Beautiful Tribute
Paid Mrs. Sullivan

Sand 30 the pale messenger that
never tires, and never pities-the
messenger that called Sappho away
from her songs and Letitio Landon
away from her grief; the messenger
who led Byron to where he could
sleep, and Keats to where no Gift
ford could stab him again with merci-
less criticism; the messenger who
piloted Poe to the misty dim regions
of Weir and to desolate Burns
brought the sealed orders under
which he sailed into the Unknown
Sea- has knocked upon the door of
the home of Mr.. w. H. Sullivan,
Mayor and founder of the city of
Bogaluss, La, and well known phil
anthropist, and claimed relentlessly
the kind and gentle spirit Of his be-
loved wife, on Thursday, July IL,
1918.
The city Of Bogalusa mourns over
the departure from life of this
noble, loving, wonderful woman, one
of its best beloved and most honor
ed citizens. Their hearts bow i'm sor-
row, and the clouds of gloom hover
over the home of family bereft OF
the devoted mother and wife.
"a shadow came and fingered
where the sunlight stood before"
In the passing away of Mrs. Sui
Ivan the world has lost good,
grand and useful woman, and
her place can not be filed in the
hearts of those who knew anC
loved her for the many gooc
and admirable qualities which hel
life possessed, and whose lives she
had frightened and blessed; espe
cially the poor whom she aided will
generous hand and willing heart il
her quiet, transformations Christian
dawn. The destitute turned naturally
to her. The weak ad unfortunate
sought for door, and the helpless
put their hands in hers. Her grea
charity, her ever-Beady tear of sym
pathy and word of encouragement tt
those in need, were breath Of
heaven. To do good was to her &
Joy. She lived for others and found
genuine pleasure for herself in max
ing others happy.
She was a woman of bright intel
ligence, of handsome and striking
personality and a wonderfully at
tractitve nature that seemed always
to inspire affection. She was brave
and loyal and possessed Of great
strength of character and purpose
and determination.
Her gentle presence, her wis
counsel, her simple way Of faithful
and loving service win be sadly
missed, and the thousands whose live
she touched can testify that the
world is better because she lived il
it. She, who passed among them
whose smile made bright a morning
and whose voice was music, has gon
from them forever, but in death
even as in life, the spell of he
loneliness remains.
Her life's work is over, and sh
has left it as heritage to the world
To her friends she has beQueathed ;
wealth of beautiful and -imperishablt
memories, sweet and tender, that
linger like perfumes of roses in tn
heart Of th5 day that is gone.
May the sod rest lightly on her
breast and may the brightest flower
disti1l their sweetest perfume wher
she sleeps and turn their velvety
lips Of love to kiss away the gloon

 Two torpedoes were fired, the first putting the wireless out fit out of order and making it impossible to send out an S. o. s. call.
 The steamer listed heavily and fill ed rapidly. The crew were ordered to the boats.
 As the men pulled away the sub- marine rose to the surface and sent p shots into the sinking steamer, completing the work of destruction.
 After the Cudahy had gone down, according to the story told here, the commander of the German craft sum- moned the Cudahy's captain aboard the U-boat where he was question for sometime.

 After three days and nights in the boats the survivors, thoroughly hun gry and exhausted from exposure were picked up by the steamer which landed them here.
 These men are quoted as saying the only member of their crew lost was the second steward.
 Members of the navy gun crew, they said, were taken aboard a Greek Stea Tler which thav said was d,1n haro today.
