SOME COLORADO MOMEN.

The woman's Republican League

organization throughout the State and
have done some very good work.
A woman's mining exchange is Being or

tion very shortly. Mrs. HELEN Miller
will be TIE president. She is u stock
broker, who has among her patrons almost
as many men as women, and she is rega rded
rs slrewd and far-seeiDg in business.
Mrs. Miller is tail. fine looking, well
eowned and has affable manners; and here
where stock gambling is regarded as le-
git innate pursuit, she holds the respect ofthe
Common wealth. There are nrfnter OF
women following the same calling. but
Mrs. Miller has the reputation OF BEING the
biggest hustler" in Denver.
For the short period that women snf-
fragc has existed here, think, on the
whole, IL may be said to be success.
There are u few ambitious women who,
to gain political prcfcrmeDt. have used
measures not entirely to their credit. but
they are 80 much IN the minority that they
should not bring unfair criticism on IA
large body of women who have worked
curly and late TO purify and elevate the
