HE RESIGNATION OF
 MISS BROADB00k
An Approaching Wedding the Reason For Her Retirement From Superin tendency of Crittenton Home.

Miss Ellen NJ Broadbook, the super intendcnt of the Florence Crittenton Home in this city. has rendered her resignation of the board of managers, effective the latter part of September. and her successor Miss W H. Messin- ger is expected to arrive here this morning from Atlanta. Ga, where she has been similarly a~ ated with Crittenton Home work. le has had six years of experience escue work and comes recommended highly to this assignment.
 Expression of regret will be sincere and general with the announcement of Miss Broadbook's resignation for sre has served the cause faithfully here for the past eleven years and much of the success of the Home has been due to her devotion and untiring effort and the inspiration of her faith and human sympathy.
 Many will pause to ask the cause of her resignation from the superintend- ency of the Home. It is not due to friction in the management for there has been none and all has been most harmonious and satisfactory. It is not due to a desire on her part to become, dissociated from the rescue work, for it can be announced that Miss Broad book will continue to devote more or less of her time and influence to the cause of unfortunate women and girls and in assisting the Home in every way in her power.
 The reason for Miss BroadboOI's resignation is the near approach of the happy event of her marriage to Frank M. Cole, a well known resident of Phoenix for the past ten years. It may be surmised that this will take place soon after the Home is placed in charge of the new superintendent.
 Miss Broadbook has been connected with Crittenton work for sixteen years eleven of which have been spent in Phoenix. She took charge ~ere when the rescue work was in it's earliest be- ginning, and the Home at that time occupied a three-rOom cottage on Jackson street Many discouragements

 cal pioneers in that line but Miss
 Broadbook clung to the faith in it's ul-
 innate success, believing a higher
 Power had directed her here to carry out a noble mission. She had brought with her an adopted daughter, Louise. who also believed that there was duty to be performed for the girls of Arizona. Together they labored for a long time, and it was only two years ago that her adopted daughter left the work here
 The Home owned the lots at 1050 East Garfield street, which is the pres ent location and in October 1898 was laid the corner stone of the substan- tial building wherein the work has been continued with increasing good. Since that time many obstacles have been encountered. and often it was a struggle to supply the daily needs. Notwithstanding. there are scores of women in Arizona thankful for this refuge and now call it blessed It has carried out three lines in rescue. that of betrayed girls. stranded women and the care of children. Six to seven have have been sent to school the past win ter
 The inmates have been trained in lessons in economy and against wastefullness. as well as being shown the true path. Naturally asso- citation in this work has endeared the girls to the superintendent and her to them and it will prove a sad hour for all when the ties are formally severed Miss Broadbook's resignation was ac- cepted with great reluctance by the board. However they are much grat- flied that they have been able to se- cure the services of an experienced matron to take charge and carry on the great work.
 To a Republican reporter yesterday Miss Broadbook stated that she wish ed to thank one and all for all the kind assistance that had been given her. Business men have been liberal and donations have been received from
