The President yesterday appointed Web
ster Vinzon, of Virginia to be paymaster
in the Regular Army with the rank of
major. to fill the vacancy caused by the

Capt. Allyn Capron, jr.. of the Rough

death, he directed that commission be
made out in Mr.. Yinzon's name.

THE EGG-RoLLING PICNIC.
Many Thousand Children Participat,
in the Festival.

in the Festival.
There were eggs to roll at the White
House grounds yesterday. and they were
rolled by several thousand tots. toddlers,
and ether youthful specimens of humanity
The quarter-grown individual known as
kid was out in force and the egg-rolling
pastime peculiar to the District was thor
cughly enjoyed.
Fully ten thousand egg rollers and spec
tators were gathered at the White House
grounds during the afternoon and the en-
semble of color was terrific to say the
least. 1t was garden of artificial flowers
and every color known to science, with a
few new shades prepared for the occasion,
hemmed in by frame of budding
trees and thrown out By background Of
extremely verdsnt grass.
The feast of egg rolling did not begin
until the afternoon, as the day was chilly
and bleak wind prevented early atten-
dance. Thousands of little ones were
turned loose by careful mothers and
guardians and began the annual picnic of
rolling vari-colored eggs down the grassy
slopes of the mounds. As the eggs rolled
the children screamed with delight and ran
to recover the toys and set them in motion
again.
Small boys swapped eggs and smashed
eggs. rolled eggs and confiscated eggs
while their small sisters laughed and cried
with pleasure or sorrow. The neat, clean
lawn was converted into large nursery
at playtime and even the veriest pes5imist
was compelled to join in the joy of the
children.
Newly arrived parties with fresh baskets
of colored eggs were eagerly welcomed
and a general scramble would result when
some especially gaudy specimen came
speeding down slope. The fun lasted
until the eggs had been destroyed and the
children were tired out, when lunch parties
were formed under the trees and the
healthy appetites OF the rollers were sat
isfied
When the Marine Band made its appear
ance at 4 o'clock there were nearly as
many grown persons as there were chill
dren on the grounds and the programme
rendered under the direction of Leader
SantelmanD was highly appreciated.
President and Mrs. Mckinley, with sew
eral members of the Cabinet viewed the
animated scene from the south portico of
the White House for a time and enjoyed the
frolics OF the children. Visitors were not
admitted into the building, however.
The Easter egg rolling at the White
House grounds dates back TO period be-
fore the Civil War, and the custom has
grown more popular with each Easter
On this one day the children of the Dis
trict and those who choose to come are
given the freedom of The grounds at the
rear of the White House and the privilege
is always accepted by thousands. 1t will
probably be several days before the debris
can be cleared away by the gardeners, but
the children have had a splendid time, and
no man denies them the picnic.

gets in the crowds of neatly dressed boys

picked eggs right and left, winning every
time. He accounted for his prodigious

A silk attired young lady of about ten,

but loquacious critics. one of whom voiced
the general opinion that girl who would
wear her best clothes to an egg rolling
hadn't sense enough to come out OF the
rain. When she had said it with shriil,
ieering little laugh that the little over
dressed thing couldn't help hearing, even
il she had been as deaf as the traditional
post, the flock of chattering youngsters
giggied like small imps and skipping of TO
their eggs forgot all about her. while she
redhot with anger and modification,
dragged her tiny brother away without an
swering a word, and probably went home
carrying along with her basket of gay eggs
an impression that will outlast her child
hood-pcor little thing!

THE BLYTHE MILLIONS.

by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court yesterday, through
Chief Justice Fuller. for the third and the
lawyers believe for the last time. sat down
upon the efforts of the collateral heirs of
the late James G.. Blythe the California
millionaire, to prevent his daughter now
Florence Blythe Hinckley. from enjoying
the possession of her fathers millions,
which the California courts awarded her
after long and tedious litigation. The
first appeal from the decision of the State
courts knocked out by the Supreme Court
was entitled Blythe VS.. Hinckley, and
came from the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia, which had affirmed the decision OF
the probate court in awarding the estate to
Mrs Hinckley. Then some of the heirs
syndicated their claims and in the name
of the Blythe Company attacked the set
tlement in the Federal Courts, but all the
way up to the Supreme court the assault
failed. The latest claimants were John W.
and Henry T. Blythe, also non residents of
California. They sought relief in equity
proceedings, but the court below told them
their remedy was at law and not in equity
and this position the Supreme Court today
confirmed.
