Mr.. Daily is the proud possessor of a
gold medal from the government of the
United States. granted him in 1884, IN
testimony Cs engraved upon its back
of heroic deeds in saving lives from
the sea-" Mr.. Daily's life has been
most useful one in at least this respect,
ne having saved forty persons from
being drowned up to the present time,
aside from the great record of good
deeds done and courage heroically
manifested. Mr.. Daily has made a
study OF the art and science of saving
persons from watery graves and takes
great interest in the subject He said:
You should always grab a person from
behind in the water and if they succeed
in getting hold of you Gas is generally
the case) throw your hands up in the
air and sink with them TO the bottom
if necessary, and their hold will be re-
leased in the downward course, and
then come up from under them and Sc
cure a hold around the body from be-
hind and take them to place of safe
ty." Last summer Mr.. Daily lectured
in Germany, France and Italy upon
life saving and swimming, and also in
this country.

marked a gentleman at the Mcclure
last evening in the employ of the
bank was on Irish porter, and as de-
pOsitOrs began to stream into the bank
he went to the President and suggest
ed that the money be heated, so the
coin was taken in the back part Of the
bank and heated as hot as possible and
was passed out through the cashiers
window in a shovel. The heated coin
came in contact at once with the de-
Dositor's hand. who in a rage shouted
to the bank official that the money was
hot. That's all right said the cash
