Last Saturday the fifteen employees of the
firm of Rodger & Davis, machinists and
steamfitters, Fifth street. were notified that
thereafter they would work but eight hours

ton in wages. Yesterday noon

received their paw for the half days work

as were paid in other shops OF this city and
Minneapolis, and say they will not return
to work at those wages. They have pub
lished card requesting all steamfitters to
keep away from the shop.

DAYTON'S BLUFF CITIZENS.
City Attorney Murray Promises Ac.
ton i'm the Viaduct Matter

ton i'm the Viaduct Matter.
The Dayton's Bluff Citizens union held
its regular meeting last night at Schorn-
STEMS hall, corner Bates avenue and Hud-
son street. There was very full attend
ance of members and the meeting was one
of interest, although no business of any
particular Importance was done. City
Attorney Murray was present by invitation
of the union. and informed them in regard
to the vaduct across the railroad tracks
on Third street. Mr.. Murray said
that the city would take prompt action in
the matter and that the plans and contracts
were already awaiting the approval and sig
nature of President Hill of the Manitoba
who was absent in the East at present The
Manitoba road would build the superstruc-
ture and the city would complete the via
duet according to the agreement already
made with that company. There would be
no assessment against any property holders
for this work as the city would pay for it
out of the general fund. The building
of the structure would be commenced as
soon as practicable and pushed to the earliest
possible completion.
Mr.. Murray was extended thanks and a
cordial invitation to attend its meeting
often, in a resolution offered by Mr.. Pugh.
The committee oYt electric light reported
that all of the necessary funds had been
paid in and deposited and are ready to be
paid over to the electric light company. as
soon as it put the lights up and was ready
to operate them. The union then adj
journed to go into executive session, to pass
upon applications for membership to it's
body.

play. There is not all indifferent actor Oh
the stage. Each one seems to be peculiarly
adapted to his and her part, and there is not
weak point in the entire cast. ''The Tin
Soldier'' is musical farce full of incident,
musical with song, uproarous with comic
alties. The plumber is an old chest
nut in satirical journalism, but has
never before been the victim of
satire on the stage George Wilson, who
takes the character OF the eXtortiOnate
plumber. displays the highest qualities of
the comedian, and gets an immense deal of
fun out of his part. His topical song,
you'll GET THERE"
written by Mr.. Hoyt, received six encores
last night, and the delighted audience
might have kept him singing all night but
for his plea in the last stanza that much
singing would make him mad, His assist
ant, James Il. Powers. who took the part
of Rats" is even better than when he
used to appear on the boards as the waffle
fiend in Fun in Photograph Gallery"
when he diyed headforemost down eleven
flights of stairs. Gus Henessy and Fred
Ham, as the heroes of Gettysburg, do quite
well, and make nice hit in the third
act when shut up i'll an ice
hoese. Paul Arthur does the greatest
act as a gentleman of high station according
to proper conception OF the part. The la
dies of the company are not only unusually
pretty and will fill the front rows III the
Oldest opera house in the country. but they
are exceedingly clever in their acting and
singing Isabella COe, as the bride of six
weeks presents striking satire on the trib-
ulations of the young married women who
have just started to housekeeping. To
gether with her house cleaning, a borrow
ing neighbor, the plumber and his assistant
at work in the house, and the cook i'll
league with the plumber to keep the leaks
open, the poor young hOusekeeper has
sorry time Of it. Miss Amy Ames, as Vio-
let, is phenomenal domestic. who, with
her sweet Irish brogue and voice of great
power and sweetness, is a good
comedy all by herself. And the pretty
little Rachel Booth, Victoria Reynolds, and
Fanny Batchelder make ito hard to excel.
Taking it altogether, the humor OF the play
and the superior ability of the company,
as well as the superb management of the
stage, it is doubtful whether Mr.. Hoyt will
ever make happier hit than he has done in
his Tin Soldier as presented by this COM
bination. People who want to laugh and
pay to laugh, and deliberately set about to
find something to make them laugh will go
six nights out the week and twice to
matinee to see it. The play will be repeated
Tonight, tomorrow matinee and night.
THE OLYMPIC.
Kennedy's Bright Lights opened last
night to fair house and pleased immensely.
The best members of the company are Vic
tor jerome, Mortone, Ronaldo and Ronaldo
and Emma Leon. Prof. Kennedy surely is
as fine as any mesmerist ever seen in the
Northwest His numerous feats provoked
laughter and applause, and it was the gen.
eral verdict that he is worthy of any ones
attention. He changes his feats at each
performance.

ssA Tin Soldiers Doubles Up the Au-
dience--At the Olympic.

The large crowd at the opera house last
night laughed until their sides were sore.
1t was fun from the time the curtain went
up on the first act until it dropped on the
last. 1.-The Tin Soldier is Charles Hoyt's
best hit 1t is of the same order as the
Bunch of Keys" only it is funnier. 1t is
one OF those plays You can't criticize, be-
cause there is nothing about it to criticize.
There is no plot in it, nor is there any ele-
ment of consecutiveness about it. 1t is a
jum5le Of funny things SO adroitly put to-
gether that when you start in with laugh
at the first ridiculous scene you
never have time to quit laughing
until the play Is over. There
is no moral in the play, for the author says
he only aimed to keep it from being i'm
moral, which he has succeeded in doing. A
merrier play within the limits of becoming
mirth was never put on the stage 1t is a
rare compound of oddly, frolic and fun.

THE NEW SECRETARY,
Some Remarks by Prof. Phelps Re
fore the Cha m Der of Commerce.


fore the Cha III Der of Commerce.
The attendance upon the chamber of
commerce yesterday morning was unusually
large, it having been announced that Prof
Phelps, the new secretary, would be present
and address few remarks to those who
should see lit to be there. After the usual
preliminary business of reading the roll,
etc, the rules were suspended as regards
the order of business and Gen. SanbOfn at
once introduced the new secretary, who
laid of 4 heavy fur OVercOat and proceeded
In the platform near the president, from
which he spoke for about one hour. His
remarks were well received, and several
times he Was interrupted with applause.
PROF. PHELPS REMARKS.
In opening his remarks, the speaker desired
TO express his feelings for the unanimity and
cordiaiity with which the chamber Ind in
Vited him to the ;~5sI1On of secretary. and de-
clared that il would ne his highest ambition to
Justify the confidence by the manner in which
lie should perform the duties co.4Lectcd with
the position. He hoped they would not think
he had been an UnobServant witness of the
growth in population. wealth, learning, bust
ness and commercial supremacy Of st. Paul.
Twenty years ago he landed here from the
little steamer Molle Musk. There was
nothing at that time to give promise Of what
all now behold in this great commercial
and railroad center. and wondered If we fully
appreciate the future possibilities of this
great and prosperous city. In this connection
Prof. Phelps terred to the prophetic dec
laraton that Mr. Seward made many years
ago at the state capital III st. Paul, and which
has so often been quoted. to the effect hat the
ultimate seat of power of this continent would
be not far from where he then stood. on the
capitol steps, and said that if Mr.. Seward had
lived TO be here in st. Paul to-day he would
he surprised to witness the near approach of
the prophecy made by him. He then declared
that it was liz the hands of the business men
of St Paul to cause to be fulfilled the proph-
esy made by the New York statesman. He
had said that he had not been an unobservant
spectator of the marvellous growth of St.
Paul II was very marked. and indicated
great public spirit and business capacity

in her splendid business men. 1t was carly

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A West Side Citizen Charged with
incest.

Frank Hoffman was up before the munic-
ipal court yesterday charged with improper
conduct, the charge being made against
him by Mary Novatney, the fourteen year
old daughter of Vincent Novatney, who
lives in the Sixth ward. When Hoffman
was arrested he charged Novatney with in
cest with the same girl and he was also put
under arrest. They were arrested early
yesterday morning by Lieut. Walsh, and
when he entered the Novatney residence he
found the girl occupying the same bed with
her father, while Hoffman. who is an
itinerant musician, was sleeping on a couple
of chairs in the same room. Mary's sister,
Josie, is now in the House of the Good
Shepherd and it is alleged that she had
stated some time ago that her father was
criminally intimate with her. The case
was continued till this morning and both
Hoffman and Novatney were committed to
the county Jail.

STR EET SAYINGS.

One of the queerest freaks seen at the
Seventh street dime museum yesterday was
young man with blonde hair and very
pronounced bang to it. The singular part
of the bang, however, consisted of its color,
which was snow white. Reese Moore, al
ways on the lookout for attractions offered
him lucrative engagement, but the visitor
declined.

The people of Minneapolis will probably
be permitted to have the opportunity of
witnessing the performance of DIR. Me-
Lean. 1t is said that the eX-preacher,
doctor, mindreader and mermerist will hire
hall and give an exhibition of his mes
meric powers in the flour city.
~M*
The st. Paul chamber of commerce,
like the board of trade. seems to have be-
come a good deal more active since the
members got into their new hall. The
latter came near filling the long hall yester-
day morning, and appeared to display more
energy and vim than ever before. If they
keep On at this rate they will shake up the
dry bones to some purpose. Mr.. COchran's
suggestion that tie old girl should tend
strictly to her knitting" was good one.
and met the cordial approval of all the
members.

diphtheria and scarlet fever. A great deal
of time and care has been spent in prepar-
ing the report and both the doctor and his
assistant, Mr.. Bryant, are taking COM
mendable pride in their work.

Yesterday morning the stonecutters at
work on the new court house were put to
work at eight hours and $2.25 day. This
was not entirely satisfactory to the union
men. and there was strong talk yesterday of

meeting of the StonecutterS' union last
night, however, the terms were accepted.
