Please On Their Tickets
columbus Dispatch)

Can Democrat file Republican
petition or vice versa?
This was the question put up to
Secretary of State Graves yesterday
from Medina County and his reply
was There is absolutely no law to
prevent the Democratic electors from
Offering as their candidate any per-
son, irrespective of party afliliation." )"
II Republicans desire to place Dem
ocrats on their ticket, or If Demo
Gratis would like to name Prohibition
lists, there Is nothing to prevent their
doing so, Mr.. Graves says.
James Long has filed protest, as
serting that the name of l.. b. Gan
yard should not be placed on the bal
lot as a Democratic candidate for
county surveyor on the ground that
he is not Democrat, but a Republl-
can.
Ganyard wrote to Secretary
Graves, saying:

1892 as a Republican, but at the Re-
publican county convention in June

AMID The STRAINS
OF A Lovely Two Step An Egg Splal.
ierS On Floor OF Ball Room

In the midst OF a two.step. during
the Masonic dance Thursday evening.
an unwelcome visitor appeared on
the floor in the shape of perfectly
good hens egg which alighted amidst
the dancers with great splatter.
Momentary CONSERVATION rclgned on
that particular section of the floor,
but the amusing aspect OF the thing
soon became apparent and the occur
renee was the source OF great deal
OF laughter.
II was about $3.50 o'clock and the
orchestra WAS rendering the closing
strains OF a two-step when the hen
fruit' appeared very suddenly and
spread out over the floor at the feet
OF the dancers. An Investigation was
quickly made and, as none OF thegen-
tlemen would confess having had the
egg in his possession previous to the
occurrence, 1t was generally conced-
ed that II must have been thrown
through an open window from Gay
street by some boy with very poor
idea OF joke.

 "Cy" Young can afford to take his ease He is we'll provided with worldly goods He owns a 320-acre farm at Peoli, Ohio. where he has always lived during the off season. He is the pride of his county and community. They say out there that he is the best farmer in Ohio. So no one need worry about his future
 Young is living monument of the benefit of a clean life combined with physical development. He was always hard worker on his farm and on the diamond. Early in life he cut out beer and liquor drinking. He never smoked. The last several years. when his great arm began to wane. he occasionally used brandy as a Stimulant toward the end Of hard-fought contests. Also in the past ten years he chewed to- bacco moderately, That habit he passed up two years ago.

 He then commented on the cure, adding:
 His contention that cancer could be cured without the knife has been supported by the testimony of eminent witnesses who have had experiences in cancer cases.n
 Dr. Bell. who is fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons since 1872, advocated in 1870 an improved method of treat ing diphtheria, which was approved by the profession. He also origin nted method of treating smallpox, which helped to do away with the secondary fever and was among ths first to advocate the open air treat ment for censumptioa:

LONDON, June 15. - The jury in the libel action brought by Dr. Bell, of Mayfield, against pr. F.. F. Bass ford and the British Medical associa- tiOn awarded $l0,ooo damages to the plaintiff yesterday. An appeal and stay of execution was granted
 Summing up, Lord Justice Aver. stone said:

 fit Is plain that persons are eager to avoid cancer eperattens, Several London hospitals are now treating the dread disease by diet and medi- cine.

Can you pour < liquid from a glass tumbler into a bottle without spiling most of the contents of the tumbler down the sides of the bot tie? Here's how to do it easily: The end of 8 straight stick or glass rod is inserted in ths open ing through which the liquid is to be poured and the edge of the tumbler or cup is simply held against the rod and the liquid al lowed to trickle down 1t into what ever is to be filled. Not a single drop will go outside It is neces- sary t0 pour slowly, but the fact remains the trick can be done and the hands saved from being smear ed with oil or other such liquid.

NEW YORK. June | Denton Tecumseh Young has passed from baseball's activities.
 The grand old man of the game, after twenty-three years in the har- ness. has decided to Capitulate to the inevitable. The grip of Time has manacled an arm of iron that for almost quarter of century proved the greatest stumbling block ever thrown into the middle of diamond.
 "Cy" Young passes out of the na- tional pastime. but his name will live as long as the great summer sport flourishcs.
 This honored veteran. who has passed the forty-eighth milestone of liie's journey. has decided that he has outlived his days of major league usefulness He notified the Bos- ton Nationals that it Was lmpossi- ble for him 10 round in to winning 10TH sore arm. NNlCn dlllltdleu him this spring for the first time in his brilliant career. failed to re- spond
 Rather than besmirch the most wonderful pitching record of all his tory. Cy Young decided to retire 10 his Ohio farm to spend the rest of his days tiling the soil No minor league ball could satisfy spirit that had triumphed for almost twen- ty-three years in the fastest com pany.
 There is nothing tragic in the passing of "Cy." He lived. both on and off the field a life of which the best might be proud. One of the most unassuming characters that ever graced the diamond. he always set d perfect example to both teammates and associates. As veteran he was always free with good advice to the youngsters. and many star pitcher of recent years owes much of his success to the wisdom of the retired star.

 In point of effectiveness and term of usefulness it is doubtful if Ioung's remarkable record will ever be approached. In the twenty-two seasons of his eXperience-he did not appear in the box this year for the Hub team-Cy Young undoubt- ediy worked in more than 1000 games. He is officially credited with S22. of which he won 509 and lost 3l3 Two hundred games is very conservative effort for those pastimes in which he helped, with out being credited either with vic tory or defeat, in the twenty-two years of his activities.
 Last June Young made his 1911 debut at Washington, and clinched his 500th victory He was a mem Der of the Cleveland club at the time, but later in the year was un- conditionally released. Boston pick ed him up and he celebrated his re- entry into the National league, af- ter an absence of ten years. by blanking the hard-hitting Pirates. The night tha, Young won his 500th victory year ago Christy Mathew son exclaimed in admiration:
 Young is the greatest pitcher that ever lived. If only l can ever last to win 300 games I'll be willing to lie right down after the battle and die happy"
 George Moreland, then manager of Canton, in the O. and P. league, discovered "Cy" in 1890. Young pitched against his club and showed lot of class.
 That boy of yours should be playing ball." said George to the elder Young after the game. He ought to be getting $50 month" This information almost knocked the old man dead. Will you give him that?" he finally managed to ask Denton T. was engaged on the spot. That day marked the end of the rail-splitting career of the Tuscawarus county youth.
 When Young was uniformed he presented grotesque appearance. His shirt was much too small for his barrel-like chest and his collar wouldn't button by an inch and a half. The White Stockings, led by Captain Anson, were Cleyeland's guests and the laugh that broke out at "Cy's" appearance was loud and derisive. But when Young breezed home on the chin strap an easy victor there were ten thousand cheers for every previous jeer. He held the hard-hitting Sox to widely scattered hits, had famed three of their best batters in row, includ-
