The Cabinet. 



J. Otto Thilow, president of the 

 Florists' Club, has announced a list 

 of his advisers, who will assume their 

 duties on Tuesday next. Here is the 

 official list: Secretary of state, DavM 

 Rust; secretary of the treasury, Geor^ 

 Craig; secretary of the interior, Fred- 

 erick Hahman; postmaster-general, Ed 

 ward Reid; commissioner of recreation, 

 William Graham; commissioner of im- 

 migration, Henry F. Michell; commis- 

 sioner of horticulture, Robert Craig; 

 commissioner of exhibits, Robert Kift; 

 secretary of commerce and labor, Sam- 

 uel S. Pennock. 



The elevation of Edward Reid to the 

 office of postmaster-general, stated hy 

 President Thilow in his Boston speech 

 as being the most important in his cabi- 

 net, is favorably received. Mr. Reid 

 will have charge of the essays of each 

 meeting. The creation of a new office, 

 styled abpve as commerce and labor, 

 sometimes given the ugly appellation 



of publicity, is modernism. Mr. Pen- 

 nock, who has been assigned to this 

 important position, is entrusted with 

 the duty of securing for us better and 

 broader pastures. 



Pottery Activity. 



.T. G. Whilldin, president of the Whill- 

 din Pottery Co., announces that Walter 

 Galloway has been elevated to the posi- 

 tion of secretary and treasurer of the 

 company. Mr. Galloway is a young 

 man of promise, son of William Gallo- 

 way, his predecessor in that office. Mr. 

 Whilldin also announces the purchase 

 by his company of thirteen lots, 25x100 

 feet each, situated on the main street of 

 New Durham, a station on the Erie 

 railroad, just outside of Jersey City. 

 Plans have been drawn for a hand- 

 some building to be used as a ware- 

 house, to be erected next spring. The 

 main office of the company in this city 

 has been strengthened by the addition 

 of a 120 horse-power engine and some 

 new machinery. Mr. Whilldin has se"- 

 cured the services of P. M. Read, one 

 of the best known newspaper men of 



this city, as a representative of the 

 company.

When a place is large and is also 

 interesting, it becomes necessary to 

 center attention on two or three points 

 when you are describing that place. If 

 you do not do this, the result is a ram- 

 bling, ramshackle sort of description 

 such as nobody reads, or, if they should 

 read it once, they would never, never 

 do it again. So when you mentally 

 search for the strong points that stand 

 out clearly above all others at Robert 

 Scott & Son 's, you think of the new 

 roses and of the gardenias. 



Alexander B. Scott was the first man 

 to discover how to flower gardenias in 

 midwinter, and he has not forgotten. 

 The proof of this assertion lies in the 

 splendid condition of the gardenias. 

 They are the picture of health and full 

 of buds. Mr. Scott has had a good 

 many gardenias during the fall, some 

 of them unusually early, through special 

 methods of culture.
