New York store Bonnets.

The annual spring opening of the MilIi-
merry Department of the New York Store
occurred yesterday. The department was
crowded with ladies, so that passing was
difficult, and the beautiful bonnets and hats
won general admiration. Never. has SO
unique and picturesque a collection of head
wear been seen in this city. The Napo-
leonic revival is seen in the shapes, both
in straws and laces. Accordion pleated
chiffon. plain and with the satin and filter
edge made into rosettes, adorns both bon
nets and hats. Flowers are in special
favor. A round hat with ponapoms of roses
at eacn side had falls of broad white lace
each side of the hair. To be worn with this
there was a collar of roses, lace and ribbon
to match. The flower and lace collars to
match the hat trimming is the particular
fancy of the season. Broad Panama hats
rather of the masculine order are extremely
English and intensely stylish. Very large
jet effects, combined with the finest of
laces. are a decided novelty. Very small
bonnets worn on the back of the head vie
with the picture hats. The line of both
is bewildering. One hat has almost q fan
of black ostrich feathers for the back. set
in a velvet bow. The front is a triple brown
velvet bow. The trimming is effective from
any position. The owers, especially blue
and yellow forget-ne-nots, are to be worn
largely. The pattern honnets. as well as

Secretary Owen, Auditor Daily and At
torney-general Ketcham yesterday held a
meeting as a prisons appointing board, but

cided to await until his return before the
directors are chosen. Encouragement
Ketcham held a conference with attorneys
Menzies and Wilson, who appear for the
Governor in the appointing power litigation,
and learned that the Governor would not
take any steps to prevent the appointing
of the prison directors south. 1t had been
the intention to withhold these appoint
ments until the decision in the Northern
prison was handed down, but it has been
decided to adopt another course. Suit will
be brought at once for possession against
the warden of the northern prison. The
board appointed by Governor Matthews is
in possession. H. A. Root, 2. 'sstalwart Re
publican" according to the testimony of
the Governor, has accepted the appoint
ment and has received his commission. NJ.

carried the official bonds to the Auditor
of State yesterday, but Mr.. Daily refused
to receive them.
Mr.. Darnell, the Governors Republican
appointment to the southern prison, has
also accepted, and has offered his bond,
which was refused.

II have been troubled with catarrh for
many years." said General Catlin. II doc
tored for 1t a great deal, but did not obtain
any material relief, and this winter my con-
dition was terrible. / took cold easily. and
my nose became stopped up. I had severe
pains across the front of my head, my eyes
became watery, / sneezed a great deal, and
my bones and joints ached continually.
When ! got up in the morning my throat
was filled with a nasty slime, which dropped
there during the night. / had TO hawk a
great deal, and this made me gag and often
vomit. There was a roaring or buzzing
sound in my ears, and my breath was very
offensive. 1 lost my appetite. ran down in
weight and became depressed in spirits.
II tried thoroughly several of the best
physicians. so-called. in New York, took pat-
ent nostrums of all descriptions, but grew
worse ali the time.
Finally L began Munyon's Catarrh Rem
edies. 1 thought it was no use, and had but
little faith, but 1 began to improve right
away. My disease rapidly yielded to the
remedy, and 1 underwent a change that
was wonderful. Within a short time was
entirely cured. the last trace of the hideous
disease had vanished, and to-day my friends
are maryeling at the great change in me.
1t is a wonderful relief to feel strong and
healthy again, and it gives me great pleas
ure to testify that my restoration to health
is due to Munyon's Catarrh Remedy"

account of his loyalty to the Union. He
came to this State, but returned to Ken
lucky after the war, and remained until
twelve years ago, when he came to. this
city. During the Morgan guerilla raid he
there he was captured near CoVington, KY,
by soldiers who believed him to be Morgan
in disguise. He was taken to Covington,
where his identity was dicovered and he
was released.
He joined the Masonic fraternity in 1858,
and was soon made a Master Mason. At
the time of his death he was a member of
Logan Lodge, of this city. He was a cousin
of Lincoln's law partner, William Hern-
don, of Springfield, Ill. Three children sur
vive him-Mrs. Matte Connolly and Mrs.
w. NJ. Fletcher, of this city, and j. p.
