The Fargo operahouse was packed
to the doors last night by friends of
the public schools to witness the
graduation of the class Of 1912 and
they were repaid for turning out on
this very d~isegreeapIe evening.
The doors OF the operahouse were
opened at 8 o'clock and shortly after
that hour the house was filled. 1t
was the twenty seventh class that has
graduated from the nigh school and
the interest each year in the school
has been growing. The class NUM-
bered forty-nine students and was all
most equally divided in the sexes.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with the class colors, white and gold,
and the class pennants, two of them
were hung from the flies with stream
ers Of the same color In the same
positions, making a very pleasing Ell
feet. On each side of the stage were
ported plants and baskets of ferns.
After a pleasing overture by the
orchestra, Rev, J.. M. Walters or the
First NJ. e. church led in an appro-
pirate prayer i'm which he asked dt-
vine blessing m the young ladies and
young gentlemen who were just fin
ishing their education in the public
schools Of Fargo.
This was followed by the salutatory
which was given by Wlademar George
Richter, whose address, was n OF the
best ever given under similar circum-
stances, and he was given a rousing
reception.
Selections were rendered by the class
chorus from Carmen and 1t was a
feature of the entertainment that will
long be remembered most pleasantly.
The voices OF the members OF the
class showed the careful training that
had been given by the music teacher
and the applause was great
The Sweet Girl Graduate was the
subject Of the defamation that was
given by Miss Louise Fitzgerald and
it was very well received, containing
many bright thoughts. wei expressed.
The Girls Glee club followed with
Lively Night and ii too, was well rend-
cred and they were given hearty ap-
plause.
The Class Prophecy vas given by
Peter Elliott, jr., and many were the
great things that he predicted for the
Individual members Of the class. Mr..
Elliott was at. times quite humorous
and eloquent as he prophesied.
The Greetings to Spring by strauss
was the second chorus that was rend-
cred by the class and it was another
| effort that was simply grand. The
voices blended nicely and the work
was well nigh perfect.
Then followed the valedictory by
| George Booth, in which he said fare
well for the class to the public and
| said the farewell for the individual
members one to another. 1t was well
written and was received with hearty
applause.
Daniel B. Holt, a member OF the
hoard of education in a few well
| chosen words presented the diplomas
10 the members Of the class and as
each one arose he or she was given
great applause.
The commencement exercises closed
with two selections blythe Boys Glee
club the first being The Stein Song
and the second The Winter Song, both

FAReo oPERAHousE.
June 17--Blanche Bates.

That irresistibly charming come
dienne, Blanche Bates, in her latest
success, Nobody's widow, from the
pen OF Avery Hopwood, win be the at
traction at the Fargo operahouse for
one night only, next Monday, June IL.
This comedy was of New York's
biggest successes last season and en-
phasized very emphatically the fact
that Miss Bates is as great a come
dienne as she is an emotional actress.
The farcical romance, as 1t is term
ed, deals with the adventures of a
beautiful and witty American who
meets the q of her choice abroad,
marries him, and half an hour after
the marriage finds him bidding fare
we'll to an old sweetheart with such
fervor that she indignantly leaves
him, returns to America and poses as
q widow whose husband died Of en-

ding eve.

B0NEHEAD BASEBALL.
This Was About the Richest Double
 Play Ever Perpetrated.

This Was About the Richest Double
 Play Ever Perpetrated.
 Double boneheads are rare in base ball-scarcer than hens teeth. and naturally so. for the completion of a bonehead requires vigilance and quick thinking by the opposition. Still. dou- ble concretee happen ever and anon. the most famous one possibly being that pulled by Cozy Dolan and Harry Gessier at Chicago several years ago.
 On this occasion Dolan had reached second in the ninth. and one was down. the score at the time being in favor of the Cubs by one run mar gin. The next batter hoisted long fly over center field Gessler grabbed the ball and. deciding that 1t was the third out. tucked the ball in his pock- ct and few for the clubhouse.
 Dolan. instead of taking advantage of the break to score the tying run, also figured that it was the third out and followed Gessler across the field. while a raving mob of players from both teams. surrounding them. tried to impress the horror of the situation upon them.
 Artie Hoffman finally took the ball away from Gessler, chased Dolan to the clubhouse and made the putout at the edge of the bathtub. That was the richest double break on record, but there have been a few others al- most as funny.

Steamer Ontario Reached
 Off Montauk Point
(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One.) tug followed later by the men when it was seen that the latter could do nothing to help the crew of the On- tario. The baggage of the passeng- CTS followed the men and the tug, af- ter standing by until 9:5, started for New London. On board the tug in it's small cabin the women completed their hasty toilettes of the early morn- ing.
 Agents of the Merchants & Miners line came to New London, late this forenoon and made arrangements for the immediate transportation of the passengers for Boston, where they are expected to arrive at 4:30.
 The Ontario will probably be al most a total loss. She had on board the largest cargo she has ever car- ried of cotton, resin and pig iron. The fire which started among the cotton slowed in the forward hold, is thought to have been started by spontaneous combustion and before the Tasco left for New London, had spread to the upper deck. Captain Bond and the crew remained on board and are be- ing watched by the lifesaving crew of the Montauk Point station.
 Shortly after noon the watchers on shore were convinced that the crew of the Ontario had succeeded in con- quering the flames, aided by the half score of tugs that were then stand ing by. At that time the smoke had ceased to roll from the forward hatch of the steamer and the men seemed to be slackening their activity.

RAIN PREVENTS
 EASTER DISPLAY
Those Who Didn't Get Out In Morning Lost Chance
 to Display New Emery

The spring styles in hats evidently did not appeal to the weather man, yesterday, for he broke in upon a balmy Easter Sunday by sending rain in the early afternoo1. The deluge proved a cruel blow to many Of the girls who had been planning their headgear for many weeks. Some were deprived of the opportunity of showing their latest creations by req son of the downpour, and others ven- tured out and thereby spoiled their cherished lids
 The morning could not have been better. The temperature was almost tropical, making overcoats appear like excess baggage. All morning we'll dressed throngs passed through the streets on the way to church. Some folks, who only go to church when all the other places are closed, made their annual visit. and others who are more religious had the additional mo- tive of the desire to display their new raiment. All the churches, regardless of denomination, were we'll filled. Most of them made special efforts to have appropriate Easter music and the programs were uniformly good.
 If the rain hadn't descended in the afternoon Easter Sunday would have been sartorial success. AS it was, raincoats and umbrellas were the most popular garments.
