n PALACE OF PEACE AT PEACE CENTRE I FINE BUILDING DEDICATED AT THE HAGUE. Prominent Persons Gather at Cere monies in Carnegie s Gift to tiie rjf World. The Hague, Aug. 28.?The Palace of Peace was dedicated here this af- j ternoon. The ceremony of handing j i the edifice over to the Dutch foreign minister was carried out in the great j ijpL court in the presence of Queen Wil- j ihpimina. Dowaeer Queen Emma, and ; |H Prince Consort Henry. These were' surrounded toy a distinguished gath- j B ering of diplomatic representatives, | wf of peace societies and persons prominent in arts and science. Abraham Van Karnebeck, resident of the CarW negie foundation, with a brief speech I handed the palace into the care of its appointed custodians. He eulogized f the generosity of Andrew Carnegie. Jonkheer Reneke Van Swinderen, retiring Dutch minister of foreign j ' x1 ^ A ^ affairs, accepted me tusiuu; Ui : building on benalf of the diplomatic ; B corps, in which its ownership is vest- J ed under the presidency of the Dutch 1 foreign ministry. He referred to the j opening of the paiace as an "import- j ant page which has been added to W the history of arbitration.'' He paid ! ft tribute to the late Melville W. Fuller, j the T'rntpii i iormer tmei juauv-c m^ K States supreme court. Then, turning to Mr. Carnegie, who was standing j beside him, he said: Happiest of All. B "Mr. Carnegie, there is no doubt; WF I should think that you today are the happiest among us, seeing in these & surroundings the transformation of A your beautiful, high spirited munifiB cence tribunals. In the name of the V civilized powers of the world, I adB dress you.

"Will the edifice live up to its high sounding name? "No, not if that name is taken to imply that its bell will shortly ring in 4. e inauguration of 'eternal peace' ?v >vo words which are always out of place except when they are inscribed j over che entrance gate of a cemetery.; Yes, if expectations do not attempt j a flight beyond the borders of what is humanity possible of realization." Abraham Van Karnebeek expressed his earnest opposition to the sug* gestion of the formation of an inter- ; national police to enforce arbitration j He said: TM.vaim DwinAlnlAo mvuiu x in paii injuvipio* S "It would impair the principles ot Lt State sovereignty as well as the maintenance of peace. We should al- : so discard the idea of an arbitration I tribunal in permanent session, thus j forming a court of world government. : B Before a body this description can be \ established a confederation of the ' civilized world will be necessary." Vr Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie were both W presented to Queen Wilhelmina, who j decorated Mr. Carnegie with the i 1 grand cross of the order of Orange Nassau. r Gift of Carnegie. The Palace cf Peace is the gift of l Andrew Carnegie, who, in 1903, placed at the disposal of the Dutch > government the sum of $1,500,000 for the purpose, as expressed in his offer, "of erecting and maintaining at The Hague a court house and library j for the permanent court of arbitra- j V\-r- froifv rtf tho ' tiUi-i eSUXUllSilCU UJ IUC utai; v*. i K 29th of July, 1899." Br To provide a site for this, the first j structure ever erected for such a B^Lpurpose, the Dutch government apJHPpropriated 3275,000. The site selected is in a section of wooded and hilly i park stretching from The Hague to Scheveningen, and the cornerstone T-.1? OA 1flA7 twas laiu <jui) ou, ijui. A world-wide competition for plans and designs for the Peace Palace was ; established and the first prize was awarded to M. Cordonniere, a Brussels architect. The building as com- : pleted, however, does not represent the original plans, the Carnegie com- i mittee having reserved the right to . modify all designs. With Mr. Cordonnier's plans for a foundation, Mr. van de Steur was appointed to carry | out the modified design and remained in direct control of this work until | the completion of the building. pwy l He Jfaiace 01 react; a.s cumpictcu [ does not represent any precise style '% of architecture, but it is regarded by i architects as one of the most fmBfpressive of modern buildings to be V seen in Europe. Rectangular in shape, it forms roughly a square of 85 yards to 86 yards, and encloses ; a beautiful formal garden. Op. three j sides the building constitutes the court house, and on the fourth or j west side are the quarters of the li- j I brary. The facade of the second 1 floor is adorned with statues, the fig- j ures representing science, agriculture, art, navigation, commerce, indstry, conscience, eloquence, will-' force, study, authority, humanity, constancy and wisdom. The main windows of the great1 court are guarded by statues of Jus-; tice and Law, and over the central ? i gable above the main entrance stands ; a figure of Peace, her hands resting I on the hilt of a sheathed sword, ! around which are swathed scrolls. Just below, over the corridor, stand two lions. Four Men Included. The statuary, however, is not con-; fined to the symbolic. Four men have j been hcrored by busts. These are | Hugo Grotius, who has been called the pioneer of international law; King Edward the seventh, Sir Ran- j dall Cremer and William T. Stead. | the English writer and peace leader ; * i_ i - mi 1 I wno pensnea in me manic. iue uusi of Oremer was the gift of the Inter-! national Arbitration league. WitTain all that modern art and j skill could do to symbolze the pur- j pose of the palace has been devoted j to the decoration. The grand marble staircase which forms the main en- I trance is illuminated from a group of stained-glass windows, showing i Peace shedding rays of light on Art | ard Science, Land and Sea, Com- \ merce and Industry, While to the left! ' and riscbt are other stained-glass win-1 dows depicting the ancient horrors of ! war, -;nd above then the companion i panels of terror and deatlh. The great court is an imposing hall i about 74 feet long by about 40 feet in j width and rising to the full height of 1 the palace. It will accommodate; about 300 persons. At the rear, fac- j ing the bench or presiding officer's j stand, is an enormous arched stain- | ed-glass window. To one side of it is | a draped figure of Justice bearing a ! sword, and to the other Truth sur- i veying her nakedness in a mirror. ! i Over the throne is a huge oil painting a gift of France. To the left of the great hall are the arched galleries for the use of the public. The walls are paneled with oak a .(! the ceiling is of embossed oak in wonderful designs. In addition to the great hall of jus-1 tice and the library are numerous | apartments for the judges, hung with j tapestries of the old Dutcn styie,; rooms for counsel and many parlors. One of the most imposing of all the chambers is tlaat assigned to the administrative council, which is com-! posed of all the foreign ministers' | credentials to The Hague. This wonderful room is paneled with Japanese ' cartoons and embroidered silks, j There are the rooms also for the! president of the court, the secretary general and his assistant, and numer- j ous handsome reception rooms, all adorned with oil paintings and ornamented with carvings in rare woods, j Ariartments also have been set i aside for the press and a complete system of vaults and steeMockers for i the preservation of tfte records of the | important congresses which will be ; held in the palace.

It is a white marble copy of tihe famous throne found at Knossos, in Crete, which|! was supposed to nave been the throne of King Minos. The building materials of the peace 1 no 1 o oo r>a mo frrim mnnv PniintriPtR The brick, which is the chief compo- I nent, came from the famous fields | near Leyden, while the hard white sandstone used for trimming is from : French quarries, and the wood used for flooring and paneling is largely | from Austria. The granite consti- ; tuting the base of the walls was presented by the governments of Nor-! way and Sweden. The Italian gov- ; ernment presented the marble which decorates the interior of the corri-1 dors, and the grand marble staircase i is a gift from the city of The Hague. The stained glass windows are the j gifts of the Dutch government and ! Great Britian; while France has sent1 not only the great painting which is t5he most striking decoration of the j great hall, but manj of the tapestries and minor decorations. There are j vases of precious materials from J Russia, Hungary and Austria, and ! groups of statuary in marble and j bronze which ornament the first I landing of the great staircase are the . gift of the United States. The beauti-1 fill rosewood and satinwood paneling of the administrative council chamber came from Brazil, and there are gifts of silk cartoons and vases from China and Japan. Rare woods from j San Salvador are used to line many of the chambers. Turkey's gift is a wonderful carpet which as one writer has said, is a gift symbolic of 'his fate, to be trodden under foot of man." The clock in the great tower is Switzerland's tribute, and the beautiful wrought iron grill work of the main entrance was presented by Belgium. The gift of Germany is the great front entrance to the ground, consistinf of walls and handsome wrought iron gat?. LOST I> THE CKOWDS. Sot So Bad as Being Lost Out of the Crowd. It is a familiar sensation, that of being one among or against so many. It is hard to walk in a thronged street and escape it. The railway train, filled with people going to divided duties, to various destinations and destinies; the tense, impatient, "bleachers" at baseball game; the congregation seated in a church, the audience at a play?all these suggest our infinite personal incoiiseqence. Where is there room on earth for the homes and the labors of so many? "Rrvw thpv all pvtrnrt a living'9 Why should it make any difference who breaks a leg or a neck, when there are so many able-bodied substitutes constantly pressing forward? The ferry-boat, the excursion steamer, the trolley car of homeward returning' toilers, the esplanade of loiterers and merry-makers, all promote the reflection that there are "multitudes, in the valley of decision,'' and our own little personal unit seems as small as these minute sub-divisions into which the philosophy of chemistry is cutting i+p the atom. Why were we brought on earth to be so insignificant? If we shouli fail by the wayside, who would notice? Who cares if we live or die, if we are lost or found, if we breathe or stifle, if we suffer or rejoice? The emphatic difference between barbarism and civilization is that between the callous neglect and the tocrtrlor nnrtiiria nf thp individual Kings of Ashantee or Dahomey, chiefs of aborignal America, princes and satraps of the era of Ghengis Kahn, cared nothing for one little life sniffed out, one voice forever silenced, one body bleaching on the plains, prey of tae vulture or the carrion crow. They grimly took the side of the inexorable law of the survival of the fittest; their gross and brutal justice knew no tempering of mercy; choosers of the slain, they gave the word and the blood ran in lone frontier settlements xl- _ _ J.

That the terror of a name might spread, and a quickening fear might run before them to prepare the way of conquest and revenge.

In Matthew Arnold's great poem, "Rugby Chapel," it is told where and what was the secret of the power of the life of the poet's father, "Arnold of Rugby." The meaning of that life of a man among boys was that he did not care merely for the working out of his own salvation, the earning of his selfish personal passage to Paradise. He did not care to voyage thither unaccompanied?he wanted to bring his whole flock with him. That should be true it seems, of any worth shephard of the sheep, of any faithful curacy of human souls. It must be true of any reasonable and conscientious ruler devoutly considerate of his duty to all the people. "What touched the heart of Lincoln when he faced a crowd was not his own exaltation, bui their weed. The sense of the popular dependence on him all but overwhelmed him. He was great because he divined their thoughts, interpreted their wishes, studied their minds, and made their hopes and fears his own.
