POL-I'S
NAzIMovA.

Madame Nazimoya, who will ap- pear at Polls tomorrow in Robert Bracco's amusing comedy, Com tesse Coquette," has fad which IS an uncommon one. It is in the pos session of curious and antique jewels that Nazimova finds amusement, and the lustrous cold and brilliant dia- mond makes but little appeal to the eminent Moscovite actress. In her collection of rare jewels may be found golden topazes, purple ame- thysts, curious white sapphires, beryls, black pearls and strangely colored gems from all over the world, and madame is constantly adding to her collection. A very beautiful ring in the Nazimova jewel case is a Benvenuto Collini of won derfully carved old silver. This sin gle treasure is almost priceless. An other ring in the marquise shape IS carved from solid piece of steel, which is imbedded with pink and yellow topazes. Still another ring is from the noted family of poisoners-- the Borgias of medieval Italy. This poison ring has a ruby for its gem, and looks innocuous enough. At the back of the curious setting. however, there is a tiny spring which when pressed releases from a hollow carved in the ruby drop of deadly liquid--that is to say, the poison might be released if it were there, but not since the middle ages has the ring done such terrible service. Al though the spring now yields to pressure, disclosing the tiny hollow in the heart of the jewel, it is quite empty now, and carries with it only the suggestion of it's potcrcy of yore. A necklet of unsual character is prized highly by Madame Nazimova. This was found in the tomb of the Scipios on the Appian Way in Rome. It is of Roman gold and is formed of series of tiny skulls of oxen favorite decoration in the time of the Caesars. It is curious to con- lecture what fair Roman matron or maiden of the great house of Scipio may at one time have deckcd herself out in this charming antique" Per haps the most prized gem of the Nazimova is a scarab, carved from stone, which was taken from the great Sphinx of Egypt. Prices $2, $1.50, s1, 75 cents and gallery 50 cents. Seats now on sale. Tele- phone 1884.

WIRE FENCES FOR TELEPHONES.
Used By Signal Corps in Directing
 Military Maneuvers.

"In the west and southwest, where there are long stretches of unbroken wire fences, these wires are frequent ly used to convey telephone messages from one point to another" said Cap tain John G. Souder of San Antonio, Tex, here on business before the de- partments.
 Tn some localities the fence wires are converted into regular telephone lines, with permanent equipment for practical use. These lines are often from ten to thirty miles long, and are great convenience to people of the ranches.
 "The United States Signal corps is we'll trained in the use of wire fences for telephone purposes. In the mili- tary maneuvers that take place in the ranch region the signal corps plays an important part in directing the movement of the troops by i'm provised telephones.
 Tn some localities where the coun- try is rough or heavily wooded it is impossible to convey the signals from one point to another by the usual methods of flags or other visual sig nals. It Is then the telephone is brought into play.
 Each detachment of signal corps men is equipped with field telephone attachment. It requires the work of but a minute or two to connect this attachment with a fence wire and tc get into direct communication with headquarters.
 "The use of the fence wire for tel ephone communication obviates the necessity of constructing temporary field telephone lines by the signal corps. It sometimes happens that a little difficulty is encountered in us- ing the wires on account of some poor connection or break, but is us- ually does not take long to discover and remove the cause of the trouble.
 "on some of the big ranches straight lines of wire fence fifty to seventy-five miles long are frequent ly found. These afford excellent op- portunity for military field service.
 As a matter of necessity all ranch fences must be kept in good repair. To do this fence riders are constantly employed. ed."-Washington Post.

LUNCHE0Ns FOR MEN.
A Form of Entertaining Which Be
 came Common Last Winter.

One of the forms of entertainment that fingered longest this spring was scarcely known until the winter just passed. This was the luncheon to which men were invited. Only few years ago men at a weekday luncheon were unheard of. But then there was less business uptown.
 It is the increase in the number of men at work above Twenty-third street that has brought into existence this form of entertainment. There are architects and brokers scattered along Fifth avenue almost to Central park. Then the number Of men who are able to do nothing is much larger than it was a decade ago. Another source of supply for these midweek gatherings is the foreigners, whC now come to New York In such num- bers that a certain representation from them may always be counted on It is now almost as easy for a woman to organize a luncheon on weekdayf and have men as we'll as women as it used to be to collect only women.
 Consequently there has been a de- cline In the popularity of the lun- cheOns for only women. They are possible now for young women onl, when there Is bridge to follow. 9th erwise there Is an undoubted lack oi some of the necessary spirit. lt Is no longer considered ungracious to in- quire on receiving the invitation Ii men are fO be present.
 One result Of the presence Of the men is to make luncheons soms- what shorter than on those less pop ular occasions on which women alone are present. There are few hos tesses able to summon to a weekday lunch only men whO do not have to work. Some consideration must be had for those who have tO get bach to their ofHees. There are often enough able to remain to make ont CT fuo tables of bridge. and there are women who coafess honestly that they never enjoy the game 60 much ss when After luncheon there are enough men tc play for an hour CT tive.

JACQUES
MEN AND WOMEN. 7"

The strong drama which Polls stock company is playing at the Jacques this week treats of prob- lem which is as vital to-day as it was several years ago, when David Belasco and William DeMille wrote it. The plays powerful story is about a deal in Wall street where an innocent man has to shoulder the blame of a big financial transaction while the guilty man is too much of a coward to confess his crime and clear the innocent. In a powerful scene in the third act, however, where the guilty broker sees a re- ligious picture on the wall in the moonlight, he repents and confesses. David NJ. Hartford and Miss Susan Van Duzer have excellent roles and. in fact, every player fin the big com pany has a part suited to his indi- vidual talents. Next Monday even ing a big benefit will be given at the Jacques for St Mary's hospital.

SLEEPING IN FACE OF ENEMY.
Uncomfortable Desire in Situation of
 Great Tension.

It is not an unknown thing for q soldier to fall asleep even when os- tensibly taking an active part in an action. A case in point is supplied by an interesting communication from London surgeon who served iii South Africa. He writes:
 Any one who has seen men in situ- ations of great tension knows that some of them-in fact small minor ity of them may be overcome by an uncomfortable desire to sleep. 1t af fects some men more than others. At Honning Spruit, June, 1900, the writer happened to be the only surgeon OH the spot when Colonel Bullock (now General BullOck) was attacked for about nine hours by a Boer force double his own in numbers, better armed and assisted by artillery. We were without this invaluable assist ance. The Boers failed to take the post.
 During the attack the writer visited a trench in which one man was badly hit and another was lying apparently dead, except that he had not the color of man killed in action. The writer turned him over to get a better look at him and found the man had been sound asleep: and this was not the only case of sleeping that day.
 Colonel Bullock's force were called upon to repel an attack at about I n. m. on empty stomachs. were obliged to lie face downward in shal- low trenches and endure the shell md rife fire from all but invisible foes. and in the sun. after sleepless night of travel in railway trucks. few of them went to sleep. The main cause, the writer believes was the tension of the situation In the absence of active physical exertion.
 The writer felt the same desire for sleep. but actiCe employment kept him awake. The wounded, excent the most severely wounded, soon sue cumbed to the beautiful action of this natural anaesthetic.

quently make returns of from half a castellano to a castellano, and occa- sionally as high as two castellanos per day, or from a dollar and quar- ter to five dollars The same may be said of the main Atrato which has great width and excellent conditions for dredging.
 The Berbera river has shown re- suits in gold and platinum by diving that one hesitates to believe despite good evidence. An American engi- neer who spent twelve years in that region says: T have never seen re- suits from the bedrock of the Negua in the main stream, but have banned very fair returns from the Berbera. But the late Senor Saldariafa, an An tioguian miner, showed me a typical spot where he and some companions during an especially dry spell such as never occurred when 1 was in that region, had managed to reach bed rock near the bank and cleaned up the gravel from something less than three square yards with a return of nearly two pounds avoirdupois of gold. have myself seen miners mak- ing over five dollars per day in the beds of the tributaries of the Nemota, Nawita, and Conception, and am as- sured that batea full from the few inches above bedrock frequently runs as high as two or three dollars, indicating very high value per cu- bic yard when multiplied by the 150 bateas that it takes to make a yard, and instances that I have seen make me believe the truth of this state- ment.'
 Such wealth as this makes one cease to wonder at the invasion of the capital.
 Gold has magnetic qualities that the baser metal, iron, never had. The practical man will at once see the possibilities of this Choco region by dredging, to say nothing of the ex- ploration of the veins-the source of this wondrous gold supply. .....
 With the closer amalgamation of the two Americas in a business sense there is no reason why the proper de- velopment of this vastly rich country should not be undertaken by Ameri- cans at an early date.

THE ENGLISH MARATHON TRIAL
Appleby Collapsed Suddenly-0thel
 News of the Event.

In the recent cabled reports of the English Marathon trial given under the auspices of the Polytechnic liar riers no mention was made of F. Ap- pleby, holder of the amateur record for fifteen miles. Appleby took par in the race and was up with the front brigade all the way, but he collapsed suddenly half mile from the finish The route was over the same course but little shorter than the regular Marathon, the distance being 22 miles 1,420 yards. The weather was wretched, as sleet fell all day.
 At five miles F. Lord of the Wib- sey Park A. C., was in the lead, the time being 27 minutes 12 seconds and at this point Duncan, the subse- quent winner, was within few yards of the leader. At Uxbridge, which is just ten miles from the start, Lord still led with Duncan second and Ap- pleby third. The time was 65 min utes 19 seconds. At Renslip, the twelve mile post, Beale of the Poly technic Harriers shot into the lead The time was 1 hour 6 minutes SC seconds. Beale began to draw away from the crowd soon after, and at 2C miles he had a lead of 100 yards The time was 1 mour 56 minutes 32 seconds.
 A mile from home Duncan set sal for the leader and soon went by him and when he struck the drive was 10C yards to the good. Duncan finished as fresh as paint, although the re- port sent here was to the effect thai he was out at the finish.

CAB SERVICE IN MEXICO.
Close Tab on the Hackmen-Difrer- ent Kinds of Vehicles and Charges

Tn the City of Mexico there is the most complete inspection of the cab service I've ever seen any, where. said Colonel J. NJ. Strange of St Louis.
 The police in the capital of the sister republic keep such close tab on the hackmen that 1t is the rarest thing for any argument to ever rise between a cabby and his fare. The stranger speedily finds out that there is an easy way of telling the difference of tariffs in the public conveyances. The cabs are differ entiated by the flags they carry and stripes on the side of the vehicle. It Is a color scheme. Blue cabs are s1 an hour and red cabs only 75 cents. The blue flag rigs are of course trife smarter and have horses shade better than the cheaper ones denoted by the red flag and crimson stripes. Also the pilgrim from the United States must take notice that If the top of the carriage is thrown back he must pay an additional g cents per hour.
 Hack inspectors are kept at reg ular stations through the city. When cab is seen to leave the railway station it Is stopped by one of these officials. who takes its number. the number of passengers. their desti- nation and the time. This informa- ton goes 10 the central office and is recorded. All this trouble is taken in the interest of the public. and that is why one gets good serv- ice and is rarely imposed on by the public jehus Of the Mexican capital. '" Baltimore American
