IConclave, Improved Order Heptasophs,
a number Of whom attended the SER
vices.
Henry l.. Townsend, a prominent
stock broker, Of Philadelphia, is an
uncle Of the deceased.
MR.. TOWNSEND'S LIFE.
Alfred &. Townsend was born near
Wilmington, Del. thirty-four years
ago. and resided on the farm with his
parents until about eleven years ago,
when he entered the employ f the
Reading railway as an assistant at the
station at NorristowR. Remaining
there a short time he became passenger
brakeman, then baggagemaster and on
to a conductorship, in which capacity
he was serving when he met his end.
On June 25. 1890, Mr. Townsend was
united in marriage to Miss Emma
Chance, Of Cordova, Nd
Some five years ago Mr.. and Mrs
Townsend and their eldest child (then
a baby), came to Newhope, and friends
they have made Of the most sincere
kind, and friends they have proved to
those who had the good fortune to
know them.
Having received his education at the
High School in Wilmington, and being
Of an unusually bright and perceptible
nature. his advancement and popularity
were a matter OF course. He was a
man with whom one never came into
contact and forgot. An impression Of
sincerity and earnestness character
ICED all his dolngs.
THE RAILROADERs' VIEWS.
Probably no one thing characterizes
the honorableness OF the railroad mans
profession 80 much as his loyalty and
devotion to his fellow men in the SER
vice. When the word went forth that
Conductor Townsend was dead, many
a brave man who would have faced
death himself without fiinching wiped
away tear and said. "Por AL. Town
send" His subordinates looked up to
and respected him with devotion that
few men can command. His equals
were proud to proclaim him a member
OF their ranks. His superior had every
confidence in him. a prominent railroad
official saying when we called Con-
ductor Townsend for duty he always
responded; when he said he would do
a thing he always did it," The public
knew him always as a gentleman; a
man who had a kindly manner which
was never mistaken.
No higher tributes can be paid any
man, living or dead, and in the loss OF
Alfred Townsend we can but take an
example Of what one man was Nc
monument erected to his memory car
prove so lasting as the words OF tender
regard uttered by his many friends.

business recently has been due entirely to
the safe and conservative methods 1t has
pursued since 1t was organized eight years
ago, and which have gained for 1t the
confidence of all classes of depositors.
This is notably true of what is generally
known as the smaller depositors, the per-
sens whose means enable them to put
away only a few dollars at a time. This Is
the only bank I'm st. Paul strictly for saw
ings It's business is managed under state
supervision, and it is controlled by
board of trustees, whose names are as
strong a guarantee of safety and good
management as the most exactfng could
ask for. 1t is noteworthy fact that none
of the trustees and officers except the
secretary receive any compensation for
their services; they are under bond to
the state for the faithful performance of
their duties and are under no circum-
stances to borrow the banks money,
which they simply have in trust for the
people.
The officers who have made the bank
what it is and are known for their in
tegrity are: Ferdinand Willius president;
John D. Ludden, vice president, and
Julius NJ. Goldsmith, treasurer.

Mrs. A. w. Lancaster's select school of
shorthand occupies the attractive and
well-lighted suite of rooms entered
through Room No. 45. From this school
some of the most expert and successful
stenographers and typewriters in the
Northwest have graduated during its four
years existence. The superior equipment
of the graduates above those of some
other institutions is due to the fact that
Mrs. Lancaster gives personal instruc-
ton to each individual pupil, and avoids
class work, which is less satisfactory in
its results Mrs. Lancaster has been
particularly impressed with the demand
for private lessons in shorthand, and she
has made special feature of this branch
of the work. There are many persons who
wish to learn stenography but who do
not care to take lessons publicly, and
to these Mrs. Lancaster gives instruc-
tons, either at her headquarters or at
their homes in perfect private. Mrs. Lam
caster also fills orders for piece work,
shorthand and typewriting to order. Her
school has the patronage of the best
known people in st. Paul and vicinity.
