The New York Restaurant Fur
nishes a Good Square Meal
Cheaply.
The New York restaurant began
business at AS Jackson street five years
ago, under the direction of its present
proprietors. A. II. Self and p. Stein
berger. A prosperous trade has been
established by tact, perseverance. in
dustry and capable management. Like
most enterprising concerns this one has
adopted electricity, using it for
illuminating and propelling theiT
fans in warm weather. The New York
claims to be the only restaurant
in the city which serves a good meal at
an extremely low figure. The estab.
lishment is cleanly and well kept, and
the cuirine is of good quality. Mr.. Selb
is Canadian, was born in 1868, coming
to st. Paul in 1878. He has always been
engaged in his present business. Mr..
Steinberger is a German. twenty-six
years old, and came to ST. Paul in 1875.
Mr.. Steinberger is the cook of the es-
Enlistment, and was in the employ OF
MIR. Magee, the popular caterer. and
served an apprenticeship of five years
MIR. Selb looks after the purchasing and
financial end of the business, and is o

But the Firm of Mcclure & Null
rooney Is Growing Justify.
The wholesale commission business
of Messrs. Mcclure q Mulrooney was
established eighteen months ago. Mr..
McGuTe had an experience of more
than six years in the commission bust
ness, While his partner, Mr.. Null
rooney,put in ten years with Gerraghty
81 Mulrooney at Rosemount. The bust
ness of this firm has increased very
rapidly, the business of the second year
showing at least 100 per cent in excess
of that of the first year, and is con-
stantly increasing. Mr.. Mcclure is a
native of iowa, and was born in 1853.
He came to st. Paul in 1884. Mr.. Null
rooney was born at Rosemount, Minn.,
in 1860. Mr.. Mcclure was with Boxie
& Jaeger four years, where he had
charge of the jObbing trade as sales
man. This house is represented on the
road by Mr.. W. p. Burke, an expert
enced salesman. The firm makes a spe-
cialty of car lots. The success attend
ing Messrs. Mcclure q Mulrooney is
well-merited. Both gentlemen stand
well in commercial circles. They are
honest and industrious, progressive and
persevering. There is not the slightest
doubt that the success already attained
is but small thing to the bright pros
poets the future has in store.

fan attachment, which is employed in
cooling the atmosphere during warm

The Edison Electric Light and
Power Company the First of Its
Kind.
The Edison Electric Light and Power
Company of st. Paul was Incorporated
in 1886 and began running in 1887, under
the management of Samuel A. Grocer.
who continued manager until 1888, and
was succeeded by the present general
manager. Mr.. e. Ii. Finn, who is also
secretary ana treasurer. The Edison is
r the pioneer electrical company of st.
Paul and one of the first large stations
in the country. 1t began with 5000 in
candescent lights and two or three
horse power motors. and has increased
until 1T now operates $1,000 lights and
over 300 horsepower motors, 200 of
which were placed within the past
eighteen months. Among others this COM
pany has had the contract for the light
lug of the Ryan hotel for the past three
years; also the Globe building, the old
Pioneer Press building, the union depot,
the Minnesota club, the G.. w. Hackett
building and the Clarendon hotel
In the union depot they furnish eight
cen arc lights on the incandeScent cir
cult, feat not heretofore successfully
accomplished elsewhere, arcs being
usually run on circuit of very high
voltage. Arcs so operated are no more
dangerous to handle than the ordinary
Edison circuit. They also give a beau
tiful and steady light. This company
does the great bulk of lighting through
out the city, and at least 80 per cent of
all the motive power. The motive
power is furnished through the low
tension light circuit, which has prOba-
bly, been appreciated by users as free
from danger, as well as very reliable.
There is constantly growing demand
for the application of electricity for
motive purposes, such as propelling
sewing machines, grinding coffee. ele-
vatOrs, ice cream machines. printing
presses, cash railways, etc.
George ii. Finn was born in New Jer-
sey, 1859, and came to st. Paul in 1888 to
assume the management of the Edison
company when it was at a low ebb. BY
his persistent energy and capable man
agement the company has been raised to
nigh prestige. The company has met
with no accident or obstacle which
caused it to suspend operations. True,
the current was closed few hours OIL
Sunday for repairs, notice, however,
having been given to patrons in advance.
The company has always in reserve two
15O-horse-power engines running four
dynamos, and also a reserve in boilers.
Total capacity. six 15O-horse-power tubu-
lar, two l50-horse-power water tube and
six l50-hOrse-power buckeye" engines.
The Edison force, including engineers,
firemen and office help, comprises about
twenty-five men. The beautiful light
and color effects which can be produced
by the incandescent light were amply
illustrated by the illumination on Third
street during fair week; the dome, the
star, the sickle, the anchor, were all
productions Of the Edison company.

NrVEIGH BROS.
Testify to the Benefits They Re-
ceiye From Electricity.


The McVeigh Bros, of 81 East Third
street, take great pleasure in acknowl-
edging the benefits derived from cleo
tricity, both as to light and power In
their restaurant and bakery they use
the arc electric light, which makes the
room as bright as day, and run their
fans by electric power. By doing so
they have caused the dining room to be
ventilated thoroughly, so much so that
they exhaust the air three times every
minute. This does away with all smoke,
hot air or Odor of any kind, besides leav-
ing the room cool and pleasant, making
1t one of the incest dining rooms III the
city. McVeigh Bros. would be pleased
to show parties wishing to see their
rams IN operation at any time during the
day at 81 East Third, between Cedar and
Minnesota. McVeigh Bros. also an
nounce that parties desiring cakes, pas
try and ice cream that they keep the
finest line of the kind in the city. No
pretentions are made of competing with
parties using poor quality of flour in
making their goods. McVeigh Bros.
use the best material that can be bought,
as any wholesale or retail merchant will
substantiate. Their prices are moder-
ate compared with the quality of goods
sold. In the restaurant you will find
everything in season-game. poultry,
oysters, fish, etc. Cleanliness, quick
service, gentlemanly walters and mod
crate prices is the motto. All that is
asked is a trial. G. III. McVeigh was
born in Cincinnati. o., in 1858. Z. 2.
McVeigh saw the light of day at Cow
ington. KY, in 1862. Both brothers
came to st. Paul in 1886, when their
