children of Washington HE'D themselves IN
other directions to spend Easter Monday
There was big celebration today at Ran
die Highlands, which was attended by many
little and big folks. Many of the young
sters were attracted to this picturesque
suburban place by the announcement In
The Star that Easter eggs in great num-
bers and pet rabbits would be hidden In
the shrubbery and grass. Gen. Grant a
rooster of great voice and plumage, and
guinea pigs will be in the woods Who
ever catches them or finds the eggs or pet
rabbits will be the owner. Everything has
been arranged for the comfort of the chill
dren and their parents The mothers or
the children are especially invited to enjoy
this day of recreation and pleasure. Ample
space will be found there for romping.
The grand hunt for the eggs and rabbits
began at noon, and lively times were ex-
perienced by those who took part. A band
rendered patriotic music during the after
noon
There were a number of Easter outing
parties to Langdon Hyattsville and other
nearby places today, and the participants,
in addition to rolling their colored eggs
plucked many pretty wild flowers that are
now beginning to appear in abundance In
the suburbs.
There were also many visitors to the
Zoo today, and egg-rollfng was feature

TWO FRAUD ORDERS.
One Against a Matrimonial Agency
and One a Perfume Company.

Postmaster General Cortelyou has ap-
proved the issue of a fraud order against
II. c. Altizer and the Home Club of Har,
Vey, H., upon the report Of the inspector
In the case that Altizer is conducting the
bcziness of a matrimonial bureau fraudu-
lently by means of the mails The Home
Club, according to the report of the in
spector, prints list of ladies' names. with
descriptions of them which are unusually
attractive. alleging that the ladies are APP
phcants TO the bureau for husbands. The
investigation of the post office officials dis
closed the fact, ii is claimed, that Altfzer
the proprietor OF the business, was unable
to produce the fair originals or to show
the alleged applications. IT is also stated
that Altizer gave as references the names
of prominent men in Harvey H., who had
not consented to such use of their names.
For these reasons the department au-
tkorities think the United States mail serv-
Ice is too good for Mr. Altizer and the
Home Clubs correspondence
Another fraud order has been issued
against the Oriental Perfume Company and
its officers as such, of 10 Murray street and
1921 Sd avenue, New York city An
Inspector interviewed Thomas Mccarthy,
owner of this business, and learned that
watches which the company advertises that
1t will give away free 10 advertise its per-
fumes, are not for a moment to be looked
upon as gifts in reality. Before a CORE
spondent can have them he must sell eight
perfumed lockets at - cents each and remit
s. TO the company.
The entire cost of the outlay by the COM
pany in each transaction IS reported as
being only 30 cents, that nice profit
has been CLEANED from the unsuspecting
public. The fact that the companys adj
vertisements are misleading and misrepre-
sent the facts in stating that articles VIII
be given away absolutely free is regarded
by the post office authorities as sufficient
ground for Il fraud order.

The usual number of lost tots were re-

found" were taken to the police guard
room at the south end of the east office

their parents or guardians. Policeman j.
r. Hood of the regular White House de-
tail was particularly besieged by anxious
persons in quest of their lost little ones.
Mister policeman, exclaimed an excited

tured guardian, "have you seen anything
of small red-headed boy. with red cap
and a red REFER coat anywhere about

The policeman said he had not and the
woman scudded away to continue her search
for the boy in red She had just d1sap-
peared in the crowd when another excited
woman came up and asked him II ne ha'
seen "a little girl in black.
In that manner Policeman Hood was kept
busy answering questions as to alleged lost
children.
THE fact is" he said to a Star reporter,
mot one-tenth of the children reported to
us as missing are really lost. They have
just gotten temporarily mixed up IN the
throngS. Some of them, too, stray away
from their parents on purpose to get rid OF
parental restraint. SO they can give their
childish pranks full sway. Now. see that

The Pathetic Side.
A pathetic side of the joyous Easter egg
rolling at the White House today was pre-
sented by the children of the "other half
who went to the park to witness the sport
that was being enjoyed by the more fortu-
nate little ones
Ma couldn't afford to give me and sis
any eggs for today" said frowsy-headed
boy whose garments were patched. The
groceryman was charging 20 cents a dozen
for 'em. We couldn't even afford to have
any of EN- to eat for our breakfast
Soon the boy joined his sister. who had
found a couple of crushed eggs where they
had rolled into clump of bushes at the
slope of one of the hills. .
"CCme on, Dick" she said, Il have found
some hard-boed ones, and we Will go off
yorder and eat 'em."

ones at the White Lot today who made

colored and white boys and girls, to whom
they were no doubt genuine luxury.

entire body of priests bent forward with bowed
heads Reaching the center, the old man held him
self erect. He was naked, for the salmon-pin
waist cloth, the sign of the Sanyassn. His hair
and beard, long and flowing, were snow-white His
face thin and drawn and his large piercing black
eyes sunk deep in their sockets that they
seemed like Goals of fire glowing in a skull He
the most enacated human being ever Every
structural bone of his body visible. The bones
of the chest, the ribs, the leg and armbones, were
so prominent that he seemed like a dark skin

The staff which he bore ended in three prongs,
"Shiva's trident" Around his neck was a necklace
of large seeds On his forehead, chest and
the three streaks made with sacred ashes the sign
of Tri-Pnrdra.
He stood for few moments silently contem-
plating the priests, then waved the staff slowly
to and fro if blessing them Then, holding it
suspended for a moment, he drove it into the
ground with a strength that was unexpected and
surprising. He then cutched it firmly with his
right hand if for support. AS he stood there,
motioness for time, amid dead silence, I
surprised to see his frame growing rigid. Finally
he seemed to lose consciousness, but did not alter
his position After the lapse of several minutes-it
may have been less the silence and strain prolonged

placed upon a wooden platform The
lid, forgot to say, had been firmly
fastened with wooden pegs fitted into
sockets which were driven in with
mallets. The mallets were now used to
drive in wedges and the lid was removed.
The wrappings were unwound and the
fakes of wax removed from eyes, nose,
mouth and ears and the face carefully
washed. The yogis then retired and
the procession round the square to the
chant of ON" was resumed.
In course of the third round the body
stirred somewhat and finally the Par
anna Hansa slowly raised himself to
sitting posture and looked about him
like man awakened from sleep.

Eyes, nose and mouth firmly sealed with
some specially prepared kind of wax They lifted
the body by the cords and gently immersed it in the
melted wax. 1t was then lifted out and held suspend
ed till the wax whitened by cooling and becoming
solid. 1t then immersed again and again,
eight times in all. A group from another order
at the same time busted in digging grave.
There about twenty of them at work with
spades and shovels and the work advanced rapidly
till the hole was six eight feet deep.
The burial followed. To repetition of the chant
and the procession around the square, the three
old men placed the body in a rude wooden box
which served as the coffin and it was lowered into
the grave. The earth filled in and heaped in the
customary way in mound on top Into the mound
stuck the old mans staff, the trident of SILVA.
This ended the ceremony and the priests dispersed.
