FINE AND DANDY
Government Officials Now as Ornate
as Pullman Porters.

When the immigration and customs
officials reported at the federal build
ing today the bystanders thought the
postoffice was to be f<Pinched'' by the
police. The new uniforms arrived yes
terday, together with the huge caps,
adorned with insignia and braid. If
the uniforms become too conspicuous,
the unhappy wearers have one consola-
tion-the buttons can be detached.
The suits are heavy broadcloth and
fit like an English automobile suit. The
buttons shine like headlights.
That the government employees who
have to wear the uniforms are sore is. a
mild way of putting it. If the clerk at
Washington who was responsible for the
order could have heard what was said
this morning he would probably have
turned as red as the coats are blue
The suits have to be worn only during
business hours and most Of the clerks
are fitting up dressingroom where
they can change when the clock strikes
