GALNEsTNN NOCuETY.

There IL no place In the state which
has been more completely metamor-
Ihosed than Galveston has since the
war. The whole tone and spirit Of II,
socially and commercially, has
changed. Progress has faced its
southern characteristics and grated
upon 1t northern and European habits,
tastes and ideas. "rhe old, familiar
faces" are seen but seldom on her
streets or In her salons. The very ar
chitecture of the houses aud dress of
the people has changed. Society is
composed largely OF new people and
an old resident or visitor would find
himself quite stranger and miss the
familiar southern accent and n certain
general softness and graciousness
peculiar to southern women of the best
type. There is more luxury and style
than there was under the old regime,
but II is questionable whether the So
ciety is as polished, cultivated or select.
The standard of admission to its sacred
precincts ismore one of money than
of birth, breeding, culture or talent.
This must needs be the case in all
places rapidly built up. The first
generation do the accommodating neces-
sary to found family, the second have
the money and leisure to elevate them
selves In the work Of refinement and
distinction. There are few old fam.
lilies distinguished by their services,
talents and hereditary high social posi-
ton, who form within themselves
very charming circle. They partci-
pate in the general business of society,
but draw among themselves an invsi-
BILE line of distinction between the nou-
vedu richie and themselves. They are
in the minority and many of them
poor, and cannot hope long to stem n
current which is rapidly making Gal
weston society material, and money its
god. S%kf

the EXCURSION AND CONVENTION
BORE,

lfthere are any two things of the
day that are thoroughly overdone and
have become hores Of the first magni-
tude, they are conventions and excur-
sions. 1t is the rarest thing in the
world that the representative men. the
men OF the highest talent or position.
are seen figuring in them. The time
approaches for an epidemic of excur-
sions and conventions of all Sorts The
average convention is pretty much al
ways the same thing. There IL the
grandiloquent call, the cut and dried
resolutions, the usual amount of bun
combe, winding up with fulsome thanks
for the privilege of having been pro.
miscuously dead headed, with the
threat Of meeting again and going
through the performance again and
accomplishing about as much as before.
The excursion, though, is the greatest
Of the two bores. A party of ladies
and gentlemen may innocently make
up a travelling party and start out on
trip Of recreation. The professional
excursionist hears OF II and rings him
self in. From that moment IL issD ex-
cursion, and every city passed through
swe'ls the list until the railway COM
panies and hotels find themselves ssd-
