Visiting Galveston Friends on a Trip
Around the World.
Among the passengers arriving this
morning on board the Mallory liner
Braz.os was the Hon. Daniel C. Briggs
of Dover, N. J., a retired capitalist of
his state and who in 1885 and 1886
represented his county in the legisla-
ture. Mr. Briggs is in Galveston as a
part of his tour around the world,
which began on the 7th dav of Feb-
ruary, 1306. and since which time he
ha^ thoroughly covered Europe with
all of its* places and cities of note.
This is the first visit of the gentleman
to the south and he is more than
pleased with what he has seen today
and with the treatment he has re-
ceived from the citizens that he has
come in contact with. A personal friend
of Mr. H. S. Cooper of the Galveston
Electric company, he has been given
an opportunity to see a considerable
portion of the city and he is sorry that
his time is limited here.
Mr. Briggs will leave Galveston to-
morrow morning over the Southern Fa-
cific, and the ticket that is being pre-
pared for him is said to be one of the
longest and most extended that has
been issued in the history of the
local office.

Chicago, Feb. 12.;—Mrs. Stanley Field
is working out a new plan for raising
in one day all of the money needed
here in charity during the year. The
time and also the wear and tear of
giving a charity ball, a street of Paris,
a pageant vivant and renaissance re-
vival will be shared by her system by
the women of wealth who have always
given their services.
Tag principles will be simply carried
out on a vast scale, according to her
present imperfect plan. Instead of one
charity, however, more than 200 would
be benefited, and the sum to be drawn
from the citizens of Chicago in 12 hours,
as Mrs. Field heard undismayed, would
have to be something like $3,000,000 if
it supplied the needs of the city dur-
ing the year.
Just who the taggers and who the
tagged would be is yet undetermined
and also the districts of operation. Mirs.
Field is now busy securing reports
from all of the charity organizations,
stating the amount of their expendi-
tures for a year and saying whether
they will give their co-operation. A
board made up of impartial judges is
to distribute the funds and each or-
ganization benefited will have to agree
not to approach people for money or
give charity entertainments.
The great object of the new plan is
to away with the trouble and fatigue
It is said that
of the women on whom the bur-
den has fallen in the past have fre-
quently been ill for months afterwards.
It is also intended to do away with
the practice among charity solicitors
of sellng boxes and asking for sub-
scriptions to all sorts of charities at all
of his courage, his sense of justice and
his friendship. I have known him for
39 years and he is the best friend I
ever knew.”
Profoundly
said in reply:
“If I never do anything more in the
world, I beg you to remember that I
am supremely content with what I have
done, and that you and others of Har-
vard and elsewJiere have by your ap-
preciation given me this content.”

Miss Alice Fisher was the honoree of
a pretty Valentine shower yesterday
afternoon given by Mrs. Seth Mabry
Morris. As the honoree is a bride-elect,
and St. Valentine day near at hand, the
afternoon was appropriately a heart,
party with Valentine verses. The guests
were given slips of paper, upon whicii
were valentines, numbered. They were
told to write an original valentine
which had for inspiration the nuptials
soon to be solemnized. Miss Eda Ohm-
stede read all the contribution aloud,
and by unanimous voice Nos. 8, 9 and
13 were adjudged the favorites. Tne
poet whose number was 9 was Miss
Lucy Mills Ballinger, the one whose
nom de plume was 8 was Miss Eilleen
Allen, and the No. 13 rbymster was
Miss Adoue. Miss Ballinger won in
this vote of three. The souvenir was
a heart-shaped cutglass nappy. The
winning lines were:
“Oh! Mr. Combie our Alice Will Steele,
Though we cannot understand it;
Little he knows how badly we feel
Or what we would do to prevent it.
“Of course he knows how we love her—
I am sure he appreciates that;
Or eles how could he have won her,
And so quickly, right off the bat?”
Miss Adoue’s lines were:,
“Billy Crombie, were you here,
You’d grow conceited soon, I fear,
For thirty maidens, young and fair,
To you tlieir love are laying bare
With pen and paper, in manner bold,
In spite of Alice’s glances cold;
We ask you sweetly, by this sign,
To come and be our Valentine.”
Miss Lobit won the consolation prize,
a box of valentine bonbons.
After the prize decision, Misses Jessie
Rhea Morris and' Mildred Morris
brought the honoree a large white
heart-shaped box, within which were
collected the novelty shower. The box
was ornamented with wide green rib-
and with bunches of Sweet Al-
The gift collection was an ex-
quisite one. After the trackages had
been unwrapped a two-course lunch-
eon of tea, chicken salad and ices was
served. The ices were frozen hearts
and the confections in this design. Bou-
quets of Sweeet Alice as souvenirs
each plate. The reception
rooms were decorated in S«veet Alice
blossoms and daffodils. The hostess
received her guests at this valentine
tea in a rose pink silk mull, and Miss
Fisher was becomingly gowned in light
blue satin directoire. Assisting Mrs.
Morris were Mrs. W. S. Carter, Mrs. W.
E. Evans and Miss Eddie Bowen Evans.
The guests enjoying this original aft-
ernoon were: Misses Beulah Gresham,
Bertha Lobit, Lucy Mills Ballinger,
