CATTLE ATTACKED
BY HEW DISEASE
Prevalent in Some Sections of
Central Virginia?Real
Estate Active.
[Speciali-to The Times-Dispatch.]
Arvonia, Va., September 1.?Farmer?
and dairymen throughout thla cntlro
section of.' Contral Virginia are com?
plaining rtX the new cattle disease which
Is supposvjd to be "mycotlc stomatitis."
an Intense Inflammation of the feet and
mouths ?>( the cattle. In most cases
the dlNti .sc produces a stiffening of tho
animal und r. contraction of the mus?
cles, mi iking It difficult for them to
move aljout. The milk supply la cut off
or ren tiered worthless, and cows aro
no longer rnlikcd. In some cases In
this s. salon tho cows have died, though
this It unusual, and tho animals K"t
better after antiseptic treatment and
kocplrg up and stall fed for a week,
or more.
Th? disease here Is supposed to be
caur<ed by 'fungi or Infected grass,
lien.(rally the lesptdeza, or Japanese
clovMr, which grows everywhere here
abujjdantly. It was at first thought
the, disease was contagious md that
th'# gerrns were blown through tho
al I, but this theory was some time ago
dlnproven.
ho month of August was perhaps
t.'?- best month ever known In the hls
t /.ry of the Arvonla and surrounding
I/late quarries, Practically every
quarry was run full time, with the
minimum loss from bad weather, cave
ins or lack of blocka. Next Saturday
win be pay day throughout the slate
I district, and It Is said by quarry Own?
ers that a larger amount will be paid
out for labor than was ever paid out
I In any month in the history of slate
, quarrying here. The demand for slate,:
j too. is active, ond the month of July
owed a most remarkable record for
; outward bound freight, a larger num
j her of cars being shipped during the
. month than for many years
Real estate is quite active in this
: section no- . After tr.e "boom" of l?O?
'and its collapse a year late, reil estate
1 hera remained Inactive, with hut sllgr.t
j demand for lots or surrounding prop?
er'-. At this time a large tract of
1,200 a ros or; the Gold Hill Road Is
being sold off in ten-acre lots, with
j eager demand. This road, extending
I southward to Dlllwyn. Is a desirable
i residential section, and many homes
! win shortly be erected In that section,
with smali farms surrounding them.
There is al60 a renewed demand
for p.. Id. copper and other mineral
properties, and the speculative spirit
j seems to he abroad again. Several
oppei prospects at New Canton will
tly bjo worked by speculative com
! parries.
M .-,r less consternation has r?.
cently been caused among the colored
people of this section by the wide?
spread announcement that the world
would come to an end late In August.
? It seems that a young colored woman of
I this section, now a servant In New
Y. rk, wrote a letter here telling of an
In! .:.t only a few days old talking and
prophesying- that upon August 36 Judg
rr.ent duy would he visited upon the
earth. This letter was .'?ad and re?
peated, perhaps exaggerated, and flnnlly
was taken up by a number of revlval

LORD ANNKSL BY, who has sailed j
from Cowea for New York, on '
hoard the three-masted schooner
Vacht Karlna. as oiio of the guests ot
Commodore Robert E. Todd. of the '
New York Yacht Ciub. Is one of tho
large land owners of Ireland, his es- |
tales In County Down alone extend?
ing; over an area of some 60,000 acres.
If he has takon no part In public lifo
and has faired to follow the example
of the former earls of his house In<
serving In the army. It Is because ho
has suffered from Infancy from a some?
what serious Impediment In his speech, '
resembling by a curious coincidence
his father In this respect, for the
fifth Lord Anr.esley .luring the Crimean
War. at the battle of tne Alma, had
his Jaw smashed by a Russian bullet,
which took off part of the tongue and
twenty-four teetn Klnglake, In his
history of the Crimean War. speaks
of the courage, and composure with
which the young subaltern of the
Scots Guards bore Injuries which, es?
pecially In those days of nonantlsep
tlc surgery, seemed so irremediable as
to render death a release. Yet tho
wounded man survived for more than
half a century, marrying, "en secondes
noces." at the age of sixty-one a fa?
mous beauty forty years his Junior,
daughter of William Armltago .Moore,
of Arnmore, who used to be known In
Dublin society as "Pretty Priscllla."
The present Lord Annesloy Is a son
of the first marrlnKe and until his
father's death, In 1903. bore the name
of Viscount Olerawlyji a Jaw-broaklhg
one, indeed. This title Is entirely duo
to a clerical error. The name should
have been Glenawlcy, after a place In
County Fermanagh: but the clerk en?
trusted with the writing out of tho
patent of creation wrote the word
wrong, and as the error was discov?
ered onlv after the document had re?
ceived the slim-manual of the sov?
ereign It was too late to change It.
Consequently, the Earls of Annesloy
possess among their monor honors the
Vlscounty of Clerawly--a place that
has no existence'
Possessed of an income estimated at
1200,000, I,ord Annesley makes his
principal home at Castle Wellam. a
splendid granite structure nestling
among the mountains of the old King?
dom of Mourne. the estate including
within Its borders the quaint old town
of Castle Wellam. as well as the sea?
side resort and port of Newcastle, In
County Down The cattle nark Is
celebrated for Its trees. The mild
climate of Ireland and the sheltered
nature of the locality, havlt-.ir enabled
arboriculture to be carried on there
with a Slice."-- unusual In Northern
Europe and at the international Syl?
viculture Congress, held twenty years
ago In London, It was demonstrated
that nowhere else in the world ex?
cepting in some parts of Brittany is
there gathered such a wonderful num?
ber of rare nnd varied trees,
Not long ago announcement was
made that Dr Augustus Henry, tho
Chinese explorer ^nd expert In Chi?
nese matt'.rs, had discovered an en?
tirely hew pine in the Ch^mhl Val
! ley of Thibet ; but subsequent Investi?
gation brought to light the fact that
there were no less than n dozen speci?
mens of this tree flourishing at Cisile
j Wellam, ?rrown from seeds sent to
[the late earl from the Indian Himal?

Castle Wellam has for the last quar?

Of the Rt. lion. Fltzwllllam Hume

The name of Langrlshe is familiar to

himself bv his championship of the
Irish Roman Catholics and was the

to relieve them from the terribly ty?

I Joseph Ferdinand is hot, howiver.
j irreplaceable. He has hitherto to, en
general of the Third Infantry Dlvis
loh and Is tecond son and prlticlp.,l
heir of the last rand Duca of Tus?
cany?consequently, the head of the
'I Is m branch of the House ot Maps
burg As such, he stands flfth In the
line of succession to the Imperial
Ibi one and owes this position and his
wealth to tho quarrel of his elder
brother, Archduke Leopold, with his
patents and with the Emperor?a quar?
rel which culminated in Leopold's re?
nunciation of his birthright, his hon?
ors and his prerogatives to become an
exite and a plain s-wlss citizen under
the name of Leopold WoltUng.
"W?lfl In g" Is not deserving of
much sympathy, but there la much
foundation for the general Impression
that prevails throughout Austria that
Archduke Joseph Ferdinand envenomed
his brother's case in every possible
way, especially at its most critical
moment. In order to get his place !n
the succession and his paternal in?
heritance. This is ah opinion so gen?
erally held that he, Joseph Ferdinand,
enjoys the distinction to-day ot be?
ing the most unpopular member of the
Imperial family, tho more so s'ncJ It
Is understood that he has failed to
k< ep the promises in connection ?iitn
monetary mutters which he made
when pressing Leopold to surrender
his birthright to him. Joseph Ferdi?
nand, moreover, gave offensn to the
army authorities and th- Ernporo- by
the publicity of his relations with a
certain Mile. Mitske while holding a
