VITALITY ACCORDED VET-
ERANS AND FRIENDS
DAY OF PLEASURE
Sabin* River Camp, Confederate Vet-
erans, Proved Themselves Equal to
the Occasion and Orange Members
Walter P. Lane Camp Royally Re-
ceived.
The reunion of Sabine River Camp
Confederate Veterans, September 11
and 12, was one of the most success-
ful and memorable since the organiza
tion. The growing, thriving town of
Burke ville, where it was held, was
put in gala attire and ready to receive
its guests by Thursday afternoon.
-maX?T¥. La£ Camp U. C. V.. of
Orange, accepted the invitation to at-
tend, extended them and went,up on
Thursday, accompanied by a num-
ber of visitors, most of them descend-
ants of pioneer families and old time
residents of the pretty Tittle town.
The veterans held their business ses-
sions Friday and people were rolling
in all day, employing all sorts and
sizes of vehicles. Every home “deck-
ed and garnished''- for the occasion
was thrown open, and the charming,
warm-hearted hospitality of the people
made every visitor feel welcome and
at ease.
Burkeville has a brass band re-
cently organized, and the young men
composing it gave a minstrel perform-
ance Friday night in the auditorium
of the Blum College building. They
gave quite a creditable performance,
and the good natured audience seemed
well pfeased. Bright and early Sat-
urday morning people were seen wend-
ing their way tnto town and there
was almost a continuous procession
of wagons, carriages, buggies and
horseback riders. At ten o’clock the
principal streets were lined with a
densely packed crowd awaiting the pa-
rade, the principal event of the day.
The parade was formed near the Bap-
tist church and soon appeared at the
end of the main business street, head-
ed by the marshal, Mr. E. F. Mont-
gomery. on horseback, carrying a large
flag. To the right and left of the
marshal rode two young ladies of
Orange, now sUylng In Burkeville, wrlter^never enjoyed such an occasion

with a rough door and windows:-
Smoke was issuing from the realistic
chimney, and on the walls were
stretched coon skins to dry. On the
tiny front porch sat an old negro cou-
ple (?) with cob pipes In their mouths,
the man playing a “fiddle" and the
woman churning. The last float das
the Caiathumplan band, a number of
little boys dfessed in grotesque cos-
tumes, their discordant music en-
hanced by the braying of a beautiful
black mule with snow white harness,
led alongside.
Awid the waving of hats and hand-
kerchiefs, laughing and cheering the
parade left the street, circled the bar-
becue grounds and then dispersed. The
immense crowd collected around the
speakers’ stand where seats were
vlded under the trees, and Prof,
singer gave an eloquent address of
welcome E. ft•-Kellie responded in
his usual happy style and then Mr.
Hicks of Bon Wler, in the beloved
Confederate gray, addressed the vet-
erans. His speech was very touching,
as attested by the slow tears that roll-
ed down the cheeks of some of those
battle scarred men.
At the close of this address,
Kellie introduced Martin
congressman elect, who witB burning
eloquence held bis audience entranced.
When he finished the band played
“The Girl I left Behind Me.” a war
time favorite, and the veterans went
up and shook hands with the sponsors
and the speaker. The bugle gave the
dinner call, and the long hollow square
of a able wa*-. soon surrounded by a
jolly, good humored crowd that was
well and plentifully fed. Perfectly
cooked meats, from the near-by pits,
good bread and pickles, great caul-
drons of soup and black coffee. After
dinner Col. Sam Houston spoke on
Texas and the battle of Sabine Pass,
then the rest of the afternoon was
taken up by an exhibition drill and
sham battle by the Orange Rifles, In
which they covered themselves with
glory. After the departure of the
Rifles there were some very amusing
sack races, then supper was served on
the grounds. After night fall some
interesting fireworks were displayed,
about twenty-five balloons making a
brilliant display. Between twenty-five
hundred and three thousand people en-
joyed the magnificent hospitality of
the people of Burkeville, and not a
word of fault finding was heard. The
“Under the Greenwood Troo.”
In the coming engagment of Flor-
ence Davis and her selected players,
including Elliott Dexter, at the Orange
Theater Thursday night, the latest
London and New York comedy success
“Under the Greenwood Tree” will be
their offering, now being presented en
tour for the first time in America, fol-
lowing Its auspicious run at the Gar-
rick Theatre. New York. Miss Davis
is under the direction of the Garrick
management, who have mounted “Un-
der the Greenwood Tree" for her yrlth
the! same artistic and picturesque pro-
duction of scenery and ensturoes with
which it was seen In New York and
London, and which the critics declared
to be one of the most unique, colorful
and true to nature seeii In several
seasons. The play, by Henry V. Es-
mond, a master in evolving comedy of
the legitimate and refined sort, is qald
to be his most
work—a sort of fantastic modern fairy
tale, with most of its scenes laid In
the forest, redolent of fresh green fol-
iage and mossy banks. Miss Davis
Is said to be surrounded this season
with a more notable cast than sHi*
has ever had before, keeping with this
more ambitious venture, the roster In-
cluding Elliott Dwfterf" Edwin Win

A Woodland Idyl.
Throughout the South there Is no

ence Davis, whose annual advent Is
considered a salutary event in the lo-
cal theatrical season of every city she

care-free life of a gypsy
in the seclusion of the forest. To
this end, she buys a caravan from real
gypsies, and departs after much ama-
teurish preparation that in itself af-
fords numerous laughable incidents,
with her companion and secretary as
her only camp-mate. They go to the
“New Forest,” but are not left long
without male protection, for one of
the suitors, a callow youth named Sir
Kenneth, follows with Mary’s chaffeur.
It is In its general aspect, a sort of
modem “As You Like It,” for Mary,
like Rosalind, finds her Orlando In the
person of a squire who owns the
woods she has selected for her camp,
and who storms the csravan with the
intention of driving the supposed dis-
reputable gypsies from bis premises.
He knocks peremptorily at the wag-
on, but when It is opened, starts back
at the vision of beauty which which
meets his gaxe. When he recovers
from his surprise, bis tones and his
words are quite other than he had re-
solved upon. He Is transformed in
an instant from the haughty master
of tbe lands to the suppliant lover.
Mary, amused at the conquest, but
somewhat amitten heraelf, encourages
his advances hut continues to pose
as a gypsy, and on this basis there
follows between the two an amusing
and charming dialogue. A serious In-
terest arises, but only for a moment,
through an attack on the caravan by
a band of real gypsies, who bind th*
pseudo-gypsy to a tree and deal ber
lover a blow that renders him un
conscious. He awakens to find his
"gypsy” In polite and civilized com-
pany, and la delighted to find that his
future wife will not require the train-
ing he intended to give her In order
to distinguish between right and
wrong, and to conduct herself becom-
ingly in refined circles.
Entertaining counterplots are fur-
nished by the secretary, Peggy Ingle-
dew, and the unsophisticated glr Ken-
neth, who turns his love to. her after
finding it was she he loved all the
time instead of tbe heireaa, and by
other well-drawn and amusing charac-
ters in the story. “Under the Green-
wood Tree” is by Henry V. Esmond,
author of many other successful come-
dies, and true to his peculiar style,
it Is light and airy, and conveys the
author’s familiar spirit of fun through-

den lesson to be ferretted out, but

believe this. Just hunt up 8enator
Charles A. Culberson, democratic
leader of the senate, from Texas. Sen-
ator Culberson has remained in Wash-
ington thus far this summer attend-
ing to legal business.
This la the senators explanation, but
his friends say he stayed In Wash-
ington because they put up a better
brand of baseball than they do In Tex-
as. He is s "fan” of tbe worst sort,
and spends every afternoon at the
American league Park. He Is a root-
er. too, and his rooting got him into
an argument the other day that
proved the contention that socialism
ia rampant at a ball game “Bob*’
Ganley. clever left fielder for the Na-
tionals. was making a desperate at-
tempt to seal third on tbe throw In,
after "Ty" Cobb, of the Detroit aggre-
gation, had caught out Freeman of
Washington. "Ty” la some punklns
when It comes to flinging a baseball,
and he delivered the sphere to Mr.
Coughlin, on third base for the Tigers,
just about three feet ahead of the
runner. Mr. Coughlin tagged Mr. Gan-
ley, and the gentlemanly "Bilk” O’-
Lougbltn, arbiter of the sport, yelled,
"You’re out!”
"Safe! Safe! Robber! Rotten! Bon*
Head! Mutt!” etc., roared the mob of
fans.
“Why Ganley was out a mile,"
cheerfully remarked Senator Culber-
son to a rabid and florid-faced bar-
tender. who was bellowing in his ear.
"What’s that you say?” remarked
the bartender gent. “What do you
know about baseball? Where do you
come from? You got your nerve, you
big rube, trying to tell me anything
about this game. The man was safe,
and if your skull wasn't about three
inches thick you'd admit it.”
“But—began Senator Culberson.
"There’a no 'buts* about It,” an-
swered the tan, and several scores of
bis kind stood up, shook their Data
at Senator Culberson, called him a
mutt and commanded him to cut it
out. “Cheese It,” remarked s freck-
led-fsced youngster, when Senator
Culberson for the second time began
his explanation. Meanwhile tbe whole
bunch had missed half an inning of
play and turned their attention from
the senator to the ball game.
Senator Culberson realises that be
is not the umpire, now, and will at-
tend hereafter strictly to legislative
business.—Washington 8tar.
