WASHINGTON, April 29.-Presi.
dent Harrison has vetoed the House
bill authorizing the construction OF
an addition TO the public building at
Dallas, Texas, at a cost Of $500, 900.
The bill, rs originally introduced,
liked 100000 as the limit Of ex-
pense, and the President cites a let
ter from the Supervising Architect
OF the Treasury that an extension
Of ample dimensions could be erect
ed for 100000. The building for
which the extension is proposed cost
SIS, 900 and was only completed
last year. The President says, in
part:
81 am not unfriendly to liberal
annual expenditures for the erection
Of public buildings where safety
and convenience in the transaction
Of public business demand Il and
the revenues will permit. It would
be wiser, in my opinion, TO build
more and less costly houses, and to
fix by general law the amount of the
annual expenditures for this purpose
and make some order of preference
for cities asking for public
buildings. But in view Of
pending legislation, looking to
very large reduction in our reve-
nues, and the urgency and necessity
for n large increase in our expendi-
lures in certain directions, l am Of
the opinion that appropriations for
the erection Of public buildings and
all kindred expenditures should lie
kept at a minimum until the effect
Of other probable legislation is aecu-
rately measured. The erection Of
public buildings is largely n matter
of local necessity aud convenience,
while expenditures for an enlarged
relief and recognition OF the soldiers
and sailors of the war, for necessary
coast defenses and for an extension
of our commerce with other Ameri-
can States are Of universal necessity
and involve considerations, not OF
convenience, but Of justice, honor,
safety and general prosperity"

TERMS OF TIE PETITION.

UTICA, y. V, April 29.-The
Clerk of the United States Court
this evening put the official seal on
the kemmler writ and sent II %
Auburn. The petition upon which
it was granted sets forth that the
punishment imposed in the statute
is cruel and unusual; that il con-
flicts with the Federal Constitution,
in that the punishment imposed de-
prives Kemmler Of life without due
process Of law, not only that the
mode Of putting him to death is I'M
lawful, but also that the judicial
function Of fixing the time OF death
is taken from the court and dele
gated to an executive officer, on
some uncertain substitute Upon some
underlined, unaccountable cause.

AGAINST THIS WRONG.

Mills said the Secretary of the
Treasury's decision was n palpable
violation OF n law 10 save the gov
ernment from plunder-authoriLe
by the Illegal acts Of the secretary
and to save the people from the bur
den Of paying duty twice, and the
government and people had 10 yield.
Palpably wrong rs .he bill was, IL
might be better to pass II than TO
have the people pay a duty twice.
Mcmillan (renn.) opposed the
bill.
The committee rose, and Dingley
moved that further debate be limited
to forty minutes. E
Mcmillan thought this was too
short, and the consequence was
three roll calls before the motion
was sgreed 70. Another roll was
necessary to resolve the House back
into committee.
Springer dis, Wilson wv. Va.
and breckenridge Ky. opposed the
bill.
Mckinley defended the desision
Of the Secretaryof the Treasury. The
bill provided for simple Justice; 1t
did not increase the duty. The duty
now paid was paid under the deci-
sion Of the secretary, and all tire bin
did was TO continue the collection Of
the duty under the Interpretation of
the Law given by the SECRETARY.
Breckenridge (Ky.l Offered an
amendment providing for free raw
wool and a duty Of % per cent dd
ralorem on worsted and wooden
cloths after the LIST OF October, 1890.
The chairman ruled the amend,
ment out on n point Of orier, on the
ground that the bill referred to n

decision was sustained - 20 SO. ..l

House.

The House went into committee
Of the whole on the bill providing
for the classification Of worstcd
cloths rs woolens.
Dingley said the object Of the bill
was to make clear a question which
had arisen in regard TO the CLASH
iieatioD Of worsted goods under the
existing tariff and To correct all
doubt and misapprehension.
Carlisle said the effect Of the bill
would lie simply TO raise the duty
on wonsted cloths from is and q
cents 10 IS cents, thus placing these
goods on the same footing rs WOODEN
cloths. The present Secretary of
the Treasury, in the face of the law
had decided that no legislation was
necessary TO correct the Inequality.
and that under the Law he would
direct the customs officers 20 inn
pose the specific duty Of 35 cents on
wOnsted cloths. importers paid the
higher nate Of duty under protest.
In the circuit court IL had been de-
cided that the higher nate was I'M
authorized and the decision would
undoubtedly be confirmed by the
Supreme Court The reporter would
recover from the public treasury all
he had paid in excess Of IS or "a

that excess to the price TO the con-
sumner. This could not be prevented
now, but Congress could prevent

If So, Why Is 1t?

The statement is common one and
oft repeated that women make up the
larger part Of church membership. Is
this true?
Sixty years ago statistician made
inquiry in twelve leading churches in
four different Conferences, and fol.
lowed it by tabulating the results of re-
vivals in many circuits and stations,
and it was found that three seDcnths OF
the Church were men and fOur-sev.
enths women. For twenty-five years
the proportions have been visibly and
rapidly changing, the number of men
diminishing and the number of WON
en- increasing"
Now must follow the why, and can
it be answered? Perhaps, we cannot
do it philosophically or comprehen'
sively, but can only suggest few pos
sible reasons. AS is well recognized,
women are naturally more religious,
ly inclined than men, are more emo
tional, more susceptible. Back OF
this we cannot 20, merely state the
fact by way of explanation as it were.
For an immense number of women
church going and the activities OF
church work are the outlet of that en-
ergy which among men finds express
sion in their outdoor pursuits and
their daily communication and COM
panionship with each other. With
another class of women there must
always he pet or an idol and pastor
is the one most easily available for
either, hence the attraction of the
church for these. This motive is not
often recognized, of course, but is dis
guised under an infinity of forms.
Now none of these things appeal to
men labor gives them vent for their
energies, the love of hero worship is
rarely extended beyond the Individual
himself. The absorbing work of daily
life, its rush, its demands, naturally
claim q large portion of mans energy.

ure; it is an obligation resting upon
us all, without the fulfilling of which
any claim to justice, even in outward
conduct, falls to the ground.
When Christ brings his cross he
brings his presence and where he is,
none are desolate, and there is nc
room for despair. AS he knows his
own, so he knows how to comfort
them, using sometimes the very grief
itself, and straining it to sweetness
of peace unattainable by those igno'

Washburn & ArlingtOn's Show.

The weather did not loom up very favorable
this morning for the first circus OF the season,
but by ten o'clock the streets assumed the air
OF more than usual importance. The parade
of Washburn & Arlington's United Shows
was made from the lot near the ball grounds,
where the tents are pitched. and through
some OF the principal streets. Two brass
bands played lively airs during the entire
route. A steam calliope, manipulated by Irene
Washburn, was also heard far above the
music OF the bands.
After the first band chariot came the
Worlds fair-two blonde ladies on horse
back-and following behind were troups OF
Arabs Indians and cowboys. There were
also camels, donkeys. q clown and the usual
retInue of small children closing up the
procession. The continued wet weather kept
many from attending the afternoon perform
ance, but those present witnessed several in
teresting features. TheIshow opened with an
entree in which the whole company took
part. Wild West, Moorish, caravan and all.
The program included some excellent trapeze
performances by Mendoza and Manard, and
daring leaps through the air by Chas. and Ben
Vernon. There was also very fine contor-
tion act, some first calss horizontal bar
work, dancing barrel act and dog circus. The
slack wire performance is one of the best ever
seen here. Altogether 1t is good show.-Me-
