Poor Sir William.
from the Washington Star

'FCNl lHe WdsItiTiVt"TT StdT.
There are many stories about the late
Sir William Gilbert of "Pinafore" fame
that natter him. Here, however. is one
that exhibits the petulant and witty writ
er in a different light.
Sir William, at the Sandown races. once
stood in the paddock watching the horses
A. they were led around. Near him was
a we'll dressed stranger. Suddenly a horse
dashed out with it's him legs, and the
stranger leaped black. knocking against
Dir WILTON violently. The stranger
%apo,osized, and the knight accepted his
anology with a witty and slightly sneer-
ing remark about nerves. But two or
three minutes later the same thing hap
pened again. Sir William was this time
almost upset by the terrified backward
leap Of the stranger.

not appreciate the efforts being made
by the Theatre management to Sc
cure good shows for this city. Mr..
DAILY has secured some of the best
read shows for performances here,
such shows as ordinarily do not show
in cities as small as Grand Rapids
and it is through cooperation with
managers in the other small cities
and personal effort on the local man

here. 1t seems that in a city this

NOTED PAWNBROKER KILLED HIMSELF
 IN DREAM
Special from United Press


 New York, May 22-Dreaming that he was battling with a burglar who had broken into his home to rob, John McAleenan, Son of "McAleenan the pawnbroker," Uncle to most of the whiteway habitues, put bullet through his head early today, and died two hours later. There were no wit nesses to the tragedy. Relatives who heard the shots fired rushed to the rescue to find McAleenan unconscious. He never spoke but the family, cor oner and the police believe the kill ing was accidental.
 McAleenan, they say, suffered from nightmares for years and often com- plained that he awoke in terror after a dream battle with thieves.
 McAleenan was 36 years old and one of the best experts on gem values in New York and the friend of most of the we'll known actors and sporting men of this city. He was mem Der of the New York Athletic club and had made an erBviable reputa tion as an athlete. He went to bed about midnight, his relatives say. Usually he kept a heavy calibre revolver un- der his pillow as he was in the habit on East 34th street. Shorty after 1 o'clock his brother Arthur heard a shot from Johns room and rushing in. found him lying on the floor with a bullet through his head. His brother in-law, Dr.. John M. Kramer and pr. John l.. Bodine, of the college of phy- sicians and surgeons, were called in hurry but could do nothing

WOMAN DIES AT MASS Falls in Pew and is Carried Out While Priest Finishes the Service

New York, May 22.-Persons in the rear pews of St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church, at Manhattan ave- nue and Milton street, Greenpoint, at early mass yesterday saw Mrs. Sarah Farady of 358 Franklin street slip forward in her seat. Several women stepped quietly to her, and, seeing that the woman was half senseless, assisted her into the vestibule.
 Mrs. Farady was moaning and in such evident pain that some one brought pr. A. L. Gabriel from his home, at IA Milton street. Dr. Cab riel examined Mrs. Farady hastily, and then asked that a priest be sum- moned.
 "She will die in a moment" he said. Ut is heart disease"
 From within the church, sounded softly the ringing of the bell at the elevation of the Host. Nine times the chime of the bell rang through the church. and then there was all most complete silence as Mgr. P. F. O'Hare finished the mass. Father Golf, assistant priest at the church. meantime had come to the vestibule, and administered the last rites of the Church to Mrs. Farady. An instant afterward the woman died.
 None within the church except those who had helped Mrs. Farady out knew that woman had been overcome, and had died while the service was in progress. Her body was removed to an undertaking es- tablishment.
