nOtsoon forget Judge Alfred Stcckler
On Christmas day the Judge gave a
dinner to five thousand guests. His
way of feeding needy people is not to
invite them to banquet. Many

not enjoy such feast with a crowd
of strangers. Judge StccIllcr obtain
cd the names of about five thousand
poor people in the ncighborhood of
his courtroom and sent them invita-
tions to come to his Office the day
before Christmas. There was a gen.

of family was provided with all the
materials necessary for a bountiful
dinner. Among the things distributed
were poultry, game, fish, oysters.
candies, cake, etc. Some of the Wis
itors were sent away with crisp bank
notes in their pockets. Last night
the Judge entertained several thou
sand people in the same way. The
more he gives the better he, likes it.

Fun I'm the White House Grounds.
THE CHILDREN ENJOY THEMSELVES EGG-RoLI-
ING
The White House grounds just south of the
Executive Mansion, presented an animated
scene fforn early this morning till late in the
afternoon. The little children gathered there
in large forces to indulge in the annual custom
Of Easter egg-rolling. At noon 1t was estimated
that over q Thousand little ones had full possess
sion of the White House grounds. Notwith-
standing the backward spring, the fertile
knolls of the grounds were covered with a car
pet of yelvety green, and the little ones romped
and rolled in every direction. Many Of them
were accompanied by their mothers, maiden
auntsor nurses, who kept carefulwatch over their
charges. Many brought their lunches with them
and enjoyed 1t under the spreading trees at
noon while taking rest from the days sports.
The participants In the egg-rolling. sports were
OF all ages Well-grown school girls seemed to
enjoy the sport as much as any one, while the
American small boy was in his glory. In his
high.water pants and shirt sleeves he rolled
eggs, rolled himself and rolled other boys, and
virtually took possession of the grounds. Presi-
dent Cleveland, now and then, had an opportu-
nifty during the day to glance from his library
windows at the merry throng, and in witness
ing the enjoyment the little ones took in their
sports, which were new to him, must have felt
well repaid for not forbidding them from tres
passing upon. their Easter play grounds.
