Mary Hearn, who is chiefly noted for
the hymn. Watching and Waiting for
Me-" was born December II. 1884, in Eng
land. She was the daughter OF a village
postmaster. and as a young girl began to
teach school. Eventually she became a
writer, and in all published some forty
volumes, which were for the most part

tributed to religious magazines. Watch

HOROSCOPE.
THE stars incline. but do not compel"
Thursdny, December II, 1914.

(Copynght. lsl4.l
The new Moon Of this date, falling on
the cusp of the ascendant with Venus
in the second house and Leo in a
strange and unique position on the cusp
of the tenth, is read as exceedingly
ominous. Appalling shipwrecks are in
dicated and railway accidents will be
numerous. it is prognosticated-
The signs are held to indicate illness
and death among persons Of royal blood.
Trouble in the ministry is foreshadowed
for Great Britain. Famine Is to be ex-
pected in many countries.
Problems that will test the best quali-
ties of the President to the utmost are
foretold. There is an augury of peril
that may lead to war.
For today the stars indicate mingled
good and i'll. and the stronger influence
is evil, for Mars and Saturn are decided
ly adverse. Jupiter also is unfriendly,
while Venus is slightly benefc.
The aspect is not encouraging for the
beginning of any work, as many OBJ
stacles are likely to be encountered.
Changes and removals are not lucky
under this rule of the stars. .
Engineers. contractors, ironworkers
and machinists should be especially eau
tious.
Surgeons and dentists are believed to
suffer from unfortunate guidance when
Mars is adverse.
This is not a favorable sway for bank
ers and financiers. They should delay
all big transactions, especially those in
volving large obligations for the future
Increase of dishonesty, fraud, and
crimes that demand cunning Is indicated
Women may be fairly lucky today, ex-
cept in love affairs. In business they
should benefit. They have the augury Of
extraordinary achievement In the coming
war.
Persons whose birthdate It is may have
much anxiety in regard TO money during
the coming year. They should avoid
Quarreis and dissentions Of every sort
Children born on this day may be
rather quick tempered, but they are likely
to be exceedingly kind and generous.
Boys probably will succeed better as en-
ployes than in independent business ven
tures- Girls, should be guarded against
unwise marriage. - ~. ...s-

The Ulster Proposals.

Mr.. Asquiths suggestion that each Ulster county
should vote separately on the issue of Dublin
Home Rule versus exclusion for period Of six
years. is at its face value very fair one. The
difficulty is that the leaders Of the Ulster move
ment-Sir Edward Carson Captain Craig and the
men who brought about the signing of the covenant
have pledged their word that they would not
desert the PrOtestants of the nonProlestant coun-
ties Should the present proposals be accepted, it is
considered certain that Antrim Down, Derry and
Armagh would vote exclusion while the remaining
five counties would vote Home Rule. Now, two Of
these five counties-1yrone and Fermanagh-are
over 40 per cent Protestant With the four already
mentioned they constitute the Plantations dating
from Cromwells period-and the Ulster leaders
have been saying privately for some time that the
exclusion Of the Plantation counties IS the least
cession which they would even take under consider
alton. hostile attitude on their part is pretty
surely indicated.
As to what position the tnionist leaders will take
in all this Home Rule difficulty the Unionists have
been trying to force general election, and that
both parties facing this possibility have been jock
eying for position II IS political problem of
the greatest intrcacy. Provided the Unlonists
fuse these present concessions they cannot them
selves tell whether more will be offered (Which is
doubtful whether the British electorate may not
take the view that they have displayed not Prot
cstant patriotism, but bgoted and scdtious obsti-
macy And in that case the last state Of the Union
ist party would be worse than the first.
One thing Is plain Mr.. Asquith, by his frank
appeal TO popular plebscite, and by his success
In winning Nationalist consent thereto, has again
proved himself one Of thu most-if not the most
Ingenious politicians In the British Isles

A DENIAL FROM Mr.. STODDARD
The Reports of His Demands Upon MIR.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your Albany dispatches the last

Senator Davenport for more than a
month and that my acquaintance with
Mr.. Call is limited to one brief meeting
week ago last Sunday while ! was
visiting Mr.. +. w. Bird. who was i'll at
his home In this city.
At that time Mr.. Call expressed his
pleasure that an investigation had shown
that his predecessors accounts were in
good shape. He also stated that he hoped
TO make the office OF State Treasurer more
than n routine affair He intended to be
slow but sure.
! did not suggest 10 Mr.. Call during
those few moments that he remove Mr..
Batten, nor have | had any communica-

The Curfew. Experts.

There is a varegated array Of expert opinion
upon Mr. NIitchels Curfew Committee. clergy
man, hotel proprietor and sociologist furnish a
fair chance of contrast, and we await the report
with interest Mr.. Mitchell has tactfully announced
In advance that he may not be able to accept all
their advice, but hopes to strike an acceptable
mean out of the suggestions rendered. Why should
he not?
The truth is, think, that there is much more
general agreement among New Workers upon these
questions than is generally conceded The perfect
tangoist, on the hand, and the complete pro-
hibtioniSt on the other be ignored. The former
will be happy with nothing less than eternal dane
ing and early closing will hardly satisfy man who
doesn't believe in opening at all. There remain the
great body of New Workers, to whom orderly enter
tainment is not a crime and who believe that re-
strictions should be as few possible, consistent
with order and deCency.
If Mr. Mitchell with the aid OF his curfewlsts, can
eliminate all restrictions those needed to pre-
serve order and decency, he need not worry about
public approval.
