The Philipsburg mail., 1898-11-18

church recently from Mackinac by
Bishop Davies of the Michigan diocese.
Bishop Davies telegraphed notice OF
the removal of Mr.. Baldwin to Rev.
DR.. Trisbie, secretary of the standing
committee of the diocese in Detroit,
with instructions to notify all the bish-
ops in the country OF the action taken
1t is said that Mi. Baldwin was de-
posed at his own request in order to
avoid a public trial. Back of this ac-
ton of Bishop Davies are broken vows,
broken homes, bigamy and the wreck
of the happiness of three trusting
women. No one knows to what part
Of the world Mr.. Baldwin has gone to
escape prosecution.
Rev. Mr.. Baldwin is a native OF Day.
ton, o., and is about 35 years Old he
is the youngest of twelve sons. He was
ambitious and religiously inclined, and
studied for time in the University OF
Chicago. He had pretty hard time
there. Some of his relatives promised
him assistance, and he entered Yale
college. He was noted there for his
studiousness, plety and marked pro-
fciency in languages. He spent three
years at Yale and left before gradu-
ating to accept a position as tutor in
languages in the University at Leip-
sic, where he continued his studies and
received his degree in 1886. He was
one of the first honor men, and carried
off the first prize for an essay on the
Sanscrit language. 1t was about this
time that Baldwin, who had received
the title of professor at the university,
became prominent in society and a
visitor at the American colony. His
fame as linguist was known through
out Germany, and brilliant future
was apparently in store for him.
Shortly after his graduation he met
Miss Adelaide Crittenton, the daughter
of Charles N. Crittenton, millionaire,
founder of the drug house OF Charles
N. Crittenton & Co., 115 Fulton street,
New York, and of the Florence mission,
in Bleecker street. Miss Crittenton
was chaperoned by her mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Crittenton, and her beauty
and accomplishments made her great
social favorite in the American colony.
Mr.. Baldwin fell in love with Miss
Crittenton and told her of his devotion
in the home of one of her friends in
Leipsic. Miss Crittenton was startled
and, not daring to trust to the prompt
ings of her heart, suddenly left Leip-
sic and hurried to London. Mr.. Bald
win learned where she was and fol-
lowed her. He pleaded his suit with
such eloquence that the missionary life
work Of the young woman faded from
her view and she married him without
the consent of her parents, it is said.
The parental forgiveness was soon
forthcoming, and Mr.. Crittenton was
the first to welcome his daughter and
son-in-law when they came to New
York city several months later. Mr..
Crittenton opened to them his home in
One Hundred and Eighteenth street
and they lived there for nearly year.
Mr.. Baldwin, when the liberal al
lowance had been settled upon his wife,
gave up all thought of other work and
devoted most of his time to the study
Of languages. The facilities were not
to his liking here, and he induced his
wife to move to Oxford. England. His
fame as linguist and scholar had pre-
ceded him, and he was welcomed as a
tutor in the university. 1t was about
this time that he became associated
with Professor John Crosby Brown OF
the Union Theological Seminary, Rev.
Dr. Briggs of New York and other
noted llnguists in Europe in the COM
pilation of a Hebrew lexicon. 1t is
