The fire was found to be in the candy

soon on the scene with the newly-elected
FIRE marshal. Joseph H. Bells. in charge.

WOMAN'S WORK.
Report OF State Librarian, Mrs letters
Imrovement In The Past -Four
Years.

There has been marked improvement
in the Maryland State Library during
the four years OF Mrs. Jeffer's term OF
Office Just closed, and which is set forth
in her recent report. The woman libra
ran has made success. and her appoint
ment was good one. The CAPITAL on
several occasions has comphmented Mrs.
letters on the manner in which she has
so capably filled the position of State
Librarian, and commended her for re-
appointment.
Mrs. Jeffers began her term of Office
by an attack with broom and mop upon
the dirt and dust, and she made the
library as clean as any new pin, and has
kept II so Each book was busted and
all have been arranged and indexed, so
that there is no difficulty in finding what
is wanted. A card index has been made,
after the method used by the most COM
petent librarians.
The principal feature of the Maryland
State Library is the new department,
which contains IL, 900 volumes, thorough
ly indexed. These books fill the o,igi-
nal library. or octagon room, the cham
Der OF the old general court, and 5000
volumes have been removed to one OF
the apartments of the annex. There are
all the United States and English reports,
the textbooks are added as they are
published. and there is complete set of
the reports of every State in the Union.
These increase at the rate OF I25 volumes
year. and the allotted space has been
nearly filed, enough remaining to ac
commodate less than 100 new books.
Mrs. Jeffers deplores the fact that there
is not better collection of Maryland
history in the library. This should be
one of its strongest departments but there
are. in fact, only asa volumes and 43o
pamphlets on this subject. The librarian
explored the cellars and basement of the
State House and there found many
valuable publications going to destruc-
ton. Among these were files of old
newspapers of historic value. The
reference department is good and in the
miscellaneous department there are
many volumes of history, poetry and lit
erature, But this department has not
been maintained, because OF the lack of
suitable rooms. The books have to be
left exposed on shelves, open to the
access OF all, and many volumes have
necessarily been lost.

WANTED "A SPECIAL TRAIN.

A strong effott is being made to secure
a special train to return to Annapolis

whole Democracy of Maryland for Mr..

on the inside OF political matters. great
deal faster than the general public has
any idea OF. A great many members of
the Maryland Legislature now in session
here are favorable to Bryan.

generations or schoOlbOys learn the
dramatic speeches ascrlbed to famous
commanders just before famous bat
ties, but unfortunately many of these
fine. high.sOunding addresses were
never heard Of till after the event. We
read, for instance, In ancient history
Of generals addressing whole armies,
when a few companies Of soldiers ut
most could have heard them.
To show the difference between gen.
ulne speeches and manufactured ones,
n contemporary reports an authentic
address of the captain Of British ship
rs the fleet was approaching the ene-
my. He wished to encourage his gal.
liant tars, and hoped perhaps that few
heroic words might forever be associ-
ated with his memory.
"Send all hands aft" he cried. And
when the order was carrlel out. he said,
"My lads, there's the enemy; no doubt
about ii. And now, my lads, IL you
don't take the enemy. my lads. why,
then, my lads, the enemy will take you.
Pipe down, boatswaln."
After all, the speech was to the point,
ana the men cheered 1t to the echo.

AT the time Of his retirement to Mount
Vernon, after the expiration Of his term
as President, "thc tall hgure Of Washing
ton was only slightly bent, and he was
still supposed to weigh upward Of two
hundred pounds" writes William Per-
rinc Of "1'he Last Years of Washing
tons Life" In the Ladies' Home Journal.
Excepting his gray hair and his false
teeth, and some trouble in hearing, there
was little of the usual appearance Of age
in his muscular person, his gait and his
strong, pock-marked face. He was affa-
bic and merry with his best friends. but
while he had the true hospitality Of Il
Southern gentleman In inviting every Wis
itor from II distance to his tnblc~ or to II
bed over night, his politencss was gcner-
ally formal. Yet II he particularly en-
joycd the conversation of a guest he
would pay him the compliment Of listen
ing to him until after - o'clock, or even
of lighting him with the candle to bed
room for the night. Mrs. Washington
ut this time was n healthy, pleasant and
transformations little wonian. still showing
traces Of good looks and with seldom any
other thought than Of playing respectfully
her role of mistress of the house Of u
country gentleman. Of caring for the nc-
groes. or of amusing herself with her
knitting. She had great pride In her re-
csipt for making cherry bounce and on
