Frederic Thompson's Production of "Brewster's Millions," will be the Attraction at the City Opera House March 31st. 'The stage version of Mr. McCut cheon's book is the co-work of Win choll Smith and Byron Ongley. It will be presented here by a New York Cast. The story is odd and tells of the of forts of Montgomery Brewster to spend a million dollars left him by his grandfather, within a year, and preserve complete secrecy regarding his ultimate object. He is not permit ted to give or gamble it away, nor is he permitted to endow any institution or erect any permanent memorial. This is made a condition under which ho inherits a fortune seven times as vast from an uncle who has conceiv ed and nourished a bitter hatred for the grandfather. Frederic Thompson, the producer, has furnished a scenical eqiuiplment for the play which, from all accounts has proved sensational. The third act-in the scene aboard the yacht one of Brewster's money-spending de vices--there is a marvelous and par ticularly effective bit of stage craft. In this scene a storm arises and the stage settings, the movements of the waves, the lightning effect, all com bine to make it a particularly real istic and interesting stage. effect. The chief character, that of "Monty" Brew ster is in the hands of the well-known and versatile young actor, Louis Nil son. The heroine will be essayed by the dainty and talented Katherine Francis. The other long list of- char acters will be represented by names well known on the mimic stage. Brewster's Millions will be given at the City Opera House on Tuesday ev ening, March 31. Tickets go on sale at the Powe Drug 'Company Friday morning. Prices 50c, 75c and $1.00.

Black, the young federal pris oner who has been in the custody of the sheriff here for the past five months, will be released today, one month ahead of the regular time, this much having been gained through good behavior. it will be remembered that this young man, a native of Lau rens county, was convicted in the fed eral court at Greenville of receiving stolen property. Although the jury rendered a verdict of guilty, the court evidently took the view that there were some very mtiigating circum stances connected with the case and gave him a very lenient sentence. His friends have held out from the first that hie was more a victim of'circum stances than anything else and they have stoutly denied that he was cog nizant of any wrong doing when ar rested. The young man has been a model prisoner, making himself very useful and companionable around the jail. The sheriff said yesterday that while of course, lie rejoiced with the young man in gaining his liberty again yet it was with quite a pang of re gret that he would part w 'i him. He will return to his work on the rail road, so it is thought. Even the Chanticleer. Clarence was leaving early that night. The cuckoo had just sounded the eleventh hour. In the back yard the family rooster uttered a maudlin crow. "Clarence," called her father from an upper window, "will it trouble you to step around back of the house and throttle that rooster? lie heard the door close and 11e thinks it's day light."
