DIR. BARTEN'S. ADDRESS.
Dr.. Barten spoke as follows:
Some time ago received the invita-
tlon 10 speak at one OF these meetings
anu to address YOU on the subject Of art.
when accepting It was my first intention
10 give you mere general ideas and en-
other words, to lay before your ewes
some giitterinE generalities III connec-
tlon with the subject. But when began
to think OF what ! could say, the hori-
zor SO widened before me and its sacred
ness so impressed me, that it seemed
Ike sncrileEe TO make light Of such q
subject. and / concluded TO jot down
some thoughts in keeping with it. This
| have done and now bespeak your kind
attention and your charitable judgement
OF my feeble attempt. How wide the
horizon; how measurelesS and comnlc-
hensive is this subtle deeply myst crious
thing which SO glibly we speak or as art.
ART DEFINED.
s,"tl,at, What is art? It Is not casy to
SiVe a clear and satisfactory definition
the idea which 1t conveys is too wide
and far-reachins to delnente in one
brief saying-and yet we should always
Try to get Il clear idea OF q subject be-
fore we begin to enlarge upon It, The
dictionary definitions arc singularly poor
and unsatisfactory We must go else
where for a more telling and sltisfac-
tory clucidation. Art is the very oppo-
site OF nature, and yet it is insepnrnbly
connected with 1t. 1t is the confession
or something within lis. The ideal con-
ceptlon OF the. soul, the first condition Of
man. is condition of infancy, the bur-
den Of thought is still distant Anxiety
and care are unknown as yet; instinct
relgnS supreme. Then comes the hour
when spiritual forces of life awaken
and thought IS llindled and this, taking
the form Of idealisn, becomes art The
conception becomes the formulated i'm
age OF the souls higher instinct

or the whole man--the heart, head and

NATIONALITY IN ART.

seperate himself from his surroundings.

auctions that the individualitles Of the
ui!rerent schools are there given form
Art is the true reflection of the life and
characteristic OF the people or age to
Which it belongs s'T0
1t is q natural outgrowth existing
among people only in proportion to
their advancement in civilization.
THE deeper feelings OF mankind are
always connected with religion, and
idealism is an outgrow7th Of this feeling.
Separated from the deep spiritual in
stlnct art always declines. The real ar
list emphasizes this and so succeeds.
The fault OF modern art Is the ten
dency to disregard the heaven appointed
leadership Of their profession, and per-
mitting 1t TO be cclipsed by the love of
gain" aSEt
The speaker then cited instances of
devotion to their profession by the great
masters OF other times, and, continuing,
nc. said: Yes. the character the re-
ligion of the artist will always tell upon
mis- work. Whatever of hope. whatever
OF strength we have within us, will dig
Nifty and make strong the la1bors Of
our hands. Whatever littleness de-
grades our spirit, however, will lessen
them and drag them down, and what
ever fire is in our hearts will burn also
into our work.
h DIR. Barten drew comparisons between
the art Of the fifteenth century and that
OF to-day, as illustrating this point and
he said: "1'he divine afIlatus which in
spired the Old masters seems TO have
fled beyond recall. and our grandest ef-

OREGON SHORT LINE.
The Ogden Gateway Will Re Opened to Other
Railroads To-day.


OMAHA, Neb.. May 3l.-Thc opening OF tho
eastern terminus of the Oregon,Short Lint to the
competition OF railroads other than the Union
Pacific takes place tomorrow.
This move is OF the utmost concern to tho par
emit road. the Union Pacific. of which the Oregon
Short Line was formerly a branch. The officials
Of the Union Pacific. though not relishing the
news, admit that 1t is correct.
General Manager Dickinson of the Union Paci-
hc said: "The opening of the Ogden gateway
merely means that other railroads will compete
for tho business OF the Short Line. Tho volume
of business does not increase with the increase In
the number of roads. so that the natural effect
IL a smaller amount of business for each road.
The case is not unlike that existing between
here and Chicago.
There arc four lines. One line might be able
to handle all the trafio-two lines most certainly
could. There Is an increased expense in oper-
ating the four lines. and each line receives but a
small share of the business.

news for the Burlington. The effect will 90 to

that Congress is taking steps TO relieve the .suf-
