PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Report of Supervising Architect Bell to
the Secretary Of the Treasury
The Errors of
Congress in Fixing the Limit of Cost
of Buildings Without a Full
knowledge Of
The Accommodations Required How
Work Might Be Expedited and
Money Saved.

WASHINGTON, December 3-A. NJ. Bell,
Supervising Architect, in his annual report
to the Secretary of the Treasury, says there
are now in course of construction eighty
new buildings, ranging in cost from $25, 900
to 1000, calling for total expenditure
OF 1851 400. The expenditures for the
year on this account have aggregated
S2, ,43s, 700. Mr.. Bell says Congress fixes
the limits of the cost of buildings without
full knowledge of the accommodation re-
quired, and the limits In many cases are
SO low as to make it impossible to provide
minimum accommodation, even though
the cheapest material be used. He sug-
gests before authorizing the construction
OF buildings Congress get estimates from
bis bureau for the cost of
APPROPRIATE STRUCTURES.
This, he ssys, would expedite work and
save money. He calls attention to the
feet that Congress, not he, should be
blamed when work on public buildings is
stopped for lack of appropriations, and
says this trouble will continue IS long as
Congress ignores his suggestions VII VII,
mahiog appropriations. ne thinks finds
i'i 'he i--.I- work on any public building
should hs available at once, thus avoiding
delays in construction. The archi-
tsct says hia Recommendations are
called into question by 90 oltractors,
who have no other interest than
their personal profit. To correct this
condition of affairs, the Supervising Arch
itect recommends that board be created,
Of which the Secretary of the Treasury
shall be ex.officio chairman, and which
shall include the Supervising Architect
and three other members, called the
Board of Public Buildings of the Treasury
Department. The three other members
should be appointed solely because of
their pecu lar knowledge and fitness for
THEIR RESPECTIVE POSITIONS.

ADJUSTMENTS.


The Thester was well filed lest night to
witness the first performance by the Ford
Opera Company of G lbert & Sullivan's
latest great success-The M,kddo, or the
TOtcR OF Tuipu. The opera is peculiar in
many respects, and as rendered last night
was probably one of the most unique, and
at the same lime enjoyable performances
ever witnessed on the Memphis stage. In
the first place, there is no star part, strict
ly speaking, all the characters having a
chance to display whatever talent they
possess, Their, too, there is departure
from sll the time.worn conventionalities,
the stereotyped situations, the familiar
scenes, and the result is--something en-
tireio new, something original. The plot
of the Mikado is, in brief, as follows: The
Miksdo, as ruler of Japan, whose slightest
behest is law, which must be ubeyed,
issues solemn decree
That all who tirted. leered or winked,
UNLESS conuubi4,ly linked,
Should forthwith be beheaded.
TIE monarch then condemns bis BOD,
''Nsnki Poo, " to death for refusing to marry
"Katishs," an elderly lady, who loves the
boy, and with whom he had been caught
flirting. "Nanki Poo" escaped and became
a wandering minstrel, and while taking up
a collection one day, met "Yum YUM"
beautiful ward of "Ko Ko," who was
Lord high EXecunoner OF Ilnpu, and
who also loved yum Yum" and had de-
cided to marry her. Fate, however, de-
termines that "Nsnki Poo and 'Yum
Yum" shall marry, and in spite of al!
''Ko Kos" plans, they are finally married,
while 'Ko Ko" gladly becomes the
husband of "Katishs" to save his own life.
As given by the Ford Company the per-
formance was a success. While there are
no exceptional voices in the troupe they
are all very good. The costumes are ele-
CANT and the scenery much better than
is usually the case with travelling COM
panies. Mr.. Denham as "Ko-Ko and
Miss Mabel Haas as "l um YUM" carrie d
off the honors OF the evening, with the
possible exception of a little chorus-girl in
blue, who, by very eccentric japanese
"dsnee," secured number of encores for
THE Miksko's" solo. The following is
the cast:
The Mikado of Japan............... Mr.. l.. Raymond
Nanki Poo, his SON, distinguishe as a wan
dering minstrel, and in ,,ove with
Yum Yum ;-;,;----.....- Mr.. Joe Armand
no Ko, LORD High Executioner Of Tiiipu,
POeh Bah, Lord High Everything Else.
Pish Tush, Noble Lord. MIR S. ,Royston
Yum Yum Three SISTERS, ,-.---.Miss Mabel Haas
PeeP m Ss Bo of Ko Ko. .........Miss Taa TsnIissa
