This ring is known as the " Han Pek" Jewel

years ago. In that dynasty the court officials,
when having any audience with the Emperor.
held this ring with both hands, thrusting their
fingers into the opening, and gu irding against
moving their hands while addressing the
throne. 1t was used as an emblem of submis-
sion, or respect for their sovereign. 1t had been
buried with its owner, was unearthei from the

GETTING ANXIOUS.
Look Out for Squalls on Wednesday
Someone VIII Get Left

WASHINGTON, May 5th.-Among politicians
tonight interest centers entirely in the appoint
ments that the President will make during the
coming week. Yesterday he told a delegate
from Kentucky that the appointments of Col
lectors of Internal Revenue would be made on
Wednesday, which is known as Treasury Day
at the White House.
Among other appointments to be settled on
that day will be that of Chief of the Bure au of
Engraving and Printing and First Comptroller
OF the Treasury. Upon the result of the first
place will depend very much the Public Printer.
should Meredith be appointed as Chief of the
Bureau, then it is generally believed that
Palmer will not be appointed Public Printer,
but If Meredith fails then Palmer stands an ex-
cellent chance to be successful.
Illinois politicians pooh-pooh this statement of
the case and affect to believe that both Mere
9th and Palmer will be successful. This, how
ever, is not likely as both offices pay the same
salary, 81 800 per year, and both are free from
civil service as TO the minor appointments.
Consequently the heaos will WELD tremendous
power in patronage appointments and it is not
believed the President will look to State that
always goes Republican and does not need of
fees to win
