Also, It is a matter of environment, this deciding who is the greatest feminine benefactor, and therefore the most influential. If you are in a hospital you instinctively decide it Is the woman who out of her wealth endowed such institutions; if you nre hungry, it is the woman who feeds the poor. Again, you may think that the most influential woman in the United States Is your wife?once she has set her mind on anything. JANE ADDAMS CHOICE. To determine tho question. The Press asked n dozen well known New York men and women to toll' who. in their opinion, was the most influential woman, and to state why. The concensus of opinion was that he is Jane Addatns, the good Samaritan of Hull house, in Chicago. Without an instant's hesitation, three well known New York women, when the question was asked them, laid the lgnally great honor at the feet of i . the woman who taught the poor of Chicago the difference between right and wrong. Sheriff Julius Harburger banded the wreath to a New York woman. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, one of the strongest expounders of suffrage, explaining in his characteristic manner that had Harriet Heecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," been ulive, the credit should have belonged to her. The Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton, John D. Rockefeller's paBtor, Bald the moSt Influential woman was vhat wonderful impersonal beina. the Amerirun mother. MRS. HARRIMAN SECOND. The Rov. Dr. John P. Peters of St. Michael's church, was of the opinion that it was impossible to select the one woman with the most influence. This is what Mrs. Clarence Burns, president of the IJttle Mothers' Aid association, said: "The most influential woman In America today is Jane Addams. Next to her 1 would put Mrs. J. llorden Harrlman of New York. Miss Addams primarily for the every-day good of life. Her mission is to bring help to the weak, food to the hungry, hope to the hopeless, courage to the fearing nnd the blessing of right living to nil people. Others strive to accomplish similar works of good, but Jane Addams. through a rare mingling of personality and untiring energy, succeeds where others fall. Unquestionably she is the woman with the greatest Influence for good In this country, if not In the world. "Mrs. J. llorden Harrlman of NewYork, a society woman who has found time to see the suffering of others nnd has the will to aid them, is another who commands a wide Influence along humanitarian lines. Her work In getting milk for the babies of the poor will not soon be forgotten by a good many thousand mothers of the poor." PICKS "EVERYDAY MOTHER." This Is the way the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton expressed his oplnJFLUENT1AL WOMEN Mrj JJBoPc/er f?irr/mxn ?' ' mtmmmmmm?m I AND WOMEN SAY. resident of the Little Mothers' Aid woman in America today Is Jane BLATCH, Suffrage Leader?Ja~* cause she knows what she is talkSuffrage Leader?To my mind, fluentlal woman. ER?I should say Mrs. Carrie Chapr most Influential woman today. ion as to who is the n\ost influential woman: "She is no individual. She Is that impersonal woman known as the ev eryday mother. She Is the most Influential, and always will bo, because she Is at the seat of power of the nation?because, day by day. month by month, she Is molding our future men and women. What Influence could be stronger, further reaching, than that which forges the destiny of the boys and girls who. when they become men and women, shape the destiny of the world? There Is but one answer to your question. The most influential woman, and the one worthy of the greatest love and esteem, Is the unknown mother." NAMES MRS. STOWE. "The woman who wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was the most Influential woman in America. She paved the way for the ultimate welding Into a great harmonious whole the north and the south, as was typified at the recent gathering of tha United Veterans at the field of Gettysburg. No greater V * work could have been done or stronger Influences exerted than that exercised by Harriet Beecher Stowe. "In her absence I should say that I Carrie Chapman Catt, the suffrage leader. Is our greatest woman today. . She Is a marvel In her clear dictton and analytical and logical thinking In her speeches. I have heard her and consider her our best public speaker among women. The leader of a great (i cause such as suffrage is destined to be Is a woman commanding commendation as exerting a wide and power- ** ful Influence." KNOWS WHAT SHE TALKS OF. Mrs. Harriot Stanton niatck, one c! ' the leaders of suffrage in New York, said: "Jane Addams is the moot influen- th tial woman in America. She is the j most influential woman because she 1 knowH exactly what she is talking 0 about." j Mrs. Charles Henry Israels; widely known as a sociological expert, also a gave the tribute to Miss Addams. Sho , ^ said: j "Jane Addams is the most influen- ' tial woman because of the feeling of trust in her which is universal among all who have come in contact with c* her. There is no living soul that does ^ not trust Jane Addatns. "The reason for this trust is her 1 ' freedom from bias, her fearlessness of ?' evil, her courage for others, her sym- * pathy for all. There is no woman, not j alone In the United States but in the ' world, who can boast the influence which Is Jane Addams'." fr AGAIN MRS. HARRIMAN. H' Rosalie Gardiner Jones, the suf- a* frage leader, is for Mrs. E. H. Harrlman. . t,( k1 "I ran simply state that the woman i to whom Havenport's book, 'Heredity *e In Relation to Eugenics." is dedicated Pi Is one who has assisted in making possible the study of the science , which of all others will be of inestl- ^ mable value In its Influence upon the present and future generations. We have received as yet only a glimmer- ' * ing of the possibilities of the truth, *u but the value to the United States and ^5 the world of this woman is beyond Bt estimate, for she furthers the work which realizes that every child has the right to bo well born. She is ev Mrs. E. H. Harrlman." tn pt VISIT TOMB OF ST. STEPHEN ; ^ 1 he Thousands of Invalids Gather Twice a | Year to Implore Intercession of the Martyr. BV gr In a little church near Jerusalem, CJ. on the site of the ancient Capharga- ^ mala, thousands of the halt and lame ^ gather semi-annually to celebrate the ^ festival of the finding of St. Stephen's nf, relics, to gaze on the bones of the first ce Christian martyr and to beg his inter- ^ cession for the relief of their ailments, St. Stephen was one of the disciples of Jesus and after the ascension was jn chosen one of the seven deacouH. For his ndherence to the new faith he was ^ stoned to death. In the calendar of saints ho has two festivals, falling on ut December 26 and August 3. that of the latter date commemorating the ilndlng of his relics. ar After St. Stephen's martyrdom his body lay long concealed under the t? ruins of an old tomb at Caphargamala, 20 mlleB from Jerusalem. At this ^ place, early in the fifth century, the J church was served by a venerable r!( potest named Lucian. According to tradition, Luctan was twice visited by a vision of St. Stephen, who revealed l'tr the hiding place of his bones. The ^ priest laid the matter before the bish- . op of Jerusalem, who ordered him to ^ search for the body of the first saint at the place indicated. The coffin was found and when opened, according to the chroniclers, 'there came out of it such a sweet w< o odor that no one remembered to have ever smelled anything so agreeable." or A "vast multitude" had assembled, *r and, it is said. 73 persons present, ?* who were aiilicted with various allC* t meats, were immediately cured and made well ngain. A portion of the er relics were left at Caphurgamala, and a the remainder taken to Jerusalem and v' interred in tho Church of Sion.
