REVENUE FROM INHERITANCE TAX.

In the execution of the inheritance tax
ing with exceptional success, and the
flattering results of this years diligence
in that state will stimulate other CONF
monwealths to emulation First of an
an immense saving was provided for
when Governor Odell persuaded the
paid Controller Coler of New York and
other county officials.
Although the new law did not go into
operation until April 1, the expense of
collecting the inheritance tax has been
SO reduced that for the semi annual
period between January l and July l.
the falling off is from 1914 per cent to
s 1-3 per cent. The revenue from in
heritance for the period referred to was
$685. or total Of So, 500, 900 for the
fiscal year. The collection for the pres
ent year is estimated at $4,000, 600. .<
In only one year, the fiscal term end
ing October /, 1900, was the state rev.
enue from this source exceeded. Then
it reached the sum of $4,3s4, SO3o7.
The amounts collected under the in
hertance tax law in recent years show
the following fluctuations: 1896, $780,

when the appraisers act of last winter
goes into effect, as it is only operative
at present in four counties. The drift of
legislation in New York on the subject
of the inheritance tax has been along the
line of reduction in the outlay for col

York laws will serve as a model for
other legislatures. -

STORIES OF JUDGE MORRIS.

with obituary anecdotes several papers
have been printing stories Of this we'll
known humorist Among them are the fol-
lowing, all of course, Observation-Disclosures.
for Judge Morris more than lives up to his
reputation:
1t was in Lord Morris court that one Of
the strangest judgments on record was
once given. 1t was an abduction case, the
onense being OF q purely technical char
acter. The judge listened patiently to the
whole Of the evidence, and them address,
ing the jury, said:
verdict Of guilty in this case, but you will
easily see that think 1t Is a trifing thing,
which regard as quite unfit to occupy my
time. 1t IL more valuable than yours. At
any rate. it is much better paid for. Find.
therefore. the prisoner guilty of abduction,
which rests, mind We, on four points-the
father was not averse. the mother was not
opposed the girl was willing and the boy
was convaynient."
The jury found the prisoner guilty. and
the judge sentenced him to remain in the
dock till the rising of the court! Hardly
had he delivered sentence than, turning to
the sheriff. Lord Morris said:
Let us go, anu. cooking at the prisoner,
s,ii at once, and God bless you both!''

spoke of Mr.. Gladstone as a heaven born

One of the most interesting facts that
have transpired of late in the financial
world relates to the First National bank
of New York. It seems that when the
capital stock of the institution was in
creased the old stockholders received 4
special dividend amounting to 1900 per
cent. Such dividend had never been
equaled in the history of the national
banking system in the United States.

The great wes, is thoroughly alive to exposition and the necessity of being Vcll represented there. Montana is wide awake and a bill has been intro duced in the legislature appropriating S50,O00 fe the purpose of making an exhibit. The Helena (Mont) Daily Record of January 2jth contained the following:

Everything is going so well out west that there seems to be no neces- sity for any members Of the executive committee to come ut. as was contem- plated.
 Tn Wyoming a bill has been intro duced appropriating S15OGO, and that state will make a handsome display of its coal. copper and petroleum. Ore gon will appropriate S30,000 and Wash ington $j000O.
