FOUNDED THE FENIANS.
Puftsini: of a Noted Finre 'n the Iriah
Movement of the '0J'.
To those Interested In the Nationalist
movement In Ireland to-day the name
ttt James Stephens, who died recently
In Dublin, Is little
more than a mem
ory. 1 hey have
heard of him us a
great Fenian leader
of other days, hut
he Is not remember
ed us. for Instance,
they r e m e m her
O'Conuell und I'ar
nell. Nearly half a
century ago, how
ever, James Ste
phens was the most
prominent Irishman in or out of Ire
land. He believed In liberating his
country by physical force, and at one
time he was all but successful In
launching a well-developed revolution.
Stephens was born not far from Dub
lin und was educated at Dublin Uni
versity. He was a great linguist, a
fluent sneaker, and Is said to have been
the areatest organizer which the Irish
Nationalists ever had. He had a pe
culiar faculty of convincing the masses
that what he said was right and that
what he promised would be fulfilled.
He was In the Young Ireland rebellion
of 1848, which began with a splurge
and ended bo lnglorlously. Fired by
his association with Irish patriots at
that time, Stephens began, almost aa
aoon as the rebellion of '48 collapsed,
roaming in the mountains she met, by
chance, a young college stud'-nt, Fred
Callaway, who had been given a year
for field work In engineering and geol- i
ogy, and had taken the Cripple (heck '
district for his studies. Callaway is a j
son of YV. It. Callaway, a magnate of ;
the Sioux City road aud a nephew of
S. It. Callaway, President of the New
York Central Hallway, and formerly of
Cleveland. The accidental meeting re
suited In mutual admiration. Calla
way's parents, who live In Minneapolis,
went to Cripple Creek and found him
dangerously injured by falling Into a
"prospecting hole," and Miss Cain nct
Ingas his nurse. The parents, not aware
of the relations between patient and
nurse, fell In love with the girl them
selves, and Insisted on her returning
with them to their Minneapolis home
as their own daughter. Young Calla
way then explained that he had already
asked the pretty "Mountain Maid" to
become bis wife. The delighted par
..ritu ri.tiii'iied home with the future
daughter-in-law, and the latter will live
with them a year until the son com
pletes his university course. A good
railway position for the young man
awaits the graduation and wedding,
lie Is attending the Minnesota State
University.
