at New York,

at New York.
New YORK, July l9.-George Frederic
Parsons, long an editorial writer and
book reviewer for the Tribune, died this
morning from Bright's disease at his
home in this city. He was many years
resident of Sacramento, from which city

of the most versatile and accurate critics

years.
Mr.. Parsons was born at Brighton,
England. on June 10, 1910. In 1862 he
and his father, with many other English
men, went to British Columbia to seek
their fortune in the gold mines that
seemed to promise to become the rivals
OF the California mines. About the first
venture Parsons made there was in news
paper work. He owned and edited for
two years the North Pacific Times. After
that experience he went to Vancouver
Island, where in 1874 he married Miss
Dizzie Campbell. Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons
remained one year at Vancouver Island,
and from there went to san Francisco.
Mr.. Parsons lived in California for about
seventeen years.
In San Francisco he edited the Times.
He became familiar with the wild life of
those early days in California, and in
many of his short stories published in
the New York Ledger and in other pub
LEGATIONS showed that he had studied and
appreciated the life OF the miners and
gam blers Of the Pacific Coast. From San
Francisco Parsons went to Sacramento,
where he edited the RECORD UNION
There he remained until 1882, when he
came to New York. Since then he had
been an editorial writer for the Tribune.
