MEET AFTER so YEARS.

Peoria Herald-TranScTipt Two men
who had not seen each other for 80
years came together in the National
hotel yesterday morning when Oliver
Doud Byron. playing the leading part
in The Lion and the Mouse" at the
Majestic theatre. met Charles W. Crit
fifth of Des MOines, who is visiting in
this city.
The two elderly men had been boys
together in the city Of Baltimore GO
years ago. In 1852 Byron as a lad
was working in a type foundry. Grit
fifth in a factory. In 1854 at the age
of II he began his stage career with
the elder Joseph jefferson. He opened
the famous Ford theatre in 1861 with
Lucille Western and there, during the
war times, Griffith. then a soldier
saw him for the last time until the
two men met yesterday. In this thea
tire John Wilkes Booth shot President
Lincoln four years later.
Oliver DOud Byron is probably the
oldest leading man in the theatre
business in the world. He has played
with every great actor or actress in
the last half century and he stated
last night while dressing himself to
take his cue that he considered him
self still young man and that he
hoped to die on the stage with his
boots on. Il would rather be OIL the
stage than be in heaven" he says.
For I know what the stage is and
don't know about heaven" Pictures

curious reminder of the years gone by
is a silver % cent piece. furnished

which he wears as a watch guard
Sixty years ago as a lad he tried to
save his pennies. He saved %. They
went into a savings institution and
were forgotten for 40 years. Just by
accident he was notified that his
credit was good for % cents and this
incident came back to him. He Sc
cured a 25 cent piece of the date when
the savings were made and this forms
his unique watch charm. The old
actor is now a well to do man who
follows the stage because he loves it.
He is a writer of ability and has pro
duced several plays. among them Ben

Hero" dramas which had their runs
years ago.

NOT THIS WEEK
National League Will Be Unable
to Agree Upon Schedule
Before Monday.
MAGNATES GIVEN A SHOCK
Resentment Stirred at independence
Shown by American League in
Making Choice.

New York, Feb. 17.-Indications are
that the National league schedule will
not be announced before Monday next.
The short season faction claims to be
gaining over the friends of the 16S-
game schedule
There was something of a stir among
the National league magnates gathered
league had announced its schedule.
President Lynch declared the rival
major league had prepared two sched-
ules of 154 games each, one to be OBJ
served if the National league played
154 games, and the other if 1t played
16S. The idea was that in case of a
longer schedule on the part of the OPP
position the playing season in the
American league might be extended
some days.
Would Show Independence.
According TO the National leaguers,
the fact that the American league has
gone about its business without wait
ing may help solve the problem Ad-
vOcates of the 16S-game schedule ar
gued the scheme must be adopted at
any cost. if only to show the complete
independence of the National league.
Western Also Slow.
Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Western
league has not yet decided upon a
schedule. Some of the magnates op-
pose the 16S-game season.
