CITIZENS MAKE PROTEST.
Residents Along Old Dominion Lin
Meet md Pass Resolutions.

The schoolhouse at Cherrydale. Va.
was packed last night by citizens living
along the line Of the Great Falls and
Dominion Railway, who gathered to dis
ctiss their grievances against the railway
company.
Commonwealth's Attorney Crandal
Mackey was chief spokesman for the
people. while Judge c. E. Nicol. of Alex
andria, an attorney for the railway com
pany. spoke in, behalf of 1t.
A resolution presented by Mr.. Mackey.
condemning the present management of
the railway on eleven different counts.
was adopted by an almost unanimous
standing vote.
The accusations were that the trains
were not run on schedule time: that they
were overcrowded: that empty cars pass
ed stations crowded with waiting pas
sengers: that passengers who had paid
their fares to Washington were compelled
to get of at Rosslyn and walk across
tho Aqueduct bridge.
The resolutions further stated that
four loaded cars had been allowed upon
a single span of the bridge at once,
thus endangering the lives of the pas
sengers, and violating the law: that
stations along the road were unlighted
and out Of repair; that the station at
seats for women. and without facilities
for passengers.
A copy Of the resolutions is to be sent
to John r. Mclean. said to be the
largest bond-holder in the company; to
the corporation commissioners at Rich
mon, and to the Interstate Commerce
Commission In Washington.

sioner Rhinelander Waldo will have to

instigating the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai, and Mcintyre declares he has not

were given more time to defend them
selves.

ELECTRIC WAFFLE IRON Wis

Everybody in our house is fond

such waffles as those cooked on our

Both sides are cooked at onceAthui

LARGEST FLATIRoN IN
WORLD is AN ELECTRIC

What undoubtedly is the largest
electric flatiron in the world weighs
fifty pounds and is used by Broad
way tailor New York City.
This sounds as if it were picked up
by CULVER on his tour in Brobding-
nag, for it is so large that no man
can use it. So that it may be oper-
ated, it is hooked up to machine
which raises, lowers and helps swing
it.
This fifty-pound iron has an inter-
csting history. 1t started life as a
gas-heated iron. About two years ago
its owners heard some things about
electric irons; first they tried one,
and in few months were using six.
Then the problem arose of what
to do with the big fellow AT
length their difficulty was brought to
an end. Arrangements were soon
made to transform the monster into a
modern electric iron.
The back was removed and the
pines inside were ripped out After
little drilling an up-to-date eleo
tyic heating unit was fitted and a
plug attached. Owing to its previous
condition of servitude, it was neces
sary to have the opening for the plug
in front instead of the rear, as is the
case in the greneraI usefulness of the
iron The firm is much pleased witt
this ingenious metamorphosis, whicf
has saved one-third on the cost of {
new iron, while the electrified produc
has been performing perfectly.

ELECTRIC HOUSE NUMBER
TO BE PLACED IN POST

~ - h-fNSGG llN W I .
V. c. Rogers, New England building,
has a novel and unique electrical
scheme which he proposes to use in
lis new home in Lakewood.
Inside of one of the porch posts
Mr.. Rogers is going to place a small
electric light In front of this a piece
of ground glass is going to be placed,
flush with the surface of the post, ana
On which will be painted the house
number in black figures.
In the daytime the black letters on
the white GAGS will show up well, and
at night the electric light will be
switched on, and may readily be seen
by any passerby.
The cost of operating this light, ac
cording to the figures of Mr. Rogers
will be only about ten cents pei
month. These figures are based On
using four-candlepower lamp and
burning the light five hours a day.
1T will be blessing to mankind,
said Mr.. Rogers in speaking of his
proposed scheme. MANY is the time

looking for a house, and have had to
walk up to the porch and light a
