THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1. NUMBER 107. COMMERCE AND LABOR THE NEW DEPARTMENT; BACON’S RESOLUTION. OUR SENATOR CARRIED POINT LAWMAKERS THiNK THE NEWS PAPERS DO NOT DEVOTE PROP ER SPACE TO THEM. TO THAT END THEY WANT SUB SCRIPTION PRICE OF THE REC ORD LOWERED. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Senator Bacon of Georgia offered a resolution in the senate providing that the com mittee on printing consider the expe diency of printing a special edition of The Congressional Record for sale to the general public at $2 for long ses sions and $1 for short sessions. He said some action ought to be taken by congress to insure to the general public more complete infor mation as to the doings in congress. No newspaper could afford to present to its readers, he said, more than a brief synopsis of the proceedings in the two branches of congress. Mr. Hawley remarked that his news paper experience extended back be tween 40 and 50 years. When he was younger the newspapers of the coun try devoted considerable attention to the proceedings of congress, and in a measure at least, he thought they might return with interest to their olu practice. The resolution was adopted. Consideration of the bill to estab lish a department of commerce was re sumed, the pending amendment being that of Mr. I’ottus pryv d'og that the department of labor she ti l not be made a part of the proposed now de partment. It was rejected t Mr. Bacon then offered an amend ment providing that the name of the new department should be the Depart ment of Commerce and La m. This was adopted by a vote of 5 to 02. The census bureau was retained in a meas ure as one of the bureaus of the new department. The bill was then passed MAY LEAVE HERE. Baker Copper Works Displeased With License. Mr. M. A. Baker, Sr., may remove his copper works tto some other city. The proprietors are not at all pleas ed with the present license. The works have been paying SIO.OO per annum but the new council aised it to $50.00. This concern gets abso lutely no money in Brunswick but sells telnr output tto turpentine opera tors in three statets, paying out the cost of manufacturing stills, etc., to local workmen. GUERRY MAY SPEAK HERE. Prohibition Candidate For Governor May Come at Early Date. It is more than probable that Dupont Guerry, the prohibition can didate for governor of Georgia, will speak in Brunswick at an early day. A Guerry supporter told the News yesterday that arrangements were now being made to get the candidate here. GO AND REGISTER. Some Seem to be Carelesa About Thi* Matter.

A REAL CHURCH ORGAN. Beautiul Church Scene in the Old Homestead. One of the prettiest scenes in "The Old Homestead” and the one widen caused the reatest comment on its production, is the beautiful picture of Grace Church, N. Y., by monlight. When the scene was first talked of be fore Its production, one feature, which was overlooked by all concern ed, save Mr. Thompson himself, was to secure a real church organ. When the expense was considered it was voted almost an imposibility but Mr. Thompson had faith in his play, and after weeks of consultation wu the best organ makers In the country the result was a magnificent piece of musical mechanism set up on the stage of the Boston Theatre. When “The Old Homestead” was on for what proved to be the largest and most successful run that any American drama has enjoyed, in our history, the organ in Boston was taken apart and shipped there, but on being put together again, something was wrong; it would not worn to the sat isfaction of Mr. Thompson, who is a master on detail, and another expen sive organ was set up in the Academy and tnere it now stands, a monument to Mr. Thompson’s expensive tastes. Since "The Old Homesetead” wa3 first produced six organs have been built for Mr. Thompson, but only one is of any use as the others will not stand transportation. Mr. Thompson has had built for him a massive speeial improved organ, which is guaranteed to withstand all kinds of travel, of pure, sonorous and orchestral tone, and theatre-goers of tnis city will have an opportunity to hear it. Mr. Thompson's desire to have a first-class organ in his production has cost hifn in the neighborhood of $25,- 000. But he will have it. The company and production which Mr. Thompson carries this season is said to be exceptional for a road tour. WINDSOR, Jan. 28. —Queen Alex andra is again slightly indisposed, ow ing to cold.
