ter one year of wedlock. Then she
 became room clerk on the sixth floor at the Waldorf.
 MT. Lincoln is now stopping at the Waldorf, his home while in the East.
 After bridal trip it is not unlikely
 that the room clerk and cashier will dwell in one of the suites on the sixth
 floor, where she was once stationed.
 MT. Lincoln is thirty-eight, and the
 son of Abraham Lincoln, retired
 Chicago merchant. He was a mining engineer in the West for several
 years.
 La Belle Otero, the world famous
 Spanish beauty, who dances when she has nothing else on her mind, declares and the discriminating section of
 New York agrees with her-that a
 woman does not touch the zenith of
 beauty until she is forty years old. Incidentally, Otero, like every other siren sure of her charms, is not ashamed to tell her own age, and frankly admits to forty-one
 Every woman of middle age and riped beauty may chose between the
 splendid forties'' and the terrible forties', according to the Spanish dancer. "Loveliness'' she defines as "a living thing made of beauty, charm, grace-physical attractions, yes-and or the way to use them.
 Here is the triumph of the woman of forty Why, the munitions of the very young man are unerring in this matter. The youth of seventeen says the lovely Otero-begins with a "grande passion" for a woman of for ty. Instinct tells him that she is the loveliest. Girls of twenty-five are still getting the sand out of their eyes, according to Otero. At thirty they {o am young thing.' At thirty-five a woman has known no emotion save the satisfaction of ruling, and it is only at forty that she wakes com pleltely to the pulsing life of things.
 New York smiled grimly this week it can do so when it wants to-over Hammerstein, the New York impress ario, who plants to show the British Capitol something worth the while with his new million dollar grand opera house, as denying the report of his marriage to Mme. Alvarez, the grand opera diva. In his operatic career, the impressionable Oscar has been reported at various times as en- shared by the charms of Mary Gar den, Trentini, and other song birds who have been appearing before the public under his management, but they proved to have little foundation in fact. The impresario does not mind having his name linked with his artists now because he is fancy free, his wife having recently divorced him, but he was not always so adamant to such associations. He is nearing the three score and ten mark and marriage does not appeal to him as likely to offer him any advantages that would compensate him for the loss of his freedom. Hence his friends here are prepared to discount in ad- vance any reports from London con- corning ambitions in the matrimonial line, without waiting for his authorized denial.
 The institution of a Board of In- ebriety. by the city is causing deep concern to a class here, which while not so large as it used to be, is still a potential force. The board was pro- vided for in an act passed by the Leg islature of 1910, and makes possible the establishment of hospital and industrial colony to receive as inmates persons suffering from habitual in- ebriety. Whenever any male person is arrested for public intoxication the board must be notified by telephone and the name and address of the per- son arrested noted. A field officer will then investigate the case and find out whether the prisoner has any per- son depending upon him for support and all other pertinent facts concern ing him. If it is found that he has not been arrested before he may, af- ter recovering from his intoxication, sign a request for his immediate re- lease. In this request he must state his name and address, what persons are dependent upon him for support, 1,s- and before he can be released must certify that he has not been arrested for public intoxfcation within the twelve preceding months. The act also provides:
 That any male person who is a res ident of the city of New York, and who is adjudged by a court of record to be an inebriate, may, upon his own application or upon the petition of a relative or of the Commissioner of Public Charities or of the Board of Trustees of Bellevue and Allied Hos pitals, and upon the certificate of two medical examiners in lunacy, be com mitted by such court to the board for a period of not less than one year nor more than three years
 The definition of an intoxicated per son, given by the act, follows:
 "A person who is incapable of prop erly conducting himself or his af- fairs, or is dangerous to himself or others, by reason of habits of period ical. frequent or constant drunkenness, induced either by the use of alcoholic or other liquors, or of opium, mor- phine, or other narcotic or intoxicat- ing or stupefying substance
 The board has the power to parole inmates when their condition warrants it. If any person committed to the hospital or industrial colony is finan- cially able to pay his way the board can require him to pay for his main tenance and the care given him.
 According to the statement imputed | to officers of the Red D liner Phila- helphia, arriving here last week from Venezuelan ports, it is a case of sizes up between President Gomez, of that republic, and his predecessor, Castro, | whose activity is causing much anx- iety there.
 Among the revolutionary element | here which thrfves on trouble in the l South American republics, this is in- terpreted to foreshadow an early blow | ing up of the Gomez administration. |
 The chief officer of the ship said: | That popular opinion in that republic | Is against the administration of Pres | ident Gomez and said that he would | not be surprised to see Castro come i into power again.
 Castro is in hiding in the hills be- | hind Montecello,' said he, "and it | would not surprise any of us who l
