How Edwin Forrest frightened a

. One Of the best known American &C.
tors, who is nav living in modest re-
tirement in Philadelphia, sat down the
other day and told stories OF the stage
to party Of friends. Here is one:
Il began my professional career as 3
supernumerary at one Of the New York
theatres, said he, :f'and I never shall
forget my first speaking part. Forrest
was playing Macbeth and I was sup
porting him by carrying a spear. At
the last moment the utility man who
was to announce that Birnam Wood
seemed approaching Dunsinane was no.
where to be found, was very ambi-
tious and had often besought The stage
manager to let me essay speak
ing part. The golden opportunity
had come. / was selected to go
on in the utility mans place. 4
few moments suficed to make me per-
feet in the one line T had to speak.
When / heard my cue I marched on the
stage and boldly ann ouneed to Mr. For

nam, anon me thought the wood began
to move Quick as a fash Forrest had
seized me by the throat, forced mo down
upon my knees and roared out in his
most terrible voice: Liar and slaveP
Being taken wholly unawares, I really
thought my last hour had come and that
Macbeth was going to kill me. Ny face
was blanched with fear, my knees
knocked together and I had just strength
enough to articulate. FORGIVE me Mr..

AN URGENT NECESSITY.
The Safety of tho Government Records
Demands tho Construction OF New
Public Buildings.

The Safety of tho Government Records
Demands the Construction OF New
Public Buildings.
Secretary Folger has written letter to
Senator Mahone chairman Of the senate com.
mittee on public buildings, in answer to
letter asking for his views as to tho necessity
for the construction of public buildings ut
several places for which appropriations have
been asked The secretary says he recognizes
no rule for providing for q building at any
place save that of the needs of the United
States, and that there is no duty upon the
government in this regard but to do the
work of the people as speedily, as we'll
as cheaply, as it can. The secretary also
transmits letter from tho super
vising architect Of the treasury on the
subject. in which the latter says: at does not
seem to me that the object of the erection Of
public buildings should be considered solely
from the standpoint of whether 1t is profit
able investment of public funds, but that tho
questions of the encouragement Of industry
and the cultivation of architectural taste and
mechanical art may very properly DO onter-
tanned, particularly when bills are under con-
sideration for public buildings at cities whose
inhabitants have not hitherto been
able to profit by the education to BIO
derived from the erection by private
to architectural beauty. In furtherance
of these objects, think it would be wise to
adopt liberal policy in making appropria-
tions for the construction of public buildings.
AS the very large and expensive structures
which have been in process Of construction
for some years are now about to be completed.
tho greater portion of future appropriations
can be applied to new buildings, and the
judicious aud economical expenditure annu-
ally of such sums as may be deemed necessary
for the purpose will doubtless secure all the
accommodations required to keep pace with
the growth of business.

TARIFF CHAN CHS.

Secretary FoIger EnIightens Chairman
Inquiries.
In response to request Of the ways and
means committee, Secretary Folger has writ
ten to Mr.. William X. Morrison letter of
suggestions upon tho tariff. He suggests that
congress decide in what order the provisions
of section 2444 of the tariff act of March 8,
1888, shall be applied. The department has
decided that they shall be applied in the Or
der in which they stand, but dispute has
arisen over articles which appear by their
special trade name In one section and
rs manufactures Of some material in
another section. The secretary thinks
that point should be authoritatively
settled. Disputes have also arisen over Sec
tion z, the department claiming that duty is
| to be paid on the value of articles rs they are
offered for sale, and importers that II should
be paid only on the articles as in bulk with
out reference to the cost Of the packages in
| which they are transported and sold. This
point, also, the secretary desires to see settled
| by congress-.
The secretary finds difficulty In administer
ing the law In several instances, because GER
tain articles are so classified that they come
under moro than one head and the importer
always insists upon that classification which
gives him the highest duty to pay. This is
| true Of articles under the heads of drugs"
soap stocks" distilled spirits" KNITTED
cotton goods" manufactures Of flax" glass
bottles" different manufactures of iron, wire,
leaf tobacco, SO. There are also possible in
constituencies in the law in relation to allow
anccs for leakage and breaksge Of certain
articles, also in relation to hats and bonnets
and the materials Of which they are made
feathers and artificial flowers vegetables
manufactures of copper, ladies' shawls
women's and children's dress goods, coat
Innings, italian cloths, and goods Of like
description. The law Is ambiguous about all
of those things, and Secretary Folger sug.
gests that while congress is busy with the
law it should make the law plain.
