Why Tt Was Named Rubber,

From the Philadelphia Record
A recent report from a British consul
in one of the Central American states
gives the following as the origin of the
name rubber, as applied to caoutchouc:
An English artist discovered in ITO
that the new gum was admirably
adapted for rubbing out pencil marks.
He wrote a paper on the subject, and
Informed his contemporaries that a
cubic inch of this substance costing
only shillings, would last for three
years. 1t was used for no other pur-
pose in England than effacing lead pen
ell marks for about half a century after
this discovery, hence the name rub
ber." After the Introduction of the raw
material and the scientific description
of the plant by Frenchmen it was first
manufactured into waterproof clothing
in France toward the end of the eigh-
teenth century. Later on the firm of
Mcintosh, Of Manchester greatly i'm
proved on the French idea, and manu-
featured Water-proofs on large scale,
and macintosh is the name by which
water-proofs have been known since
that time.

THEIR OPINIONS.
Sharkey Modestly Asserts He Is the Best
Man in the World

Man in the World.
New York, Jan. 11.--After the fight
Tom Sharkey made this statement: Il
won this fight square. I simply knock
ed the man out and did it in good time.
I thought 1 would win about the
tenth round and told my seconds so.
My eye was blackened a little but
otherwise 1 am unhurt. The blow that
knocked me down was a dandy, but l
knew 1 would recuperate. The kid can
hit hard and fast but l have some
speed myself and as for hitting, I let
the public judge of that. When 1 got
up from the knockdown blow I was
still strong and the one minutes rest
put me all right again. Mccoy is a
good game fellow and l give him all the
credit in the world. I think I am the
best man in the world and believe l
have deserved-at least I have met
them all and each time got the money.
Nobody can say anything about this
fight, but the fact is I knocked my man
out. I am ready to fight anybody for
the championship of the world"
Kid Mccoy said: Il am defeated but
I still think I can whip the man who
got the decision. I had Sharkey prac-
tically knocked out in the third round,
as any one who saw the fight will
agree to, but I made the mistake of
being too cautious and waiting for a
better opportunity to finish the job. The
blow he struck me which sent me down
was one of his wild swings, all of which
/ had been able to avoid with ease and
it was entirely a chance that it landed
However, it did land was effective and
it is my fault. But as I said before
still think / can whip Sharkey and will
do so if l get another chance. I don't
like to make any charge of foul work
against my opponent but I was struck
twice very low. Of couse I am heart
broken over the result, but it can't be
helped. I realize that I was up against
a hard game; against a man consider
ably heavier than myself but anyone
who saw the third round of the fight
will agree with me when I say I have
got a very good chance to defeat Mr..
Sharkey if we meet again.
Referee Tim Hurst said: There were
no fouls committed. If there had been
I should have disqualified the man who
committed it. The blow of which there
is some question, was planted in the pit
of McCoy'S stomach and sent him to
| the ground. I saw it land The fight
| ing all through was very fair and the
men broke clearly when ordered to-.
Mccoy was counted out while lying on
| the ropes in the tenth round and I had
| already awarded the fight to Sharkey
| before Mccoy was upon his feet. Shar-
key did not know this at this time and
| was busy counting out the seconds
| over Mccoy and had no idea that Shar-
| key would punch him again, but the
| sailor lost his head and struck Mccoy
swipe on the back of his head which
| knocked him down again and I was as
mad as l could be when I saw it done"

a Story of Jenner.

From the Chicago Record
The recent death of Sir William Jen-
ner, physician-in in ordinary to Queen
Victoria and the Prince of Wales, re-
calls an amusing story which that emil
nent medical man was fond of telling
at his own EXPENSE. Some years ago
the late Sir William Gull the physician
who achieved fame by saving the life
of the Prince of Wales when he had ty-
phoid fever, years ago, and Sir William
Jenner had their homes in the same
street in London-Harley street if my
memory serves me. DR. Gull prior to
coming up to London, had been a COM
paratiVely obscure physician in Nor
folk, whereas DR.. Jenner's prestige in
the capital was established before his
colleague was known there. One day a
stranger in London called on DR.. Gull
in his absence. Il really can't watt
he said to the butler. Il must take a
train in an hours time. Can you di-
rect me to some other good physi-
cian?"
The butler scratched his head and
ruminated. well, yes he said final
ly. ''Per'aps you'd better go across
the street to DR.. Jenner. ELS a very
respectable practitioner, sir, very!"
