ton in New York.

New York, Jan. 26.-In a spacious
room of DR.. Bulls private sanitarium
Lolita Faust lay dying yesterday. The
bewitching voice that had thrilled
thousands in her bright career was
mute. The lovely face whose smiles
had won the hearts Of al who saw her
was pallid now with the approach OF
death. DR.. Erdman's watch thrummed
family the last swift seconds of a
/ brilliant life.
Suddenly the doctor and the chief
nurse stood back astonished. The pa
tient. still beautiful in the shadow OF
the end, had half lifted herself from
the pillow. She smiled family, raised
frail white arm.
And in that moment the big, bare
room with the grim sleet beating on
tits shaded panes, was vibrant with
melody. Lolita Faust was singing her
last song.
1t was the beautiful Carmen" song
from The Midnight Sons'-the song
that Lolita Faust sang in the last act.
She did not know she was singing now.
She was beyond knowing anything
earthly any more But the voice rang
as silvery clear as a brook in the sun
light and her eyes shone with the
light of joy
Sings the Refrain and Dies.
They seemed to gaze out beyond
the room of death, beyond the driz-
zling storm, upon some thronged, ap-
plauding theatre. Perhaps, in her dim
dream, she saw the eager. upturned
faces of the thousands she had sung to
happiness-the sharp CLEAN Of the foot
lights-the gay-garbed chorus, the
fiutter of clapping hands
Through the first stanza of the song
and through the sweet refrain she
sang, then paused Slowly she sank
back upon the pillow. and death let
fall the final curtain upon eyes that

of the country poured into the Office
of Lew Fields. her manager, all eX-
pressing the deepest sorrow and SYM

for her mother who lives in Brook
Ign, and to whom they were forwarded.
A sad feature of the tragedy was
the fact that Miss Faust was to have
been married shortly to Malcolm
Strauss. the artist. Her first marriage
to Richie Ling. an actor, was unhappy
and ended in a divorce last fall
Miss Faust left the Midnight

BRFEZY GOSSIP AROUND THE NATIONS GATHERED SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT BELT By F. J. DYER
FAVORED CORPORATIONS

If there is anything the corporations would like in the District of Colum- bia, that thing has not yet been men, tioned to congress This is a paradise for corporations, negroes and the newly rich. No congressman dares do any thing, except of course the southern congressman, which might be objection able to the colored race. That excep- tion need not be made in the case of corporations, because it might be said with almost exact truth, that the cor porations have the utmost sympathy ot all the law makers. The few exceptions among the corporations only help to emphasize the situation. To go into details and give specific instances which calls forth these remarks was the man ner in which the senate rushed to the defense of the gas company when Sen ator Brown introduced a resolution call ing for an investigation of it.

TO AMUsE THE INSANE

For many years it has become custo- mary in institutions caring for the in sane to provide amusement of some sort for them. The insane are benefited by amusement of some kind, and this has taken various forms, dancing being per haps as common a form as any. The government of the United States, how ever, finding that theatricals would con. duce to the improvement of the men tai status of the inmates in the hos. pital for the insane at Washington, con gress has yielded to long continued i'm portunities by Superintendent White and has appropriated $lOO,OOO to build frst-class theater with seating cap acity of 1900 and ample stage accom- modation. Dances, theatricals and en- tertainments of all kinds have been held in the basement of the chapel, but with the increased numbers of in mates, the accommodations thus afford ed have become insufficient.

CAPTAIN HANS CASE

The public in general will probably be surprised to be reminded through an item in a service journal that Captain Peter c. Hains, Jr., 30th company of coast artillery, who is serving term of imprisonment in the penitentiary under the sentence of the civil court for mur- der, is still on the army rolls and that the military authorities do not know how to get him off The paper says:
 "The separation of Captain Mains from the army can be effected by hay ing senatorial confirmation of the nomi- nation of another officer to take his place. There are objections, readily oc- curing to everyone, to such proceed ing, but it is understood that the chief of coast artillery is anxious to have Captain Hains place filled, inasmuch as that officer is not likely to be avail able for duty for some time. While Captain Hains does not come up for promotion to the next higher grade for several years, even that incident would not make it possible to drop him or transfer him from the active list, since in either event he must be examined for promotion or retirement and such examination is not possible under the circumstances.
 All this sounds funny to mere civ ilian.

CANNED INFORMATION

The state department is supposed to include among its other activities the promotion of foreign trade, and the bureau of trade relations is supposed to have something to do with this func tion of the state department. As mat ter of fact, however, it seems that the bureau of manufactures is the only institution in Washington which ac- complishes anything worth mentioning for American commerce, and as this bureau is under the joint jurisdiction of two departments and seems to have the good favor of neither of them, it is very badly handicapped and is for tunate perhaps, that it is permitted to exist at all. It is almost impossible to obtain from the state department any information regarding the state of trade. with foreign countries that is less than two or three years old, and if the de- partment happens to have any infor- nation that may be of interest to the public it is systematically suppressed for fear that it might possibly be dis pleasing to some of the many countries which sustain diplomatic relations with the United States. It is probably due to this attitude of the state department that some of the consular officers mabr very brief and unimpOrtant reports, some send in reports one or two years after the events recorded have been published by the press and have ceased to be of public interest; and some never send in any reports at all. The latter appear to be the ones who get pro noted.

Of junketing trips there will never be an end.

In spite of all the talk of bet ter commercial relations between this county and South America little is be- ing done, in fact, to foster and increase trade with the republics of the southern portion of the western hemisphere ex- cept to send commissions there The eminent gentlemen who have been hon. ored with appointments as commission CTS to the conference at Buenos Ayres are likely to have a rattling good time, especially as congress proposes to as sign a transport for their accommida- tion at total cost "not to exceed $45,000' but as to the good they will accomplish one may be permitted to be somewhat sceptical.

MUCH IN A NAME

One of the things which has caused annoyance to manufactures has been the decision of the department of agri- culture that it is violation of the pure food laws as to misbranding, to call an article by a name which gives wrong impression, in the opinion of the department, as to the place of its origin. Thus, certain pickle manufac- turer makes continent and called it "India Relish.' Of course it was not made in India, and has no relation in innate or remote, to India. The depart ment held that it was case of mis- branding. In the same way, dealers have called their goods "white wine vinegar,' when the goods were made of diluted acetic acid and other ingred- ients, with no trace of white wine in them. Now the department has aroused the wine men by decreeing that "sher- ry' and "pOrt' are names of wines made in Spain, and that therefore these wines cannot be produced in this coun- try. It is held that American "ports' and "sherries' if so branded, are fraudulent. It does not matter that the claim is made that the names apply to types of wines, and not to places. The wines are made from grapes grown from imported stocks, and named for the wines of similar makes produced in Spain. Still, the department holds that they are misbranded. To call them imitation" port or sherry, however, as Dr. Wiley wants them to be called, would probably be as great a misrep- resentation as to let the name stand as T., ! IL. 4la rx,.E
 ed States, "Old English tapestry" is made in Philadelphia, Nottingham v curtains are turned out by the million in this country, Sumatra' tobacco is grown in the south, "Bessemer " steel is made in Pittsburg, and cham pagnes are made in New York even though they may not be so branded.

Proposed Amendment to Lii cense Saloons Has DOu-
 ble Edges
ANTI TREATING IS
 ONE OF FEATURES
Will Allow No Furniture or Stained Windows About
 Drinking Places

MACALESTER, Okla, March 26.- The proposed amendment to the con stitution of the state of Oklahoma, be- ing an amendment to Article I, Section :, relating to prohibition, contains many things foreign to any former legislation, attempted or accomplished, along this line in any state in the union. Some of the provisions are unique and, taken as a whole, while providing for the sale of intoxicants, make the penalties for violations of the law more severe than are those now provided for violations of the prohibitory law.
 In the beginning of the section. as proposed to be amended, the manufac- ture, sale, barter, giving away or other wise furnishing, except as therein pro- vided, of intoxicating liquors, is pro hibited; provided, that each incOrpor- ated city, town or village within the state of Oklahoma may license the man. ufacture and sale, of intoxicating liquors (ncluding whiskey, beer, ale and wine) subject to the provisions of that section.
 Then follows eighteen subdivisions of that section, prescribing how this may be carried out. An election is provided for when a petition is signed by p per cent of the number of qualified electors voting at the last preceding election. The mayor or other presiding officer of the town, city or village, may call the election at regular election, or, if filed more than ninety days before the time for such regular election, it may be called specially to vote on licensing the sale of liquors for five years.
 May Submit Two Plans
 Two plans shall be submitted, one for the sale of liquors to be drunk on the premises, for which a license of $2,000 per annum is fixed, and the other for liquors to be sold in original pack age, not to be drunk or consumed on the premises, and for which the license shall be $500. Elections are to be con ducted under the general election laws. A license board is created in each town, city or village so voting, to consist of four members and to be appointed by the presiding officer They shall draw a salary not to exceed $500 per annum and serve for two years.
 The board shall determine how many saloons shall be in each block or ward. Never shall the number exceed one for each 1000 of population. It may hear remonstrances and be sole judges of to whom licenses shall be issued. Appeals will lie, however, in the courts as in civil cases.
 The conviction of any person holding a license for violation of the law shall cause the license to be suspended for thirty days for the first offense and on a second conviction the license shall be forfeited. No license shall be issued

FAvoRs CIVIC cENTERs

The government is takinO an interest in the city planning idea. It is glad, whenever there is any local sentiment of the kind, to take into consideration the advisability ot locating government buildings with relation to municipal inn provements and the creation of "civic centers,' ' an idea which appeals to the artistic and the utilitarian sense of the best critics. There are notable in stances where public buildings have been located in places where they never could have been put but for the fact that political influences were stronger than business or artistic considerations. After they have been built it is late to remedy mistakes of that sort. With an intelligent and impartial jury, such mistakes should be few. Munici- pal identification would be advanced, as it should be, by the government s co ooperation; and it is because of the possibilities in this line with very small incidental expense, that there is something approaching national move ment for a national art referee body such as the proposed bureau of arts, or whatever it may be called,-and the creation of which was so strongly urged bv President Roosevelt and which is being considered by congress. As it seems to be meeting with no opposition, there is a strong probability that the bureau of arts may soon be an accOmp lished entity.

WATCHING THE CLOCK

The fact is that the session has be- gun to pail upon those members who have secured what they most desired in their appropriation bills, and whose one thought now is to get back home and see what possible rivals are in the field trying to win away their con stituents. A favorite pastime among the members is trying to guess the date of adjournment. There is very little upon which to base these estimates. as may be imagined from the fact that they range all the way from May
