Guarded by Police.

The President and his family are well
guarded. A large force of policemen is con-
stantly on duty at all hours. both inside
and outside of the building. Every avenue
of approach is under constant surveillance.
and 1t would be extremely difficult for any
one to enter the building at any time with
out detection. As an additional safeguard
automatic alarm signals are fixeI at .if-
ferent parts of the building. and .eiegraphic
and telephone facilities are provided which
would suffice to bring strong military and
police force to the house with very little
loss of time.
Summer Residence..
Although the Executive Mansion is the
official home of the chief executive through
out his term of Office. he can rarely be
found there during the months of midsum-
mer. When the dog star Is ut its zenith,
and the residents of the crowded cities stifie
and droop under the hot rays of the sum.
mer sun, the White House is usually aban-
doned by the inmates for places Of supposed
greater salubrity Most of the more recent
occupants of the presidential office have
found 1t convenient to spend the heated
term In other places. President Lincoln did
not find 1t necessary to go far away for a
pleasant summer retreat. lie found 1t in
cottage in the Soldiers Home Park.
President Grant passed one summer In the
same place. and President Hayes did the
same during every summer OF his four
years term of office. President Harrison
divided his summer holidays between Cres-
son, Pa. and Cape May. During his first
term President Cleveland purchased su-
burban home, Red Top" near the juno
tion of Woodley lane and the Tenleytown
road. and lived there i'm thu summer time.
When he went out of .rffice .ie sold this
place at a great profit. Upon his return to
office. four years later. he leased a cottage
on the Woodley road. near his former place.
but occupied 1t only for n short :ime during
III rsp and FOIL III. ha md
his family have passed the entire summer
at Gray Gables, on Buzzards bay. What
the plans Of the President-s.lect are in his
respect are as yet unknown, but 1t is not
likely that he will change the custom set
by his predecessors and remain I'm che
White House throughout the summer.

Where Mr.. Mckinley Will Reside
for -Four Years.
PUBLIC AND. PRIVATE APARTMENTS
Interesting Events That Have
Taken Place There.
DESTROYED AND REBUILT

To the host of strangers now on a visit
to the national capital the Executive Man
sion Is q point Of interest second only to
the actual Inauguration of the new Prcsi-
dent. After seeing the ceremonies incident
to the installation Of the President-elect a
desire naturally follows to see the building
In which he will reside during his term Of
office. The official designation OF the Pres
ident's home is the Executive Mansion. 1t
IS sometimes referred to. however, as the
Presidents House, but the name by
which 1t is best known throughout the
length and breadth OF the land is The
White House." 1t was 50 called many years
ago. and the name has chung to it ever
since. Its appropriateness lies In it's abso-
lutte correctness as the building is as dis
tinctively white in appearance as constant
Iy-applied coats Of paint can make 1t. 1t
is the Presidents Office. as well as the
dwelling place of himself and family. While
still preserving Its original architectural
outlines of the early days Of the republic.
its internal arrangements have been thor
oughly modernized by additions and i'm
provements 1t Is provided with the most
approved methods for heating. ventilating
and lighting and lacks none of the modern
aids and essentials to comfort and conre-
nfence.
The Public Portion.
All the apartments are lofty. and many
Of them are large, and the halls and cor
ridors wide and spacious. What is
known the public part of the White
House Is on the first floor, ard includes
the red, blue and green parlors, the east
room and the main vestibule ami connect
ing corridors. Ordinarily the east room is
the only apartment always open to visitors
In the day time, admission to the others
being granted at stated intervals when
they are not in by the Presidents
family or their guests. Usually the public
part of the house is open to visitors every
day except Sunday from 10 to = o'clock,
but in inauguration times the hours have
been invariably extended both ways, so
as to accommodate the great crow is incl
dent to such occasions. Nearly every one
who comes to the Inauguration wants to
see the interior of the White House, and
ne or she is usually afforded every facility
ior gratifying the desire. Consequently, the
doors are opened to the public not later
than o'clock in the morning and are
not closed until or O clock according 10
circumstances. OF late years the newly
installed President has yielded to the non
uIar demand and devoted a few hours of
the earliest days Of his administration to
tne daily reception of the numerous
sI 81 rangers in the city who wish to pay
their respects to him in person. These re-
ceptfons are usually held in the east room.
ana there Is no reason to doubt that the
same practice will be followed by Presi
dent-elect Mckinley.

Ancient Image of the Infant Cnr1ss,

One Of the most valuable relics in the
collection Of the famous church of Ara
Coeh, Rome, is the noted image which
he's frequently been figured and de-
scribed in the investigative magazines
under the heading of 1.-THE Oldest. Doll
In the World" In Italy this valuable
carving is called "Il Bambino" (''The
Infantry, and legend says that it is fig
ure Of the child Jesus, carved from a
tree on the Mount of Olives, the iden-
tical one under which Christ underwent
the agony on the night before the cruci-
fxion. According TO the popular belief
it was carved by Franciscan monk or
pilgrim (accounts differ ON that score)
and painted by St. Luke. In Rome the
figure has been greatly venerated for
centuries on account of the power at
tributed to it of miraculously healing
the sick.
When cardinals and other high church
dignitaries and officials are supposed to
be on their deathbeds the ''Bambino" is
often taken TO the sickroom, and many
are the miraculous cures that have been
reported. When taken ON such missions
the ''Bambino" is never carried, but is
taken by a prelate in tan colored coach
over which floats the holy vermiIon
flag. There is legend that the figure |
was once stolen from its place in the |
church rehquary, but that it escaped |
and walked back. This supposed Incl
dent is made the subject Of poem by
Aldrich which bears the title of "A
Legend of Ara Coeh. st Louis Re-
