THURMAN’S SISTER.

A representative of the United Press called upon Mrs. Creimensnyder at her home in Lancester, Pa., Saturday, to elicit her views on the subject of the nomination of her brother, Allen G. Thurman, for the ’Vice Presidency. Mrs. Creimensnyder is the wife of the wellknown clergyman of that name. “I don’t know how my sister-in-law, Mrs. Thurman, will receive the news,” she said. “She always hoped that Allen would be President. For my ow n part, I believe it would be more agreeable to them both to live in retirement in Columbus, but the duties of the Vice President are not so burdensome, and will probably furnish the needed amount of exercise to keep Mr. Thurman in good health. It is nonsense to say Allen is in danger of death. He has had rheumatism, but that does not kill at his age. He needs to be careful of his food and drink, as all men should he at his time of life. The Thurmans are a long-lived family. Mjfigrandfather died when he . was upward of eighty, and of his eleven children - who - father, Pleasant Thurman, died at the youngest age, and he was seventy-two., Allen and I are the sole survivors of the family. He is the Oldest and T am -tfe' youngest.” , 1 ■ , .. , ■. Emperor Frederick has abandoned the; use of beer as he finds it disagrees with i him. ’
