The accompanying 1 illustration shows withwhat appropriate simplicity Mr. Millet hasdramatized this patriotic demonstration. Iliafigures are grouped necessarily w^h a certainorderliness, and at the same time with a nat-uralness of attitude and gesture heightening thetension of th<- effect. In his treatment of thafaces ho has been especially successful, practi-cally every on'- of the actors In the scene hay-Ing Individuality. The central figure Is sup-ported not by colorless supernumeraries but i>y

men of like Importance with himself In a crit-ical phase of our political development. The

color scheme Is admirably restrained. Againstthe background provided by the tawny wains-col and grey wall, the costumes discreetly as-sert themselves in sober tones of brown, green,

russet, red, slate and yellow. The design hasvitality and in execution it is the broadest and

most elastic niece of work Mr. Millet has pro-

duced.

Mr. F. J). Millet's Picture of an

Event in Old New Jersey.Inthe art gallery of the Century Club there is

on exhibition just now a very interesting decor-ation, painted by Mr. F. D. Millet, for the EssexCounty Court House at Newark. The subject

is drawn Cront the history of New Jersey, and itpossesses a human and dramatic character\u25a0which by Itself makes a strong appeal Mr.Mil-Jot hns well brought out this side of his theme.Hi.s work is executed wUh sympathy and energy.

11.- describes in a leaflet the way In which it

0.-m:«- about that the scene he portrays was en-acted in 1774.

In that year tho last Provincial Chief Juptiee

of Now Jersey, Frederick Smyth, bad occasionin charging the pram! jury t'.- touch upon the

troubled state of the times, and he observed thatthere wns less to be feared from 'tho imaginarytyranny, three thousand miles distant," thanfrom the "real tyranny at our own doors." The

members of the Grand Jury resented these on-senratlons and th-ir foreman replied to them in

a speech bo Interesting th;it we must reproduceit from Mr. Millet's leaflet:

MONUMENT TO JEFFERSON DAVIS.Montgomery, Ala., Aug. B.—Tho final art of the

Alabama Legislature, which adjourned last night,

was to authorize a monument to Jefferson Davis,

Brat and only President of the Confederacy. It

willstand within a few feet of the place where he

received the oath of office and Just In front of tlio

sion finds that ItIs no longer possible to make both

Bsxli«F. which formed part of the gift of Robertthe Brace to the three sons of the old woman in

rien the pertinacious spider encouraged him to=sic a third and successful bid for the Scottish•rswii. Another of the earl's estates now offered*rsale is Baldoon. which in 1«59 was the scene of

it? vrtiri and mysterious tragedy that foroij thethene of Sir Walter Scott's true story, entitledTie Bride of Lananermoor."

Lord Galloway, who Is a Crimean veteran, hav-fa; taken purl In that war as a subaltern of theBlack Watcn. and -who also fen-ed throughout the\u25a0May, has occasionally indulged in Journalism.wielding& F-rewhat vitriolic pen. and prides him-•tlf en coming from the cam« stock an the ancientToy*] house of Stuart, though he spells his patro-=^a!c differently. Lord Gallomay Is descendedfrom Sir John Stewart, younger brother of James.

fifthLord BBgn Steward of Scotland, and ancestor«ad founder o? th* royal house of Stuart. TheItaly cf Lord Galloway has always insist, onretaining the old spelling of the patronymic, andthe late earl, brother of th* present peer, evenwwt co far a« to refuse to subscribe to a charityTilch be- printed his patronymic as "Stuart."

Th* late «&rlwas or.c of the most eccentric mem-bers of th« rw^rage. and his death was something

sister of th« late Lord Salisbury. She Fhared many

"tier peculiarities he made a point of always wear-iap thick knitted white gloves, winter and Fura-"*r,as .<\u25a0\u25a0 as large Hue goggles. Added to this.*»»«•• a high white hat. his clothes were shabby«a« his --. extremely high pitched.

Biggest Week for Tribune Fund a

Drain on Its Treasury.

The expenses of the present week are going to

be a big drain on the treasury of the Tribune

Fresh Air Fund, and willleave it in such a state

that unless more money is provided there will

have to be a let-up in the work long before theneeds of the children are satisfied. Over eleven

hundred children will have gone away this weekby Saturday afternoon. Ifexpectations are realized.With almost as many children returning to thecity, over two thousand railroad tickets will have

been used.The bill for a single party, containing less than

one-seventh of the children going out last Tuesday,

was over $SuO. Unless more funds are provided

it now looks as ifbetween 4.000 and 5.000 childrenwho ought to go away will be disappointed.

One man has sent a check for $lw to the TribuneFresh Air Fund in honor of the birthday of hismother. If more birthdays were honored in thisway it would bring joy to countless hearts inNew York City. Three dollars and fifty cents willpay the carfare of one child to almost any point

to "which the Fresh Air Fund sends children. rivedollars will keep a child at one of the Tribune

Fresh Air homes for two weekSome little girls at Pawling, K. V.. have carried

out a 6cheme which seems popular among thelittle people who wish to help some Of their lessfortunate brothers and sisters. They held a fairon the Dutchess golf links, at which they sold $20

worth of candy and fancy artlclts.The gratitude of the poor children for what 13

done for them is shown by countless letters re-<-. lied from them In the office. Here is an extractfrom one:

"My stater and Iore very thankful to all for thefun and the good Steals we had, and we wish wecould go again. We pay what a good and kindman you are to all the poor children that nevercould see the country without you."

The children at St. Helen's Home, Ir.terlaken,observed "children's day" on August 4. The pro-gramme consisted of twenty-five numbers, madeup of songs and recitations by the guest? at thehome.

his being a Frenchman to tho oore, an intimatefriend of old Emperor \u25a0William, and of his con-sort. Empress Augusta, and persona Rratissima attheir court. A prand seigneur of the old school,he was so perfect a gentleman and of honor sounquestioned that no one in Prussia ever sug-gested that he should renounce his French na-tionality, and although he was accustomed tospend half the year in Germany and the otherhalf in France, no one ever dreamed of suspect-Ing his loyalty to cither country, nor was it heldthat there was anything incompatible with hisbeing a Prussian Duke, a member of the PrussianHouse of Lords, and the owner of a Germanprincipality and at one and the fame tim« a F"rcnchcitizen and a ureat territorial mapnata of France.

When he died the conditions were altered, forhis eldest son. the present Duke Eoson of Talley-rand. Perigord, Valencay !and Sag.in, was a debtridden, incurable imbecile, under restraint as such,

while his eldest son. who as such enjoys thePrussian title of Prince of Basjaß, is a formerFrench officer of stormy antecedents, and to suchan extent financially embarrassed as to render Itimpossible for any one to regard him as a freeagent. For a time Emperor William and his gov-

ernment hesitated about exercising his sovereignrights as King of Prussia and of resuming pos-

session of the fief. But ultimately he appointed

Count Georire Kanitz. a son-in-law of the lateDuke of Talleyrand and of Bagan, to take charge

of the Sagan property in behalf of his imbecilebrother-in-law, and on Count Kanitz declining to

act any longer I*rin=e Herman Hatzfeldt, Puke ofTrachenberg. another kinsman of the Talleyrands,

was appointed in his stead.While the property of Sapran has been adminis-

tered by these two noblemen with the utmost enreand advantage, the affairs of the imbecile Duke

and of his eldest son, the Prince of Began, inFrance, have gone on from bad to worse. -espe-

cially Bteee the death of the late Duchess, a year

or so ago. Prince Hatzfeldt. the curator of theSagan estates, has very rightly declined to blo-dthe tenantry and population of the Prussian prin-cipality of Bagan for the benefit of a pack of for-eign creditors, composed for the most part ofusurers, and that is why the latter have now se-cured from the German courts a Judicial levy onthe Sagan property.

\u0084..,,,

The result of It will be that Emperor William\u25a0will now put into execution the step which he con-templated at the death of the late duke to18% and

will deprive the French Talleyrands of the flef of

Sacan. restoring it to the Prussian crown, possibly

with a view to Us bestowal on one of his Prussiannobles. For Sasran comprises not only villages, but

even towns InWestern Prussia, and the Kaiser can-not afford to have aliens in whom he has no con-fidence owning and controlling large tracts of ter-ritory so near the frontiers, who misrht naturally

become a source of danger, not merely in war, but

even In time of peace, to the defences of th* father-

land It is by no means unlikely that he may

bestow the fief on the Due de Dino's younger

brother. Count Archibald <!•\u25a0 Talleyrand-Perlßora.

LIBERALS CREATE KANT PEERAGES.Although Sir Henry CampbeO-Bannerman ha*

been only eighteen months in office and was electedon a platform that was committed to a reduction

of the House of Lords and to a curtailment of its

powers and prerogative?, it looks as though he weredestined to distance all li!- predecessors as Premier

in the number of peerages which be has nominatedto the Crown, and for the cremation of which his

cabinet la responsible. There are considerably morethan a score of them that owe their existence to

his presentation, and If be remains another fiveyears in possession of the post of Prime Minister

and continues at the present rate, there will be

about a hundred new peerages to commemorate his

anti-House of Lords administration.It must thoroughly be understood that a peerage

cannot be created without the consent of the'Premier or of a minister responsible to Parliament;

while on the other hand the King is virtually

forced by the spirit ifnot by the actual letter ofthe constitution to bestow peerages on all those

nominated for the honor by the Cabinet.Th*> Salisbury-Balfour administration, during Its

ten years of office from UK to December, UK,nom-inated sixty peers, that is to say. at the rate of six

a year. Lord BeaconsOeld during his .---'x years ofPremiership, from 1*74 to l«0, added only twenty

DMT names to the roster of peers, that is to say.

about three a year. Mr. Gladstone, between 1880and MB. added nineteen new members to the Houseof Lords, that is to Bay. four a year. From this it

willbe seen that Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman

bids fair to beat all records.Nearly threescore new peerages have been created

since the accession of King Edward, though in afew cases It is only fair to nd.l that the peerages

were conferred upon nobles already possessing

Beats in the House of Lords, constituting merely

a promotion. During the last lifty years 213 peer-ages have been created, the House of Lords con-sisting of a little over «X» members. Of these two

hundred and odd peerages, forming a third of the

upper house Of Parliament, which have been

created within the last half century, thirty-four

have gone to lawyers, eight to the army, one to thenavy and six to science, letters and art. represented

Mrs. Russell Sage has contributed $50,000 tow-ard the erection of a Young Men's Christian As-sociation building in Long Island City for the useof the employes of the Long Island Railroad. Theannouncement was made yesterday at both theLong Island Railroad offices and the present Rail-road Young Men's Christian Association buildinginBorden avenue. The money is immediately avail-able, and an architect is already engaged to drawplans for the structure. The new building is tobe ready for occupancy within a year.

The present Railroad Young Men's Christian As-sociation building fronts in Borden avenue. It isof brick, four stories high, with a frontage oftwenty feet. Immediately adjoining this buildingis a plot of vacant ground 40 by 100 feet, extend-ing to West and Borden avenues. This vacantproperty, together with the present Young Men'sChristian Association building, belong to the Long

Island Railroad, which has entered into an agree-ment with Mrs. Sage's counsel, Robert W. De For-est, whereby tho railroad will set aside this en-tire plot of land as a permanent home for theRailroad Young Men's Christian Association. By

combining the present structure with the newbuilding, the association will have a building witha frontage of 60 feet in Borden avenue by 100 feetin depth.

Between 3.000 and 4.000 railroad men and othersliving and doing business in Long Island City at

present aval] themselves Of the accommodationsof the old Young Men's Christian Association,

which is continually overcrowded. With the newbuilding It is estimated that fully ten thousandpatrons can be accommodated. This new building

is to embrace all the modern features of a mod-ern Young Men's Christian Association.

In making this gift Mrs. Sage let it bo under-stood that it was In the nature of a personal trib-ute to the railroad men, many of whom she knows

personally. During the life of her husband shespent every season at her country home at Law-

rence, and in her trips back and forth she becameacquainted with many of the conductors, brake-mi d and others.
