tendance.
The sale of reserved seats for the
Symphony concert, to be given for the
benefit of the Minnesota Boat club, be-
gan yesterday morning. That Mr..
Gordon has struck a popular chord in
getting together a fine orchestra with
two such artists as Miss Gordon and
Miss Lamprey was shown by the way
the seats were taken. Within an hour
after the box office at the Metropolitan
Opera house opened over half the seats
were sold. Mr. Gordon and Director
Danz are on their mettle and propose
to: show the public what a splendid
orchestra can be gotten together in St.
Paul The rehearsal yesterday, with
orchestra and soloiSt, lasted four hours,
and today's will be equally severe.
There will be none tomorrow as the
principals and orchestra alike will save
themselves for the evening. Mr. Cor
don wishes every one who is fond Of
good music to hear this concert, and in
order that the scale Of prices will pro-
hibit no one from attending, has in
duced the boat club management to
sell tickets for the gallery at twenty
five cents, and general admission fifty
cents. Tomorrow evening will prob
ably see the largest audience of the
season at the Metropolitan. Certain
it is that no better programme has
been offered here this winter.

d. j.. Hennessey EuIOgized by the
~ Chamber of Commerce.
!. The chamber of commerce, at its
meeting yesterday, adopted the follow
ing memorial:
-. The chamber ST commerce of St. Paul, Min
nesota, learns with feeling of deep regret and
mourns with sincere sorrow the death Of
David J. Hennessey, which took place in
Dubuque, Io.,. Jan. 9th, 1897. For many
wears the deceased was a resident Of st. Paul.
and took keen interest in all matters tend
ing toward Its growth and development, its
faith in the stability of st. Paul property was
unbounded, and he was one Of the foremost
realty investors, his holdings at time
amounting into the millions. His confidence
in the city and its future remained mistaken
even in the darkest days Of financial depres-
sion. He loved St. Paul, and had an abiding
Messy was the mildest of men, and withal so
unobtrusive as to attract little public atten-
ton. Simple in his habits, modest in de-
meanor. Tehned IN conversation, clean of
heart, and upright of character, these were
the badges of his citizenship Noble he
was condemning all things mean his truth
unquestioned and his soul serene. A friend to
virtue. his unclouded breast envy stung
no jealousy distressed. The st. Paul cham
Der of commerce thakes this occasion to pay
this slight tribute to good man and worthy
citizen. 1t is the sense Of this body that
this memorial be spread upon the records
and the secretary Is instructed to transmit
copies TO the Press and one to Archbishop
Hennessey, of Dubuque, To-, brother Of the
deceased.
Col. Clough introduced a resolution
favoring a fair trial Of the arbitra-
ton plan embodied in the treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. 1t will be considered by the
chamber next Monday.

DIX HEARD FROM AGAIN.
This Time He Bumps Up Against the
Charter.

Some Of the contra ctors who are en-
gagged in the business of cleaning
vaults have made complaints to MEM
bers of the council that there were GER
tain contractors who had a monopoly
of the business. This was alleged to
be owing to the rules now in force In
the office of the health commissioner.
With a view to throwing the work open
to all contractors, a resolution was in,
troduced in the assembly by Mr.. Dix
requiring the health commissioner to
post notices in his office for period
of five days giving the location of the
vaults and cesspools to be cleaned. The
assembly committee on streets had the
resolution before them yesterday for
consideration. Dr. Stone informed the
committee that twenty-four hours was
sufficiently long enough notice to be
given in such cases, and cited cases
where a scarlet fever epidemic had
been caused by cesspools and vaults
which had not been cleaned for sew
eral years. The legislature, recognize
ing the. necessity of prompt, action in
such matters had left it to the health
commissioner, as would be found by
looking at the charter. No resolution,
Dr. Stone said, which provided for a
five days notice would be considered
by him as binding even though 1T
came from the council. He was always
willing and ready to take suggestions
from the council, but in this case he
would take no instructions. He sub
mitted a written opinion from the cor
poration attorney, which sustained him
in the position he took in the matter.
Mr. Dix announced that the intention
Of the resolution was to give all the
contractors in this line Of business a
chance to get work. The matter was
laid over until the next meeting Of the
committee in order that the contract
ors making the complaints could be
heard,

CITY SHOVELING SNOW
Which the Street Railway Piled
Along the Sidewalks

Assemblyman Reardon ralled the city
engineer over the Goals yesterday after
noon about the manner in which the
streets are being cleaned. According
to Mr.. Reardon, the city had about fifty
men at work on Wabasha street,
cleaning up and hauling away the
Snow for the street car company. The
railway company, Mr.. Reardon stated,
had snow plows run along the streets,
and the snow thrown from their tracks
into the cutters and on the sidewalks.
The city street force then went to
work and hauled the snow away, and
the taxpayers had to stand the expense
which should be paid by the street car
company.
Mr.. Rundlett explained that he had
notified superintendent Smith, and had
been told that the company would
have force of men at work at once.
He informed the committee before
which he was called, that it was the
practice to have the city force and
the street railway company work to-
gether on such occasions, and that
usually there was no disposition on
the part of the railway company to
shirk it's share of the work.

POLICE PENSION FUND.
Something Is Necessary to Increase
the Amount Available


49, the Amount Available,
The police pension fund board held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and pass
ed the pension roll for December. The
amount allowed was 1857. City Treas
urer Horst reported that there was on
hand in the fund after paying the De-
cember roll, 1851. This would be
augmented by credits from fines, col
lected in the police court in November,
December and January, about $780, This
amount would be sufficient to pay the
pension rolls for January and Feb
ruary, but after this the pensioners
would have to pro rata about 5000 per
month among them.
An effort is being made to have the
law changed by the legislature so that
more money will be allowed the men
On the pension roll, either by giving
them more than ten per cent of the
police court fines or two per cent Of the
liquor licenses. The scheme is being
talked up by those who are on the
pension roll.

PAY OF THE SHERIFF..
County Attorney Anderson Renders
an Opinion ON 1t

County Attorney Anderson in re-
Spouse to the request of Judge Willrich,
OF the probate court, for an opinion as
to the right Of the sheriff to collect
per diem fees and necessary expenses
for conveying insane patients to the
insane hospital upon commitment by
the probate court, has rendered an
opinion holding that no fees from the
county can be collected by the sheriff
for services rendered to the county
Mi, Anderson says that the sheriff is
entitled to a warrant from the probate
court for all necessary expenses actu-
ally incurred, but not to any per diem
fees. This opinion Is based on the as
sumption that the act of 1895, being
chapter 301 of the laws of 1895, is con-
stitutional. Pursuant to the provisions
Of that act, the board Of county commits
sioners Of Ramsey county, fixed the
sheriff's salary at $4,000 and in Mr.. An
derson's opinion, so long as that law
stands, and the sheriff accepts the
salary, he is not entitled to collect or
receive any fees from the county for
services rendered to the county.

NohAEmeO, VIII De fa1d.
The claim of Sarah A. Davidson for
81, 800, arising from the fact of the
city engineering department having
used lots belonging to her to store
lumber on, was before the assembly
committee on ways and means yester-
day. The petitioner owns lots in the
vicinity of the Robert street bridge
and claims that taxes on the property
are very large. The city for the past
six years has used the ground as
store yard, and she demands $500 per
year as rent The city engineer thought
$50 per year would be a big price and
Assistant Corporation Attorney Phillips
thought settlement could be made for
about $500. The matter was referred
to him for a settlement.
The comptroller sent in the audited
pay rolls of the street commissioners,
which had been held back owing to
the refusal of the board of public
works to approve the men until con-
firned by them. The committee passed
the rolls, amounting to $3.50.
