Answer to Above.
Americus, Ga., Feb. 6, 1891.
Messrs. Peddle & Co., Chica
go, Ill., Gentlemen:—I shall
not trouble your agent to call
on me this season. When I
purchased of you it was be
cause I thought that I could
not get clothing in my own
town which would be satisfac
tory in price and fit. Having
given a trial order to John R.
Shaw, the champion Clothier
and Outfitter of this city, I am
so well pleased with the result
in every way that I shall con
tinue to give him my patron
age. Yours respectfully,
America* will surely have a base ball
team.
And one too that she or any other city
would be proud ot.
This is no more than was expected,
but definite steps were not taken until
yesterday afternoon.
It has been apparent for some time
that everybody here was anxious for
pleasure in this line, and all were more
than desirous to see the national game
again portrayed on the diamond. It is
a recognised fact that in Americus there
are players who cannot be excelled any
where by amateurs, and by few profes
sionals. The natural pride arising from
tbis knowledge, caused their desire to
be greater, for certain in the beginning
of the victories which must await our
nine, the people were, of course, more
anxious for the organization.
And then, too, the national game holds
a dear place in the hearts ot all, and tc
see a few more spirited encounters is the
heerty desire of all. The game has been
greatly neglected in the south for the
past year or two, and the reaction of
this indifference has come. Americas
cannot support a full professional team,
such as could enter the proposed south
ern league, but we can have a nine of
mostly amateurs whieh can give a tough
fight to any, be they professional or not.
This the boys themselves recognized,
and yesterday afternoon they responded
in force to the call in Tub Timks-
Recokder.
At four o’clock thero were a number
present, and by four and a half nearly
all the players of the city were out.
Then came a practice game. Bats, balls,
gloves, protectors, masks, and all were
on hand, and the practice was most in
teresting to players and spectators.
A nine was not organized, but the
b'ys got together, and say that they are
surely going to have a team, and a team
that will be invincible. They know the
quality of every player, and will soon
have each assigned to a position.
No assistance is asked in the organi
zation of the nine, and the boys intend
to arrange all the preliminaries them
selves. They want to get fully orga
nized first, and to do this there will
liavo to be some more playing. This
afternoon they will play again, and if
you ever indulge in the national game
you are wanted out The best players
are wanted to make up the team, and
you may be one of them.
They will play every fair afternoon,
and it Is needless to add that the people
are glad.
Challenges will be issued to neigh
boring towns and cities soon, and play
will begin In earnest

OBEDIENCE TO THE DEATH.
▲ DtlteUbU Anecdote of Napoleon, tho
Cur, aad the Frostian King.
The editor of Gil Bias vouches tor the
troth of this story: Napoleon I was en
tertaining the Cxar Alexander and the
Prussian king at breakfast in Tilsit,
when the conversation tamed on loyalty.
‘‘My soldiers obey ins blindly," said
the czar.
“And mine are anxiona to die for me,"
added Napoleon.
At tho suggestion of the Prussian king
a test of devotion was agreed upon. The
royal party were breakfasting in the
fifth story of a building that faced a
paved street. Each member was to call
in one of bis soldiers and command him
to jump from tbe wludow. Napoleon
made the' first test.
“Call the Qardiste Marcus," he com
manded. and Marcau appeared.
“Will you obey any order 1 give you?"
asked Napoleon.
“Yes, sire."
"Blindly, whatever it is?"
“Blindly, sire."
“Then jump out of that window.
“But I haTo a wife and two children.
sire.”
“1 will care for them. Forward i"
And the Gardiste Marcau, with a mili
tary salute, walked to the window and
leaped out.
“Call a private of the body guard,
ordered the czar, whose turn camo next
Tho soldier come.
“What’s your name?"
“Ivan Ivanovitch."
••Weil, Ivan, just throw youroelf out
of that window."
“Yes, father," answered the guards
man, and he did it.
“Command tho bravest of my soldiers
to come here,” said the Prussian king to
his servant A six foot uhlan, with a
row of orders across his breast and n
scar on his forehead, entered.
“My friend,” explained the king,
show their loyalty a French and a Rus
sian guardsman have jumped at com
mand from that window. Have yon the
pluck to do the same?"
“Is it for the fatherland?" ■
“No."
“Then I refuse to do it."
Gil Bias thinks this anecdote contains
a fine lesson for German army officers
of the piesent.

Damages for a Delayed 31ei*age.
The stato supreme court of North
Carolina has confirmed tho action of the
lower court which awarded to J. T.
Young, of Craven county. N. C., $10,000
damages against tho Western Union
Telegraph company. It is represented
that last year "Young’s wife was taken
very ill in Columbia, 8. C. Mr. Young
was at New Berne, N. C., and bis wife
telegraphed him that she was sick, and
requested him to come to her at once.
He did not get the message until six
days later, and in the meantime Mrs.
Yonng died and was buried, Young not
knowing of either fact till all was over."

A Fascinating Painting.
A Russian artist, Nicolai, has set Ber
lin agog by exhibiting his painting of
Christ before Pilate. It is said to be
horribly fascinating, and the salon where
it is displayed is crowded to suffocation.
Critics agree that it is vastly inferior to
Mnnkacsy’s painting of tbe same title,
sc far as art is concerned, bat they ad
mit that it baa power.—Kate Field’s
Washington.
As the neck dressings grow larger,
richer, showier in texture and more ver
satile in form, tbe scarf pins, as if regu
lated by a temporising hand, become
more chastely simple in design. A plain
old gold ball of tbe circumference of a
five cent silver piece, stndded with tur
quoise—a revived pattern—is very dis
tingue.
Pipes ore coming into fashion again,
bnt only in offices and out of sight of the
public. Possibly the time will come
when a man will feel justified in pro
ducing a pipe in the smoking compart
ment of a car here, or in stalking alonf
the street with one, after tbe fashion ol
the yonng clerks in England.
