Immediately began to masticate the

Georgia Stone 1t Is.

The attorney general has handed
down his opinion in the capitol stone
question, and it is to the effect that
while the commission may have acted
unwisely in awarding the contract for
Georgia marble, such award does not
violate the law of 1895, providing for
the use of home stone wherever prac-
ticable IN public buildings.
This opinion, in the face of the at
torney generals letter to the governor,
is something of surprise, but it set
ties the question unless some citizen
who is dissatisfied with the matter sees
fit to apply for an injunction and take
the case into court.
The day following the decision,
Charming Seabury, vice president of
the capitol commission, signed the con-
tract for the construction of the new
building.

The jonrneymen painters strike in
Christiania was the funniest kind of a
strike. The strikers formulated GER
tain demands, which they handed to
their employers. There was plenty of
work, and one employer after another
signed the scale of wages proposed by
the journeymen. Meanwhile the en-
ployers prepared for meeting to take
the matter under advisement. At this
meeting a resolution was passed to the
effect that the employers could not
yield to the demands of the Journey
men. But by the time this resolution
was published, all the journeylnen had
returned to work, SO that there was
not a single idle painter to be found.

Grafton Of the new altar last Sunday, which has
caused much comment among the parishioners
