New York, January IA special to the Times from Burlington, Vt, says:
 Ut is reported that the F'enians are ,en- gagged in storing large quantities of dyna7 mite lyddfte ammunition and supplies in few selected repositories in remote dis tricts in Vermont and Maine near the Can adan border line.
 'The information comes from persona who claim to have Knowledge of the pur- chase of some of the supplies, and others who learned of their transportation by rail road disguised as groceries.
 Dynamite and other explosives have reeen secured i'm surprisingly large quanti- ties and stored under ground on the Yer mont border. while quantities of canned meats have been hidden in some large barns of sympathizing farmers on the main line near New Hampshire. ''It is said that an efficient ambulance corps is being organized under the super vision of a few local Irish women and sur seons W[ho were in the Red Cross work in Cuba. They are also preparing a large number of first aids packages for the in- vading force.
 "1'he movement is the work of the Irish element of the larger cities, but it is a fact that large and important work is being done among the farmers of the bor- der states.
 "A schedule is being arranged of farm CTS who can furnish wagons and horses and oxen for transportation purposes, as this is regarded most important de- tail. A careful study is being made of the small railroad branches in northern New England, and places are being located where the road could be captured by a very small force."

As we came to this country at the urgent solicitation and expense of the white man, we would be ungrateful to run away and leave him now, and We are not going to do it. was asked the other day in New York what the negro can do to get his rights. I answered. make himself useful. His citi- zenship will be recognized and valued in proportion as he is worthy. Industrial ed- ucation is the key to the situation. The negro must have education and thrift. They must know how to apply their edu- cation. We have enough ministers and professional men for the present."
 A large number of white people were in the audience.

She was graduated from the West Denver High school and taught for a short time before her marriage to Frank w. Lee, leader in the Colorado State Federation of Labor. Mrs. Lee is the mother of five children. The youngest was 3 years old when the campaign of 1898 began. Although her home duties had kept her busy for number of years, she had been a conscienti- ous student. She joined the Colorado Wo- mans Democratic club because she felt it to be her duty to do her part as a citizen. She soon gained the friendship of the mem- bers, who put her forward as their candi- date for the legislature. Mrs. Lee was slow to accept the honor, for she had been too much occupied to cultivate the art of public speaking, and she hestated to as- sume duties so at variance with her quiet habits. The club had chosen its candidate and the members would not hear of her refusal to run for office.
 The campaign showed that the woman who could manage a house successfully, and who could care for family of children had the qualities of leader. When the time came for her to take up her public duties it was evident that the retiring home woman could be trusted to do her part in the legislature.

A Woman in the Speakers Chair

Mrs. Lee is of medium height and slender form. Her features are delicate and her face shows that she is of a highstrung sensitive nature By her womaniness and her gentleness she won the chivalrous re- gard of the men who were her colleagues. She was nne first woman ever called to the chair of the house during a session of a committee of the whole. The other wo- men members had often presided during the regular discussions, but when Mrs Lee was asked to take the gavel during the consideration of an important question there a momentary sensation. The honorable member from Arapahoe blushed and showed some hesitation. During the session Mrs. Lee not only managed her house and cared for the children. but she found time to entertain many guests at her home. Once some TleSsuggested- that the cares of state must be something of burden, when added to domestic duties Mrs. Lee laug'hingly replied that any one who had the executive ability to run house and rear several children ought not to find any duties too exacting for her strength

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Adhered to the Old Parties

When Colorado gave women the right of suffrage six years ago the whole country became interested in what was regarded as rather an amusing experiment on the part of the Centennial state says Mary H. Kinkaid in Ainslees for January. "The first campaign under equal suffrage condi- tions developed as many ridiculous com plications a comic opera, and none was quicker to laugh at them than the woman with vote. Perpiexing problems had to be met and odd methods had to be adoptel to changed demands. Democratic republican and populist headquarters were removed from their old haunts and established in the leading hotels. Afternoon-at-homes and evening receptions were substituted for ward rallies. The pink tea took the place of the bar-room as factor in politics. Women attended primaries, sat dn conven- tions and served on all committees.
 Party leaders were quick to recognize the executive ability possessed by the women, to whom they apporhoned enough offices to stimulate interest in the results of the cleo tion. Women of all classes took active part in campaign work. and social distinc- tions were obliterated. From the beginning of the equal suffrage agitation in the United States, there have been advocates of a wo- mans party that shall be perpetual men, ace to all forms of political corruption. If these advocates had hope of seeing such a party started in Colorado they were dsap- pointed, for the moment that women knew they had the right to vote, they allied themselves with democrats, republicans or ,,on,liSsts

Tho Women Proved Their Ability

When fthe votes were counted after the momentous campaign of 1894 three of the sixty-fve seats i'm the house of representa- tives of Colorado belonged ho women. It had been claimed on the stump that the home-m aleer would prove herself well quail flied as a law-maker, but most persons were skeptical of statements made in arite- election flights of oratory. Within the first thirty days of the session it was clear, however that in some mysterious manner the women had prepared themselves for their wider duties. They understood par liamenItary law. They could make speeches. They introduced important bills, and they pleaded eloquently for needed reforms. At the end of the session 1t was acknowledged that the women legislators had made markaIble records. A The most implacable enemy of equal suffrage could bring no damaging charge against the three women who had the right to use ''Honorable' be- fore their names. TO be sure, 1t was said that once, when member from noun tain county had been so unchivafrous as to refer ironically to bill introduced by ''one of the lady members from Aripahoe, there had been a sudden retreat from the house and tears in the cloak-room. Further than that no one dared to go in the line of cr1ti- cism
 stayed at Home to Rock the Cradle
 Three seats at the right of the center eises in the house of representatives in Denver, Col, are reserved for the women members of the legislature The places are the most desirable in the handsome legislative chamber. It has been noticed that the women are seldom absent from their places. The story is told that, dur ing previous session, one of the women members failed to appear at her desk for week. Owing to all previous records for conscientious attendance, the vacancy caused much comment Finally one of the oldest men in the house mustered up the courage to make inquiries of the other women.
 .'Wdhere Is the Gfen. Mrs. .Blank?" he asked We have been missing her. and We hope she is not ill.,
 "Ill? No. indeed" said one ,of the Hon. Mrs. Blanks women colleagues. '.She has a new grandson, and she is so proud she has been staying home for few davs '-- to rock the cradle.'~
 Notwithstanding the fact that son nl.. offered the sarcastic toast to women "oa our superors, but now our equals" Wlule are treated with the same courtt y lnI consideration that was accorded th n ne- fore they entered public life Smo ne not indulged fin on the floor of the house and no turbulent scenes have ben a- corded since the establishment oi Hiual suHrage.
