Controversy Over Carlyle's Marriage.


Mr. Froude was greatly daring when he mar
ried Carlyle and Jane Welsh in church instead OF
in farm 'parlor;T but perhaps it was not because
he knew no better. He NAV have anticipated
the newspaper controversy now raging in the
north as to whether marriage in private house
is legal. Some wise gentleman has solennly ques-
toned it, and no wonder they are agitated in the
north country, where marriage in church was a
rarity until the other day, and is not even com
mon yet. great lawyer decided many years
ago that not only was the ceremony binding If
performed in a private house. but that it was
equally so if the couple were Scotch youth and
maiden joined in wedlock by any third native on
the roadside. It is, however. well known that
at the time of the Reformation it was enioined
on Scotch ministers only to perform the marriage
ceremony in church. Gradually more latitude
was allowed to bridegrooms who thought It trial
to be married in public. and ministers consented
to marry in private houses, where the interested
parties were willing to pay handsomely for the
privilege In the annals Of Ayr. for instance,
there is peculiar Scotch regulation by which
the session agree to spermit marriages in pri-
vate houses provided that three pounds Scots
be paid down for the behalf of the poor By
and by the poor themselves began to see that
marriage at home had its conveniences, and then
the ministers found that it suited them too So
the OLD custom died out, not to be revived until
quite recently.

since last November, but no endorsements

the company had trouble in getting to Chicago.
They played weeks engagement there without
improving their condition financially. Manager

ceipts for the weeks engagement were not suffi-
cient to reimburse Mr.. English. and the members
of the company are unable to get out of the city
