Had n Unique supper ut the Wind
sor Last Night, Including
Literary Programme.

Thirty Norwegian and Danish ed
itors, coming from all parts of the
Northwest, met in st. Paul yester-
day, and laid the foundation for an
organization designed to benefit and
bring them closer together. The
scheme had been agitated some time
ago through the Danish-Norwegia
press, but yesterday was the first
time the quill-drivers could be in
duced to come together, and they
made the most of it. A business
session, held in the morning, made
them acquainted, and the first thing
they did was to adopt a name for
their organization, choosing The
Norwegian-Danis Press associa-
ton. Col. Soren Listoe, of ST. Paul,
acted as temporary chairman and
presided during the brief delibera-
tons of the day, which were of a
nature of interest only to the gen.
tlemen concerned. The constitution
was adopted and then the session
adjourned This morning the by
laws will be reported by the COM
mittee appointed for the purpose of
drafting the same, and will then be
adopted. After that the election of
permanent officers will take place,
and the date and place for the sec
ond meeting will be decided on.
The editors took possession of the
Windsor hotel last night and enter
tanned themselves and their friends in
a very unique fashion. A banquet was
given in the ordinary and was strictly
an informal affair. 1t was known as
a SeXa. The guests helped themselves
to the eatableS and sat around the
room in groups, in whatever attitudes
most suited their comfort and convent
ence. The banquet over, they all adj
journed up stairs, where an informal
LITERARY PROGRAMME
was carried out. Druggist Patterson,
of this city, played a march that was
written especially for this occasion,
and DR.. Enske recited an original pro-
duction on the characteristics and pc
culiarities of people we'll known to all
in attendance. After that the guests
returned to the ordinary down stairs,
where two long rows of tables had
been arranged. Drinking and smok-
ing and speech-malling held the atten-
ton until a late hour. The speakers
were Col. Soren Listoe, Capt. Wildt
and Henry Gjertsen. Today the dele
gates wiz go to Minneapolis on the in
terurbah road, having been rendered
an excursion to Lake Harriet and Min
nehaha.
