@Brewwtsr'a Millaons'' at the Grand

Highly amusing. amazing, spectacu. lar in one act, George Barr MeCutch- eonis ingenious story of how a young man spends a million dollars in a years time was the attraction at the Grand Tuesday night. The trials of the hero and his triumphs were seen by a thoroughly appreciative audience. and the players and scenic effects ae- carded their full applause.
 While Robert Ober Is billed as the feature of the production, In reality the third scene of the play should be made. SO. 'fBrewster's Millions" is a dramatization of a much read novel of a popular author, and <has been upon the stage for a number of years. It appeared in Montgomery last year at the height of the season, but it is doubtful If as large an audience as that which greeted the rise of the cur. tain last night was present the pre- vious year.
 The piece Is remarkably well set, especially in the third act. the scene being upon the yacht which Brewster has chartered to make a cruise around the world. Many of the audience which saw the production last season last night were unanimous that this years production was far better staged as to minor detail. The effect of the scur- rying clouds. the lighthouse. and the signals made by the rescuing steam CT are details that are appreciated by the close observer. The scene. too. Is a good example of what the local stage Is capable of handling.
 Robert <Ober as Montgomery Brews. ter made feature of the part of the young spendthrift, as he did last year. and was accorded excellent support by the large company with which he has surrounded himself Of the cast supporting MT. ober. June Mathis played crsditably as Peggy Grey, while George Crosette was excellent as .'Jo- seph Mccloud.'
 While not at all new, sthe play drew a large audience and this audience on. joyed every minute of the four acts.
 The next attraction at the Grand will be Charles Fl. Yale's spectacle. the everlasting "nev!is Auction" to be seen on Thursday night.

TO EXPLAIN NEW RIFLE
Infantry VIII Demonstrate With
New Model Springfield.

There win be an unusually interesting
lecture this evening In the state arm
ory by an officer from the Fifteenth
infantry at Fort Douglas on the new
model OF the Springfield army rife.
First Lieut.. Ned NJ. Green IL mentioned
as the lecturer who will take the gun
to pieces. demonstrating the functions
of each part TO the national guards
men who are to use the weapon. Col.
Plummer is anxious that all the officers
and as many of the men themselves
as possible be present to hear the lee
ture. A number of veterans not now
in the service are expected to be ON
hand also. Altogether an entertaining
time is anticipated. The 1906 model of
the Springfield rifle Is now in active
service among the regular troops, where
1t is found a marked improvement on
the krag-Jorgensen gun, in ease of
handling and general efficiency. Even
tually, the militia of the country is to
be supplied with the new weapon, ana
the old Springfields returned to the
national arsenals for remanufacture.
Some militia regiments in the east
have been using Winchester rifles. an
arm that the New York Seventh chung
to for many years; but the distinctive
features that have in the past marked
individual commands, and brought
then more prominently INTO pubic
view. are being fast obllterated as the
efforts of the general government con-
tnue to weld the militias of the diff
ferent states into one harmonious whole
body of troops. SO there are no more
red breaches. zouaves, gray and gilt
swallow tail coats. blue and gold. white
and blue, gray and red. etc. All of the
state military commands are now APP
pearing in the regulation uniforms, and
carry the regulation arm and equip
ment; and 1t Is proposed now to mo-
Billie the guards of the different states
into divisions, under the command of
regular army officers. bringing all in
to an harmonious whole.
