What the balloy Steamship Line Onors

That there Is no more desirable spot
In these United States for winter res
idence than Southern Texas Is now
generally accepted fact. Physicians who
have had experience In such matters,
and invalids who have made trial OF
our climate. unanimously agree In this
that Southern Texas. from October to
April, Is the true invalid's paradise.
This much being conceded. the best
means of reaching this much TO be de-
sired locality becomes n very necessary
consideration. Invalids from the east
naturally hesitate about undertaking so
long journey by rail, and pleasure
seekers involuntarily recoil from expos
ing themselves to the discomfOrts and
vexations OF trip by rail almost across
a continent. There Ia no doubt that
tens OF thousands are deferred from tax
ing advantage Of this unequaled winter
climate by such considerations, not I'M
derstanding that all these dlscomforts,
fatiguing experiences, vexatious delays
and days OF constantly increasing weak
ness and irritation may all be avoided
by taking the water route from New
York to Galveston.
The steamships OF the Mallory line,
which leave New York twice every
week for Texas, offer by far the most
desirable means OF communication be-
tween New York and the Texas coast.
These ships have been built expressly
for this travel and there are no steamers
niloat that are their superlors In speed,
accommodations, safety or the sumptu-
BUSINESS OF their appointments. Every

than 81 a.
In every particular, 1t being the
design OF the Mallory line to largely
monopolize the travel between New
York and Texas, by Offering such
superior Inducements to health and
pleasure seekers that there will be no
practical rivalry between this line and
the uncomfortable and wearisome Jour
ney by rail. Among the advantages
offered by this route are the saving of
all possible delays, all the annoyances of
change and transfers, all the discomfort
OF securing meals. the lack OF privacy Mt

enoes OF rail travel. The superior ac-
Communications of this line are offered at
materially love- rates than the railway
lines, being about the same for passage.
