MRS. GABRIEL PgUDH0,IT".
Noble Ctthottc Ipalrr of CamptI,
La. Passes to Her Reward.

After "A blessed and useful life,
there passed away, at Campti,
-, - -, Mrs. Emerante
Lambre. widow Of the late Cab
riel PrudnnmuIr, wnp was one Of
L3llsi l.,'o m3s, cs9e.-eJ citizens.
Mrs. PrHIa N A. ~, the bead of
an old Saatnern family esp 'cja'ly
DISTINGUISHED in the annals If the
State. she was noted for her
many beautiful qualities aul the
noble work which characterized
her life. She was in every sense
unseltish, kind, charitable and
deeply beloved. She was highly
educated, having graduated from
the famous Nazareth (Ky.) AGA
denny, which has given so many
splendid women to the South.
She was a staunch Catholic, I'M
firing in her help for the Church
and poor, and had many warn
friends among the Priests and
Sisters.
In her beautiful girlhood, Miss
Lambre became the wife of Mr..
Gabriel Prudhomme. The mar
riage was an ideal one. and the
home founded, was the abode OF
true Christian charity and love.
Children came to bless the happy
couple, and especially was this
blessing felt when, in old age,
affection had its heavy hand upon
her. Then, most of all, they
sought to soothe and cheer the
declining years of their beloved
mother. Their devotion was beau
tiful to witness.
For the last fourteen years, Mrs.
Prudhomme was completely par
alyzed and had to be cared for
like a little infant, but she bore
her suffering with Christian resig-
nation and fortitude. For the last
three years she was deprived of
speech. She was tenderly cared
for during all this period of trial
by her loving daughters, and the
close Of her life was serene and
happy-like the close of a beauti-
full day.
Her funeral was held at the
church at Natchitoches and was
conducted by her pastor, Rev.
Father Plutz. An eloquent SER
mon was preached by her former
pastor, Rev. Father Judermanns,
of MarksvilIe, La, a warm friend
of the family. Father Juder-
manns spoke of the beautiful vir,
tues which had filled the life of
this Dobie Catholic mother, for
whom death had no sting and the
grave no victory. The funeral
was also attended by Rev. Father
BerteI, of Shreveport and Father
Piegay, of Natchitoches, also
friends of the family.
Mrs. Prudhomme leaves one
son, L. w. Prudhomme, and four
daughters, Mrs. j. F. Sompayrac,
Mrs. Frank Gallaspy, Miss Mary
Emerante Prudhomme and Miss
CeciIe Prudhomme, and many
grandchildren and other relatives.
She will be sadly missed by all
these loving, devoted ones. who
chung around her, even in her
deep suffering and afiiction, like
the ivy to the castle walls. Miss
Cecile Prudhomme is the special
correspondent of The Morning
Star at Campti. To this dear con-
frere, mourning the loss of such a
noble, beloved mother, and to all
the bereaved family, The Morning
Star extends its deepest sympathy
in this hour of sorrow and tears.

OUT OF MEXICO
Foreign ENJOYS Here Said to
Be Trying to Prevent Arm
ed Intervention.

Following a series Of conferences at the
State Department yesterday between Sec
retary Lansing and certain members Of
the Diplomatic Corps, Washington last
night was full Of rumors that some of the
other powers have offered their friendly
offices in an effort to assist the United
States in solving the Mexican situation
without resort to armed Intervention.
The diplomatic representatives of Great
Britain. Brazil, Honduras and Costa Rica
We're among those who talked with the
Secretary Of State. All of these countries
are anxious that there should be no
armed Intervention on the part Of the
United States-the Latin-American coun.
tries because of their traditional distrust
Of the intentions of the United States;
Great Britain for various reasons. among
which may be mentioned. 1t is explained,
her desire not to see any development
which may interrupt the operation of the
British oil concessions at Tampico,
whence now comes most OF tho fuel oil
being used by the British navy.
Both at the State Department and the
chancellories concerned there Is q decided
disposition not to discuss the purpose Of
yesterdays conference. It is no secret
however, that at all OF them. and par
ticularly at the British and Brazilian en-
bassies. there Is considerable concern
over the possibility that recent develop
ments In Mexico and along the border
may in the very near future force the
United States to intervene
In the meantime, officials Of the Amer
lean government are apprehenstve that at
any moment the lid may blow or in
Mexico. There was evidence yesterday
that intimations have reached the State
department In a more or less circum.
stantial form that Carranza might at any
moment throw up the sponge and fee the
country. Should this happen. there Is
grave concern for what might Immediate
ly follow during the interregnum
