Thurman Treatment of n Contract La
borer by His Boss.
HoLYoKE, Mass, Nov. 22.-Charles L.
Parsons, of Northampton, notorious for
hiring ignorant immigrants at Castle
Garden and leasing their services to
farmers in this section. was arrested here
yesterday for having Polander, dressed
only in ovoralls, shoes and thin coat,
chained to the seat of his buggy and suf-
fering intensely from the cold, which
literally froze the tears on his purple
cheeks.
The people here are greatly excited
over the matter and Parsons arrest is all
that saved him from being mobbed. He
will BIO tried to-day for assault, false
Imprisonment and cruelty.

BosroN, Nov. 90 EARLY last evening, while

hole thus made and grasped tray containing
ten diamond rings. Lewis and his daughter

the outside with a chain and Yale lock. In
his flight the thief dropped all but the two
rings, valued at $l65. Those which he dropped
were recovered

How "she" Battles in Fire.

II Is not generally known that there arc
seventy "acting people" on the stage in "She,n
at the Fourteenth Street Theatre, and thirty
people who appear in the spectacular portions
Of the production. The fire of life scene, in
which She takes her midnight bath, calls for
the service of eighteen men, some of whom

them. When Laura Clements dips into the
flame of fire, she steps on a trap, which is
sunk, and falls into the arms Of half dozen
strong men, who are waiting for her.

Almost any night or morning, about or

She is proof-reader for the Charleston World.
She comes Of n family-the Memminger stock
which is known both for brains aud pluck
Her duties take her to the office Of the news
paper about o'clock every night and detain
her there until the next morning.
She has no fears IN the heart of Carolina,
where woman is next in divinity to God; and
she goes to and from her nightly task with a
stout spirit.
But she does not rely upon mere courage
She carries loaded revolver in one hand and
lantern in the other.
The police keep lookout for her goings
and comngs and hail her as she passes their
beats. There is no doubt that she would use

These tears which fell in lieu of his
own somewhat comforted the young
bachelor lie took to thinking calmly
of these two miseries which had just
encountered each other, jostled each
other before his eyes, setting each other
in relief by the law Of contrasts.
1t may be that Time, the great moulder,
has himself somewhat idealized this
youthful "reminiscences, which Nj. Jules
Claretic related TO me not long ago, but
1t is none the less true that the impression
of that day, which still endures, has
exercised a permanent influence on his
life, and even perhaps decided the path
which has been followed by the author
who was already developing under the
shy and very sentimental bachelor.
Bound TO make his choice between the
esthetics of phantasy and the esthetics
of reality, he chose a middle point-the
exact point at which these two extremes
touch one another, affording room for
the evolution of human soul, of an
artistic and literary temperament.
Every one has read the author, and they
who know the man, with his excellent
heart open TO every degree of tenderness,
indulgont to all physical and moral
wretchedness, will have no difficulty in
finding the formula to which NJ Jules
Claretie has remained faithful, from the
beginning to the end of the long and
laborious career which has just conducted
him to the French Academy.

OSE OF the significant features Of the
Republican National Convention has
been the prominence Of Depew, the Pres
ident OF the New York Central Railway,
and the son-in-law OF the late William II.
Vanderbilt, as a candidate for President
He will appear in that body, unless he
changes his mind, as the unanimous
choice OF the New York Republicans
That would seem to settle the State as to
corporations, monopolies, trusts, "com'
bines" and the un-Republican, un.Dem-
ocratic specialties, of the grand old party
Of the people in the Empire State. They
at least, no matter how benighted Repub-
licans may be from other sections of the
Union, believed, to quote the language
OF the late Abraham Lincoln, in "gov-
ernment Of the people, for the people and
by the people," The New York Repub-
licans have graded themselves, by their
expressed preference for Depew, as stall
warts. 1t would be slightly amusing
il the California delegation, after all their
believing for Blaine, should wind up by
voting for Stanford. OF course the fine
Italian hand OF Creed Raymond would
not be seen in such a result The Hon.
Michael III. de Young might find some
difficulty in being party to such su-
perfine anti-monopoly demonstration ;
but then Mr.. de Young is a man of gem
ius, and with such people the unexpected
is always sure to happen. If the Califor-
MIA delegation shall return to the Coast
after having made fervid advocacy OF
the claims of the leonine Stanford for
President, their welcome cannot fail to
be cordial in the extreme, nor can it fail
to give great send.of to the party to
which they belong. 1t will be a capital
endorsement of the railway magnate's
election to the United States Senate, as
to which some sharp and doubtless un-
truthful things were said at the time.
But, to drop into Bunsbyian wisdom, we
shall doubtless see what we shall see.
Heroic and poetical figures, like that of
Creed Raymond, do not show up in
national Conventions for nothing. His
pathetic eloquence, which has been
heard in preliminary fourishes in the
Chicago streets in advocacy OF Jim
Blaine, may yet be turned on at its full
diapason as the advocate of the great rail-
way builder from the Pacific Slope.

may not count as high in the

ing that it belongs in the category Of
things which should be weighed, not

the scale of national events, as the re-
cords OF the two Conventions prove.
