FINDS HIS FATHER'S BIBLE.
Mayor Crittenden Learns of Late
Ex-Governor's Daily Reading.
While Mayor Thomas T. Crittenden, Jr., was yesterday cleaning up the desk used by his father, the late T. T. Crittenden, in his law offices he found a Bible with thumb worn leaves and many pencil marked passages.
"That was your father's Bible," said the former governor's stenographer, "and the very first thing he did on arriving at his office in the morning was to read a passage from it. No mater how urgent the business awaiting hi m, he would cast it aside until after the Bible reading."
The mayor last night sent the following communication to both houses of the council:
"Having passed through the most painful ordeal of my life -- the loss of my beloved father -- I hasten to convey to you and to the various departments of the government my gratitude for your kind words and beautiful expressions of sympathy. It was a great comfort to my mother and brother during our hours of darkness.
"I ask all of you to accept my abiding appreciation."
