 D. OrtOn. ASST. DEST. ATTY McGinn's Resignation Is Sai1 to Have Been Demanded by
 District Attorney.
ASST. DsST. ATTY

Yesterday afternoon John l.. Me Ginn rendered his resignation as assistant d strict attorney for the second indic al division and it was immediately ac- ceptel by Acting Dis rct Artoruey Geo. B. Grigsby. Ira D. Orton was appointed to the vacancy, and this morning he fled his oath of office and formally entered upon the duties of the position.
 The report had been circulated about town for several days past that McGinn had stated that he would resign. Var ious reasons were alleged to have been given by McGinn for his proposed step. But he did not take it and it is allegt that he was asked to make good his in tentiOn to rs gn within a specified time. which he did.
 Mr. Orton was offered the place last fall by District Attorney Griasby just prior to his departure for the outside. a- he anticipate that q vaea ncy might occur at any tine. He therefore lett instructions with the Acting District Attorney to notify Mr. Oryon of his app puintment, should Mir. AlcGinn resign or d chauge be deemed necessary. Mr. Orton $ al pointment bears date of Oct. l6. last.
 The appointment of Mir. Orton is a most excellent one. He is one of the leaders of the bar of Nome. and he is hIg h!y estpeiLed for his integrity and honesty not only by his fellow practi- tioners, but by laymen as we'll, and Co appointment that could be made would have given greater satisfaction.
 John l.. McGiGn has been assistant diStricj attorney since July 1900. When Jos. k. Wood was called to the outslue III the fall of 1901 to answer charg C of contempt of cUuit, McGinn became acting district attorney. which position he Aeld until tue arrival oi Col.

 In thls country egg rolling or racing finds its apotheosls in the White House grounds. while Philadelphia claims the palm for egg picking" This game, which has respect able ancestral and cosmopolitan past, con ssts in a battle with eggs, the contestants knocking their hard boiled eggs together. To the vietor-of superior skill or harder shell belong the spells. In Greece and Asia Minor this practice goes hand in hand with great display of musketry, which is always the ex- precision of joy.
 close second to the egg, In Easter sym bolism, are Easter cakes. The origin of the hot-cross bun, whose unlimited consumption begins on Good Friday and extends through Easter week, may be traced to antiquity
 In London and all over England the uni- versal cry of the vendors, One q penny, two penny--hot cross buns!' Is sufficient to coax the eoppers out of the most closely buttoned purse. In Swifts Journal to Stella" In TIP, he estimated that at the old Chelsea bun house 240, GOO have been sold In A day, and the taste for hot cross buns seems to grow by what 1t feeds on.
 The true Good Friday bun Is believed never to mold and is kept by the superstitious from one year to the next to prevent disease and bring good luck. These buns are also dried, grated and added to water to make a sort of panado, supposed to be valuable tonic.

The show windows are also filled with the smartest of spring and summer frocks, the habefdashers' windows are bril- liant with their fascinating articles, and even the mems tailors make brave showing in the goods they display, so that all the world is thinking of clothes, and the ones who think less of them are those happy men and women who have taken time by the fore lock and whose spring outfit is In order, and who can on Easter Sunday step out in bright and new attire. There is superstition, also to the effect that something new should be worn on Easter, otherwise old clothes will be worn during the entire year-a good reason for indulging in the fascinating fab rdcs and fashions now so temptingly dis played.
 For men there are many different styles of coats, several different shapes of hats, many different cuts and eolors of waist coats, many varieties and colorings of shirt ings and no end of new materials for suits to be worn In the morning, afternoon and evening.

 Among the approved Easter cakes are hot cross buns made as folows:-
 Into four pounds of the best wheat flour rub quarter pound of good sweet butter. the same amount of lard. half pound of sugar, heaping teaspoonful of salt, tea spoonful of grated nutmeg, half teaspoon ful of cinnamon and pinch of mace. Add three-quarters of pound of well washed and dried ourrants and little finely shred ded candied lemon peel.

This should be done early in the evening If the buns are to be used for breakfast. When the sponge rises to the top of the hole knead the entire mixture to light dough, using as much mofe warm milk as may be neces- sary. Set the bowl, well covered, in a warm place. The next morning knead and turn out on well fioured board and divide into pieces weighing about three ounces each.
