THE PRIX DE ROME.
The Ordeal That Art students Have
to Undergo In order to
obtain IL.

A promise has been made TO lodge
art students competing for the PriX
de Rome in the Palace to Compiegne,
but has not as yet been kept. The
ten selected 20 compete must mediate
in cells nj the Tcole DIES Beaux Arts.
The ordeal TO which competitors are
subjected was begun the other day.
They are TO work in solitary contine-
ment during 70 days, but the first &c
hours are the most trying. The cell
/ /. barer than any in n monastery, where
the crucifX relieves the Darkness of
the walls. All the furniture would not
fetch 100 francs at the auction mart
II consists of a mattress, pillow and
bolster, rush mat, an easel, n chair
and small table. There is nothing
else. As light comes from above, there
Is no outlook.
The competitor Is thrown completely
upon himself, but especially during the
first three days. He is then deprived
of all communication with the outside
world, and is TO all intents and purposes
in Jail. The sketch OF his competing
! pictare must be made i'm that time. He
may subsequently, modify his design,
but must not change the main features
| The figures are 10 keep their original
attitudes, no figure is TO be withdrawn
and the design is 10 be duplicated. One
of the two cravings is sealed up and
sent TO n jury. The student keeps the
other. This done, the door OF the cell
is unlocked, the occupant can 90 in and
out, pay but not receive visits, and Is
free TO take his meals where he pleases
He may take his drawing to his master,
and consult with him as to the best
means of hiding general defects or
enhancing what is meritorious by
means of changes in detail and by of
fects of color.
II sometimes happens that there IL a
triplioate, so that copy may be given
TO the professor should he be disposed
TO work it up. But this is against the
spirit of the rules. In point OF fact, il
Is rare not TO see the masters hand in
the PriX de Rome paintings when they
are finished and ready to be exhibited.
The subjects are chosen by the jury,
and generally are classical or historical,
and demand what is termed here a
noble style of treatment. Plutarch's
'rncitus and Caesar are the great pur-
ycyors of subjects. Scenes from sacred
history are sometimes chosen. There
is no more uninteresting exhibition
than that of the Prix de Rome. Seldom
indeed is originality shown, or the
promise of future excellence given.
Most of the pictures are, so to speak,
cooked according to recipe, wanting in
expression and crude in coloring.

themselves to religious art and por-
traits. 1t certainly helps them TO un-
derstand Italian art of the grand period

RAILROAD MATTERS.
A BOOM ON the SOMERSET.

The year 1899 now drawing to q close,
has been q goud one for the Somerset
railroad, one Of the best In its history,
according to indications at this time.
Tue freighting business havt been very
heavy and Is likely to continue SO, partic-
ularly at Madison. The extensive build
ing or erations Of the Great Northern Pa
per company at that place has required
the transportation Of immense quantities
Of machinery and building material Of
all kinds. which. With the discarded ma
chirery and material shipped away and
the building material required for other
large buildings in Madison. made up au
active frsighting season so far as Madi-
son goes.
The prospect of business on this road
for another years 10 bright one. With
the mill Of the Great Northern at MAdi-
son, running full force, turning out its
finished product of paper, and the mill
of the International Company at Scion,
turning out pulp at the rate Of 80 to 40
tons per day, with the usual lumber
freight from bingham and North AnsoD.
the freighting for the wooden mills ut
Madison and the usual ransportstion of
merchandise for lum bering and general
purposes, the Somerset railroad must be
In condition to face the immediate fu-
ture with equanimity If long. busy
freight trains contribute to that frame Of
mind.
The road was never In better condition
for this work. 10 has beside the regular
expenditures for the maintenance Of thu
way, repairs Of buildings, etc., done a
large amount Of extra work of a psrma-
nent character.
