Leopold and the French decoration of the Legion
of Honor The city of Brussels struck a medal IN
his honor and a statue has been erected to his
memory in the town of his birth. The picture mem
toned in the letter of presentation the counter
part of that presented to the Museum Of Arts and
Sciences is in the Gallery OF Journal.
The subject of the painting is the lying in state
of the bodies OF Counts Egmont and Hoorn. The
story of Count Egmont's life and death has been
made famous in Goethe's tragedy, and the tragedy
has again been immortalzed by the overture of
Beethoven. In Motley's history of the Dutch Re
public the events which led to Count Egmonts eX-
ecution narrated as the prelude to the formal
outbreak of the struggle between Philip II OF
Spain and the Netherlands provinces. Counts Eg-
mont and Hoorn executed at Brussels in
June, 1868 The last honors to the dead, which
the subject of the painting, were accorded for
the purpose of intimidating the discontented Meth
erlanders, rather than from wish to show respect
to fallen foes. The Netherlanders were driven to
desperation by the rgor of Alvas action and their
long struggle with Spain may be dated from this
incident; hence the significance of the subject Of
Gallat's masterpiece
The painting shows the bodies of the noblemen
covered with pail. except hand and the severed
heads, which are set in nearly natural positions
the head of the bier. On the covering of the
bodies lies a large cross Near the head of the
bier and towering above 1t in grim armor is
Spanish guard, and beside him a soldier. Near the
foot of the bier stand in reverent postures pict
uresQue group of Flemish men, and in the back
ground, at the left, acolyte is lighting the
tapers that flank a crucifX. In commenting on the
rich and warm, the contrasts are subdued and the
grouping is mastery. The gtvers say there is small
replica in water Colors in the Walters collection at
Baltimore.

THE BRITISH BICYCLE TRADE
REASONS FOR THE BAD STATE IT Is ~ AT
PRESENT.
From The London Mail.

From The London Mail
Statistics show that the cycle trade Is going from
bad worse.
Fifty companies with aggregate capital OF near
ly f50O00 00O have disappeared altogether within the
last four and Ii is computed that the public
who unfortunately invested their money IN cycling
gold bricks" must have paid for their folly some
thing like 100000 900.
The present chaotic position Of the trade is set
forth by The Birmingham Daily Post in a rnelan-
choly array OF statistics, and the conclusion ar
rived at is that over-capitalization Is the main
cause of the disaster Over-ca pitalizatiOn' IL
pointed out. which in this connection means pre-
posterous price for fugitive or ina ginary goodwill
excessive competition and reckless. dishonest or
incompetent trading, really at the root OF the
mischief. and until the trade has purged itself OF
these maladies are afraid there can be no last
public demand.
Other causes than over-capitalization which have
contributed to the downfall have been a general
rise in the price Of materials. the diversion OF
men and money to South Africa in consequence OF
the war and an acc mutation OF bad debts.
Phenomenal dividends a thing of the past
and of the companies that have survived the wreck
age only two in the last year have been able TO pay

ham Small Arms and the Palmer Tire. neither being

ANOTHER STATEMENT IN ST. GEORGES
MR.. wAssoN's ENEMIES CHARGE HIM WITH
COLORING FACTS.

Some of the opponents of the Rev William A
Wasson, rector of St. Georges Episcopal Church,
Brooklyn, have issued another long statement in
reply TO the rector's statement IN Church Bells"
the official organ of the church. In the opening
paragraph it says:
To all right minded people the coloring distor
on Of facts to suit particular purpose is quite
bad morally plain faSehOod in a priest
of the church Yet this is what the has done
in his last statement in our parish paper
The statement then goes at length to
discuss the financial affairs which first caused the
trouble, and in closing says;
The rector's published statement that 1t is dis
main in St. Georges if opposed his administra-
tiOn and unwilling to submit to his high handed
and dicta atorial methods has reacted much against
him with all fair minded persons, and when il is
remembered that Mr.. Wasson has been with us less
than two years, and is but of the many rectors
who have in the past and who will in the years to

church, and that he is only transent-merely an
