Treasury Reserve in No Danger.

New York Evening Post, Aug. 16
 The sum of $500. 900 in gold was taken out of the sub-treasury for export to- morrow on exchange for legal tenders, and $100, 900 on assay office checks against bullion deposited. While the posted rates for sterling exchange remained practically the same today the demand was reported to be much smaller than usual This was believed to be due in great part to the selling of large block of sterling exchange yesterday by Simon Borg & Co., against securities forwarded to Europe. In well-informed financial circles the opinion prevails that there will be very little more gold exported now, and that a break in the rates for sterling must speedily come.
 All bankers and bank officers, those in the syndicate and those who are not agreed in saying today that the syndi- cate is abundantly able to protect and maintain the treasury's gold reserve They are known to have large amount of gold on hand and to have provided for lot more. Furthermore, they have a right to call on two of the big city banks for s3, 900. 900 gold if necessary.
 These two banks habitually horde gold, cate, for some reason or other they paid in only the face of their subscription in gold not at the rate of two to one as the other subscribers. They will be made to "come to time.' however should the oc- casion arise. One of the banks. the pres ident of which is usually referred to as

It is interesting 10 know ard is g fsct th2t tends to sp9w the extent to which confidence has been restored, that several banks this week, pleased with the success of the syndl- cate's operations. offered to deposit a large amount of gold in the sub-treasury in exchange for legal tenders.

The ono great defect in the late Robert Louis Stevenson's writings has always been in his inability to make a woman. There have been attempts of late to knock down this oft repeated, often referred to statement. Whatever the truth may be, his girls arc rarely good company, and few of them arc human beings at all. The un-I sympathetic Mamie in "The Wrecker' is very living, it must be owned, but she is exceptional Esther, in "The Story of n Lic," barely brsathes--only just enough to make your dislike of her a reality. What is wanting in her and in most of the others2 Stevenson differentiated, conceived complex girl characters, invented personal traits, gave them very human vices and foibles; but it is all of no avail. He was working entirely from the outside, and this is rather remarkable in a man of such delicately sensitive and even feminine in stincts. Perhaps his failures arose from a very frequent source of such-an oxagger- ation of the differences between tho male and female character. Philadelphia Ledg

"Down in Dixie '

Down in Dixie" with it's famous pick aninny band, comes to this city Wednes- day night This event will be pleasant one to theater-goers of every class. There has not been a more acceptable southern one by Scott Marble. Nor has any play had more satisfactory production. Man agers Davis and Keogh have provided it with very beautiful scenery, the work of John H. Young. One of the views is of a southern landscape, with creek in which allgators abide, a high embank- ment, a picturesque bridge and a darky cabin. Another is of the outside of an old Carolina homestead, with the country around about. Then there is the famous cotton warehouse scene, with the huge cotton compress that is used with such thrilling effect at the climax of the third act. This place is shown in flames at the end of the act, and the spectacle is most effective. Another interesting scene is that of the quaint old-fashioned interior ing picture of southern life, as well as a stirring drama of sensational incidents. It tells a love story that is diversified by events of the most exciting character. Each act ends with a heart-quickening situation. The comedy element is very strong. The old squire, the old colored couple and the jolly pickaninnies all do and say many things of the most laugh able kind. The pickanlnny band appears also in a ezouave drill, which has made even a greater hit than it was expected to make

AT O'BRIEN'S.

MT Edwin Hanford, the ideal Irish come dian, sweet singer and dancer, supported by Lindsey's comedians, will appear at O'Brien's opera house tonight in "The Shamrock" The cast is a strong one, making one of the strongest combinations on the road this season. The story of the play is as follows:
 The first act occurs on a race track in County Kerry, Ireland. Shiel OMoore, an lrSh jockey, Is to- ride a thoroughbred horse for John Rehan, wealthy stable owner. Sir Gerald Buckley, man of no principle, also has horse entered but fearing Shiel O'Moore will win tries to induce him to throw the race. This he refuses to do Buckley hires a man tCraig Dolam to secret himself in the brush and shoot the horse Shiel OMoore rides as he comes round the half mile, thus giving Buckley's horse a chance to win. The race is started with half dog en horses and mounted jockeys, the half mile is reached; Dolan fires at Shiers horse, but misses, the bullet hitting John Rehan. the owner of Shiel's horse, and kills him.
 During the excitement of the race no notice is taken of the murder until after the race is over. John Rehan is discov- cred by his son, Richard. who gives the alarm, when Dolan and Buckley de- nounce him (Richarde as the murderer. SfcumStantlal evidence points strongly toward him. He leaves Ireland rather than to go to jadl. Moses Levi a London storekeeper, who is touring Ireland is the only eye witness to the murder, but not wishing to be detained as a witness, keeps quiet about the matter and returns to London. Buckley in the meantime in- forms Shiel that there is an intimacy be- tween Richard and his (Shiefs) sister, Sheelah. Shiel on being convinced leaves his sister intending to live apart, all though she is innocent of the charge. Richard and Sheelah love each other. After Richard leaves the country and Shiel is separated from his sister, Shee- lah is abducted by Buckley, who has taken a fancy to her. He takes her to London. Shiel returns home and finding his sister gone sets out in search of her. He traces her to London and finds her disguised as bootblack on the streets, after her escape from Buckley's clutches.
 There they meet Levi, and both are employed by him in his store. During their stay there they find out that he was an eye witness to the murder. Rich ard next comes on the scene. Being closely followed by the police he finds refuge in Lewis store There he meets Shiel and Sheeah, and Shiel now being satisfied that it was all mistake be- tween them, and that Levi knows all about the matter, they decide to journey back to Ireland and find the guilty par ties
 The last act finds them all back in Ire land, the crime is fastened on the guilty ones and Richard is cleared and marries Sheelah. Shiel O'Moore is also engaged to his own sweetheart. The curtain drops in a happy ending.
