THE PROGRAMME I'M FULL.
CITIZENS HAVE A CHANCE TO
CONTRIBUTE IF THEY DE-
SIRE.
CIRCULAR LETTER ISSUED
How the Delegates Will BE Re-
cefved Here-Ladies Lend
Hand.

l
all advices from the national Off
| GERS received from the East, it is
going to be the biggest and best
convention the order has ever known.
The FIRST convention was held in
| Chicago at the Briggs house in 1882,
at which there were twenty-eight del
egates present. There will be some
300 delegates at the coming conven-
ton, besides the alternates, ladies
| and guests. The local executive
committee has been working on the
! convention since last February, and
| has already extended some $780, Over
| $500 has been spent in ST. Paul. The
! committee is now at work among
generous citizens trying to collect
J $500 to $500 more, which it will need
with what it has on hand to carry
out the entertainment programme.
1t is receiving hearty support and as
sistance from both the Commercial
club and the jobberS' union. Over
| $1,000 has been raised outside the
city, but the whole expense of the
convention will be about $4,000.
Those who know have estimated that
this gathering will distribute in the
city $15,G00 to $4,000 during the
week of it's stay here. The Com
merclal club has mailed 200 letters
like the following to some of our
prominent citizens, and it is hoped
they will bear good fruit:
| Gentlemen: On the Sd of Septemb Der
| next, the fourteenth annual conVen-
ton OF the National Association Of
Stationary Engineers will convene at
| St Paul. This convention was secured
| Tor our city upon the invitation Of our
state authorities, city authorities and
of the commercial bodies of the city.
The local association of stationary en-
gineers is small, and they have worked
most theoretically on the preliminary
arrangements, and have expended
their entire means in the effort to en-
| terrain the 700 to 1,000 people who will
be in attendance. We are therefore
| compelled to ask for contributions
from our philosophical citizens to
maintain the prestige of our city and
! entertain the delegates at the conven-
ton in a. manner worthy of the reputa-
| ton OF st. Paul as a convention city
You are therefore respectfully re-
quested to contribute what you con-
Slstently can, to aid in this object
| 1t will be necessary. to meet expenses
OF entertainment of the delegates, to
raise. at the least calculation, the sum
| OF $500. AS the time is short and the
need Is NEST pressing, you are re,
1 quested to reply by return mail, stat
| ing the amount, which, you will find
! 1t possible to contribute to this public
work Respectfully,
! tAnn1iftpn on Init tot

in helping the executive committee and
the local association to take good care
