referred to the state department for

WORK OF THE OLD GUARD.
J Organization of a Paper Mill Company
and Charter Applied For.
The Tribune announced the other
day that the Old Guard had been in
executive session the day before, and
that something was sure to come of
its cogitations. We Insinuated with a
positiveness that was akin to plump
sertion of the fact, that the some-
hing would be a paper mill. We were
sure of it that we would not have
hesitated even then to make the an-
louncement. confident that no denial
sould be made of it, if we had not re-
ipected the confidence of the little
)lrd that whispered to us not a little
pf what w as going on. But publicity
ean not be prevented when official
records are concerned, and so we re-
fer our readers to the following dis-
patch from Aurtln, and ask them if
the Tribune did not know what it was
talking about when it told about that
mysterious meeting of the Old Guard
a week ago?
Austin, Texas, Sept. 12.—A Texas
paper mill was chartered this morning,
with place of business at Orange. It

ORANGE SCHOOL8.
No High School Principal Yet—Mlse
Scales Pro Tern.
The city schools are still without a
High school principal, as Mr. Gose-
cloae is not coming. However, the
board of education and the superin-
tendent have been fortunate In secur-
ing temporarily the services of Mias
Emma Scales of Paris, Texas, who for
three years past has been principal of
the High school at Amarillo, Texas,
and who Is thoroughly familiar with
High school work. Her training and
experience have been ln the best
schools of the state, and last summer
she took advantage of the training in
High school work afforded by the sum-
mer school of the South at Knoxville,
Tenn,
The schools have entered upon the
second week of the session.
The teachers and pupils of the High
school building were pleased to have
with them yesterday morning the
president of the board of education,
Mr. Arthur L. Ford.
A principal will be elected during
this month.
Preparations are now well under
way for the opening of the opera house
with Rightor A Blake’s brilliant mu-
sical comedy, “The Military Maid/’
and the presentation will probably be
contemporary with the completion of
the building.
Mr. Henry Rightor. author of the
play, came up from New Orleans last
evening, acompanled by “Dick” Treze-
vant, the famous Southern cartoonist.
One of Trezevant's cartoons, by the
way, occupies the place of honor in
the current number of the Literary
Digest.
The New Orleans party was met at
the train by Mr. Ewell V. Folsom and
proceeded at once to the residence of
Mr. Dickensheets, where important
details connected with the casting,
staging and costuming of the play
were gone over with.
Arrangements were tentatively
made for bringing here at an early
date two gentlemen whose presence
will have much to do with the success
of the play. They are Mr. Louis
Blake, composer of the music of “The
Military Maid” and of a half dozen
other successful comic operas, and Mr.
San Remo Socola, the best known and
most successful stage manager of the
South.
Blake Is regarded as a kind qf mu-
sical wonder. While his operas are un-
der rehearsal, it is a common enough
thing for him to scribble off a mcftlf
as he sits watching the actors work
and put it on at the moment. He plays
any instrument, writes his own orches-
trations and, whenever possible, leads
the orchestra in his operas.
Socola was the original staff man-
ager of “The Military Maid,” together
with his brother, Glunio Socola, now
stage manager of the stock companies
at Buffalo and Cleveland. He Is a
practical actor, a man of most pleasing
personality, but a rigorous disciplina-
rian during rehearsals, Insisting on
attention to every detail, however
trivial, of business and grouping. He
has the reputation of never having
staged an unsuccessful play, doubt-
less due to his own ability and indom-
itable perseverance. “Sandy,” as his
intimates affectionately call him, is
known to every manager, actor and
stage hand on the Southern circuits,
and to most of them In the country.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
presentation of “The Military Maid”
will bring up a large Bohemian dele-
gation of actors, newspaper men and
artists from New Orleans, and will
give Orange a great deal of valuable
advertising.
Mr. Rightor Is ln conference this
afternoon with the management, of the
new opera house and progress is being
made towards the selection of a cast
and the perfection of other essential
details. It la likely that announce-
ment of a tentative cast will be given
out tomorrow or next day and rehears-
als taken up at once. Mr. Rightor an-
nounces that he will add several new
songs to the score, embodying hits of
local pertinence.
Mr. Dickensheets announces that *
this is going to be a Southern produc-
tion out and out, and arrangements
are being made fofr wigs, costumes,
properties and makeup materials out
of New Orleans.
When the rehearsals are well under
way, Mr. Trezevant has promised to
prepare cartoons dealing with the sit-
uation for the Orange Tribune.

fair hands that don’t belong to house-
wives just yet, know so well how to
prepare for occasions of this kind, will
be In evidence and In more than abun-

as to make the boys feel that it is well
