HOW you MAY REFORM,

Reformers OF the. city. who have
been leading something of = for orn
hope the past weeks In trying to have
the postotfice closed on Sunday, may
now, In modified form, see their
labors bear fruit. The absolute clos.
ING OF the office on Sunday cannot be
accomplished. for it would req uite
the suspension for Greeley alone Of
one Of the regular rules Of the posta
department, and we know that it
takes something more than a sml.l
reform wave to get special dispensa,
tions from that department.
What may be done, however, Is the
changing OF the hour of keeping the
office open. This to any fairmindet
citizen should be altogether sut-
gcient. 1t cannot then be urged
that it interferes with peoples going
to church and will also give the
postotlice employees the opportunity
should they wish to attend services
The plan is now to keep the Office
open, say from 10 to II a. m, IN
stead of from II to /. This much,
Postmaster Gray may do, but he
would like some moral support from
he people on the matter. Now, II
you really want TO do something for

what they now know.
Nobody has had any doubt that
there would be plenty of moisture
during the months of May and June
to keep things a whoopine. but the
trouble has been in getting things
started The continued cold weather

fatal injuries, while the infant was saved from
death and injury by striking the body of his

Mrs. Abruzzo was using a small oilstove to
prepare some food for the smaller child when
the stove suddenly exploded The blazing oil
was blown in every direction. and in few sec

the spread of the fire that Mrs. Abruzzo was un

Before the excited crowd could reach her Mrs.

COUNT DIES SUDDENLY.
Russian, Husband of Former Opera
Singer, Ermres IN Hotel.

There seems to be mystery about the death
of Count Augustus Sackersdorff. the husband
of the late Nine. Sackersdorff, once a well known
opera singer at the Hotel Diana, in West 33th
street early last night. Half an hour after a
room had been assigned to him the clerk re-
ceived a call from the Russian count saying
that he was not feeling we'll and asking that
physician be sent to his room. The clerk sent
a hurried call TO the New York Hospital. hut
DR. Foote. who responded, found the count dead
DR. Foote diagnosed the death as heart dis
ease but the police of the Tenderloin station
are inclined to believe that death may have
been due to unnatural causes. According to the
police they learned several days ago from
friend of the count that the latter did not ex-
pect to live much longer.
Count Sackersdorff was more than sixty years
old At one time he considered wealthy
and was pencil manufacturer
Nine SackersdorT died in the Victoria Annex
early in January. At the time OF her death
there was pet dog in the room which refused
to leave her body until it was taken away by
