]. K. Stinson of Hammond expressed
surprise when he read in THE TIMES
that Eugene Purtelle. the erstwhile
promoter of the Northwestern Indiana
Traction Co., was still busy down state
attempting to carry on his plan for
building a traction line
According to Stinson several hun-
dred dollars which Purtelle owned him
for services was scheduled among his
liabilities when the Chicago adventurer
entered into volentary bankruptcy.
Under these circumstances Stinson
has not very much faith in the presen.
plans of Purtelle. He thinks the pro-
ject is feasible but he thinks that some
other man than Purtelle Will have to
carry 1t out.

Jerome v. Johnson, well-known

ing on Sunday. April 16. The worthy
subject of this notice was born in a
log cabin in Emmett township. Calhoun

master both ends of the trade that

before acquiring the title of journeyman.

Tom Moore. the sweet singer Of Ire
land, has written one of the most
beautiful short poems in the English
language, in memory of the tragic end
Ing Of the love affairs of the young Irish
martyr, Robert Emmet, and his pretty
Erin sweetheart. Sarah Curran. Like
most Of his songs, II has been set to
music by various composers, and Is
familiar wherever the English language
Is spoken. and 1t has been translated
into French, German. and various Of the
other European. languages.
Every one is familiar with the tragic
story OF young Emmet. for 1t is too
touching to be soon forgotten. During
the troubles in Ireland he was tried,
condemned. and executed, on n charge
OF treason. His fate made a deep i'm
preston on public sympathy. He was so
young, 80 intelligent, so generous, so
brave, SO everything that We are apt to
like IN young man. His conduct under
trial, too. was SO lofty and intrepid. The
noble Indignation with which he repslled
Inc charge OF treason against his coun-
try-the eloquent vindication of his name
and his pathetic appeal to posterity, in
the hopeless hour of condemnation-all
these entered deeply into every generous
bosom. and even his enemies lamented
the stern policy that dictated his execu-
tion.
But there was one heart whose anguish
1t would be impossible to describe. In
happier days and fairer fortunes he had
won the affections Of a beautiful and
interesting girl. the daughter Of a late
celebrated Irish barrister, Curran by
name. She loved him with the disinter-
ested fervor OF woman's first and early
love. When every worldly maxim ar
rayed itself against him: when blasted
in fortune, and disgrace and danger
darkened around his name. she loved him
the more ardently for his very sufferings.
II. then. his fate could awaken the SYM
pathy even Of his foes, what must have
been the agony of her. whose whole soul
was occupied by his image? Let those
tell who have lad the portals of the
tomb suddenly closed between them and
the being they most loved on earth
who have sat at its threshold, as one
from whence all that was most lovely
and loving had departed.
But then the horrors Of such a grave.
so frightful. SO dishonored. There was
nothing for memory to dwell on that
could soothe the pang OF separation
none of those tender though melancholy
circumstances. that endear the parting
scene-nothing to melt sorrow into those
blessed tears, sent, like the dews Of
heaven, to revive the heart in the part
ing hour of anguish.
To render her widowed situation more
desolate, she had incurred her fathers dis
pleasure by her unfortunate attachment.
and was an exile from the parental roof.
But could the sympathy and kind offices Of
friends have reached a spirit so shocked
and driven in by horror. she would have
experienced No want of consolation, for
the Irish are a people Of quick and gen.
erous sensibilities. The most delicate and
cherishing attentions were paid her by
The Washington herald., 1911-04-30

/, families of wealth and distinction. She
was led into society, and they tried all
kinds Of occupation and amusement to
dissipate her grief, and wean her from
| the tragical story Of her lover.
But 1t was all in vain. There are
| some strokes Of calamity that seattle
and scorch the soul-that penetrate to
the vital seat OF happiness-and blast II,
never again to put forth bud or blossom
She never objected to frequenting the
haunts Of pleasure, but she was as much
alone there as in the depths of solitude
She walked about In a sad reverie, ap-
parently unconscious Of the world around
her. She carried with her an inward
woe that Knocked at all the blandsh-
ments Of friendship, and needed not the
song Of the charmer, charm he ever so
wisely"
A writer tells the story Of having seen
her at a masquerade. There can be no
exhibition of far-gone wretchedness
more striking and painful than to meet
IL in such scene. To find II wandering

all around is gay-to see it dressed out
in the trappings of mirth and looking
so wan and woe-begone, as IL II had
tried in vain to cheat the poor heart into
= momentary forgetfulness Of sorrow.
After strolling through the splendid rooms
and giddy crowds with an air Of utter
abstraction. she sat herself down on the
steps Of an orchestra, and looking about
for some time with a vacant air that
showed her insensibility to the garish
scene, she began with the capriciousness
OF sickly heart, to warble a little
plaintive air. She had an exquisite voice,
but on this occasion, 1t was so simple,
so touching, that she drew a crowd, mute
and silent. around her. and melted every
one into tears.

country remarkable for enthusiasm. 1t
completely won the heart Of a brave off,
Ger. who paid his addresses to her, and
thought that one SO true to the dead
could not but prove affectionate to the
living. She declined his attentions, for
her thoughts were irrevocably engrossed
by the memory of her former lover He,
however. persisted in his suit. He So
licited not her tenderness, but her es-
TEEN. He was assisted by her conviction
of his worth, and her sense of her own
destitute and dependent situation, for she
was existing on the kindness of friends.
In a word, he at length succeeded in
gaining her hand, though with the
solemn assurance that her heart was un-
alterably another's.
He took her with him to Sicily, hoping
that a change of scene might wear. out

was an amiable and exemplary wife, and
made an effort to be a happy one, but
nothing could cure the silent and devour-
ing melancholy that had entered into her
soul. She wasted away in a slow. but
hopeless decline. and at length sank into
the grave, the victim of a broken heart.
1t was on her sad death in a faraway
country that Moore, the distinguished
Irish poet composed the lines. She Is
far from the land where her young hero
