THE MAYORS CABINET.

He following mournful item appeared in
the Morning News the other day: "The
monthly meeting of the Mayors Cabinet was
held in the City Hall yesterday. The subjects
discussed were not disclosed" From another
source we learn however, that the hour OF meet
ing was changed and hereafter five instead of
four members will constitute quorum. Alas,
single liner. where we should have a scare
head"
The Mayors Cabinet idea, Mayor Spruancc in
hcrited from the administration of Mayor Will
son. When first suggested the plan of having
a cabinet was hailed with satisfaction. and we
still believe that it is an excellent thing for the
leaders of the city administration to meet to-
gether and talk things over But during the
Wilson administration some of those who at
tended the sessions adverse TO expressing
their views before the acute Of the reporters
and darkness and gloom envelopcd the meetings
where brightness and light should have held sway.
Then interest Jagged in the cabinet. Little at
tention was paid to It, but suddenly the mouse
brought forth mountain, for the cabinet recon-
mended the surrender OF part of the citys water
rights to the railroad company.
After that the cabinet seemed to have no solid
reason for existing.
When he took office Mayor Spruance bravey
tackled the cabinet just he tackled about
everything else that came in his direction But
the cabinet we regret to say, does not seem to
have been success Yet we are firmly con-
vinced that such meetings as contemplated
could be Of much general benefit. Just think
Of the MacLean dinner when Board of Trade
members and others exchanged enough bright
views about Wilmington TO keep all Of us busy
for year in considering. And Captain Horace
Wilson and DR.. Spruance were among the best
of them. SO we think that II the heads Of de-
partments and the Mayor were to get together
and talk it over, much good would come. The
city administration should work in harmony for
the advancement of the interests Of the city, re-
gardless of politics.
We cannot imagine that the Mayors Cabinet
could meet time after time WITHOUT considering
matters OF interest something helpful if all those
concerned should heartily enter into the mat
ter.

not need to resort to laxatives OF liver

CAT COMES BACK
AFTER TWO YEARS
Feline "Jim'' Learns Bad
Tricks While Away From
Master

One OF the most intelligent cats in
the city is owned by S. J.. Fell and
Company, of Fourth and Shipley
streets. After an absence of more
than two years, during which no trace
of him could be found, the cat was
found purring at the door of the Fell
store one morning recently. He has
now resumed his sceptre as king of
the pets, and is again entirely at home
to all the tabbies of the neighbor-
hood.
The returned traveller is called
Jim" This is 20 say, such is his
name to intimates. Strangers must
always call him James if they de-
sire to win his favor. Jim is a great
big fellow with grey and black tiger
stripes. He is fat enough TO be good
natured, but not so fat as to be slug
gish and bad mice must beware.
During his absence "Jim" fell into
bad ways. He had been trained not
TO molest the canary birds and fancy
mice kept in the store, but he now
shows an undue curiosity concerning
them and he must be trained again.
Jim is known all over the neigh
borhood, and there is hardly a house
that he has not visited. He is es-
pecially fond Of lettering about the
saloons, and has a purr for every bar
keeper within two squares.
How and why "Jim" disappeared
two years ago is not known. 1t is
supposed that he was stolen. Who
ever had him priced him, and he re-
turned as fat and sleek as when he
left. A curious fact was that he wore
the same collar he had when he dis
appeared.

on the confines OF the frozen north. The
habit OF shifting the burden Of any indls-
cretion or extravaganza ON the part Of a
man Of standing 10 the shoulders Of tho
newspapers Is a very general one; and an
odd feature Of it Is that those who do
so are unconsciously committing the very
fault for which they chiefly blame the
papers-setting down as fact what they
have not taken the trouble to verify as
true. Cases have not been unknown in
which an indiscroet utterance ascribed to
man of emincnce has been positively
acknowledged by him as authentic, and
yet his admirers or defenders have per-
sisted IN pointing to it as a Caring in
stance of newspaper fabrication. There
is quite as much looseness in peoples talk
about newspapers as there is in the news
papers talk about people.

A year ago the Lucore Piano COM
pany was an infant but a lusty one.
Today it is a giant and an honor in the
world of music.
Knowing full we'll that they were
up against keen, wideaWake competi-
tors, the members of the Lucore COM
pany, with the old adage in mind, HE
that falters is lost" laid their plans for
stupendous business organization, in
Guiding seven Pacific coast cities.
Every detail of the plan adopted has
been carried through and the Lucore
stores are a feature in every big city on
the coast.
Their latest venture and a big one
was the establishment of their local
warehouse at the corner of Seventh
and Alameda streets, where they not
only have room for hundreds of high
class instruments, but every inch of
available space is occupied.
The trackage facilities are all that
could be demanded, and the Lucore
company can now sell piano from
sample on the floor at the salesrooms,
Seventh and Hope, telephone to the
warehouse and have q duplicate boxed
and on board the cars for shipment
before the out-of-town purchaser could
reach the station for the return journey
