SHE MEANT TO DIE LAUGHING.
Mrs. AIamada Tries to Illustrate Her Th'
ory That Death Should Be Merry.

New York, September 7.-Mrs. Kate
Alamada of 161 East Fifty third street is
81 years old and good looking. Her hus.
band, John, is employed in a down town
restaurant The couple have one child
Ma rtha, ten years old.
A common habit OF Mrs. Alamada has
been to talk to the other women living
in the house about the beauties of death.
She argued that as mortals came into the
world wailing they should leave it laugh
ing.
''I want to die merrily," she often said.
"Why should we dread going into the
next world2 It must be better than this.
1t cannot be worse. Some day I will
show you how merrily can die. I'll
poison myself and laugh until my soul
takes its flight
Mrs. Alabama sent Martha into the
yard to play yesterday afternoon. Then
she visited several women in the house
and talked about her favorite topic,
death. She declared she would soon give
them practical illustration OF how
I'm going out for some lime water,
now," she said to Mrs. Goerwitz, the
janiuress. "When I come back I'u show
you something funny.
Mrs. Alamada soon returned with a
bottle in her hand and went to her rooms
on the third floor. In few minutes she
appeared in the hall and called down
stairs to Mrs. Goerwitz:
"Come up here; I want to tell you
something funny"
Mrs. Goerwitz found the woman sitting
in rocking chair, laughing immoderate-
ly. She pointed to bottle on u chair
and said
"I've taken cup of that stuff mixed
with little whiskey. I've played joke
on myself. If anything happens to me be
sure and have plenty Of merrymakers at
my funeral. +"

Washington, September 8.-Secretary
Herbert today admitted that the pub
lished statements that he had ordered
work on the vessels under construction
to be expedited, were correct. "The ships
building in the navy yards have been
tagging for years." he said, "and for
long time the delay was for the want
of armor. The armor is now being fur
nished promptly. The Texas and the
Maine, Ithe former Of which has just been
put in commission, and the latter will
be in few days. really ought to have
been in service months ago. Officials
at the navy yards naturally desire TO
keep a regular force steadily employed
and the disposition is to take workmen
from the ships building and do repair
work with them, putting them bac K
when the repair work is completed. Not
layed by this practice, but the monitors
Terror, Monadnock and Puritan. All
these ships ought to be now in commits
sion. l have ordered that they be rushed
to completion. The same reasons which
have operated to delay the building of
ships at the navy yards naturally inf1u-
ence the contractors. They are sometimes
tempted to neglect government work and
use part of their force on government
ships to do outside work as it comes in.
Penalties for delay have frequently been
imposed on contractors by the navy de-
partment and Congress has in almost
every instance when 1t was asked, re-
lieved them of these penalties. The effect
Of such acts is necessarily demoralizing.
The department. has recently given orders
to push all work on navy yard ships
and also urging the contractors to i'll
crease diligence. 1t is to be hoped the
penalty in future. for delay will be al
lowed to stand. No good reason can be
given why ships authorized by Congress
should not.be completed with reasonable
despatch. We have already shown we can
build guns and ships equal to any in the
world, and hope our shipbuilders will
demonstratethe world ships cannot only
be built as we'll, but as rapidly as any
where in the world. OF course am
pushing along the manufacture of Or
dinanoe and everything else at tEe' same
time. -

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
Of the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have arumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inf1amed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The Possibilities of the Public Library. c

There are many portions OF this
country where the free public library is
still unknown, and where its value as
an educational factor is not as yet ap-
preciated. During the past few years,
however, a new impetus has been given
to the movement, so that today it may
with truth be said that in its new life
the free public library is passing
through very much the same phases OF
its existence as did the free public
school. which fol many years received
it's sole support from a very small sec
ton of the country. The benefit to be
derived from a collection of books open
to the free use of the public is being
more widely appreciated, and It's intro
duction to localities to which it has
heretofore been stranger must neces-
sarilv follow. The intelligent teachers
of the present day are among the
strongest supporters of the free pubic
library, having the opportunities TO
see the great advantages which the
pupils under their charge enjoy in the
free use of library of well selected
books. The very best results in edu-
cation will be found in the town where
the librarian is enthusiastic in bis
efforts to supply the needs OF school
superintendent in carrying out his de-
sires of instilling in the minds OF bis
pupils that habit of reading which
tends to make their studies ten fold
more beneficial. This cooperation be-
tween these two men charged with the
education Of the young results not only
in forming a habit of reading, but III
teaching a pupil to think and inyesti-
gate for himself. From " Recent I'M
provements in Public Libraries by E.

II VIII he Done Scientifically Mt tho show
Booked for Next Winter.

At a meeting of the directors Of the
Mid-Continental Poultry and Pet stock As
sociation. at the Midland last night, par
tial arrangements were made for having
an expert demonstrate different styles Of
dressing poultry at the annual show TO be
given next winter Each of the large poul-
try markets of the United states has its
distinctive manner of dressing poultry, and
1t Is the intention of the directors to af-
ford Kansas Cityans an opportunity of
seeing how fowls are prepared for market
after the most approved fashions. Tho
directors are constantly in receipt OF let
ters of praise and inquiry from all por-
tions OF the West. Missouri, Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska especially.
The show which the association held last
Christmas has proved "A decided advertise
ment for this city. All of the leading poul-
try Journals of this country and Canada
contain frequent editorial comments on the
next show and praise the activity and en-
ergy of the members of the association.
The directors say that the business element
here is just beginning to understand the
great good which the annual exhibits do.
They bring into this place a large number
of fanciers and townspeople, who benefit
the tradesmen here by their purchases.
The fact that the shows are held during the
holidays serves to largely augment the hoit-
day trade. Not only the retail houses. but
the wholesale houses are benefited through
the association Kansas City is looked up
on by fanciers as being one of the
foremost poultry cities in the West.
