lie never reached the top Of the
ladder, or blazed forth a star OK the
first magnitude in the theatrical flrma-
ment, he was for many years, and
down to the time of his death, popu-
lar actor whose presence always added
vitality to a cast and won favor from
an audience.
Frank Mayo, born in Boston, April
49, 1889, was in his fifty-seventh year.
Entering the dramatic profession when
quite young, he was connected with
the stage for forty years, and owing
to his long service 1t was presumed by
many that he was a much older man
than the figures indicate. His success
with "Puddnhead Wilson" had not
only rehabilitated his fortunes, which
at one time had reached a very low
ebb, but had apparently given him a
new lease Of life.
In 1854 Mr.. Mayo left Boston and
made his way to the Pacific coast,
where his natural bent for the stage
soon became manifest. Two years
after arriving in San Francisco qS56)
he made his first essay on the stage,
appearing at the American theater,
then under the management Of Laura
Keene as the waiter in farce called
Raising the Wind" Subsequently
he played for several seasons in San
Francisco and among the mining
towns, in the support of Edwin Booth,
Laura Keene, Julia Dean Hayne,
James Anderson and the Chapman
family, and in 1863 made so much of
hit as Mana Sahib in Boucicaults
drama, "Jessie Brown" that he became
the favorite leading man of the gold
coast, an enviable position, which he
was able to maintain until 1865, when
his base Of operations was transferred
to the Boston theater. On Aug. "a,
1865, he played Badger in "The Streets
of New York" at that theater with
great success, and was subsequently
seen there and elsewhere in Hamlet,
Richard Ill, Iago, 0thello, Jack Cade,
D'Artagnon, Don Caesar de Bazan and
other characters.
His work during this period was that
Of leading man in legitimate stock
company, but in 1867 he made de-
termined bid for stellar honors by
producing "Davy Crockett" a typical
American play. This important event
In his career occurred at Rochester, N.
Y, Sept. "a, 1872, and thereafter for
eight years he played the character of
the American backwoodsman continu-
Ously.
But when the vogue of "Dayy Crock

OLDEST IN THE WEST.
Centennial Celebration OF the New De-
sign, ILL.,, Baptist Church.


The Oldest Baptist church in Illinois,
or in the West, is at New Design, Ill.
II was built in 1896, and its centennial
was duly celebrated by the Baptlsts Of
the state quite recently. In the sum-
mer OF 1887 James Smith, a Baptist
preacher from Lincoln county, Ky.,.
visited New Design and preached to
the people. His labors were successful,
and several Of the pioneers protested
to be converted. Amongst them were
Joseph ogle, James kmen, their wives
and other connections. On May 10
Smith was taken prisoner by a party
OF Kickapoo Indians and carried off
captive,
In his absence meetings were held,
conducted by Shadrach Bond, who was
the first Governor of Illinois. At one
OF these meetings a stranger came in,
whose dress indicated that he was in
advance Of the hunting shirts and In-
dian moccasins Of the settlers. The
stranger was Rev. Joseph Dodge, from
Kentucky, on his way to visit a
brother, residing in ste, Genevieve. He
spent several days preaching in the
settlement, and upon his departure,
baptized James Lemen and wife, John
Gibbons and Isaac Enochs, who were
the first persons baptized in the terri
tory.
For the next two years they were
without a preacher, but continued to
hold regular meetings, In the spring
Of 1896 Elder David Badgley of Vir-
ginia made them a visit. Before he
depa&ed, on May 30, he baptized Is
persons.

He entered the bank, passed through

branch glanced at the letter he mad
brought. 1t was an ordinary letter OIL
introduction from the general manager
Of the company stating that the bearer
was Arthur Gordon Durrant, whose
signature would be found attached,
and who had, In accordance with ad-
vices previously forwarded, been in

had been Durrant's fate to spend a
month or two at most Of those
branches which were at the greatest

mentioned that 1t was in Kensington
that Miss Florence Kendall abode, and
that, therefore, Kensington was the

Al There were many strange animals at

during the recent animal show. but the
strangest of them all was a steer with
three horns, three eyes and three nos
trils He is the strangest animal In the
country, in fact His owner calls him

Each the queer animals three
hornsIdsts perfectly formed. Two O.
them are where the horns Of a perfect
steer should be and the third is about
midway between the others. Two of
his eyes are like those of an ordinary
steer. The third is not fully developed.
but it is an eye nevertheless. Each of
the trio of nostrils is well proportioned
and the animal breathes and smells
with all of them.
The extra horn, eye and nostril are
in a straight line from the top OF the
head down, each being a little TO the
left of the middle. The amount of
hooking and snorting that can be done
by this marvellous beast can easily be
imagined.

CITY Hall Sites Onered


Special Dispatch to the standard.
Livingston. May 21.-Once again the
city council has met and adjourned
without deciding upon a site for the
city hall, but the selection will in all
probability be made at the session to-
morrow night. Alderman Mallahan
executed a hank movement on the rail-
road proposition by submitting to the
council a statement from high officials
of the Northern Pacific that they did
not desire to make a lease for less than
10 years. Consequently this PROPOSE
ton was laid upon the table without
more ado Several new bids were sub
mitted. A. w. Miles offered two lots
on the corner of Calendar and Second
for $1,000; two inside lots on Second,
between Calendar and Park, for 81; 40x
100 feet on Calendar, opposite Wake
fields stable, for $500; 50xS0 feet on
the rear of the lots where the present
city hall is located, for $500. ]. w.
Stoel reduced his former bid to $1,000
and then took another tumble to $1,7J0
This property is 50xS0 feet on the cor
ner of Calendar and b.
The majority of the council expressed
themselves in favor of either the Stoel
property or the 81, 200 proposition Of
Miles. After some discussion and a
recess a motion was finally made to
accept the Stoel site. Alderman Cor
don, Hruza and Mallahan voted aye,
and Mayne, Thompson and Wakefield,
nay. Mayor Harvey decided the tie by
voting in the negative.
At the session tomorrow the Miles
site for 81. 200 will probably be selected.
unless Alderman Mayne shall arrive at
the conclusion that the Stoel bid is the
best for the city, and change his vote
accordingly.
