at all times. the rink Is proving very
popular and the attendance is growing

The ballroom was a close second in

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By A. w. MACY.
THE UNFORTUNATE DIR.
TODD

1ODD.
In 1875 Rev. William Dodd.
Ii. D., a popular minister. at
one time chaplain to the King.
and author of many religious
books. including a commentary
on the Bible, found himself in
great financial straits and forged
a bond for $4,000. He was de-
tected, tried, found guilty. and
sentenced to death. notwith-
standing he returned three
fourths of the money and guar
anteed to make good the rest.
Strong efforts were made to Sc
cure his pardon, men of high
standing working night and day
to that end. One petition alone
contained $4,000 signatures. But
the authorities were obstinate
and refused to yield. George III
wavered for a time, but finally
declined to interfere and save
the life of his old chaplain. The
doctor was confined in the Old
Bailey prison, and on June 6,
177S, all the other convicts being
assembled in the prison chapel,
he preached his own funeral SER
mon, taking for his text Acts
xv:2S. Three weeks later he was
hanged. and with him a young
man who had been sentenced to
death for stealing two half
guineas and about seven shiI-
ings."

introduced the best of which are Grim

John, and others.
Frank Howard has a good tenor voice,

Congress Can Amend or Alter.

When Congress granted the Washing
ton and Georgetown Railroad Company
charter in 1862, the act contained
these words:
and be it further enacted, That this
act may at any time be altered, amend
ed, or repealed by the Congress of the
United States
When the Rock Creek Railway Com
pany was incorporated by Congress in
1888, the act contained this clause:
Section 6. Congress reserves the
right to alter, amend, or repeal this act
at any time"
When the consolidation of the Wash
ington and Georgetown Railroad and the
Rock Creek Railway Company under the
name of the Capital Traction Company
was authorized by an act approved
March I, 1906, this provision was in
cluded:
"And Congress hereby reserves the
right to alter, amend, or repeal this act"
1t has been the invariable rule of
Congress, when voting valuable public
franchises to corporations in this Dis
trict, to reserve to itself the right to
change at any time the conditions under
which the charters were granted and the
companies were organized, with judicial
notice of this reservation.

The conviction is growing in
Democratic circles that the SEN
slble method of tariff revision is
the plan of taking up the tariff
schedule by schedule rather than
attempting to take it all in one
bite. The wooden schedule, the
lumber schedule and the other
schedules bearing directly upon
the necessaries of life would, un-
der this plan, be among the first
10 receive attention. The lop-
ping off OF exorbitant tariff duties
in each of these schedules would
afford immediate relieg to the
masses who suffer from the RAJ
pacity of greedy trusts, without
in the least disturbing business

other duties to a revenue basis

When it wants good things to
