Emperor After a reign OF
nearly half a century Dom

ed by an attempt to assassi-
nate his Majesty. The event
has caused the greatest com.
motion throughout the empire,
inasmuch as no act Of the gov
ernment or private action OF
the monarch could warran,
such an outrage. 1t seems a
strange thing that the man
who has tacitly abolished the
penalty of death in his empire
for Dom Pedro always has
refused to sign a death war.
ranD should have been con.
demned, even by malcontents,
to a violent death. The gen.
eral feeling is one Of genuine
Indignation and sorrow. Ap.

done in a moment of drunken
bravado, (and this is Dom Pc.

man deliberately, face to face

$3.50 a carload, and it will

GOV. Zee and the Race Question.

Gov. Lee in an interview with newspa-
per reporter yesterday 10 references to the
race question said:
The more SCI of the North the more
am convinced that the Southern people are
the best friends the negroes have. l heard
and saw enough the other day to conyiace
any one that the Northern people care little
for the negro race The very people who
are disposed to grow sentimental about the
blacks add who are really fanaticsl on the
subject, have nothing whatever to do with
them
'Tbe papers that distort my utterances on
the race question make il appear that l am
hostile 10 the negro racs, whereas, am par
ticularly friendly, and tho negroes them
selves admit that | have done more for them
in my otficiai capacity than any other Gov.
ernor of Virginia ever did. But for some
wise purpose God made the races distinct
the negro race inferior to the white race
and the races must ever remain distinct.
The white race ought to, and will ever dom
mate

Lace DrPSSRS

Lace dresses described by Harper's Bazar
are of Chantilly net with or without seal
lops, in vine, arabesque and leaf patterns and
stripes. A great deal Of jet galloon is used
upon these dresses, sometimes in wide dag
onal rows across the front of the gathered
bodice while others have jet leaf stripes set in
rows down the front of the bodice and of the
skirt. Gold ribbon-metal ribbon like gold
cloths on other lace gowns, and many gal
looms of mixed gold cord and jet beads
Moire ribbon is as fashionable as last year for
trimming, and the economical reader will
find that she need not alter well made lace
gown of last summer.
The gathered bodice, full sleeves, and
draped skirts still prevail, though there ara
novelties as well, such as deeply draped lace
aprons plated IN front and curving w. each
side to meet quite short in the back below the
waist line. There are also alternate breadths
Of Chantilly net and of plain Brussels net, the
latter crossed by many rows of milliners'
folds made OF black gros grain; a narrow
lace flounce edges each breadth at the foot
and hangs separate from the foundation
skirt OF faille, Of peau de sole or of MORE.

much opposition. 1t was prophesied that
such structure must fall by its own weight
nearly 10000, 600 pounds, that 1t could not
resist the pressure of heavy wind storms and,
finally, that if it proved stable the great mass
of iron would magnetic everything in Paris
N. Eiffel met all these objections by going
ahead and building his tower, which is pro-
nounced perfectly safe, and visitors 10 this
feature Of the exposition need not fear to
make the ascent No one can fall out of the
elevators or Off the stairways, and every part
of the structure is protected from lightning.
To give some conception Of this tremendous
structure, 1000 feet in height and dwarting
everything around it into absolute insignii-
canoe, Golden Days, from which the cutsE
reproduced, describes it as follows:
The Seine, at its base, looks like very small
gutter along footpath, the gilt dome of the
1nvalides resembles a pin cushion, and the
Trocadero, opposite, is only visible because il
stands on a hill This wonderful tower is of
cast iron, of pyramidal form, and the ex-
IRENE height is 1000 fest. 1t rests on four
pillars, which are 322 feet apart, and the arch
has height of 161 feet
The first story is 1872 feet from the ground,
and has a gallery IS feet wide where cafes,
restaurants and waiting rooms have been
fitted up. The second story is $50 feet from
the ground, and there is another gallery, sc
feet wide. From this point the tower mar
rows more rapidly, and runs up to what looks
like small point from the ground below;
but there is room enough in the balcony and
cupola for hundreds of people to stand and
look, not only all over Paris, but for a dis
lance of ninety miles in any direction. Access
to the first gallery is had by four elevators
From this landing the visitor may either &c
the top Of the tower by the elevators or walk
up by one of the four stairways.
