AMENDING THE WALTON LAW.

~i1AA4'OAI'0 I11G w ALI Wv LAW
1t is not with pleasure we see in several
Democratic nominating meetings, resolu-
lions adopted favoring the amendment of
the Walton law. Ii the amendment were
to remove the constable feature altogether,
we should heartily support it, as long
step toward getting what Virginia so much
needs, an educated suffrage, white and black,
and abolishing all ground for cry Of fraud.
But we see none Of the resolutions taking
that direction-they probably favor con-
stable representing each party-but at any
rate we suppose we may count on the next
legislature amending the law one way OF
another, and SO nadvance we wish to enter
our protest against any amendment drag
ging the Judiciary into elections, as the
Petersburg Honest Elections" bill does, Oh
destroying the secrecy Of the ballot.
As between the Democratic party and
that combination Of Republicans, Popu-
lists and Prohibitionists now holding in its
hand the Petersburg bill, we presume the
former will not do what no political party
has ever done before it, permit it's opponent
to dictate its policy, and even prepare a
bill for it. Indeed, the shrewd Republican
and rrother leaders doubtless foresaw this
that no member OF the Democratic party
would give them any pledge to support the
Petersburg bill-and thereby while preserv-
ing the highly moral cry of 'sHonest Elec-
tions,'' they at the same time eliminated
Democratic candidates from their ranks.

Laying a Church Corner Stone.

The laying of the corner stone of the new
st. Francis church, Tuesday afternoon,
was largely attended. Among the clergy
from abroad were the Bishop of the Do
cese of Richmond, Bishop Van de Vyver,
and Rev. Fathers Lynch, OF Roanoke, DON
ahoe, of Newport News. Fallon. of Clifton
Forge, McKeefrY, of Martinsburg, WA,
Kelly, OF Harper's Ferry, and Collins, of
Ronceverte, W. Va, nearly all of whom
had been assistants to the pastor, Rev, John
McVerry, in his long passionate of 25 years.
Among the laymen present were the Cath
Ollie Hibernian Society of Staunton, which
had marched to the depot, headed by the
Stonewall Band, to receive their guests, the
st. Joseph S Beneficial Society, of Harrison
burg. who arrived at clock. There was
also a large attendance OF laymen and ladies
from other parts of the parish and outside
of it. The services were conducted by the
Bishop, assisted by pastor John McVerry,
and assistant pastor W. CASTOR Payne and
the visiting cIergymen. The corner stone
is of granite, and has on it 1850" the date
of the old church, and 1882 the date of
the new. In it were placed the names Of
the present President, Governor, Mayor,
the pastor and assistant pastor, the archi-
tect, building committee and of the Bishop.
Copies OF the newspapers OF the day and
some other articles were also placed in it.
At the close, the Stonewall Band played a
selection from Mozart s Twelfth Mass.

THE DREADED APPENDICITIS.

There are few diseases which so sudden
" attained such an eminence of dread. sc
to speak, among the people as appendicitis
1t is the Inflammation of what is called the
vermiform appendix, a little sack, ATTACHED
to end OF the intestine near the stomach.
and for which there is no apparent use
whatever, at least the wisest anatomists
have never found what it is good for OF
what function it performs. It is legacy
inherited from our ancestors, the monkeys.
and which no animal except man and
the little wombat still carries. 1t has in
spired dread because the popular idea has
been that we are never safe from it, and
that at any time a cherry stone OF a grape
seed going astray will lodge in the sack and
produce Inflammation. Staunton has had
four cases of it which were recognized
two were operated on by incision in the
abdomen and removing the sack, both pa
tients recovering; one was not operated OIL
and died. and one was not operated on ana
recovered.
At the State Medical Society at Wythe
vile last week, the public got some comfort.
DR.. Hunter Nj uire said that in seventeen
cases operated on with only one DEATH he
had never discovered cherry stone OF a
grape seed, and DR.. Herbert Claiborne, Of
Petersburg, said in his practice he had had
twelve cases, none of which were operated
on and all of which recovered. In Dr.. Nc
Cures address he said he was convinced
that this operation should not beperformed
30 quickly as is recommended by some sur
goods. DR.. Moore advocated going slow
about operating in cases of this kind

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 10. 1895.
LOCAL.
The First Woman Rider in Boomers.

Staunton has women bicyclers who ride
in skirts, but on Wednesday morning it had
it's first sight of a woman rider in boomers.
She was sweet-faced, modest little lady,
G. Rogers, of New Y DIRK. She wore cap,
jacket cut basque style, with skirt
about a foot long, and wide Turkish trous-
ers reaching to the knee. All this part Of
her costume was of dark blue cloth. Her
hose were black and were such as wheelmen
wear. She wore buttoned CATERS. The
dress gave her a boyish look, but not at all
all immodest one. She was about as grace
full in her walking on the pavement as a
woman in skirts, and evidently had that
priceless woman's art of knowing how to
wear her clothes. At the Virginia Hotel
the evening before. on going nto the dim
,, ing room, Mrs. Rogers donned a skirt in
addition to her costume.
The party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
G.. Rogers of New Y ork and Mr.. and Mrs.
W. NJ. Whitney. Of Brooklyn, N. Y, left
there on Thursday of last week, and used
Guc Gl6tlu W Lucy CIOnoGei tilC uaos
sanutten mountain Oh their wheels to come
up the Valley Pike. At New Market they
had to leave Mrs. Whitney to rest up, the
trip across the mountain having been too
much for her strength.
The other three came on as far as Staun-
ton Tuesday and started back down the Y al
ley at ga. m. Wednesday. They had kodac
with them for taking views. MI Whitney
had an ingenious way of carrying his watch,
which is worthy the attention of wheelmen.
1t was leather band buckled around the
wrist, into which a small Swiss watch was
inserted, the face showing through Il Cir
cular hole in the band, so that at any time
he could find the time without taking his
hand from the handle bar. 1t was an idea
his wife had gotten in Europe, while maxi
ing that tour, and he found it very con-
venient.
Both Messrs. Rogers and Whitney, who
were evidently gentlemen of culture, spoke
highly of the beauty of the Valley country;
the unvarying courtesy they had received
from the people, and the Difference shown
the ladies OF the party. MI. Rogers said
tie streets Of Staunton were the best paved
of any he had yet seen, and was greatly
taken with the brick roadway, which was
new to him. Both gentlemen compliments
ed our park and said they had enjoyed the
music there the night before.
The party laid in a supply of Schmid 3
fruit, and while standing in front Of the
store quite little gathering, perhaps a
couple of dozen, assembled to see the wO-
n man rider come out of the store, but they
! were perfectly respectful and well manner
ed They were evidently a little set back
at finding instead Of a big, brassy, short
haired woman in tights--the popular idea
OF bloomer riders-to see modest little
lady riding with her husband in a costume
which was quite becoming.
