The Great Register.

There seems to be a doubt in the minds
of great many citizens as to whether or
not the old Great Register can be used at
the coming city election, it having been
stated that in ordering new Great Regis
ter prepared the Board of Supervisors had
cancelled the old one. Such is not the case,
The old Great Register will be used and
names were added to it up to the 9th of
March. All registrations subsequent to
that date go upon the new Great Register.
On the 10Th of February the Board of
supervisors passed the following resolutions
WHEREAS The present Great Register of the
county Of Sacramento having been in use for
SIX years AND several thousand names having
accumulated thereon which, owing to deaths
and removals and other causes do not represent
quallhed electors, 1t is hereby declared neces-
tSry that there should be re- registration of the
elrtorS of said county therefore be it
,csotpod, That on the lst day of March 1888
the County Clerk of Sacramento county procure
q new BOOK or books for the registration of the
electors OF Sacramento county, TO be known as
the Great Register of the county of Sacramento.
IN which must be registered the names of all
the qualified electors of said county in the
manner required by Chapter 8, of Article s of
Title of the Political Code, relating to the reg
istration of electors.

ramento Daily Bee, newspapers published in the
county of Sacramento, for not less than six
months preceding the LIST day of October, 1885
Notice was given of motion to recon-
slider the vote adopting the resolution. The
motion was made on the 9th of March and
defeated, consequently names were placed
upon the old Great Register up to that
date

Direct from England.

The advent of spring requires a change
OF wearing apparel-winter garments are
thrown aside for those adapted 10 spring
and summer wear In ordering a suit to
be made it is always persons first desire
to know where he can secure the best value
for his money, and at the same time secure
perfect fit, for nothing so displeases
man as an ill-ftting suit of clothes. An
derson e. Johnson's merchant tailoring es-
Enlistment, 1014 Seventh street, between
and K, has been the center of attraction
for the last few days. The direct importa-
tons from England by the firm. of goods
for gents dress and business suits for the
coming season excels any attempt ever be-
fore made in this city The prevailing
styles are stripes and plaids, and for beauty
of design, quality of fabric, excellence of
finish, surpasses anything ever imported
from abroad. The most important consid-
Grafton in the makeup of a suit is to have
1t made properly, made to fit. Messrs.
Anderson and Johnson are artists of long
years Impractical experience in their bus
mess, and have no equals on this coast
Only the best of workmen are employed.
A perfect fit and stylish cut always guar
anteed.

I he goods, hot house
plants, displays. ETC., for the
opening will continue in place
to-day, the same as yester-
day and the day previous.
There is no question but
that the opening is a success.
An important one.
The large number of i'm
ported Bonnets helps it much.
There is no discounting the
taste of the French. They
have a deft way of putting
this and that together so as to
secure the best possible effects.
They show their national tenn
permanent in their dress.
Bright, fresh, original. So
French millinery is always in
teresting, and, for the ideas it
setstorth, generallyinstructive.
Because French millinery is
at top, it is the standard. We
can't, in our home work, hope
to go above it. We are much
above the average if we place
ourselves on an equal footing.
We think we have. In the
opening the hats and bonnets
from our work-rooms are
placed side by side with those
from over the sea, and but for
the larger-priced tickets on
the foreign work, we hatter
ourselves that it is not always
easy for visitors to tell the one
from the other.
HI of 7ohieh emphasizes
tile fact that 0zr factlities for
turning out millinery z0ork
Of any kind are Of a high
and exceptional order.

Literature for Prisoners.

To supply the long felt want of reading
matter among the prisoners at Folsom, the
Secretary of State has had printed and sent
to the prison authorities for circulation
among their charges, a number of selec-
tions from standard authors compiled BY
the late moral instructor of Folsom, James
Cauley. The whole makes an octave
pamphlet of so pages, and in Typography
aid get-up is credit to the State Printing
Office, from whence it emanates. AS to the
contents, though they are for the most part
unobJechonable, many would be of opin-
ion thst wiser use might have been made
OF the space that some of the selections
take up. The cuttings from Mr. Smiles are
admirable, but less so the samples from
Chesterfield and De Quincy. Dilettante
essays on good breeding and refinement
may be well enough, but any amount of
bad manners will be excused the convict if
ne will only be honest and iaw-abiding. 1t
IS the sterner virtues which prisoners need
TO be imbued with, not those of which a
Philip Dormer Stanhope was tie polished
but heartless exponent. The hackneyed
quotation from De Quincy on the pleas
ures and pains of opium eating might have
been with advantage omitted, for it is not
altogether healthy reading even for those
who have never shown disposition to con-
tract the vice. Horatio Seymour's address
is deservedly given place in these selec-
tons which, with the exception of the OBJ
jectionable sandwiching from Chesterfield
and De Quincy sbove noted, are good.

Metropolitan Theater.

Haverly's New American Mastodon Min
strels are to appear next Wednesday for a
short season. The troupe has been here
once or twice. 1t is accredited now as far
better than ever. 1t was then the largest
and best minstrel troupe ever in Sacra-
mento. 1t has sextet of comedians and
end-men not surpassed anywhere and, in
addition to dancing marvels. banjo nota-
bilities and the acrobatic Herbert MoreIl
troupe, the Human Enigma" Hilton.
All the press notices warmly indorse the
troupe as in all respects the completest
" on the road, and as being as nearly per-
feet as it is possible to attain. The Omaha
Herald, for instance, says:
Last night Boyds Opera House was
packed to overlooking with an audience
that represented the wealth and culture of
Omaha, to witness the best minstrel per-
formance ever given in the city. To make
such a declaration in relation to a purely
American feature of the world s amusement
after the institution has had nearly half a
century of continuous popularity, would
seem impossible 10 be well founded. This
statement is true, however and the distinc-
ton was easily won by Haverley's Min
strels"

The Damon Inquest.

Coroner Frank Clark held an inquest last
night on the body of A. G. Damon, who
was found dying in the alley between L
and NJ, Second and Third streets, on Tues
day night. DR.. Baldwin, J. T. Barron, Off
GERS Franks and Ash, Captain Karcher,
Mrs. Kate Cooper and boy named Fred.
Butler, gave evidence, but nothing was de-
veloped except what has already been pub
lished in these columns.
The jury was composed of the following
named citizens: c. P. Evans, Thos. Har-
per, Joseph Hopley, A. II. Shirley, A. NJ
Smith, Thos. Kirkpatrick, ]. A Fields, NJ.
Graf, P. A. Miller, John Gruhler, II. H.
Nielsen and August Tillman. After hear
ing all the evidence the jury found that the
deceased was A. G. Damon that he was
about 55years of age and that he came to
his death from causes to the jury unknown.
Captain KaIcter and officers Franks and
Ash are still working hard to clear up the
mystery surrounding this mans death.
They have secured enough evidence to
warran. them in retaining Manuel Strauss
and Mrs Kate Cooper in custody, though
not enough TO bring in a complaint against
them. They are satisfied that Damon was
drUgged and robbed. and that he was car
ried to the place where he was found, but
where or by whom ne was doped" is still
matter of uncertainty.
