1t is to Have a Pretty Thorough
OverhauIing

The City Art Gallery will close on
Monday morning for one week that
necessary repairs to the interior may be
made
Custodian Jackson will also seize the
opportunity to revarnish some of the
paintings repair some frames, etc, and
provide new cloth screens overhead in
two of the galleries. The damaged
walls will be restained, and the win
dow sashes and frames, which have
not been touched for repairs in TWEEN
ty-siX years, will be scraped, restained
and vanished Where polished work
is SOiled it will be cleaned and repoI-
ished, and the Office will be papered
These repairs have long been needed
and cannot be further delayed, except
at risk of far greater cost next year
The steps leading to the gallery need
replacing with granite, but that it is
found can hardly be done this year,
though an estimate of cost is to be
made and reported to the Joint Board
of Control
All the interior repairs now to be
made will be under the immediate di-
rection of Custodian jackson and the

with his hat raised to the extent of

there is a big bear up here
OF course we all wanted to see the
bear SO up we went very cautiously,

ANNIE BOYD AGAIN.
Arrested On Complaint of Her Sis
ter Mrs Hatch

Annie Boyd is in trouble again. She
was yesterday arrested by Officers Hig-
gins and Maley on a warrant sworn
out by her sister, Lillian Hatch, charg-
ing her with petty larceny.
Annie Boyd has quite a record in
police circles, and her picture occupies
a page in the prison blue book, COM
monty called the ''rogues gallery"
The present difficulty seems to be
pretty much in the family. Annie
Boyd was recently in San Francisco,
where her sister, Mrs. Hatch, is en-
ployed. The latter, it appears has
been stopping at a clearinghouse on
Post street, and when she left she owed
the landlady small sum for rent, TO
insure the payment of which she left
her Saratoga trunk, filled to the top
with dresses and hats and laces and
bonnets and various other things which
go to make up a woman's wardrobe.
According to Mrs. Hatch's story, her
sister Annie visited the landlady who
conducts the lodging house and repre-
sented that she had sent her for the
trunk, at the same time proffering the
amount due for rent.
The upshot OF the matter was that
Annie got the trunk and contents and
lost no time in coming to this city and
taking a room in the Vendome lodg-
ing-house on K street, between Third
and Fourth
1t was not long before Lillian Hatch
called at the Post-street lodging house
and demanded her trunk, when she was
Informed that she had been fOreSta He'd
by her sister Annie. Mrs. Hatch then
took the first train for this city, where
she got out the warrant on which the
arrest was made She states that her
motive is not to punish her erring sis
ter, but to regain possession of her
wardrobe. The trunk and contents are
held as evidence in the case, which will
be called in the Police Court +O-mOrrOW
