No Omcial sample Ballot.

As the campaign progresses the defects Of
the Election Law, known as the Wilson Act,
and which Was passed by the last legislature,
become more and more glazing. As result
of Its complication there will be no issue Of
sample ballots this year In accordance with
certificates of nominations as filed with the
Secretary OF State. Such ballots have been
customary since the passage Of the Election
Law at the extra session of the legislature In
1901, and have proved Of great assistance In
the instruction of lliterate voters.
Ballots issued this year will be those issu-
ed by the campaign managers Of the two
parties in the city and in the several coun'
ties. and while they will probably be correct
they will not be official.
The failure of the Secretary Of State to Is.
sue sample ballots grows out Of the lack OF
uniformity in the Wilson Act, which be-
slows extraordinary powers upon the Board
of Election Supervisors for Baltimore city
and the several counties. They are given
the power to arrange the names Of candi.
dates In any order which they see proper.
In the counties comprising the 30 called
'black belt" and In strong republican coun.
ties in Western Maryland, ballots must be
printed with the party designations opposite
the names of the several candidates omitted.
1t is apparent, therefore, that It would be
an impossible task for the Secretary Of State
TO issue sample ballots.

Ate Until He Died.

Determined to sustain his reputation as
the champion eater of the world, Philip Mel.
10y, local character, is dead at Dubuque,
Ia, rs the result of devourinR IS pounds of
raw beef in 30 hours. When physicians ex-
amIned bis stomach they pronounced 1t three
times its normal size and so much inhamed
that it resembled raw beef, says the New
York World.
Melloy died In terrible agony. The doc
tors stated that death was due to rupture
of one of the large blood vessels leading into
the lungs.
Melloy made wager that he could eat IS
pounds of raw beef in 20 hours. According
to the terms of the wager, Melloy was to be
locked in a room and remain there until he
accomplished the feat. A guard was sta.
toned outside the door. Melloy emerged
from the room at the expiration of 10 hours,
aud the man who stood watch was dumb
founded to find only the bones of the beef
left. Melloy felt elated over his success and
took the party to a nearby restaurant. where
he ate three cans of salmon and two large
apple pies.
Melloy had been an extraordinary eater
for years. Two weeks ago he sucked 10
dozen eggs in 80 minutes and then ate 10
cars OF salmon In Two hours. Recently sew
eral of the young sports of the town took
him to restaurant conducted by German,

cat for 81. Meloy ordered five porterhouse
steaks and six mincc pies and devoured them

Free Advertising Abuse.

The demand for free advertising is In ex.
tent, persistence and ingenuity beyond the
belief Of any but those who have had expert
ence in the business. A man who would
never think of going into grocery store
and requesting the proprietor to donate
barrel of -four or into shoe store and telling
the owner that II he has no objection he'll
help himself to a pair Of shoes will walk
confidently into newspaper Office and pre-.
fer his request for several dollars worth of
free advertising and feel nightly offended If
refused
The solicitor Of free advertising is always
sure that the proprietor would be glad of
something to help fill up the paper" He is
Just as glad as the groceryman Is glad Of
some one TO help carry of his stock without
payment. Time and again under the guise
of news items matter is presented which is
plain advertising and if used at all should be
paid for as such.
The newspaper proprietor expects to fur
nish certain amount Of free advertising to
religious, charitable and public enterprises.
II he didn. he would be looked on as bea-
then, hard hearted, mercenary, lacking In
public spirit. His contribution is accepted
as a matter of course, and rarely Is he &C.
corded word of thanks, Sometimes he
refuses to donate as much space as the pro.
motor of some enterprise desires, and then
he is looked upon as unreasonable and dis.
obliging. The proprietor also expects and
is willing to give little free advertising to
those who run paid advertisements in his
paper. This is matter Of business courtesy
which is rarely abused. But with the horde
of solicitors for free advertising which con-
stantly besiege the newspaper Offices, with
no possible claim upon his courteses save
i the hope of getting something for nothing
the proprietor has no sympathy whatever.
The duties that the newspaper proprietor
and editor owe to the public are numerous
diverse and exacting. 1t is high time thai
the public should understand that these du-
ties do not include the sacrifice of consid
cradle amount of valuable space for the ben
eft of individuals or enterprises which Civ,
nothing in return.-NYack, On. ~ Star.
