PARTY FROM THE WEST RETURNS.
President WattIes Satisfied with the
ResnIt of Thcic Efforts.

Prcstdent WattIes Satisfied with the
Result of Their Efforts.
After a junket of over 5000 miles and an
absence of almost a month, the western con-
tihgent of the exposition promoters returned
home last night. The special sleeper. which
bore the black and yellow banners of the
party, was attached to the eastbound Over
land OF the Union Pacific, and arrived in
Omaha at 4:40.
The party consisted Of G. w. Wattles, John
L. Webster, G. NJ. Hitchcock, Captain II. e..
Palmer, Clement Chase and w. S. Poppleton,
nearly all being accompanied by their wives
and children. The last stop made by the
party was at Sacramento and the homeward
run of over 1,S00 miles was made without
incident.
President Wattles of the exposition ex-
pressed himself as being well satisfied with
the trip, taking under consideration the dis
advantages encountered In the way of hard
times, the lethargy of the home legislature
In acting upon the Nebraska appropriation
and other obstacles. 81 think we may con-
graduate ourselves" he said, upon having
advertised the exposition over a vast terri
tory. People of the western states who
had never heard of the project were made ac-
quainted with it in the best possible manner.
Nearly all the capitals we visited had the
legislature in session and in the majority of
places we addressed a joint gathering of both
the houses. 1t is true that the western
country is leellnB the eHectS or hard times
most severely, yet wherever we went we met
with loyalty to the great west and were
handsomely received. Interest upon every
hand was manifested in the great show and
we were assured by all those in power that
pressure would be brought to bear toward
making appropriations for the state ex-
hfblts. The prospect for the Californian ap-
preparation of $50, 900 is, l think, most ex-
cellent; also for the Utah sum of $50, 900.
At Olympia we found the Legislative houses
wrestling with the subject of internal econ
omy, but have a fair assurance that the state
will come forward with at least $12, 900 to
represent the industries of this truly mag
niicent empire. The private subscription of
Marcus DAILY of $15. 900 was most encouraging
and | think, the legislature of Montana will
surely appropriate Sic, 900 In addition, If not
more. The appropriations of Kansas and
Colorado are more doubtful, yet they will
unquestionably fall into line, as the work
toward perfecting the exposition progresses"
Captain Palmer, John l.. Webster. Clement
Chase and others Of the party expressed
themselves along the same lines and appeared
well satisfied with the outcome of the trip.

For the devout, who strictly observe the
sacrilcial season, and who need no recon-
pelse therefor other than the consciousness
of rectitude, there are compensataions as
well, which fall like an u%nsought benedic-
ton upon those who deserve them. Not to
dwell unduly upon the capacity Of virtue to be
its own reward, nor to Insist upon the urgent
necessity for mental and physical rest which
is often self-evident, there is the spiritual
exaltation which leads to and accompanies
a good stiff, genuine renunciation-a tenn
porary putting AWAY of something near and
dear. Conceive the case of one to whom the
the diamond-back terraptn OF the Chesa-
peake is a daily necessity; and stand in
awe at the subllmity of a sacrifice which
interdlcts that chelonian luxury for forty
days. Or, again, suppose the obligation of
lenten self-denial to have fallen heavily upon
one to whom the habit of plucking the bios
som Of the century plant has become as sec
ond nature. If he firmly believes 1t to be
his duty to relinquish this deep-rooted Gus
tom for forty days, and nerves himself to the
point of turning his back upon his chiefest
Joy he Is a hero, and as such is very properly
admired by his fellows of lesser stamina.
These may be isolated cases. but it is be-
lieved that they are fairly typical of the
vast bulk of penitential self-denial which
is practiced by brave and holy men and
women throughout Christendom.

Society for q Season Puts on the Garb Of
Accumulated Woe.
PRETTY FAREWELL GERMAN At HILLSIDE
For Forty Days the Needless May At
tune Their Minds to other
Themes Than Those Relating
to Mundane Pleasures.

Tho lenten curtain has descended upon the
miscellaneous and assorted frivOlitles OF the
social season, and the swimmers with the cur
rent OF fashionable Observance may now LOT
a little season take advantage OF the retarded
foy OF events to rest and otherwise fefresh
themselves. Even the exhilaratlon OF ASH
Wednesdays renunciatory vows has passed
away by this time, and aside from the strug-
pie-more severe In some cases than in
others-ot keeping unimpaired the good reso-
Iutions Of that holy day, the wearied nina
and tired body may apply themselves to sucn
restoratives as are nearest; at hand and best
suited to individual needs.
Lent has its compensatlons, even for which
as do not by active observance, SUBJECT tnelu,
selves to its peaceful influence. Its ENFORCED
modification of the flesh IL, alas, not always
welcomed by those whose corporal frame Is
most In need of such CorreCtiOn; nut IL estaD-
fishes a temporary equality between these
and those others whose flesh Is pefpetualiy
mortified Dy their inability to get into the
charmed Lent-observing circle, and by the
envy consequent thereon. IT grievously cur
tails the society columns OF the sunday
papers. and contracts the hearts of those VINO
contribute thereto; but, on the other mana. v
mercifully tempers even the wind oil TINS
sore a~niictlon to that shorn lamb, the reader.
And as the social wheel, In its yearly round,
dips a segment OF its periphery below the
blackness of this penitential time, carrying
with it into eclipse that class of earth's in
habltsnts which habitually occupies the larg-
es; share of public attention with It's comings
and goings. humbler parts Of :he circle are
raised by the same revolution into a promi-
nence denied them at other times, and are
permitted to luXurlate in a radiance which
Is entirely independent Of the fun moon when
follows the twenty-frst OF March. These
are some of the things which do, or should,
commend Lent to all men as a thing to be
desired.

ingly instructs them in an unvexed voice.
His pleasant personality is undoubtedly n
large factor in the results he accomplishes.
Mr.. Lehman does not put a great deal
of faith in either the rowing machine or
the tank. He thinks that both are useful
to get the men in good physical condition
before they start on the hardest part of
their long training. He believes in the
stiffest sort of work during this time, and
then in letting up on them toward the end
of the training and in easing off for sew
cral weeks before the race. This easing off
at the end gives an opportunity to polish
up the stroke and it lessons the possibility
of overtraining. Mr.. Lehman says il is
usually tho case with the Oxford crew that
In the last ten days before the race they
take on weight His impression of both
the Cornell and Yale crews that visited
England in 1895 and 1896 is that they were
overtrained, though, cf course il may
have been the climate that caused them to
be below their fittcst physical condition.
