powers that be at Washington, and has
actively worked upon all measures be-

On Sept. l, 1892, E. l.. Danforth was
called to the secretaryship and manage

MIR. Danforth Leaves the Cub
with the good wishes of its membership
and the community. He is accredited
as being an active and successful man,
and he has worked untiringly 10 help
bring about the full measure OF success
and usefulness for which the St Paul
club is SO conspicuous.
The Minneapolis club was organized
about two years ago; but, owing to its
being unable to secure suitable hous-
ing, did not get fully under way until
the early part of last April. Its mem-
bership is large and representative,
numbering about 1000 of the brightest
and most energetic men of the city. 1t
enters upon its career determined to
keep pace with its sister city club, and
has already accomplished much in the
way of public Work. Its elegant and

such as Mr.. Danforth will place 1t at
once upon sound working basis.

welfare of the Twin Cities cannot but
result III still more valuable results for
the commercial and material welfare Of
Minneapolis and st. Paul, and Of the
