RIGHTS OF BOILERS.
An Interesting Question Under the Aus
tralian Ballot Law I'm Illinois.

traltan Ballot Law I'm Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 3o.-The question
raised at Plano, H., - to the right Of q voter,
under the Australian ballot law, to scratch his
ticket and vote for some person whose name is
not printed on the ticket, is likely to be carried
tothe Supreme Court At any rate, legal opinions
disagree, and no authority short Of the Supreme
Court can settle the important point. There
are those who hold that no candidate can be
voted for whose name is not on the ticket, SO
that although a voter may scratch his ticket
he must make q choice Of candidates from
those whose names are regularly printed on the
ticket.
Reed Green, chairman Of the House commit
tee on elections, who framed the Australian
ballot law, Is understood to take this view.
Gen. Hunt, however, says that the law does
not forbid the scratching Of a ticket in this
way, and he holds that a voter has o right to
vote for any one whom he chooses. no matter
whether the name Of such person is printed
on the ticket or not

no one was about, instead 0f ID the day
time AZ it was, the ere depaTtmSnt re-
sponded promptly, and the store was
saved, with comparatively slight dam
age. But the danger to life and prop
erty from the general use OF electricity
for illuminating purposes Is growing
from year to year.
IN 50 many homes tho. conyenient
white incandescent light has taken the
place Of the yellow, faring gas, that the
peril from bare wires is growing greater
from year 10 year The natural gas
fires that are liable to spring up IN the
night and set fire to the house is one
source OF danger and the electric light
wire is another. Then there are bur
glars. sneak thieves and other perils, SO
that altogether the Pittsburg house
holder is in tho midst Of dangers that
require all his ingenuity to meet.-Pitts-
