 on the Jury

Washington, April 16-Justice Gray handed down the opinion of the supreme court today in the case of Seth Carter vs. the State of Texas Carter is a negro un- der indictment in Galveston, Tex, on the charge of murdering another person Of his race. He moved to quash the indict- ment on the ground that notwithstanding one-fourth of the population was of the colored race, no members of that race were included in the panel. He asked leave to introduce testimony to this effect, but the petition was not granted, the court overrulng the motion without making any Investigation The state court of criminal appeals sustained the trial court on the ground that no evidence had been offered on the point raised
 The justice said that this was false as- sumption, inasmuch the testimony had been rendered. By this tender Carter had saved his rights under the constitution. Hence the decision was reversed and the case remanded.

 Another prospective millionaire, whose name is almost unknown to the general public is J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr. Like his father he objects to any notoriety, and his name seldom appears in the papers. While he is still less than 30 years of age, he is the manager of his fathers London office and will eventually come into a for tune that will scarcely be less than $780, 000,000 few years ago he was married to Miss Jane McGraw of Boston, and the position that he holds in London society is of the best.

BETTING MEN
Will Have to Make New Odds on Ac-
 count of Dewey

New York Special to the Cincinnati En-
 quirer..
 Admiral George Deweys candidacy for the presidential nomination has brought ante-convention betting to standstill, and those who wager on elections, not from the standpoint of individual sentiment, but purely from business standpoint, are not making any propositions of odds on any of those who have been named as likely can didates.
 Joe Vendig, who several weeks ago of- fered the proposition that if Mckinley and Bryan were the candidates he would bet S10,000 against $4,000 on McKinley's election, says that if Dewey succeeds in winning the nomination he will only offer even money, and will take the Dewey end of the bet. Vendig has been a heavy better in all na- tional and state elections, and has also handled and placed the money for some of the heaviest election betters in the coun- try.
 'I figured President Mckinley as a to l chance as against Bryan," said Johnnie Considine tonight, 'and was ready to wa ger my money at those odds, but with Ad- miral Dewey in the field things appear in a different light and shall hold off and do no betting until after the conventions. Then if Dewey is nominated shall wager my money on him, for he is the logical winner. A well-established war record is thS oliOuBcSl d CdnOlUate can carry in the field of politics, and Dewey certainly has strong one He will be the natural favorite in the betting, 1 think as things look today.'
 T do not think there will be very much betting until after the conventions" said Honest John Kelly today. "Then if Me- Kinley and Dewey make the race there will be heavy betting, at, l should judge, about evens. don't think there will be any de- cided favorite, although If Bryan should get the nomination against Mckinley it looks as though the latter would be top heavy favorite."
 Tom Ryan, a bookmaker, who Is always heavy better on election results, said this evening: If Mckinley and Dewey are the candidates there will be brisk betting on the result but it looks as though McKin ley would be the favorite, having the gov ernment machinery with him, which, of course, counts from betting mans stand point. If 1 should bet on Dewey, if he is nominated, I would look for a shade the best of the price"
