"Yes, that is possible, but suppose it

The Spokane Falls Chronicle is OF
posed to the name "Tacoma" for the
flturo state, because it "does not wish
to lead itself to BOOM to the city OF

proposition is to cali the state "Wash.

would be only a little more absurd than
"Cascadia,' suggested some time ago.

The story goes that 5000 badges with the speakers picture had been slowed away in . room at the Southern. ready to be unloaded as soon as tAs news that Ohio disagreed was made public; that Henry Watterson, Morri- son. Randall and other leading Demo crats would have openly espoused the speakers candidacy, and that to pave the way in the convention 'Nickn Warrington, of Illinois, would have sub mitted resolution at the outset of the pro- ceedings paying tribute to the senator's devotion to and services in the cause of the Democratic party, and regretting that he had reached an age when it would be neither right nor just to call upon him again to serve the people in an official capacity. Then an effort would have been made to carry Carlisle through on tidal wave.
 But the action of the Ohio delegation knocked this little scheme in the head. and the Carlisle boom and the Carlisle badges will be put upon the shelf, and may be brought out and dusted four years from now.

TIRED OF LIFE.
A woman's Three Attempts at Suicide
 in Bridgeport Jail. ~

in Bridgeport Jail. e~
 BRIDGEPORT, June 5.-Mary Donovan, about 70 years of age, and intoxicated, drifted into the police station in East Bridgeport last evening just before 7 o'clock and Sergeant Jennings locked her up. About 9:20 his attention was called by one of the prisoners locked in the cell next to the woman and on Investigating found her hanging to the cell door with her apron tied tight around her neck. She was almost strangled. He immediately cut her down and took her apron and shawl away thinking she might make an- other attempt on her life. In this he was right for hardly had he been out at his desk five minutes when he heard heavy suffocated breathing. Suspecting that it was the old lady once more he ran to the cell and again found her hanging to the door this time tied up with her stocking. Cutting her down 8 second time he took away everything that he thought was pos sible for her to make use of for another attempt He kept his eye on her fol awhile until he thought she had given up the idea. Every little while he visited the cell to see that it was all right. He was gone at one interval for about fifteen min utes and when he returned found he, hanging for the third time with her petit coat tied about her neck. Again he cut her down and took the garment away For the rest of the night she was watched with redoubled attention.

 WASHINGTON, June 5-Gen- Sheridan is undoubtedly much worse than be has been at any time since he was taken ill He was thought to be surely dying at one time, but his wonderful vitality came again to his rescue, and be finally sank into com- paratively restful sleep. He was afflicted with two distressful hemorrhages from his lungs which greatly alarmed everybody in the sick room The blood was black end congealed, and its passage caused the general great pain. 1t was the universal opinion that the attack would surely have a fatal termination, but it did not, and the pa- tient became comfortable again The doc tors will not admit that he rests under the in- fiuenoe of opiates, but they have trouble in convincing those who closely watch the case that they are perfectly frank in the infor1na- tion winch they give to the public.
 After the first attack Father Chapelle, of St. Matthew's church, was hastily sent for, and messengers were ordered to various parts of the city. There was great excitement about the house, and each person felt that the end had come. Their fears were finally quieted, but all feeling of hope seems to have fed, ana shere is no denying the fact that death is expected at any hour.
 Two weeks ago last night Gen Sheridan tvas stricken with the first attack of "heart failure" The course of his dangerous illness has been watched with universal anxiety and world wide interest In Washington the people have manifested their anxiety and sympathy in significant ways Perhaps the hagstafIs about the city , were never before more largely watched The humblest people, white and black, depend on the flags as certain proof that the general is still living.

 Early this morning proposition was made to the Indiana delegation to withdraw the name of Governor Gray from the contest for second place, and it is more than probable that this will be done before the meeting of the convention.

bearer they must lose Ohio. With Thurman we shall make as strong a fight in Illinois and Indiana as we would with Gray or Black, for Gray is too good Democrat not to accede to what is the plain interest of the party, and Black is young enough to wait. Besides these, the appointment of Fuller to the chief justiceship ought to satisfy Illinois, and it does.
