FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
January 24-Constance MAIDEN.
By MARY MARSHALL,

Constance Caroline Woodruff MAIDEN
is remembered as one Of the eight
women poets of England whom Glad
stone chose as those who had shown
splendid powers" She was born in
England in 1855, and. being left an or
phan when she was mere baby. she
was brought up in the home of her
grandfather, a jeweler, who was a
very strict Baptist, n man Of cOnsid
cradle fortune, but great strictness Of
life. ,
As a Young girl Constance showed
remarkable ability as 4 painter. She
pursued flower painting, and at an
early age began to write fairy stories
for her OwE amusement and for her
schOol-fellows. As she grew older she
set her heart on becoming an artist.
but when on presenting several of her
pictures for exhibition they were re-
fused. she made up her mind to devote
her powers to some other form of art.
She therefore decided to take up
poetry writing. She studied French,
German, Latin, and Greek poetry in
the original and devoted herself to the
thorough mastery Of English poetry.
Her first publication of poetry was
Songs and Sonnets OF Spriugtime,' a
book which Gladstone admired inn
menseIy. Besides her poetry Miss Ma
study Of botany and other sciences
having made remarkable progress in
physics, chemistry. zoology, and Ge-
ology. The scientist Spencer greatly
interested her, and she became through
her scientific work an associate of his.
When she was twenty-nine she inner
tied her graudfather's large fortune,
and forthwith took a much desired
trip through the East She Travelled
through Egypt, India, and Palestine.
and on her return to England settled
in London where she took an interest
in the leading questions of the day
She was considered a remarkably fine
public speaker. She was slight, tall,
and possessed a delicate, rather pretty
face with clear blue eyes. Her voice
was described as clear and penetrating.
She was said to be sarcastic and tri-
fe aggressive. She might have gained
a name among the greatest women OF
her generation had it not been for her
untimely death at the age OF thirty
one.

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline, but do not compel.
sunday, January. "a, 1918.

sunday, January. "a, 1913.
According to astrology this is an un-
favorable day, for Mercury. Mars and
Saturn are all in evil aspect
1t is a time in which to conduct routine
affairs in the home and to avoid quarrels
or discussions. The sign is threatening
for domestic harmony.
Under the sinister rule of Mars it is
we'll to be temperate in all things. Both
the appetites and the emotions are said
to be hard to govern while the aspect
prevails.
The rule tends toward self-confidence
and cgotism. For this reason il is we'll
to mistrust in plans made while the as
pect prevails.
The time is not an auspiciOus one for
ministers or public speakers. Appeals
for aid in phlanthropic projects should
be delayed, IL the best results are to be
obtained.
Those who read the stars predict re-
ligious discussions and denominatIonal
differences in many Protestant churches.
While Mercury is unfriendly petty an
noyances and trihing worries are apt TO
be exaggerated and those who are wise
will forget small troubles.
Letter-writing is subject to an unfor-
tunate sway OF the stars and should be
postponed. IL important subjects are
taken up in correspondence.
II Is foretold that a scandal in public
life will be revealed through papers that
have been lost.
Next month is to be marked by many
sensational Incidents. according to a
London astroioger. Explosions and acci-
dents are predicted for Great Britain. and
a small dependency OF the British empire
will cause trouble. A disaster in London
is prophesied.
Insurrection and riots are foretold for
Russia, where discont will breed in all
the small towns and cities.
There is an encouraging augury for
theaters. During the next few weeks
many plays should prosper.
Persons whose birthdate II Is may have
numerous annoyances in the coming year
Letters and writings will cause anxiety.
Children born on this day may be ex-
ceedingly brilliant. but tendency toward
untFuthfulness is likely to be charac-
teristic. These subjects of Aquarius are
not always logical, but they often are
spiritual and idealistic.

truth preached free of any call for
contributions.
4 correspondent who calls himself "a
professional man of average intelligence" q"
after attending several Sunday services
I'm the tabernacle. expresses in the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger the following view
of the evangelist:
Tn the first place the meetings have
been well planned and well advertised
and the advertising is continued by the
speaker. Mr.. Sundays picturesque Ian
guage mot pose) is evidently intended
chiefly to attract attention. . His Ges-
lures and contortions. too. are hardly
spontaneous. They seldom seem to be
the product OF real excitement but are
acting. and not very good acting: but.
nevertheless. they heighten the effect Of
his words. lie j. very luent. rather su-
peTficial. sclf-conscious and little spoiled
by adulation and success. His attacks
upon booze as if il were the root of
all evil are exaggerated and somewhat
absurd. His criticisms of other ministers
are not only in bad taste-they will do
real harm. They might not be so inap-
propriate in ministerial meeting, but
in public assemblaSe are inexcusablC.
They tend to tempt congregations to fault
faithful pastors for not adopting meth
ods which would be inappropriate in an
ordinary church, and they may induce
some ministers TO make mountebanks of
themselves i'll a vain effort to initiate
Mr. Sunday.
What. then, is the secret Of the mans
power? Some think It lies in his per-
sonal magnetism. l can only say that
l have perceived no such magnetic in
fluence upon myself, or on those sitting
near me.
Il think his power is derived, as is
that Of all successful eYangelists, from
his csrnestness, and especially from his
firm grip on the eternal verities. He ap-
preciates the exceeding sinfulness of sin
and the necessity of repentance and
amendment. and he believes firmly in the
power Of Jesus Christ to save to the
uttermost.
Il doubt whether he knows or cares
much about .Renan. or HaeckeI, or San
day, or Eliot. or other hertical or semi
heretical teachers. II he has read that
stupid and silly best-seller, The Inside
of the Cup he probably despises il. No
doubt he is narrow: but what he pro-
fesses he really believes and he considers
1t important, Mr.. Sunday has not the
simple, massive. spiritual force which
Mr.. Moody displayed. but undoubtedly
he has a message, and he delivers II
boldly and clearly. His visit to Philadel-
phia will do some harm, but it will do
a great deal of good, too. To many,
perhaps to most cultivated people, his
methods do not wholly commend them
selves. ] feel myself that / could not
actively support his campaign, but no
one ought to oppose or ridicule 1t, as
some seem inclined to do. John answered
and said, Master, swe saw one casting
out devils i'm Thy name; and we forbade
him, because he followeth not with us"
And Jesus said unto him. Forbid him
not."'

Rev. DR.. Maitland Alexander, moder-
ator of the general assembly Of the
Presbyterian church. has been conduct
ing in Baltimore during the past week
rally of Presbyterians, DR.. Alexander
delivering in the different churches a
number of important addresses. The
moderator. who is pastor of First Pres
byterian Church. Pittsburgh. describes
himself as 'old-fashioncd" and a Con
servative of conservatives in his re-
ligion.
Asked about the work of Billy Sun
day while in Pittsburgh, DR.. Alexander
said that he never before had known
all the people of city to be given
over to discussion of religion. He said
by way of illustration of what the
meetings had accomplished. that he
believed. that. today every department
store and every Office building in the
city had prayer meetings held by those
working in them. He also told. of
great Bible classes that had developed
from the meetings. and spoke generally
of the spiritual awakening and quick
ening that followed.
Richmond, Va, believes il needs a
Eilly Sunday campaign. and will send
a delegation to Philadelphia to discuss
with the evangelist the question OF
series Of meetings in the Virginia CAPT.
tai
Since the first call for converts was
made in the Billy" Sunday meetings in
Philadelphia. over 5000 have responded.
The total collections early last week
passed the $4,000 mark. The expenses
OF the campaign are expected to total
$4,000. At the present rate it will
take about a month to pay all obliga-
tions.
In the Pittsburgh campaign il took
five weeks to raise an expense of S40,-
900. In Denver. Des Moines. Scranton,
Wilkesbarre, and all the other cities
where Sunday has conducted similar cam
paigns, the current expenses ranged from
$4,000, the lowest, in Des Moines, to
S25,eOO. in Scranton and wilkesbarre. and
from four to six weeks were needed to
raise the amounts.
Sundays assistants continually en-
phssize the fact that the evangelist
gets nothing except the voluntary con-
tribution made at the closing meeting
of the series. Sunday. himself, keeps
urging the early. and complete payment
OF the expenses, as he wants TO get rid
OF the collection pans; he wants the
poor to feel that they can hear the

LABOR PLEADS TO WILSON.
President Hears OpPOnents and
Friends of LItcracy Test.

Representatives OF organized labor
poured into President Wilson's cars
yesterday their arguments in favor of
his signing the immigration bill pro-
viding a literacy test. Forty persons
delivered speeches for and against the
mes sure, and 500 persons representing
delegations from many cities were
present.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, made
the chief argument for the literacy
test. while W. Bourke Cochran. former
member of Congress from New York.
and Charles Edward Russell. spOkes-
men for the Socialist party. were con-
spicuous proponents Of an executive
veto. Mr.. Wilson already has express
ed himself as disappearing the literacy
test. and officials are convinced that he
intends to veto the bill, as did President
Taft.
