4 BOwERY GIRL LAST NIGHT.
The New Play Greeted by a Large
Audience-OId Homestead.

The Bowery OF New York, with its
fertile name. has furnished authors, song
writers. and playwrights with material
for their several occupations. Hoyt has
made its name worldwide in a song;
Steve Brodie has ruled its inhabitants
like a king; Edward Townsend has
drawn charming stories from its slums,
and now Miss Ada Lee Bascom, a Cali
fornia girl, has come to the front with
play that attempts a representation OF
its peculiar characters in stage action.
"a Bowery Girl'' Is the name OF her
piece and IL was given its initial pro-
duction in This city last evening. at the
Academy OF Music, before q tremendous
audience in the two galleries. They en-
loved IT, and gave appreciation OF their
delight by vociferous yells and plaudits.

NEW GOVERNMENT LOAN.
Talk About IL In New fork-Prices
tn BE Paid.

NEW YORK. February 3.-There were
a number of informal conferences In
hank parlors downtown to-day In regard
TO the new government loan. The chiet
noint at issue was the price TO be bid
for the bonds. and local bankers were en-
deayorlng 10 find out the average rate 10
he rendered BY New York city capitalists.
IL was said that those most enthusiastic
for a popular loan a little while ago,
and who advanced the argument that
the government would net considerably
more by refusing TO deal with the syn
dictate. have materially lowered the prices
they will pay for the issue. According
to good authorities. the bids put IN by
these parties will run anywhere from
1O5 IL TO 100. 1t will be remembered tnat
the syndicate bid was l0i "a net, with
guarantee that the gold to be turned In
would not be taken from the Sub-Trea-
sury.
Bullion dealers report brisk business
in gold to-day, at 3-S premium for buying
and 5-s for selling. At the Sub-Treasury
there was quite a rush for the subscrip-
ton blanks: in fact the demand was
larger than at any time since the forms
were received from Washington.
Joseph c. Hendrix, president OF the
National Union Bank. has gone 10 wash
ington, taking with him the bids for the
government bonds made by group of
institutions. comprising the Mutual Life
Insurance Company. the Guaranty Trust
Company, the United States Mortgage and
Trust Company, the National Union
Bank. and a number of the customers
OF the trust companies ana the banks,
aggre gating a large sum.
