scco,.a Nationat Bank.

G. n. Mackubin, of Maryland, and E. S.
Edgerton, of New York, formed partnership
and commenced the business of banking in
st. Paul in 1858. Occupying an Office under
the old Winslow house at the Seven corners,
and doing business under the firm name of
Mackubin 81 Edgerton. July 4,
1857, they removed to the three
story stone building erected by
them at the corner of Third and Franklin
streets, afterwards known as the Cosmopoli-
tan hotel, and destroyed by fire in 1867
They dissolved partnership in 1858, Mr..
Edgerton continuing the business in his own
name. The same year he organized the
Peoples bank, of which he was the owner
and president, and D. A. Monfort was cash
Ter. This was perhaps the only one of the
numerous banks organized in this state at
about that time upon whose circulation the
public never suffered the slightest loss. In
1864 the business of the private banking
house of E. S. Edgerton was merged into
that of the Second National bank of st. Paul,
which was organized with Mr.. Edgerton as
president, John Nicols as vice president, and
D. A. Monfort as cashier, the Office being
removed to Ingersoll block, Bridge square
The bank was designated as United States
depository in 1866, and from that time has
been one of the leading fiscal agents of the
government in the west. Two years ago it
removed to its present location in McQuillan
block, where it occupies one of the most pleas
ant and comnfodous offices in The city. As
will be noticed from the foregoing account the
business of this bank has been longer estab-
lished under one continuous managem ent
than that of any other bank in this city or
state. It's present officers are S. E. Edgerton,
president; A. S. Cowley, vice president, and
ID. A. Monfort. cashier, and its board of di-
rectors consists of E. S. Edgerton, A. S.
Cowley, VIM. B. Dean, DR.. David Day, DIR.
F. r. Smith, C. w. Griggs, Peter Berkey, l.

At "a, East Third, has long been known as
the tourist cafe in the west, and it is due to
the sleepless watchfulness of Mr.. Eugene

balls, wedding receptions, etc. An extern

IMPORTERS AND WHOLESALE GRO GERS,
Corner of Third and Sibley streets, occupy
the mammouth buildings on this corner, and
transact the largest grocery business in the
northwest. They are undoubtedly the great
jobbing house in this line in this part of the
country, and we can say nothing in recon-
mendation of them which has not been said
already. The employment of their extern
sive capital in close buying for cash has al
ways enabled them to sell at bottom prices;
this has given them a name and prestige
among retail buyers which will carry them
eventually to one of the greatest grocery
trades in the Uaited States. They have sew
eral gentlemen who give their entire time
to this feature, which is after all the most
important branch of mercantile operations.
Close buying gives the retail sdealers practi-
cally the advantage of large capital and it
goes without saying that Figures talk"
Their establishment has also been arranged
with cousummate knowledge of the require
ments of the business and the incest regard
to the classification and assortment of goods
and we believe that an order for the entire
stocking up of a large retail store could be
filled, packed, marked and shipped in nine
or ten hours from its reception. All this in
dicates the methodical systematic manner in
which the business is run. No class of
goods from the finest lines of fancy groceries,
dried fruits, staples, etc. are missing in their
enormous stock The counting and sample
rooms are elegantly fitted and are models of
their kind and the most casual observer is
impressed with the rapidity with which bust
ness is transacted and how smoothly and
noiselessly the machine runs. All this has
been brought about by thoughtful and
wise management and attention TO
business. Mr.. P. II. Kelly is pres
ident of the company and is well
known all over the country, and his influence
is strongly felt in the business. Associated
with him in active personal attention to the
business are Mr.. Alfred Dufrene, vice presi
dent; Horace c. Gooding, treasurer; Alex
ander Barclay, secretary; Jerome Plat, j.
W. Cooper, and Warren Granger, directors,
each of these gentlemen are actively engaged
in some department of the business which
has grown enormously under their united
intelligent efforts In fact the whole estab-
lishment is but another instance Of which
capital coupled with energy and sleepless
push viii do when free scope is given to their
irresistible powers.

The Savings Bank of 81. Paul

Was organized in 1867 and is one of the
most useful institutions which we possess.
1t is almost more difficnlt TO save money than
to earn it, and even after it is saved we all
want a safe place to put it, not
where it will lie idle and unproductive,
but yielding profitable certain returns.
This has been provided for by our modern
savings banks, which are now managed by
conservated safe methods. The bank in
question has capital of $500 and a
surplus of IS, 600. The officers and trustees
are; Trustees: B. Presley, II. R. Brill. John
S. Prince, E. T. Drake, John A. Stees. Off
GERS: John s. Prince, president; Edward J.
Meier, assistant cashier; gentlemen we'll
known for business integrity and high char
acter. Five per cent interest per aIinum is
paid on all deposits of SIS and upward, and is
paid semi-annually, or can be left on de-
posit and will draw thereafter the same rate
of interest as the principal. Those desiring
to deposit small sums weekly are accom-
modated.

The Presidents Daughter.
Rambler.l

Miss Nellie Arthur reigns, supreme in the
White House, with French tutors aud wait
ingmaids her only encumbranees; and her
merry laughter and clear, sivery voice often
ring through the spacious rooms and halls.
Little Miss Nellie is not an aristocrat; in q
bevv of playmates she is almost as conspicu-
GUS as the most plainly attired. Her toilet
is always designed with view to stand the
rough usage 10 which its somewhat impetu-
Gus wcarer subjects it. Upon the lawn
tennis grounds Miss Nellie is in her element,
and proves herself graceful and accom-
plised player. In all the charitable enter
tainments and movements in which fash
ionable little folks can take part the presi-
dents daughter is prominent, and in the
gatherings among the children of the Cabinet,
the Diplomatic Corps and prominent official
circles little Nell'' is a leading spirit.

The operatta.

The attendance on Friday evening to hear
the operettas of ''Puss in Boots'' and ''The
Daisies, was good, but not as large as the
excellent rendition of the light, pleasing op-
erattas called for. The young misses were
well up in their parts, and the cats and kit
tens were as demure and innocent looking
as you can find anywhere. The singing in
the solos, duets, trios and cheruses were
nearly perfect. In ''The Daisies there was
some excellent acting, far superior to much
that is seen on the stage. The wierd panto-
mine of the waving of the daisies in storm
Yves capitally done and was heartily cheered.
All did well. Mrs. Stella Baker cannot but
be congratulated on the excellent display
her pupils made, and shows that she fully un-
derstands the musical training OF the young

One of the most successful and prosper
Gus corporations in the city or state is the
Bankers Life association, Office No. Is, Fire
d Marine building. Organized in 1850
with six members and proportionately
small reserve fund. The growth of the asso-
citation has been constant and rapid ever
since. At the close of the last fiscal year
aug. 81, 1854 the annual statement
shows net assets of $50, 903.73 with no la
bilties OF any nature. OF this amount S54.-
594. "a are invested in United States registered
bonds. The association has sustained only
eleven death losses during its four years of
active operations, which shows the careful
supervision which has been exercised in the
admission of new members. Three of those
losses were from accidental DEATH The
growth of the association can best be shown
by the following statement of the number of
certificates issued at the dates mentioned:

The ''Big Four" at the Opera house next
week. See what is said about them in an
other column of the GLOBE, as they have
been playing in st. Paul for three nights.
They give them good recommend. They
can make more amusement than any other
four travelling. The box Office win be opened
on Tuesday morning, and there will be a big
rush for seats on Wednesday evening. AS
there viii be many in the city attending the
fair get your tickets early.
1t gives US pleasure to announce that
there are the very best prospects for starting
manufacturing establishment in this city,
employing from 100 to 800 hands, pr1nci-
pally women and boys, in very short time.
The gentlemen who are at the head Of it have
been working quietly, and in two or three
days it will reach head. 1t is the manu-
facturer of sweat pads for horse collars, and
patent for the fastner to attach it to the
collar and harness, is held by a gentleman
here. Parties in st. Paul are making him
offers to go there, but there are those in this
city who do want such an establishment to be
here. We trust in few days to be able to
announce the completion of the final arrange
ment.
Here is something that is of particular in
terest of those having cattle, especially, as at
this season of the year they are apt to get
hold of potatoes and turnips, which are liable
to choke them. Among farmers and others
who have cattle, it is common practice
when one of their cattle chokes from a piece
OF turnip to use whip handle or some such
article and push the obstruction down into
the stomach, but lately veterinary surgeons
have been, using with success a new con-
trivance. 1t is said that necessity is the
mother of invention and it is true in this
case. He was called to see very valuable
COW that had got choked with piece of tur-
nip, and which he could not get either up or
down by any of the usual methods, so as a
| last resort he got piece of pretty heavy tele-
graph wire, and doubling it, so as to form a
loop, he made handle by twisting cord
| around the upper end. He then put the end
with the narrow loop down her throat, and
its small size allowed it to pass the obstruc-
ton, when he turned the wire partly round,
and the turnip was easily pulled up. He is
now using such method right along, and
invariably with success. On account of its
flexible nature it does not hurt the beast in
the least, no matter how much they try and
move their heads. Let the farmers cut this
out and keep it for reference.

trade in that neighborhood. He is the ex-
elusive st. Paul agent of the world famed
Peninsular base-burners and Peninsu-
lar cooking stoves. These goods
have become the public favorite and their
construction and equipment possess so many
points Of superiority that an inspection of
the goods alone arr sufficient to convince
any one, their stylish appearance and dura-
bility say more for them than volumes of
words. Nothing in the stove line in this
American market has earned such a reputa-
ton in so short time Mr.. Foos will give
customers figures and prices on these goods
at any time.
