CHILDREN'S Big PAGEANT
PROVES FAIRY SPECTACLE
LEGENDS AND PANTomIMES AT
AMPHlDROME SATURDAY..
Six Hundred Children in Series Of Ia.
bleau and Professions.

The Amphidrome was transformed
into a verltable fairyland on Saturday
afternoon. the semblance OF outdoors
being given 10 the interior of the grea,
han by draping and festooning the pill
lars and beams and Illuminating i,
with myriads OF twinldling incandes-
cents clevorly intertwined among the
'nowers. Tho beautiful costumes and
profusion Of colors in the attire and
the decorations made the scene one
OF great beauty almost impossible 10
adequately describe.
The spectacle opened with a grand
procession of all the children TO music
by a c, & II. orchestra. and at its
conclusion the little ones separated in
TO a number Of Kaleidoscope groups
and circled about in a variety Of many
evolutions. which elected prolonged
and enthusiastic applause from the
two thousand or more spectators.
The affair was the first Of its kind
ever attempted here and its successful
accomplishment will result perhaps In
IL being made an annual event, given
in the open air where even better re
suits can be attained. The task OF
training the children for the pageant
was an arduous and difficult one and
10 Miss Nye and the other teachers
who assisted in its preparation great
credit and praise are due.

ONCE QUEEN OF LAKES.
Steamer onoko, Big Freighter, Is Now
Tramp,


The presence OF the steamer Onoko
in the Duluth Superior harbor with
cargo of salt has interested some
Of the oldtimers in marine circles for
she was the original lake leviathan,'
says the NcNs-Tribune. At the time
she came out and began seeking car
goes, the wise men of the time, the ear
ly eighties shook their heads and said
She's too big, She never will pay"
The Onoko is 2S7 feet long with 80 feet
BEAM and she is taking a return car
go Of 10000 bushels of flax from Du-
luth harbor. That is a small cargo
compared TO. the average of today. TO
say nothing Of the loads which the 600
footers carry; but In the early eighties
the onolNo broke into print every time
she took cargo, and reporters eager
ly inquired each time If she was going
to break her own record, for tserc
were no otner records to break.
The Onoko was a sort Of trail blazer
for the coming of the 1000 tons
cargo boats Cf today. She was the
Augustus b. Wolvin of the early
eighties, and one of the first metal
boats on the lakes. The Onoko is an
iron hull.

10 Be Launched In June.
The upper peninsula chapter Of the
American Mining congress. shortly tc
be organized. will lose little time in
justifying it's existence. one Of the
first matters with which il will con-
cern itself Will be the inspection OF
some definite action toward securing
one Of the rescue cars Of the Federal
Bureau of Mines for the mining dis
tricts Of upper Michigan. The cavein
at the Norrie mine on the Gogebic
range has aroused mining men gen
orally TO the Importance of immediate
and concerted action in the matter.
Robert w Thompson. assistant sec
retary of the congress. who spent
several weeks in the copper country
and secured some twenty members as
a nucleus for a chapter has met with
a like success on the Marquette range.
Fifty members are requisite for a
chapter, but as Mr. Thompson has al
ready secured over forty and has not
AS yet visited the Gogehic or Menom-
nee ranges. the charter membership
will be considerable in excess Of this
number.
The formal organization will prob
ably take place in June at point TO
be decided upon later.

DAMAGE SUIT
Esther Mercy was given $500
damages in her slander suit
against Dean Marion Talbot of
the University of Chicago by a
jury in Judge Pomeroy's court
this morning.
A demonstration foloWled the
reading of the verdict. The large
crowd in the court room showed
its approval by cheers and hand
clapping, and several men and
women rushed forward to con-
graduate the complainant. 1t
was with difficulty that order was
restored.
Motions to set the verdict aside,
were Immediately made by the
defense. Hearing was not set.
Attorneys for the university de-
clared the case would be appeal
ed if request for a new trial was
denied.
When court convened repre-
sentatives of the university were
scarce. Even Attorney Walker,
who throughout the trial had
sought to besmirch the reputa-
ton of Miss Mercy, and had
dragged in the names of people
not connected with the case, was
not present to take his beating.
He sent an employe of his law of
flee. Miss Eva Robertson, as
sistant dean of women at John
D. Rockefeller's school was the
only member of the faculty who
