STREETS OF NAPLES
DR.. w. 3. LAFoRcE TELLS OF
NOVEL SIGHTS IN THE FAMOUS
ITALIAN CITY.
Island Of Capri and the Blue Grotto-
Beggards Numerous and Bold -
Herds Of Goats Driven Through the
Streets.

The street scenes of Naples and
the principal points of interest in other
Italian cities are described in an in
teresting way by DR.. w. B. LaForce of
this city in letter to his brother, DIR.
B. D. LaForce. DR.. and Mrs. LaForce
are now touring Europe and expect to
return to the United States the latter
part of August. The letter in part is
as follows:
The street life Of Naples is like that
OF no other city. In some respects it
compares favorably with most of the
large European cities, but on the other
hand 1t sis also the dirtiest it's people
the most careless, dirtiest and LATEST,
and the city swarms with beggars.
They are numerous in other cities of
Italy but If no place in Europe are
they SO many and so bold as in Naples.
1t seems natural that the lame and
the blind should ask aims when poor
but it seems that In Naples the chill
! dren of the apparently well-to-do shop
keepers are taught by their parents to
Aask for "soldi, soldi, gentlemen At
any rate, nearly every child one meets
from the age of to 10 years, ask for
pennies and even many strong, healthy
adults do not hesitate to beg If they
think they are likely to receive any
thing. Moreover, when they do not
beg, they expect a tip for any little
service done you, and which you would
never think of paying for at home.
Crowds Of Beggars.
Beggars, guides and cab men, who
almost force their services upon you,
street fakirs with all sorts of things
to sell, as maps, guide books, corals,
mosaics, fruits, ETC., soon become a
nuisance to travellers and sightseers.
One OF the interesting street scenes
at Naples is the herds of goats, num-
bering three to twenty or more, which
people drive around to be MIXED at
the houses instead of the dairyman
peddling his milk as in other countries
In one respect it is a good idea. as
there is no way Of the milk being di-
luted or adulterated It is surely an
amusing sight, but we were most as
tonished when we saw a milkman drive
two of the goats from his herd up four
flights of stairs In & nice looking build
ing across the street from our hotel.
After the goats had been MIXED they
were driven down again.
One of the faTnili3r and almost con-
slant sights is that of from one to half
dozen strings af clothing on nearly
all Of the houses, stretching from one
window to another This custom is
more or less common in nearly all of
the Italian cities. tut nowhere, think.
throughout Italy one sees in tia

Is reflected from the water as blue
color onto the walls. Objects in the
water, as ones arm or boy in bath
Ing, have a silvery blue color indie
scribable and exceedingly beautiful.
There were twenty-five or thirty boat
loads Of people in the grotto at the
same time, nearly filling 1t and 1t was
as merry lot as you can imagine.
After about an hours stay we de.
parted for the city Of Capri. After din
ner we took a ride through the town
and somewhat over the island and in
about three hours the steamer took us
to Sorrento, famous resort Of he
tifully situated on the bay and Gulf OF
Sorrento Here our hotel was on
bluff overlooking the water and we re-
NAMED there over night. The famous
Italian poet, Torquato Tasso, whose
writings have been translated into
nearly all the civilized languages, was
born here at Sarrento in 1914, and the
city has a nice marble statue to hi
honor.
A Famous Drive.
The next morning we started on
long ride to Amalfi and Cava, arriving
at the latter place about p. m. 1t is
one of the famous drives of Europe,
winding along the sides Of high bluffs
which borders the gulf and sea the
whole distance. The road is an old
one built by the Romans, many pic
turesque. odd ruins, handsome villas,
rugged projecting cliffs with cores
ponding inlets, sometimes with rugged
outlines and at others with shores of
graceful curves; little fishing hamlets
of dozen houses in some sheltering
nook; numerous vineyards and or
chards of olive, lemon and fig trees,
the the road spanning deep gulches
with arched bridges, at other times
winding under projecting rocks,
through tunnels or hanging, as 1t
were, on the side of cliff nearly over
the water altogether made a very in
teresting drive.
Arriving at Cava we remained there
overnight at nice clean little hotel
where the hostess was German
woman and as we generally through
out Italy have succeeded in passing
ourselves off for Germans thereby get
ting cheaper rates than Americans get,
we found ourselves quite at home, as
1t were. We left early next morning
for Pompeii and Vesuvius.

Kidney diseases cause more deaths
than any other human affection. This
is because they come on 30 silently,
and are, therefore, neglected.
When the kidneys are well, they re-
move from the body every day nearly

onous waste.
When the kidneys are sick, this poi
son, Is carried by the blood to every
part Of the body. 1t causes rheuma-

and give complete relief, because their
influence is exerted directly upon the

NELSON STILL AFTER BRITT.

Battling Nelson is still on the trail
of Jimmy Britt. Billy Nolan, man
ager of the Great Dane, yesterday
made another futile attempt to in
duce the native son to sign for a bout
with the battler. Britt will not talk
fight for the present, so it now looks
as though Nelson will hook up with
Corbett next month.
1t was expected that the pair might
be signed last night but Nolan will
not come to terms with the Denverite
till he tries Britt a few times more.
Then there is a little trouble about
the division of the purse and Nolan
and Morris Levy, manager of the San
Francisco Club. will have to settle
that between them.
Nolan says he will pit the Dane
against Britt on any terms the latter
may desire. The weight does not fig
ure. says Nolan. neither does the di-
vision of the purse. The only stipu-
lation he makes Is that Billy Roche
be barred as referee. Nolan says Mel
son is also open to boz Cans at 133
pounds at o'clock.

TAKES A LEAD
Sigourney Captures First
Game in Billiard TOurna-
ment From New Yorker

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-W. H. Sigourney
of San Francisco won the first game,
class A, amateur billiard tournament
begun at the Chicago Athletic Club to-
night. His opponent was Charles 5.
Norris of New York.
When the Pacific Coast representa-
tive reached the 900 mark his oppo-
nent's score was but 212. Sigourney's
average was S 4-37, while that of Norris
was 22-36 Although defeated, Norris
made the high run dII. ing the contest
When Sigourney fell down on an easy
shot, having only one point to go to win
the game, Norris, who had been play
inC in hard luck all the evening. made a
run of 46. He was too far behind his
opponent, however. for the run to do
him any good, and Sigourney ran out
the necessary 300 on the next time up.
Sigourney started off IA the lead with
A run of fourteen. Norris first inning
netted him four points. Sigourney cone
tinued to lead up to the sixth inning,
when Norris, with a run OF twenty
nine, gained q lead OF two points. In
the next inning, however. Sigourney
again forged ahead with run OF -FOUR
teen and remained in the lead until the
finish.
Sigourney played a consistent game
ali through the contest, while Norris
who appeared to be in bad form. was
rather erratic, missing many easy
shots. He had twelve goose eggs scored
against him in the thirty-six innings
played. sigourney made seven goose
eggs, and this cut his average down
during the latter part OF the contest.
