Thus, based on the recent total. New

President Roosevelt.
Gains In Pennsylvania, also, are
being noted. The Republican VIC
tory In Philadelphia was not formid-
able enough to offset Democratic
gains elsewhere, notably in Pitts
ourEh-the Democrats are asserting,
and claim Pennsylvania as a doubt
ful state for 1886.
And the Democratic victory by a
record majority In Kentucky, in spite
Of q divided party there, is consider
ed significant.
But Ohio is another story. The

estate 60 toward the establishing of home
for men who had seen better days but who
had become dependent. 1t was just about as
Mr.. Corcoran had built and endowed the Louise
HONS for Southern Gentlewomen.
IENRY DICKSON died in London, Sep
! tember %, 1907, and the real estate ON
which the home stands, $475,0 in cash and
the income from the Maison Busby at Nice,
France, were turned over to the trustees of the
home for its building and maintenance. The
nome can take care of about go guests. John
JOY Edison, Washington's grand old man. is
Chairman of the Board Of Trustees
John Dickson, for whom this home is named,
did not continue to work for the first William
King, but later went into the chair business
ON High street for himself. The building into
which he moved Is said once to have served
as the residence of President James Madison,
but there Is probably no. evidence to support
this statement Later as 1918 Thirty second
street (now Wisconsin avenue), it was occupied
by Dick Morgan as restaurant.
John Dickson later went into the lumber
business with Mr.. Pickrell as stated, and it
was during this time that the second William
King, who as boy had occupied the trunde
bed in his room, became the third partner in
the lumber firm of Dickson, Pickren & Co.
Later Dickson and King sold out their interest
in the lumber business to Pickrell, King bought
an interest in the coal and wood business of
Dickson & Gordon, and the firm became Dick
son, Gordon 81 Co., which has as its successor
today William King & Son.
Dickson, Gordon g. Co. did not confine their
business to Georgetown, but some years prior
to the Civil War maintained an Office at the
northwest corner OF Fifteenth and H streets,
where stands the Shoreham Building. Just
before the war Mr.. Gordon sold his interest to
his partners and went South, when the firm

DERHAPS it might be Of interest here to
interrupt the story and give brief account
Of the coming to Georgetown of the pioneer
William King, who, as the son of Francis King,
was born in Ireland September 20, 1771, and
was brought to America three years later land
ing in Baltimore. Since the records of troops
Of Maryland serving in the American Revolu-
tion give but one Francis King, 1t can be
assumed that he was the ancestor Of this
branch of the Georgetown family Of this name.
On February 26, 1777, he Joined Capt. Andrew
Hynes' company first lieutenant John T. Ja-
cobs, as a private, and was discharged on
January 1, 1780, presumably on account of
wounds or illness, since he was on the Army
pay roll as defective" as late as 1882 when
he was residing in Washington County Md.
William King, son Of Francis, learned the
trade of cabinetmaker and moved to George
town June 6, 1795, at first living in house
On the west side Of Jefferson street, a little
below where the canal Is now, and here he
started in business in line with his trade.
Later he moved to Congress street In a
large, three-story- -and-attic brick house and
two-story back building, the site including q
tine, large lot, on which was also his cabinet
makers shop, in which he made fine furni-
ture. His plant here also included a stable
sheds for drying out and seasoning the diff
ferent fine woods used by him in his business,
and here he employed John Dickson, an expert
chair maker, in whose memory his son Henry
Dickson, founded the John Dickson Home
Few people with large fortunes arrange for
the best disposition of their wealth after their
death, but with Henry Dickson that proved to
be the case, for in founding the home in mem
ory of his father he left his money to most
worthy cause, one Of the greatest monuments
to charity he could possibly have thought Of
However, in this connection, it is the late John
b. Larner whom we also have to thank for
this wonderful bequest, for we are told it was
he who made the suggestion to Mr.. Dickson
when he was drawing his will back in 1905
and when that document was under discussion
Mr. Larner's idea, which was later carried
out, was that the residue of Mr.. Dickson's

BY JOHN CLACETT PROCTOR.

I'm BUSINESS for 100 years! Indeed, quite
a while to carry on for If we stop to think
a century is long, long time, and many
things can happen during that period OF
existence.
When the Federal Government moved
here in 1900 there were several people al
ready engaged in mercantile pursuits, but these
have long since passed away-many even for
gotten. And so, when we say that certain
firm has been doing business here for CEN
tury we make q statement that is quite out OF
the ordinary.
Georgetown, the older part of washington.
having been authorized by the Legislature OF
Maryland In 1751, soon became a prominent
commercial center and naturally numbered
among its inhabitants many successful mer-
chants but only few Of these ever succeeded
in rounding out 100 years. One Of these firms,
however, which reaches the century mark this
year, and which has had q notable existence,
- william King & Co., prominent coal mer-
chants, who began in Georgetown as Dickson
& Gordon in 1835-the members Of the firm
being John Dickson and David S. Gordon.
Prior to this John Dickson was in the lum-
Der business with a Mr.. Pickrell on the present
site of the Georgetown office Of William King
d Son. coal dealers. Their business was grow
ing fast, and some one was badly needed to
attend to the Office work. so Dickson went to
william King with an offer to make him
member Of the firm If he would take over the
duties of the Office.
Dickson had been for years a friend of the
King family. Indeed, If anything more than
friend for the pioneer William King, father
Of the first coal merchant referred to, had
always treated him as son, for whom he
worked and in whose home then on Congress
street (now Thirty-frst street), he lived, and
the son, William King-the second one in line
slept in the same room in a trundle bed.

CLEAR SAILING
F0R'36 SELLING
Steady Hands Demanded
for Industrial and Finan-
ciaI Auto Reins.

Nov, if ever, steady hands are
needed on the industrial and finan-
cial reins of this country to consoli-
date the gains already made in our
return to better times" declared
G. w. Nash, chairman of the board,
Nash Motors Co., today.
I'm my opinion there Is nothing
in today's general economic condi-
tons, nor in the outlook for tomor-
row, that should slow down the in
spring industrial march that has
marked the past eight months of
this year.
This year, as always, the auto
mobile manufacturer who achieves
the greatest actual value in his
product is going to receive the maxi
mum Of public support. The auto
mobile market is becoming more and
more stabilized each year and
honest value in his product Is the
determining factor in a rnanufac-
turer's success or failure. There
may be fewer companies in the field
when 1886 ends, but these COM
panies will prosper by virtue of the
actual service they render motorists.
THE Nash Motors Co. expects to
build rs per cent more automobiles
in 1885 than it did during 1885 and
that statement expresses the con-
fidence with which we view the fu-
ture."

ROAD SHOCKS

Easy Riding Promised in
Latest Model; Seven
Creations Offered.

Among the advances that distin-
guish the new horsepower Dodge
cars are an improved spring sus-
pension which contributes new ele-
ments OF easy-riding, a novel
steering layout relieving the steer
ing mechanism of road and wheel
disturbances, a ride levelator syn
chronizing the action of the springs,
automatic control features that eX-
empt the driver from manual oper-
ations, a f1nger-tip speed changing
mechanism, and self.equalizing by
draulic brakes, T. o. Ewing, In
dianapolis Dodge representative de-
clared today.
Hydraulic brakes, pioneered by
Dodge. are direet-acting, without
intervening Servo-action. Front
and rear shoes of each brake are
engaged by hydraulic pistons Of diff
ferent size, with the result that the
rearward shoes exert the same re-
tarding force as the forward shoes.
In addition to the four wheel by
draulic brakes, parking brake, of
the propeller shaft type, is provided.
Automatic Controls
Driving ease Of the new Dodge is
realized through features perform
Ing certain control functions with

of the operator.
For instance, an automatic choke
attends to whatever carburetor
nchoking" is necessary. The task of
advancing or retarding spark in &C

conditions is given to an automatic

FORD va STEERING
MUCH EASIER NOW
More Than rs Per Cent
Drop in Effort Attained.

Steering of the Ford VS. cars for
1886 has been made easier by two
important changes in design, it was
stated at the Auto Show where the
new Fords are on display. The de-
crease in steering effort required is
estimated at more than IS per cent
The first of the changes is an in
crease in the steering ratio from
15-to-1 to 17-to-1. The ratio eX-
presses the leverage eXerted on the
front wheels of the car by the
steering wheel. Obviously 17-to-1
means that substantially less effort
is required to turn the front wheels
than is needed with 15-to-1.
The second improvement is the
use of small straight roller bearings
ona the sector shaft. This is the
shaft to which the steering arm is
attached. The use of these bear
ings, sometimes called needle type"
bearings, reduces friction in the
steering gear, thus further increasing
steering ease,

stantly up to date, are on display
at the indianapolis Automobile

Among the principal new features
introduced since the 1885 shows are
improved engines, with higher 6 to
- compression ratio, full-length wa
ter jackets, balanced carburetors and
other changes effecting better per-
Torrance and increased economy
