Circuit Judge Green In a murder trial at *

reud disqualified a person from Bluing on a F
,, Jury, It is the first time the question hus d
been ruined we believe. Section 225 of the fc
criminal code provided: "The court shall, on
motion of either party, and before argument 1
to the Jury, instruct the Jury on the law apr '1
i, plicable to the case, which shall always be }
i, given In writing," Congressman Dlckerson t
made the point thut each juryman should be

Arc Yon <>olti[; to the World's Fair?
If so, Keel hat your ticket rends vln Cincinnati
and the C. H. & D. and Monon?the acknowledged
"World's Fair Iloute."
The only line out of Cincinnati connecting
with the E. T. V. A ?. and Q,, and C. train No. j
2, arriving Clnclnnxtl 10:.'i0 p rn. A solid train
carrying through sleepers trom Jacksonville,
Savannah, Birmingham, Atlanta. Chattanooga,
Macon and New Orleans via E. T. V. & G.,
Q. & C., C. H. & D. and Monon Route to Chicago.
You can stop over in Cincinnati If your
ticket reads via the C. H. <fc D. and Monon
Route, by depositing same with the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' Association,
Chamber of Commerce Building, corner of
Fourth and Vine Streets,one blocs from Fountain
Square (the C. H. & D. ticket office Is In
the same building). This enable you to visit
the picturesque "Queen City" at no additional
cost, and special efforts will be made to entertain
strangers hospitably and reasonably.
The universal verdlctof the traveling public
Is that the Pullman Salety Vestlbuled
train, running every day. "and Sunday too,"
via the C. U. <!e D. aud Monon, between Cincinnati,
Indianapolis and Chicago, are without
doubt the "finest on earth." Tbese trains
weneespecially built by the Pullman Company
for this service, and embrace every improvement.
Their magnificent coaches, luxurious
smoking cars, superb sleepers, observation
cars, compartment sleeping cars and J
unexcelled dining car service, afford "all the
comforts of home." >
Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the
beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-flve
miles the double tracks run through the very
front door yards of the finest suburban homes
In the country. Beyond Hamilton and up to
Indianapolis, the line Is noted for Its scenic
beauty. |
A stop over at Iudlanapolis, the capital of
Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your
ticket with the Secretary of the Commercial
Club. This city Is more worthy of a visit
than nlmost any'other of Its size in the West,
and offers the greatest Inducements to travel- ,
ler and~tourl&t. Between Indianapolis and
Chicago the Hue traverses the very best agricultural
and commercial territory, and the
ride Is one of unparalled com fort and beauty.
Bear in mind that the C. H.& D. and Monon
Route trains all run via Burside Crossing,
from which point the Illinois Central subur- ,
ban trains run direct to the World's Fair
Grounds every moment. At Engiewood connection
is made with the electric cars, which ,
tun every five minutes to the grounds, but we
recommend all persons to go directly Into the
Dearborn Station, which is located In the
heart of the city and from which all street
car lines converge, then go directly by car or
cab to your hotel or boarding place. First locate
yourself; know where and how you are
to live while la Chicago. Get the locality firmly
fixed In your mind, before going to the
world's Fair by any of the numerous convenient
ways; the cable cars, electric roads, elevated
railroad, Illinois Central K. R? suburban
trains and the steamboats afford ample accommodations
for all possible visitors, and it
is but five minutes ride from the business
portion of the city to the grounds. Take your
break fast down town, buy your luncb at the
frounds, and tak6 your supper down town,
f you follow these suggestions you will save
money. The facillitles for serving lunch at
the World's Fair Grounds are extraordinary
and the prices are cheaper than at your own
home, but breakfast and supper should be .
taken down town, or at your boarding house.
