Some idea of the attention that the Bal

to its passenger traffic may be gained
from the fact that during the past eigh-
teen months nearly 800 passenger cars

696 being reprinted. Nearly all of the

Nearly all the cranks are arrested when
they first enter the door of the White
House. They do not understand the
routine of reaching the Presidents office,
and generally make their business known
to the policeman Who'll stationed at the
door or to The chief usher, who is for
mer policeman. Policeman Cissel, who
guards the main entrance of the White
House, is an experienced man. He has
held his position for a numbe. of years,
and knows a criminal as quickly as a
crank Captain Dubois, the chief usher,
is equally efficient in this line. Between
these two men the crank's wandering
mind soon unfolds, and then he is taken
away to a station house if he is consid-
cred badly deranged. If he is halfwitted
and absolutely harmless he is told to go
home, and no attention is paid to him.
Captain Dubois and Mr.. Cissel scru-
tinize all callers at the White House and
shrewdly diagnose every case. In their
years of service they have seen many
men call at the executive mansion, and
have learned, if any two men ever did, to
read the human being without much trou-
BILE.
Cranks frequently do not get as far as
the front door of the White House. Some
of them encounter the policeman who pa
trolls the grounds in front of the execu-
tive mansion. They relate their stories
to him and he acts without consultation
with the other officials.
Went Away Satisfied.
Only once since the administration of
President Mckinley began has a crank
reached the business part OF the building.
He wanted to see the President, but if
that could not be arranged, Secretary
Porter would do. His atfliction was
quickly seen, and he was quietly watch
ed by several employees, one of them
policeman, who is detailed to clerical work
in the executive offices. He was French
man and had travelled much. He wanted
some trivial matter regulated. An assist
ant clerk, representing Mr.. Porter, heard
the mans story and promised to attend to
what he wanted. The man went away
satisfied and has never returned. 1t
would have been a difficult task for this
man or any other to reach the President
Nearly every unofficial caller at the White
House has to relate his business to some
clerk or doorkeeper. If he wants to see
the President he must talk with some one
else In this way his trouble is detect
ed. Charles Loeffler, the faithful old
doorkeeper of the Presidents room, has
an eagle eye, and has never failed to spot
a man of suspicious character. Mr..
Loeffier has little to say at all times, but
he knows his business, and is ever alert
During the time when Mr.. Cleveland kept
himself so closely confined to his Office
Mr.. Loeffler is said to have had some
queer experiences.

rotary, Mr.. Thurber, dreaded cranks, and

President Cleveland prevented trOuDle on
many occasions. This force was reduced
after President Mckinley came in. Presi-
dent Mckinley, unlike his predecessor,
has no fear of cranks. He goes in and
out of the White House when he sees fit,
and is not accompanied by detectives, rid
ing or walking at distance behind him.
While the officials at The White House
prevent cranks from reaching him, 1t is
as much to prevent disturbance of his
business as anything else. The President
has never been molested at his trl-weekly
public receptions, and there have been no
unpleasant features at any of these. Ii
there were cranks among the hundreds of
people with whom the President has
shaken hands at each reception they have
lassed unnoticed. More trouble has been
experienced from importuning Office seek
ers at these receptions than from any
other source. These have been unable
to see the President during his office hours,
and wait in line with the throng of Wis
itors to catch him at receptions. When
they reach the President they stop to pour
into his ears their woes. The officials
who stand on each side of the President
hustle them along, however. Once or
twice there has been slight resistance 10
this, and the men had TO be told very
plainly TO move on or take the conse-
quences.
Disappointed Office Seekers.
This class of men often take position
at the end of the line of visitors, thinking
by being the last the President will give
them some time. He would probably be
illing to do so if the officials did not IN
terfere, following orders. This is the
nearest approach TO eranks the President
has yet had. In point of desperation this
class of men are regarded as worse than
the genuine cranks. They have been dis
appointed in getting what they want. and
are in a desperate mood when hustled on
and fail to get to say what they desire
to the chief executive. These men do
not get an opportunity to see the Fresl-
