miles and then another fox was started on the

The First Woman Suffrage Meeting in
the COMMUNICATING were held in the
Court House at Towson, on Thanksgiving af-
ternoon and evening, in the interest of the
cause of woman suffrage. Mrs. ]. William
Funck, of Baltimore, chairman of the COM
mittee on organization of the Maryland Wo-
mans Suffrage Association, was in charge.
Mrs. Mary Bentley Thomas, president of the
State Association, delivered an address, in
which she gave history of the woman's suf-
frage movement in this country and related
the victories which had been won. She read
letters which she had received from the Cover
nors of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, where
woman suffrage exists, and they all common
ded it highly and stated that it had good eff
feet on public life.
Miss Harriet May Mills vice president of the
New York Suffrage Association, delivered a
forcible address in which she said woman
asked the right to vote because she wished to
protect her own interests and wished to be
placed in position to be able to do So She
said that she believed that the direction of the
home and rearing of children was the true
mission of woman, and claimed that the ex-
ercise of franchise by her would not interfere
with these duties. She said man had the right
to secure the assistance of women in solving
the problems of government. Miss Mills is a
graceful and forcible speaker.
Mrs. Mary Badders Holton presided at the
question-box and her replies were bright and
witty.
At night an address was delivered by Miss
Eta H. Maddox, of Baltimore, who has the
distinction of being the first woman lawyer of
Maryland. The attendance at the meetings
was not what it should have been due, no
doubt, to the fact that they were held on
Thanksgiving day.
Barn and Silos Burned-Heavy Loss
A little before noon on Sunday last fire broke
out in the large barn on the Mount Prospect
farln of Mrs. Eleanor Taylor, on the Hillen
road, southeast of Towson, and before it was
checked that building and two large silos were
burned and third silo badly damaged. There
was q large quantity of produce in the barn
and there were hundreds of tons of ensiage in
the silos, most of which is a total loss. The
Towson and Govanstown chemical engines
were summoned by telephone and rendered
good service after their arrival. The estimated
loss is about So, 500, with insurance amounting
to $500. The place is conducted as dairy
farm by Mr.. Robert M. Taylor son of Mrs.
TAYLOR Fortunately all the cows were out of
the barn when the fire started and, so far as
Mr.. Taylor knows, no one was about the
premises at the time, hence the cause of the
fire is enveloped in mystery. Had the fire oc-
CURED at night the loss would necessarily
have been much heavier.
