I’m trying to figure out the song titles being played in the medley on the Berliner Gramophone record titled “Street Piano No. 2,” record #0836. I believe it was recorded December 18, 1899.
I know that the last song in the medley is “Whistling Rufus.”
The street piano of course is NOT a piano, but is a hand cranked barrel organ, popular mid-19th to early 20th century.
There are two copies of this disc on YouTube. I believe they’re both the same recordings, just with different filtering. Here’s one of the links:

Any help would be appreciated.

The first song is Just One Girl.
I can't identify the second.
The third is indeed Whistling Rufus.

Still asking for the title of the 2nd song (middle song) in the medley.
