WASTE PAPER BOXES Ai.nicinivvic committee on STREETS TAKES A WHIRL AT SEVEN ORDINANCES MOST OF THEM ARE LAID OVER Mr. Iv ribs, of Chicago, Thinks It Sin gular That His Proposition . Should Be Laid Over, bat In Re iisNiirvd by the Committee — BUI Board Ordinance Passed by the Assembly Is Put to Sleep. The nldermanic committee on streets took up the seven ordinances granting privileges to flrms and persons to erect and maintain waste paper boxes on the street corners at a meeting- yesterday afternoon. All the ordinances with the exception of the ones granting the rights to Scannell & Schiffman and Harry C. Krlbs were disposed of in a bunch by being laid over. Then Aid. Reeves handed in a substitute ordinance in the place of the one presented to the coun cil by Scannell & Schiffman. The sub stitute ordinance gave the local com pany the exclusive right for a period of ten years and provided that 15 per cent of the annual gross income derived from placing 1 advertisements on the boxes would be paid into the city treasury. The company was also to give a bond in the sum of $5,000 to save the city from any damages. Aid. Reeves moved that the substi tute be recommended to pass, and Aid. Murphy seconded the motion. Aid. Bloomquist on the roll call objected to the provisions of the substitute ordi nance, claiming that the Kribs ordinance only gave the privilege for five years and that was long enough to give any-" company to experiment. The roll call on the motion to recommend the ordi nance to pass was defeated by. a tie vote, Messrs. Bell, Murphy and Reeves voting for such recommendation and Messrs. Sanborn, Bloomquist and Shep ard against it. The vote was then re considered and Mr. Scannell Informed the committee that he would agree to the suggestion of Aid. Bloomquist as to the privilege being for five years only. ENGINEER GIVEN AUTHORITY. The First ward alderman then sug gested that the city engineer or some other department be given the right to order the boxes located. This amend- ment was also agreed to, except that Mr. Scannell wanted the company's rights protected, and after discussion it was amended so as to give the city engineer ■ authority in case objections were mad,? by occupants of buildings to remove tha boxes to less objectionable localities. ;J This, however, did not remove all the' objections Aid. Bloomquist had to the or dinance. He called attention to the fact that there was no provision which re quired the company to file with the. comptroller a statement showing the in-" come from the advertisements to b3* placed on the boxes. Mr. Scannell agreed to the suggestion, and then on motion of Aid. Sanborn the substitute was re ferred back to Aid. Reeves to redraft) and amend in accordance' with the sug gestions and report the same at the'meet ing of the board Tuesday evening. - H. C. Kribs, of Chicago, who had an ordinance agreeing to pay 15 per cent of the gross income for a five-year priv ilege, inquired if the committee was go ing to shut out his proposition. Mr. Kribs was informed that he could take his ordinance and have It changed to suit and report it back at the meeting of the board Tuesday night. ORDINANCE PUT TO SLEEP. The bill board ordinance passed by the assembly some weeks ago was put to sleep by the committee oy a vote of three to two. Aid. Murphy moved the ordinance be Indefinitely postponed, and backed up by the votes of Aids. Bell and Reeves the motion carried. Messrs. Sanborn and Shepard voted against this action. Aid. Bloomquist had retired fore the matter was reached. The or dinance held the council responsible for the granting of permits for the erection of bill boards, taking the authority from the building inspector. An ordinance was recommended to pass granting to J. W. McHose a twenty five-year lease at $1 per year to lots 1. 3, 4 and 5, block C, . Rob?rtson's add!-. tion to West St. Paul. The lots are on the levee to the east of the Wabasha street bridge, and McHose is to have erected within twelve months a building 60 by 235 feet and is to operate the manu factory of bed springs and mattresses, employing not less than twenty-five per,' sons. » A similar ordinance, granting J. J. Dan ner the same privilege for lot 5 and half of lot 4, block 4, Robertson's addition, was recommended to pass. Mr. Dannev agreed to employ not leps than fifteen men in the manufacture of iron and wire fences. The ordinance granting to the North western Telephone company the right to erect poles and string wires on certain streets with the proviso that there should be no toll charges for telephonic com munication when subscribers of the company in St. Paul desired to talk to Minneapolis was-recommended to pass. A resolution authorizing the Mississip pi Valley Telephone company to put in conduits on Third street, from Cedar to Fort streets, and on West Seventh, from Third to Chestnut, and to erect poles and wires on Eaton avenue, between Plato and South Robert street, and on South Robert street, from the viaduct to An napolis street, was recommended to pass. . A communication of the city engineer calling attention to the damage done the paved streets by the hauling of the heavy blocks used in the new capitol was re ferred to the corporation attorney and city engineer. $18.45 Chicago to New York; and Return Via Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.

' D. "W. Ringer?, residing at 201 Midway avenue, on the West side, secured a per mit from the building inspector yester day to erect a $700 barn on the rear of his lot. For the past year Mr. Ringer has been endeayoMngf to build his barn, but so many obstacles has been placed in his way that when he was granted the permit yesterday ;he was not only surprised, but delighted. . . . In October .last Mr. Ringer started in to enlarge his barn from a 10x12 struc ture to a story and a half commodious edifice. In order to avoid trouble he se cured a permit from the building inspect or to move the small building and add an addition. As the work was about to be commenced Aid. Bell, who resides next door to the Ringer property, discovered that it was the intention of Mr. Ringer to construct the barn within a few feet of the alderrnanic homestead. In order to prevent this an ordinance was rushed through the council amending the ordi nance relating to the building of barns so that it was necessary to secure the signatures of all the owners of prop erty in the block on which the barn was to be constructed before a permit could Mr. Ringer concluded that as he had a permit he would go ahead and build with out paying any attention to the new ordinance. He engaged a carpenter, and the work was started, but the carpenter waa arrested on a warrant sworn out by the building inspector, and brought before the police court for a violation of the ordinance. The case was dismissed, and recently Christain Raun, the car penter, commenced an action in the dis trict court against S. H. Haas and John Christenson, building inspector and dep uty inspector, for $10,000 damages for his ;vrrest. That, however, is another story growing out of the buiiding of the Ringer barn. During the past summer Ringer has en deavored to bring influence to bear on the powers that be in order to secure permission to erect his barn, but seem ingly without success. It is possible that the dismissal of the suit brought against the building inspector and hfe deputy, to be announced later, may have figured in the issuance of the permit yesterday, but anything in this connection was denied by the parties interested. The permit issued was specifically word ed and authorized the building of a barn lengthwise on the northwest corner of lot 14, block 4, Woodbury & Case's addition, ten feet from the north line and two feet from the west line of the lot. This makes the barn something over twelve feet from >;the residence of Aid. Bell, and in order to obtain this concession Mr. Ringer had to agree to locate the stalls for his steeds in a manner directed by the Sixth ward alderman. FORTI'XE IX A PLAY. "Shenundoah" Has Given Howard Over $10.0,00.0 in Royalties. It was In 1889, almost a decade ago, that the first run of "Shenandoah" occurred at McVicker's theater. Now history is re peating itself after ,a fashion not com monly observed in these fickle days when tho public squeezes the juice out of a new play in a hurry, and then flings it away with contemptuous disdain. To have gained, a new lease of life at this remote day, after long ago enriching a dozen men, is a record not common in theatrical history. Once shelved, it is exceedingly difficult to restore a play to circulation, and while "Shenandoah" was revived in spectacular __ style several years ago the rule held good in a manner not at all pleasing to the managers, while Bronson Howard, the author, is said to have concluded that his play was, indeed, a back number, not likely to yield any additional profit. Yet the times change and we change with them. The war against Spain en gendered a new spirit, and the old fa miliar glories of "Shenandoah" seemed to be precisely what the people wanted to place them in touch with the military spirit that prevails. Noi In Chicago alone, but in a dozen other towns, has the play met with favor, and it is rumored that Mr. Howard, having reduced his royalties to a very small sum total in the belief that the play had ceased to be valuable property, is now a victim of unavailing regret. But he can well afford to look wit'i indifference upon any losses of this nature. "Shpnandoah" long ago yielded him a liberal fortune, amounting, even if we decline to accept the more exaggerat ed rumors, to a sum so substantial that he has been free from the necessity of literary labor ever since the first success of the play. The royalties paid on this drama have been variously estimated at from $100,000 to $200,000, a greater sum than any other American or English dra matist has ever received for a single play. No wonder Mr. Howard is content to rest on his oars since this fortunate venture in play construction. "Aristocracy" is his only important effort since "Shenan doah" and "The Henrietta," and as it was not fused into artistic proportions by the white heat of necessity, that play was not a decided success. Indeed, this amiable gentleman has not been a prolific writer. "Saratoga" andj'"Phe Banker's Daugh ter" were his eatlier successes, while "Young Mr. Winthrop," "The Henrietta," and "Shenandsa.h" J fill out the list of plays that have gfv^n him fame and for tune. Yet had.he Written no other plays than "The Henrietta" and "Shenandoah" his fortune would have been assured. The former enriched Robson and Crane, prov ing by far the best money maker these comedians ever had during the period when they played in company. "Shenan doah," which was considered almost a failure when first produced in Boston, gave Charles Prohman his opportunity, and proved to be the stepping stone to that important managerial position which he now occupies.

" ' RABBI IS ELOQUENT IMPRESSIVE AND INSTRUCTIVE AD DRESS DELIVERED AT THE MT. ZION SYNAGOGUE LEGEND OF TWO BROTHERS A Beantifnl Illustration Replete With the Oriental Grace of the Far East—Each Discovers the Other In a Kindly Act, and In Tears Both See the Light of lure Itniiin-il) Love and Affection. An audience which completely filled the synagogue of Mt. Zion congregation, Cedar and Tenth streets, last night lis tened to an add-ress from Rabbi Isaac L. Rypins, who has recently come to the congregation from Evansvllle, Ind., In which he established relations between himself and his new charge, and won the approval and appreciation of his hearers with a discourse based on the function of the modern preacher. His address was simple and instructive, yet eloquent and impressive, and created a most favorable impression. The service was made the more beautiful by the" music of a full choir, and was characteristically marked with devotion and sincerity. Rabbi Ryp ins chose a subject well calculated to establish a bond of sympathy with his people, and In its development showed careful exactness and a degree of kindly feeling which was sincerely appreciated. He said in part: '•In the mountain lands of Asia are the sources of two rivers, which, though each wends a separate course until near the Persian gulf and zigzags in every direc tion, ultimately join again and reach the sea in one broad, rolling stream. Not unlike these two watercourses were the two mig'htly Influences which found their origin In the height of Israel's religious supremacy, and have wielded a dominant power upon spiritual progress since that time. Beginning with the life of Moses, dates the dual idea of Israel's theocracy, the priestly code and the prophetic voice. The past career of our people is checker ed, yet through all its course, these two ideas have prevailed, in power and in fluence, though widely separate through many centuries. When the sacerdotal cult rose to prominence, then the prophet hushed his voice to silence. Had the cult prevailed there is no choice, but that Israel would have been absorbed in the land from whence it sprung. "This is an hour of importance to all of us. I am not here to discourse of past things, but to bring to you the prop er understanding of the position of the modern preacher, and to define the atti tude which, in our new relation. We are to assume to each other. . The words of the prophet, "Behold I have given thee as a watchman to the house of Israel," are the inspiration of those who stand in my relation to you. -JSW "A tacit understanding pervades every Jewish community, which defines the position. of a rabbi. Those of us who stand in that-relation to you are not arbiters of right and wrong, but stand in the -light of those who proclaim truth as we understand it from the pulpit to use our endeavors to bring the happy dawn of the day of righteousness, to hasten the culmination of the victories of truth. Ours is to visit the sick and af flicted, to bring gladness where there is sorrow, to bring unto our people the truest sympathy of our hearts." . . "There is an ancient legend of two brothers who cultivated a none too fer tile strip of earth, and each season in i brotherly; love make equitable division of the fruits of their toil. In time one mar ried, and God gave him children. Sitting in his house one nght he thought of the single brother, lacking the blessings of home, and the happiness of a companion of his heart, and resolved to make a division of his half of the fruits .of the earth, to compensate him for the loss The other brother thought of the added responsibilities which his brothers shoulders carried, and made the same generous resolve. Each discovered the other in his kindly act, and in tears both saw the light of pure brotherly love and affection. Upon this spot was after wards reared by King Solomon the grandest temple which the world has ever seen devoted to religious uses "That was the hill of Mt. Zion Our congregation is rightly named, and shall be planted, indeed, on a hill, if you ren der to me and I to you the just dues of our different relations with each other." ' —»■ ' The New Torpedo.

The Minnesota Cereal Food company commenced an action yesterday in district court against Horejs Bros, to recover $r-00 for an alleged breach of contract. It appears, according to the complaint, that one Jorgen Simmons, the maker of a patent flour, was anxious to introduce his bread in St. Paul. To this end, it is alleged that he made a contract with the defendants to advertise and sell the bread made from his flour. This agreement, he claims, was not carried out. Simmons' rights were transferred to the plaintiff. RHODE PROTESTED. Dented That He Was Drunk, and Other Cases Were Continued. Herman Rhode, who lives on Dale street near the city limits, appeared be fore Judge Hine in police court yester day charged, on complaint of Patrolman Salverda, with drunkenness and shooting off,firearms inside the city limits. He made an earnest denial and was acquit ted of the drunk charge. The trial on tho other complaint was continued until today. BUSY AT THE FAIR. This.
