The Work of Selecting II Design Almost
Complete.
WASHINGTON, June pa visit was made
today to the room in the postotfice depart
ment wherein are stored the numerous
house letter boxes. The boxes are of every
conceivable design, all tagged and mum
bered and piled as. high as the ceiling on
three sides of the room. In the center of
the room is a long table strewn with models
of various sizes and designs. The commits
sion is still busily engaged comparing and
weighing the merits of the twenty letter
boxes, ali of which embody many of the
points called for in the circular prepared by
the postmaster general asking inventors to
send in models. No determination has vet
been reached, but the commission expects
to report to Mr.. Wananaker this week.
There are about a dozen models which
have been submitted by st. Louis
inventors. Several of these are said to
coma very close to the requirements. There
is upon exhibition in this room "A street
letter box such as is in use in Germany.
1t was sent to the postmaster general by
Consul General Mason from Frankfort-on-
the-Maln. 1t will be placed in the post
office museum. The box is heavy, cum
be some affair, made of auarter-inch cast
IRON, and weighs about 30 pounds. The
capacity of this box is at least four times
as great as TINT of those in use i'll this
country. The outside measurement shows
that it is about one and a half feet square
on the inside. There nre two apertures
through which to drop the letters, and an
Arrangement of steel teeth inside, 30 that
while an envelope slips in with dispatch II
would be a very difficult matter to with
draw a letter. The steel teeth come to-
gether in such Il manne as to make 1t well
nigh impossible to rob the box. 1t is also
more highly ornamented than Uncle Sans
post hoxea.
U on the corners are figures of n woman
probably intended to represent an angel,
and, or the sides are the cont of arms Of
the German postal service. The piece form
ing tho back of the box IL higher than tho
front and sides, and on the raised back

is painted white and in the confer is n rod

This is an easy question to settle

could c'ntroI the appointment
under the District government.

Whoever represents the District of
Columbia in the next national re
publican convention, it should be
looked after, that there is a clause
inse ted in the platform, to the
effect that it shall be necessary for
all applicants for positions under
the District government to receive
the irdoFGement of the Central
Republican Committee before any
appointment shall be made. This

cans as we'll as 10 democrats,

concerned.
