AMERICUS PLAYED
ERRORLESS GAME,
Held Albany To Thirteenth
Inning.
coNiFF's MEN WITH THE GOODS
Play ed the Prettiest Game of the Sc a.
son-Score Stood One In Thirteenth
Inning When Rain Ended The Game
Yesterday Afternoon.

Conlff's Buys were right there will
the goods when they tackled the AL
bany bunch yesterday in the hotties
game played this season Even well in
the thirteenth inning the tug of war
went on, when shower of rain ended
the game
And there the score stood one to one
hot game indeed.
Albany got only two hits off Whalen
and was charged with two errors. On
the other hand Americus got two hits,
and played the game through without
an error.
Three cheers for Coniff and his boys
Americus lifts her hat this morning to
all of them.
Conlff put two brand new planks in
the Americus platform yesterdsy-men
who knew ball from a red balloon
and they made good. The fact that
Americas played an errorless game in
dicates the variety of work put up by
''ihe boys"
WhaIen pitched a beautiful game
while Col. Stephens, the old reliable,
sat under the bat. Posey and McOor-
mick worked for Albany.
From start to finish the game was
one calculated to keep the rooters yell.
ing. In the 18th inning Americus was
at the bat, with one man on first base,
one at the bat, and one ball-no strike.
1t was then that PIuvius saved the
other fellows.
A score of to in thirteen innings
is game we'll worth seeing.
II the weather is good today the last
game with Albany Will be played, an6
the Americas team will come home to-
night to get ready for next week. And
then will Americus people see sure
enough ball played at the grounds.
Coniff said he was going to play bail
and the first chance given him in yes
terday's game proves that he will make
good his promise.
Here is the score of this spirited
game by innlnge:

SEEING SICILY.
Not to Know This Island Is Not to
Know Greece.

Not to Know This Island Is Not to
Know Greece.
There are some lands which have al
ways laid a spell upon the mind upon
the imagination, upon the heart Greece,
above all other countries, has eltranced
the mind. The imagination has ever
loved the east-Egypt, the Indies, for
gotten Asia, the almost as mysterious
Asia of today. For most of us the
home land is the country Of the heart;
for many, it may be, it is Palestine,
where was lighted the fire at which
the hearts Of incalculable millions are
still warmed. Others are content to
say with Emerson in the fine essay on
"Heroism," THAT country Is the fairest
which is inhabited by the noblest
minds" But, above all other lands,
there is one which has at once impress.
ed the mind, the Imagination and the
heart of western peoples. When Il IA
nous poet declared that on his heart
would be found engraved the word
Italy the words voiced the emotion Of
a multitude in every country of Eu-
rope and in the great northern con-
tinent oversee.
To see Sicily, the old Garden of the
Sum-" as the poets have loved to call it,
is not to see Italy though there may be
a measure of truth in Goethe's remark
that not to know Sicily is not to know
Italy. In a sense one might more tru-
ly say of Sicily that not to know it Is
not to know Greece. In another sense,
however, we have in this most beau
tiful of islands the intensification of
Italy. Whatever is most Italian is In
evidence here, though it is Italian of
the south and not of the north What
a gulf divides them is known only to
those familiar with the whole PENN.

THE NASAL OF AFRICA.
A Queer Race Where the Men Be-
come Old at Thirty.

A Queer Race Where the Men Bee
come Old at Thirty.
The young men of that African race,
the Nasal, are all warriors, theoretical
ly, between the ages approximately of
seventeen and twenty-seveH. When in
this stage they are known in their own
language as ell moran. They pull the
head hair out to its greatest length,
even sometimes twisting and plating
fiber and string into their wool. The
hair is then thickly coated with mutton
fat and red clay and tied into perukes.
All hair on the face and body is pluck
ed out by iron tWeeZers. The skin is
kept constantly fabricated with NUT
ton fat mixed with red clay, but as a
rule the body is not disagreeably oily,
and this fabrication only has the result
of giving a beautiful polish to their
statuelike forms.
AS regards the body there is proba-
bly, no more beautifully formed typo Of
man than the young Nasal warrior
The face is sometimes in keeping with
the body but more often has rather
brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes, but obviously received a very
long while ago a slight infusion Of
Hamitic blood from races dwelling to
the east Of the White Nile. While they
are in the young stage the
Nasal live principally on milk and on
blood drawn from the veins of living
cattle. They also occasionally eat the
meat of oxen, goats or sheep.
When a Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about and has
accumulated sufficient property Oh
which to retire he decides to marry
This is usually about the age of TWEEN
ty-seven to thirty. After marriage he
shaves his head, or at any rate keeps
the hair of his head very close cropped
He ceases to anoint himself with NUT
ton fat and definitely ranges himself
with the old men

ing about the action of Tut
Springer at his mother-in-law $
funeral, day before yesterday.
You see, her and Tut had
never been what you might call
wholly reconciled to each other,
and when it came time for the
procession to start for the Gene
terry he insisted on riding on top of
the hearse instead of in the first
carriage with his wife and the pre-
siding elder; and it took the com
bined persuasion OF Mrs. Springer,
his brothers in the lodge and the
elder, and the promise of pretty
fair coon dog and a darn good
licking. to get him to go back
where he would look htten. I'd
know whether he'd taken a dram
or not; the disputed point is
whether he could properly be
said to have been mourning or
celebrating, and if SO was he right
or wrong? Some OF the fellers
that are arguing about it have
mothers in law and some are
bachelors and-dad blame it-I
hate these ere discussions where
both sides are right and there
amt any show fer ever settling
the question to stay settled!"
