Joseph and Ovignac Guillory,
and one sister, Mrs. Doreston

To the grief stricken family
the Clarion extends its sympa-
thy. The relatives cen find
solace in the beautiful words
Sleep Noble spirit, sweetly
sleep,
Thy mansion bright on high.
Around thy grave we'll weep
And our bleeding hearts will
sigh.

TION OF MAYORS HERE

ess to a large number of So
cial and fraternal orginza-
tions of this state. The may
ors of the various towns and
cities of Louisiana are a jolly
and intelligent lot, numbering
among the foremost men of
their respective communities.
To entertain them would be
an honor, as well as a splendid
advertisement for Opelousas.
While other cities will no
doubt make a bid for the may
ors' convention, Mayor Loeb
feels enthusiastic over the
probabilities of securing a
majority Of the mayors votes
for Opelousas.
During the week Mr.. Loeb
stated that several citizens of
this city would go with him to
Alexandria in order to help
him secure the convention for
Opelousas.
There is scarcely a year that
passes unless two or more con-
ventions are held here, thus
showing that Opelousas is
highly regarded by the people
of the state as an enjoyable,
hosnitable locality.

Opelousas will make bid
for the 1916 Louisiana May
ors' Convention, at the first
annual gathering of the heads
of the municipalities of Louis
lana, in Alexandria on next
Monday and Tuesday.

aided by several prominent
citizens, it is reported, in an
endeavor to convince the may
ors of this state that Opelou-
sas is the most hospitable city
in the entire state and that this
is the ideal convention city of
Louisiana.
AS a great number of the
mayors have already visited
Opelousas and since this city
enjoys such a splendid reputa-
ton for hospitality and natu-
raj beauty, it is expected, by
Mayor Loeb and others, who
will attend the Alexandra
convention that the next meet
ing of the mayors of the state
will be held here next summer.

TEXAS HARD HIT BY
WEST indies STORM
Galveston Suffers Heaviest
Loss Since Memorable
sorm of 1900
CROPS IN ST. LANDRY
ARE DAMAGED SOME
Hurricane fro Yucatan Chan
mel Hurls Itself Against Gulf
Coast and Leaves Devasta-
ton Behind

The tropical storm, which
began its rapid march across
the Yucatan Channel Monday
morning, struck Louisiana and
Texas Monday afternoon and
began to leave devastation and
desolation in its tracks. While
no lives were lost in Louisiana
the rice crops, as well as the
young corn, were greatly dam
aged. Here in ST. Landry
where the wind blew at a rath-
er good rate all of the week
the damage is to some extent
very touchy, the rice crop, the
corn and cotton, being hurt
materially, although the rice
crop was not injured as much
as it would have been, had
this storm visited st. Landry a
few weeks back.
Galveston, Port Arthur and
Houston are reported to be the
places which suffered more
from the storm. No definite
news had been learned from
Galveston until late Thursday,
although it was reported that
the city had been flooded and
only fourteen had lost their
Some estimated the damage as
great as that accomplished by
the memorable September,
1900 storm, when the proper
ty damage amounted to S15,-
100000 and eight thousand
lost their lives.
At Port Arthur it was re-
ported that over a hundred
people had lost their lives, al
though this report could not
be confirmed until up to
Thursday afternoon.
Frank Dietlein and Robert
Perkins. the first ODelouseans
to arrive from Texas, since
the beginning Of the storm,
reported that when they left
the Island City, the causeway
was considerably under water
and the train, which trans
ported them from Galveston
to Houston had a great deal Of
difficulty in arriving at its des-
tination safely.
At Houston, where the life
toll was only one negro, Mr..
Dietlein and Mr.. Perkins,
stated, millions of dollars
worth of property were de-
stroyed; houses were unroofed
and wrecked, while hundreds
of automobiles were abandon
ed in the streets, being COM
pletely broken up.
Several places on the Lou
isiana Gulf Coast were report
ed in danger, but as far as it
could be learned, although
hundreds of people were ex-
posed to death, very few lives
were lost, if any.
DR.. Tom Todd, Of this city,
departed on Tuesday morning,
as soon as he apprehended
danger for Galveston, to meet
his wife, who is spending
some time in the Island City,
accompanied by Misses Gertie
and Leila Sandoz. DR.. Todd,
upon his arrival in Houston
could proceed no further and
learned that wire communica-
ton between these two cities
had been severed by the
storm. The last report from

ground of actual Italy is carefully
thought of.
The story is the development Of hui
mar characters strangely acted upon
by fate. There seems to have been a
mold prepared for each character, a
certain amount Of suffering and an
guish predestined for each.
The Coliseum lying in ruins is made
a center of one Of the most stirring
Genes whore a mob of hundreds Of
people flee through its openings. 1t
is a scene that is unbelievable when
one stops to think that the mob is
modern and the soldiers but actors
after all. The papal scenes are beau
tIfully and highly impressive. His
Holiness, the Pope, and the Vatican
are wonderful; nothing short Of mira
culOus when the forethOuEht and
hard work to represent such a char
aCter in such settings is considered.
Miss Frederick as Roma, swayed by
fate and ruled by power other than
hers. is s%plendidly convincing. The
idea hat Rome either makes or
breaks her people is plainly set forth
in the action of the scenes, and pre-
destination is so clearly manifested
that we have the feeling of. pecping
behind the scenes of life to know
what is coming next.
There is one thing that We
lcse sight of, the fact that the char
aCters are living, breathing men and
women, moved and aCtuated by a fate

just fighting for existence, and what

ter race Of men and women who will
take our places after we are gone.
That is the object Of the Eternal
City, that is why it is eternal, be-
cause it had this idea long ago, and
that is what the picture shows fore
most. We III through the gamut Of
emotions and realize that after all
how little it takes to influence a ma
ton, although It seems as though We
have done nothing at all at the time.

great artistic value because Of It's rep

carefully and accurately performed,

mate value in the history Of the
world.
