WHAT Is LITKRARY Property,


mr.. George Haven Putnam OF New
York Delivers an Interesting Ad-
dress I'm the Mechanics, Course,
Mr.. George Haven Putnam, of Putrsm's
publishing house, New York, delivered q
very interesting lecture In the mechanics
oouree last evening at North Sheffield hall.
bis subject was: The Beginning of Liter
airy Property" and be said In the course of
his remarks:
The definition of literary property is the
right to dispose of any literary production.
In snoient times there was no such thing
as literary property. Yet there was q
recognition The intrinsic value Of literary
property lies not in its forms, but in its
substance and character. In Egypt 1t was
peculiar fact that the first publishers were the
undertakers. Their publication, however, was
| Dead" 1t contained burial hymns, scraps Of
poetry, philosophical suggestions and some
Among the Hebrews the priests were the pub
iishers, and they had 9 practical copyright of
the literature. Greek literature was spread In
lists; and one Of tbs most remarSssie f.cts sSout
| this literature was the development Of memory
gn
day. Many are quoted having the entire
twenty four books of Homer in their memory.
The later publishers of Greek literature were
very modest class OF mon, as only two OF their
nsmes have been preserved to us through Lu.
Glen. few centuries after Christ the center OF
| literary activity was removed to Alexandria,
| where it remained for three centuries.
| Later, when Rome was q literary center, 1t be
came custom to give away complimen tary
| copies of books This the poet Martial, who wa
/ q chronic grumbler, much disliked, as is show
in one of his epigrams.
| The contention as to what was the property II
| literary ideas dates back az far the time O
| Procuius in IS A. D. The point has been unde
| contention ever since. ana has never been who'll
| settled.

THE BIG RAILROAD DEAL.

The Notable Joint Meeting To-Day
Consolidated and Boston and
Maine Directors Meet-To Ratify
the Contract for Amtcable and
Profitable Business Relations.
The Boston News Bureau last evening
ssys: Tomorrow the New Haven and
Boston and Maine boards will both meet
and ratify contract for division of terri
tory under which the New Haven will
have the right to buy the Boston and
Albany without the interference of the
Boston and Maine treasury and everything
In New England south of it, leaving the
field clear SO far as the Boston and Maine
is concerned, for the New Haven to fight
1t out with the New England. The New
Haven agrees not to purchase securities,
roads or business ia New England north
OF the Boston and Albany, which means
that the Boston and Maine ia free to buy
the Fitchburg road and fight with the
Concord. The Vermont Central, crossing
both these territories, can be taken by
neither.
The Boston and Maine and New Haven

first time in Its history and Wagner cars
will go to Bar Harbor or st. Johns. Joint
trains will be run and pro rate of cars will
be upon mileage basis.
President Mcleod of the Boston and
Maine approves of the contract, end never
objected, "a has been stated from New
York, to the appointment of the confer
enoe committee. Each company will main
tain rates, and the traffic managers will
make their own agreements, but in case of
difference reference is to be made to the
board of directors and not to arbitration,
The compact is for one year aud ia termin-
ated on one years notice. II the direct
ors cannot agree the years notice will
| be given. We are informed that the
New Haven has contracted for the
purchase of the Boston and Albany; that
the Reading interest controls New York
and New England through proxies, and
will take possession at the meeting next
Tuesday, unless interfered with by appli.
cations for receivership or legal contest
in the interest of New Haven. Railroad
treasures now having been gotten into
shape, an effort will be made to GUST Nc.
Leod as receiver of Reading, and there may
be an effort in the same interest to make
| another midnight receivership of the New
York and New England. We believe bott
sides are prepared for the receivership.

1.-THE Crust of Society was admirably pre-
sented at the Hyperion last night to packed
house by an excellent company. The text of the
play IL taken from what Is termed the unwritten
social law, which Is to the effect that "a good
man shall marry none but good woman" It is
this text which impsls a man who has formerly
been the lover of q woman to betray her true
character In order to save his friend who il in
fatuated with her, from marrying her and thus
running his life. The woman il Mrs. Eastlake
Chapel, the man Oliver st. Aubyn, and the
friend Captain Randall Northcote. The play
abounds in striking situations and
dramatic points, which were demonstrated
by the excellent cast. Special praise is due to
Mr.. John e. KeIlerd as Oliver St. Aubyn, Miss
Carrie Turner as Mrs. Eastlake Chapel, and Miss
May Dana a. Mrs. Ernestine Echo. There viii
