Within a very few days the 500 or
more bIuecoats of the Nations Capital
viii blossom forth on the cfty's streets,
each and every one of them with his
shirt decorated with a light summer
necktie OF a dark hue An order to
this effect was issued some time ago,
at least three weeks ago, by Major Syl-
vester, whose idea it is to dress his
men as cool1y as possible in the sum

pearance uniform and neat

the best texture and of very light mate

active police duty. are busiIy engaged
at the present time in practiCinE up how
TO fastcn their promised new neckwear
satisfactorily.
Indeed the new ties promise to make
the old vets" look as sprightIy as they
did in days Of yore," and nearly all.
both young and old are pleased with the
contemplated change With the addition
OF the necktIe within a few days. the
members of the Washington police force
will be the finest police force in APP
pearance in the United states, for there
is not another department in this coun-
try which has as yet forced its men
to don uniforms, shirts and and neck
ties Of the same description.
Major Sylvester's Plan.
Ever since Msjor Sylvester assumed
the position OF superintendent Of the
local Police Del artment, nearly four
years ago, II has always been his idea
to bring the force up to such a standard
that it can set an example for the other
departments all over the country.
The first material change he mad made
il the dress and equipments Of his men
was his ordering that those who former
ly decorated their night sticks or batons
with various colored tassels do away
with this ornamentation. This action On
the part OF the Major almost broke the
hearts of some OF the oId-timers whose
ideas OF decoration were of a decidedly
eTratic character, but nevertheless the
appearance Of the men as cody was
greatly improved
The next change made was the doing
away with the former belt buckle which
is worn with oveTcoats The old de-
sign was decidedly hard to keep fastened
and with the assistance Of one of his
men. William Amiss now resigned, who
acted as printer for the department. he
drew up the design Of the present buck
els which are of a decidedly better ap-
Dearauce and stronger
This Summers Uniform.
With the coming Of the present sum +
mer Major Sylvester decided that 1t
would be asking 100 much Of the men |
to keep their coats buttoned up while I
on duty and therefore he ordered that /
every man equip himself with a white 1
Dieated shirt OF handsome design
The latter was the most effective I
change that has been made in the de- I
