POOR OUIDA !
HER TROUBLES ENDING.
A LONEI.Y DEATH-BED,
(Received 5.33 a-m.)
LONDON, July 16.
The sad story of poverty and suffering told of Ouida (Mdlle. Louisa de la Ramee) in the cable news of Saturday has had a sad sequel.
Latest cable advices from Italy show that the unfortunate novelist is certainly dying.
There is much sympathy with her in her distress, but Ouida will receive nobody, and refuses even medical care.
[Ouida's sufferings were described in Saturday evening's cables, but the fact that she had left her rich home to die a fiercely heroic, lonely death was not recorded. Louisa de la Ramee is a native of Bury St. Edmunds, and comes of English stock on her father's side and French on her mother's. Since her first book ('"'Held in Bondage") was published forty-four years ago, Ouida must now be advancing into old age.]
