Judge Bazille, of the Ramsey coun-
ty probate court, held that the inher-
itance law passed by the last legisla-
ture and embodied in the 1902 laws,
is unconstitutional.
This law was passed in the extra
session last winter and provides,
among other things that near rela-
tives inheriting from an estate shall
pay tax of one-half of one per cent
on legacy of $4,000 or over, and
that remote heirs receiving $4,000 or
more shall pay ten per cent.
Judge Bazille refuses to appoint APP
praisers in the matter of the estate
of Emerson w. Peet, and of his own
motion raised the point and declared
the new law unconstitutional because
the amendment to the constitution
passed in 1894, and which is still in
effect, provides that the tax imposed
shall not exceed five per cent.

Jenny LIMBS SALUTE.
Incident of Fifty Years Ago Told OF
How She HOnored the Glorious
Star-SpangIed Banner.

Fifty years ago, when Jenny Lind
was singing in New York, the Amer
lean frigate, ST. Lawrence, returning
from a cruise abroad, came into the
harbor. The young midshipmen, on
the first night of their shore leave,
went to hear the famous singer.
The next day the boys, to express
the emotions that her wonderful
voice had stirred in them, called on
her in body. They hardly expect
ed that she would receive them, but
she did; and she was so charmed
by their youthfulness and ingenious
ness that when they timorously
asked her if she would like to see
their ship, she accepted the invita-
ton. Then, growing holder, they
asked her to luncheon, and she ac-
cepted that invitation, too, relates
Youths Companion.
When, on the appointed day, she
came on board with her companion,
the captain saw her from his cabin
and recognized her.
There is nothing more strict than
quette among officers of all ranks.
OF the three messes-the captains
table, the ward-room and the steer
age mess, where the midshipmen
ate-no officer, from captain down,
would make himself one of a COM
pany at another mess unless ,espe-
cially hidden.
In this case the captain rang the
bell for the orderly.
"Tell the gentlemen of the steer
age mess" he said, "that the cap
tain is going ashore, and that the
cabin is at their disposal if they
care to use it."
The luncheon, however, was eaten
in the steerage. But after the pleas
ant meal was over the boys proudly
invited their guest into the captains
cabin, where they took coffee.
"Ask her to sing something" whis-
pered the paymaster's clerk.
"I'll thrash you if you dare!" re-
turned one of the midshipment, un-
der his breath.
The ward-room officers had guests,
too. They brought up guitars and
sat on the poop-deck above, singing
"The Suwanee River" and other pop
ular songs.
"How pretty!" cried Jenny Lind,
with enthusiasm, clapping.
When at last she was leaving, she
paused on the step between the
carved sides of the gangway. Look
ing up at the floating stars and
stripes, she said:
81 wish to salute your flag"
Uncovering her head and holding
her hat in her hand, she began to
sing ''The Star-Spangled Banner"
AS she sang the first verse every
officer and every man came silently
on deck. When she had sung the
song to the end, deafening cheers
rang out from the st. Lawrence, and
were taken up by every ship near
by, for all had been listening.
Steamers blew their whistles; and
every man within reach of that
thrilling voice knew that he had
heard one of the most inspiring
songs i'll the world sung as he would
probably never hear it sung again.

Awful Death.

Bernhard Gordon, carpenter, en-
ployed at the East Side street car
barns, Minneapolis, met terrible
death because he used a steel tape
measure.
With Athanas Bernard, Gordon was
working on some girders twenty-five
feet above the ground. They were
using a tape in measuring. Gordon
was standing on iron Orders and al
lowed the slack of the measure to
drop and touch a live trolley wire
some distance below them, complet-
ing circuit.
Instantly Gordon received a terrible
shock, whi> N threw him from the end
of the girdefs to the ground, striking
on his head. His skull was fractured
and he died within a few minutes.
The other carpenter was also badly
shocked, but he fell only short dis
lance, landing on some joists.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

The frequent showers in the Red
river valley early in the week delay
ed the drying of the soil, and seeding,
but in the middle and latter parts of
the week there was less rain, and
considerable wheat was sown after
the 22nd, but the low lands continue
very wet. 1t is said that all the wheat
that it is safe to SOW this season has
been put in, and that all the unseeded
land dry enough before June 18th will
be seeded to barley and fax. The
wheat that is seeded is growing fine
ly. In all the rest of the state wheat,
oats and barley are growing rapidly,
and they seem strong and healthy.
Corn and potato planting and flax
seeding are well advanced except on
the heavy soils and in low places, and
the earliest are coming up well. Grass
in pastures and hay fields is growing
rapidly, and a good hay crop is an
ticipated.

WeII-Paid Artisans.

The cutters of the great glove houses
at Brussels and in France earn even
higher wages than the cutters of the
most fashionable tailors in London
and New York. So difficult is the art
of cutting gloves that most of the
principal cutters are known to the
trade by name and by fame and the
peculiar knives which they use in the
business are so highly priced that
they are handed down from genera
ton to generation as heirlooms.-Chi-

Fine Attraction.

Secretary E. w. Randall of the state
fair has added another item to his
constantly growing list of features
for the program for the state fair of
1902.
This is nothing less than the en-
gagement of Dode Fisk and his IA
nous horse Decryon. 1t is claimed
for Decryon that he is the only trick
horse before the American public that
has ever attempted to perform such a
program of difficult feats while har-
messed to a wagon.
Among his performances are march
es, walking lame, doing the cake
walk, walking on his knees, dancing,
rearing and walking on his hind legs.
With all these and other difficult
movements he keeps perfect time to
the music and closes his act by climb
ing to the top of a pedestal, where he
poses motionless as statue.

UNCLE SAM OUT or DATE.

There seems to be giaring incon- sistency between the young. robust and aggressive young American nation and the gaunt, cadaverous figure of Uncle Sam generally used to personify the United States.
 The senial old farmer, with his an tioue hat and untrimmed hair, never was true personification of the Amer ican nation. This was not so even when our country was little more than an aggregation of plantations. While it was then a farming nation, 1t was Q young and determined nation, and not decrepit and old.
 The dissimilarity between the na' tion and the figure supposed to sym bolize 1t has grown with each pass ing year until it has reached the stage of absurdity. The American nation does not stand among the world pow CTS as rude old farmer, dressed in clothes long out of style and a hat peculiar to a half forgotten age. America is not sort of clown in the worlds affairs as the popular picto- rial idea makes us. No one thinks of us iu that light. We never think of ourselves as filling such . role.
 We know we are a young, strong and ambitious nation. We know we wear IS good clothes, have as much money to spend, live as we'll and know as much of the world and the world s ways as any other nation. We still farm, to be sure, and that more exten- sively and successfully than any other nation, but our other business has be- come 60 enormous that all the world Is astonished. In commerce, in manu- lectures in all the world wide of human industry VIC have left our neighbors of Europe behind.
 A true representative figure of the American nation of today would ba well dressed, determined-faced young business man, whose pose and attitude show that he has attained enormous success in all lines of modern effort and that his career has only begun.-El Paso Times.
 THE REVIEW objects to the Times or any other paper changing the make up of our "Uncle Samuel" This grand old picture has caused the American throat to shout itself hoarse whenever put on exhibition, and has commanded the respect of all nations. We submit
 
 that such a symbol of sterling honesty as represented by the "rude old farm. CT, dressed in clothes long out of style, '' should never be discarded by the American people. Instead of creating & new National representative let us rather return to the true Americanism of which Uncle Sam is a type. The well-dressed young man is all right in his place, but he can never hope te take the place of Uncle Sam in the American heart. Uncle Sam may looi crude and uncouth to some but he stil looks good to us. Besides, we want te hand him down to future American generations as the individual who ha! SO often twisted the Lions tail ana brought all nations to acknowledge tht superiority of the type of citizenship oi which he is true representative.

PRICE OF COPPER
 REGULATES BUSINESS.

The influence of low price of cop per on the business of Arizons, and this immediate locality, has been de- monstrated in the past thirty days. It is the medium which regulates that condition of business affairs known as good times-when the buyers from the local merchants do not deny them selves any of the luxuries to which they have become accustomed.
 Local merchants have complained for the last thirty days of dull times. That is, dull times for Bisbee, although the volume of business daily trans acted here, at the present time, will compere favorably with auy town in the territory.
 We do not have to look far for the cause of this business depression. The same report comes from every mining camp in Arizona where copper mining is the chief industry. With the first drop in the price of the brown metal, people who are dependent upon the big copper mining companies for their support, became spprehensive. A still lower drop was followed by 6 reduction in the working force here and else where, and apprehension turned into fright as the price steadily declined. Employees carefully guarded their earnings with the expectation of being let out or the possible closing down of rsduction plants until the price took a turn for the better. Just so long as the price of copper declined the above described business condition was the natural result. Business of all kinds was ct standstill waiting to see what copper would do.
 During the past week the price has steadily advanced until it has now reached the 13c. mark. Mining men are confident that it will soon reach the 15c. price, where it will remain.
 With copper at fifteen cents and steady, the reaction from the slight depression caused by the furry, will be strong and subsrantixl. Business will settle back on . nrmer end more certain basis than before the fall in the price of copper. It was conceded that copper could not long remain at 17 cents. To was an abnormal price and was not expected to be maintained. With the price of copper steady at Is or even B it means continued and lasting prosperity for the copper min ing camps. From the present outlook and price of copper the purse stringi can be loosened to some extent ct least.
