rays shining on the polished brass.
The lines of the play are written in
the authors happiest vein, and bubble
with sparkling wit and snappy cpl
grams. The story in the main tells
of the plight of a young girl in the
choice Of lovers, both being West
Point cadets (where the scenes are
laid, for one of them is wealthy and
the other poor. In dream, she sees
herself as the golden girl. with I'M
told wealth. and yet she is unhappy.
When she awakes she realizes that
1t is the poor chap she really loves,
and marries him. Other stories de-
veloped in the plot bring out much
comedy, especially the dream, or rath-
err the nightmare of the poor cadet
who has often told of his distinguish
ed ancestors. They appear to him as
convicts, pirates, anarchists and sneak
thieves.

FATE VERY PLAYFUL
Man. Insane and PenniIeSS a
Month Ago, Is Now a
Millionaire.
STRANGER THAN FICTION
(American News Service)

(American News Service)
San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 22.-A case
stranger than was ever pictured in fic-
ton, is that of William l. Browne of
this city, who, short time ago, was
released from the Southwestern Insane
asylum on an order from County Judge
Phil Shook, based on illegal restraint
of liberty. After having spent nearly
twelve years in the asylum Browne
today is once more free agent and a
millionaire.
About twelve years ago the man,
upon recommendation of DR.. Miguel
Barragon, Mexican consul at Browns
vile, was consigned to the asylum,
without proper process OF law or ade-
quate examination. Browne at the
time is alleged to have been a heavy
drinker and it is thought that the eff
fects of this habit made his incarcera-
ton possible. During a recent hear.
ing of his case it developed that his
wife was willing party to his trans
fer to the institution and that during
the many years he was confined she
did nothing to aid him in getting his
her doubts as to his mental status. A
sister and brother of the man seem
to have shown the same indifference
and it was not until Browne succeeded
in interesting c. NJ. Chambers, A. B.
Cowen and others of this city in his
case. that he secured action in his be-
half. When taken before the county
Judge he answered many perplexing
questions in the most rational way and
thereupon was restituted to the status
of a sane man.
While comparatively poor at the
time of his incarceration the death of
his father shortly afterwards gave him
a share in a great deal of valuable
property. In the course Of time this
has increased in value to an extent
that will easily make him at least a
millionaire. His share in his fathers
will, as we'll as the property he owned,
were taken possession of by his broth
er, James l. Browne. and his sister,
Mrs. Carolina de San Roman, both of
BROWNSVILLE. Texas. Whether Browne
after his release threatened them with
a law suit or not. his lawyers would not
state. but they signified their intention
to come to San Antonio aud do what
ever the law requires.
c. NJ. Chambers, counsel for Mr..
Browne. has since the latter's release,
searched the county court records for
documents bearing on the case, but so
far not trace of any has been found. |
1t appears that the county clerk at that |
time simply signed the commitment pa
pers without even keeping a copy of |
these.

from the stage of the Gennett tonight.
The entire production has been remod-
eled so that it will scarcely be recog-
niZed in the new form. 1t is quite SUI
perfluous to say that the alterations
add to the general merit of the pro-
duction. The plot remains much as it
was, but the specialties introduced
at short intervals are entirely new
and pleasing. The Byrne Brothers re-
main to give life and action to every
scene. The third act is almost entire
ly new. The curtain rises upon d
rustic scene in a Partisan park. In
the background are the acrobats pos
ing as statues. Their antics are very
amusing The originality of the per-
Torrance and the diversities of it's
specialties are sure to fill the house.
