chattels, lands and tenements. Brown, who had never witnessed such a proceeding, was struck with its utter absurdity. God Almighty! Lincoln, he ejaculated, loud enough to be heard by all, the statute fixes all that! This unlooked — for interruption almost upset the old parson; he had a keen sense of the ridiculous, and for the moment it seemed as if he would break down; but presently recovering his gravity, he hastily pronounced them husband and wife. --Letter, James H. Matheney, Ms., Aug. 21, 1888. That same morning Miss Todd called on her friend Julia M. Jayne, who afterward married Lyman Trumbull, and made a similar request. The Edwardses were notified, and made such meager preparations as were possible on so short notice. License was obtained during the day, the minister, Charles N. Dresser, My father, Rev. Charles Dresser, was a graduate of Brown University, Providence, R. I., of the class of 1822. --Thomas W. Dresser, Ms. letter, Sept. 17, 1888. was sent for, and in the

privileges conceded to the United States by that treaty. This commission met in Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 5, 1877. Great Britain was represented by Sir Alexander F. Gait; the United States by E. H. Kellogg. The third commissioner, Maurice Delfosse, was named by Austria, as provided for in the treaty. The commission awarded Great Britain $5,500,000 for the use of the fishing privileges for twelve years. The money was appropriated by Congress in 1878 with the proviso articles 18 and 21 of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, concluded on May 8, 1871, ought to be terminated at the earliest period consistent with the provisions of article 33 of the same treaty. The President of the United States, in pursuance of instructions from Congress, gave the required notice, and the fishery articles therefore came to an end July 1, 1885. In 1888 the new treaty was negotiated in reference to the fishery question, but was rejected by the United States Senate, Aug. 21, 1888.

But the Madison Square Theatre gave impetus to something more than a school of acting. In its intimate management it furthered the dramatic writing of Steele MacKaye, whose Hazel Kirke (4 February, 1880) was written expressly for the stock company gathered there, and it brought Belasco and De Mille together in preparation for their later collaboration when, with Daniel Frohman, they went over to the Lyceum Theatre and in rapid succession wrote The wife (1 November, 1887), Lord Chumley (21 August, 1888), The charity ball (19 November, 1889), Men and women (21 October, 1890). Steele MacKaye (1844-1894) while with the Madison Square management won popularity as a playwright, but none of his pieces is widely known to the theatre now, except by name. Rose Michel (23 November, 1875), Hazel Kirke, Dakolar (6 April, 1885), and Paul Kauvar (24 December, 1887) are among those that linger in memory as examples of picturesque melodrama created for a certain type of stage effect, with emotio
