A Cincinnati paper comments on re-
markable coincident in the famous
Baker Howard feud in Kentucky. On
June 2, 1859, 40 years ago, Gov. Owsley
ordered out the state troops to quell the
feud between the Baker and Howard
factions. On June 2, of this year, Gov.
Bradley ordered out the state troops
for the same purpose. Forty years is
long enough for any family row, and it
is hoped that the end is in sight.

The Central News of London says
that an Irish member of parliament has
received a letter from New York tinan-
cier offering to promote and organize
a movement for the purchase of Ireland
from England, if it could be learned
that England would sell. The New
Yorker says that hundreds of millions
could be raised for the purpose, and
adds: "All things are possible in this
age, and nothing is too big for us to
undertake on this side of the water"

The fact that 2o.OO0,OO0 people in
Russia will lack food on account of the
failure of the wheat crop in that coun-
try is one of the tragedies of the time.
No country in the world except China
has seen so much hardship of one sort
and another in recent years as some
parts of Russia. The expulsion of the
Jews from Russia a few years ago, and
the same time, and the consequent
deaths of thousands of persons from
starvation, are calamities which are

TIE saving of tufa will be com- menced at the capitol grounds to- day. The putting of the machinery in order and the construction of the tramways were finished yesterday afternoon. The capacity of the ma chinery IS, for each saw, six-ineh cut across an eight-foot stone in ar hour. All the saws that will be in operation will cut as much as ten men in the same length of time. IThe granite cutting is so near an end that only four men are engaged at it. The necessary formality with which the granite cutting is done is of interest to the outsider. An outline of each stone to be cut, with its various dimensions, is drawn on Q specially prepared slip which contains blank for the sigma tureofthecutter. togetherwith blanks to be filled showing howlong heis en- gagged in cutting it. The foreman takes this slip, selects rough stone from which the figure on the slip may be cut with the least waste of material, and causes it to be placed on the cutters bench. The cutter takes the slip and becomes a sc1lp- tor with the drawing for model Thus there is on record in the con- tractors office a picture of every stone that will go into the capitol building-Rspu5ljcan.
