To Residents of Alexandria.

F. w. Latham, Superintendent OF
the Gas Works, who has charge of the
selling and installing of gas stoves
by the city, against the sale Of which
a strong protest was made before the
Council Committee on light by COM
mittee from the Retail Merchants As
sociation, as stated few days ago,

city has sold 27 gas stoves 10 people
in Alexandria. Of this number II

delivered as soon as his men could dc
liver them to purchasers. Mr.. La
than states that in every case where
a gas stove has been installed by the
city, it was in homes of persons WHO
already had a gas stove, but were
willing to pay the price of new
stove in order to get the latest I'M
proved pattern to replace the old one.
Yesterday the city received its first
shipment Of stoves from the manutac-
turer, IS stoves being delivered
in this shipment. The first shipment
of Is were delivered to the city from
representative of the stove manufac-
turer in Washington.
At the gas works there are two re-
torts not now in use. They are being
rebuilt, the four in use being sufficient
to supply the demand for gas at TIC
present time.
The merchants of the city who sell
gas stoves of various well-known
makes say they can supply customers
with modern improved gas stoves thai
will save about 25 per cent in the con-
sumption of gas over that OF the OH
stvle stoves, and make the claim that
they can complete in price with the
city in their sale.

Make up Of Official Family
Topic Among New York
Democrats.
Ma MES SUGGESTED.
Plan to Keep Party Headquarters
Open so Feeling of People Can be
Sensed.

New York, Nov. 9.-Whether there
will be a United states senator in Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet was topic OF
deep interest at Democratic National
headquarters today. The names OF
Senator O'Gorman, of New York, Reed
of Missouri, and Raynor of Mary
land, have been prominently men
toned and it is certain will be con-
sidered by the President elect as real
cabinet material. But it developed to-
day that the question of availability
will not be the only one considered
by Wilson. Instead it will be whe-
ther, if he should select any of these
men, he can be certain that pro-
pressivc Democrat will be returned IN
their place.
In the place of O'Gorman this is par
ticularly so. The Junior New York
Senator is ultra progressive in his
views. 1t can be said on the best Of
authority that Wilson wants him In
his cabinet. But he also realizes that
O'Gormans presence in the senate was
only secured after the most bitter con-
flict in the history Of the New York
State Democracy. Boss Charles F.
Murphy of Tammany Hall tried for
many weeks to have William F. Shee-
han the noted corporation lawyer, sent
to the Senate. And Sheehan, it is
known already planned to get into the
fight again should O'Gorman be ele-
vatcd 20. cabinet job. The New Ior!:
Legislature is absolutely controlled
BY Murphy at present. .Tammany elects
most of it's own members Of the Sem
ate and assembly and in Kings county
(Brooklyn) there was a Democratic
sweep. John McCooey, who is Muir
phys chief lieutenant, is said to con-
troll the Kings delegation.
II was declared likely today that
unless O'Gorman can make an arrange
ment whereby he can ensure the sc"
lection of progressive as his Sue
cessor, he will be enforced to remain
in the Senate.
Chairman McCoombs, of the Dem
ocratic National Committee will not
be postmaster general in the new cao-
met despite the precedents for piac-
ing the national chairman there be-
cause of his patronage. McCombs has
made it very plain to his friends that
he does not believe in building up ma
chimes. If he is asked to accept Gao
net position it will be one of the
other portfolios where gossip cam
not accuse him Of trying to advance
his own political fortunes in an un-
derhand way. McCombs has made 1t
plain TO every one who has approached
him since election day that he believes
Democracy has made real contract
with the people to carry out certain
reforms. He says he proposes to do
his best to have all promises made
good.
The national chairman hopes that it
will be possible to keep national
headquarters open all the time, so that
the feeling of the country can be prop
erly sensed for the benefit of the
House and Senate, as we'll as for the
resident himself, if he so desires.

We are apie to make 1t stay sweet 8 long time~-a couple of days if we wanted it to by cooling it immediately after it IS mill1ed.
 where there is much milk to han dle. the best way is to. use one of the regular coolers or 'aerators. They are not expensive, and they help wori- derfuliy in keeping the milk in good condition. If there is only little milk, it may be cooled prety rapidly in pans set in cold water. People are deceived sometimes in the length of stime it takes to cool a big can of milk set in the cellar. Try it with a thermometer and see. It won't be all cool for nearly twelve hours And that gives those germs big start. Sudden and rapid cooling is the big secret in keeping milk and cream in summer"

FINDS NURSE KILLED HERSELF. Physicians Report on Autopsy Shows
 Miss Snodgrass Committed Suicide.

Catskill, N. Y, Aug. 3.-District Att torney Howard C. Wilbur has received Dr. Rooney's report of the autopsy on the body of Miss Dorcas Hams Snod- gross of Mount Vernon. It gives the cause of death by drowning. The con dition of the stomach showed that the dead nurse had not eaten for ten hours before her death, and report from the manufacturer of the watch carried by Miss Snodgrass showed that it would not have run for more than half an hour after being in the water.
 This. officially establishes the time of her death at 4:30. o'clock in the morning, bearing out the theory that Miss Snodgraes arrived here on the steamer Clermont the morning after her disappearance, and threw herself into the creek.
