How the President is Guarded.

The Boston Traveller says of the
Presidents body guard:
There never has been president
whose every movement is SO guarded
and whose person is SO we'll protected
Us the present occupant of the White
House. The arrangements at the ex-
ecutive mansion have always been
nearly perfect. but for some reason or
other Mr.. Cleveland has taken pains
to improve them, and, of course, his
own security as we'll. Thousands of
strangers annually visit the White
House without ever being brought in
contact with the president, and one
OF the most rigid rules of the establish
ment is that no one shall be allowed
up stairs who is not upon business
connected with the executive. branch
OF the government. Twice each week
the president comes down into the
east room and shakes, hands with
the two hundred or three, hundred
people who are always there to
greet him. Even then he is. not un-
attended. The big, pleasant-faced
gentleman who stands by his side is
one of the best detectives In the coun-

but strongly-built men who are scat

inside as we'll as outside of the build

dreamland. The force of watchmen
and detectives at the White House is
largely augmented by special details
from the police force Of the city, and it
is safe to say that no person of sus-
plcious character coa.d get within a
block OF the mansion without being
called upon for an explanation of his
character and purposes. The White
House is in telephone connection with
police headquarters as we'll as the bar
