Laying aside the other questions to
be affected by locality, is it possible
that any sensible human being, living
west of the Rocky Mountains, could do
anything but support what those who
are fumbling for objections to the exist

This attitude is not confined to those
west of the Rockies alone-far from it.

but to the people of all the Pacific

made across the greatest of all the oceans
and has 10 connected itself, for all com
mercal purposes, with the greatest of all
the old nations Of the Orient.
Business is busir.e ess. We have taken
into our hands the management of the

William Barry's Attempt
at Suicide a Failure.
Rope Made Of a Sheet Too
Light for His Weight.
Only Succeeds in Hurting Leg Instead
Of Ending Life.

laughable attempt at suicide. this
morning. Barry was boarding at the
Globe hotel. French street, and had
been drinking more or less. This morn
ing. he became. so he says, tired of
life and desired to make an end of
himself.
in this purpose he tore sheet. which
was his bed, in strips and knotted it
together forming a rope. Having done
this he made an end fast to the bed
and tied the other about his neck. He
then went 80 the window and jumped
out.
But he had not accurately calculated
the strength Of his cloth rope, so that
when the weight of his body was put
upon it. it broke and he went tumbling
to the ground, 20 feet below.
His right leg was severely mjured-it
is thought to have been fracturrd-and
he is now in the police station.
