EDWIN l. MORGAN SHOT.
Wounded by Erich Mackay, .

LATTER TAKES OWN LIFE
Wounded Man Hit In Stomach, but

New York. Nov. 9.--Not far from

The shooting of the postmaster oc-
Cured early this morning.
Mr.. Morgan had left his home for
the postoffice and had just reached
the corner of Broadway when the man
stepped in front of him. There were
several persons within few feet OF
the two men. but none of them heard
word spoken, and the first intima-
ton they had of trouble was when a
short rang out and Mr. Morgan fell to
the ground with bullet in his stom-
ach. He lost consciousness immed.
lately.
| For an instant after the shot had
been fired the assailant stood looking
down upon his victim. Then he raised
the still smoking revolver and press
ing it against his forehead pulled the
trigger. The bullet did not cause a
| fatal wound and once more and then
a third time the man sent a bullet
crashing against his skull. The third
bullet penetrated the brain and the
man fell dead. AS he lay there with
the revolver still clenched In his hand,
several persons who witnessed the
double shooting rushed to the assist
ance of Morgan, whom some of them
recognized. A physician was called
from house nearby and was with the
wounded man within a few moments
after the first shot was fired.
When the physicians made a close
examination they found Morgan's
wound not so serious as at first sup
posed. II is believed the walls of the
stomach were not penetrated by the
ball and the postmaster has chance
| for recovery.
Morgan has been connected with the
postal service at New York for more
than quarter of century. He be
gan as letter carrier thirty-one years
ago and worked his way to the top.

years ago. At the office where he
was employed Mackay was held In
high esteem and his employers say

Mr.. Morgan regained consciousness
while the physicians were working
on him. He said he never saw his as
sailant until confronted by him before
he was shot He knows no reason for
the attack, he said.
The only excuse known for the
shooting was Mackay complained to

Evolution Of Baseball.

In its department of Questions and
Answers" the Galveston News gives
this condensed history of the origin
OF baseball:
Henry Chadwick, the Father OF
Baseball" who died last April, al
ways claimed that baseball was
evolved from the English game OF
rounders. As early as 1S47 Mr.. Chad
wick played short in an amateur
nine in Hoboken, n. J. Mr.. A. G
Spaulding who must at least be called
an Uncle" of the game, attributed
to it a purely American origin. A
any rate, the sport was of gradua
development, permitting various claims
to be made. Philadelphia writer's say
that their town ball in 1889 was
practically baseball. New Workers
claim the honor for their Washing
tons" organized in 1S4S. The "Knick
erbockers," who played at Hoboken II
the 4Os, first formulated the rules Of
the game. The game acquired ma
tional official footing in 1858, wher
the clubs in and about New Yorl
headed a National Association Of
Baseball Players"

LEARNING TO SWIM.


Persistence In undertaking Is laud-

by Y. L. Molloy in "Our Autumn Hol-
lday ON French Rivers" Mr.. Molloy
and his friend, longing for a good dive,
went to swimming school on an ISL
and in the Seine They donned their
rented costumes and were preparing
for the plunge, when a man with ropes
came along and insisted on tying them
about their waists. 1t was according
to police regulations, and although they
made an indignant protest, they were
obliged to submit
While we were dressing, says Mr..
Molloy, we asked the two swimming
masters for an extra towel.
Pardon" they replied, 1--WE must at

Then we saw that there had come
upon the platform short and absurd
ly fat man, dressed in bathing cos

what a splash he'll make!"
The swimming masters received the
new arrival at the middle of the plat
form. There he balanced himself on
his stomach on a wooden stump two
feet high. The masters seized him by
his hands and feet, and with slow and
deliberate movements made him strike
out with the action of swimming. They
kept this up for quarter of an hour
and the perspiration rolled off him In
great drops.
Hell be awfully hot to go into the
water after that" said l.
But he did not go into the water
The swimming lesson over, he moved
toward the dressing room, saying:
II have done better today"
"Ah, yes" answered one of the mas
ters "YOur progress is admirable"
The fat man beamed with complais
