Nearly ten thousand children with

tiers, aunts and nurses, took part in the
annual Easter Monday eSg-rolling in

mus of the Marine Band. The wealth
er was delightful and the youngsters

which Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth
with a party Of friends also enjoyed
from the balcony of the mansion. The

Mr.. Yardley Brown of Hamilton, Va,
clerk in the District office here, whose
removal has been demanded on account
OF offensive partisanism, thinks it right
hard that he should be removed after a
term of only six months, and especially
hard to be called 4 Mahoneite, as he
has fought the General from the first.
To-day was the Presidents private
dav, so few office seekers called at the
Waite House, and fewer were admitted.
If they only knew what the President
thinks of them few would ever call.
In talking about those to an acquaint-
auce the other day the President said
their calls were absurd, and consumed
time for nothing, neither helping him,
their friends. nor themselves, but that
he had no means OF stopping them.

appointed Assistant Secretary of the

republican, will go democratic next fall,
owing to the influence of Judge Sam
Graham of that county, and that the
people of all that section will demand
that the Judge be made member of
the State Court of Appeals. The Colo
mel also says that Warrenton would
have Gen. Fitz Lee Senator for the long
