EGG ROLLING.
An Unusually Large Crowd Make
Merry in the White House
Grounds Enster Monday.

Thousands of people focked to the
grounds which surround the executive
mansion to watch the army of children
indulge in their annual sport of egg
rolling on Easter Monday. The young
and old, rich ana poor, white people
and negroes, Cinnamon, Japanese, and,
perhaps, people of every nation were
there. Eggs were cheap. and the street
urchins as well as the petted children
of fashionable families were well sup
piled, and only few of those who live
in dire poverty were without fancy col
ored eggs. This did not rob the latter
class of happiness, however, as they
stationed themselves at the bottom of
the hills and captured the eggs rolled
down by those who had been favored
by fortune.
1t was the largest crowd which has
ever visited the White House grounds,
and many distinguished men were no.
ticed. The density of the crowd was
attributed to President McKinley's
popularity, and it is said many came
solely to catch glimpse of him. Every
one was disappointed, however, as the
president attended the funeral of Gen.
Flagler, and did not return until the
crowd had dispersed. The marine
band occupied stand in the grounds.

A chain forged of ball gowns Is about
to connect the women of the stage and
the women of society. A new woman's
exchange, where gowns that have been
worn by the four hundred may fall into
the hands of those whose business 1t is

TO BE SENT TO ORIENT.
Plan Under Consideration to Have
the Torpedo Craft Go TO the
Philippines.

Commander Hawley has prepared the
complement of enlisted men TO be de-
tailed on board the torpedo boat de-
stroyers and the torpedo boats, and as
soon as the naval personnel law gets into
smooth operation officers will be as
signed them. 1t is likely the new craft
will form animportant part of the naval
force on foreign stations and in home
waters. There is proposition to send
some of the larger destroyers to Manila
voyage which could be accomplished
by having the ships skirt the coast from
San Francisco by way of Alaska and
Japan. None of them is capable of 60
ing more than 1000 miles under its linn
tied coal supply, but by the route sug-
gested it will be possible to replenish
the bunkers en- route. The only way by
which such ships can get to Hawaii is by
being towed. This is considered dan
gerous practice, especially as storms are
liable to be encountered. 1t is planned
to have these ships perform the duty
which now devolves on the larger yes
sells in the way Of scouting. dispatch
carrying, and protecting approaches.

is A GREAT SUCCESS.
DR.. Felix Barton Has Great Faith
In His New Airship.
II ConstructinE n Large Machine
After his Working Model Under
the Supervision of british Mill
itaPy Authorities.

DIR. Felix Barton's airship has great
ly impressed the British government
experts present on the occasion of it's
recent trial.
81 have been requested by the au-
thorities to prepare sketches and plans
of my invention" he said. "The ship
sailed 300 yards in the presence of Col.
York, of the military ballooning de-
partment at Woolwich, and would have
sailed miles had not brought It down"
rs 1t true that you contemplate a
transatlantic trip?"
There is no reason why my airship
should not, when perfected, go across
the Atlantic. The finished airship will
carry crew of eight men, with lifting
power of 1000 pounds. The measure
ments are 150x29 feet, with a capacity
of 60,000 cubic feet of hydrogen. The
vertical area is 172K square feet. The
ships length is 37K feet, it's depth 10
feet, netting two-feet beam, Is 12 feet
in diameter, with the wheels Ave feet,
and fan propeller nine feet. There
Is coming tower, engine-room, steer
ing gear, and bomb tube. When you
wish to rise you pull up the diaphragm,
or inclined plain in the fore part of the
ship, start the propeller, and you
ascend, while by lowering the dia-
phragm you descend.
"My recent tests were only with a
model worked by clockwork, but my
finished machine will be driven by an
electric motor at the rate of 100 miles
an hour. The ship can easily go from
here to New York under two days. Full
accommodation and supplies for the
crew would be provided in the car of the
vessel, which, by secret which do
not think it well yet to reveal, is always
kept on even keel. Through the bottom
of the car there are two bomb tubes,
which could be used for dropping dyna-
mite shells on an enemy.
my ship is to be constructed under
the supervision of the military authori-
ties, and 1 am confident it will fulfill
the conditions have promised"

CLEVER FORGERY.
Fraud in Army Discharge Papers
Uncovered when Money Lies
Uncalled For.

A peculiar forgery of discharge pa
pers has been discovered by the war
department. which invites the sus-
picion there may be an organized sys-
tenn to defraud the government. Some
weeks ago final statements and other
documents necessary to the discharge
of an enlisted man were presented in
the regular form. Nothing was lack
ing to make the papers correct and the
account was ordered paid.
The name given was Charles II. Hill
Ter, of company X, Fourth Missouri
volunteers, and the cause of the dis
charge was recorded as disability on
surgeons certificate, which was fur
nished. Everything required in such a
transaction was provided and the com
pany and regimental officers and the
surgeons signatures were in handwrit-
ing apparently different from that in
the body of the discharge. The request
was made that the soldiers money
should be sent in the care of a clergy
man at Augusta, Ga.
The latter held the check in expecta-
tion that 1t would be called for by SOL
dier, whose appearance would corre-
spond with the description embodied
in the discharge. A few days ago the
minister returned the check with a
note, saying it had not been called for
and there might be some mistake, as he
knew of no such man. A search of the
regimental returns revealed no soldier
named Hitler, and an inquiry did not
produce any trace of him. Further in
Vestigation showed that the whole
thing was q clever forgery.
