What is it? Who shall say what marvellous

1t may be safely assumed that the po-
lice authorities and the District Commits
sioners viii not tie satisfied with the clos
ing up of just three disrepntable houses on
the outskirts of the Division" The whole
wretcied colony ought TO be torn up, root
and branch, especially that section of it
bounded by the west side of Fourteenth
street, the east side OF Eleventh street,
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, and
the south side of c street. Portions OF this
section notably the whole of Thirteenth
street within the limits indicated, flaunt The
evil in the very iace of decent people and
constitute a blot upon the chief avenue OF
the city.
The matter seems TO be entirely within
The control of the police and more directly
within the discretion of Lieut.. Amiss.
When the order against the Tenth street
places was promulgated the other day, it
was stated that tie lieutenant simply told
the chief those houses ought to be closed
and was directed 10 proceed. II this could
be done in that case. why should not like
direct method of dealing with the Ques-
ton be employed with reference to all
other resorts of this kind.
Further Geliberation is altogether super
fluous. Tire police know that these places
are not only flagrant outrage upon NOR
ality but that in each and every one of them
liquor is sold without license. Not one
element is lacking to bring them within
the province Of police authority and action.
They have been tolerated by the police
too long. 1t is time they disappeared.

MISS O,BRIEN AS JULIET.
Excellent Rendition of the Play by
Mr.. Hanford's Company.

Mr.. Charles b. Hanford and his compa ny
gave Romeo and Juliet" at the Academy
last night before an audience that crowded
the theater to the doors.
AS Juliet was-the role in which Miss
O'Brien made her debut n short time ago
in Baltimore. special interest was felt in
this performance.
Miss Nethersole was seen in this char
actcr only short time ago and it is al
most Impossible to refrain from drawing
a comparison. 4
Ia the morespassionate and ira gic parts
Miss O'Brien's work still retains traces
OF the school of elocution, but as the
tender, loving Juliet, she was indeed
superb. From Nelson down. there has
been no actress who has given us 4 Juliet
equal to that of Miss O'Brien in her scene
with the nGrse.
Mr.. Hauford as Mercutio again proved
his versatility and the audience wished
the part longer one.
Mr.. Spencer wrestled manfuuy with
Romeo. but he is not suited to the part
Of tender lover. and seems to have the
impression that he must deliver every line
in the heaviest kind of Il melo- drama
voice.

ON The NATIONAL FINANCES
Treasurer Morgan Submits His An
nual Report Of Their Condition.
He Shows the Results of Treasury
Notes Retirement and Comments
on the Gold Reserve.

The Treasurer of the United States,
Hon. d. n. Morgan, in his annual report
on the operations and conditions of the
Treasury, after giving Figures as to the
receipts and expenditures, which differ
very slightly from thuse already pub
lished, says:
aside from the variations in the total
stock uf gold in the country, which are de-
pendent upon the domestic production and
consumption as wen as the imports and
exports of the metal, the most important
change now going ON in the composition
of the money supply arises from the
gradual retirement of the Treasury mites
of 1880, through their redemption in silver
dollars.
BY this process, which began in August,
1898, and has continued since, the total
issue OF S155, ,931 ,9O2 of these notes was
reduced by September 80, 1895, to Sli3,-
666, ,2S0."
Uncurrent gold and silver cuins of the face
value of 81 81 6, ,6iT.36 were transferred
during the year from the Treasury To- the
mint for recninase. The loss thereon aris-
ing from dirninutinu of weight was Seo1.-
151.O5. Up to the end OF September last
the sum of SS26 ,T3o,50 in Columbian
half dollars had been exchanged for gold
coin. The amount of counterfeit coins and
paper currency detected during the year

Under the provisions OF an act of Con
grcSs, the face value OF the State bonds
and stocks formerly held in trust for the
various Indian tribes has been placed
upon the books of the Treasury TO the
credit OF the several tribes, to draw inter-
est at the rate OF per cent per annum-
and the securities have become the prop
erty OF the United States.
The amount of national bank notes
Received for redemption was nearly $ST,
100000, Of which So, 5,OOO.O 900, fit for
circulation, were returned TO the banks of
issue. Inclusive Of charges for transpor
tation, salaries, stationery, and contingent
expenses, the total costs OF the rcdcmptions
for the year were S10O,352.79, which
have been assessed upon the banks at the
rate Of $l.l5 per $1,000 of notes re-
deemed.
Tie deposits on account Of the reduction
or retirement OF national bank circulation
amounted, during the year, TO SI2,056, :
1880, and the redemptions on the same
account to Sf3 3,O6S,369.
