The Houston East and West Texas re-
celved a request from w. W, Kent Of the
Southwestern passenger committee yester
day to discontinue the sale of Christmas
excursion tickets to points on the Nicks-
burg, Shreveport and Pacific, one of the
Queen and Crescent branches. between
Shreveport and Nicksburg, the authority
for which the line had obtained from the
passenger committee some time ago. The
Houston line answered Mr.. Kent that un-
der the law 1t required ten days notice to
discontinue the sale Of these tickets and
the time intervening between now and the
date OF use was insufficient, hence they
would continue in accordance with their au-
tlOrity

which was abandoned some time ago for
the reduction Of expenses, will be resumed
between now and January /. This PROPOSE
ton is said to have been under considera-
ton by the officials for the last month
and the visit OF the representatives OF the
Gould lines to Houston and Galveston Fri
day was for the purpose OF Determining
finally, upon the reinauguration OF the fast
mail service. While nothing was said Of
ficially or otherwise during their stay
here to warrant the assumption that the
service was to be taken up again, yet 1t is
understood they are thoroughly satisfied
that the fast mail is requisite TO maintain
their business to and from the COAST coun-
try.
The train will be fast one south as we'll
as north. The connection with the Cotton
Belt at Longview will put the Eastern
mail In Houston several hours earlier than
at present and afford good connections
from the East TO Southeast Texas The
northbound train, 1t Is said. will leave
Houston in time to make connections with
the fast trains out of st. Louis for the
East and put mail into St Louis from
Houston in about twenty-six hours.
No figures could be learned. but the In
ternational Cotton Ret and Iron Noun
tain, having the short line, renders the
time easily made. Another feature VIII be
the fine equipment.
When the trains were taken off It caused
great Inconvenience for through travellers
rs well as those using the line out of Hous-
ton for local points. and an early resump
tlon will certainly be appreciated.

What Is
.PURIFINE?

1t is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being a scientific compound,
having no Odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where Odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
Of charge, taken care OF and kept
working day and night for $100
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and APP
peals to everyone OF common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagr2eable smell of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant is being used
if you judge by the lack OF odor.
But it's doing the duty-doing it
well. Can W. show you the Ideal
Automatic Distributor? Our Mr..
Washburn will call, if you'll tele-
phone TO

\ report of the action of the
Board of Health in 1884, relative
to the necessity of action in eX-

issuance of health certificates,
was read.
DR.. Day thought no improve

ent law. 1t was simply a matter
of carrying it out.
DR.. Emerson said the trouble
was rather in the fact that when
children heard that an eXamina-
ton was to take place they alb
scented themselves from school.
Dr. Day thought the teachers
were responsible for such cases.
He suggested that a circular let
ter be sent to every teacher on the
islands informing them of the
law in such cases. The summer
vacation was close at hand and |
the examinations should be made |
