UNTEER TO ASSIST THE GOV.
EMINENT DURING STRIKE IN
ST. PETERSBURG.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. l,t.-The
strike in st. Petersburg has played
havoc with the postal arrangements
and has afforded an opportunity to
number of famous women to dem
onstrate their patriotism.
When it became an impossibility
for the government to deliver the
mails. volunteers were called for,
and among those who responded
were several women of title and
number of popular actresses.
OF course they do not tramp from
house to house like the regulars"
in the service. The St. Petersburg
woman postman of today drives to
the door of the lucky recipient of
correspondence. in her carriage or
automobile, and often a page or
footman carries the parcels into the
houses.
At the postofiice many fair hands
manicured and bejeweled, are en-
gagged In sorting mail. The air Of
the office, once stale with tobacco,
is now fragrant with soft, sense
soothing doors, and it is whispered
in quarters where jelousy dwells
that there Is more tea drinking
than work performed,
Among the "postmen" are Mile
Postkorsa, the famous opera sing
err; Princess Ourosoff, the Countess
Mordvinoff and Miles. Labunskava.

to receive a medal of honor for
gallantry at Guasimas in June,

which was quite out of his line as
medical officer. 1t is notable that

steal is worked, but this feat was
pulled off successfully by the Min

Kansas City Blues, was doing the
boxwork for Twins men. The Mil

inning. In that round Sullivan, the
first Minneapolis player up singled.
Sully then stole second and few
minutes later was advanced to
third by a neat single from Free
mans bat. Coulter watched four
wide ones go by and walked.
Schmidt then forced Sullivan at
the plate and reached the first
station on a feeders choice. Free
man in the meantime had advanc-
ed to third and Coulter to second.
With three men on bases and
only one down, Eels became nerv-
Gus. Manager Watkins, sitting on
the MIXERS bench, signaled for
triple steal. Schmidt was lead
ing off first. Eels threw to Mas
sey, the X. C. first baseman. in an
attempt to nip the German. Quick
