ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A WRITER says that the average limit of sus-
tanned attention in an audience is about twenty
minutes, and that it Is very difficult for
speaker to interest his hearers thirty minutes.
IL was not so in the old days when we had
greet orators, and it is not so now when an
eloquent speaker has a message to deliver. But
for the average talker twenty minutes 10 long
enough.
The most curious and remarkable relic of
antiquity in the world, the holy coat and the
iron crown not excepted, now lies among the
treasures Of the Abbott collection which is
temporarily deposited in the museum of the
New Hork Historical Society, says the Phiadel-
pnIa Press This unique memento of the dis
tant past is nothing less than the signet ring
once worn by CheOps, the builder of the largest
or the great Egyptian Pyramids. The finding
OF TINS ring was the browning effort OF the
great DR.. Abbott's life of research among the
musty tombs of the cradle of the human race
As noted above, Cheops was the builder Of the
pyramid which bears his name, and as though
u were his intention to make the structure
pear witness 70 his greatness down through all
the ages, the very stones and bricks of which it
Is composed are stamped with his name. Cheops
lived nearly $500 years ago, his great pyramid
being relic OF the days when the great nations
of antiquity were in their youth vet we of the
last decade OF the nineteenth century can have
the supreme satisfaction Of gazing upon the
very ring he wore so proudly upon his royal fin
ger. The hieroglyphics are very minute, vet
very accurately and beautifully executed the
ring itself being of finest gold and weighing
marry an ounce. The oval signet bears the
name OF Cheops, which is in hieroglyphics in per.
feet accord with the stamp on the bricks of the
inside walls of the great pyramid. This re-
msrkable relic was found in a tomb at Gzeh.

MA2fAfe-long PolItioian

Mr.. Julius Sterling Morton, who has
been offered and has accepted the secretary
ship of agriculture, has been in politics all
his life. He went to Nebraska when it was
a territory, and was soon efterward elected
its secretary. He lie now 81 years of age,
and is as robust and handsome a specimen
of manhood as one could wish to see.
Nebraska was admitted into the union in
1861, and Mr.. Morton was candidate for
governor. The republicans were the
stronger, however, and his ambition was
not gratifed. de has taken q prominent
part IN every campaign since Nebraska be-
came a state, and has rendered the Demo-
cratic party excellent service He favors q
sound currency, and has become noted in
the northwest for his uncompromising fight
against the tariff doctrine Of the Repub-
lican party. Although he has been several
| times candidate for governor, and was re-
Gently a candidate for United State senator
he has never held high Office, because his
party has always been in the minority in
Nebraska.
In some OF the republican journals the
statement has been made that he is
cranky peculiar" and 'odd" As a
matter Of fact he is man of
very high character and marked ability.
His crRnkiness consists In his opposition to
everything calculated TO mislead the peo-
| pie.
Mr.. Morton is we'll prepared for the du.
ties Of Secretary of Agriculture. He is a
trained aRriculturist and publicist. He is
the author of "Arbor day" and his farm
near Nebraska City is one of the finest in
the west Mr.. Cleveland does not seem to
have made mistake in offering place in
his cabinet to Mr.. Morton.

A London cable dispatch in the New
York Sun tells a story OF deception and
fraud practiced upon a rich young English
man that quite overmatches the famous
Ray Hamilton Eva Mann case in New Y ork
some time ago. The facts came OUT during
a suit in the chancery court. Eighteen
years ago Frederick Coxon, then a young
man, returned to his home at Newcastle
after a long wandering abroad, bringing
with him a wife and child. The incident
was painful one for the Coxon family, be-
cause the child was admitted to have been
born before wedlock. After a time the
situation was accepted, and the little one
became a great favorite of all the family.
A little later Coxon was killed while hunt
ing. Ne died intestate and the members
of his family surrendered half OF their por-
ton OF $4,000 to which they were entitled
to the child. In 1879 the widow married
again. Ten years later her husband began
divorce proceedings. A search OF her papers
revealed evidence that the child supposed TO
be Coxon's was neither his nor his wifes.
The latter had purchased the infant for e5
from servant girl who was it's mother.
Coxon all his life believed the boy was his
son, and so did his relatives
after his death until these facts
were brought out. The relatives brought
suit against the former Mrs. Coxon to re-
cover the money advanced to her for the
child's support during the past twelve OF
fifteen years. The woman admitted all the
facts as set forth, but denied the right TO
recover money already spent for the benefit
Of the boy, who Is now 20 years old. The
court decided that che must refund all that
she received.

A story is told in political circles that Mr..

Straus brothers, Nathan and Isidor, "gavs
about $4,000 apiece to the Cleveland cam
psign fund, and made Mr.. Cleveland glad
by saying that they would expect nothing
whatever from the President-elect. When
Mr.. Cleveland went to Lakewood, accord

make tender of q cabinet place to Mr..
Straus In order to make his heart feel good.
Feeling that the appointment would be
promptly declined the President is said 90
have made it, whereupon he experienced
the uncertainty of human expectations by
his friend and host saying that he could not
decline the Presidents noble and unex-
pected generosity, upon which, according
to the legend, the President had to summon
up some reasons OF subsequent nature
showing that the acceptance ought to be re-
considered

Sterling Morton.


Front the Ne,o York Evening Post (Ind)
The selection of J. Sterling Morton as Secre-
tary Of Agriculture in the cabinet of President
Cleveland Is in every way commendable Mr.
Morton belongs to the best class OF democratic
partisans partisan he has always been, but
one whose aims have ever been to make the
party worthy of success by adherence to sound
principles and by the nomination of honorable
candidates, Although a citizen of state where
the democrats have had no chance, until very
recently, Of political promotion, he has kept up
the fight for tariff reform, without wavering,
for twenty years, and at times when he seemed
TO be the only man in Nebraska who understood
the subject or cared anything ABOUT 1t. Ii is an
occasion for rejoicing among the friends Of that
cause that Mr.. Aortoh's unfaERing zeal and
personal worth have been recognized by the
Presdent-elect. 1t should be added that Mr.
Morton is admirably fitted for the duties of the
department OF agriculture.

TIE Condition of the Treesurv

From the Ne'0 York Commercial Bulletin (Ind.l
The fact is that the treasury is by no means in
so serious condition. as respects the conf
dence of the public, as some politician and some
SPECTATORS have found it convenient to imply
Distrust OF the ability OF the government to
meet its obligations in gold can hardy be said
to exist as yet. The business world well under
stands that the United States cannot under any
circumstances afford to have its currency de-
preciated, and that its power to sell bonds and
TO raise money by that sale IL it should ever be
necessary, will enable it to withstand long and
tremendous strain upon the treasury. In view
OF this fact, 1t is wise to lessen apprehensions,
rather than to increase them by declaring that
the last emergency has arrived.

Neat, But Not sa1ahIs.

The splendid souvenir half dollar gift of
s2,500,o00 by the United States to the
worlds fair, from which the manager ex>
pected to raise another $2,5OO,OOO by selling
the coin at double price. has been disap-
pointing. The coins had the benefit Of ex-
tensive advertising before they were issued,
fancy prices were paid for some Of the
first pieces taken from the dies and quite a
lively trade in them was driven for two or
three weeks. Souvenir half dollars became
fad; but an extremely short-lived one, it
appears, to the sorrow of the fair people.
For with all the rush and all the advertising
only 1929. 900 worth Of the coins at the mar
ket value Of 81 each have been sold, and
there remain in the shipping kegs over
100000 worth, at quoted value, of the
bright and pretty pieces awaiting souvenir
hunters.
The issuing of these coins was for the
purpose Of raising money TO carry the fair
to completion by May /, the opening day.
But the coins did not "take' with the peo-
pie, with the result that the fair managers
are lin hole" financially. and have con-
cluded to offer for sale new issue OF bonds,
secured by the gate receipts.
Another issue of souvenir coins is to be
| forthcoming shortly, for the benefit of the
womsn's department OF the fair. Their
face value will be % cents each, but the
ladies expect to sell them for considerably
more than that. They also want their
money at once. If they are wise they will
profit by the experience of the men with the
| souvenir halves, and be content with a
profit little smaller than the "Dutchman's
per cent" on their quarters.

One Royal Pensions r.
From the Chicago Herald CDem

FTon The Chicago Herald (Dem).
The proposal to pension royal parsonage on
the treasury of the United States is in direct
conflict with the constitutional prescription that
mo title of nobility shall be granted by the
United States" While the Queen of Hawaii is
not indebted to this country now for her title,
she would be after we made her country part
Of ours and provided her with an income as a
sovereign. fhe proposal is thoroughly vicious,
unlawful and ridiculous, and it is surprising
that man of the Presidents common sense
should make It.

The important foreign appointments to
be made by Mr.. Cleveland shortly after be
becomes President are now receiving the
attention Of the ex-cabinetmakers Of the
press. Two or three days ago they had
Henry Willard slated for minister to Berlin,
but that has been changed, and he is now
talked Of as minister to Russia. Ex-Secretary
Baysrd is written down for minister TO
England. Some doubt as 10 his serving the
full term in that capacity, however, is ex-
pressed. The wise ones say he will be ap-
pointed to the supreme bench upon the re-
tirement Of Justice Blatchford or Justice
Field. Such rumors are worth only so
much confidence as the reader has a mind
20 give them; at the same time they are
interesting az showing the drift Of public
opinion.
