EASTER EGG ROLLING
Boys and Girls to Have the White House
Grounds.
Result of a Conference Between the
The Question of Music.

As result of a conference between the
President and Col Bingham, the engineer
officer in charge of public buildings and
grounds, 1t has been decided to open the
grounds south of the Executive Mansion
to the children of the District of Columbia
Easter Monday, the 10Th instant, from Q
o'clock a m. until sunset. This action is in
accordance with happy custom that runs
back to war times. In the olden days the
terraces in the Capitol grounds were used
by the children for their egg rolling and
other Easter gambols. Late in the '70's.
however, the scene of action was trans
ferred to the grounds back of the White
House, and they have been sacredly de-
voted to the exclusive use of the children
Easter Monday ever since.
During President Harrison's administra-
ton the annual festivals were made mer-
rer and more inspiring by the presence of
the ever-popular Marine Band.
The children danced and played games to
the music of the band and the day came to
be looked forward to by them the glad
dest, merriest day" of the year. No act of
President Cleveland was so unpopular with
the Juvenile portion Of the community as
his order prohibiting the presence Of the
band On these festive occasions during his
residence in the White House. The only
explanation offered for this action was that
the attendance of the band served to in
crease the crowd to dangerous proportions
and to include in it too many children of
oder growth.
1t is officially announced that there Will
be no music at next Mondays festivities.
Although it is not SO stated, it is natural
inference that this decision was made by
President Mckinley.
1t is knt wn that the matter was brought
to his attention, but it is not believed that
the desires of the children were presented in
their full strength. 1t is, therefore, pos
sible that Major Mckinley may be induced
to reconsider the decision and allow the
band to play for the children short time
during the afternoon as was done in the
happy days of yore.
Colonel Bingham has informed Major
Moore, chief of police that the grounds
will be open next Monday, and has request
ed the detail of the usual force of police
for duty in the grounds Ito protect the
little ones from any one who may endeavor
to annoy them or to interfere with their
nIea

THE PUBLIC PRINTER
He Has Not Yet Had Time to Examine the
Office System.
A Belief That There Will be Changes
in the Methods Pursued by
His PredecessOr.

Public Printer Palmer has not yet given
much attention 10 the system of work
followed In mis- office, his time having been
taken up by receiving callers and attend
ing to a reorganization of the personnel
of the big printing establishment. Every
day the public printer receives hundreds
of callers, large number of whom are
members of Congress. The Office being un-
der civil service law, about the only thing
that can be done in the reorganization of
the personnel is to reinstate or promote ex-
Union soldiers who were dismissed or de-
NOTED under Mr.. Benedict's administra-
ton. The cases of scores of such soldiers
nave been brought to the attention of Mr..
Palmer and upon investigation of their
merits he has requested the civil service
commission to certify them for reinstate-
ment wherever it can be shown that their
records in the Office were good. The law
requires that all such reinstatements shall
be upon the ccrtification of the civil sery-
ice commission, and there are now with
the commission large number of requests
Tor the cerlification of such ex-Cnion SOL
Giers.
1t Is understood that Mr. Palmer will
make a number of changes of the system
as established by Mr. Benedict. One OF
these changes that is desired by MANY cf
the men in the office is the method now
pursued to keep a record of the work CT
each man Under the present system
man at the case is obliged to fiji out a slip
showing the time he receives take and
the time he finishes 1t, the number of ems
II contains and the character of the mat
Ter. Ihese slips have to be transferred 10
record, and the system involves !. large
amount of labor that those VINO oppose II
believe is useless
IT is believed by many that this system
VIII be abolished, and in its place will be
substituted method formerly in use in
the office. by which the work of each man
Is measured at the end of each day, as is
done in private offices in which work is
done by the piece.
The public printer has promoted John
II. Carr, assistant doorkeeper, from 81 to
81 80 per diem. Carr is an ex-Union SOL
der who has an empty sleeve to testify to
the character of service he rendered the
government.

To Amend the Anti-Tru.t LAW.

Representative Shannon of New York
today introduced in the House a bill to
amend the antitrust law SO that 1t will
not prevent railroad traffic agreements.
Mr. Shannon's bill is much less complex
than Senator Foraker's. The amendment
which he proposes follows:
Nothing In this act, however, shall be
deemed or taken to prohibit railroad or
other transportation companies in the
United States owning and operating COM
peting lines from entering into agreements
between each other for the purpose of
establishing or maintaining freight and
passenger rates over their respective lines
Provided, that such agreements before 60
ing into effect shall be submitted to and
approved by the interstate commerce COM
mission. and a copy Of all such agree
ments filed with the said commission"
