GRACE TOO SLIPPERY.
Hanson Couldn't I " Him Three
Times in TN Hours.

The audience which gathered at the
opera house to see the Grace Hanson
wrestling match Saturday evening, got
the full worth of its money in one Of
the cleanest and best exhibitions of
catch as-catch-can wrestling ever seen in
the state. According to the terms Of
the agreement, Hanson had to throw
Grace three times in two hours or
forfeit the purse, the winner to take
all, and as he was unable to deliver the
goods and only had the New York boys
shoulders on the mat twice during the
bout, the money went to Grace.
The match was at catch weights and
it was expected that Hanson would be
considerably the heavier, but the men
were about evenly matched in weight,
although Hanson appeared in consider
ably the better condition. AS the men
took their corners they were loudly ap.
plauded, Grace especially having made
many warm admirers in his visits to this
city
They started with all the tricks known
to the craft, and Grace, instead of acting
on the defensive wholly, as might have
been expected for the terms of the
maICl, LOOk tue oufuSiNG 1ulIF MS snare
Of the time Hanson apparently realized
that he had tackled hard proposition,
and got busy early in the bout and tried
his opponent out with various holds, but
Grace showed considerable skill and the
Swede was unable to hold him.
1t was only after A minutes Of ardu.
ous work that Hanson succeeded in gets
ting Grace's head in scissors hold and
with a body bar hold succeed in pinning
his shoulders 10 the mat
Both men seemed fresh when they
took the mat for the second bout, and
during this bout Grace gave Hanson even
a harder go than in the first. Hanson
finally succeed in throwing his man after
81 minutes. Hanson won the second fall
with head scissors and wrist lock which
Grace was unable to wriggle out of.
Hanson nad used up all but 25 min
utes Of his time in getting the first two
falls, and it was apparently with the
intention to finish the matter quickly
that he stepped onto the mat for the
final trial. He worked harder than be-
fere, but Grace was slippery as an eel,
and just as it would appear that the
swede had him sure, he would wriggle
from his grasp. Thus they worked until

Postmaster Morgan Of New
York Victim
ASSAILANT SHOT HIMSELF
Erick Mckay, the Wouldbe Murderer
Simply Inquired as to Identity
of Man and Then Fired
Revolver.

New York, Nov. Edward NJ. Nor
gan, postmaster of New York City, wa'
shot and seriously wounded today by
a man who accosted him on the street
near his home. The assassin was Erief
Mckay, a stenographer, who immediate
ly after his deed blew out his own
brains. It was at first thought that
Postmaster Morgan was fatally wound
ed but more hope is now expressed for
his recovery. When the assassin ap-
preached Mr.. Morgan he asked;
'Is this Mr.. Morgani"
On receiving an Affirmative answer
he pressed revolver against Mr.. Nor.
gan's stomach and fred. As his victim
fell he put the weapon to his own head
and fred fatal shot. He died probab.
ly instantly. Mr.. Morgan was at once
removed to the hospital. An operation
was there performed and it was found
that the intestines were not perforated.
On making that discovery the physi.
clans were encouraged and they now re-
port that Postmaster Morgan has a
good chance for recovery.
, The indications are that Mckay for
ssome time deliberately plotted to muir
der Mr.. Morgan, for a card was found
on the clothing, on which was written
in pencil:
'1n the evenet of any accident please
notify above firm" which was Hunt,
Hill and Belts, attorneys. Inquiry at
their Office today developed the infor-
nation that Mckay had been a steno-
grapher.
Before becoming postmaster Of New
York Mr.. Morgan was in charge of
many investigations of dishonesty in
connection with the work of postal
clerks of this city. The police have tho
theory that Mckay may at some time
have suffered from Morgan's vigilance.

POLL TAX RECEIPTS
EXCEEDED BY THEIR COST
Peculiar State of Affairs Displayed in
Boston as Result of Finance Com
mittee's Report.

Boston, Nov. 9.--Declaring that the
numbers of employees in the assessing
department in the city of Boston is ex.
cessiye and that the antiquated method
Of doing business is extTavagant, the
finance commission yesterday issued its
report covering an investigation of the
department through term Of thirteen
years. Recommendation are made
which, 1t is claimed, viii save the city
sol 900 a year.
The commission finds that from one
half to three-fourths the citizens escape
paying poll taxes and that the cost of
assessing and collecting is $4,000, or
more than the poll tax receipts. Ex-
trayagant pay, from $3.50 to s14 a
day, is paid copying clerks, when type
writer's might be employed at much
less expense, it is further claimed.
The commission recommends that a
system be devised to do away with
duplication of work in assessing polls,
that the work Of recording poll taxes
be simpliied and the payment Of the
polls be enforced; that the number Of
assessors be reduced from nine to five
end salaries and number Of employees be
reduced.

The Evening Service.

Il am here tonight to say that no
man goes to hell because he is thief
or drunkard or a murderer, but be-
cause he refuses to receive Jesus Christ"
declared the Rev. ID. S. Toy in an inspir-
ing sermon at the evangelistic meeting
in the opera house last evening, before
an audience that filed nearly every seat
in the house. The auditorium was
crowded with men, women and children,
and the balcony had to be opened up
and the overflow filed most of the, seats
there A mixed chorus of so voices was
seated on the stage and sang under the
direction OF Mr. Dickson.
The text Of the sermon by the Rev.
Mr.. Toy was, "He that hath the Son
hath life; he that hath not the Son of
God hath not life" The word Of God,
he said, says that by nature man is dead
spiritually and can only be made alive
through Christ Jesus. Unsaved souls are
dead. No one is more than two thirds
man or woman if he or she has not
received Jesus Christ. just so far above
the vegetable life is the animal life, so
far above the human life is the spiritual
hfe of the kingdom of Heaven. There
IS only one passport into heaven and
that Is Jesus Christ.
Jesus performed three marvellous mir.
acles which were intended to help those
who came after him. / refer to the three
resurrections that Christ performed, and
they represent three different classes of
people. One was raised from the bed,
a second was raised from the bier, and
the third was raised from the grave.
One was a ruler in the synagogue, the
second an only daughter, and the third
an only brother.
One of the hardest things we have to
do is to make people believe that young
children are dead spiritually If they have
not received Christ. l say that any
person without Christ Is dead. There is
no difference between a poor miserable
drunkard and young woman whose
character is unquestionable, but has not
received Jesus Christ. You say that the
drunkard is lost because he is drunk
ard, but that is not So They are both
lost because they have not accepted Je-
sus Christ It Is not yonr morality alone
that saves you. Il you win accept Jesus
