IN CRITTENTON'S MEMORY
HONOR rs PAID THE LIFE OF THE
FOUNDER OF RESCUE WORK.
From New York Across the World
Meetings Were Held Tuesday in
Observance of His Birthday.

observance OF HIS DIEAuA5ys
In distant Shanghai and Toxic, as
we'll as in many cities throughout
the United States, women and girls
who have been saved from poverty,
disease and worse gathered Tuesday
to observe the birthday and bless the
memory of their benefactor, the late
Charles N. Crittenton, the distin-
guished merchant and philanthropist
who died recently In San francisco,
where he had gone for the benefit or
his health.
Mr.. CrittentOn was Well-knoWn IN
Dawson, having conducted revival
services here two or three years ago,
at which time a Florence Crittenton
Circle was organized by some OF the
ladies of the city.
The career of Mr.. Crittenton as an
evangelist has no parallel IN TINS
country. For twenty years he was
successful business man in New YORK
and was president of the Charles n.
Crittenton Company, wholesale drug
gists. On March 16, 1882, his daugh-
ter. Florence, years old, died, and
he began the rescue mission work as
a monument to her memory.
No child in all history has had
such a monument erected to her
name. Starting with the Florence
Crittenton Night Mission at No. Il
Blocker street, New York, opened IN
1888. Mr.. Crittenton began to branch
out. and devoted himself continuous
" to the missionary and evangel1stlC
work. He was a wealthy man, with
a large income derived from the drug
business, with which he retained his
interest, and this money he devoted
to the establishment Of missions.
He systematized the mission WORK
as no one else ever had, and estab-
Iished the National Florence Critten-
ton Mission, which had charge OF the
opening of Florence Crittenton homes
for helpless and friendless girls
More than seventy-tive or THESE
homes were established in this coun'
try, and then Mr.. Crittenton en-
larged his field of activity to embrace
the world.
In Shanghai, Toxic, the City OF
Mexico and the large cities OF nearly
every country there is a monument
to the little five-year-old who, II is
said, asked her father with her dy-
ing breath to help other girls in the
rescue homes named after her.
Wherever the conditions were the
worst there Mr. Crittenton could be
found laboring in his particular field
Mr.. Crittenton was born at Hen
derson, Jefferson county, New York,
Feb. 20, 1888. He began business
in this city in a store in Sixth avenue
in 1868. He was a worker and con-
tributor in the cause of prohibition
and in the SOS was the prohibition
nominee for mayor of New YORK.

CIV. Saye Electrician, Albany, Ga
BALLOT is EIGHT FEET LONG.
Referendum Is Blamed For Cumber-
some Document.

The state secretary's office in
South Dakota is beginning to prepare
for the state election. The officials
and clerks find that the ballot set in
BREWER type will be 10 inches wide
and over eight feet long. Such a
ballot will be hard to issue, and even
harder to vote.
If the use Of the referendum con-
tinues to grow the ballot will become
SO cumbersome that many voters will
refuse to take it from the judges,
and the result is likely to be light
vote on the question of the adoption
or rejection of laws.

BOAT TRAIN ENGINE
 DETAILED AND OVERTURNED. Went On to Siding at Groton Where
 Switch Had Been Left Open.

Passengers of the boat train leaving New London at 5.50 o'clock for Wor- cester were placed in a perilous posi- tion Tuesday morning when the engine was derailed on switch just north of the Groton station. The engine turned over on its side when it left the tracks. The tender and the cars of the train, four in number, remained on the rails. Both engineer and fireman jumped in time to escape injury. Aside from a slight shaking up, none of the passen- gers was injured.
 The derailment was the result of a switch being left open. The train ran on to the open switch into one of the sfdings at the north end of which it went from the derail. As the heavy engine went over the derail track the safety chains and shackle bar joining the engine and tender separated. This, together with the fact that he engine was moving slowly, averted a wreck which might have proved disastrous. The engine plowed up the roadbed for some distance and WAS buried quite deeply in the sand which at this point forms the roadbed.
 It is thought the switch was left open by member of the wrecking crew.
