1t was in 1910 that Miss Nesbitt
swore allegiance to the photoplay,
joining the Edison Company. Two
summers as the star of the Edison
English players gave Miss Nesbitt an
excellent opportunity to display her
genius in a wide variety of roles,
ranging from Welsh peasant girls to
princesses. There were many ex-
ceptional films made during these
two trips abroad, in all of which Miss
Nesbitt assumed the leading role.
They include ''The Necklace of ,Ra-
meses," "Stanton's Last Fling" ga
Daughter of Romany," ''The Antique
Brooch, 'The Foreman's Treach-
cry" and the Coast Guards Sister"
Miss Nesbitt rises to the veriest
heights of dramatic expression in her
wonderful characterization of Mrs.
Lyons in ''The Price of the Necklace"
and Mary Wales in "The Man Who
Disappeared" series.

Beauty, grace, feminine charm
these are but the foundations upon
which Miriam Nesbitt has built her
successful career. Serious purpose,
unfagging energy and careful study
have made her one of the foremost
dramatic actresses appearing in
photo-plays.
She was particularly fortunate in
her preparation for a theatrical ca
reer, having attended school in Chi
cagofi where she was born, and in
st. Louis. She then went to Mary
Sharpe College, Winston, Tennessee,
thence to the Wheatcroft Dramatic
School. It'was. during a performance
of the students of this school that
Miss -Nesbitt came under the eye of
the Frohmans. Their estimation of
her unusual ability is apparent from
the fact that sch was Immediately
engaged as James K. Hackett's lead
ing woman. That the confidence
which these experienced managers
placed in. her was Justified is proven
from the fact that Miss Nesbitt has

He was still in a very nervous condition at the hos pital on Sunday.
 It was learned that after Mrs. Ames left the rooming house, she was seen walking excitedly up and down Broad way and that she then crossed the street to the Broadway pharmacy, where she wanted to buy chloroform- When told that they did not have any and could not send out after any. she went out, slamming the door after her

 From there she must have gone at once to the town hall steps where she drank the poisonous drug.

DRINK RETARDs REPAIRS
 TO BRITISH WARsHIPs.
Government Urged to Adopt Total
 Prohibition.

London. May 2. s.45 p. m.-The seri- ous effect that drink Is having on the repairs to the warship and transport services and on the output of muni- and officers throughout the country which were published tonight in the form of White Paper.
 From Vice Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, commander in chief of the home fleets, down, the officers respon- slble for the navy believe that drink Is the cause of the short hours worked by the men in private yards. They describe conditions as deplorable and urge on the government the necessity of adopting total prohibition of alco- holic drinks or restrictions on their sale.
 The slackness of the men. it is al- legged, Is due to the fact that they are earning more money than usual and that while they have any to spend condemned, as 1t is contended that the double wages earned that day lead the men to lay off two days during the week.
 Vice Admiral Jellicoe in a letter to the admiralty on this subject says:
 T am very uneasy about the labor situation in the Clyde and the Tyne. l sent telegram or two altely. You may think l am exceeding my sphere of action in doing so, but efficiency of this fleet is SO affected by 1t that felt 1t my duty to wire today.
 An officer in responsible position has arrived here and his account of things on the Clyde is most disquiet- ing. He said the men refused alto- gether to work on Saturday afternoon. that they took Wednesday afternoon every week, if not the whole of We'd nesday, and worked on Sunday be- cause they got double pay for it. He said also that they worked only in a half hearted manner.
 My destroyer dockings and refits are delayed in every case by these la Dor difficulties and they take twice as long as they need to. I feel you ought to know the facts and so I put them before you"

Mrs. A. S. Ames Drank Drug Town Hall Steps Saturday Nsht-In Hospital in Precarious Condition-Is Wife of Danielson Man.-He Also Goes to Backus Hospital for Treatment. XsI&% l

Within a few minutes after she had bought three ounces of chloroform at a drug store Saturday night, a little after Il o'clock, Mrs. Albert S. Ames, whose residence is on Commonwealth avenue, Boston, drank the chloroform on the town hall steps at the Union street side of the building, uttered three piercing shrieks and fell uncon- scious on the steps. where she was found by Police Captain Dennis J. Twomey. He had heard her cries and from police headquarters and out through the side door to the steps, where hc found Mrs. Ames stretched out unconscious the broken bottle by her side. where she had dropped 1t.
 After carrying her down into the and attempting s"Tne restorative meas ures, Captain Twomey got Dr. Louis T. Cassidy. When the doctor first ar- rived the woman was pulseless, but a hypodernic injection brought a feeble nutter of her puNe and the am bulance was sent for to take her to the Backus hospital.
 Up to a late hour Sunday at the hospital. she was still delirious and in a. dangerous condition, at times crying out for pistol to shoot her self and blaming the doctors and att tenants Tor DTlpSlnS uST Ddch IHSO this world
 When she was found by the captain, he thought her dead at first when he saw the complete state of collapse in which she was as he could feel no pulse and nothing that he could do brought any signs of returning life. He tried to give her some stimulant, but she could not lake it and bathing her head vita water, while he was wait ing for the doctor to come, also brought no signs of animation.
 The woman was unknown to him and after she had been sent to the hospital he set about finding somc trace of someone who knew her. This resulted in finding a young man who had seen her earlier in the evening on Broadway walking with a man and the clerk in 8 drug store was found where she had tried to buy the chlvr- oform.
 Through this means 1t was found that she had been at the Martin house on Broadway and her husband. who resides in the Phenix building. Daniel son, and is supervisor of schools for

kAIsER's GOLDEN HOARD.
Indemnity Received From France Was
 Stored for the Day"

Out of the huge war indemnity paid by France to Germany at the conclu- sion of the Franco-Prussian war & 6,000,000 in gold was carefully stored by. the Kaiser in medieval watch tower near Spandau. For years past the golden store has been annually increased by the sum of g 800, 900, for the treasure tower has been regarded by the Germans as their war chest, filled ready for The Days" Appar- ently the Kaiser is now making heavy inroads on his hoard. London bankers have discovered that consid- erable sums of gold which have reached them via Scandinavia are made up Of new unworn sovereigns of the old "shield' pattern, with the and shield on the other bearing the date 1872. It is known that a consid- erable portion of the gold paid to Germany by France in 1872 con- sisted of freshly minted English sovereigns and the presumption that the coins arriving in London were part of the indemnity is strengthened by the fact that the original Bank of England labels of 1872 were found on some Of the bags containing the gold.
 At the outbreak of the war it was estimated that the Kaisers treasure tower contained z 25, ,000, 900. It is a striking proof that Germany has for years prepared for war. Although in the past the country has at times been in serious financial straits recourse has never been made to this fund. Elab- crate means are taken to guard the treasure. There are devices which can instantly flood the steel plate subterranean treasure chambers with 15 feet of water from the River Havel. Armed guards watch the tower day and night. and prior to the out break of war the Emperor personally inspected the treasure chest twice every year. Mechanically balanced de- vices exist at Spandau which are capable of checking the whole of the vast hoard of gold in a few hours, and the absence of a single coin can be detected.-Tid Bits.
