Miss Alice Abrahams, who ac- i
cepted a position In tho post office i
fcr the summer, after trying the :
work for the past week, has re*
signed, as the work was too severe.
Postmaster Klndell has been for- i
filiate In securing S. 11. Yooman's ;
for tho position as the arrival of i
mull boats during- the night makes
:t necessary for the entlro force to ]
be on hand to take care of the .
heavy mall which pauses through .
the Skugivay offico. 1
It is surprising to note how tho
patrons -of the office disregard the i
postal laws and regulations. I
Immediately alongsjdo of the <
stamp and mailing window Is u sign i
that hi1* been posted notifying all i
Prisons that mall bearing Canadian i
postage would not be accepted. Not- I
withstanding this sign, there is a ]
long row of lotters posted up above 1
the boxes bearing Canadian stamps,
Mid which Mr. Klndell Is unable io j
t nnsmlt, owing to certain postal i
regulations. There aro also sev- i
ernl bearing erroneous addresses, |
and not Infrequently, letters are I
dropped :n tho postofflco without I
any postage attached. Tho public |
is quick to criticise the department
wImi mail goes astrny, or Is held i
up in transit, but they should first ?
ascertain that all tho regulations j

Write the namo and address plainly, i

sible and soe that a return request
is placed In the upper right hand

SHUT-OUT GAME

Well In First ?amo of Season.
Xiiv Butter}' I'lajH the (iaine.
Although the Skagway base ball
team have not had a single prac
tice gam? thin season, the boys
showed gteat form yesterday when
they took tho game from "K" Com
pany, 30th Infty, team, notwithstand
ing the fact that Captain William
Brooke, the commanding officer of
the company was on hand, and had
;ssued orders to the toam to "win
the game."
The boys from Fort Seward, to
gether with a goodly number of
Ta.is arrived up on tho Gas Launch
Cotrlnno at 12 o'clock, and tho
team, after having lunched as the
guests of tho local team, repaired
to tho White Pass Athlotlc club,
tho eJlflce for a tlmo resembling
the Quartermaster's dpartmeut of
Lfce U. S. A., as each member of
llie team was issued a brand new
iJii of snow white flannel, striped
ivltb black, with blue and white sox
Mid wh'to chps.
In this Imposing costume the
loam marched to the diamond, and
n a fast and good natured game,
down to defeat to the tune of
> 10 u.
The lino up was as follows:
"K" Company:- Johnson, c., Du
rall, p., itubinson, Int., Meyer, 2d..
>mlth, 3rd., Calhoon, sh., Engstrom,
?f., Cleveland, If., Franklin, cf.

L. Rapuzzl, cf.
Tho local talent phowod up well
'row tho start, and made two runs
it the first, and three In ilio' sec
ond; during the next four Innings,
.1 c soldier boys picked up a little
>ud closed them out from making
ny runs, hut In tho seventh, they
Irought In three moro men over the
jlato, but failed to Increnso thlB
lend nnv In the eighth and ninth.
Matson, the new pitcher showed
;ood form, and considerable head
ivork In delivering high balls, taking
.ilvantago of the anxiety of the vis
tors to "hit It." which they failed
lo (fo. and tho mournful decision of
h? umpire "strlko" soon ended tho
Inning.
Tho soldiers lack practice, and
ilthough they are fairly up on team
i\ork, they aro weak with the
stick.1
Duvall, pitching for "K" did not
show up as well as he has In some
of the games played on tho Skag
it ay diamond, but he demonstrated
to all that ho knew the game, and
It Is a Bare prediction that before
long he will be ahlo to hold the man
with tho bat down closer.
1st Sergt. Smith is managing the
rort Sownrd boys, while Sy Tanner
ucted In that capacity for the local
segregation.
Private Mathews umpired the
gnnio for the first soveral Innings,
bu' ?ot cold foet, nnd was replaced
by one of the Haines spectators.
