the Interior Department. besides overflow
ing into the old Post Office Department ex-
tends its jurisdiction over the great pension
office and occupies number of large build
ings rented for the clerks of the census and
bureau Of education. The Department of
Agriculture rents annexes on practically
every street in it's vicinity, but soon an
imposing marble structure will include its
many laboratories and offices.
That Washington is "a city of govern
ment clerks" can best be realized in the
spring and summer season, when base ball
games are always called at 43O pm. to
allow their best patrons time to reach the
grounds. Throughout the year physicians
and dentists fix their Office hours between
and pm, and between those hours the
shopkeepers do their best business.
Easy Hours.
No one can gainsay that Uncle Sans
hours are the most generous in the world.
His clerks can sleep until 8 am, or even
until $50, in most instances They need
not reach their desks until 8, but are ex-
pected to be there the minute In each
department the employees are given a card
or blank on which musfbe entered a record
OF the minutes they are tardy or late each
DAY. Recently an official exhibited to me
two of these time reports, inscribed by a
Wag who, giving the required excuse for
one minutes tardineSs,s wrote:
The preceding noctutnal precipit ia tion of
Soii6Cehieo and the
subsequent dissemination of the crystalline
deposit by boreal disturbances necessitatins
a reluctant compliance with obnoxious
municipal regulations eonspired to cause
slight tardiness to say: y:nothing of the phy-
sical lassitude consequent upon unwonted
manual eXerton.'' p
Another's excuse for ten minutes tardi-
ness was this:
I'VE waited for the motor
While it refused to mote
Ihe language which was uttered
Was quite unfit to quote"
AS promptly as the time ball on the State
War and Navy building announces the noon
hour flood of clerk issues from the por-
tails of all government offices and sweeps
into the dairy lunch rooms lining each de-
partment square. In the attic of the State
War and Navy building, in the basement of
the Interior Department and treasury and
in hooks or corners of the other department
buildings are well-patronized cafes" with
counters spread with pies, sandwiches and
steaming coffee tanks. The proprietors of
these establishments receive generous con-
ceSSions from the government and do a
thriving business.
AT 1870 each clerk returns to his desk
and there remains until f. In hot summer
he Is usually allowed a half day off each
Saturday. In the course of each year he
enjoys thirty days leave for diversion and
can be away thirty days more on account
of illness, without losing his pay
In the Washington departments 127 diff
ferent salaries ranging from $1J65O to
$1,000 a year, are paid to the Presidents
subordinates.
