Conspicuous among the paintings now on
exhibition at the Royal Academy in London
10 sargent's portrait group Of four pro-
lessons Of Johns Hopkins University at
Baltimore. The picture has been described
as the modest work Of art that has been
hung In the Royal Academy since Sir Joshua
Reynolds was president Of it, and the most
Important and impressive of its type that
has been painted by any mar since the
seventeenth century drew its curtain across
the art Of Holland"
Among the professors in the painting Is
DR.. 0sler, to whom is attributed the dec
laration that a mans creative ability
usually fades after he passes 40. 1t is not
unlikely that Mr.. Sargent may disagree with
the Osler theory, as the artist is now
In his fftieth year. Some who ave seen
the great picture have described 1t as the
artists masterpiece.

It's tremendous power. 1t is n vast dark
canvas" that only a master hand might
attempt. The English critics devoted more
space to Sargent than 10 any other exhibitor.
An extract from one criticism will show
the general attitude toward the picture.
Frederick Wedmore wrote;
THE brilliant and demonstrative painter
was beset with difficulties Of giving interest
not only dramatic but pictorial to a whole
group Of academic men. OF course such
difficulties, the difficulties Of grouping
men, have been overcome before now. and
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-06-03

overcome superlatively well in one canvas,
when the master was Rembrandt and the
picture The Syndics of the Cloth Hall
"The picture, like that Of the Marlborough
group of a year ago, is tall and the place
represented as lofty. Dark woodwork,
carried high, gives the place a sort Of sober
dignity,
The background figure is like n grave
figure in a seventeenth century canvas
The figure to the left is of countenance pro.
foundry sensible and more or less modern.
But interest eliminates in the study Of
the central figure, the man of pale or sallow
face and coa dark eyes, winning and ex-
traordinarily potent, who is in the very
front of the picture. Was this the gentle
man, was this the seer, rather. who had
been supposed to condemn humanity's
capacity for useful c~ontinuance-at 40 years
old, was it not? If so, he must at least be
worth the listening to-"
Americans doomed large in the exhibit
ton. e. A. Abbey's impressive contribu-
ton of the Landing Of Columbus has at
tracted as much if not more attention than
S%argent's portrait group.
1t is full of color that s~tartles with its
v%ividness, Columbus is seen kneeling in
shimmering arrnor in the foreground with
priests and followers. Caravels are in the
background and the sky is filed with Grim
son famingoee. The Intensely decorative
spirit of Mr., Abbey, according to the critics,
appeals to a multitude.

Strains OF Modern Life.

We must admit that the accessories Of
modern life in general are placing greater
nd greater strain on the faculties of the
individual.
His eyes are strs ined by the intense artificial

The Trust Ahead.

The sugar trust was fined $4,000
for taking $4,000 of rebates from the
New York Central Railroad company
Judge Holt inflicted that wonderful
sentence. Unless the Republican par
ty has repealed the multiplication ia
bic along with the constitution and the
Declaration of Independence the sugar
trust is $4,000 ahead in the transaction,
a nice little wad of pocket money
which any one of several millions of
American citizens would consider a
fortune. AT that rate the sugar trust
can go on receiving rebates and paying
fines ad infnitum, getting richer ev-
cry time it is fined. With Judge Holt
to fix the penalty, it will take several
million years to cure the sugar trust OF
the bad habit of accepting rebates.
That court needs new judge.
