Count Primo Magri Noted Midget, Dies
 In Massachusetts

Death came to Count Primo MagrI, the famous midget and husband of the former Countess Tom Thumb three weeks ago at Middlesboro, Mass achusetts. According to friends the end was hastened by the blow Of the auctioneer's hammer which sold the possessions of the late Countess and her first husband General Tcm Thumb. In the collection were gifts given to the famous midgets by Eu- ropean royalty.
 Count Magri was a most pathetic figure as he sat huddled on a low stool his head resting on his tiny hands while the auctioneer invited bids for the sale of his possessions. Each blow of the gavel seemed to strike to the very heart of the dwarf who was T year sold. It was because of i'll health that he was forced to sell his treasures and with the mon- ey he hoped to return to Italy, his birthplace, to pass the rest of his days in that climate whl.-- physicians thought would prolong his life. When the curious crowds left, the Count seemed to have aged years. He wan dered through the house stripped of everything he held dear. a disconso- late figure. He became i'll soon after.
 Count Magri was g inches tall and weighed 55 pounds. He was born in Bologna in 1S49 and in 1869 received his title from Pope Plus TX after four years of success on the stage. He married the widow of General Tom Thumb in 1875 at Trinity church in New York. She dies last November and since that time the Count had lived alone.
