LONG SENTENCE PROBABLE

The announcement in yesterdays Star
that George Taylor, THE Slasher,' would
be arraigned in the Police Court this morn
ing attracted q very large throng to the
court, but Inspector Hollinberser decided
today that ne would postpone the fellow $
appearance in court until some day next
week, probably Monday Tuesday Now
that ali doubt as to the identity of Taylor
is removed, the officers desire to have him
al hand in order that he may assist the
almost innumerable persons he robbed in
identifying their property. THE Slasher'
undoubtedly now realizes that there is no
longer any object in endeavoring to conceal
anything in connection with his depreda-
tons, and when questioned by the officers
freely gives them all the information he can.
AS a result Of the information he hos
volunteered to the officers, together with
the great mass Of property identified, no
less than fifteen or twenty different cases
can be made againHt Taylor, enough TO
send him to the penitentiary for CEN

EASTER EGG ROLLING.
The White House Grounds VIII Be
Open for Little Ones.

The grounds south of the White House
will be opened to the children of the Dis
trict, as usual, on Easter Monday. but the
probabilities are that the Marine Band will
not be there. For some unknown reason,
President Cleveland objects to the presence
of the band. 1t was ordered there, as usual,
last year by the Secretary of the Navy, but
subsequently. at the Presidents suggestion,
the order was countermanded just in time
to prevent the attendance OF the band
Music is a pleasing feature of these Easter
gatherings. and its absence will be source
Of keen disappointment to the children.
The necessary orders have been given, with
the Presidents sanction, for opening the
grounds to the public on Monday, but so
far no arrangements have been made for
music. 1t is a safe prediction that the mis-
take of last year will not be repeated by
Secretary Herbert, and that the Marine
Band will not be ordered to play at the
White House Monday. unless request to
that effect is made by the President, or
some one representing him. An effort will
be made to induce the President TO with
draw his objections to the presence OF the
Marine Band according to custom. and there
is a possibility of its success. All the chill
6ren are coloring their eggs for the Easter
holiday.

a most cordial invitation to the President

officers and their families to attend the
dedication of the Mary Washington monu-
ment at Fredericksburg, May 10 next. One
committee was composed entirely of la
dies. with Mrs. Herndon. ex-Presideut Ar
thurs niece as chairman. Another COM
mittee represented the Washington Lodge
of FrederIcks sburg and the third was COM
posed of Mayor Rowe and Capt. McCrack-
en- Judge Sener and Messrs. j. 5. Potter,
Merchant. Herndon and McCracken rep
resented the municipality and citizens or
the old Virginia town. Representatives
Meredith and Jones of virginia accom-
panied the delegation and presented the
members, individually. to the President,
who received them pleasantly and told
them that he certainly would be with them
at the dedica ton If he could possibly ar
range to leave the city on that day. he
did not believe that he would be able TO
give them very much time, however, and
intimated pretty clearly that he could not
stay to the Masonic banquet in the even
ing.
In addition to the invitations extended to
the President and Mrs. Cleveland, the pres
eDce of Vice President and Mrs. Steven son
