AT THE PRESS CLUB.
The Reception in the Club Rooms
Great Success.

The reception rendered the delegates
last evening in the press club rooms by
the Minnesota Editorial association and
the st. Paul Press club was one of the
most pleasing features of the en-
tertainments mapped out for the
visitors. Shortly after 8 o'clock the
handsome rooms of the club in the
opera house block Commenced TO fill
with the visitors and their ladies. From
that hour until after 10 hundreds of
delegates wended their way to the
rooms, being received by the reception
committee of the club and the state asso-
citation. Shortly after 10 a crowd of 1900
guests thronged the club rooms, the roof
garden annex and the large dancing
hail of the opera house block. The
scene was indeed a brilliant one, and
will be long remembered by all who
participated. Thoroughly informal and
Bohemian in character. it was the
more enjoyable in that restraint was
laid aside. and the guests were
free to wander here and there
at sweet will. In the club
rooms one could see Mayor Smith
entertaining crowd of delegates and
ladies with "reminiscences of early days
in st. Paul. while Oh the roof-garden
annex. which was artistically decorated
with palms, potted flowers, Chinese
lanterns and electric lights, the ener-
getic president of the club.
II. P. Hall, regaed many of
the visitors with highly sensational
account of the last Press club beef
steak supper. Everywhere good fel-
lowship reigned, and the expressions of
delight at the entertainment provided
were unanimous. On the roof garden
Kleists Mandolin orchestra discourSed
sweet numbers for the delectation Of
the many ladies and gentlemen
who preferred the. open air to
the crowded rooms. In the
large dancing hall, Siebert's orchestra
supplied music for the dozens of votar-
les of dancing. The hall presented a
most beautiful appearance, being dec
Grated and feStoOned with flags and
bunting. During the entire evening
refreshments were served in the rooms
adjoining the ball rooms and
club rooms, and the members
of the club who were present
saw that the wants of their guests were
attended to- Through the courtesy of
Managers Lift and BIxby the private
offices of these gentlemen were used as
cloak rooms for ladies, and the arrange
ments made for taking care of wraps
worked like a charm. In addition to
the delegates and their ladies. only
state, city and county officials and their
ladies were invited. and. with few ex-
ceptions, all the gentlemen invited were
present. From start to finish the en-
tire reception was huge success, and
long after the hour of midnight the last
guest departed,

DULUTH Is TOUCHED,
Though the Damage Done Is Not
Very Large.


Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Mimi. July 16. One of the
severest storms for years visited this
city about o'clock this afternoon. The
forenoon had been very sultry, and
wise ones shook their heads OminouSly,
saying: "We'll catch it soOn." The
storm came from the north over the
hills, which broke its force, so that
the damage was not so bad as it
might have been. Rain fell in
torrents and the lightning was very
sharp. Owing to defective sewer, the
wooden pavement on the corner of
Lake avenue and Fourth street was
torn up and carried down hill from
Fourth to Superior street. Lake avenue
was streWn with ceder blocks. A bOul-
der as large as a barrel was carried from
Fifth to Fourth street down steep in
cline. Lake avenue was converted
in a few minutes into rag
ing torrent. Whenever the water
came in contact with obstacles
it carried the obstacles along with it.
I he roof of Judge Hammond's house
on West Second street was struck by
lightning, but his family, who were
within six feet of the place, escaped un-
injured. a new house on Ninth avenue
east was washed about three feet by the
flood. No lives were lost in this city.
All the damage was caused by water
flowing down a steep hillside. Two
blocks on Fourth street will have to be
entirely repaired. The lightning was
remarkably strong and vivid. The top
mast of the steamer India, of the Tran
sit line, was struck and demolished.

A LINE-OF-TYPE.
This, Set by Machine, Interested
the Editors YESTERDAY.

The exhibition of type-setting by ma
chinery, which was to have been one of
the features of the editorial convention,
was slightly marred by a veXatiouS de-
lay which happened the Mergenthaler
people through the negligence of the
railroad companies, but they were
amply compensated for the loss of
time by the keen interest which
was displayed by editors, print
ers and the public in general
which was only whetted to higher de-
gree by its absence. The machine ar
rived late in the morning, and through
the remarkable mechanical ability of
Ernest Bertram, one of the brightest
machinists III their employ, it was in
perfect running order before the noon
hour came, although it is said it takes
day or more 10 set it up. Then,
with the assistance of Fred Smith.
a compositor, who by his ability in
running the machine has earned for
himself an enviable reputation as
man who appreciates progress, and al
ways desires to be in the van instead Of
the rear guard, they entertained and in
structed, not the newspaper fraternity
only, but the general public as well.
The rooms where the exhibition took
place we're crowded all day, and side by
side with the Rogers Typograph
they showed to the entire satisfac-
ton of even the most skeptical
that the problem of setting type by ma
chlnery, which has so long been
doubted, has at last been solved. The
workings of the Mergenthaler or limo
type machine, SO called because it
forms line of type, are very pretty,
and there is undoubtedly one point
which has been perfectly solved by the
Mergenthaler and needs no improve
ment, and that is the distribution.
This is so perfect that even
the uninitiated seem to grasp
the 6idea as soon as seen. There
are many perfectiohs and imperfections
in both machines, but there is DO doubt
that one or both will finally succeed in
giving to the public newspaper made.
like everything else nowadays, by ma
chinery. Messrs. Bertram and Smith,
of the Mergenthaler, and Mr.. Phister,
of the Rogers, will give another exhibi-
ton to-day, and all newspaper people
axe given cordial invitation.

that the money might have belonged to
E. D. Williams, the old co-proprietOr of
the hotel, whose gold pencil was found
with the money. Williams met a sud
den death by an explosion in 1872. AS
many of the bills were of a more recent

GLUTTONS FOR WORK.
Editors Pass Upon a Variety
Of Subjects With Marked
Dispatch.
The Desire to Attend Strictly
to Business Raises a Lit
tie Breeze.
Some Delegates Thought That
Excursions We're Being
Too Crowded,
And That There Was Too
Much Junketing Being
Done.

The National Editorial convention is
making heroic efforts TO round up its
programme by dates according to the
schedule, and it will be only by pushing
things through and cutting off the edges
and trimming down the speeches that
it can possibly succeed. There was
little clash yesterday. When the con-
vention opened, it Immediately tackled
the incomplete programme of the pre-
ceding day, and during the morning
session succeeded in pushing it through
and tackling a slice of the regular MORN
ing schedule. When the noon hour ar
rived, it became question as to when
the body should reassemble. An ex-
cursion to White Bear was OH the pleas
ure programme. and there was a de-
cided tendency manifested to drop buSi-
ness and take it in. But President Ste
phens and a number of the officers made
a vicious and vigorous kick, and an aft
ernoOn session was the result. Only a
cOrporars guard attended it, however.
as the large majority went to Whlte
Bear.
"What's the use of missing these
pleasant excursions, qucTleu all cu-
itor, "when l can get the full report i'll
the GLOBE next morning and take in
all the sport that's going?"
The fact is that a very small proper
tion of the delegates showed up at the
morning session, and not over one hun
dred and twenty-five editors voted on
the proposition. Secretary Tallmadge,
of the chamber of commerce, intimated
that the citizens committee did not
wish to thrust its pleasures into the bus
mess of the convention, and the eXcur-
sion was only for the ladies. But a
delegate read dodger that he had just
gotten at the door, in which it was
stated that all were expected to partici-
pate in the excursion. Congressman
Scott wanted the committee instructed
to recognize none but ladies' badges on
the train, but his motion was subse-
uuently withdrawn as matter of dis
cretion. The fact that the proceedings
are stenographically reported and
printed, leads many of the visitors to
get all the social enjoyment they can
out of the trip aud trust to the reports
for the results of the session. YeSter-
day, however, was the most interesting
day thus far, and the discussions well
deserved attention. To-day will wind
up the convention, with the election OF
officers and the selection of the next
place of meeting.
