Last Saturday night the Pistakee Yacht Club Juniors made their debut by giving their First Annual Minstrels. The entertainment was a pronounced success from beginning to end. At its close many of the older members of the senior yacht club made the remark that the juniors had Eclipsed every program that had been rendered at the club house before. . The opening chorus was the popular song, "I've Got Chicken on the Brain." This was sung before the curtain was raised. Nearly every one in the audi­ ence had his eyes wide open and his neck stretched out in his eagerness to see where all the noise came from. Suddenly the curtain popped up and disclosed a semi-circle of little "picka­ ninnies" with big white eyes and red lips, with flashy neckties and white duck trousers. They were greeted with loud, shrill whistles which completely drowned the voices of the singers. Then followed a number of popular "coon" songs by the different members of the company. Among these the "bones" and "tambos" kept the audi- i lence in merry humor by a number of unique and original jokes. The pro­ gram closed by a song and fancy dance by Ethel, Willie and Leonard Lorimer. The officers of the P. Y. C. Juniors are: Leonard / Lorimer, President; Arthur Solomon, Vice President; How­ ard Gun ton, Treasurer; Fred Wilk, Secretary. Alderman Brenner, of Chicago, is oc­ cupying one of N. H. Pike's cottages and will remaiu until the season closes. Miss Ada Pelzer who has recently L A K E R E G I O N been visiting at "Quiet Nook" has re­ turned to the city. One of the most interesting races on Pistakee Bay was sailed last Saturday. There were five yachts started, with hafdly a second's difference in time. The "Tuck" sailed by Misses Peters and Hertz, the only young ladies who have ever manned a yacht without the assist­ ance of an experienced sailor, led and showed the entire course to the other boats. It was indeed a great surprise to all, for they were all crack yachtsmen who sailed the other boats. "Nip" sailed by Messrs. Martin Hertz and Howell finished second with the "Irish" closely following. The "Jonah" and "Fortune Teller" also ran. Sunday evening a party of young folks held a sacred concert at Bellevue cot­ tage. Among the participants were Misses Pelzer, Peters, Hertz, Messrs. Charles Fallows, Martin Howell and Harold Cook. Mrs. Pease has been visiting Mrs. Peters the past week. . Monday afternoon Howard Gunton entertained twenty young people at his home. Next Saturday evening a dance Mill be given at the Pistakee Yacht Club paVliiOu. An August 18 Commodore <and Mrs. Hertz will give a reception and ball at the Pistakee Yacht Club pavilion. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walters has been out sojourning at Bellevue cottage over Sunday. Last Tuesday Commodore Hertz brought out to his home the beautiful Boyce trophy which his new yacht tfcife "Harriet H" captured on Lake Mich­ igan, July 4. Rarely is a club meeting enjoyed with greater interest and zest than is that of the Ladies Pistakee club and the gather­ ing Wednesday, Aug. 1, was a repeti­ tion of the same enthusiasm that has characterized all the meetings. About forty ladies were present at the pavilion when the president, Mrs. Gunton, called the meeting to order. The usual busi­ ness of reading minutes of previous meeting which were approved and pre­ senting bills which were acted upon came before the club. The entertain­ ment committee for the following week was appointed by president as f^lows: Mesdames Vinnedge, Stilling, Hoffman, Misses Cottingham and Conklin. 'ftie entertainment committee composed of Mesdames Hert^, Eckhardt, Wilkes and Wightman assumed their duties and ac­ quitted themselves right royally. Tally cards for the tables were given out and all were soon deeply interested in the thirteen games played. The prizes, two beautiful silver spoons, were won by Mrs. C. C. Chapell and Mrs. Moelman.

Chicago wholesale dealers in butter are demanding to know why the state law against the substitution of oleomar­ garine for butter is not enforced. The Butter and Egg board met Tuesday of last week to discuss the situation. President John W. Low was authorized to name a committee of three to call upon Food Commissioner A. H. Jones for an explanation. Two thousand Chicago grocers are said to be Belling butterine or oleomar­ garine for butter. The federal law pro­ vides that imitation butter must be marked plainly, and the state law, which became effective on July 1, re­ quires that with each purchase the buyer must be verbally informed of the character of the article. Neither statute is being enforced, the wholesale butter men declare, and they accuse federal and state officers of willful failure to do their duty. One wholesale dealer stated that there are those who see a reason for the present condition of affairs in the fact that William J. Moxley, a manufacturer of butterine, is a close friend of Con- gressmrn Lorimer, and tKat both are friends of Governor Tanner. The Illi­ nois Dairy union has obtained a copy of a letter sent last fall to retail dealers in the northern district of Illinois by Mr. Moxley, assuring the dealers of protect­ ion to the extent of paying all fines and costs, and saying: "Until the color law ia decided uasonstitutlo;^! by the state supreme court we will make it unpleas­ ant for some of those who are attempt­ ing to interfere with your and our own legitimate business." The butterine dealers it is claimed as­ sert there is a butter trust, which, if butterine could not be sold as genuine butter, would raise the price of the lat­ ter product. It i» a Curnte.

Are ThejrXihar 1ty Gifts to Publishers f There are doubtless people in this com­ munity, as there are in many others, who harbor the idea that every time a news­ paper man receives a complimentary ticket to an entertainment or race meet­ ing or any such institution, it is an act of charity on. the part of the promoters towards the poor printer, who is un­ able to pay his way like ordinary moi- tals. Such opinions frequently come to our notice, and we feel called upon to correct the impression, for it is abso­ lutely erroneous. We have a recent instance in mind, in which a promoter of a certain entertainment withheld the usual compliinentarieH that are extend­ ed in ordinary civilized communities, in which the editor counted up the locals given to help push it along, and they figured up just $12.30, which would pay for more than twelve season tickets at $1 each, and yet tio comps were issued the press. The Sentinel does not ask something for nothing, and always tries to be generous towards local enterprises, but we contend that such conduct in the way of lack of ap­ preciation is discourteous in the ex­ treme. The^e is not a newspaper in the state of Illinois that does not pay two to. one for every complimentary *it re­ ceives, as the files of papers will demonstrate, and a man must ^e lack­ ing in good horse sense who can not see it in that light. A complimentary is not a gift, but to the ordinary man of good sense it is but a slight recogni­ tion of valuable "• services paeformed. When will people ever learn this fact? The newspaper's columns are its source of revenue, and when it gives space ^onerously for nothing it is entitled to the courtesies that prevail among civil- izde people.--Woodstock Sentinel. ^ The wolf in the fable put on sheep's clothing because if he traveled on his own reputation he couldn't accomplish his purpose. Counterfeiters of De- Witt's Witch Hazel Salve couldn't sell their worthless salves on their merits, so they put them in boxes and wrappers like DeWitt's. Look out for them.

The following story is taken from The Philistine for July: Here is an Antique, warranted Hand --Made, given me last week in New York, by Tom Reed: An Irishman was hanging over the rail of a Coney Island boat. There were others hanging over the rail, also. An officer of the boat stand­ ing near Pat, sought to console him, or divert him or something like that, and to open conversation the officer said to Pat: "My friend your stomrch seems to be a trifle weak!" And Pat turned^ to the officer in a scrappy mood and replied. "Ho-ho! so me stumick is wake, is it? Ho-ho! well, bedad, I think if you watch me a minut, you '11 see I'm thro win' as far as any of thim!" Now £lbert Hubbard, who is editor of The Philistine, may have heard this story from Tom Reed and even been misled so far as to think the story orig­ inated with Reed, but there are a num­ ber of people who can testify that James B. Perry, told this same story long be­ fore the July Philistine was printed. We do not, however, say that Mr. Perry is the originator but we think The Phil­ istine does not always give credit where due. / • Very Low Excursion Rates to Denver, -Colorado Spring)) and Pueblo.

(Continued from page one.) off by a cannon ball from the Union! batteries. The house itself had several times been struck during the siege with shells, one entering the rear of the large double parlors and passing entirely!" through both parlors burried itself inf < the front yard without exploding. The convention having closed its work Tuesday morning, I, with other dele-i gates, started for Chattanooga, where I spent the afternoon in sight seeing. I ascended Lookout mountain by way of the incline railway which, near the top, ascends 60 feet out of the 100, and seems perpendicular to look at. «Froin the summit of the mountain I bad a fine view of Chattenooga, and the several positions occupied by the union and con­ federate forces as shown by the guide. Descending the mountain I passed east­ ward to the national cemetery, where lie buried 12,900 of those who fell in those furious battles. The cemetery is a beautiful spot of nature artistically arranged and maintained with excellent taste. The fields of white headstones with here and there special monuments make a "sad, but beautiful, spectacle. At 9 o clock I returned to the train to find a number of delegates, with whom I journied to Cincinnati and home to Chicago, arriving on the evening of the '9th, completing a pleasant, but labor­ ious trip through stunted cornfields, fields of cotton and tobacco, the prin­ ciple products of the South. The waters were turbid generally, but when freed from the clay substances held in solu­ tion, very sweet and pure. I put it down as one of my most pleasant trips. JACOB STRAUB.
