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. The whole world shares

appreciation of your generosity by
voting with imposing unanimity tne
funds necessary to keep this temple j
l always at the very high standard to j
(which you enabled its construction to ;
raise it.
"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 '

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

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.

[ 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 ;

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.
The Library.
The library, which occupies the two '
stories to the west of the quadrangle, |
consists of a reading room, lecture
room and central office and many

Many nations bave made gifts to
the palace, one of the most interest-:
ing being that of Greece. 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. J. J "U
or in me city s sireeis, auu uuuscholds
were left desolate. All for
what? That the terror of a name
might spread, and a quickening fear
might run before them to prepare the
way of conquest and revenge. Under
the blinding brightness of a throne,
who was the individual man?to say
nothing of a woman or a child still
recent humaner enlightened centuries?
We think the eolden as:e was
when Augustus ruled, and Virgil
smot*1 nis sounding lyre?but we are
on]y now emerging into the unclouded
day cf an age when each of us
shall be all that was meant to be,
and have his own fair chance, and
receive his share, and live his own
life in the pure air of ii concent freedom.
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. In the lesser
republics of any school room
there is the ever present problem of
tVvo minil?sinelinsr

out the unit from the group, and giving
to the particular need of one
while bearing in mind the good of
the greater number. The ninety and
nine may be known for the cheerful,
normal, obvious lot they are?'but the
hundredth one may be a tortured
wanderer alone, "the sun gone
down," and the whole sweep of the
sky one impenetrable blackness, What
is even worse than being lost, in the
crowd. They are together, in the
light, the warmth, the comfort; his

tude. It must be someone's business
to go forth and look for him?and if
the searcher cannot bring the wanderer
back, he can at least destroy
the wanderer's isolation and be his
link with life and all the world.
