THE WEATHER.
Partly cloudy tonight and cooler.

NOT VERY HOPEFUL.

There is not much consolation to
he Democrats in the presidential out
look for next year. Judging from the
recent elections, the division in the
next electoral college is likely to be
374 Republican and zoe Democratic
votes.
This gives the Democrats all the
Southern states. Missouri, New York
and Rhode Island. They are now
trying to figure out how they can get
enough to win. 1t ia claimed by the
Democrats that they can carry New
York should Mr.. Cleveland be nomi-
mated fer the presidency.
The Republicans can win without
New York but the Democrats can't.
How the Democrats expect to carry
New York however, even il Mr.
Cleveland should b. nominated, IL
hard to understand, especially il Pres
ident Roosevelt, a New York man, il
nominated by the Republicans. o
course 1t is possible, but German o
mo other Democrat could carry New
YORK, although Mr.. Cleveland nigh
do so.
1t is predicted by some of the bes
politicians In the country that tn
Democrats can't carry either New
York or Rhode Island, leaving then
with put i59 votes in the electora
college. There appears to be no posi-
BILE way for the Democrats to win mex
wear.

PARIS, May 29.-Marguerite Boyvenal of
Thelles, near San Quentin, who had been in
a cataleptic state since May a. 1883. awak-
ened Wednesday.
For some time past she had been suffer-
ing from phthisis and 1t is believed that
the effect Of this malady on her system
conduced to her reawakening.
She moved her hand on Saturday for the
first time and groaned slightly.
When DR.. Charter took hold OF her arm
she said. You are pinching me-" and sub
sequently replied TO questions by Yes" and
No" She was, however, in a state Of
great weakness and gradually sank, dying
the day after awakening.
Marguerite Boyvenal's lethargy was
caused by fright. She had had a child.
which died shortly after it's birth under
circumstances which led to the opening of
an investigation. One day in May, 1888,
while Marguerite was ironing. a neigh
Dor said to her: THE gendarmes are com
ing to arrest you"
Marguerite had a stroke of fits and grad
ually fell into her long slumber.
In 1896 the girl was described as being
white as a statue and corpselike as a
mummy. her body wasted away TO almost
a skeleton and her bones seeming 10 be
covered with parchment instead of skin.
The body was rigid and only the pulse
beats showed that She was alive.
Life was sustained by washing her body
in milk every day and pouring a few drops
Of milk OF spirits into the sleeper's mouth
through Q reed. Many prominent physi-
clans visited the patient during her twenty
year sleep.
