KoTzschMAR HALL.
All Ready Now but the Scenery and
the Seats-How Scenes
are Painted.

The seats are being placed In IKotzschmar hall
and when this Is done, the scenery painted, and q
few finishing touches put on, the most beautiful
public hall of its class in New England will be
ready for business. The work Of painting the
scenery is progressing well, but slowly as is to be
expected from the nature of the business. 1t is o
mixture of house painting and frescoing, being
done with all the care and nicely OF the latter and
under the disadvantages Of the former.
There are two stages to scene painting and thu
utmost care is necessary in both. The scenes are
first spread out fiat and the design is drawn on
them. Then they are set up, one by one, in theiI
frames, and the artist. on staging ladder, as
is most convenient, puts on the colors. Some idea
of the magnitude of this may be gained when II
1t is said that 81 different cans OF paint are scat
tered about on the stage, with nearly twice as
many brushes Of all conceivable shapes and sizes.
Besides these, there are stencil plates for putting
In the fligree work in profusion enough to make
an ordinery mans head swim.
The ordinary method of working is for the artist
to elm down from his last perch, take new
brush, can of paint and stencil, and with them In
his mouth or elsewhere, climb back to the dizzy
height, "crab" along TO the proper place, fasten
the stencil, dip the brush in the paint and lay on
about one square inch of color. Then the process
Is repeated. Of course there are some parts oil
some of the scenes that can be painted on for two
scarce.
The scenery, or so much of it as is In condition
to be looked at, is in keeping with the beauty OF
the rest of the hall, so that It may well be said
tnat 1t will be the gem of the city. The public
although excluded at present, will soon have an
opportunity to judge for themselves of the merits
OF the place.

MorrIssey alias Sullivan,

One OF the tricks that are tried by criminals to
avoid recognition was given an unsuccessful trial
at the police station yesterday. The deputy sher-
ifs arrested young fellow for some offence
against the liquor laws, and lodged him In the po-
lice station for safe keeping. When he was be-
Ing locked up he was asked bis name, and gave 1t
as Sullivan, a name well enough known at the sta
ton. The young mans brother was In the sta
ton at the time, and remarked to an officer, "His
name is not Sullivan" He refused to tell what it
was, however. so the prisoner went down on the
books as Sullivan.
At about noon a stoutish, middIe-aged woman
wrapped in voluminous shawl, and dissolved in
tears appeared at the deputy marshals room and
asked to see her dear boy, who was, she said, a
prisoner. whats his manner" demanded the
deputy. Tom Morrissey was not the name she
gave, but it will answer just as well for the pur-
poses of this tale. The deputy looked his book
over, and said that no Morrissey was behind bars
then. The woman shed a few more tears, and
said she knew he was there, the sherifs brought
him in.
mo they didn't" returned the deputy. "They
brought In a fellow named Sullivan; he will get
bail at o'clock, and will be released then: your
boy isn't here at ALL"
The woman departed, still fearful and shifting
something she had under her shawl over under
her arm for more secure hold.
This is another instance when smart young
man was little too smart, and lost large.sized
drink of the "crayther' thereby.
