
yesterday at the White House. No rea-
son was given for his retirement from
the diplomatic service.
DR.. Hill has been Ambassador at Ber-
lin since April 2. 1905, when he succeeded
Charlemagne Tower. He was Assistant
Secretary of State from October 25, 1895,
until January Z, 1903, when he was ap-
pointed Minister to Switzerland He
served as Minister to the Netherlands
from March Is. 1895. until he was trans
ferred to Berlin on April 2. 1905. He is
a resident of Rochester. n. Y
Due to CompIicatfons.
There are several features Of DR.. Hills
resignation which seem to Indicate that
his retirement from the diplomatic serv-
ice is due to complications arising out
OF the potash dispute between the United
States and Germany for the last six
months.
1t was denied at the White House
az a result Of friction between DR.. Hill
and Secretary Knox. Last year DR.. Hill
was assured by President Taft that he
would be allowed to remain in Berlin
until the end of the present administra-
ton.
Several weeks ago It was announced
at the State Department that DR.. Hill
had been summoned to Washington to
discuss the potash question. The belief
here Is that there were several phases Of
the question which were not handled by
DR.. Hill to the entire satisfaction Of the
State Department. His successor has
not been chosen
UnfriendIy to Hill.
Berlin. April 14-The resignation Of
Ambassador Hill has created no surprise
in diplomatic circles. Rumors that the
German government was unfriendly to-
ward DR.. Hill have been current for
scme weeks, although there has been
ascribed no reason for the change of
feeling.
The relations OF the ambassador and
the Kaiser have always been correct,
but never intimate. The latter fact has
been generally ascribed 10 his majesty's
objection to the appointment in 1908. 1t
is remarked that the Kaiser never WIS.,
tied Mr.. Hill. although he dined annu-
ally with Charlemagne Tower, his prede-
cessor. Ambassador Hills tact and dig
nifty has never been questioned, and his
tenure of the Enthusiastically is re-
garded here as a professional and social
success.
