"a eIessflant Of size and shape never be-
fore looked upon by man occupied the
next position in the line of march, and
then came the Inevitable clown in his
traditional equipage, the cynosure Of ali
eyes and the envy Of every small boy in
wn. The rear was brought up by
literal ''horseless carriage. The parade
was cleverly conceived and well carried
out, and it was the consensus Of opinion
among ali who viewed it was one of the
most unique and bizarre displays of its
kind on record in this community. This
is not surprising in view of the fact that
the pageant was originated, designed and
executed by Mohawk Tribe of Red Men,
which has never been known to make a
failure of anything it has undertaken, and
is locally noted for the delightful nature
and uniform success of its entertainments
in the past.
The automobile parade, which followed
the burlesque display, was one of the
finest sights ever seen on the streets Of
this city, there being some fifty hand
some machines in line, representing an
aggregate value Of 100000.
In addition to the cars owned in Don
aldsonville and vicinity, there were
automobiles from New Orleans, St.
James, Assumption, Lafourche and
Iberville. an especially large number
coming from the latter parish. Some of
the machines were prettily decorated
with flags and bunting and many were
occupied by bevies of beautiful girls
handsomely gowned.
After traversing several of the principal
streets of the city, the parade proceeded
to Louisiana Square and disbanded

Th@grand open-air festival given in
4ouisiana Square last Saturday, Sunday
and Monday, under the auspices of the
Dona9sonville Progressive Union and fol
the Bfnefit of the Louisiana Square inn
provefnent fund, resulted in an unqualified
success, both from an artistic. social and
financial point of view, and proved one OF
the most attractive and enjoyable enter
tainments Of its kind ever given in this
community. The location was an ideal
| one for such an affair, and the weather.
SwhiIe not al that could be desired, was
sufficiently favorable to permit the festi-
v0l to oIsrate uninterruptedly from be-
ginning to end, although the attendance
would undoubtedly have been larger and
the receipts correspondingly greater had
the atmospheric conditions been a little
| more suspicious.
The various booths comprising the at
| fractions Of the festival were beautifully
decorated with palms, MOSES, artificial
flowers and eyergreens, and were illu-
| minated with hundreds of colored electric
lights. A particularly attractive booth
~as the fiosFer pagoda in the center of
the grounds, presided over by Mrs. F. B.
Lemann, where exquisite cut flowers and
pot plants donated by two well-known
New Orleans florists were offered for sale.
Another booth which did a big business
was Germany" where sandwiches and
beer were served by attractive young
ladies CARRIED in the pretty costume of
German peasants.
The festival opened Saturday evening
at O'Clock, and the feature of the pro-
gram for the first night was an Indian
war dance and scalping of a pale-face by
the Red Men of Mohawk Tribe No. SO.
This event took place about o'clock and
was witnessed by large crowd of inter
eSted spectators.
Sunday, of course, was the big day of
the festival, and it is conservatively esti-
mated that some 5000 visitors were in
town for the occasion. The weather in
the afternoon was ideal and the streets
were crowded with happy, pleasure-seek-
ing throngs of strangers and towns people. |
The first item on the program of events
was a baseball game at Cleveland Park
between the local team and the crack
Parker-Blakes of New Orleans, which re-
suited in favor of the visitors by score of
to l. At the conclusion of the game the
Tidely-adyertised combined burlesque and
automobile parade took place, starting
rom the corner Of Mississippi and St.
'atrick streets at o'clock p, N. The pa
ade was headed by a detachment of
nake-beleve policemen. who were fol
owed. by bevy of near-girls garbed in
antasfic costumes and mounted on equally
antasfic steeds. Next came the band
1agoI4 and barker, both in keeping with
he sAherne Of burlesque. and following

be necessary for any car to remain outside
the park, unless the owner Or driver so
desires.
This Sunday and every Sunday here
after there viii be an excursion on the
Y. and M. V. Railroad from New Orleans
to Baton Rouge. The steamer Virgie will
wait at Burnside in the morning to con
vey the exeursionists to Donaldsonvile,
arriving here about II a. M After the
game the Virgie will make a special trip,
leaving DonaldsonviIle at 5:45 p. m, to
carry the excursionists back to Burnside,

yet learned the lesson of their proper dafys5
to the public. They should not be adoWed
to indulge in protracted quarreIs With their
employees. This dictum il particular
should apply to all public service corpora
tions, especially those engaged in transpor
cation. However ingeniously it may state
the case, there is usually something
wrong with the street railway company
chat subjects prosperous city to incon-
venience by getting into a predicament
with its employees and subjecting itself
60 a strike and a tie-up of traffic. In the
matter of street railways the public inter
est is superior 10 that of the corporation
ON the one hand or the employees on the
other. In cities like Philadelphia and
New York enormous fortunes have been
made by individuals enjoying exclusive
franchise for carrying passengers in street
cars. The people controlling such fran
ChiSe owe it 10 the communities they
serve to employ skilful and well-trained
mot@gmen and conductors and to treat
these men is such way that they could
have no provocation for a general strike.
The state ought TO provide some system
for dealing conclusiveIy with labor dis
putes.
This great strike in Philadelphia has
been so wasteful and miserable an affair
from many standpoints that it ought to
stimulate thoughtful people in every
state of the Union to make advance pro-
vision against similar failures of civiliza-
ton in their own cities. The public au-
thorities of Pennsylvania have been at
fault in not making better provision for
the solution of labor difficulties. They
have had so much misery in that state
from industrial warfare in years past that
they ought to have learned peaceful ways
to adjust labor disputes. Both state and
city have had heavy bills to pay in theil
attempts to protect life and property
The street railroad company will have
lost much more than it can ever have
gained through its failure to deal with its
own men in such way as to keep theI
loyalty But trade-unionism, on the Other
hand. will also have lost d great deal
through its reckless resort to the syrnpa.

everybody in a great variety of different
ways, as a means of bringing the street
railway company to terms, is not merely
reckless. but it is also stupid It mus

THEY'RE OFF!
Baseball Season Opened Last Sunday, With
Parker Blakes Triumphant Over Local
Aggregation : Big Crowd Sees
Initial Contest Schwartz
Bassbal
Stars Tomorrow.

The baseball season was formally open
ed in this city last Sunday afternoon witt
a game between the crack Parker-B lakes
of New Orleans. and the speedy loca
team, the visitors proving the stronger
and winning out by score of to 1
The weather was ideal and a big crowd
was in attendance.
Talbot bowled for the locals and let the
Blakes down with seven bingleS but his
control was poor and his inability to To-
cate the plate permitted six of the visitors
to travel to first on phony passes.
Johnny Wills presided behind the bat in
hisusual clever manner, and the remainder
of the local lineup delivered the goods in
nice shape and sustained their respective
regulations as players of some class.
The druggists put up nifty article of
ball, and the outcome of the icy CON
test might well be summed up - saying
that while the local aggregation was a
strong one, the Blakes were stronger and
in better condition and therefore merited
the victory they achieved.
The locals touched Zehner for seven
safeties. including two Dagger by Pitcher
Talbot, but none of the drives came at a
time when hits meant runs. The wizard"
tWirled in fine form and was absolutely
unhittable in the pinches.
The Blakes put two runs across the pan
in the opening inning. Schott, first up,
Travelled to first on deadhead transporta-
ton, although it looked to the grand
stand as though Umpire Montero called a
couple of balls which really should have
been strikes. Buck" went to second ON
a passed ball, and scored on Kamalades
drive to right for two bases Tarleton,
next up, hit through short and Kamalade
scored when Wills muffed Arthur Talbot's
throw to the plate.
In the eighth inning the Blakes added
four more tallies to their score, all of the
runs being made after two were out.
Ahten, first up, hit to short and landed
safe on Roach's wild heave, which per
mitted the runner to take an additional
base. Schott sacrificed. Willie Higgins
to Weber, Ahten making third on
the play. Kamalade walked. With
Farleton at bat, Wills threw KAN
alade out at second on an attempted
steal, making a pretty peg to the key
stone sack. Tarleton sent a whizzer
1oWn the third base line and Ahten
scored, Tarleton in the meanwhile. con-
.inuing around to second. Cusaeh hit to
second and George Higgins fumbled, Tarle-
on advancing to third. Guitterez
mashed out two-bagger to left center,
sending 1arleton and Cusach across the
ian. Zehner put a single between short
md secoad, and Gutierrez chalked up the
ourth tally Of the inning when Wills
allied p handle Johnston's heave to
lome.

The percentage of attendance has beer
greater this week than at any other time
during the session. The weather is lust
right for school work and the teachers
and pupils are profting by it to do good
work while this ideal condition lasts.

The athletic club held it's regular
monthly meeting last Friday. Questions
appertaining to the good order of the as
ISOLATION were discussed, time for the
practice of the baseball team was set,
and renewed interest was aroused in the
track team. Fernand Fernandez was
chosen captain and manager of the track
team.
The debating club held its session on
Friday, the subject being: 1.-The benefits
or disadvantages of large standing
army to the country.
Owing to circumstances over which the
faculty had no control the elocution class
has not yet met, but things are now more
favorable and the next week will see the
initial appearance of this class.
Much interest is being manifested in
baseball in the lower grades. Several in
ter-class games have been played and
each evening can be heard on the cam
pus the enthusiastic shouts of the players
and the Joyous plaudits of the victors.
Several pupils rendered their teachers a
treat of fishing excursion last Saturday.
The day was spent most pleasantly and
night showed goodly catch of fish.
