LINCOLN, Oct. 26.-An of the delegates
who attended the National Prison associa-
ton convention have left the city, having
concluded their session hast nisht, and all
have gone away convinced that the ses-
sion was the best in, point of attendance,
interest and in the papers and addresses
presented that the association has ever
held.
A number OF the delegates will visit some
of the state institutions before leaving the
state and this morning a number went
down to Milford to visit the Old Soldiers
home while others went to Grand Island.
The delegates are all returning to their
homes over different roads from those
over which they came, because the rail-
roads did not grant the one and one-third
fare owing to the fact that not enough
tickets were sold to bring the number up
to that required by the corporations.
Yesterday afternoon the Lincoln Star
printed a story to the effect that the dele
gates were disappointed in the much talked
Of hospitality OF the people of Lincoln
and were leaving much aggrieved at the
| treatment accorded them. p. r. Costello
Of Cincinnati, one of the delegates who
has attended the national meeting for the
last eight years, expressed the sentiment
| of the other delegates, so he claimed, when
/ he gave out this interview regarding the
! Lincoln sto-y:

! The hotel at which the headquarters were
established treated us with the greatest
| consideration and furnished us the best
| possible entertainment. One hotel in your
city refused to furnish rooms to some Of
the delegates who applied there. They
claimed their rooms had all been engaged
by the bankers Some OF the delegates
were very much put out at this hotel, but
this is not charged up to the citizens of
