&lt;ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That the great tower which is to be erected at the entrance to the grounds of the Paris Exposition this year will be 984 feet high -- more than three times the height of the statue of Liberty."&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That Gen. Smalls, of South Carolina, was permitted to eat in a hotel in Virginia because he was a Congressman."&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That Gen. Smalls declined to eat in the hotel saying that if he could not take his meals there as a man and a negro, he would see the proprietor hanged before he would do so as a Congressman."&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That a colored juryman was recently served in a restaurant of one of the leading hotels in Little Rock."&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
