Dozens of ko- daks were turned upon some part of the parade, some conspicuous figure or some striking decoration. The Indian school section was photographed from every side and all these pictures will embellish far-away homes and teach that in Phoenix things are done prop erly and in order. The crowd at the reception was big enough to have made crush, but the same orderli- ness prevailed, so that a more digni- fled occasion of that kind was never witnessed. The ball at the Hotel Ad- ans was a fitting end of the festivi- ties. It was brilliant and delightful affair and was pronounced by persons of experience to be the most enjoyable public ball they had ever attended.

WHITE HOUSE BLACKLIST.
Names of Uninvited Persons Who Crowd Into Receptions Procured.

Washington, Feb. 22-The White House has a blacklist. It is an inter- tions. It goes to prove that there are persons who own fine clothes and who are not so thin skinned as to remain away from places to which they are not invited. The invitations given this year to the White House recep- tions were prepared with unusual care. Lists of the invited were kept and cards were issued to individuals by name. The heretofore indefinite and indiscriminate land ladies" was not employed. That there might be no misunderstanding, the secretary to the president and the gentleman asso- ciated with him in the management of details let it be known through the newspapers that steps would be taken to detect any who came without invi- tations. But the method to be en- ployed was not explained.
 The trap was set and did it's duty At one reception 213 persons who had not been invited came to the White House and participated. At another af- fair the number of uninvited present was 150. The manner In which the intruders were detected is interesting As usual, each guest on advancing tc the entrance of the reception room was told by an official to "give youl fo In off Ir you" The name of each guest was called out twice, first by the officel introducing to the president and agail by the officer who made the presenta tion to Mrs. Mckinley. The announc ing was done with distinctness. Blu this year an attache of the Whit House stood in a secluded nook ant

The Nary Department Too Busy
 to Observe a Holiday
WRECKING CONTRACT SIGNED
Resurrection of as Much of
 the Maine as Possible
A General Denial Given Out of all Sensational Rumors Which Have Been Prevalent in the Air for the Last Week.

Washington Feb. 22.-All the gov ernment departments were closed in Washington today save the navy de- partment where a few officials assem- bled to receive any dispatches that might arrive and to close a contract with tie wreckers for the recovery of the effects on the Maine and the vessel herself if that be practicable. The signing of the wrecking contract was the most important event of the day and this concluded, the officials closed up shop and went home to enjoy respite from the rush of the past week.
 Captain Sigsbee was heard from in attention will be given to the coal bunkers by the court of inquiry. Washington officials unquestionably have been for some time preparing for any emergency that may arise, but appearances at the department today would indicate that the necessary or ders have already been given and that the situation is not one calling for immediate activity in Washington.
 The Castine and Cincinnati, in ac- cordance with orders made known some time ago by the Associated Press, are to move much further north to West Indian waters, and at Norfolk the monitor Terror has been ordered to be in readiness and may be sent to New York later.
 The senate passed bill to add two artillery regiments to the strength of the army This measure has been urged for many months by the off cials of the war department, who foresaw that while congress of late years had taken measures for the pro- tection of our coasts by additional ap- propriations for extensive work and great guns, it had not provided the men necessary to operate these en- zines of war. Should the house pass the bill it will enable the department to carry out the plans it has long held in view. The criticisms lately passed upon the state of the army and our Notifications have caused increased activity in military matters and to some extent this is responsible for the reports arriving from various quarters of movements at army posts.

IN AN ODD FIX.
Twenty Four Probationers Want to bs'
 Made Policemen.

New York, Feb. 22.-Twenty-four policemen appointed by the old board in December are in rather an odd fix. As probationers Of the old city force they are receiving pay at the rate of $1,OOO year. If they were now to be advanced to full membership on the force they would, under the charter, have to begin on $500 in the lowest patrolman's grade. Meanwhile the board is hesitating whether to appoint them at all. The board of estimate refused it money for more policemen, and it has now more in the consolida- ted department than the other charter allows. It has asked the corporation counsel what it shall do.
 The twenty-four are going to school meanwhile, and are getting way up in police business theoretically Some of them have been attending the school over sixty days. The usual limit is month. They are not saying much, because now they are $200 bet ter off than their best chance with a change.

GOLF WAISTCOATS AND SHIRTS.
Golf has many fashions to account

way of recompenSe for this diminishing
of the body portion, a more generous

Another conspicuous device is that of

jeweled belt is by no means at the end
Of its service. Touching the question
