Alderman Hutchins presented the re-
port on the construction of new aims
house. He had plans for house one
hundred by forty feet, two and one-half
stories high, with twenty-five rooms.
heated by steam and to cost $4,000. The
committee also had plans for smaller
house, two stories high, with twenty-one
rooms, which would cost only $4,000.
The $4,000 building would have two
wings, and central portion, and would
be plain but good building. It was de-
cided to advertise for proposals.
School Funds.
Mr.. G. A. Woodbury. appeared to state
the needs of the schools for the coming
year. He thought that $720O would be
needed for the common schools, S28O0
for the high school, and $40O for books.
There is an increase in the amount asked
for the high school, inasmuch as the in
crease in the number of scholars will re.
quire an additional teacher. Repairs are
needed on the school-house at Riverton.
DR.. Packard, another member Of the
committee, appeared and stated that the
upper portion of the Oakdale school
house would have to be finished, as the
school is overcrowded. 1t would cost
about $500.
Notes.

and city have been to on account of her
husband, as she wishes to pay it.

ny's works was referred to the commit
tee on streets.
At Woodfords there are, by the streets,
three small parks, or lawns, which have
been graded, fenced and kept mown by
the Village improvement Society. The
society is no longer able to keep them up
and asks that the city assume charge of
them. 1t was ordered that they be put
in charge of the street commissioner.
Mr.. John 7. Winslow was elected con-

Peculiar Excuses for Absence-A Visit to
Dentist is valid-So is q Walk and a
Trip to the Races in the Interest of
Humanity-Mr. Bailey of Texas, How
ever, Would Enforce the Penalty and
| Make These Little Diversions Expen-
sive.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The absent
members arrested by the sergeant-at-
arms yesterday were brought before the
bar of the House today. A motion was
made to excuse Mr.. Bowen of California
Mr. Burrows of Michigan made the point
of order that a gentleman under arrest
could take no part in the proceedings Of
the House.
Mr.. Reed of Maine seconded Mr.. Bur-
rows. In the course of his remarks, he
said that all this fuss and difficulty arose
from an attempt to override the Constitu-
ton. Applause on the Republican side;
derisive laughter on the Democratic].
Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee inquired
whether the gentleman and the other
gentlemen on the other side did not sit
in their seats and refuse to vote.
Mr.. Reed said the gentlemen were pres
ent under the laws and constitution.
They constituted a quorum, and were
ready to be counted as such. As to the
question of voting, that was an affair, as
he had heard gentlemen on the other
side say, between them and their constit-
uents.
Mr.. Bailey of Texas inquired whether
the gentleman and his friends were not
violating the clause of the constitution
which requires representatives to vote
unless excused.
Mr.. Reed replied that the constitution
did not authorize the House to override
Its provisions. This House had deliber-
ately overridden the constitution by re-
Quiring voting quorum instead of a
present quorum. 1t was this that made
the House laughing stock for gods and
men.
The Speaker did not think he had au-
thority to order members name elimi-
mated from a roll call, and oyerruled the
point of order.
Mr.. Bowers was excused-yeas, 1870;
nays, IS.
Mr. Dunphy of New York was ex-
cused, having been called home on ac-
count of a death in his family. Mr.. Ellis
of Kentucky was also excused, as was
Mr.. Harter of Ohio, Notwithstanding
Mr.. Caruth's appeal that he be fined one
silver dollar. Mr.. Henphill's visit to
his dentist was considered valid ex-
cuse for his absence, and Mr.. McDonald's
walk with his wife and children was
deemed sufficient excuse.
Mr. Meredith of Virginia acknowledged
going to the race course. He had gone
there to see whether there was anything
demoralizing in racing that he might
draw up measure to remedy any evils
that might exist. He was excused.
Messrs. Pickler, Randall, Stackhouse,
Tracey and Warwick were also excused.
This cleared the dock.
The Walker expunging matter was
postponed, and after considering new
private bills the House took recess un-
til s o'clock.
The evening session was to be for the
consideration of private pension bills,
but nothing was done.

Quorum.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Mr. Bailey of
Texas introduced in the House an amend
ment to the rules, which, if adopted, will
assure a large attendance of members at
the daily sessions. The amendment di-
rects the sergeant-at-arms to withhold at
the end of each month the pay of each
member until he files written state
ment declaring whether he was absent
from the House during the preceding
month. If the member has been absent,
and such absence was not necessary on
account of the sickness of himself or
some member of his family, the SER
geant-at-arms is to deduct the salary for
the days on which such absence occurred
as provided in section 40 of the Revised
Statutes. Any violation of this rule by
the sergeant-at-arms shall make him La
BILE, on his bond, for all payments made
contrary to the provisions Of section 40.

Mr.. Frys's speech was we'll received,
especially those portions OF 10 devoted
70 the tariff. lie made the meaning OF
protection so plain that bis dullest
hearsr readily understood It's practical
operation and ths benefits II confers.
U Ike Mr.. Springer, he boldly chal-
lenged present results 20 indicate the
wisdom OF the protective policy, and
appealed % facts TO sustain ais declar-
atoms. HIS comparative statement OF
the results achieved by the Mckinley
bli was one AZ once forceful and mas
terly. lie took up the great staples
affected by tariff legislation aud proved
By al array Of statistics that the
money heretofore sent to swell the
Golfers of the foreigner was retained at
home 10 be paid 70 American work
men. This portion Of his address was
by far the most brilliant and striking.
His intense earnestness, supplemented
by genuine candor, gave 40 cause TO
suspect that he handled mis- statistics.
Ike Springer, to mlslead and deceive.
In reeapitulatIug the positive and
tangible returns from tho Mckinley
ball, be not only justified the policy
under which sugar Was admitted free
and bounty paid 10 home producers,
bat after discussing iron, wool, cotton
ties and other staples he explained the
reason for taxing III. In his brief re-
marks on this much misrepresented III
dustry. Senator Frye spiked every DEM
ocrasic gun by declaring that, notwith-
standing the increase IN the tax, no
American consumer had paid one-six-
tesnth OF cent per pound more for
tn because of the Mckinley bill.
This, N view of the storm
OF democratic ridiculs and vitu-
peration provoked at every men
ton OF the tin-plate industry must
frown into silence the carplng critics.
Then, too, be prophesied that before
the expiration OF the six-yesr limit the
entire demand for tin will be supplied
by American producers.
On the whole the speech was one OF
the most inspiriting and patriotic heard
here this season. Ii was so unlike the
specious hsrangue delivered in the
same hall the night before that Its ex-
cellsnce Was manifest to all who heard
both speeches.

SOL HID HIS FACE
There Was a Partial Eclipse Of
the Sun Yesterday
WHICH WAS VISIBLE HERE
The Clouds Prevented Anything Excep,
Passing Glimpses-Ths Legend Of
Christopher Columbus.

There wss an eclipse Of the sun yes
terdaY. Ii happened about dinner
time aud IN the rush for the tirst car
almost every body overlooked IL. Ii
wasn't entirely unexpected. Any per-
con who had consulted ms almanac
might have found sand wichsd between
sure cure for "tLat tired feeling"
and the unadorned portrait OF man
who exhibits q qusdrllateral section of
his vlscera TO the astronomical loving
public. notice to this effect: "A par
tlal eclipse of the sun October 20. Wis
ible TO North America, except Califor-
MIA and western half of Mexico, to the
northern part of South America. West
Indies and a larger portion Of the
North Atlantic ocean,"
1t wasn't q very heavy weight
eclipse, but Grand Rapids sar-
wants viewed il through smoked
glass with keen interest. The eclipse
was scheduled to reach here At 1919,
and WAS on time, but nobody knew it.
The clouds were 30 thick that the
beginning Of the moons transit across
old So's face was lost in the shuttle, SO
10 speak. The clouds were so trouble
some that it was impossible to watch
the eclipse continuously, only OCCASION
81 glimpses were obtained OF 1t.
The Time OF the Eclipse.
The moon entered penumbrs at l0:49
and umbra about 1915. 1t emerged at
l:41, and the only solar eclipse visible
to North America during the year 1892
was ended. The suns light WAS obscured
enough to be noticed, although most
persons would have mistaken il for
cloudy weather.
Several persons obtained good views
of the transit at times, looking through
pieces of smoked glass.
An eclipse at this particular time is
Of interest in recalling the legend of
Columbus, the eclipse, and the natives
of Jamaica. At one time IN his check
cred career Chris lost his grip on the
native henchmen, and was III dire dis
trees. He had made promise after
promise that was not kept, and was in
as bad odor with the JamsiclaDs as
Grover Cleveland is with Tammany.
One day while figuring up his journal
he calculated the time for an ECLIPSE
like true navigator. and finally as q
last resort prophesied to the natives
that on such q day at such an hour the
suns face would be hidden. The
natives carefully awaited the time, and
the willy Genoan had once more saved
his bacon. Historians have immortal
lied the legend, while the sun and the
Columbian celebration unite IN certify
ing to its authenticity.
