Alderman T. W Shepherd has suggested
a plan for practical aud economical charity
in Beaumont He requests that citizens
pay into a general fund the amount OF
money per month they give to profess
sional and other beggars and that here
after parties applying for charity either
in the way of food or money be sent to
the treasurer of the fund. He Is OF the
opinion that this plan will starve the
