The large business establishment of
Woodward & Lothrop has now entered
upon the thirtieth year of its activity in
Washington and the thirty-seventh since
its formation in Chelsea, a suburb of
Boston.
The animating principles of the es-
tablishment occupying the block bounded
by 10th, 18th, +, and G streets is en-
bodied in the persons of two active, en-
ergetfc men.
Both Mr.. woodward and Mr.. Lothrop
who constitute the firm Of Woodward q
Lothrop. are the highest type of self
made men. They became associated in
business in the year 1873. when they
opened dry goods store in Chelsea,
suburb Of Boston. Always averse to get
ting into ruts, they found after an ex-
perience of six or seven years that their
business had about reached its limits Of
expansion. 1t was the largest retail dry
goods business at that time carried on
in any of the suburban cities around Bos-
ton. They concluded that they would
seek a wider field. lDuring the year Of
1879 they made several tours of inspec-
ton, travelling through the states of New
York and Ohio. On one occasion they
stopped in Washington on their way
home. They were favorably impressed
with things here, and they considered
that the future possibilities were promis-
Ing. So in the spring of 1880 they rented
a store at 705 Market space and began a
business career which, 1t has been con-
ceded, has been highly successful.

Democrats After Plums.

1t has just developed that the demo-
cratic bosses of Baltimore have practical
ly decided to bring about legislation at
Annapolis in connection with the S1O,-
100000 enabling act, which will change
the entire personnel Of the sewerage
commission and place the spending of the
peoples money in the hands OF the demo-
cratic organization. The point made by
the party leaders is that they feel the
party workers have not been taken care
of in this important piece of work Con-
sequently the plan is to secure control of
the commission by making an amend
ment to the enabling act, increasing the
commission to such size as to give the
democrats a big ma jority membership
and a majority that can be reached"
The appointment of the additional MEM
bers will be placed nominally in the
hands of the mayor. The commission as
constituted at present is democratic, but
the character of democrats on the COM
mission is such that they have been I'M
accessible to the party bosses, who have
been turned down time and again when
places were demanded for men whose
only qualifications were that they had
been regular and faithful party men.

Wednesday next the Woman's Suffrage
Association of Maryland will send a large
delegation to Annapolis to appear before
the committee on elections and urge the
passage of their bill for a statewide

hoped to have a delegation of five hun

REALLY AFTER VOTE
Maryland Equal Suffragists in
Active Campaign.
APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
Democratic Bosses Propose to Pro-
vide Additional Patronage by En-
larging Baltimore Commission.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, February is, 1910.
The impression is gaining ground in
this city that the woman suffragists are
in real earnest about their plans to Sc
cure votes in the municipal elections.
The showing made by the Equal Suffrage
League representatives at Annapolis last
Wednesday came as a revelation to those
who had regarded the movement as an
innocent pastime of the leaders in wom-
ems clubs in Baltimore and elsewhere in
Maryland. The majority of the menu
bers of the legislature and Gov. Crothers,
as well. became firmly convinced that the
women who are knocking at the doors
of the halls of legislation really want
the ballot. The advocates of woman
suffrage feel highly encouraged because
Gov. Crothers has announced that If the
general assembly shall pass such bill
he will place his signature upon it with
out hesitation.
The gathering at Annapolis last We'd
nesday was representative of the women
and men who are urging equal suffrage
in the city and state, and the leaders of
the movement are Sanguine that the leg
lslation asked will be passed at this ses-
sion. The Star correspondent, however
is able to state that there will be no
legislation OF this character passed at
the present session, because those in con-
troll OF affairs at Annapolis are not in
1avor OF woman suffrage.

it is godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. S. Hall. Wichita, Kan, says thirty

it yields $3.50 worth OF fruit per
