justices were present The three cases are those
of Boyd. Sutton & Co., and Steinback Co., OF
New York, and Marshall, Field & Co., of Chi
cago. Three points were involved in the decis-
ion of these suits, and the court heard all cases
as one. and made an order by which each OF the
attorneys representing the firms was assigned
one of the points at issue TO be reviewed in the
opening argument. W. w. Smith, OF New York,
argued the bounty clause, contending that the
bounties were unconstitutional and inyalidated
the whole act. Edwin B. Smith, the ex-assist-
ant attorney general. now OF New York. argued
that the reciprocity feature was the delegation
OF the taxing powell to the president. which
vitiated the whole act W. n. Bliss, OF Chicago,
argued that the law was unconstitutional be-
cause OF the omission of the tobacco rebate sec

Bartholdf's Model.
New York Letter.

New York Letter
The death of Nine. Bartholdi, az announced
from Paris last week will be sad aiIction to her
son, the well-known sculptor who designed the
statue OF Liberty Lighting the World" which
stands in New York bay. In conversation with
NJ Bartholdi few years ago he informed me
that he had taken his mother q model for the
figure OF Liberty, and she was not only
patient model, but a most enthusiastic one
Although well advanced in years at the
time the statue was begun, she was never
for her artist son day after day Her helpfuness
and words of cheers were more than an encour-
agement to the sculptOr-they were an in spira-
ton. Without the aid of the woman, who has
just died at the age of 80, the young artist might
not havo been sustained to complete the great
work which has so much extended his fame
and endeared him to all Americans. Her face
will endure for all time as that of the grandest
statute of liberty ever conceived.

He Lived a Double Life.

CINCINNATI, July l5.-John Roberts
passed as single man. He was rich
and courted, but to all appearances lived
a bachelor life. A year or 30 ago he
died. Then came forward Miss Alice
Nickert, who claimed possession of the
estate, worth something like 100000,
setting up the claim that she had for
years lived with Roberts as his wife un-
der an assumed name.- The Roberts
family started in to fight the case, and it
has dragged some months through the
courts. Today Miss Nickert accepted
$14, 900 cash to drop the suit She had
secured about 500, 600 from Roberts dur

invested in realty, and she has lot Of

The origin of testaments is lost in OBJ

after the first institution of private prop
erty. Eusebius says that Noah made a
will soon after the food wherein he dis
posed of the whole world. He was GER
tainly possessed of a considerable landed
estate, but Eusebius' story of the testa-
ment in writing and witnessed under his
seal needs confirmation.

however, We do find mention of will,
wherein Jacob bequeathed to his son Jo-
seph twice as much as to his other chill
dren. This was not a testament in writ
ing. but verbal or ''nuncupative' testa-
ment, declared by the testator ''in ex-
tremis' before witnesses. and depending
upon oral testimony.
Such ''nuncupative" testaments were
at one time recognized in English law,
but in the eighteenth century Black
stone says they were fallen into disuse,

tradition from an old Saxon treatise:
''Some assert that the bisse xrus or leap

prayed to God that the sun ,night stand
still for one days length. that he might
sweep the heather from the land that
God had granted him and his followers.
1t is true that the sun did stand still for
one days length over the city of Gebaon.
but the day went forward in the same
manner rs other days. And the bissex-
