Mrs. Brune and an Excellent Com pany Pleased the Audience. Wallace Munro presented the people of (his citj with one of the best at tractions they have ever seen when he gave them “Unorna,” last night Vvilli Mrs. Brune in (he title role, sur rounded by a company of polished artists, who as an aggregation suc ceeded in getting all there was out Oi Crawford’s "Witch of Prague ” The play in question is really a strong one. and in it tne stage has been presented with an innovation in a literary fashion, that promises to become a fixed standard in the fu ture. it plays gracefully wu.i the emotions and forcibly reminds one ot the masterpieces of Sarrton. And it is novel. It is built along a new line. 11: is the story of tne love of a woman in whom this strange pow er dwells from her birth, a fantastic power which gives her rule over hotn man and beast touching at times the impossible and again descending to the utterly and hopelessly possible. There are scenes in it. like scenes in uo other play and the audience Is car ry and with rapidity through tu ■ varying stages of many conflicting emotions. They call Mrs. Brune, the American Bernhardt. Hjui fully merits tne title and there fin few. ii any woman on Abie stage today who could put, as much of real merit in “Unorna” as she did last night. Kin- 'nas a wondenul. aye, striking individuality, vivid, intense and strangely human, and tx r per sonality is as charming as her talent is mellow. The audience last night while a thoroughly appreciative one, was not as large as the production deserved, which is not a matter of gratification to the managers of me Grand. The orchestra, composed of local musi cians, was an attractive feature ot the night's entertainment and the music was thoroughly enjoyed. BLACK PATTI TONIGHT. Another Treat is Promised at tpe Grand Tonight. The famous Black Patti atramenta ecous and Infuscatcd troubadours will appear at the Opera house tonight. Tnus does pleasure dawn .and joy spring up. The coming of these de lectable diverters, these merry nigres cent, ttrpskiborea.u trippers, these I Brush-like wondrous-- warblers, and laugh teiA, side splitting, ami tears ol pleasure* drawing children of Africa, banish care and fill expectation to l ix> brim. A wondrous success has been the history of this now famous organisa tion from iis inception. U 'has been managed witn dtmmiminate skill and given unlimited satisfaction, so that every auditor Ims gone away from the playhouse filled with delight, and anxious to go again. Return visits to every town have been more profita ble than the one before, imitation has been inevitable; but the theatro going pu.dic has grown weary of sub stitutes labelled "just as good,” and the weak-legged “No. 2 Company.” There is but one “Black Patti Trou badours” and that one supreme and incomparable. , STILL COLLECTING TAX. Officer Richardson is Making a Record in Street Tax V/ork. Officer Richardson is stul busy col lecting street taxes and he is malt ing quite a record in this line of work. Bo far, O-.ider Richardson has collec ted about $2,600 for street and dog tax, which 1s the largest amount ever paid into tne city treasury for this sort of taxes. The casual observer has no idea w’hat a job it is to collect street tax. The officer has his hands full all the time, and he has to work nignt and day to get all street tax payers. The otiicer first gives the street tax payer a summons to appear at t'ne city hall, prepared to work on the streets ten days or pay tne ux, which Is Many ol me negroes, and whites, too l’or that matter, do not report to the city treasurer, and then the officer has to look up the person again. 'The negroes aii keep a keen look out for “the street tax collector” and as soon as he appears around one corner the negro disappears around another, and often the officer is alter one man for two or three weeks. CONSTABLE SHOT TO DEATH. Dispute Over Officer's Authority Ends in Killing. Birmingham, Ala., October 3.—L. F. Hollingqulst, a constable, was shot and instantly killed tonight by William A. Murphy, a moulder in the Decatur car wheels works. PRICE FIVE CENTS. BRUNSWICK ILL BE BENEFITTED * BIG NAVAL STORES TRUST WILL NOT DECREASE SHIPMENTS FROM THIS PORT. TRADE OF SOUTH GEORGIA It Will Now Come to Brunswick In stead of Savannah as Three Big Companies Leave That Port. The recent naval stores combine, into wnich six or seven of tne largest naval stores firms In Georgia and Florida have entered, seems to have been a good move for Brunswick, rather than to be the,cause of a reduction in our naval stores receipts. One of the best posted men in Brunswick on naval stores affairs was seen by a representative of The News yesterday, and to him he de monstrated plainly 'how Brunswick will he benefltted by tne combine. “You see,” said this gentleman, “The Downing Company, unlike the others who are in tne combine, will not lose its identity in Brunswick, but will continue to do business here as us ual The companies who nave enter ed the combine in Savannah will leave that port altogether. The cause or tins naval stores combine is well known. It was done simply because tile rate to Jacksonville and Fernan “na on rosin and turpentine is con siderably less than It is to the two Georgia ports and the Brunswick and Savannah companies were almost com pelled to enter tne merger to get the benefit of these cheaper rates.” ’’Now." continued this gentleman, "while a majority of the turpentine operators are located in i ior.ua, there aref- nevertheless a great many In South Georgia. For these operators Die rate to Brunswick and Savannah is cheaper than it Is to Jacksonville and Fovnandina and they will natural ly ship to the port that offers the low est rates. “Savannah loses three of its largest i-onipanles, while Brunswick loses none, therefore, these Georgia opera tor.; who have been shipping to Sa vannah will nereatter snip to Bruns wick. and our naval stores receipts will, 1 believe, increase instead of de crease by the combine. "You know Major Downing is a pretty shrewd business man, and you have noticed that his company is the only one that was given the privilege of continuing business at tne same place and was not required m go into liquidation. Major Downing had this done with the sole purpose oi handl ing t'ne naval stores of the South Geor gia operators, and he has made a very wise move.” Tne facts stated by this gentleman are very plausable when taken into consideration. As he stated, there are a number of operators in South Georgia who are going to ship their naval stores to the nearest shipping point, and witn three big Savanna'll companies entirely out of business at that, port, Brunswick will naturally receive - - these goods. At any rate, it seems that our city nas fared better than Savannah, Tampa and Pensacola, the otner cities who have entered the combine as the firms from these ports will all go into liquidation.
