A ReautifuI picfure.

Mr.. VIM. T. Mathews, the well-known
artist, has just finished at his studio in
the Corcoran Building one of the finest
sketches from life that has ever graced the
easel of local artist. The picture is a
group of three boys engaged in q game of
marbles in an open field, and for strength
of color and pleasing out-of-door outline,
it possesses unusual vigor, and each of the
three figures is a study and triumph in
itself, three distinct types of buoyant
glowing boyhood assembled in positions
so easy and lifelike that it is difficult to
believe that the game is only going on on
canvass.
The wealth of vegetation of broad pas
ture, with grazing cattle and a bright,
sunny sky above, forms an appropriate back
ground to the animated group, and gives
the picture tone that rivals the beauty Of
q May morning.
Mr.. Mathews will not remain in the city
long, after putting the last touches on this
gem of art, and will spend the summer
among the romantic scenery Of the Rocky
Mountains and the Far West.

The Commissioners on Saturday reduced
Lieutenant Noonan to second-class
private, acting as sergeant, and to continue
in his present position at Police Court.
Lieutenant Noonan, who has been one of the
most faithful and useful of the police lieu
tenants, is incapacitated for active duty,
and has had charge of the collection of fines
and collaterals at the Police Court for some
years. The law prescribes that some police
official shall have charge of the revenues at
this court, and as lieutenant is the lowest
bonded officer, Lieutenants Eckloff and
Noonan have both held the position. The
idea of leaving the position in charge of a
private is new departure. The reducing
of Lieutenant Noonan to the ranks does not
leave vacancy or decrease the number of
lieutenants from that under the old organ
ization, as Sergeant Swindells, in charge of
the Third PreciAct, has been promoted to q
lieutenancy
