F0RTY-EIGHT YEARS IN BED.
The Sufferings of Woman Who Injured Her
Spine in the Van Buren, Campaign.

LANCASTER Pa, Dec. 27.-Almost half cen
tury of suffering has imprinted sweetness and
resignation in the face of saintly-looling wo-
man to whom the Christmas chimes on Thursday
morning brought memories Of this day forty
eight years ago, when she was last able to join
in the merry festivities. Miss Elizabeth Nc
Ananey, who lives in the household of James
Coyle, on West Vine street, has long been the
victim of an incurable affection of the spine. She
says: ION Christmas day it was just forty

adherent of Old Hickory, and looked upon
Martin Van Buren, as his idols legitimate sue
cessor in the presidency. He exerted himself to
roll up big vote for Little Van at the Leacock
poll, and to that end invited the voters
far and near to an apple butter boiling at his
home. The barrels of cider were placed in po-

but she is very patient, never murmurlng. and
l think there never was any other one to suffer
so much and complain so little" Years age
Miss McAnaney spent much of her time IN
reading, but now her strength is too far gone to
admit even of that She loves to hear the bells
of ST. Marys, and much Of the little pleasure
she extracts from life is due to lining adjacent to
the Catholic Church, of which she is a member,
where she can hear the music of its choir, the
toling of its bells and the troops of happy chill
dren daily playing about the doors of its parochial
school, whose building stands on the site of the
old stone structure wherein she last worshiped,
as happy and light-hearted as they, just forty
eight years ago on Christmas morning.
It is thirty years since Patrick McAnaney sold
his farm and removed his family-consisting of
wife, one son and four daughters--to this city.
All, with the exception of Elizabeth, were strong
and sturdy, and it was little thought that the
belfast and incurable invalid would survive
them; yet father, mother, brother and three sis
tiers have all passed away, and she alone remains
of that happy family, who, almost a half century
ago, so busly hustled about in preparation OF
