about onc-third the species within the

The trap was set, and 1t did its duty. At

been invited came to tho White House and
participated. AT another affair the num-
Der of unlimited present was 100. The
manner in which tho intruders were de-
tected Is interesting As usual each
guest on advancing to the entrance of the
receiving room was told by an Official to
give your name to the officers, who will
present you" The name of each guest
was called out twice, first by tho officer in,
PRODUCING to the president and again by
the officer who made the presentation to
Mrs. Mckinley. The announcing was
done with distinctnoss But this year an
attacho of the White House stood in Sc
cluded nook and took down every name
that was called out. Comparison with the
roster Of the invited was made subsequent
ly, and in this way the names of tho unin-
vitcd were singled out, and the black list
was created.
This was not all. Doorkeepers from the
senate and house were present to add their
knowledge of faces to that of the White
House ushers. Alphabetical lists of tho in
vitod WERE In the possession Of che officials
When there was a doubt about any one,
the lists wore consulted. Some Of tho I'M
invited were asked for their addresses.
Subsequently, letters were addressed to sew

Most Of the letters were ignored. Several
