FREE DELIVERY MAIL BOXES.
Improved Patterns Required for n
New supply.

New mail boxes for the rural free de-
livery service of the Postoffice Depart
ment will soon be required, and it is be-
lieved that the boxes now in use will be
superseded by receptacles of a more
modern pattern. The demand for mail
boxes for the rural free delivery is grow
ing with the increase in the system.
1t was said at the Postoffice Department
yesterday morning that the next boxes
obtained by the department would proba-
bly, be selected by a different committee
than the one which made the last selec-
ton. This committee was composed of
II. Conquest Clarke, f. II. Hathaway. A.
Is. Eisenhower, Milton Schaeffer. and j.
l.. Waite. The committee selected four
teen boxes out of a total of about eighty
varieties which were submitted. A large
number of manufacturers and inventors
of mail boxes We're disappointed in not
having their i,oxes accepted. and con-
siderable dissatisfaction has resulted in
consequence of the award. 1t is claimed
that the boxes selected were by no means
so good as some of those which were re-
jected by the Postofffce Department.
In the report of the committee to the
Postmaster General upon the selection of
mail boxes for the rural free delivery
system the statement was made that the
ideal mail box had not been produced.

LABOR DAY PREPARATIONS.
Entertainments Provided at Various
Resorts

Labor Day will be spent by the members
of organized labor in the District in holi-
day fashion. None of the members Of
any of the local labor organizations, no
matter what their national affiliations,
will be at work, except in such instances
as their labors are necessary for conven-
ience and necessities of the general pub
lie.
The three central bodies, the Central
Labor Union, District Assembly No. &C.
Knights of Labor, and the Building
Trades Council, have each organized out
ings and will spend Labor Day picnick-
ing in the suburbs. The trades
unionists will go to Glen Echo, where a

GEN. GREENE's COFFIN PLATE.
1t Has Been Returned to the Georgia
Historical Society.

The silver plate found upon the coffin of
the late Gen. Nathaniel Greene in the
vault in the old Colonial Cemetery, this
city, and which was taken North by Col.
Asa Bird Gardiner for the purpose of
cleaning for further identification, has
been returned by the Secretary of the
Rhode Island Society of the Cincinnati to
the custody of the Historical Society. The
announcement previously made that
chemical treatment of the plate had
shown, as was believed to be the case,
that the plate was from the coffin of Gen
Greene, is fully borne out by the plate,
now fully restored, though badly worn.
The inscription now stands out very clear
ly and reads as follows: Nathaniel
Greene Obit June 49, 1856 AE a years"
This completely establishes the claim to
the discovery OF General Greene's re-
mains 1t is proposed to enclose the plate,
which is quite small. in a glass case for
the purpose of exhibiting at the rooms OF
the Historical Society. The question of
the further disposition of General
Greenes remains was incidentally refer
red to, but was not discussed. 1t has
been thought likely that the Rhode Island
societies might make a demand for the
removal of the remains to that State with
view to the erection of a monument
there, but there has been no notice of
anything of this kind as yet. AT present
General Greenes remains rest in the
vault of the Southern Bank.-Savannah

pcake Junction Cases.

The women arrested in what are known
as the Chesapeake Junction cases, Rose
johnson, Lottie Brown, Fannie North
ridge, Jennie Davis Annie Smith, Mary
Walker, Madge Davis, and Blanche Lew
is, charged with vagrancy, were called
for trial in the Police Court yesterday.
The women ranged in age from eighteen
to thirty-five years and were all said to
be frequenters of the resorts at Chesa-
peake Junction. They were arrested at
the corner of Fifteenth and II Streets
northeast while returning from that re-
sort On Wednesday night.
Early yesterday morning Judge Kim
balls courtroom was packed with men
and boys who had been attracted by the
expectation of sensational trial. They
sat until noon listening to uninteresting
proceedings. When the women were
about to be arraigned the anticipations
of this audience were disappointed by the
announcement of Judge Kimball that the
court would be cleared Of all persons ex-
cept policemen, attorneys, witnesses court
officers, and reporters. The crowd ne

Leftwfch Sinclair INDUCED in lengthy
and spirited argument as to the mode OF
procedure This finally was settled, and
then Rose johnson and Lottie Brown,
represented by Lawyers Moss and KICKS,
respectively, were placed on trial. Messrs
Silers and Ryan demanded that their
clients should be tried separately.
The first witness for the prosecution
was Policeman Russell, who is duty
1n the section of the District adjoining
Chesapeake Junction. He said Rose
johnson was not the real name of one
Of the defendants. which was Owens. He
then went on TO state what he knew of
both the Johnson or Owens girl, and
Lottie Brown. He gave both most unen-
viable regulations. He was followed by
half dozen other policemen and street
car conductor. The latter not only cor
roborated the preceding statements, but
added damaging testimony against the
prisoners.
The Johnson or Owens girl tried to
relieve herself of the net that had been
woven about her, but In a feeble way.
The Brown woman denied emphatically
that she was bad pictured, but in
rebuttal evidence that overwhelmed her
was adduced, and the hearing ended with
the imposition Of fine of $40 against
each, with the alternative of serving six
months in the workhouse.
1t was nearly o'clock when the hear
lag OF the two women was concluded and
the cases OF the other six were continued
until Wednesday next.
