leged victim, but to the peculiar eir

the mystifying features which prom
ise to make the trial one long to be
remembered.'
Mr. and Mrs. Oraee earns to this
eity from Philadelphia, their former
home, about eight or ten montus ago.
According' to statements made by
Mr. Grace since th shooting, bis wife,
who is an unusually handsome and at
tractive woman, used to be one of the
numerous sirens of the Great White
Way of New York, when he became
acquainted with her a few years ago.
She fascinated himvand, after a brief
courtship, he marrieaiier and. took
her to Philadelphia, where he held
responsible position. Less than a
year ago Mr. Grace, who is well to do
and b as property interests in the
South, decided to remove to Atlanta.
where he owns some valuable real es
tate.
Grace and bis wife made a good
imDression and freely mingled in lo
cal social circles. They seemed to be
devoted to one another and nobody
ever suspected that bloody tragedy
lurked behind the all-decerving mask
of happiness. The catastrophe came
in the night of March 5. What really
occurred within the secrecy of,' the
Graces' beautiful home on West 11th
street, is still a mystery, the solution
of which, at the coming trial is await
ed with interest Beyond a general
denial of the charges made by her
husband. Mrs. Grace has volunteered
tin at it em nt that would throw any

Mr. Grace; however, has not been so
reticent.
According to his statement, made
on the day after the shooting, when
the doctors expected that his death
would be merely a question of a few
hours, Mr. Grace was in bed, asleep,
when his wife shot him. Awakened
bv the shot, he found himself power
less to move and begged his wife to

The emperor had been ill for sev

no. He succeeded to the thron on
his father's death Feb 13, 1867 but
was not crowned until Oct. 12, 1868.
He waa married forty-three years ago
to Princess Fusake, daughter of a no
ble Japanese family.
.The, period of Munsubito s reisrn
was the greatset in Japanese history.
When he eame to the throne Japan
was a hermit nation in the fullest
sense. Few Japanese were permitted
togo abroad and equally few roreign-
era were allowed in Japan, except
when like Commodore Perty, they en
tered by force of arms.
Under Mutsuhito, however, the peo
ple awoke. In a generation they
made up lost ground whichxehtern
lands were centuries in crfenni. To
day they are not only willing to hear
but insatiably greedy to acquire
all that tho Occident has to teach.
Under Mutsuhito, too, Japan was
victorious in two great wars with
China and with Russia. It annexed
Formosh and Korea and many diplo
mats believe it is now about to take
Manchuria too. It has crested an
army and navy. In short, from a
country of barbarians it hast trans
formed itself since Mutsuhito' reign
began into a power of the first class.

the constitution is an ornament rath

It is at the fashion to attribute to
the Mikado the advances the Japan
ese have made recently. Actually, he
had little to do with- government af
fairs but' has remained all hia life' a
tool in the hands of the little bbli
garchy which, nominally as a group
of more admirers, have really shaped
the destinies of Japan. Mutsuhito
was the one honored and twenty-fiwt
of his line in direct descent, as ther
Japanese are taught to believe, from

imperial consort but several of his
supplementary wives. .Of these the
