Lovers of Art Will Enjoy Visiting the
 Place.
 Pollak's picture store on Bank street was re-opened to-day with a splendid array of pictures of the mod ern kind. This store, it will be re- membered, did not escape in the con- f1agration of February 2. It was bad ly scorched and large number of very valuable pictures ruined. These were all disposed of to make room for a more modern lot and the walls of the rejuvenated store are ornamented with them. It is a pretty sight. There are pastels and etchfngs, col ored photographs. which seem to be quite popular with a great many, wa ter colors and photogravures. The modern picture is not quite as large as it's parents, adapted no doubt to suit the modern flat. There are many very notable pictures in the display, comparing so well with the originals that the difference is not noticeable. Lovers of art in this form would do well to visit Pollak's and the lay eye cannot fail to admire and. be greatly l pleased. There is also a display of glassware situated in the center of the rear part of the store. This Is the re-opening after the fire and ey- erybody ought to see 1t.
