business when there's an excursion of that
body. George Thompson, one of the vice
presidents, is comparative stranger in st.
Paul, but in his capacity of business man.
ager for the Dispatch has show capacity
for rustling which shows up well in the in
creaSlng advertising patronage every day.
MI. Thompson is an Englishman and
has seen a good deal of the world. He is
the real originator of the carnival enterprise
and has showed considerable skill in walk
ing st. Paul up to an appreciation of the
practicability and desirability of the scheme.
Aid. Van Slyke, the other vice president.
divides his affections pretty evenly between
his family and the city; altough of late
years he has rather given the city the lions
share of the attention. The park system
of the city rests almost entirely upon his
shoulders and he is far in advance of most of
his fellow townsmen in his ideas on this
subject If he could only have things his
way there would be more parks in the city
than there are now. j. w. McClung, the
secretary, is one of ST. Paul's best boomers.
He can tell you where all the railroads are
coming in, where they are going to, and
how they are going to be direct feeders OF
st. Paul to the exclusion of every other city.
Albert Scheffer. the treasurer, is the fore
most man in the city and the state OF the
German nationality. He is partner of the
famous Bank OF Minnesota, which the
Pioneer Press proclaims to be the
headquarters of the Democratic party and
all manner of iniquity, and yet considered
him the only available candidate for the
Republican nomination for congress. Mr..
Scheffer would probably have made good
congressman if he had been nominated and
al icn rfoiy, hnx III aolyo
and efficient treasurer. Mr.. T. D. Schur-
meier, one of the directors of the associa-
ton, is also German, and between them
both the association ought to count upon
the enthusiastic aid of the descendants of
that fatherland whose people know so well
how to enjoy themselves. The general
manager, A. S. Tallmadge, is another bust
ness hustler, one of the most prominent
members of the jobbing fraternity, and he
can give you more tips Oh how to run
jobbers' excursions than any other man in
the business, not excepting Mr.. Finch. Of
course the hotel men. Col. Allen and Dennis
Ryan, are on the directory, as it is proper
they should be. They are both devoted to
st. Paul, and the fact that the carnival will
indirectly put money into their pockets will
not make them any the less sOlicitous for
it's success. D. r. Moves is ready at any
time to lift up his voice for the benefit or
protection of the Young Mems Christian
association, the church, the city of st. Paul
or the drug business. in all of which persua-
sions he is firm believer and an ardent
worker. If you want to talk with man
who is actually insane on the subject of st.
Paul go and see FL. S. Fairchild. He has a
right to be so. for it is just out of his con-
fidence in the city that he has made his
money, and woe to any man who in his
presence dares to intimate that St. Paul
isn't destined to be the city of the CONT
nent. Robert Manufacturer is at the head Of
the leading retail house in the Northwest in
his line of business, and while he has large
interests in Chicago, New York and else
where, is firm believer in st. Paul. L.

the board, at the head of a strong whole
