THE UNITED VYPoTHETAE.
Preparations for the Coming Twin
City Convention.

Between Aug. 5 and the Twin
to a gathering of men. that, with
regard to intelligence and ability,
can favorably compare with any
body of men within the United
States. On these days will be held
in Minneapolis and st. Paul the
ninth annual convention Of the Ty-
pothetae of America. Speaking with
the editor of the National Printer
Journal, of Chicago, it may be said
that ''the employing printers, the
heads of great printing and publish
ing houses, and their wives and
daughters, noted for intelligence, re-
finement and beauty, coming from
Boston, the seat of learning; from
New York, the money metropolis of
America; from Philadelphia, the city
of solid wealth, contentment and
brotherly love; from Chicago and
st. Louis, from Richmond and San
Francisco, San Antonio and Toron-
to, and all the other great cities of
North America" are expected to
gather here
The festivities accompanying the
convention will begin at Chicago,
Aug. 4. Arriving in that city, the
Eastern delegates to the convention
will be received by the local follow
ers of the craft. Headquarters will
be established at the Auditorium A
drive around the city. and probably
reception will form the chief COM
ponents of the programme for the
day. In the evening a special train,
furnished with the greatest luxury,
viii take the delegates over the Mil
waukee road to st. Paul, where the
Typothetae of the Twin Cities will
receive their guests.
On the first day Of the convention,
which is Monday, no business will
be transacted. The delegates will
be shown to their respective quarters
and given chance to rest them
| selves after their long journey, and
to get in shape for the subsequent
work and pleasure. The executive
committee will, however, hold a
meeting, in order to make out plans
for the business part of the conven-
ton. 1t has been decided to divide
the meetings of the convention be-
tween the two cities, so that the
meeting one day is held at the state
| capitol and on the other in the Ly-
ceum theater, of Minneapolis. Bust
| ness sessions will be held on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday, but
only in the forenoons

the evening will be spent at Lake
Como. A similar trip around the city
of Minneapolis and an entertainment
at Lake Harriet will be the feature of
Wednesday. Minnehaha will be visit
ed on Thursday, the delegates starting
! from Hotel Ryan on a special train of
/ interurban cars. The final and most

| sion will be a trip to Lake Minnetonka
