ANNUAL EGG ROLLING.
The President Orders the Opening of
the White House Grounds to
the Children.

Washington, April 16.-President Nc
Kinley today entered the formal order al
lowing the children to have their annual
curing the afternoon of Easter Monday.
The custom is one more or less peculiar
to Washington. but it has been kept up
by generations of children for many long
years. and those who once rolled eggs on
the day after Easter bring their
children to do the same thing.
It was originally the custom to assemble
the cildren on the green slopes at the
west front of the capitol, but about
twenty-five years ago the juvenile frolic
was transferred to the grounds at the
south of the White house. President
Cleveland incurred the enmity of whole
generation of youngsters by refusing to
allow the Marine band to play during the
afternoon, as mad previously been the GUS
TOM On one occasion he went so far as
to shut up the grounds entirely, but there
was such a storm that attempt was
made TO excuse the exclusion of the
children by the statement that the
ground was too wet President Mckinley
could not see just why the Marine band
should be called out Easter Monday aft
ernoon to give the babies &. holiday, but
their friends and nurses are beginning to
pour in requests at the White house and
the chances are that if the weather is
good the babies will not only cover the
beautiful grounds with a multitude of
broken egg shells and waste paper, but
will accomplish the desecrstion to the
tune of the best music the government
can afford.

GARDENS FOR THE POOR.

Englewood Improves on the Pingree
Plan and, Hopes for Practical Success.
Chicago, April 1--we have solved
the poor problem in Englewood," said
c. F. Weller of the bureau of charities
yesterday in the Office at 305 Sixty-third
street. while other cities are discuss
ing plans. work here is started. We
would have begun blowing last week,
but the ground is wet"
The EngleWood bureau has decided
that the ideas held by Mayor Pingree
are of the right sort. Through the eff
forts of r. E. Brownell 40 acres were
secured from Mead & Coe, who are the
agents for eastern capitalists. The
property lies between Sixty-ffth and
Sixty-sixth streets and Center avenue
and Loomis street and was leased for
81 a year. On this strip it is proposed
to lay out vegetable gardens and let
the unemployed till the soil under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of G. F. Lott, a stock
yards man, who is to see to the plant
ing of potatoes, squash, onions, beans,
sweet corn, cabbage and tomatoes.
The 40 acres are to be divided into
lots S0xS0 feet and they will be separa-
ted by paths or beams. Through H. c.
Staver 5000 has been pledged for this
years expenses. Colonel Hodgkins, in
addition to a donation, has agreed to
plOw ten acres, @. r. Lott has agreed to
pillow five acres and R. E. BroWnelI five
acres, so that one-half of the tract has
already been provided for.

Ingurance Co. Paws Up.

The Milwaukee Mechanics. a fire in
surance company, has been opposing
the payment of the 2 per cent reciprocal
tax fee for doing business in Kansas,
but superintendent McNaH has sue
ceeded in getting the money, nearly
$500. The legislature instructed the
superintendent to proceed to the collec-
ton of certain fees which had been
overlooked by his predecessors. While
attempting to carry out that instruc-
ton Mr. McNan was cited to the fact,
by the Milwaukee company, that the
resolution under which he was acting
directed him to proceed against New
York companies only After the ex-
change of one or two letters Mr. Nc
Nall expressed the opinion that the
fees should be paid at once and they
