The marriage of Mr. Frank C, Briggs
of Houston and Miss Nannie Lee
Thompson, eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. V. D. Thompson of this city, which
was solemnized in Houston on Saturday
at 4 p. m„ came as a great surprise to
the relatives and many friends of the
young couple. The date of the wedding
was set for the'15th instant, but as the
bride was visiting her aunt, Mrs. N. B.
Sligh of Houston, the young people de-
cided to be quietly married1 and avoid
the trouble of a big wedding. The
young couple left for New Orleans for
a visit and returning will, make Hous-
ton their home. The bride is one of
Galveston's loveliest young girls of the
younger set while the groom, a brother
of Mr. Harry A. Briggs of this city, is a
valued employe of the G., H. and H.
railroad in Houston. '

At the last tnoment one of the acts
billed for the Dixie for this week was
changed and in place of the trained
goats and pigs, the Youngers appeared
in a Roman posing act, followed by
exhibitions of strength. The act is
one of genuine merit, and the patrons
of the Dixie were more than pleased
with it.

Having suffered for twenty-one years
with a pain in m? side I finally have
found relief in Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
feoot. The physicians called it “Mother’s
Pain” and injections of morphine were
my only relief for short periods of time.
I became so Sick that I had to undergo
a surgical operation in New Orleans,
which benefited me for two years.
When the same pain came back one
day I was so sick that I gave up hopes
of living. A friend advised me to try
your Swamp-Root and I at once com-
menced using it. The first bottle did
me so much good that I purchased two
more bottles. I am now on my second
bottle and am feeling like a new
woman. I passed a gravel stone
large as
small ones,
feeling of pain since
Swamp-Root and I feel it my duty to
recommend this great medicine to all
suffering humanity. Gratefully yours,

Leonard Josepls Injured in r.n Accidenl
Yesterday Afetrneen.
Mr. Leonard Joseph suffered a frac-
ture of his right arm and other in-
juries of less degree yesterday after-
noon when his automobile turned over.
He was driving and the sole occupant
of the car when it turned over round-
ing the corner of Tremont street and
Avenue N. The car was not seriously
damaged.
“Jumping' Jupiter.”
At last, says an advance notice, we
are to have the popular agitator ot
laughs, Richard (Himself) Carle, with
us in “Jumping Jupiter” at the Grand
tomorrow night.
Perhaps none of the funny men oi
the stage is more cherished by play-
goers than this eccentric man of the
elongated and elastic physique, com-
ically lachrymose voice and almost al-
ways tentative manner. Certainly no
other funster even remotely ap-
proached Carle’s method of putting
laughs over the footlights, whether
with a song, a dance, a quip or a
quirk.
Report has it that “Jumping Jupiter”
will rank in its laugh values with the
former stellar mediums of this come-
dian and that his supporting company
surpasses in quality any of his former
rosters. In Boston Carle has just fin-
ished a two months’ run, it was the
greatest success of the season. Mr.
Carle elaborated “Jumping Jupiter”
from a well-known farce by Sydney
Rosenfeld, and his skill in fitting I irn-
self with parts that best exploit his
e.wn characteristic talents is so well
known as to guarantee that he will be
seen at his best in “Jumping Jupiter.”
At the same time he has generously
provided all his associates with nu-
merous opportunities to shine at their
best.

One of the most elaborate, and at

cessful New Year watch parties that
has ever gathered in the state, last
evening met at the Hotel Galvez to
pay respects to the last hours of 1911,
and to extend a greeting to the new
year 1912.
The event, which had been arranged
by Manager J. F. Letton of the Gal-
vez, and for which preparations
been under way for the past three
can be safely said to have
been one of' the leading social suc-
cesses of 1911 and a beginning for the
year 1912 that will live as a shining

Attorney,” better
known as “In the Bishop’s Carriage,”
was an emphatic renewal of the eld
Galveston dramatic success, and to say
that the Dudley company did itself
proud would hardly be doing it justice.
Miss Bonnie as the unfortunate Nan
Olden, who never knew .‘anything but
“cruelty” charity, handled a remarka-
ble role in the girl who raised herself
from the depths of the slums to moral
greatness, rose to heights of greatness
she never had before. Mr. Dudley car-
reid off the title role in his most in-
imitable manner and Mr. Justus gave
a powerful impersonation of the un-
fortunate crook, Tom Dorgan. George
Murdock, one of the new members of
the Dudley company, is impressive in
size and style as an artist his charac-
terization of Edward Ramsey, the
(’’business souset” was most artistic
bit of work. Messrs Ellis, Crawley,
Justus, Morse and Truxillo did well in
minor roles and Misses Romaine as

and Shrewsbury in the fine character
role as Meg Monahan did themselves

and that portion of the loggia adja-
cent, had been thrown into one large
1 of the folding
doors, and set off from the main lobby
by the erection of an arch across the
entrance, and in this dining?room, to-
gether with the terrace dining-room in
the east wing, the tables, .175 in num-
ber, had been placed, arranged accord-
ing to party reservations.
The lobby of the hotel, the reception
hall in the west wing and the dining-
rooms had been lavishly and tastefully
decorated, tons of evergreens, holly,
smilax and cut flowers being used in
an artistic manner. On each of the
tables there appeared a miniature
Christmas tree laden with Yuletide
decorations, the place of each guest
being further decorated by means of
evergreens and flowers. Favors in the
form of seashell horns, emblematic of
Galveston, had been placed at each
plate, together with French, bonbons,
in which were hidden those delightful
mysteries that were revealed by a
snapping of the cracker that each con-
tained.
A special favor for each of the lady
■guests .was in the form of a handsome
bound yearbook with hand-painted
covers, the books in addition contain-
ing the menu card of the evening and
the program of special music rendered
during the evening by the Royal Hun-
garian orchestra of Philadelphia under
the leadership of Prof. Matus and the
regular hotel’ orchestra under the
leadership of Prof. J. J. Blood.
GUESTS ARRIVE.
At 8:30 the guests began to arrive
and by 10' p. m., the hour announced
for the opening of the dining-room, 7
the lobby and reception halls were fill-
ed' with a happy crowd of merrymak-
ers, the rich evening gowns of the la-
dies and the conventional black even-
ing dress of the gentlemen making a
scene that needed to be seen to be ap-
preciated. At the announcement of the
of the dining-room there
blazed into view over the arch erect-
ed at the entrance to the banquet-
rooms the figures “1912,” giving the
intended impression that the guests
were then passing out from the old
year into the new. The arrangement
of places and the reservations for. the
guests was fulfilled with that exact-
ness which bespoke careful prepar-
ation, and the service started promptly
on time.
Prior to the serving of the first
courses the guests investigated the
favors that were- found at each plate,
a^nd in a very few. moments the sound
of tooting horns and merry laughter
filled the building, while from each
table there began to fly through the
air hundreds of gayly colored ribbons
of paper, which entwined themselves
among the guests, over the lights and
around the tables, adding to the gen-
eral effect of the scene.
At the hour of 12 midnight, the notes
of a deep-toned bell hidden in some
secret recess of the hotel began to
peal, and with each stroke up to six
the lights in the building began to go
out, until the sixth stroke the entire
hotel wa.s in darkness, telling of the
death of the old year. At the twelfth
stroke there blazed into view in each
of the dining-rooms the mysie figures
of the new year “1912” in electric
lights, while at the same time the two
orchestras struck up the national an-
them,, “America.” The toast to
.new year and to “Our Country”
drunk standing, after which the lights
were again turned on and the banquet
proceeded.
Each of the various parties repre-
sented at the different tables seemed
to vie with each other in mery-mak-
ing and good cheer. Songs, toasts to
the city of Galveston, to the Hotel
Gajvez, and to the honor of the United
States navy and the army were drunk.
MUSICAL NUMBERS.
During the evening various of the
guests favored the gathering witft spe-
cial musical numbers, among the latter
being members of the Aborn Opera
Company, who rendered songs befit-
ting the occasion.
Each and every detail of the even-
ing reception had been arranged with
care and everv detail was carried out I
in a manner that reflected great credit
on Manager J. F. Letton, Assistant I
Manager T. C. Metoyer and the entire

Grand Opera-House.
“The Bohemian Girl,” known and
loved of old, Was ably presented at the
Grand Saturday matinee and night and
last night by the Aborn Opera Com-
pany. Miss Blanche Morrison sang the
leading role last night and Miss Anna
Hull took the role on Saturday. The
production has been splendidly staged
by the Aborns and. the costumes are
bright and picturesque.
Of course the good old familiar mu-
sic was skillfully handled by the or-
chestra and the artists. /The Aborns
would not stand for anything mediocre
in this line. Both Miss Hull and Miss
Morrison are singers of genuine abil-
ity, and their efforts were^received
with enthusiasm. John R. Phillips as
Thaddeus is also a decidedly capable
artist. His rendition of “Then You’ll
Remember Me” was particularly ef-
fective.
The second act is one of the best-
staged affairs seen here in months,
the acrobatic performances of Has-
san’s Arabs being the stellar feature.
The performers are marvels of skill
and speed, and bring tremendous ap-
plause from the audience.
It has developed that some patrons
of the Grand were under the impres-
sion that “The Bohemian Girl” was to
be sung by the same people who ap-
peared here in grand opera last year,
but this Is an error. The Aborn Grand
Opera Company is booked to come here
some time in February.
