FIRE DESTROYS SCHOOL.

More than hundred girls who
board at the Maryland College for
Women at Lutherville, Md, were
nearly thrown into a panic shortly
after midnight when the college build
| ing caught fire.
The students had retired, and when
they we're informed that the building
was on fire there was general rush
for the fire-escapes. Catching up
what clothing they could on their
way they descended the stars and
were soon huddled in the campus
clothed in what garb they could hast
| lily don.
Some of the girls became by steric i
and for time it was thought that the
services of a physician would be
necessary. After the worst of the
fright was over the students WEI t to
the houses of neighbors, where they
spent the night.
The fire IS supposed to have started
in the laboratory and soon spread to
the main building. The structures
made ready fuel for the flames and
they burned quickly.
Nothing besides the clothing the
students caught up in their fight was
saved.
Shortly after the flames had spread
to the main building the roof fell in
and sent the sparks skyward several
hundred feet. The sky was lit up for
miles around, and people from the
neighborhood were attracted by the
glare. The neighbors lent what as
sistance they could to saving some of
the contents of the building, but their
efforts were of particslly no avail.
The stables of the Institution are
situated about 20 or 30 feet from the
burning building, but it is thought that
they will he saved. The wind was
high and was blowing the flames
toward the other buildings.
Seeing it was useless to try to save
the burning buildings. the fremen
turned their attention to the adjoin-
ing structures. They proved a seri9u s
drawback to their efforts. The
Lutherville Volunteer Firemen, Tow
son, Queenstown and Roland Park
Companies were soon on the scene.
Citizens of Luthervillef enlightened by
the rapid spread of the fame tele-
phoned to Baltimore for assistance.
10 May, 1908, it was announced
that the college had been bought by
DR.. Gallaher from DR.. j. 81. Turner,
who had conducted the institution for
30 years. DR.. Gallagher was at the
thine president of the National Train
!. ing School for Missionaries and
Deaconesses in Washington. He
paid $4,000 for the property. DR..
Gallagher took charge OF the institu-
ton June l, 1908.
A The grounds are on beautiful site
to the south of the village fronting on
the Northern Central Railway. The
campus extends from the. road along
the railroad in a gradual rise to the
building grounds. The property was
regarded as the most picturesque about
Lutherville.

WHAT Is THE MACHINE 7''

So much has been said and
written about 'sthe machine, I"
that the people want to know
what is meant by "the machine. y
AS we understand it, in its
present use, the machine" is
the organization of the Demo-
cratic party. A party without
an organization may have abun-
dant strength, but is not effec-
tive. Every successful party
either State of National, has a
chairman and a committee to
manage its affairs. In Virginia
it seems to be the policy of one
class, which processes to be pure
democrats, to 6ecry the state or
Panization as the machine. -
Men who occupy positions of
honor and trust and are willing
to continue in those positions
are denounced as machine can
didates." Men who have been
defeated by the people, and those
who are dissatisfied with their
present political oficies and de-
sire to climb higher, appropriate
to themselves the title of anti
machine candidates. If the re.
cords of those whom they wish
to displace is unassailable, they
deneunce in the most bitter
terms the machine"
In reconstruction days, when
Virginia was overrun by Carpet
baggers, Scalawags, and Freed
mems Bureau officers; the PEG.
pie OF the state in order to save
themselves and their property
formed an organization, or
machine" if you prefer to call
it and gallantly met their foes.
In spite of the efforts of the
oathbound Union Leagues, the
greedy scalawsgs, and the hun.
cry horde of CarpetbaEgers,
the machine" won the day.
The people of Virginia became
supreme: the Carpetbaggers
hied to their native haunts, the
oath bound Union League was no
longer a power in Virginia and
the Scalawags hung their heads
in shame.
Organization saved Virginia
from the deep humiliation which
cursed so many of our sister
Southern states and the white
people of Virginia managed their
state government. From that
day to the present, the democratic
party of Virginia has had an or
ganization. Under it the State
has prospered and to-day, she
occupies a position second to
none.
Shall we destroy the crganiza-
tior which has proved so great a
blessing to Virginia, at the be-
hest of aspiring politicians or
defeated candidates? The demo-
cratic party will keep in tact its
organization, in spite of all the
machine busters" that can be
brought against it.

Stephen Scott Dies
From His Injuries
Horse Steps on Mans Face, Pro-
ducing Some Frightful
Wounds.

Stephen Scott proprietor OF the Neu-
mayer feed barns, who was fearfully
mangled by horse. which stepped upon
his face and chest after he had fallen be-
hind 1t, died yesterday at noon from his
injuries. He suffered intensely and never
fully regained consciousness. DR.. Sprink,
who was first called quickly realized the
dangerous condition Of the mans wounds
and called Or. Macrse to aid him. Every
thing possible was done for the injured
man. but his weak condition made It i'm
possible for him to rally.
Mr.. Scott was born on a farm near
Weston and spent the early part Of his
manhood there, but for the last fifteen
years had been a resident of Council
Bluffs. Nearly all OF that time he was
in charge of the feed stables where often
several hundred farmers came In one day
TO leave their horses while shopping in
Council Bluffs and Omaha He was on
personal and intimate terms OF friendship
with nearly half of the farmers OF the
county, and was widely known In bust
ness circles. After the body was removed
from Mercy hospital to the WoodrinR
morgue yesterday afternoon there was a
continuous procession of men and women
to view the familiar face. Many Of them
came with flowers and deposited their
tokens of esteem by the side of the uncof-
fined body Mr. Scott was 80 years old anc
unmarried. Arrangements for the funera
have not been completed.
