'NIC'' is MISSING.
Famous Cat Of the First
National Bank Hasn't
Come Back.

Mig that handsome black cat, who
lorded it for years in the First National
Bank of this city is missing, and sorrow
prevails among hundreds VINO visited the
bank and were accustomed to pat his
SLEEK coat
Mig was no common overnight So
1oist on the roof or back fence. but a
highly aristocratic member of the genus
felis Attached to the most important
financial institution in the State, his be-
havior clearly showed that he was aware
OF the meaning of the words "noblesse
oblige,
Somehow it looked as If he, at night
prowling about the bank, ahd ascertained
the balances of the depositors. One thing
Is sure, whenever big man came into
the building mig conferred on him the
compliment or rubbing his silky sides
against that gentleman's calves; he had
no use for any individual of the please
y-a-ticket-for-an entertainment. That
person was promptly Stunned, and no
amount of caressing, as he stood at the
door of the bank with his tail proudly
waving, made the slightest impression.
Mig seven years ago, was a little fell
low with doubtful pedigree. Engineer
Caterer, of the bank, picked him up and
treated his small feet which had been
burned by children playing with matches.
Careful and kind attention brought Mig
back to sound health, and he never forgot
his physician. His quarters were in the
engine room of the bank, and at eight
o'clock in the morning precisely he ate
his breakfast table d'hote fashion. Then
he would go upstairs and wait on the
stone coping outside of the doors of the
bank for the arrival Of certain car
riage.
Immediately it drew up before the door
and a welI-known distinguished citizen
alighted, Mig frisked off, relieved that
the affairs of the bank were all right
since the president was about. Then he
had to look after Gopsills Insurance
Agency and when he found that the
members Of that firm and the Hudson
River Ice Company opposite were on deck
he would walk back to distribute his ia
vors on Mr. G. NJ Conklin, the cashier;
Mr.. ]. II. omberson and others on the
staff
Poor .'Ng'' didn't come home the night
before last, nor since. and because he
was strictly proper cat and not given to
wandering about nights. and had no fe-
male entanglements, Engineer Caterer
believes he has been stolen.
Il am afraid. he said mournfully this
morning to a News representative zone
of those Eyetalian sailors about here took
him. l hear they stroke the spine Of the
cat with something and kill him, and
then eat him.

STREET AND WATER BOARDS BUDGET
Distribution of License Monies
Under New Act Means
Grave Complications
for City.

The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners are preparing their part OF the
tax burget so that it will be completed
on May l.
Clerk G. T. Bouton said this morning
that he could not give out any figures, but
said the department was little better on
than it was a year ago owing to the
checks placed on the proper methods OF
doing business by Mayor Pagan. He said,
however, he hoped that conditions would
be bettered shortly. He confessed he was
not clear as to the manner this desirable
state Of things could be brought about
bat trusted somewhat to luck and the
dawning of reason in the brain Of the
Mayor.
Another stumbling block has beer
placed in the way of the Street and Wa
ter Board by the signing of bill No lSs,
which places the distribution Of liquor
license money in the hands of the Board
of Finance exclusively. Heretofore the
Street and Water Board has had half oil
the liquor money. but bill No. 1SS, which
has been signed by the Governor, says the
Board of Finance shall give the Street
and Water Board any amount it may sec
fit: but not more than half of the money
may be paid The Board of Finance can
go so far as to refuse to allow the Street
and Water Commissioners any money
whatever. This would throw the depar1-
rnent back so that it would be in more de-
plorable straits than ever.
A great many streets and sewers now
maintained with the liquor money would
have to be practically abandoned and the
department would have to give up all
hope of ever getting out of debt.
The Commissioners are prepared to go
before the Board of Finance next We'd
nesday at the meeting of that body aud
talk over the question. They viii not
call upon the Mayor for any assistance.
preferring to abide by the act of the
Board of Finance. which will then receive
the Mayors attention.

RULESUNCHAN(;ED.
Board Of Education Refuses
to Alter It's Regulations
for Principals Ex-
aminations.

The Board of Education last night took
its first and last action on the efforts OF
some of the teachers to wipe out the rule
recurring the examination of teachers for
promotions to the ranks of principals and
vice-principals. The Board killed the
movement by the adoption of a resolu-
tien introduced by the committee of the
whole, in which it was set forth that the
rules objected to should be upheld.
For some months the teachers have
made strenuous efforts to have the rules
abolished and they filed a number of Pc
titions with the Board, which were sign
ed by themselves and by several citi-
zens There was never any further pub
lie action than the fling of these petit
ions, and the referring of them to COM
mittees.
Last night after the regular business
of the Board meeting was disposed of the
Board went into session as a Committee
of the Whole. Director Lewis was made
chairman and Director Rridgeway offer
ed the following resolution, which was
adopted without any discussion
Whereas Petitions have been pre-
sented to this Board praying the re-
peal or amendment of its rules re-
specting the appointment of princip-
ais and yice-principals Of the public
schools of this city so that appoint
ments to such positions shall be made
hereafter without the examinations
as to fitness and qualifications of ap-
plicants as is now required by the
rules of this Board
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
Board the retention of rules requiring
the examina ton of applicants for
responsible positions of principal and
vice-principal of the public schools of
this city upon the subjects required by
the present rules or upon subjects kim
dred thereto is absolutely necessary
in order to obtain the highest degree
of proficiency and fitness of princip-
ais and vice-principals for the duties
of such positions, and therefore this
Board, in view of it's responsibility to
provide for the people of the city the
best instructors of their children pos
sible to be obtained, must refuse to
grant the prayer of said petitioners.
