Interesting * Speeches by
Prominent Men of the
Twin Cities.
*
The appreciation in which Pres
ident John McCall. of .the New York
Life Insurance, is held by the. business
men of the Twin.Cities.. was testified
yesterday afternoon, when a luncheon
was tendered' him by Messrs. J. H.
Gregory and . J:; J. Parker. The
luncheon took place at the- Min
nesota club, and, devoid of all
formality, was of the most enjoyable
character* All walks of business life
were represented, and represented, too,
by the acknowledged leaders therein.
Mr. McCall, as is well known, was re
cently appointed president of the New
York Life Insurance company, and he
is just now paying a: personal visit to
the Northwest to investigate the com
pany's investments. The citizens of
St. Paul and Minneapolis have an un
usual interest therein, as the company
Mr. McCall now controls has $5,000,000
invested in ite two buildings in these
two cities. While Mr. McCall was
known to many gentlemen present yes
terday, there were, others who met him
for the first time, and the character of
the gathering may be thereby better
understood. A short reception was
held in the club rooms, the luncheon
following, the menu being as follows:
Blue Points.
Puree of Tomatoes and Croutons.
Broiled Fresh Mackerel, Mai tie d*Hoiel.
Hollandaise Potatoes.
slued Cucumbers.
Sweetbread Patties and New Green Peas.
.Russian Punch. Cigarettes.
l_Lardcd Pheasants. Bread Sauce.
Potatoes au G ratio.
l'errier Jouet.
Lettuce and Tomatoes.
Camembert Cheese and Crackers.
Small French Coffee.
Liquors and cigars.
The table decorations were in exquis
ite taste, consisting of American
Beauties and Jackro-es. hyacinths and
smilax. A number of ."speeches were
.made at the conclusion of the lunch, and
general good spirit prevailed.
JTlcrrliini Lends.
Gov. Merriam. introducing President
McCall, said lie was a man of rare ex
ecutive ability, with the experience of
many years. He had accepted the pres
idency of one of the greatest— he might
say— savings banks in the world's his
tory. No man could have a greater re
sponsibility than Mr. Met all had as
sumed. There was placed in his keep
ing the saving, of thousands of people,
who put their money into insurance
policies for the purpose of protecting
their families. The people of St. Paul
and Minneapolis had a very kindly feel
ing for the New York Life Insurance
company— company which had ex
hibited its faith in the prosperity of
these cities by the erection of two mag
nificent buildings. [Applause.]
.He -all and the- Twin..
President McCall i was cordially
greeted on rising. "That was not, he
supposed, the time: nor the place to
refer to the causes which led him to be
president of the N- York Life Insur
ance company. The position came to
him without promise* he was entirely
independent, and whatever be the re
sult of the future policy of the company
he was entirely responsible. The gen
tlemen. £ present, who were engaged in
nil the "pursuits of life, fully realized
the great interests covered by the in
ranee business. Take the "state of
Minnesota: There was 872.000,000 of
insurance in force; £22,000,000 were is
sued last year. : * This sum involved a
premium payment of §1,750,000. The
receipts in twenty years in this state
amounted to 515,000,000. There was also
? 50,000,000 of new tire insurance business
last year, and the total in force was $56,-'
030,000, involving a premium income of
$3,700,000. If that were all profit the
lire insurance companies would be doing
a great business, but, un fortunately for
the companies and the people, too, the
lire insurance losses in Minnesota last
year amounted to 93,000,000 on that pre
mium income of $3,700,000. This showed
the great interests that the insurance
business involved. Mr. McCall turned 1
bis attention to the West, and neces
sarily the cities of St. Paul and Minne
apolis, He could not see what there!
was to prevent these two cities from
becoming one. [Applause.] Both cit
ies had great business interests, and
each was possessed of great ad-,
vantages. Every team that car
ried a settler further West was
■ assisting to add to the still further
prosperity of St. Paul and Minneapolis.;
Both exhibited a good, substantial and
* steady growth, and his company had'
. exhibited faith in their future by invest
ments amounting to .-5.000,000. [Ap
plause]. He did not know ot any state
having better credit today than the
state of Minnesota. [Applause.] Mr.
McCall resumed his seat after thanking
the company tor the cordial reception
given him.
Various gentlemen were then called
Upon to speak. jgreSH
Fustl*' Recollections.
W. 11. Eustis, responding to general
calls, commenced by saying: "1 have
very tender recollections of St. Paul
[laughter] and of this immediate vicin
ity. [Renewed laughter.] In this local
ity, on one of these fbur corners, I al
ways receive -a very - warm welcome.
..[Laughter.] it does not make any dif
ference whether it is -G o'clock in the
morning or 1 or 2 o'clock in the after
" noon." [More laughltr] Mr. Eustis,
•continuing, said Mr. McCall struck the
.keynote in his reference to the Twin
Cities, If they carried out : the pol
•icy of the New York Life the
time was not far distant when
'.the. two cities would be one. [A voice,
* *'Good," and applause.) The "binder"
•between these two cities was the cath
olic spirit of liberality that actuated the
business. Of course, as human beings,
they had their local pride, and they
'sometimes lost all tlieir .. judgment,
'.perhaps, in their fealty to their locality ;
but over and above that, the brain and
nivscle that was building-up the North
west was that of the busy, enterprising
arid broad-minded business man who
had built up these two cities, which

of the country at large.- _ [Applause.] -■'•
For the Newspaper!..
Frederick Driscoll was called upon to -
speak for the newspapers. He said 'the.'.'
newspapers planted themselves here :■:
with the utmost faith in the future de
velopment of the Northwest, and be
fore the New York Life made its great
investment in the Twin Cities these pa
papers, with their editors and managers,
gave their time and energy, without n*
quarter, for the development of . the
country. They still believed in the con
tinued greatness of these cities. [Ap
plause.] He expressed the opinion that
the Northwest was in its infancy; that
a irreat and glorious future lies
beyond. In .the development of
the Northwest the prosperity of these
two cities was based. He wished to en
courage the new president of the New,
York Life in the. investment made by
his company in the Northwest. ..'-He had
asked the question of a gentleman
present, who was connected with the
New York Life company, much in
surance was being carried by that body
of gentlemen. He replied that in his
company alone about $1,000,000 insur
ance was carried. That was a remarka
ble instance of the confidence relied in
the New York Life Insurance company.
[Applause.]
Gov. McGill, who has had a Ion*", per
sonal acquaintance with "Mr. McCall.
received a call. He said Mr. McCall
was well qualified for the position of
president of the New York Life. He
was a most efficient superintendent of
insurance in the state of New York, to
which position he was appointed by
President Cleveland in the face of Tam
many opposition. Supt. McCall re r
duced the expenses of the office $50,000
a- year. Gov. McGill referred to his
tenure of office as insurance commis
sioner of this state.- Fifteen years
ago the fire insurance in New York
and Minnesota were three times as
much as what was carried in Canada.
The last time he investigated the mat
ter be found that Minnesota alone was
carrying just twice as much as Canada.
For twenty years past- the insurance
premiums paid in Minnesota had shown
a greater increase than in any slate in
the Union. -9BH
Kelly Vote* Straight.
Hon. P. 11. Kelly made a happy
speech, in which, referring to Gov.
Merriam, he .-aid: "1 have been proud
of him ever since he was a boy. lie has
given the state of Minnesota an honest
government— [cries of 'Good' and ap
plause'—and no one can say that any
trust confided in William R. Merriam
has not been faithfully and hoin-stly
administered. [Loud applause.] This
is the testimony of a Democrat— a Dem
ocrat dyed in the wool, and who would
always be found voting the straight
Democratic ticket.'' [Applause.]
L). K. Noyes, as a director of the
Equitable Life of New York, also spoke.
He warmly indorsed Mr. McCall'-. ex
cellent work for ilie Equitable company.
The money entrusted to the New York
Life, the Equitable New York Life and
the Mutual Life of New York exceeded
the banking capital of New York. The
trust reposed in these in these insur
ance companies was a sacred one. Mr.
Noyes prognosticated that critical limes
were ahead for financial institutions,
ami the policy of these big insurance
institutions would be closely followed,
for upon their economical and business
like management their; eventual
•'weathering of the storm" defended.
F. 11. Greenleaf spoke in behalf of the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce. He
reiterated that the Northwest was des
tined to be the granary for the world,
and Minneapolis was the largest wheat
market of the world. [Applause.]
A. B. Stickney represented the rail
road interests. He commended the in
vestments made by the New York Life
in St. Pit and Minneapolis. These in
vestments bad, to some extent, been
criticised, but he considered it
to be unjust. They would event
ually prove to be excellent paying
investments and, besides, he believed
it to be the true policy of a great com
pany that receives the funds of -the
whole people— the people of the whole
country— that it was not only to their
interest.but it is their duty.to distribute"
their investments and give the people
who contribute toward this fund a fail
share of collateral in these investments.

A. J. Booth briefly spoke, .'and the
proceedings pleasantly terminated by

FLEISCHMANX HAPPY.
Having Secured the Milwaukee
Garbage Contract.
Henry A. Fleisctimanu was the hap
piest man in the city yesterday. He
had just received - official notification
that he had secured the Milwaukee
garbage contract, and he is to receive
108,000 for the. first year and $2,000 addi
tional each for lour consecutive years.
The city was enjoined against giving
this contract, but the courts dissolved
the injunction, and the contract - has
been signed by the officials. Fleisch
inann was present at the aldermanic
committee on streets, but the azotine
contract matter was not broached di
rectly. Aid. Gehan, . however, volun
teered the information to Mr. Fleisch
manu that the contract" had" been
summarily settled by the assembly, and
that the board of aldermen have noth
ing to do save consider "the assembly

TRADE-MARK CASES.
Hiram Walker & Sons, of Canada,
.Get an Injunction Against a Chi
cago House.
A case recently heard before Judge
Gresham, of the United States circuit
couit for the First district of Michigan,
goes to show that persons who use whis
ky must be on the alert if they would
escape being imposed upon.
The plaintiffs are Hiram Walker &
Sons, Limited, of Walkerville, Canaaa,
distillers and bottlers of a whisky known
as "Canaoian Club." Under the Cana
dian excise regulations whisky may re
main in bond indefinitely, ami the dis
tiller may, if be so wishes, bottle it while
still in the custody of the government
officers, and thereby obtain an excise
certificate of the age and genuineness
of the liquor in the form of an official
stamp over the cork of each bottle.
This guarantee is naturally very much
prized by the distillers who have the old :
whisky to secure it, and all whisky bot
tled by the Walkerville establishment
is so guaranteed. ZWBSBJ
A Chicago firm have put up a spirit
which they call "Montreal Club," al
leged to be made by the "Montreal Dis
tilling C 0.," which was shown to have
no existence, in all but name,-.- the
Walker labels were closely imitated, as
was also the official stamp of' the Cana
dian excise. The proceedings were
rendered somewhat novel by the ap
pearance of Mr. Z. A. Lash," Q. C, of
Toronto, on behalf of the Dominion
government, to support the application
of the plaintiffs to restrain defendants
from further use of the counterfeit cer
tificate. The. defendants were promptly
enjoined from continuing to* infringe
upon plaintiff's trade-mark or labels, or
to copy the Dominion excise stamp.";..-;,-.
A significant feature of the case was
the production by the defendant' of
affidavits by several liquor dealers of
Chicago, who could hardly be ignorant
of the character of the "goods in ques- :
tion. .7' - ; -•-; ...... .

Recommendations.
'The grand jury reported that it found
no indictments against Harry Moss and
Albert S. Loeb, M. J. Welch. Peter

ment was found by the two preceding
grand juries against Moss and Loeb: oh ".

ment, but demurrers thereto were sus-
i /tBSSgP-nBI
Frank Gaul, sent to jail by order of
Judge Brill, will have his matter con
sidered by the grand jury Thursday."
The grand jury reported that it had vis
ited the county institutions and its com
ments thereon are as follows:
As to the county jail, considering its
age and many inconveniences, it is in
excellent condition, and management of
Sheriff Bean Is commended. The work
.house has ninety-five prisoners/five of
whom are woiueu. It is well kept and
properly managed. In the almshouse
are seventy-six men and sixteen women.
They are all contented. Mr. and Mrs.
Hendry are highly commended for their
management of this institution. The
interior of the city anil county hospital
is in excellent order, but arrangements
for ventilation and the speedy "comple
tion 'of projected improvements are
urged. This will make the hospital one
of. the best in the. country. There are
seventy-one males and forty-six females
in the hospital. More nurses are rec
ommended therefor. 9&lttB$&(
The court liouse is mentioned as well
taken care of, but better elevator serv
ices are recommended, either by provid
ing more elevators or belter motive
power, as the present service is inade
quate to the needs. The police stations
are in good condition, especially the
central station, which is declared to be
a credit to the city. Separate cells
are provided for women, and the build
ing is well arranged.: The Margaret
street station is also provided with sep
arate cells for females,and like arrange
ments for the other stations are recom
mended. The police force was found
to consist of 180 men, of whom 80
are at the central station, 31 at
Rondo, -: 30 at Margaret, 20 at Ducas,
11 at Merriam . Park and 8 in the
telegraph and municipal court service.
Based upon a conversation with Chief
Clark and a careful observation, the
grand jury recommend an increase in
the police force. It is excellently well
managed, but is inadequate to afford
protection for the outlying districts.
The Sixth ward, with a population of
28,000, and the Midway district, are
without adequate police service. It is
recommended that an ambulance service
be provided at once.
--.: The report concludes by calling at
tention to the fact that the great bulk
of offenses brought to the attention of
tbe grand jury are committed by boys
under ape. They are considered a dan
gerous element, and the courts are
recommended to deal more harshly with
them in future. Many of their crimes
are attributable to intoxicants sold by
saloonkeepers contrary to law. The law
prohibiting the sale to minors should, in
the opinion of the grand- jurors, be
strictly enforced.
The trial of criminal cases will begin
this morning before Judge Kelly. The
county attorney has determined to push
the criminal cases rapidly. The case of
William F. Kastner will be called for
trial today, lie is charged with assault
ing Joseph Beiswinger with a double
barreled-shotgun at New Brighton.
" The Kate Davis murder case will be
called lor trial Monday. 'The Michaels
arson case will follow after in course of
trial. v.'-': v . 'z.~:~ : '- _-" ' _■ •..-"■

Neal intermittently squeezed chords'
out of an accordion, and '"•' Capt."
Trumbull 7 expended all the 'force
of an unusually muscular-pair of -lungs
on a cornet. An army, song, to the good l

Brigadier Fielding, with frequent ex

wavins. of arms, led. There was hand-
clapping and waving of handkerchiefs,
and here ami there in the audience a
voice that had never sung a Salvation
song before took up the stirring strain.
There were prayers— prayers, deliv
ered iv a deafening tone of 7 voice— and
[there was singing. of songs, ; the chorus
repeated again and again with a shout.
The officers on the rostrum exhorted in

coat, and, picking a lively accom
paniment;. 011 a banjo, sang an
entertaining . song;, with ; the refrain,
"He can't get me., no . more."... -The.
singer, whose voice. is falsetto, with a
cocKney accent, said the grammar of
the song was rather bad, but the -tune
was good, and invited everybody to join
in the chorus. The song. related his re
ligious experiences, and declared that
the devil had told him "reliirion, was all
rot," but that he had finally overcome
the evil one, and the song closed with
the--- comforting - refrain, "The devil's
gone away." Col. McKie read a portion
of the sixth chapter ot Matthew. 'Then
the officers went at : it again, and with
great earnestness, albeit . in ; ; somewhat .';
laulty English, exhorted the congrega
tion to repent and be saved. Capt.
Pebbles asked everybody who was
happy to hold ■up his baud, and as <
but few. palms _ were shown, he told
a story of a man who wept real
tears at his wife's funeral, but remar
ried inside of two months. The captain
said it was only a habit the man had of
showing his happiness., and he supposed^
many of tne audience showed their hap

9 .The efficiency of St. Paul's police force
is well illustrated in- the. annual report
ibt- Chief Clark, which 'was submitted to
tlie mayor yesterday. A perusal of the
following facts and figures and a com
parison of the same -with those of other
cities of the same or even smaller size
than this city will go to show that St.
Paul has every reason to be. proud of
the -record presented- The scarcity of
crime and. the well known fact, that
criminals give Si. Paul a wide berth is
due entirely to the successful efforts of
John Clarke and his able corp of offi
cers, whose merits are more frequently
testified to in other cities than they are
."given recognition at home. : In his re
port Chief Clark recommends that a
number of policemen be added to the
present force in order to furnish more
adequate protection to both the busi
ness and residence portions of the
city. A complaint is often heard
from- different parts of the city
that more guardians are needed at
night ant!, although the patrolmen
now on duty are .never found lacking
in watchfulness, yet the ground which
they are obliged to cover is often more
-.than.'-.can: reasonably be expected of
: them. Following is the chief's report:
1 have the honor to transmit the an
'nmil' report of the police department
for the year ending Dec. 31, 1891; to
gether with the report of -the: superin
tendent of police patrol telegraph for
Un; same perio I. The work of .the de
partment has been most excellent, as
(the:. detailed report will show. Too
.much credit, cannot be given the de
tective department, as it is due largely
to the
Skill and Faithfulness '
of its members that the city is so free
from desperate criminals of- all classes
■ and so few crimes, against persons and
property are committed. A new central
police station having been, secured, 1
would call your attention to a matter
which lias been repeatedly mentioned
in former reports;. but seemingly passed
unnoticed. To. properly patrol the busi
ness part of the city and give some ade
quate protection to the residence por
tions, at least fifty additional patrolmen
-are needed. I,., trust this will receive
■ the careful consideration it deserves.
> The force at present consists of 180 men
> all told, viz: One chief, 4 cap
tains, „-.. 7 lieutenants, including 1
.-mounted; 1• . chief of detectives,
-4 detectives, 1 superintendent of police
"telegraph, l license collector, 123 patrol
lUien, - including 9; mounted; ..'3' court
jbailitfs, 3 poundmasters, I driver and 1
guard of ; workhouse van, '.) : jailors. 1

pairer police telegraph lines and 1 clerk.
■ v During the year fines collected through

-- .:02-2.50; : ■- licenses,". $43,388.20. The total
-'number of arrests, made was 5,340.. Of
