BURNT CORK OF COMMERCE
Small Factory in New York Supplies
Minstrel COMPREHENSIVE
Said to BE Declining.

There is a small factory on the Bowery
where burnt cork used by minstrel COM

present day is manufactured. The bust
ness was started in 1877 by Ed. Mills,
an old minstrel When he died his widow

she retired, selling out to German,
who used to be Waterman in one Of the

Originally it vas sold in hanks or

For several years past there has been

farmers claim that the refuse matter

SUFFER FROM THIRST.
Most Boxers When Training for
Match Go Through IA Painful
"Drying-Out" Process.

During the final days of the period Of
preparation which Corbett and Hanlon
made for their remarkable battle on the
Pacific coast continual reference was
made to the 'drying-out" process which
both men were said to be undergoing.
There are few patrons of the game, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, who
realize just what this means, but there
is hardly a boxer of prominence, aside
from those in the simon-pure heavy
weight class, who has not suffered all
the torments Of the damned while the
"drying-out" is going on.
Drying out" is occasioned by the ne
cessity for the fighter to make the
weight determined on for the bout, to-
tai abstinence from liquids of all sorts
being the prime essential in the process
Happy is the fighter who can battle at
the standard mark of his class without
