STATE SAVINGS BANK.
The Only One of Its Kind and
Already Success.


Already a Success.
The State Savings Bank of st. Paul is
as yet new conner in the field. 1t was
organized in November last under the
law of the state, and took up its quar-
tiers IN the Germania Life building. 1t is
the only institution of the kind in the
city. 1t is a bank in which only the
treasurer receives compensation. The
trustees are all men of weight and in
fluence. and. under the rules of the
bank, are no. allowed to borrow from
the bank. They are representative
business men of town and argue
the success of the bank, which
has already exceeded their expectation.
Thomas Fitzpatrick came to st. Paul
years ago poor man. He was not,
however, the kind of man to let oppor-
tunities slip by him unimproved, and so
well did he appreciate the future of the
town that he is to-day man of indie
pendent wealth. MIR. Fitzpatrick is a
contractor and builder on large scale.
Some of the most beautiful and we'll
built buildings in the city are his work.
A. Ii. Wilder's Summit avenue home
was built under Mr.. Fitzpatrick's con-
tract. He owns some valuable property
in various parts of the city, notably a
home on Dayton avenue and business
block on Wabasha street. He is trus-
tee of the State Savings Bank of st.
Paul. and in every way has merited the
confidence Of the public in remarkable
degree,

success. With many people who
know him since his youth, this
is source of strength TO the bank. as
there is no more popular or respected
young man in the city than John Caul-
field. He once played in a band, of
which Vice President Prendergast was
also member. and the remembrance of
the stirring music they furnished still
fingers with many who are good
patrons of the bank to-day. A
st. Paul boy in every fiber of
his being, it has often been
commented upon as very strange that
he is still bachelor, but the eXplana-
ton given is that he has been so busy
nursing the growth of our splendid
water system that he has had no time
to daily with Cupid or chase the flying
hours in beauty'S close cOmpaniOnShiD.
The Savings Bank of st. Paul could
make no better choice of man to sit in
its board of directors.
John \. SteeS is another of the men
who cast their lots with st. Paul when
the city was in its infancy. ST. Paul
and he were young together. DIR.
Stees, like so many other prominent
men, was only clerk when he came
to Minnesota. He was a mere boy in
his teens when he first set feet in st.
Paul, but he had been here only four
years when ne went into business for
himself, and became one of the most i'm
DOrtant retail furniture dealers in this
part of the country. His real estat
interests have been steadily growing
till few years ago he retired from
business, and began to devote his time
TO the care of his own property. Mr..
Stees is one OF the pleasantest and most
transformations men in st. Paul. He
has always been a keen-sighted busl-
ness man, who cared so little for polltl-
cal prominence that he has never held
any public offices.
E. j. Meier, the cashier of the Savings
bank of st. Paul, is a fresh-cOmpleX-
Toned, hearty young man with ready
smile and cordial manner. Mr.. Meier
is st. Paul boy. He was born and
reared here. and received his education
at st. Paul business college. His con-
nectiOn with the bank dates back seven
teen years, when he entered the bank
ing business, a boy. Since then he has
risen step by step to the position of trust
and responsibility which he now
holds. He is most conScien-
tious worker and is always to be found
at his desk. He is a man fonder of
quiet domestic life than of the rush and
noise of politics. Indeed he takes al
most no interest in political affairs
whatever. He holds no Office, belongs
to no clubs and usually votes the Re-
publican ticket. He is fond of a good
game of base ball, but is above all q
thorough banker, likes his business and
understands it we'll.

ed by Experienced Men.
The Capital Bank of ST. Paul has a
Neli-estabhshed business that is a graf
flying success to the directorate. 1t
was started in 1880, when there was a
need and demand for conservative and
substantial banking houses in a boom
ing city. The men who organized it are
careful, conservative and thorough
business men. and they laid the fOunda-
ton in a modest but substantial way for
the transaction of legitimate bank
ing business. The officers who opened
its business were experienced bank
erS; they are not given to injudiciOuS
speculation either in or out of their line
of business. The bank was first opened
at 137 East Third street. and was Subse-
Quently removed to the Drake block,
where it remained until May of the
present year, when a removal was had
Gilfllan block at the corner
of jackson and Fourth streets.
1t has a capital stock of 100000 and
$4,000 surplus.
The most active man in its organiZa-
ton is l.. f. Reed, one Of the present
board Of directors. a successful lumber
dealer, and one of the oldest bankers in
the city, being vice president of the
First National bank. He was connected
with the old City bank. which was
merged into the present First National
bank, and he it was who conceived
the plan of starting the Capital
bank. Mr.. Reed has laid up a hand
some fortune, but has retired from
active business in his extensive lumber
operations. He still keeps his interest
in the Anoka sawmills and in timber
lands, and is large owner of st. Paul
real estate. He is 4 careful. cOnscien-
tiOus business man. Nj. Reed was born
in Massachusetts in 1880, and came to
St. Paul in 1851 and went to Long Prai-
RE with a missionary and worked on a
farm. His first work in st. Paul was to
build a fence around the lot Of Gov.
Ramsey: he went to work on the farm

years. He engaged in the banking bus

WEST SIDE BANK.
An Old Concern With Good Rec
ord and Bright Future.

Among the fiourishing financial insti-
buttons of the city, none is more worthy
of mention than the West Side bank.
This bank was organized in 1856 with a
capital of $4,000, increased in the fol-
lowing year to 100000. The original
officers were Joseph Minea, prcsi-
dent; A. NJ. Lawton, vice presi-
dent, and George Hosmel, cashier.
They have continued in office up to the
present, and have succeeded in building
up one of the most sturdy banking In
stitutIons of the city. The first directors
were D. d. Merrill. j. w. Bishop, A. NJ.
Lawton, S. c. Staples, George III. Hos
mer Joseph Minea, II. L. Moss, George

one of which West St Paul is and may
well be proud. 1t has surplus of

IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES.
Firms and Individuals Ranking
Hiph in the Monetary World.

The firm of r. NJ Newport & Son is
known not only in st. Paul and the
Northwest. but very largely in Eastern
cities. The Messrs. Newport are ell
gagged in the business of lending money
on mortgages in st. Paul Minneapolis
and in Duluth. The firm under its
present name has been in business
since 1886, the senior partner having
been engaged in the loan and real es-
tate business for some years before.
The business of the firm, beside loan
ing money on mortgages. with ION or

The SO-CaIIcd Modern Ideas Of
E,.ucatiOn,

The opinion held by many people who
have never had their attention especially
turned to the work of Jean Jacques Rou-
sseau is not that he was benefactor of
his kind. but in reality he was one OF the
first apostles of the modern methods of
education, aud it is only after all this
lapse,of years that his ideas have come to
be widely adopted. 1t is he who once
said that we come into the world ignor-
ant, but with esp rcIty; that education
begins at birth; that We learn Incredibly
IN the first years; and that impre sions
should be presented in the right order;
that the first cry of child is a request,
the second command; that destructive.
ness in child is not cruelty, but activity
that the sin of children is their weakness,
that strength brings about virtue, and
he who can do all things will never do
wrong things. This we see to be IN
doubtedly good reasoning in the light
thrown on the subject OF late years; and
understanding now how greatly our chill
dren are affected by what they see us to
be, We comprehend more fully what
Thales meant when he said that men
must live in the consciousness that all
around them is filled with gods, aud that
this should keep them more chasUe than
if they were in the hottest of temples

THE PICKPOCKET'S ART.

There is no class of ARTISTS" said a
renowned thief" who in their calling
are as dexterous as pickpockets. THIS
is due to double incentive, Not only
does your pickpocket find bait for
effort and e1ertion IN success, but has
the added spur of fear of failure, Succ-
ess means as much to a pickpocket as to
any man, and failure means great deal
more. A vocation in which the slightest
slip means loss of liberty, and perhaps
of life, will ever be apt to have degree
of experiences in it's followers not present
in more reputable and safer avenues of
trade.
'Pickpockets, like poets, are born. not
made. Their nerves must be iron and
yet as sensitive as instinct. Their hands
must as complete in make up and as &C
complished as Hermann,s, and strong as
as steel and light as down. Out of the
vast army of humanity who are soldiers of
the shadows only one-fourth of per
cent. can or do become pckpockets.
These form the nobility of thieves, and
are reverenced by the burglar, she foot
pad the sneak, and the con man as
of higher class than they. The prac-
sice of 8 piokpockec while not really at
work is as constant as that of some fam
cd professor of the violin or harp. lie
keeps pace with the procession. No
sooner does some jeweler invent new
fastening for diamond pins or studs than
these men of finest touch devise the mo-
ton which eyads its purpose.

does is to be over in a flash. Speaking
of pins aud studs, there has has never

ever has such time with her nerves as

When he does, I've known one on the i'm

steps out of the way. Tue whole affair

CORN, WHEAT AND OATS.

The Product of 1890 and Condition of the
Growing Crops.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE estimates
of the products of corn, wheat and oats,
of 1890, as completed by the statstician
of the Department of Agriculture, make
corn aggegate 1,4S9, $40, 600 bushels,
wheat 800, 262, 900 bushels, oats 523. 621,
900 bushels.
The area Of corn. which was slightly
increased in planting, was reduced by
utter failure and abandonment by more
than G, 900, 900 acres, the area harvested
being 7I,970,76 acres. The average
yield per acre was 207 bushels, and the
supply for consumption per head of pop
ulation is % bushels, or II bushels less
than last year. The result of very severe
drought.
The aggregate wheat area is 81, 0e7, 154
acres, nearly the same as in 1876, aud
the yield per acre Ill bushels. These
are measured bushels, of a quality grad
ing somewhat lower than usual, the
weight of which will be given in the
March report. Past records have shown
that the annual difference in weight of
the crop are not often more than pound
| above or below the average weight for
series of years, the lowest for seven
years being sos in 1888, and the highest
5S.5 in 1887. The yield per acre is the
same as in 1888. wien the products was
nearly 416, 100000 bushels and. with
two exceptions. is the lowest rate during
the past decade.
The area in oats was 26, All, 800 acres,
! and the yield per acre was 1913 bushels.
This is only "A per cent. of the average
| of ten years past, which was rs bushels
and the smallest rate of yield ever repor-
| ted by this office.
The December condition of the grow
| ing wheat crop is returned OF 9S.4 and of
rye 80. This is better than December
returns for two years past. Along the
Atlantic coast a slight depreciation is
noted as the result of excess of moisture
in some localities, making planting late
and giving rather small growth before
the advent of freezing weather. In the
OHIO Valley the season was generally
favorable for seeding and early growth,
and the plant entered winter quarters
IN promising condition. Some damage
was done by the Hessian fly, especially
in early sown fields. Condition in Mis-
souri, aud Kansas was variable, local in
jury from drought and fly combining to
somewhat reduce the State averages.

Chasing EVIL Spirits.

a very curious custom is that called
the woman's hut which prevails among
some of the aboriginal tribes OF Chota
Nagpore India. 1t is observed when
ever any calamity falls upon the con-
munity-such as, perhaps, a visitation
Of cholera.
The women put Oh mems clothes,
take up arms and go a-hunting-not
in the junCles. but in the nearest vii
lage east of them. They chase pigs
ana fowls, take as their own every
thing they kill and levy blackmail
from the heads OF t . villages for the
purchase OF liquor, or else they allow
themselves to be bought of for a small
sum Of money ana a pig.
Toward evening the hunting party
retire to stream, cook and cat their
meal. drink their liquor and then re-
turn home, having acquitted them
selves during the day il a thoroughly
masculine and bo,sjcrou5 mann er.

ed goes on Z similar excursion TO the
next village east of it, and 50 on TO the
eastern border Of the district. By this
series of excursions it is supposed the

Cure FIR l'archcl LANDS.

Nearly every woman knows the
sensation of waking up in the morn
ing with palms parchcd by the dry
ness Of her skin. and fingers feeling
stiff and hard to bend. In winter it is
easy to remedy this by using some
sort OF pcrfumed ointment for anoint-
ing the hands and sleeping with them
incased in pair OF old loose kid
gloTes. This is too hot for summer,
and those who attempt the bleaching
process at this season OF the year will
find that even in their sleep they strip
of the covering surely but uncon-
sciously. Now a pleasant AMI conve-
nient treatment is to battle ones hands
just before retiring. Use water as
hot as the flesh can comfortably stand
it, with white CASTLE soap. and after
cleansing cool the hands with a tepid
bath. Then after shoes and stockings
are removed and one is about to step
into bed, take a piece of raseline and
rub in briskly, greasing palms.
fingers and backs alike. The first
night this may be found tritie an
noying. but, there not being sufficient
to rub Off, it becomes a pleasant laxa-
tive to the skin. and in the morning
one wakes with cool. moist palms and
smooth, supple fingers.
