CHAUTAUQUA INTEREST INCREASING EACH DAY

A Fine Program Os Interesting Entertainments Pleases Audiences. Syracuse’s first Chautauqua has been making a big hit this week and has been attracting people from miles around. In spite of the rainy and sultry weather the crowds have been good and the interest and enthusiasm of the people has been at a high pitch. Syracuse is fortunate to be one of the towns on the Lincoln circuit this year as it has made possible the maxium talent at the minimum cost to the community. On Monday the opening day appeared William Sterling Battis, the famous Dickens interpreter, James R. Barclay, the clever cartoonist, and Angie Belle Battis and Miss Beers, soloists. The work of all won the vociferous applause of the large audience. With lightning like rapidity Mr. Barclay drew clever crayon sketches, accompanying them with a catchy monologue, part humor, part pathos, and part homely philosophy. Alternately he had the audience laughing and crying He amused and entertained yet beneath all there was a strong current of practical and helpful truth. The work of Mr. Battis was especially pleasing. All his life he has studied the works of Charles Dickens until they have become a part of his life. He has seen more in them than mere stories; more than just elaborate descriptions and grotesque caricatures. He has gleaned from his long study the fundamental moral teaching which underlies all of Dickens' works. In the afternoon Mr. Battis read a number of acts from thie dramatization of Oliver Twist and at night portrayed some ten or twelve of the best known of Dickens;’ characters in costume. Everybody was delighted with the

realism and effectiveness of the interpretations. On Tuesday appeared Dr. Eaton, the old line Chautauqua favorite. He gave a wonderful lecture at night entitled “A Trip Across the Milky Way.” Dr. Eaton is a lecturer on astronomy at the University of Wisconsin and gave a discussion of the heavenly bodies which for instructiveness of material combined with popular and interesting delivery could not be excelled. The lecture was illustrated with a large number of views showing some very beauti ful star and planet clusters. After the evening progragi was over every - body was given an opportunity to look at the moon through his powerful telescope. The music on Tuesday was furnished by the BaileyMiller Concert Trio who took the audience by storm with their excellently rendered selections and their immensely pleasing platform presence. They went at their work as though it was a pleasure and gave the best that was in them every time They closed their evening program with a selection from the opera “Faust” which drew forth the unstinted praise of the Chautauqua patrons. Wednesday came the ClarkeWalker Co. and Dr. Chas. A. Payne. Mr. Clarke is a splendid baritone soloist and is now engaged in his fourth Chautauqua tour. He sang a number of old English and Irish ballads with excellent effect and to the great delight of the audience. Miss Walker, the pupil of the great Fritz Kreisler, is an exceptional artist. Special mention might be made of her rendition of the “Caprice Vienneis”, which was of remarkable brilliancy. Throughout her work she displayed tonal qualities which compared favorably with those of artists somewhat greater in name. Dr. Payne lectured in the afternoon on the land and at night

“ft pm/ A \Ja V M IlltO D i' - >

gave an illustrated travelogue on “The Alps and the Rhine.” Dr. Payne has an easy but effective manner on the platform, he uses simple but expressive language, and portrays with startling vividness and realism the scenes he wishes to present. Today is Farmer’s Day at the Chautauqua and one of the best programs of the week is to be presented. Prof. E. L. Morgan, the Apostle of Country Life, is the / lecturer of the day, speaking in the afternoon on * The Conservation of the Soil and Scientific Farming” end tonight on the “Modern Patriotism.” Prof. Morgan has made a special study of farm problems, both social and technical, and he comes with a message for everybody in this community. Another big attraction today is Bland’s Big Brass Band and Orchestra, one of the best instrumental music companies on the Chautauqua platform this summer. In the afternoon they appear as a band and prelude the lecture of Mr. Morgan, but in the evening they appear as an orchestra giving a big concert both before and after the lecture. Mr. Bland and his men give one descriptive piece that alone is worth the price of admission, “The Battle of San Juan Hill”. This piece is rendered with the utmost realism by the Orchestra and invariably brings the audience to their feet as it ends up with the * thrilling notes of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Another number of great intesest is the xylophone solo, given by Harry Jones, considered by many critics the best xylophonist in America. On Friday comes Dr. Harry G. Hill, a popular lecturer from Indianapolis. He speaks in the afternoon on “One Sided People” and in the evening on “Heroes in Overalls.” Dr. Hill was as a youth a laborer in a factory and is the son of a mechanic, so he has a warm feeling for the laboring man and his lecture at night is an appreciation of the work of the honest laborer. With Dr. Hill comes Mrs. Emma C. Matthews, a clever reader and soloist from Chicago, and Prof. Louis Williams, who demonstrates some of the wonders of chemist ry, electricity and magnetism. He has a large quantity of apparatus which he uses to explain his work as he proceeds. On Saturday comes the Dixie Male Quartet, a popular company composed of four young men from the South, and the Hon. Charles H. Poole, a member of Parliament from New Zealand. Mr. Poole has come from his far away country especially to appear on the Lincoln Circuit this summer. New Zealand is the most progressive country in the world and Mr. Poole is one of the men that helped make it so and in both his lectures on Saturday he will explain the progressive legislation and the democratic conditions prevailing in that far away country*

At times some assert, that smoke has been 1 seen to issue from these pipes. It may be that this is a long extinct volcano preparing to burst forth. Anyway this spot is watched with interest and the Journal will give an explanation as soon as something definite is learned. Funeral of J. W. Nusbaum. i The funeral of J. W.

Wash thoroughly and let stand over night in cold water with a tablespoonful of borax. This frees the. vegetables from bugs and cleanses them. Clean beans and put on the stove in hot salted water, just enough salt to flavor. Do not cook until soft. Can and add two tablespoons full of good vinegar, then seal. When opening for use pour off the brine and parboil till done and season. This is a safe and tried recipe. Mrs. Clara Reilly.

Our Motive. It seems that some of our subscribers still misconstrue our actions in regard to collections. One has quit us because a blue pencil mark appeared on his paper one week before his subsciption had expired. This pencil mark is not an insult, it is merely a notice given in a business spirit. This mark will appear about a month before your subscription expires and will adorn your paper until the account is settled. It is simply a memory jogger. Home On Furlough. Ralph M. Jeffries came from Philadelphia, Friday to spend a furlough that will expire August 7. He asserts that the navy has its disagreeable features but taken as a whole he rather likes it. His term of enIsitment will expire next June and as yet he is undecided as to whether he will re-enlist. Mr. Jeffries is now a petty officer on board the IJ. S. S. Minnesota, being rated as Chief Machinist’s Mate, and has charge of one engine room and with 25 men under his orders. The Inn In Darkness. An accident to the engine at the Inn last Sunday night put the lighting system out of commission and caused the management to depend upon the method of our forefathers for illumination. The crank shaft on the engine broke, but by using only what power is necessary, they will be able to get along temporarily until permanent repairs can be made. In a letter received from Harry Ketring of Michigan City, he states that it is his intention to make a visit to Syracuse in about two weeks.
