CATHOLIC CLUB
PLAN BIG SHOW
Minstrel Performance Next FRI;
day Promises to Be Record
Winner for Amateurs.

Final arrangements have been COM
pleted for the minstrel show and re-
ception to be given next Friday eve
ming by the members OF st. Columba's
Catholic Club in st. Columba's Hall
PENNSYLVANIA avenue and Thomas
street.
The s%oloists, ends and chorus have
worked hard to make It a success, and
those connected with the club predict
that ii will be the best performance
ever given In this city by local anna
tours.
The rehearsals have shown surpris-
ing snap and go. which Is rarely to be
found among amateurs. and the per-
formers feel that they will do them
selves justice on the evening of the
performance.
The troupe is unde the direction of
Professor Frederic II. Yeomans, who
has gained quite a reputation as a
producer OF minstrel performances and
as a pianist and o%rganist.
Hns Worked with Might aud Main.
Professor Yeomans is also the pres
ident of st. Columba's Club, and for
that reason has worked with might
and main to make the performance a
noteworthy feature OF the pre-Lenten
season. His friends say that he has
accomplished this, and even more, and
h a a large attendance will surely be
on hand to the young men
in their efforts to amuse with songs
and jests.
Thomas j. Farley will be the inter
l%ocutor. Mr.. Farley is we'll known in
local Knights of Columbus circles, hav-
ing been the in~terlocutor in the last
minstrel performance given by the local
knights.
On the ends Will be: Bones, Julius
Grishele, John Donnegan and Paul
Rowe; tambos, Joseph NJ. Yeomans,
John LOTUS and Edward Reilly.
julie Grischele and Joe Yeomans are
rated as two of the best end-men and
black-face comedians In this vicinity,
and by their funny sayings and antics
keep their audiences In q continuous
roar of laughter.
The two Jacks, Lotus and Donnegan.
are also excellent entertainers with the
~tambourines and bones, while Reilly
and Rowe are two youngsters who
promise to hold their own with the best
of them.
Some Excellent singers.
Among the soloists are numbered
such excellent singers as Frederick
Schubert, tenor of the Dominican
Church choir; Fred Felter, a baritone
of note; William Wright, jr.. a tenor:
Leo p. Carew. a strong high baritone
with an excellent range, and James
Sheridan, a high tenor, and James r.
Caffrey, a deep basso, both having
voices of M mean ability. and both OF
whom are members of the st. CO.
lumba's Church choir.
A feature of the performance will be
] the chorus singing and dancing.

COOKING BY A CAMP FIRE.

Dear Little Men and Little Women. One
Saturday afternoon I went with a few
friends over TO New Jersey 10 have a good
time. We took with US a pound Of sliced
bacon, two loaves Of bread. some marsh
maloWs and a few sweet potatoes. Reach
ing New Jersey. we tramped several miles
through the woods until NC came 10 huge
rcck which sheltered us from the cold
moist air from the river. Then We got
several fiat stones to make a fireplace
and after several discouraging attempts
finally started the fire. We cut some long
switches. which We sharpened to a point
and hung the bacon or these over the
fire. When the bacon began to sputter and
hiss we put it on "a piece of bread ana ate
It. When Va got through with the bacon
We put tie pot1tCes in the ashes OF the
hre, and At the same time toasted marsh
mallOws These were held over the fire In
the sam manner Is the bacon, and when
one side became brown like a freshly
baked loaf OF bread the top was eaten
and the same operation was gone through
with the remaining piece. We then took
the potatoes out OF the fire. they were
cooked by this time. and told stories and
sang songs until nearly o'clock. when we
walked through the silent woods to the
