MCCOY AGAINST CORRfTT
THOMAS SHARKEY HAS DECIDED OPINIONS AND DOES NOT HE'S
ITATE TO EXPRESS THEM OPENLY.
NOM SHARkEY,

Tom Sharkey ought to be competent
to judge the respective merits of Jim
Corbett and kid" Mccoy, who are
matched to fight on August 30. He has
met both men in the ring and knows
their styles. The burly sailor has written
MS views of the coming battle etween
two of the cleverest men who ever put
on a glove. He looks to Mccoy to win.
This is What he says:
The fight which has been arranged
to TAX place between Mccoy and Cor
bett is one of the best,I think, that could
be arranged. 1t brings together two
men whose cleVerness is superior to all
others.
Now. I want to say first that I am
somewhat ~prejudiced against Corbett,
but I'm not going to let that interfere
with my views. They are honestly what
l believe and they can be taken for what
they are worth. I hope that Corbett's
head will be knocked off.
Mccoy ought to win that fight. He
will, too, if he is in anything like the
shape he was in when he met me. He'll
get tired soon. Eight rounds ought to be
enough for him to dispose of my old
enemy. =
M reason for thinking SO are these:
Mccoy is a fighter who has two styles.
He is as hard a hitter as any man in the
business, perhaps barring Fitzsimmons.
His punches are like the kick of a horse,
and l know what I'm talking about, for
I got a couple that made me view a sky
full of stors through a roof.
He's twice as clever as Corbett and

DEATH IS EVER PRESENT.

A factory for the manufacture of some
of the deadliest poisons known is located
not far from the heart of New York city
and sufficient poison is being made there
now to annihilate the whole population
eff the greater city, says the Evening
Post. 1t is guarded carefully from all
intruders and no one passes beyond it's
portals without a special permit, and
even employees a to be skilled in their
work and understand the nature of the
risk they take before admittance is
! granted them. In this factory is manu-
featured pure anhydrous acid, a drug
that is never placed OF the market in
it's pure state, and even in the chemists
laboratory it is handled with all the care
of a poisonous reptile. If the fumes of
this acid should escape the chemist
would never live to tell the tale. The
man who discovered it was killed by in
haling it's fumes and many another has
met a similar fate. From 3 to 5 per
| cent of this acid diluted with 81 parts
of water forms prussic acid. Even this
! poison is so deadly that inhaling its
| fumes would mean instant death and it
lis never handled except in the factory
! or a few large responsible laboratories.
Probably next in Importance to this
| acid is the cyanide of potassium, which
is manufactured in the same factory
| ONLY in another part of the building.
where a fire-proof and air-tight wall
| shuts it from the first. The fumes of
this are not poisonous and one can work
in the room where it is manufactured
| without fear, except he must not touch
it. The slightest quantity of the poison
in its pure state would kill If swallowed.
The fumes of cyanide of potassium have
| a rather pleasant odor and it is said at
| the factory that it has a witching effect
on workmen. Fol all the world the fin
iished poison looks like c~rystahized sugar
| and as YOU gaze on 1t and smell the fas-
| cinating odor there is a strong tempta-
tion to taste it. This fascination is
nraha hlv much like that which draws a
mar over a steep precipice. At any rate
the attraction to taste Of the poison is SO
| well recognized that a Is never
amawed in the room alone. In the mix
ing-rooom, where the men toll before a
huge caldron of molten cyanide. the scene
| is like that of some Old Witchhs cave.

summers ago, while tramping through
the forests in the northwest on a shoot
ing and fishing trip, to find the real
home of the shell and pea game. We
stayed a few days with the Indians of
the Sac and Fox tribe, and We're invited
one evening to enter a little game of
real cards. Some of our party had
seooped the Indians of nearly all their
ready money, in the white mans pro-

or his show that he is hat much better
than Cofbett. That game of his of way
ing his hands in front of his face is
enough to drive an opponent to despera-
ton. and when he gets him that far he
knows it. Then it is that he brings that
other game into play, a straight jab at
the head with his long left, followed by
a right hook. It's like a t~hunderbolt and
if Corbett ca nstand it then he's better
than | ever gav him credit for. I know
what I'm talking about.
"All the Kid will have to do is to get
in shape, be good and strong and he'll
win sure. But he must do it quick or
he'll lose the decision. Now this last re-
mark doesn't seem even talk, but I'll
explain: That stiff Corbett can't hit, and
the Kid is too game to quit before any
body. He'll fight the best he can, but he
hasn't the stamina and Corbett may out
box him.
I'm Corbett you find nothing of the
fighter. He is a boxer pure and simple,
with an injection Of the %sDrinter. He
can't hit to hurt anybody. With Mccoy
he doesn't class and that's why he'll lose.

It was a curious modification of the old
shell and pea game, n was played by
shuffling some baked clay balls about
the size of hickory nuts, under over
turned moccasins.
1.-The natural clumsiness of the moe
casins made us inclined to bite at the
game, but really it resulted in the same
disa strous results as with the neat little
shells in the and of the merry-gO-round
and race track. I was rather astonished
to hear the Indians say that the game
had been known in their tribe for over
200 years, and had originated with them.
One of our party improvised some little
wooden cups that did good service for
the trim shells and with some borrowed
seas showed the Indians how his pale
faced brothers did practically the same
trick, which,. of course, was new to
them. am quite convinced that the
shell and pea game is a Yankee Inn.
