THRONE OF THE CAESARS.
Thought to Have Been Found - Ex-
cavators in the Ancient
Ruins.

The Official Roman director Of exca-
vations thinks he has discovered the
throne OF the ancient Caesars, reports
the New York Times. The present ma
1esty, ruling from the seven hills, has
been to see it, and is seemingly not un-
willing to admit its pretensions. The
only description OF this imperial seat
50 far given is that it's covering or
ceiling is ornamented with beautiful
small squares Of stuceo. It is raised
dais standing near the chasm of Mar
Gus Curtius, Of all the gorges which
most renowned In human story.
Voltaire remarked that throne was
q composition of boards and velvet,
giving thus sign of its generally
meretiricious and transient character.
That Of the Caesars, however. stands
In history for solidity and ought to be
in it's elements as enduring as marble
or adamant. Probably we shall hear
all about it one Of these days, and per-
haps some American millionaire will
try to import it and give it a place
among his artistic treasures.
Lorenzo the Magnificent proposed to
bring the Holy sepulcher from Jerusa-
lem and set it up as a detail OF the
Menicean tomb, still the proudest Of
Florentine decorations. Bringing hith-.
or the Caesars throne would hardly be
. more ambitious exploit, though Rome
may be expected to battle against the
one as Jerusalem did, and successfully.
against the other.
First and last, no doubt, the line OF
the Caesars sat on innumerable
benches of pride, the luster from them
only second to that OF ''the living
throne; the sapphire blaze The i'm
perial suggestum unearthed by Prof,
Boni in the Forum is but one OF
these, as Britain's royal chair, going
back more or less authentically to the
times of Alfred. and still preserved, is
not the only one which the line OF
British sovereignty has pressed by "a
good many. A single indubitable seat
which had received the crowned Caes-
ars, one after another, from Octavius
to the ending of the line. would be a
trophy to accumulate upon it the glow
of history till all its dim courts and
aisles were flooded with its radiance.

CORN At THREE DOLLARS.
Under the Clever Manipulation o1
Women It Brought That
Price.

Up in Pike county, Missouri, where
the me mare ever gallant and the wo-
men fair and full Of sweet charity, q
record price for corn, and incidentally
added to the Golfers of the poor, reports
the st. Louis Republic.
It was in Frankford that the price
of corn rose to three dollars a bushel
under the clever manipulation of sew
eral charitable women, who sold their
gleanings in tie public square for the
cause Of charity.
The women of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church lof Frankford last week
set about to raise money for the poor
of their city. Messrs. NJ. J. and S. w.
Jones offered them q load Of corn from
their farm, just outside the city, pro-
vided they would go into the field,
gather the ears and husk the grain
themselves.
The women gladly accepted the offer
and, prodcuring farm van and span
of husky Missouri mules, set about
their task.
Ten women, each providing herself
with lunch, set out one morning late
~ at nine o o'clocok, leaving Frankford
and driving out to the Jones farm.
Driving into the field they started to
work, and by half-pa two that after
noon had husked enough to fill the
wagon to overf1owing.
Then, after a hasty bite Of lunch,
they commenced the return trip to
Frankford, driving into Main street,
where they auctioned OF the grain.
Standing in the public square in
front Of her husbands bank, Mrs. s. W.
Jones sold the corn to the highest bid
ders. When the 81 bushels had been
sold there was SO in the hands of the
cleaners for the poor. !.
It was a good price, even for Missouri
corn to have brought, but 1t was not
quite enough, and many OF the gallant
purchasers donated their cereal pur-
chases to be resold.
Then the auction began over again,
and when the last bushe1 had been re-
sold there was an additional $2O.50 for
the poor, the 81 bushels having brought
. total price Of $90.50.
