WE ARE CRITICISED.
The "Magnifcence" of American Wealth
Spoken of.

1t is interesting to note what the En-
glish papers have to say about the dis
play at the Observation-Disclosures we'd
ding. Under the heading of "Magnif-
cence," the Spectator confesses to an in
terest nthe details Of that event. Dis
believing in equality, even rs an ideal,
it interests the Spectator to see the way
in which ''the new nobility, the men who
are coming everywhere to the surface
with more than the usual means of an
aristocracy, with all its pretensions, and
with much of its ancient hold upon the
popular imagination, betray the ancient
taste for visible magniliccnce." That pa
per finds it most curious" to observe 'the
new American method of display. We
quote as follows:
''The American Millionaire is armored
in friends and dependents; but he does
not, like the Roman noble, delight in
troops of clients, or, like the aristocracy
of the Middle Ages. cxult in regiments of
armed followers. or. like the aristocrats

The visit of DIR. Ahlwardt to our

imbued with hatred for the Israelite

pieces, on which are painted the
portraits of the reigning sovereigns
of Europe. Many Of them are copied
from photographs presented by the

accurate in every detail. The
plates, which have framework of
gold, have on the rim Of each four
medallions representing the arms
of the nation or it's ruler, or prin-
cipal events that have taken place
during his reign. Between these
medallions there are designs that
represent periods in the art devel-
ment Of each country. The portrait
of the ruler Is in the center. One of
the plates Of this remarkable set,
which is devoted to England, has
on the border the crown, the royal
