A Grand Tribute.

Calharine II. Sullivan. OF Auburn. N.
Y. died recently after brief illness
She had been an employee OF the Elec-
trio Light Co. for ten years and her
pastor, Rev. Father Mulhcron, paid the
following tribute to her worth:
Il never knew more lovely. more
beautiful character. She was a Chris
tain girl in the saintlicst sense OF that
Word-no ordinary Christian but a
Christian OF the type OF the most ex-
allied ll!ng-oi the Cecilia and Agnes
and Agatha stamp-wlling to die
rather than do the least thing that
was evil | don't believe she did a
deliberate wrong thing in her life. Her
piety was deep and sincere; her char
ity was without bounds; her faith was
like a rock; her purity was like the
sunbeam; her patience. her wisdom,
her goodness. her greatness OF soul
were hrst-likc-almost divine. | be
lieve that we honor many saint in
the calendar with fewer universal viz
tues than this simple. sincere, earnest
Christian girl possessed. Her face was
fit for the Madonna whom she loved,
and she had the Madonna heart and
soul. Oh, what a character! What an
example in a community! What pat
tern for youth! and oh! how thanked
God as | saw her die that as a priest
| had a hand in iashioning this lovely
soul for God. She never failed to fol-
low the advice OF parent and pastor;
she avoided all the dangers which
wreck other young souls as she would
the pit OF hell. Precious in the sight
OF God is the death OF His saints
"And now III tell you a little in
cidcnt OF her iie-a bit OF history with
its moral. About ten or eleven years
ago gcntleman-prcsident of the
Electric Light Co. OF Auburn-came to
nc and said: Father am in need Of
a young man to assist our bookkcepcr.
Can you find NE a good, Trustworthy
young MANI I said, why Il young
man? You know most OF the good
young men go to heaven carly! Why
rot take good young girl! can rec
ommend you good young girl! He
said, What! Do you think a girl could
go into such place among SO many
men?' l said, Perhaps not every one
could; but l will send you girl, and
she will be all right anywhere | will
send you a girl who will make every
man respect her. Don't fear! III send
you a young lady whose face and eye
will make your office as wholesome as
a sanctuary!
Well, I sent him that girl! She has
worked in that office since that day
through all changes Of ownership, and
| challenge anybody to say if what
here relate is not true! Protestant or
Catholic, be they whom they may, they
will all bear out my word that a
grander, better, nobler young wom-
an never existed
ooh! thank God for all this! May
her lovely soul enjoy eternal rcposc,
and may we all be benefited by her
beautiful example. I could say thous-
ands of nice things about her that
must forever remain unspokcn, but the
good God knows them and is even now
rcwarding them in the kingdom of His
bliss and love eternal. May she rest
in peace. She will pray for us ALL"

River Convention al Vienna.

1t is proposed by the Rivers
and Harbors Com mittee for the
improvement of the Tom bigbee
to hold a convention at Vienna to
memorialize Congress. The con-
vention will be held sometime
during mid summer, probably
in August. The people of Ala

very much in earnest in their
determination to have the river
made navigable and they are go
ing to ask the cooperation of
their Congressional delegates
with ours of Mississippi in get
ting an appropriation at the next
session of Congress. It will be
rememb ered that the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Gambler asking for
an appropriation for a survey
of the river was turned down by
the committee on conference. A
survey of the river is necessary
as basis upon which to ask for
appropriations for permanent
The first object
of the convention at Vienna
therefore will be to ask Congress
to set aside a sum sufficient to
make the survey at the earliest
possible time during the coming
year. Invitations will be issued
to all those who are interested
to attend.
