Mr. Mayo was the son of the late Frank Mayo, for whom the play “Pudd’'n Head Wilson” was written. Mr. | Mayo and his wife were stopping at the Frontenac. Mayo was chatting with Ed- win Varney, manager of the Academy of Musie, until 2 o'clock. When Mr. Varney started to take his leave Mr. Mayo arose to see him out and suddenly fell back in | his chair. He bled profusely from the | mouth and was dead before a doctor, who | was called, could get to the hotel. | It is a strange fact that the elder Mayo, who created the part in “Pudd'n Head | Wilson" In which his son succeeded him, died In the same sudden manner severai vears ago hile traveling with his com- pany.
