HAD BROKEN NECK
BUT MD NOT KNOW IT FOR
Senator Mono; Given Startling in
formation When Ho Visited Osteo
path In Now York for Treat mont.
A dispatch from Washington says
the fact that Senator Money of Mis
sissippi passed through life for 35
yeats with a disloca lcd neck and did
not know lt became known to some
of his associates recently and created
general astonishment. The condition
was discovered when tho senator be
gat) lo take osteopathic treatment for
nournlgln. |ic has suffered Intensely!
from that allaient toi many vivi rs. I
At the first hatti.- of Franklin, ia
April, 1 863, Mr. Money was a cavalry
man Ul the Con Tod ora lo service.!
While riding through the streets, he
was struck by a bullet that circled]
around his ribs, doing no other in
jury. The shock was such that .Mr.
Money was thrown from his horse
and struck on his head. Hoing help,
less ho was captured and taken with
in the federal lines. He did not ask
for hospital treatment, was exchang
ed later, rejoined his troop and
fought until tin? wai was closed.
Years passed and Mr. Money enter
ed the se?ale. Neuralgia bad taken
a linn hold on him and his eyesight
had grown so bad as to approximate
blindness. Senator Po rn ker advised
Mr. Money to try osteopathy, winch
was just beginning lo attract much
attention. Mr. Fornker's daughter
has been benefited by the treatment.
Senator Money went to New York
accompanied by his son and visited
tho osteopathic. Almost the doctor's
lirst remark was:
'VYhv, senator you have bad your
neck broken."
Se ardor Money denied all knowl
edge ol' such an affliction. The phy
sician declared thal one of the verte
brae had been entirely pushed from
the top ot" i be column supporting the
r ie! *v; -.. in a .vrong ? position;
He demonstrated thal the muscles on
one side of the nock were flabby and
useless.
"I? you had been old enough lo
take part In tho Civil war,'- said the
physician. 1 would say yon were
thrown from a horse and sustained
the broken neck."
'Thai is just exactly whai did
happen." replied Senator Money, re
calling the injury al Franklin.
"I can cnn- sour neck," said tho
physician, "it will require bul "IO
meal's lime.'
The osteopath laid the senator ch

WILL KILL BATS
BY BURNING PATRICK HENRY'S
VIRGINIA MANSION.
Millions of thc Fust HJIVC Taken Pos?
session of it mid People Driven
From lt.
A dispatch from Aylett, Va., says
Montville, one of the mont famous
and historic placen In Virginia, in to
bo burned to the ground by UH own
owners, thc ?rent grandchildren of
Patrick Henry, because lt ls overrun
with bats. Since the warm weather
began there is no living in or near
the place. Hats by the thousands
hang ab(\ut tho grund parlors- and
spacious bed rooms of the colossal
mansion Attempts lo exterminate]
them by poison and with clubs have
failed. j
They (?re in every room. They
hang in long stripes, as is their
habit, from the furniture, from the
ceiling, from the walls and they are
in such numbers that they form cur
tains before the windows, darkening
the house during the day. At night
fall they loosen themselves from each
other, and dart to thc yards in such
numbers that they strike each other
in their flight.
Recently Philip Aylett, one of the
owners of tho place and an engineer
attempted to make the house "bal
proof." Kvery crack, every door, and
every chimney was stopped up, but
the bats found a way to enter. They
coulg get through cracks which
would hardly admit a roach. Mont
ville was built about the time the
Americans drove thc Kngllsh out of
the country, and its woodwork is old
and brittle.
Montville is now Owned by ibo six
children of the late William Aylett.
They inherited the home from their
father, who had inherited it from his
grandmother, Elizabeth Henry, who
had married an Aylett. After the
death of William Aylett, half a dozen
yours ago. his sons and daughters
married and moved away and Mont
ville was rented for the Hist time
Kine-: il. was deeded in ?070 to tho
tirsi. Aylett who came to America by
Chariot ll.
From the day the lease was signed
bats'began to invade the place. The
leosoe tried living In the mansion
with his family, bul if was impossible.
During the day lhere were strings
of bats yards long. The first of tho
grewsoine creatures would cling to ti
piece ol woodwork, to the wall, the
window sill,, or to ;i slick of furniture
nnd his fellows would cling to him,
forming a string of sneaking, ropul
sh e objects.
The momonl the sun set tho string
would dissolve and lue bats would
seek I he open, squeezing through thc
clack:; ol' windows or doors and
through the Hoers and walls
Thc losso and his family look quat'*
lers in ;i cottage I,nun yards away
and the manson was abandoned,
The Aylett children offered prizes
10 the negroes who could kill the
most bats. A child stood in the'
front door one afternoon and with a
tennis i'* quel knocked down 2,000
Pits. The negroes i<>r ;i Limo came
from every direction, hoping to win
iii,- - liai prize.'' Inn aller thousands
and thousands of the creatures had
hoon jiu! lo d?nrtll there was no ap
preciable diminu? lon.
Toison was i hen paced in every
pan ol tim house. I.nt. the bats only
seemed to thrive on ii This spring
the hals have become a pesl to the
neighborhoods and Hie owners of the
old mansion have determined to burn
11 to ils foundations. The bats can
be Rot lid of in no other way. *

THE DEATH GRIP.
Terror-stricken Plague City Has
Bean Cut Off From

Known ns the Bubonic Plague_
People Fleeing From the Country.
-The Death Bate Very Heavy.
La Gunyra, Venezuela*, ls n city o?
(loath. The plague is spreading there.
The In ha bi tfffits are lighting it fa'-n
tlcally, alone and unaided. From the
rest of the world they are out off,
on one side by the aea, on all others
hy military, patrols under orders to
shoot fugitives on sight.
News from the town is hard to ob
tain, so strict is the quarantine, but
enough has leaked out, however, tm
prove the spot an inferno.
Business ls practically suspended,
stores ?dosed, and residences shutter
ed. None venture abroad, except un
dei absolute compulsion. Food is
hardly to be had on any terms. Who
ever will may enter with supplies,
bul having entered, none can lonve.
oven for the enormous prices offered
for provisions, few will accept the
certainty of imprisonment and the
risk of death. ,
From miles away the smoke can bo
seen hy day and the flames by night
of blazing houses where the plague
has been, of burning lumber piles
from which the people are trying to
drive the disease-laden rats, and ot
the lires in the oil Hooded streets, a.
plan adopted by the authoritis as tho
readiest and speediest means of rid
ding the community of the accumula
tion of ruth which probably was
mainly responsible for the epidemic.
Most of the workingmen, who, pan
icked by fear of the plague and ren
dered desperate hy famine, brok,'
through the initfti^y cordon and
?scattered through, the surrounding
country, have been herded together
and driven back by the troops.
The terrified villagers and country
people among whom they sought ref
uge did everything in their power to
aid in the hunt. Dr. Gomez Peraza.
of La (Suuyrn, who first diagnosed
inc disease as bubonic plague, and
was thrown In prison by Pr?sident
Castro, only lo be released later when
ll became evident that his Judgment
was correct, is leading the sanitary
workers In their efforts to stamp out
the epidemic.
Except for a few persons who rush
ed from thc city before the cases
became numerous, tho only ones who
have escaped have been those rich
enough to pay the skippers of small
craft to smuggle them from tito har
bor and land (bein surreptitiously at
distant places on the coast.
President Castro has declared a
blockade at the port, and regular
shipping is suspended. Even tho
blockade runnels are few. The prices
they (barge for the supplies they
bring In, and tho passengers they
talco out, are enormous, and only the
most imminent risk of death at tho
bunds of sanitary guards are they
able lo break the embargo. The La
Ouayrn railroad has ceased op?r
?t ions.
The rate ol mortality from the dis
ease is enormous and those who suc
cumb are said to do so in tho major
ity of cases in about twenty four
hours from the time they are strick
en.
There h ive bee a few eases of Ibo
disease outside of La Ouayrn, but tho
government ls making herculean ex
ert ions to prevent the disease front
getting a foothold, and ibo sanitary
precautions promise to accomplish
the desired result.
Foreign rcsdents and wealthy Ven
ezuelans who are able to leave their
businss are quitting tho country li*
large numbers, however, lest the epi
demic spreads.
