COMPLAINT OF
IRISH REBELS.

them. They say they had no idea
that an Irish republic was to De pro-
claimed. They further say that the
head centres of the movement told
them an invasion was expected May
2, and they were told it was necessary
for them to hold positions until the
Germans could land.
Robert Emmett was probably aS
much disappointed as his sympatniz-
ers. He had every reason to sup
pose that when he precipitated
movement for liberty in Ireland
thousands would rise up to aid IN
throwing off the British yoke. They
failed, however, to materialize, ana
at the crisis in the revolt, Emmett
followers numbered about twenty
It is the same old story-the par
Elephants in the recent movement did
not know that overt acts were con-
templated, and it affords another
warning against embarking in any
questionable movement until the cost
is counted. Jack Sheppard, desperate
character as he was, had no idea

Mrs. Wood, his former mistress,
when they invaded her house at night
Jack was Mortified at the act.
A chapter in the Newgate Calendar
tells a sad story. A young man with
wife and baby moved into GER
tain part of Ireland where he had
rented small piece of land. After
he had settled down several OF his
neiehbors sought his acquaintance
and told him they were members OF
! society which had been organized
for the benefit of the smaller class
of farmers, and requested permission
to meet at his house that night. he
assented, and after he had listened
to their discussions he became alarm
cd as he realized they were a band
of ,desperadoes, who were ready to
use gun, knife, or torch in order to
wreak vengeance upon those they re-
garded as inimical to their interests.
After they had adjourned the young
man told them he had not previously
understood the purposes of the or
, raniZation and he had no intention OF
Joining it. He further told them he
could not allow them to meet at his
house again, although he assured the
band he would say nothing concern
ing what he had heard. The men went
away with ominous looks upon their
faces, and late the next night the
young man was awakened by finding
his house burning. A crowd sur
rounded the building and Gsad at the
windows when the farmer appeared,
and he died defending his home. His
wife, frantic with fear, appeared at

her to get through the flames. In her
desperation she picked up her baby
and threw it a safe distance beyond
the fire, when a brutal member oil
the mob picked up the infant and
threw it into the flames.
Had Mrs. Surratt known she was
harboring men bent upon assasslna:-
ton, John Wilkes Booth and his CO.
adiutors would not have obtained en-
tertainment at her home. She may
have believed them to be would-bc alb.
ductors. This was all the offcnsc oil
this unfortunate woman, and she was
hanged nearly half a century ago
for having allowed the conspirators
to enter her house.
The biblical injunction Go moi
in the way of bad men, nor cast YOU
lot with them"-is Il timely warning
to all.
