Piles have been driven at this place to depth or

An Actress Shot by Mistake.

At the Coliseum Theatre, Cincinnati, on
Thursday afternoon, Frank Frayne and
company were playing 81 Slocun. T. play
had proceeded to the end of the fourth act
Frayne personated 81 Slocum and Miss Annie
Van Behren took the role of Rut b Slocnm,
ST Slocum's wife. Just at this point the
william required ST 6locum to shoot an apple
off his wifes head and remarked, 1T must
be with the backward shot" The arrange
naents were made, the rife cracked and
Ruth Slocum fell to the floor without utter
ing sound. Frayne turned almost with
the fash Of his gun and rushed toward tile
pr&stratc girl and swooning fell by her side
With an arm across her bony. The curtain
dropped ana the audience, who saw no blood,
hesrd do cry, and therefore imagined it was
a new turn in the play, were not aware
Of the situation. In fifteen minutes
the girl was dead. On the girls head
was bat on which the apples was placed.
The bottom of the apple was tour inches
above her head. Frayne says it was an en-
tirelY safe shot for any ordinary good rife
man. He says the accident could not have
been possible under any other circumstances
than the giving away Of the catch spring at
the breech. he does not explain how it
happened that he failed to discover this
weakening before appearing with it on the
stage. Frayne was Immediately ar
rested. AT the police ststion
when he was locked up the question was
put by the officers: What charge shall we
put against him?" He spoke up: "Oh, put
itas bad as you please; make it the worst
you can" There is an universal disposition
to condemn the practice of dangerous shoot
ing of this style IN the stage. People say
that though the marksman may be depend
ed upon for accuracy, which many ques-
ton, this case shows the gun may not al
ways be rsliable.

600, 600. and finally, as has been already
stated, 1920, 900, OOO The income from this
service for the fscal year which will end on
June 80. 1888, will doubtless be considerably
in excess of the sum last mentioned. II the tax
on domestic spirits Is to be retained, it is
plain, therefore, that largo reductions
from the customs revenue are GU
tirely feasible. While recommending this
reduction, ! am far from advising the
Abandonment Of the policy of SO discriminating
In the adjustment Of details as to afford aid
and projection to domestic labor. But the
present system should be so revised as to
equalize the public burden among al classes
and occupations, and bring 1t into closer har-
mony with the present needs of industry.
Without entering into minute details, which,
under present circumstances, is quite unneo-
essary, I recommend an enlargement Of the
free trade list 80 as to include within 1t the
numerous articles which yield in considerable
revenue, simplificatlon of the COM
plex and inconsistent schedule Of duties upon
certain manufacturer, particularly those on
cotton, iron and steel, and substantial reduo-
ton Of the duties upon these articles and upon
sugar, molasses, silk, wool aud wooden gooda
If general revision of the tariff shall be
fonnd to be impraclicsble at this session, ex-
press the hope that at least some OF the more
conspicuous Inequalities OF the present law
may be corrected before your final adjourn
mont One Of them Is especially referred to
by the secretary; In view of the recent decision
Of the supreme court, the necessity Of amend
ing the law by which the duties on standard Of
color Is adopted as the test Of the saccharine
strength of sugars IL too obvious to require
comment
