At the age 14 in her father's theatrical troupe, she scrambled across the ice floes on a stage at Troy, N. Y., ascended to heaven on a telegraph wire. All her life Mrs. MacDonald has been sitting sweetly through performances of Uncle Tom's Cabin. When the play has been given in Boston, Mrs. MacDonald has always had the best box, been reported crying softly during the death scene. Last week she listened demurely...
