Help with song identification on Berliner disc #0836

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.

Thanks George!

That’s two down and one to go!

Anyone know the middle song?

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