ters and two brothers Of his family
survive him. One sister, Mrs. Bruce
from Illinois, and Mrs. Crissey's moth.
er, Mrs Maurice. from Marengo, were
present AZ his death bed and accom-.
panied the bereaved wife back 10 the
old home
Mr. and Mrs. Crssey came TO Nor.
folk two years ago in May and have
made many warm friends here in that
time who are deeply pained at his un.
timely death and sorry TO lose the
companlonship of Mrs. Crissey. The
deceased held a position as travelling
salesman for the Hibbard.Spencer.
G. Bartlett Hardware company with
a territory surrounding Norfolk. Pre-
vious to coming 10 Norfolk he had
been employed in the house of the
same firm AT Chicago for two years,
and was an efficient and popular en-
ploye OF the firm.
Mr. Crissey was converted nine
years ago at Marengo and during his
ItSlUtuNt dl NIll'dSp lt u'lu lItIIDtI-
ship in the La Sale avenue Baptist
church, in which he held the office OF
clerk After his removal to Norfolk
he identified himself with the Baptist
church here and was honored with
the Office of deacon, which he filed
very satisfactorily. Besides his mem
bership in the Baptist church, he was
identified With the Gideons, a chris
tian travelling mems organization
Both the church and the Gideons sus-
tain loss in his death that will be
hard to fill Mr.. Crissey expressed a
strong desire to live for his family
and his church, but had bright hope
in the future and when the final sum.
mons came was ready to respond.
Besides being strong, earnest
christian, Mr.. Crissey was a man of
high moral character and was clean
cut and above board in all his rela.
tions with the public. His family life
was particularly happy, a more joyful
and congenial couple, up to the time
of his sickness, being seldom encoun-
tered. They scattered sunshine wher-
ever they went and this fact calls out
particular sympathy for the young
wife.

WOULDN'T LET THE MAYOR IN
New Jersey LandIady Refuses .Adnnis-
- sion to Mr.. Mcclellan and
His Wife
Special to The Herald.

CpSClai 10 lHe f1eTdl0.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The story OF
the recent automobile adventure of
Mayor Mcclellan in New Jersey is
quite interesting. 1t seems that the
mayor in the sadly dilapidated condi-
ton In which he found himself after
trying for an hour to repair his ma
chine, and then walking several miles
to a. country inn. was taken for n
tramp, and was at first refused ad-
nittance to the hotel.
The mayor slipped away from the
Tammany politicians, saying that he
was going to Boston. Instead, he put
iii the time whizzing around the roads
of New Jersey. The brother of his
chauffeur is an inventor of some sort
OF appliance in running gear, and
the proud chauffeur had induced the
mayor to test the invention. The re-
suit was a breakdown just at nightfall,
on lonely country road, many miles
from a railroad. The breakdown was
hopeless. Farmers asked $40 to tow
the machine to the nearest house. Fin
ally the mayor, Mrs. Mcclellan and
the chauffeur started for an inn a few
miles ahead on the road. The mayor
carried the big basket of luncheon,
Mrs. Mcclellan carried some band
boxes and the chauffeur carried every
thing else except the automobile, and
besides led Mrs. McClellan's Irish ter
rier. When they arrived at the inn,
the landlady, after hearing their story
of the brokendown automobile, told
them to move on.
"Oh, I've heard that before she
said sarcastically. Where's your
machine?"
The mayor pleaded eloquently
"Oh, we don't take professionals"
the woman replied. Finally the mayor
produced ten dollars and the land
lady was induced to change her mind.
She did not discover until the next
day. after he and Mrs. Mcclellan had
taken a train for Princeton, that she
had been entertaining the mayor Of
New York city.
