His Great Work for the Upbuilding of the Capital City. Personal Tributes to His Many Noble and Unselfish Characteristics. An honored and far-seeing citizen, one who was truly loyal to St. Paul: a logical and effective exponent of the interests of Minnesota and the Northwest; wealthy, but benevolent; careful in business, yet highly esteemed by his business such was lion. Ellas Franklin Drake, of this city, from whom the spark of life Ueu rted Sunday evening a Caronado beach, California.

He lived a long.active and useful life, the record of which i closely interw oven into fully thirty years of the hisioiy of this sectio v. During the seventyeiirbt years of existence he had been energetic in every business undertaking, and his business experience began before ho had reached his twenty-first birthday. Although Mr. Drake had enjoyed general trood health and had little use for physicians until IS9O, an attack of heart disease daring the fall of that year caused him to spend the winter in Florida, where his condition for a time was quite alarming, and his son, Harry T. Drake, went to his beside.

He recovered from that attack and returned home iv the spring of IS9I, saying that he felt almost liko his former self. The mild climate of California seemed desirable for this winter, and Mr. and Mrs. Drake went to Coronado- beach in December last, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.

A. 11. Wilder. They remained at Hotel Coronado, just across the bay from San Diego, Cal. Mr.

Drake seemed to enjoy a fair condition of 'health, but the fears of a relapse were realized on the 14th when a telegram received by Alexander M. Drake from his mother said that the father's condition was serious. Alexander M. Drake left for California on the first train Suuday evening. A later telegram said Mr.

Drakefs condition was very critical, and the next message' was from Dr. Morton saying that he had died at O'clock that evening. The announcement here yesterday caused Profound Sorrow among the business men and many others. Mr. Drake's ability and integrity were known, and mnny expressed the wish that he might have been spared a few years' more of active life in St.

Paul. Ohio and Minnesota, in fact, all over the country, he had had a successful career among business men, in the legal ranks and among leading statesmen, but his.proudest achievement was the building of tJie- first. in this state and in extending it so that the St. Paul Sioux railway became a great and valuable factor in the development of Minnesota. During his experience here devoted most of his energy very assiduously to the successful realization of railway tjetfir failed to treat tue.visitors at his office witft Many evidences of the charir ties f- that he dispensed quietly all through his life have come to light since his retirement a few years ago from active business.

2 In tlie sale of the' Sioux 'City road to the Omaha line he displayed the best 1 known evidence of his business acumen and legal talent. He had gone to New York in 1878 with Horace thsn president of the First National Bank of St. Paul, with a view of buying the property since known as the "Omaha" and consolidating it with the "Sioux City." Mr. Thompson was to be president of the new company. i Horace Thompson died while the negotiations were pending, and being unwilling to shouJder the entire management Mr.

Drake turned the tables, sold the Sioux City road, to the Eastern capitalists, taking stock in the "Omaha" for part of the purchase piice, and. preserving to the Sioux City Land company tiie rights to the land grant in which, of course, Mr. Drake acquired a heavy property interest. His attention then centered more upon acre property, his city real estate, mills and live stock. He took life more easily, and while doing so ho Properties, so that.

his estate, is valued by some well-informed men at $8,000,000. In 1882 he built, on Third street, the -Drake block, a handsome seven-story monument to his name and enterprise. This was partially burned in December, 1833, but was rebuilt at largest wholesale building in the city belongs to his estate, and he built and gave away a fine wholesale structure on Fourth street. His resilience on Lafayette avenue is a mansion in size and adoniinent, and he presented his daughters with handsome residences as wedding presents. His son, Alexander M.

Drake, has long been his private secretary. He will probably meet his mother, who has started for this city with the remains. They will probably meet in New Mexico, and reach here Saturday. No definite arrangements have yet been made for the funeral services here. The nearest relatives are: Mrs.

E. F. Drake and the children, in the following order: Mrs. Charles S. Rogers, Harry T.

Drake. Alexander M. Drake, Mrs. T. S.

Tompkins, Mrs. W. H. Lightner. Most of the children are married to St.

Paul people, and the entire family hold 3 a ver.v high position in the estimation of the community. The nephews, James H. Drake and Hal C. Drake also hold leading positions- in business here. They speak in the highest terms of their uncle's considerate methods.

Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Bigeiow, who lire at Thomasville, ou account of Mr.

IJigelow's health," were telegraphed to. They are the parents of Mrs. Harry T. Drake. A.

B. Stickney, who is iv New York, was also advised by wire. The deceased was a regular attendant of the First Brptist church, of which he was a mainstay, although not a member of any church organization. His relatives speak in high praise of his exemplary habits and say no profanity, no obscenity fell from his lips, and his son said: "He never said cross words to A telegram to the family from Arian Iselin, a leading New York banker, yesterday said: "We oirer you our sincere sympathy iv the loss you have met with in the death of your father." Among those living who were closest to Mr. Drake are: A.

H. ex(iov. Alex Ramsey, Gov. William K. Merriam, Gen.

J. W. Bishop and 11. C. Upham.

Among the "Sioux City" road representatives who have joined the silent majority are Horace Thompson, Col. Johu L. Mermm, J. C. Bovdeu and Mr.

Hamilton. itlerriam's Gov. William R. Merriam, comuienting on the loss of Mr. Drake, said: I very much regret his loss.

He had Bcrved this state iv various capacities and proved himself to be a man of unusual force nnd of varied accomplishments. As public speaker tie expressed himself cleurly and unmistakably. He had really a very logical mind. It was in the business world, however, that he was best known. He was au unusually bright aud clearheaded man iv all business affairs and his success in tnat direction has been particularly great, having left a larce accumulatiou of property, lie was, personally, ft very kindly man and had many warm friends.

His connection with business and public affairs stamps him one of the foremost men of the state. Iprtglu aud Just. John 11. Allen was seeu during the day and said: K. F.

Drake was an excellent business man. fur-seeing, but upright aud just In all his dealings. He was thoroughly loyal to St. lv.ul, true to his convictious, and his death causes a great loss to the city. Next to his business capacity he wns a valuable man to the public.

As one instance of his remarkable ability, I remember, I happened to attend (ho convention st which (iartield was nominated. It was there that Mr. Drake, representing Minnesota, nominated William Wiudom in a speech that was conceded to be one of the finest there delivered. Few knew Mr. Drake, but they were asking all around: Who is he? Who is he? They soon found out.

lie was deliberate, pleasant, logical, convincing and to the point. I'm rather Democratic, I admired that speech, and I always admired the mau. uoslentatlous. Charles S. Rogers, president of the jobbers' union, said: There wns a Doint about Mr.

Drake that the general public know little of ou account of his unostentatious manners. He was in helping those who were in distress. But his motto was to "not let the right hand know what the left hand -doeth." He avoided signing subscription papers where he knew: that publicity would loliow. and he; felt some -of the unjust criticisms that resulted. -Hundreds of poor, people received aid from him personally, and hs generally requested that they say nothing, about it.

liis donations to schools and puDlic institutions throughout the state were large. Tho old farmers along the Sioux City live who bought land from him on contracts swear by him, for he dealt with them so fairly. He was a good. lawyer. He could run a transit aud survey as well as any one, and his business qualifications show for themselves.

While speater of the house in Ohio many years ago, Mr. Drake inaugurated the pliu of counting- all the menibers'iu sight in order to secure a quorum. The plan held good in the courts, and made him more than prominent. We had a little dinner at the Minnesota club some time ago. Mr.

Drake was tne central figure. He" related so many experiences here, there and all over the country and said fo much of interest regnrdiiiK railroads, politics and general business that a uewspaper man, who was present, expressed great regret that he had not come prepared to take notes of the remarks. Tney were especially interesting, concerning the great number of rjublic men Mr. Drake had met. I really believe he bad personal relations with all the presidents of his day.

He told us particularly of going with other, representatives from Columbus to Washington to see Andrew Jackson concerning the banking laws. We have striven to have him write his reminiscences, and almost succeeded, but his. retirin 'disposition caused him to avoid it. Whenever he saw a likelihood of publicity he would let others do the talking. the state legislature, however, he was alive to duty aud did uot shrink from it.

IX BIOGRAPHIC KEY. Mr. Drake's Ancestors of Revolutionary Stock. Elias Franklin Drake was born in Urbana, 0., Dec. 21.

1813. His ancestors were of Revolutionary stock, his maternal grandfather, Muthias Spiuniug, having served in that war in the New Jersey militia, foi which tervice he received a section oi laud in. vVarren county, Ohio, to which he removed while Ohio was still part of the Northwestern territory.

Greene county. 0.. in 1837, a position lie filled for nearly thirteen years, when he resigned, leaving the bank, iii high prosperous condition, and resumed the practice of law in that city until 1852, when he embarked in the business of railroad-building, the pursuit of which brought about his to Minnesota in 18G2. Prior to removing from Ohio Mr.

Drake was president of two railroads and two turnpike roads. It was in 1862 that Mr. Drake brought to Minnesota the first ears, locomotives and rails that came to the state, and in connection with the late lion. Edmund Rice. F.

R. Delano and others put in operation ten miles of road between St. Paul aud St. Anthony, the first Hue of railroad built in the state of Minnesota. lie became interested in the' St.

Under his supervision as contractor and president some 60U miles of railroaa and 200 miles of turnpike road were constructed. With Mr.

For a time he was largely interested iv lumbering iii Wisconsin, -was" interested in extensive stone quarries in this state and in Wisconsin, owned and operated a large farm in Southwestern Minnesota, upon which he bred blooded horses, cattle and swine. At the same time Mr. Drake also acquired large property interests in St. Paul, among his best holdings being the Drake block, on the south side of East Third street, between Jackson and Sibley streets, and the extensive building occupied by the wholesale firm of Finch, Van Slyke, Young Co.

In Politics.

In politic. Mr. Drake was a Whig until that organization was succeeded by the Republican party. He voted for Gen. Harrison grandfather of the present incumbent of the presidential office, in 1836 and 1840, for Henry Clay in 1844, and has supported every Whig and Republicau presidential candidate since.

His personal acquaintance with the prominent political leaders of the last half century was large, including such names as John Quincy Adams, Gen. Jackson, Van Bureu, Polk and others of equal note. He' was a delegate to the Baltimore convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for his second term, and to the Chicago convention of 1880 which nominated Gen. Garfield. It was in this latter convention that he introduced and succeeded in getting adopted a resolution that broke the "unit rule," which resulted in Gen.

Gnrfield's nomiuatiou. Before coming to Minnesota Mr. Drake also served for three terms as a member of the Ohio legislature. Mr. Drake has been twice married.

Five Young: Men and Three. Young: Women Enter the List The First Time the Fair Sex Were Allowed to Com- pete. They Signalize the Concession by Carry ing Off Two Prizes.

i Hamline university eloquent ijast evening with the silvery oratory of five young men and. three young women, candidates for honors in the home oratorical contest. This is: held under the direction of the oratorical association of the college, to select speakers to represent the university in the inter-collegiate state contest, of which the universities of- Minnesota and Hamline are the members. Last evening's was the tenth affair of the kind.and was memorable in many.ways. It was the first time young ladies had entered the list against their brothers, the constitution having been changed this year to admit their appearance, and their success surely warranted the change.

Then the interstate' association meet in Minneapolis the Ist of May, ana hold its eighteenth contest under the auspices of the university of Minnesota, the vice president of the league, Theodore G. Soares, being a member ofthat university. Hamline is, ot course, anxious that she may' be represented, and well represented, in the 'coming, fray, and the crowded house which greeted the orators showed that the whole school has a lively interest in the contest. Several from the state university, were present to see what sort of timber will be opposed to them in the state contest. At 7:45 the orators filed in and took seats to the left of the rostrum, the gentlemen clad like Hamlet, in "customary suits of solemn black," the ladies in severe tailor gowns.

W. L. Bonney presided, and the music was furnished by the H. U. '93 quartette, consisting of G.

E. Maxwell, P. R. Stovvers, E. N.

Tuckey and Brink. The subjects included the religious controversy, "The Poet's. Dream." a review of the century; one sang the praises of women, and one. by the fineness of his literary criticism, the praise of Shake-speare: the vision of the seer foretold a golden millenium, and an earnest woman closed the list with a plea for the oppressed Indian. E.

N. Tuckey gave the. first oration on "Disestablishment of the English Church." llis delivery is' marked' with earnestness, and his voice ie strong, low and "smooth. The following is an outline: Disestablishment. Religious is an inalienable right of man.

As the democratic principles of equal-' ity and justice spread, the old erroneous tbe-. ories concerning church and state are beitisr dissipated. We are confronted by the question, "Where shall state functions cud alii-, individual liberty The duty of. the government is to protect the rights of its sub- jects. cannot denl things spiritual" aud eterual.

Fear that religion will decline" if withdrawn from state support is without, foundation, else what is the significance 'of the living force nncl uiitiring energy of -dissenting denominntions? A government made ud of men, many ofjwhom are cold! to the'einorious of religion -and foreign to its beliefs, is unfit to deal with the faith of an soul. by religious freedom.thnt error shall be dissipated and the pure light of truth shine for all men. C. C. McCann, of class, gave an on "Jerusalem It opened yfitha'vfewidf the city at the time of Christ's 1 entry, wUU its masses of snow and gold, when He uttered His memorable prophecy.

Then came a graphic description of the destruction of the city aud the consequent aispersion of The article was not the regular oration in form, but was a relief from the tisualorder. Miss Jean Evans, of the junior class, was the first one of the ladies to speak. Her oration on "Women' Warriors" contained nothing of the philosophical dissertation. little to attract the student. It was a simple descriptive address of the works of Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton, of the lied Cross arm.v.

on the battle field, but it was given with a tender womanliness, a magnetism which held her audience spellbound. The pathos in the voice ias well the essay, which accompanied the rehearsal of the suffering on the battle field, reminded one of that perfect mistress of pathos, Francis Willard. Miss Evans tones are crystal iv clearness and silvery in their llute likeness; her gestures few but graceful. Miss Flora Allen, the only representative of the senior class, won second place with a discussion of one of the problems confronting Western civilization. Her oration was au earnest, straightforward plea for The Red and was greatly emphasized by the earnestness of her face, which reveals something of the missionary spirit.

She said: "One of two results must or annihilation. Christianity and edu- cation are necessary factors." The nation must educate, Christianity must Christfanize; the two together must civilize." i i Mis 3 'Allen is graceful, so graceful, in fact, that it might be a matter for criticism that her delivery loses force were it not for a penetrating iucisiveness of the full, powerful voice. G. E. Maxwell, who won second place at the interstate contest last year; wasthe winning speaker last evening.

Hl3 delivery has improved, showing much more self-possession, and the recital of passages from Shakespeare, instead ofmarring, strengthened the oration, which was on "Shylock." It was a fine literary criticism, dealiue with this masterpiece and showing a discriminating judgment and carefulest preparation. He said: Shylock, as a creation of genius, is most complex, yet a marvel of completeness, in. intellect and will he is a giant. Desire for cold, softened by no noble impulse; pride inhis race, once the glory of the earth, now outcast and despised; the extortions and Injuries received at Christian hands, goading' nim almost to gare the forcea which develop abnormally the black hatredof his Christian foe, the desire for revengawhich at last rolls like a billow over avarice Could we conceive the sense of loss and the seuse of insuK not only for personal, wrong, but for national outrages; not only in. the present, but lhe heaped-uD contumelies of the ages; merge these feelings iuto ona virulent hatred of the whole Gentilei' world; let this be concentrated against one could we conceive feeling we might know something of the-" rancor burning in that, wide.

Savagely as his enemies hate their feeling is almost love when compared, with the diabolic malignity he bears Where else than in Shylock will you find such heights and depths In one mau? His thoughts, his words, hia actions, are mingled harmonies and discords, crashing together, shrill and hissing. Each right has in it something wrong; every wrong somethiu right. Iv him are faith, hope aud hate; passion and patience: prudence, blinded by malice; superstition, augmented by faith.

The markings, were not to be obtained in full from the secretary, but it was learned that G. E. Maxwell obtained six first places, every judtre the ranking him first. E. N.

Tuckey got three second places on thought andcom. position, but was suffering from a severe attack of la grippe, which lessened his per cent in delivery. It is to be regretted that an oration so superior in the thought, of such weight and solidity, should not be given a chance at the contest. Miss Allen's rankings were l'J, Miss Can's Tuckey 's SMITH'S XKW MILL To Be Located on the West Side Levee. Through an anomalous coincidence two ordinances are before the council, written contemporaneously, and each eranting a different company the.

One ordinance is to grant to the Sr. Paul Showcase company and the other to Kingsland Smith. The former is to erect and maintain a threestory fire-proof showcase factory, and the Smith franchise is to erect a stone or brick roller flouring mill, and the site or property in dispute is situated at the west end of the Wabasha street bridge.

The consideration in both instances is the payment to the city a rental of $1 a year tor "-a period of twenty-five years, when the grantees agree to remove their buildings respectively. After canvassing the question for a time Aid. Sanborn as a simple method of adjusting the confusion, the plan of receiving bids from the two concerns, tho one offering the most liberal bonus to be given the franchise. The committee thousrht this a happy sohuion'of the problem, and it would have been adopted but for compromise proposed by Aid. Melady: He offered to undertake to conciliate the showcase', company oy picking them out another 'just as advantageous and desirable site on the levee, and then the committee roted to recommend the passage of the -Smith ordinance.

a jj Mr. Smith, who was present, stated the mill will have a capacity of 1,000 barrels of flour a day, but at first it nviii be run only at the lull It is expected that the new Thdustry will be iv operation inSeptem- 1 6er, or in time for the new crop of 1592. i KECEPTION -Jfendered This Evenihff in the s.

Smalley Will Retain the Three Feet Strip. In the cause of Adeline G. Sawyer i against Eugene V. Smalley, to recover a strip of land, three feet wide, near the corner of Dale street and Holly avenue, the jury found for thj deter.dant. This action grew out of a change made by the city in Daie street, which effects the greater part of llolcombe's addition.

Dale street being only fifty-seven feet wide, the city claimed it should be widened to sixty feet oy adding three feet on the west side of Dale street. Mrs. lot faces on Dale street, and sue claimed that her neighbor should make good her loss, as her deed called for so many feet. The city was presumably backing up Mrs. Sawyer's claim, and a large number of property owners were backing Mr.

Smulley in his defense on the theory that if the plaintiff prevailed in her suit the boundary line of several hundred, lots be affected. Doubtless the case will go to. the court of appeals.
