The wife of James G. Blame, Jr.,
has filed a motion in the " court at
Dead wood, S. D., for alimony and
attorney's fees. James Jr. objects
to paying alimony or any other
money as he says he finds it pretty
hard scratching to get money enough
to take care of himself.
John I. Stapler,; of Trenton, N. J.,
amassed a fortune of 150,000 making
crackers. He had lived plainly, but
concluded he would put on more
style andv built a handsome resi
dence. The style was too much for
him. He got an idea into his head
that it woura bring him to poverty.
This thought was too much for him,
and he went out and shot himself
in the head.
According-to the latest reports
from Japan the mortality and de
struction to property by the recent
earthquake were fearful. It is esti
mated that 7,560 persons were killed,
10,120 injured, 440,000 rendered
homeless and destitute, 89,630 build
ings being totally destroyed and
28,625 partially demolished. And
yet the people who escaped will
build their houses again right on the
same spot.
There has been very little emigra
tion from Japan, but since the Ma
kado has permitted his subjects to
emigrate, about 100,000 have sought
homes in other countries. There are
about 20,000 in the Sandwich Islands,
and a good many in Australia. There
are about 2,000 in California, where
they are increasing pretty rapidly.
But they are superior to the Chinese,
inoffensive and industrious, and there
is little objection to them.
Justice, if that's what they call it,
takes a pretty wide range in the
State of New Jersey, when a two-
year old child can be arrested for
larceny, an instance of which occur
red last week. A woman who had a
spite against her neighbor had the
child arrested. The little thing
peeped over the rail and said "good
morning" to the Judge. He heard
the complaint, lectured the woman,
fined the little tot a kiss, which he
collected right there, and sent her
home. .
It seems according to the Geodetic
Survey that Ohio is really entitled
to a long,triangular strip on the bor
der of Indiana, embracing about. 100
square miles and thus by a sweep of
the surveyor's chain a whole lot of
Hoosiers are suddenly converted into
Buckeye people. If this had been
discovered years ago lots of these
border people might have been feed
ing at the public crib in Wash
ington.
Chicago is so anxious to get rid
of the English sparrow, that she is
paying two cents a head for them.
One fellow brought in 6,000 heads,
having killed that many birds with
poisoned wheat. Another chap
brought in 197 b'rds and the clerk
told him to wring off the heads, and
he might dispose of the birds. He
took the hint and came in later in
the day with a broad grin, chuckling
over the $13 net cash which he had
raked in for 197 headless sparrows
which he had sold for "reed" birds.

An Interesting Service.
Dr. C. Durham, the Secretary of the
State Mission Board of the Baptists,
spoke Sunday morning at the First
Baptist church on the Cuban Mission.
He gave most entertaining information
as to the island of' Cuba; the character
of the climate, people, religion, &c. For
instance, he said the island was 700
miles long, and - from 75 to 150 miles
wide, had a range of mountains 500
miles long, its climate was never hotter
than 80 nor cooler than 60 degrees. It
is exceedingly fertile has only, half as
large an area of land as North Carolina,
but about twice as many people, who
are fearfully oppressed by Spain.
They pay to the mother country from
$22,000,000 to $30,000,000 of taxes every
year, besides supporting their own gov
ernment ; and he further stated, that
from 60 to 80 per cent, of the people
would vote for annexation to the Unl
ted States if they had a chance. The
Baptist Mission began there in 1886 A.
J. Diaz, a Captain in the rebel army, to
escape capture by the Spaniards, cast
himself into the sea, and floated three
days and nights on a board; was -picked
up by an American vessel and carried to
New York, where he was converted,
joined a Baptist Church and returning
to Cuba, began to preach and
practice medicine. He was a great sue
cess from the start, being a man of fine
character, great learning and moving
eloquence, and as a native did not labor
under the disadvantage of having to
learn the language and the customs of
the people. He has gathered into
churches about 2.000 members, and
as many children in Sabbath and day
schools, and all his fellow pastors are
natiyes of the island. A theatre, costing
$60,000, had been bought jn the very
centre of the city as a church.
with stores and residences which will
Tent . for two tnousana aouars, an
under one roof, and it was to pay for
this Havana church that Dr. Durham
was pleading. North Carolina was
asked to give 255.000 and the Eastern
Association $500.
Dr. Durham spoke "on the same sub
ject at night to the Brooklyn Baptist
church, and at both meetings liberal
collections were raised.
At night in the same church, Rev. F.
T. Wooten, who was once a member of
this church, filled the pulpit.

ment yesterday to Thos. W. Strange,

'A STUPENDOUS SUCCESS.
Welcome Week Pleasant and Profitable
The Display Most Creditable, and It
Just Must Be Bepeated.
A Star reporter continued his inter
views, yesterday, with prominent busi
ness men of the city, to ascertain their
opinions of Welcome Week, what sort
of a display was made, and the effect on
the commercial interests of the cuy,
present and prospective.
Adrian & Vollers, wholesale grocers
and commission' merchants, think it was
a success and beneficial to the trade of
the city. The trades parade was good,
of course we ought to have another in
1892, but the parade should begin at
4 p. m. , N I
Alderman & Flanner, wholesale and
retail hardware, pronounce the enter
prise a hugesuccess; business was in
creased, new trade was made for the fu
ture. We must have another and a bet
ter Welcome next year, though this was
very good.
Hall & Pearsall, wholesale grocers and
commission merchants, believe it was
beneficial in its results; the money in
vested was well expended. Trade was
attracted here that would probably
have gone elsewhere. 'The display was
handsome; they are satisfied with their
business during the week and want an
other W. W.
Alex. Sprunt & Son are impressed
that the week was exceptionally bene
ficial to retailers. People were drawn
from a distance; thereby enlarging the
scope of the city's trade and this was a
clear gain. Certainly we must have an
other and another. They are all help
and no hurt. The display was fine.
Mr. J. R. Kenly, General Manager of
the Atlantic Coast Line, a retiring man
and not at all given to exaggeration,
thinks the trades display not only ex
ceedingly creditable, but the best he
has seen, and he has witnessed many.
The good results are not only percepti
ble now, but will be felt-hereafter most
beneficially. It drew strangers to the
city who appreciated the free entertain
ment, left with a good impression, and
will revisit us. It was a thorough suc
cess to the business interests, and
should be repeated.
Mr. W. A. Riach, General Auditor of
the A. C. L., a most genial gentleman,
and cautious in all his statements, from
reports given him by business men
concluded that business interests were
very much benefitted; the trades display
and all , entertainments were of a
high character. The business of the
city must have been largely and widely
extended. It ought to be held again
and at night, and better illumination
should be provided. i
Mr. Wm. Moncure, General Superin
tendent of the Carolina Central Rail
road, being absent from the city, Mr. W.
F. Williams, train master, was found in
his office and receive(Tthe reporter with
the courtesy so habitual with him. He
believes strongly that the trade of the
city was vastly improved in many
particulars and many a dollar was
left here on account of the free and
welcome show. Its future benefits could
scarcely be over estimated and would be
far reaching. The display was splendid
and, by all means, we must give an
other.
Mr. T. C James, Agent of the C. F. &
Y. V. R. R was cordial and gave it as
his firm opinion that every interest in
the city was benefitted. The display was
most creditable and should be a matter
of pride to all residents. More people
would have come but for a report that
somehow spread in the country, that the
bank failure had broken the Welcome
up. It should be repeated.
Mr. J. W. Martenis, General Passen
ger Agent of the.W., O. & E. C. R. R.,
assured the reporter in a pleasant and
decided manner that he was a whole'
souled W. W. man. He thought great
good had been accomplished in securing
new trade. The business of the city
could not be better advertised. The ex
hibition wes capital, it woouid never
do to let the Welcome Week go down.
Worth or Worth, wholesale grocers
and commission merchants, felt sure it
was a pleasant and profitable week for
all. Many agreeable old acquaintances
and new ones, were entertained by the
city s welcome gut. lhe display was
admirable, and the managers deserve
great credit. It was beneficial to the
city in many ways, and ought to be -re
peated.
Robert Morrison Dead.
Mr. Robert Morrison, a prominent
business man of this city, died suddenly
at his residence Sunday afternoon at
8.30, in the 68th year of his age, of heart
disease.
He had not been in robust health for
some time, but his death was unexpect
ed, as he had not been complaining in
a way to produce seribus fears hence
his death was a great shock to his fam
ily and the community. A native of
Philadelphia, he had been residing in
this city for forty years, and was
one cf the firm of Fowler & Morrison.
He leaves a widow and a grown son,
Mr. W. R. Morrison, who feel poignant
ly the grief arising from the lossota
kind, affectionate husband and father.
He was a member of. St. John's Episco
pal Church, and hisf uneral will take
place to-day.
