NEXT LEGISLATURE.
Old Men VIII be in Minority in Lo-
wer Branch Next Session.

Richmond, Aug. IL. SO far there
arc twcaty-six cold" men chosen for
the next House OF Delegates, and
there are eleven 'comc-backs"-mean-
ing men who have served before ami
who had been returned after one OF
more sessions from that body.
This makes total of thirty seven
on which the cold men" will seek to
organize the body and proceed with
business. Sixty-three "new" men
will have to be rcckoned with, but in
that number there arc to be consider
ed The ten or more Republicans, ieav-
ing about 53 "ncw" men to be
dealt with
The question arises, VIII the old
inen be able to take control OF things
and Street the "ncw" men in the paths
thev should fellow. or will the new
nen d"rermiEe 20 take things in their
own hands and proceed to organize
The body for themselves? That is the
question which the old men are pom
dering. The fact that a majority Of
the House will be new material is
puzzling. True, there may be some
who will train with the old men, but
it remains to be seen if the new men,
hers will take charge and elect the
Speaker and name themselves for
committees and let the old men shift
for themselves.

The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employee, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain in
results and safer in opera
tion-as we'll as reasonable
in cost.
In every family a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two--is highly advisable
from every standpoint, IN
Guiding that of economy.

EVIDENCE To BASE
DISSOLUTION SUIT
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STILL
INVESTIGATING THE MELLEN
MONOPOLY.

New York. Jan. 15.-Evidence on
which to base a dissolution suit
against Charles s. MeIlen's traffic mo-
nopo1y In New England Is being
sought by the federal department of
justice IN the second United States
grand jury investigation of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road company, now pending.
This inquiry has been suspended
temporarily to await the result Of the
action on the plea in abatement by
which President Nfe11en, of the New
Haven and President Chamberlain, of
the Grand Trunk Railway challenged
the validity of the indictment charg-
ing them with violating the Sherman
law.
Argument on the plea in abatement
has been set for Friday morning, and
In the event of Judge Mack sustain
ing the contention of the defendants
the Indictment will have to be Quash-
ed and the two proceedings gone over
again because Albert A. Stephens, the
grand juror who has occasioned the
legal tang1e, is still serving.
Among those who have been sub
poe11aed as witnesses at the second
inv estigatfon, the scope of which Is
said to be wide enough to cover
dissolution suit are H. H. Ray
mond, vice-president of the Mallory
Steamship Line; 9. q. Dunbaugh
treasurer of the Colonial Line, and r.
T. Raskfns, freight traffic mana gersof
