CARD FROM MR.. McCALLA.
He Replies to Attack by a Columbia
Newspaper.

To the people OF the Third Congress
sional District:
An editorial appeared last Saturday

q,,;rcs an answer at my hands. In
that article. which is full OF venom
and malice. as we'll as ignorance. I
am charged with being a demagoguc
"f the worst type.
The writer OF the editorial boasts OF
his familiarity with my record and
processes to speak from that record.
He Processes to remember my advent
into the legislature a dozen or more
years ago. and says that in Our House
oi Lords. referring. I suppose. to the
senate, I occupied the seat OF the
Earl OF Essex. and filled it to the life.
It IS strange that the editor Of the
State can recall my services in the
lower house so we'll when I have
never had the honor OF being mem
Der Of that body. In 1904 had tire
honor Of being elected in the state
senate from Abbeville county and I
served four years in that body. That
is all the legislative services that I
have rendered. I also had the honor
OF being member Of the Constitr-
tional convention of 1895.
Ii. while member OF the senate
being on the side OF the people OF tie
state against the Entertainments OF
the government. was filling the seat
of Lord Essex. then I plead guilty 10
the charge. We are told in English
history that Lord Essex was one OF
the leaders against King Charles
when the latter sought to collect
taxes without any warrant or author
itv of the law. and actually dismissed
Chief Justice Crane because he re-
fused to decide that the mandates OF
the king was the law Of the land. Yes,

after their marriage jealousy entered the Forrest
household. The tragedian heard some one speak in
complimentary terms of the beauty of his wife, and
from that moment he became an unreasonable being.
Sometime later, while he was in Cincinnati fulfilling a
professional engagement, he found George Jameson,
a member of his company, paving pretty little atten-
tions to his wife. To a man Of Forests temperament
this was unbearablc, and there was a scene which
made all concerned miserable.
Six months after that, while in his Philadelphia
home one night. Forrest discovered a letter in the
handwriting of George Jameson addressed to his wife.
1t was a long, rambling epistle, filled with rhapsodies
stage lover. But Forrest regarded it as tragedy,
and would not accept 1t in any other h"ht. There
was a separation # the couple. and even tEs was not
without theatrical effect. As his wife sat in the car
rage that was to take her from Forrest, she asked
him for a souvenir of their happy days. He picked
out the choicest book in his library, and placing his
autograph on the fly-leaf presented it to her. Not
satisfied with that, he lifted an oil painting OF himself
from the wall, and had it placed in the carriage with
his departing wife.
Separation was followed hv divorce. The trial
ended in a victory for Mrs. Forrest. a decree was
given to her, and the actor was ordered to pay her
afimonv amounting to three thousand dollars a year.
The bitterness caused by this sad affair remained with
the courtship and marriage of Catherine Sinclair and
Edwin Forrest reads like pages taken from the tragedy
of Othelo. the only difference being that the great
~tragcdian shrank from playing in real hfe and to its
end the part of the Swarthy Moor.
BY what seems to be a strange COlnCldent, two OF
the three actors in this sad drama met a sudden
and unexpected death within a few years of each
other. Jameson was struck and killed by a railroad
train near Yonkers, New-York. Forrest died while

of Edwin Forrest. Few professional people have
more pride than those of the stage, and they ac-
Cepted the gift of the dead traged1an strictly IN the
spirit that he intended.
Twice a wear there is a notable celebration to which
a small number of favored outsiders are invited. One
of these celebrations is held on the birth anniversary
of Shakespeare, and the other to commemorate the
birth of Forrest himself. On these occasions the
venerable actors and actresses, bent with the weight
of years and misfortune, gaily repeat the scenes of
their former triumphs. Nothing can be more intensely
interesting than the performances OF these super
animated players. Nothing could be more unutter-
ably pathetic. For the time being they renew their
youth. Once more they strut before the glare of the
footlights, and once more they listen to the music OF
laughter, and drink In the applause winch nV1gorates
them like old wine.
One winter day, many years ago, some thoughtful
person placed a large basketful of red roses on the
snow-covered slab that sheltered the body of For
rest in St. Pauls churchyard. y local writer, who
must have had the soul of a poet, said at the time
that the sight was finely emblematic of the life of
Edwin Forrest, wherein the red roses OF dramatic
triumph were inseparably intertw1ned with the cold
frosts of domestic affection.
1t is interesting to note how everything IN connec-
ton with the life and death of Edwin Forrest almost
unconsciously has a tendency to revive the memory
of his unfortunate and unhappy domestic aHl-
ance.
1t is significant that the old Forrest mansion at Broad
and Master-sts., Philadelphia, where the ~tragedian
lived and died in the midst of luxury, is now occupied
as a school of design for women. where ambitious and
talented young girls learn the lutHHeits Il d 'eShHiCdl
education which is to bring them fame and for
tune.
1t is equally significant that the unfinished palace on
the Hudson where this man expected to spend so
many years of bliss is now the site of a Catholic
convent.
Not less significant than either of these examples
is the Forrest home itself, which shelters beneath its
hospitable roof some of the most illuStrious women
that have ever adorned the American stage. Thus it
is that the violets and roses OF womanklnd have
sprung up to sweeten and beautify all of the spots
intimately associated with the memory of a man who
is supposed to have died with an implacable animosity
toward the fair sex.

lone in the sumptuously furnished study of
his Philadelphia home. He had no one to
comfort his last hours: but expired amid the
books, paintings and works of art that had
meant so much to him during life, and
which were so impotent to aid him in his
struggles at that last terrible moment.
While Forrest was buried in the vault in
the churchyard of St. Paul's, it has always
been understood that his body eventually
was to be placed under a becoming monu-
ment on the grounds of the Actors Home
at Holmesburg. This place is unique. The
tragcdian never intended that it should be
regarded as a charitable institution: but so
planned the details of its management that
old and infrm actors and actresses who were
compelled to seek shelter there in their declin-

n in a Philadelphia church,
yard, the bones of Edwin Forrest
are to be transferred to a maui
solemn on the grounds of the
home which he established for the ~
care and comfort of aged and in
frmed Thespians at Holmesburg, on N
the outskirts of the Quaker CITY. N%H
For a generation the bankers, brokers, Mi
and business men of Philadelphia have
hurried past the picturesque gate of the h-.~
old churchyard of St. Paul's Episcopal Fdu;
Church without giving a thought to the F.,
fact that therein lay the body of the
man who in his day and generation was the greatest
of living tragedians.
Now that the church is to pass out Of the hands of
the corporation that has Owned it so long. and since it
has become known that the dust of the distinguished
dead will have to be moved to some other sanctuary,
the busy world is pauslng long enough to peep between
the dusty bars of the churchyard railing to decipher
the rapidly fading inscription on the tomb of the
great actor.
Eloquent as this inscription is, it fails to tell about
the most interesting features of Forests strenuous
life. In other words, this stirring up of the bones of
Edwin Forrest will recall to some men still living the
pathetic romances of his ife-a romance more pic
turesque and more sorrowful than anything that he
ever attempted to depict upon the stage.
Catherine Sinclair, sweetheart and wife of the
~tragedian, was born in England. 1t was there that.
they met and were married. When they returned to
tie United States they began housekeeping in Phila-
delphia, and their domestic life was charming. He
was a genius, and she a woman of education and re-
finement. Books and letters still in existence prove
the devotion that they bore to one another. The
splendid library of Edwin Forrest still contains books
which are mute reminders of those happy DAYS. He
was constantly purchasing rare and notable books for
his wife, and these presentation volumes invariably
bore on the hy-leaf the inscription:
ITO Catherine Forrest,
From Her Husband and Sweetheart
Edwin Forrest"
The letters that passed between them were filled
with terms of endearment. Once, while away on a
professional tour, Forrest wrote: Il seem quite lonely
without you, and even in this short absence have often
wished you here; but the three weeks will pass away,
and then we shall see each other againl"
With growing fame came increased fortune; and
Forrest, looking forward to years of future happiness,
conceived the idea of building a magnificent palace on
the banks of the Hudson, about twenty miles from
New-Yor Fonthill Castle, as it was to be named,
was the creature of their united brains. Several
times a year husband and wife journeyed to the place
TO watch the progress of the builders. On one par
ticuar Fourth of July the ~tragedian planned a cele-
bration, to which he invited three or four hundred
of his n%eighbors. 1t was a grand success fact that
will not be disputed when it is known that the host
himself read the Declaration of Independence.
But this bliss was not to last. Within a few years
