DEATH OF THE MASON MIDGET
On June 25th, 1890, little Alice Cur
tbs, the renowned Mason City Midg-
ct, died at Mason City, of brain
fever, aged five months and eleven
days. She was doubtless during
the short period of her existence
the smallest specimen of humanity
on earth, or probably that has ever
lived to attain her age. AT the time
of her death she weighed two and
three-fourths pounds, her weight
having been but fourteen ounces
She was very bright apd intel
ligent, and had been visited by
thousands of people. Had she lived
to an adult age it is probable that
she would have been greater at
traction than Minnie Warren or
any of her renowned predecessors.
