Houston, Tex., April 10.—A printed apology from the tax commissioner, J. J. Pastoriza, accompanies every tax bill received by citisens of Houston this spring. Pastorisa has been en? joined by a court from carrying out the policy on which Tie was elected tax commissioner, namely, exempting personal property, undervaluing build ings and making up the difference by a full appraisal on land.- A majority of the Texas legislature voted to legalise Pastorlsa's system, but the measure failed for lack of a two-thirds vote. Now Pastorisa promises to "sweat" Houston with an overdose of strictly legal taxation, but he explains in his printed apology that the person* seek ing the Injunction are to blame, not he. Under his tax exemption plan, Houston enjoyed three years of active growth and a large majority of busi ness houses and home owners peti tioned for its retention. ed in each ward for a term of two years. The following aldermen were elected: John Lobse in the First ward, Dr. Church ifi the Second and P. J. OatbOe in the Third. In the Sec ond, at the eleventh hour, opposition waA brought out against Dr. Chureh. it waft a lively mixup for a time, but the doctor won by a safe majority. Rugby. The Rugby election was a very quiet affair" in spite of the fact that there was a spirited contest on for one of the aldermanlc positions in the Third ward. In this ward Charles Severyn Was elected over H. J. 8annan by a majority of twenty-three votea, after a friendly scrap. J: F. Tracy is the new alderman from the First ward.

SlAMtOW, SrURDERER, By ». K. Wooley. Every little While some sentimental jat breaks into public print in defense of the "poor little Knfliah sparrow." One woman, claimed a while ago that if it were not for the sparrow in our cities children would grow up without any idea of what a bird looks like. Others claim that the English sparrow has been much malifned that it is really beneficial to us, though on what scientific grounds has never been made clear. The best argument I have seen in fkyor of the English eparrow is one offered by a man who olaims that if we advocate its wholesale killing, the uneducated public will kill anything that looks like a sparrow and so rid the country of varieties of sparrows that are really friends to humanity. The remedy for this is to educate the' school children in the appearance of the English sparrow. There is nO other bird exactly like it in marking, shape and voice, so that ones it is identified there need be no risk of harming other birds In a campaign against the English sparrow. A' short time ag6, !n warning me to have my bird houses throueghly cleaned before the martens, bluebirds and wrens return to them, Joseph H. Dodson of Chicago, who has made a lifetime study of birds, advised as fol lows "I note you say the English spar rows did not occupy your marten house this winter, but I doubt it very mueh and' I think if you will clean the house Out you will find it haa been Ut tered up by these nolsy, dirty, quarrel some pests. All bird houses should be cleaned out and disinfected every year in order to be sure Of success, YOU see, the eparroWs carry vermin. Other birds do mot. "I have absolute Information that the sparrows carry lice from one ohicken house to another and the University of Michigan states abso lutely that the sparrow will carry hog cholera from one farm to another. Now, If they will do this they will car ry the hoof and mouth disease from one farm to another. So they certain ly are an awful nuisance and ought te be eliminated." English sparrows are murderew. 8.
