Judging from France's poor suc
cess in securing the co-operation of
the other Powers for the protection
of foreign residents in China, these
Powers are more intent On watching
each other than in protecting their
people from the blood-thirsty Mon
golian. President Harrison's brother-in-law
says an agreement has been en
tered into between the President and
Mr. Blaine that neither is to talk
politics until after the Minneapol's
convention. If all the politicians
would strike a trade like this what
a long needed rest this country
would have.

When the band played the Star
Spangled Banner in the theatre at
Washington the other night the
President and his family, who were
in their box, stood up until the air
was finished. About the fourth of
March, 1893, the Democrats will
play something like that; he'll be in
a box, too, and he'll not only stand
up but he will walk out.
When death pulled the strings and
Dom Pedro, the exiled Emperor of
Peru, passed from the stage last Fri
.day, it was the exit of an actor who
had played well his part. Although
an Emperor he was always a man in
full sympathy with the people and
never forgot that he was one of
them. He had lived well and died a
kingly man, though an uncrowned
Emperor. In losing his crown he
never lost his manhood nor his love
for hispeople nor his country.
The Augusta Chronicle says the city
has been counting up, and finds rea

results of the last exposition held
there. Since the organization of the
Exposition Company in 1888, over
three millions of dollars have been
expended in improvements, new
buildings, manufacturing enterprises.
&c. The business men are so much
elated over the success of the late
exposition that they are already be
ginning to prepare for a big cotton
exposition m 1892. Augusta, like
other cities, has learned that these
things pay. - ' ' ' .:'

Savannah News : One of the most
level-headed and careful watchers of the
market said yesterday in speeking of
cotton, "No, I do not expect the receipts
to fall off before January. They will
continue at about the same rate at pres
ent. Consequently I am not calculating
upon any unusual advance in prices. I
still stick to my estimate of 7,500,000
bales for the crop, however, and have
made several wagers on that basis.
Everything has tended to a rapid mar
keting of the crop this year, the splen
did season for harvesting and the neces
sities of the farmers chiefly. After
Christmas there will be a marked falling
off and a corresponding advance in
prices." A number of wagers are being
made on the Bay as to whether the crop
will be 7,500.000 bales, 7,750.000 bales or
8,000,000 bales or over, odds being asked
on the highest and lowest.
Almost a Fire.
An alarm, sentln from box 31, corner
of Sixth and Campbell streets, about 3
a. m. yesterday, called the. Department
to a supposed fire in the grocery store
of C. E. Smith, corner of Eighth and
Campbell streets.
Mr.. Smith was awakened by an ex
plosion of fire-crackers, as he was sleep
ing in a backroom of the store, and
hurried into, the store room in time to
extinguish the sparks before anything
else was ignited. -He thinks rats had
gnawed and set some matches, on fire
and these had caught the fire-crackers.
The damage was very slight.
Galatea.
The performance by the above name
is being shown on Second street, at C.
M. Whitlock s old stand. It is a very

everything pleasant and comfortable ior

Paralyzed by a Mule.
The dynamitic danger attending "pro
jecting" with the business end of a well
regulated mule was realized yesterday
on Market street. The mule of Ed.
Giles, a colored man, of, Castle Haynes,
got loose and in trying to creep upon
and capture the fugitive, Giles was cata
pulted some distance by a kick from the
mule.
Then a colored boy tried to catch the
mule and was "paralyzed" by a similar
effort on the part of -the animal. No
bones were broken and the only result
perceptible is the wide berth a mule is
given by the man and boy.
RNING-
WHAT IT HAS DONE.
Welcome Week Increases Business,
Brings New Customers and Cements
Old Ones Another An Assured Fact.
The smoke of battle has cleared
away, accounts have been audited, the
ledger has been balanced, and the debt3
and credits of Welcome Week are
known of all. The resultant impression
produced on the minds of business men
was sought by a Star reporter yester
day and is given briefly below.:
Messrs. George R. French & Sons,
wholesale and retail shoe honse, think
it was decidedly the most enlightened
thing of the sort ever attempted and the
best in present and prospective benefits j
to business. Trade during the week in
their line was ' extraordinarily good, j
About $50,000 were left in the city, that
would not have come but for the occa
sion. An annual repetition is a neces
sity, and with more time for prepara
tion every thing will be on a more ex- I
tensive scale. Subscriptions will flow
in more freely next year.
Morris Bear & Bros., wholesale dry
goods, believe the money subscribed
was well invested. Trade, with them,
was better than their most sanguine ex
pectations led them to hope for, and
they are well satisfied with results.
With more time we will do better next
year and another W. W. is a fixed fact.
H, C. Evans, wholesale and retail
shoe store, knows it was a huge success.
His business was largely increased;
money subscribed was well expended.
He wants one next and every year.
Brunhild, Simon & Co., wholesale
liquor dealers, say their trade was in
creased on account of the affair. They
are in favor of another and a bigger next
year, and may be counted on fnr ma
terial assistance. This was a poor crop
year. Had it been an average one the
snccess would have been more marked.
Giles & Murchisou, wholesale and
retail hardware, are favorable to another
next year. The W, W. as an attraction
lor visitors was a big success. They
think it paid. -
Williams & Robinson, wholesale and
retail carpets, &c., sold goods to people
they" never heard of before, some of
them right at the gates of Charleston.
No. money was ever better invested.
Bound to repeat next year on a bigger
fashion. They are enthusiastic advo
cates of an annual W. W.
Gleaves Hardware Co., wholesale
only, believe strongly in the vast bene
fits already derived and yet to accrue to
the business interests of the city. Next
year we will have more money and a
greater show.
Rheinstein & Co., wholesale dry
goods, say their books show an increased
trade; the affair was a success and should
be repeated annually.
S. H. Fishblate, clothier, received at
least $2,500. or $3,000 more than he
would have gotten without the W. W.
He saw men drawn hither he had not
seen in eighteen years. We just can't
do without it.
Chesnutt & Barrentine, wholesale and
retail shoe house, advocate a larger
thing next year. No money could have
been so well spent, they got customers
they never saw or heard of before; their
new wholesale customers out of the
State were quite a feature of the week.
Of course they want another.
Brown & Roddick, wholesale and re
tail dry goods, notions, &c, report an
immense trade', the money brought
good returns and we must have larger
"Welcome" next year.
E. Warren & Son and Barrentine &
Turlington, fruiterers and confectioners,
claim a big trade. They will have daisy
floats next year.
M. M. Katz & Son, dry goods, no
tions, &c, affirm that the week brought
them a large trade and they got more
than the worth of their money expended
for it. Must have another and better
show with more time for preparation.
Sol Bear, wholesale dry goods, re
ports greatly improved trade and favors
another effort for next year.
D. Newman & Son, wholesale dry
goods, say an increased trade was at
tracted that would not have come
otherwise; must repeat in 1892. They
will have a big float and give more
money next year.
W. E. Springer & Co., wholesale and
retail hardware, did not. expect very
great immediate benefits, but are well
'satisfied with their trade. They sub
scribed liberally and favor a repetition.
It brings new men who will be sure to
make customers when approached by
trade solicitors, as they have enjoyed
our hospitality. This year it was good;
next year it will be better, and' the city
has been benefitted,
I. L. Greenwald, retail shoe store, did
not count on much benefit in his line,
but is content; thinks the city was bene
fitted, and every year ought to see
another.
E. H. Sneed & Co., furniture house,
estimate that at least $100,000 ' were
brought to the city during the week.
Mr. Sneed was reliably, informed that
thirty-six country merchants, by actual
count, were - in a store on the wharf at
the same time. The firm sold goods as
fast as they could ship them; would
double their -subscription next year,
and wanted "W. W." in the spring as
well as winter. .
StAK
- H. H. Munson & Co., clothiers, though
a little late for them, are well satisfied
with sales ; are anxious for another in
1892, and will have a grand float.
J. C. Stevenson & Taylor, wholesale
grocers, were not in when the reporter
called, but it can be safely stated that
the W. W. has no stronger friends or
warmer advocates.
C. W. Yates, book store, thinks his
business reaped a good share of the
fruits of the week and he wants it con
tinued. Trained Soldiers on Guard.
The Executive Committee for Wel
come Week will meet again Tuesday
night, and every member should attend
for mutual and self-gratulation. Com
posed of .the chairman of each of the
committees, they were the warp and
woofthe sinews and back-bone, the very
essence of them all; and to them is due
great praise and credit for the stalwart
offspring.
Beginning with nothing, and little
time for it, they wrought order and
glorious success out of chaos. They
"plucked safety from the nettle danger."
Hampered from the start with the
dismal croakings of the brigade
of wet-blanketers, who predicted
failure, the dauntless, unterrified Execu
tive Committee planted their banner
well in advance, and, fighting every inch
of the way, conquered a victory grander
and more far-reaching in beneficial re
sults than ever before achieved in a like
undertaking.
It is always safe to keep trained, true
and tried soldiers on guard; therefore
let the Executive Committee be contin
ued for 1892. The doubters have all
been converted and become willing
workers and well-wishers. Now let the
old officers be sworn in for the war and
all will be well. The Star rises to
move that the Committee be continued."

As Others Saw Us.
With one accord they all say Wil
mington's big show was immense in
elements of perfection. A lady, now
visiting in the city, was in Charleston
during the gala week, and says Wil
mington had a much better show and
more visitors.
Mr. A. S. Winstead, confectioner, on
Princess street, attended the Charles
ton festivities, and affirms that ours
was much finer, drew more people, in
his opinion, and furnished superior
amusements.
The Charlotte News says:
Parties who arrived in the city this
morning from Wilmington, say that the
Welcome Week was really a fine suc
cess in all respects. The crowd was the
greatest that Wilmington has known
since the war. The trades display that
took place last night was a particularly
fine feature. Capt. Robertson says that
it woujd have done credit to Baltimore,
And in the same issue :
The Hornets Nest Riflemen speak
most enthusiastically of their trip. They
were treated royally by the people of
Wilmington and their stay there, though
necessarily brief, was exceedingly pleas
ant, A year or two ago, Wilmington's
boys in gray came up here and pocketed
the first money, and it is only fair that
the Hornets should have retaliated.
The Goldsboro Argus testifies as
follows :
All of our citizens who attended Wil
mington's Welcome Week report hav
ing had a most enioyable time.
Weather Forecasts. '
The following are the forecasts for

Another Shooting Match.
A movement is already on foot for an
other pigeon match, to take place in a
few weeks, and which will be a "dandy"
beyond a doubt. The recent "shoot" was
unsatisfactory owing to the scarcity and
condition of the birds, and the boys are
now "red-hot" for another. They all
think they can hit the birds next time;
but, if they do, they will have to do some
fine shooting, as the next lot of pigeons
will be the regulation "blue rocks"
from New York or New Jersey. There
will be at least six prizes offered, and it
is believed there will be not less than
twenty-five contestants.
It would be judicious for . those hav
ing the matter.in charge to call for en
tries earlly in order that an approximate
estimate of the nunjber of birds needed
may be made.
The Bice Mill Combine.
According to the Savannah News, the
rice milll owners have about come to
the conclusion that the proposed rice
mill combine has been abandoned. The
options expire to-morrow, and nothing
has been heard yet from the syndicate's
representatiyes looking to a close of the
deal.
It is known that Hamilton Disston
and Tohn D. Rockefeller, American cap-"
italists, were t interested in the deal.
Both are large holders of Florida lands,
and it is supposed they expected to in
augurate the cultivation of rice upon a
large scale. - Mr. Disston was in Savan
nah about three weeks ago upon this
business, and went from here to New
Orleans.
The "ST. M. C. A. Bazaar.
The Bazaar at the Y. M. C. A. rooms
closed last night after a most successful
week. All articles left over, unsold,
both fancy and substantial, were sold at
auction. The bidding was spirited and
the prices realized very satisfactory.
When the balance sheet is struck, it is
assured that over $500, clear, will be
added to the fund for furnishing the
rooms. The number of visitors during
the six days is estimated at fully 3,000.
The Star congratulates the charita
ble ladies upon the success of their no
ble labors in behalf of so worthy an
object, and the Y. M. ,G Association
should be grateful for the efficient co
operation of the charitable ladies com
puting the Women's Auxiliary.
A Worthy Beward.
G. S. Lewis, the seventeen-year-old
son of Mr. G. G. Lewis, is quite a hero,
having won his laurels by his efforts in
securing the arrest of the men who are
