HINT TO POOR BOARD.
A Tax Payer Makes Suggestion
About Election of Tax COLLECTOR.

A Carbondale tax payer who keeps
himself we'll posted on the laws govern
inf this city handed the following to
The Tribune last night, apropos of the
failure of the poor board to elect a tax
collector by reason of the absence of d
quorum:
las it appears to be impossible for
the poor board to get a quorum to-
gether to elect d collector Of taxes, they
may save themselves the trouble by
looking at an act, passed by the last
legislature, which provides for the col
lection of school and poor taxes by the
city treasurer, dated June 20, 1901"

Christmas Customs in the
Hawaiian Islands

For thin gowns are the order of the
day in Hawaii. even in midwinter; and
the maidens. with their organdies and
grass linens. their quantities of fresh
flowers. their big sun hats, look like
so many picknickers rather than par
takers in Christmas festivities.

Whatever they eat. whatever they

There is one thing about Christmas
| in Hawaii that is like Christmas every
where; the chief part, the best part
of the festival. is the joy the children
have in it. And how the tots out there
do enjoy it! There are the little Ha-
waiian girls, dressed only in cotton

boats leave New York whether or not
connection will be made with through

rangement will be made for the daily

1t was also decided at the recent
meeting to form a combination with
the trans7American and transpacific
lines, so that round-trip tickets from
New York to Peking could be sold at
the former city, with the privilege of
going by the Pacific and returning by
the transsiberian route, or vice versa.
