 Va, July 6-(Special) )-The house warm ing at The Old White on the Glorious Fourth, was crowned with the success which the day and the time honored hos pitality of Virginia deserve. It was new departure for this dear old place. It is safe to say in future 1t will be custom.
 The hundreds of invitations sent out by MT. Mills were as gladly accepted, and seldom has a more patriotic assemblage gathered on these historic grounds. The pyrotechnic display was an unusually fine one. The night and the fire works seemed made for each other, but more beautiful in it's effect even than the rockets which seemed to reach to the heavens. the Ro- man candles, the many unique designs,

BEHIND THE SCENES AT
 THE LAKEVIEW OPERA Sketch of the Routine Hard Working Lives Lived by the
 Elite Opera Company Artists.

At 1 o'clock everybody goes to dinner studying their parts on the cars. Then back to Lakeview again in the afternoon for several hours more of hot work; an- other ride back to town for supper, ana then an early start back to LakevteW for an hours work on difficult stunts be- fore the regular evenings performance After working all day on Bohemian Girl" the tired artists don their make-ups for "Olivette' and smile their sweetest as the curtain rises at o'clock. For the applause of enthusiastic audience is a stimulus to the tired singer that gives a new life and offers a recompense for all the hard work that has proceeded. Paints are scrubbed off the faces, the street apparel resumed, and the ride back to the city accomplished at Il o'clock. Sometimes a merry chorus girl laughs and shows some signs of life, but a whole the crowd is not a jovial one. Not content with working at "Bo Girl''-as it Is nicknamed-all day Lightwood says he has been dreaming of it all night.
 
 Monday morning is the most interest ing period of the week to the feminine portion of the company, for then 1t Is that the costumes for that weeks per formance are distributed. Measures were taken and orders sent on to the compa- ny's costumers several weeks ago, and the all important question is 'Does 1t ft?" If not busy fingers take the tucks up or down as the case may require, and that night they bedeck a set of figures that wear them as gracefully as if they had been accustomed to such clothes all their lives
 And yet. in spite of the hard work, the routine life begins to have its pleasures. The members of the company are con- genial lot; laugh over the fickleness of the audience in applauding one evening a number which had gone unnoticed the evening before. and seem to enjoy their routine life thoroughly.
 There are none of the petty jealousies among the members of this company, so often found in musical organizations, which of course makes the life all the more pleasant.
 The Elite Opera Company has long since past the stage where 1t is patronized as a home industry The public will 1 patronize an amateur show very liberally for one or two performances, but when 1t begins playing six nights week for seven successive weeks-last years re- cord-the entertainment must be judged as a professional organization would be and patroniZed as such. The Elite Opera Company has come, the people have seen, l and the company has conquered.

IN THE MIRROR ON THE WALL.

There's mirror on my wall In an old and battered frame; And looking in I see Not my visage, stern and hard, With life's battles scared and marred: Not my heart-sick, home-sick eyes, Nor my faded, falling hair, But a creature young and gay, With look of pleased surprise In such happy, happy eyes. Such fair, fine face enfolden In soft tresses, brown and golden, And her lips are so beguiling, With their rosy curves and smiling, That I feel my heart grow tender. And I would from i'll defend her, Could I all nfe's blessings send her In her mirror on the wall. There's look of trusting truth And softly serious air, Gives grave and gentle grace To the lovely, laughing face; And a shadow as of sorrow Life shall bring with some tomorrow Seems beneath her eyes bright glancing There to wait, their depth enhancing. What her place, and what her name? Or if e'er she lived at all? In what time and in what day? Come and look and learn with me: 'T1s the spirit there of youth.

Austin, TexaS, Nov. N, 1900 I have found Dr. Moffett's TEETHINA a splendid remedy and aid for my teeth ing children. When my oldest boy was a teething child. every succeeding day warned us that we would inevitably lose him I happened upon TEETHINA, and began at once administering it to him. and his improvement was marked in 24 hours, and from that day on he recuper- ated. have constantly kept it and used 1t since with my children, and have taken great pleasure in sounding It's praises to all mothers of young children. I found it invaluable even after the teething period was passed.

Behind the scenes at the Lakeview opera" is a theme that no few of the | thousands of spectators that have seen | the Elite Opera Company during the past three weeks have been discussing It has been matter of great interest to the public to know more of the details of this organization, especially as 1t is one many members of which are so well and favorably known in Birmingham.
 Through the courtesy of the manage ment an Age-Herald representative was given the privilege the other day of see- ing in detail the workings of the organi- ] zation. So far as the public knows the | company Is simply going out to the lake | after supper, dressing up in the pictur- esque costumes, and playing "Olivette" to the accompaniment of numerous peals of vigorous hand-clapping. It all looks so easy that it only tends to put the spectator in an even more contented frame of mind.
 ] But the glitter of the footlights, the wage, the grease, paint and the applause is the smaller part in the routine life of the Elite Opera Company. All the rest is work. Hard conscientious work, that in weather like this calls for ones best energy.
 | To begin with the entire company gets out to the lake as soon after breakfast as possible, as work begins at o'clock. From then until 1 o'clock in the after noon there is little else but work. When the reporter saw them the Bohemian Girf' was the object of every ones en- deavor. This opera is to be produced for the first time in public tomorrow night.
 There on the stage, with the bright sunlight and heat pouring in at the open windows, the genial little stage manager, Harry Lightwood, reigns supreme. He knows all of the repertoire of light operas by heart and could almost sing them backward if necessary. Under his watch full eye the choruses are drilled over and over in their songs and coached in their "business technical term of the theatrical profession, meaning in reality what to do with ones hands and feet While the chorus goes off to study for their next entrance, he is probably show ing the tenor the most effective manner Of making love to the soprano while the contralto scowls in the distance. Then comes on the disconsolate basso, who wants to know the most Sorrowful man. ner of singing over the woes of life, as happens to do in this opera And so it goes; work work, work.

MORTGAGE BURNING.

On Friday evening, at eight o'clock,
a most important meeting of the mem
bers of the First Presbyterian church
of the city of Wausau, was held in the
church. At the hour mentioned, a
large audience assembled in the Audi
torium After singing and prayer by
the pastor, the meeting was called to
order by the chairman of the commit
tee, James Montgomery. S. M. Quaw
was chosen to preside and Albert Kuhl-
mann selected as secretary. About
fifteen reports of as many treasurers of
the different organizations of the church
were read which showed a rapid
growth in each society.
Misses Cuff and Fielding made re-
ports from their respective missions.
The general treasurer, H. G. Flieth,
submitted a report showing that the
mortgage and all other debts of the
congregation were paid in full, and
with some unpledged subscriptions
yet to hear from, which, when paid,
will permit of other contemplated i'm
provements on the church, West Side
Chapel and parsonage, as well as the
putting in of a new piano in the lecture
room.
After this excellent financial showing
it was then moved that the mortgage
and other evidences of Indebtedness
which had been paid, be ordered
burned, which was agreed to by all,
and it was unanimously voted that j.
M. Smith should perform the cremation
services. The lights were then turned
off, and midst the light made by the
burning paper, the members of the
congregation showed their enthusiasm
by the clapping of hands and the sing
ing of Praise God From Whom All
Blessings Flow" After which, at the
suggestion of the pastor, the eongrega-
ton arose and repeated the Lords
prayer. Then DR.. Wilson, in a most
beautiful prayer, re-dedicated the
church.
The congregation then went to the
lower floor, wheIe the ladies of the
church had prepared delightful re-
past, closing the evenings exercises at
a late hour.

Special Land Agent Parke has re-
ceived an official letter from Washing
ton, intimating that as soon as civil
government can be established, he will
be sent to the Philippines to assist in
organizing and extending the public
land laws to the islands. In conversa-
ton with representative of the PILOT,
Mr.. Parke said that comparatively few
persons had any conception of the ter
ritory that will then come into posses
sion of the United States for govern
ment disposal.
That under the Spanish administra-
ton the timber lands of the Philippine
Islands were in charge of crude de-
partment of Forestry organized in 1868,
which has had charge of what was
known as the Grown lands. In April,
1901, this department of Forestry was
taken in charge by Capt, George P.
Ahern of the 9th, U. S. Infantry who,
with small corps of assistants, has had
charge of the work since, and, in a
recent report, he estimates the forest
lands to cover 100000 acres, larger
in extent and greater in value than the
forests of India. There are 395 species
of timber producing trees and about 90
more species yet unclassifed. Included
in the above list are very hard woods,
capable of taking a beautiful polish,
woods that resist the elm attic influences
and the attack of white ANS, still others
that are especially suited for piling and
railroad ties. There are also many
varieties of trees producing valuable
gums, oils, and drugs, and gutta percha.
Mr.. Parke has represented the land
department in Wisconsin for eight
years, and expressed his attachment in
stating, that, IF he had his own choice,
he knew of no place in the world where
he would prefer to spend the rest of his
days than in Wisconsin, and especially
Wausau."

ARBUTUS DAY.

1t will be remembered that one day
last spring there were hundreds of
baskets of arbutus distributed in Mil
waukee all of which came from the
counties of this district. An effort is
now being made to perpetuate the day
and let it be known and celebrated as
Arbutus Day. Last spring the weather
was not favorable for gathering this
most fragrant of Wisconsin's native
flowers, but as it was, the school chill
dren gathered enough so that by the
distribution the flowers went into the
homes of thousands, and thousands of
hearts were thereby made happy 1t is
proposed now to make excursions this
spring in search of this flower and dis
tribute bouquets where they will do the
most good in advertising the Wiscon-
sin River Valley. The arbutus is found
in but few states of the Union, and
while great quantities are found in
Wisconsin yet it is confined mostly to
this valley. Therefore let us have a day
of our own and call it Arbutus Day.
