THE PRESIDENTS CENTENNIAL VIsr-
ToRs.-It was generally noticed during the
summer months that the number OF Centen-
pial visitors in our city was smallest on
White House were fully as numerous as on
saturday. They began fiockipg there early
this morning, all eager to see and shake
hands with the President, which privileges
was accorded them all. They are usnered
into the aute-room until fifty or q hundred
are congregated there, when they are all per
who STANDS in the center OF the room near
his table, TO receive them. He has always
received the unceasing stream OF visitors TO
the White House without COMPLAINT yet
with rather Indifferent air, but since his
return to the city he seems to wear a more
good humored air and the shake of his hand is
more cordial. Some visitors wait outside
until the Icrowding is over, thinking that
they will get better chance to "interviewD
the President, but as soon as the last one is
out the door Is shut, and the few stragglers
who waited have to wait longer for the next
squad. The President receives his business
and official callers between Centennial
visitors" which latter occur every ten or
fifteen minutes.
