IS YEARS WITH BROKEN NECK.
Senator Money Discovers Dislocation by
Accident and Is Cured.

WASHINGTON. u. G., May 1.-THE
fact that Senator Money Of Mississippi
passed through life for tiirty-fiye years
with a dislocated neck and did not know
it became known to some of his associ-
ates today. AT the first battle of Frank
lin. in April, 1863, Mr.. Money was
cavalryman in the Confederate service.
He was struck by bullet and fell from
his horse.
Senator Money some time ago went to
New York accompanied by his son. and
visited an osteopathist to be treated for
neuralgia. Almost the doctors first re
mark was:
WHY. senator, you have had your neck
broken"'
TIE physician declared that one of the
vertebrae had been pushed from the top
Of the column supporting the head and
was in wrong position He demon
strated that the muscles on one side of
the neck We're fabby and useless.
The osteopath laid the senator on Il
table. took hold of the misplaced verte-
bra with both hands and put it into prop
er position.
The physician told Senator Money that
he must take precautions until thu weak
ened muscles regained their normal
strength He was cautioned not 10 turn
bis head in looking at anything. but 10
move his entire body. These Instructions
were observed and the neck apparently
became as strong as 1t was thirty-hye
wears before the operation.

ROME, May 2.-One of the greatest
difficulties in the way of a marriage be

Anna Gould is the fact that the Cath
Ole church not recognizing divorce, has
refused to annul Nine. Gould's first
marriage. The prince is determined to
marry Nine Gould and to this end he
has decided to turn Protestant. This
will enable the couple to be united by
both civil and religious marriage cere-
mOny. If the prince remained a Cath
Ollie there could be no religious marriage
and consequently his wife would not be
