For Mutual Protection.

Through the Daily News, we
learn that for the protection of
themselves and depositors; through
the money squeeze, the Staunton
banks have passed the following
resolutions, duly signed by the di-
rectors of each.
Aug. 18th, 1893.
Whereas the banks Of the princi-
pal cities of the country and this
state, in order to protect themselves
against depletion of currency, have
declined to furnish currency against
balances due by them; and whereas
it is deemed advisable for the banks
Of this city, intheir endeavor to pro-
tect not only their own interests,
but those of their depositors and the
whole business community, to adopt
similar means of precaution, and
thus enable the banks to be Of SER
vice to their customers and the pub
lie, being similar action to that
taken by the banks Of this city and
state in 1878, by which no depositor
was Inconvenience, therefore be it
Resolved, That during the present
monetary depression, this bank pay
checks drawn against existing bal
ances to an amount not exceeding
fifty (S50.0O) dollars in currency in
thediscretion of the bank, but then
on the presentation of checks, we
certify the same as good, payable
through the daily exchange made
between the banks of this city; and
be it further resolved that checks
against depositors of currency made
after this date, be paid in currency
at the counter Of this bank, or
through the exchange between
banks at the option Of the deposi-
tor.
This resolution will take effect
from and after this date.

Professor Moore's Steam Man.

A steam man is the latest Amer
lean novelty. The inventor, Pro-
fessor George Moore, made similar
apparatus with partial success a
number of years ago but his present
venture is larger and intended to
draw a wagon. The figure, 6 feet
high, is increased in metal and
looks like knight in medieval
armor, with helmet and visor,
smoking cigar. The cigar, how
ever, is an escape pipe, and the
plumes of the helmet veil the top
of the chimney. The furnace and
boiler are contained inside the
trunk and the moving m echanism
in the rest Of the body. The man
walks briskly at pace Of four OF
five miles an hour

A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage or
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. It has been successful in
curing many cases Of catarrb' ma
Iarial fever, hay fever. asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration. and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine COM
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.
Ifyou wish to learn more OF this
wonderful remedy, send for our
book of 200 pages, sent free, with
numerous testimonials and records
of surprising cures.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The democratic leaders OF the
House proved themselves equal to
the occasion, and broke the record
for a new Congress by getting to
work OH the silver question on the
fifth day of the session. They also
disappointed the republicans who
were cooked and primel to arraign
the democrats at the bar of public
opinion on the charge OF il tention-
al procrastination. The republic
cans have been so surprised ut the
ease with which the democrats
reached an agreement to take up
the silver question, in advance 'f
the appointment Of com mlttees'
discuss it fourteen days and then
vote upon the bill Cor the repeal OF
the purchasing ause OF the Sher-
man law and amendments thereto
for the free coinage Of silver at a
ratio of 16, II, Is, 10, 20 to one,
and for the substitution Of the old
Bland act, which was the law be-
fore the Sherman act was passed IN
1890, that they have inst begun to
charge the democrats with railroad
inc the matter through the House.
The democrats are perfectly will
ling to plead guilty to the charge
Of railro aiding the question; they
believe that the situa' ion required
rMlroading, and that the people
had a right to expect it. The ayr
cement under which the debate is
Row being conducted is thoroughly
democratic; it provides for an equal
division of time and for vote upon
the bill and the amendments named
without filibustering, and the decl-
sion of the question is to be made
solely by the majority Of the House.
It LOOKS now as though the bill for
the unconditional repeal Of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman
law wouldpass, although there is a
probability of an amendmentrrovid
ingfor the freecoinageDf silver at an
increased ratiomay beaded TO the
bill. Up to this time the debate has
been carried on in d spirit Of toler-
alton although some of the speakers
GA Dosh sides silver and anti-sll-
yer; there are no political sides rec
O tnized in the debate have made
some rather strong statement The
small attendance is surprising, IN
yiey Of the great interest tarou-
ghoat the country IN the result.
OF cou Sc every body knows that
it is cay for members of the House
to fluid more comfortable places
than their seats IN the HoaSe to
spend their time from liam. to
BPM. daily but it does seem that
more Of them should regard it a
duty to attend the session than do
While there is no actual necessity
for their being present, if they dc
not intend to speak, unit the voting
begins, still it would look better tt
see them in their seats.

AN ARnLESS MAN.
HOW HE HOPES TO SECURE
NEW LIMBS.

has been called on to perform most
unique surgical operation, which,
in the event Of it's being underta-
ken. will excite considerable inter-
est among the public as we'll as IN
the medical and scientific worlds.
Mr.. Johnson, upon bis arrival here
few days ago, repeated this rmark-
able story to several members OF
the legal fraternity Ct Richmond,
among whom he is we'll and favor
ably known.
On board the steamer coming
from Baltimore to Richmond he
had as fellow passenger gentle
man Of more than ordinary inte.li-
gence who had lost his arms in an
accident, both being cut off about
two inches below the elbow joint.
Mr.. Johnson formed the accquaint.
ance Of the armless man and spent
a good deal of his time in his COM
pany. The two had become quite
familiar when Mr.. Johnson's COM
panion startled him by confding
to him that the object of lis trip
to Richmond was to see DR.. Hun
Ter Mcclure abodt getting HIM
self a new pair Of arms.
Being rendered entirely help
less by the loss of his arms, he
said, his sole aim and object in life
was to discover whether it were
possible to remedy such defect.
Having a boundless faith in the
possibilities Of modern science, he
had conceived the idea Of replacing
his lost members with the limbs
Of some of his fellowmen who were
more fortunate in this respect than
he.
He had consulted a number Of
physicians in New York as to the
feasibility Of his theory, but, with
one exception he received no encou =
agement from the practitioners Of
the metropolis.
He had also been in correspon-
dence for some time past with Dr.
Mcclure, who inclined to take a
more hopeful view Of the case.
With this encouragement he sought
out two life convicts in Sing Sing
prison who agreed to part with a
portion Of limb eachone--with his
right, the other with his leftforea M
Reconsideration of regaining their
liberty. He then laid his case be-
fore Gov. Flower and succeeded in
prevailing upon the Executive to
agree to pardon the two convicts
when the conditions specified have
been complied with.
The man without arms then went
on to say that he was on his way to
meet DIR. Mcclure and hoped to ar
range with the surgeon to perform
the operation of grating into the
stubs of his arms the forearms of
the convicts. He was confident by
a skilful operation the flesh, bone
and muscular tissue could be uni
ted perfectly. He said, also, that
while he was aware of the danger
of the experiment and the posi-
bility Of it's resulting fatally to
himself, he was willing to take the
risk in the interest of science.
) Dr. Mcclure is at pres INT out of
the city.-State.
