Hungary's Millennial

From many points of view one of the
most remarkable celebrations in history
is to take place next year, when the
kingdom of Hungary will observe its
millennium as state For l 1000 years
the brave Magyars have maintained
their national existence, and they have
accomplished feats Of which any nation
might be proud. "The millennial cele-
bration, says the Buffalo Commercial,
"is to last through the entire year, be-
ginning on Jan. /, 1896, and ending
only on the following Dec. 81. 1t will
be divided into three parts, each COM
memorating an epoch in the history of
the country. The celebration will open
with session of the two houses of par
lament in the new hall at Budapest,
which is about completed at cost of
10000, 900 forms.
next will come the opening of the
Pantheon in the capital city, when hun
dreds of busts and statues of the nation
al heroes and eminent men and women
of the last thousand years will be placed
in Hungary S valhalla. This will be fol
lowed by the inauguration of the new
Museum of Art and History, built at a
cost of 100000 forms, the laying of
the cornerstones of two new bridges to
span the Danube at Budapest and the
dedication of three other great public
buildings, the Palace of Justice, the Ex-
hibition hall and the Museum of Arts
tic Handiwork. Still further to indi-
cate the beginning Of new era, in the
spring two sections of the older part of
the city will be remodeled on hygienic
principles, and 500 new public schools
throughout the country will be opened :"
