The death of Mrt. Itobeit Hatton occiined lht cunli.j at the family caldcnca en North AT FIRST GLANCE, It Would Appear That Local Rem edies Would Be Best for Cure of Catarrh. It would seem at fiist glunce that catanh being a disease of the mu cous nicmbnina; that salves, sptass, etc., being applied directly to tho membranes of tho nose and tin oat, would bo the most rational treatment but this has been pioven not to bo true. The mucous, mciubiano Is made and tepalted from tho blood and catairh Is a blood dleaso and any remedy to niako u permanent cuio must act on the blood, and when the blood Is purl lleil from catanhal polron, the secre tions f i oin the mucous membinne will become natural and healthy. In this climate, thousands of people secni scntcely over fiee fiom Fonio foim of catarrh; It gets bolter at times but each winter becomes giadually deeper seated and nft'r a time tho sufleier resigns himself to It us a nocossaiy evil. Catairh cities aie aliniist as numer ous as catarrh sttffcieis, but aie nearly all so Inconvenient and Ineffective us to render their use a nuisance neatly as annovlng as catarrh Itself: anyone who has used douches, sprays and powders will bear witness to their In convenience nnd fnlluic to really cuie. Theie aie a number of excellent in ternal lemcdies for eatanh, but prob ably tho best and cettalnly the safest l a new lemedy, composed of Kuoaly ptol, Hydtastls, Sangulnailn ami other valuable catairh speclilcs. This remedy Is In tablet foim, pleas ant to tho tasto and sold by druggists under the name of Stuait's Catairh Tablet, und anyone hiifferlng fiom catanh may use these tablets with absolute Hssuranro that they contain no cocaine, opiate nor any pol-oiiou- niinnt.it whatever. A leading diugglst In Albany peaU Ing of catanh cuies bays'. "I hav sold various catanh cuics for yeais, but have never sold any which gavo such general satisfaction as Stuait'a Catanh Tablets. They contain In a pleasant, concentrated form all the 1" st ami latest catarrh remedies, nnd catanh sufierers who have used douches, sprays and salves, have been astonished at the quick relief and per manent results obtained after n week's use of Stuart's Catanh Tablets."

Theie was a hearing before Deputy Iteglster of Wills Koehlor yesterday lr. the matter of the objections to the Pio- batins of the will of tho late Chariest W. Ilocsler, for many yeais aldeim.in of the Ulghth vvnid, who died last week at the home of Mr. and Mis. John Osberry, nt 223 riaiiklln avenue.

Coopei, one of the bene ficiaries of the (Will, was next called, but his testimony was objected to on the ground that beluga bcneilclar), he was Incompetent to testlfv. The leglster ruled that any testi mony which would tluovv any light on the mental condition of lloesler would be admitted. Mr. Cooper testllled that to the best of his belief. Aldeim.in Hoesler was In sound mind when the; will was diavvn up The cam for tlm will was here dosed, with the nuclei -standing that Di- Hull, who attended lloeshr in his Inst Illness, could be called later.

Dunncll had known Hoes ler for twenty-five or thirty years, and had often attended hlni as a physician. He said that his mind had been fall ing ever since he way defeated for tho oilice of alderman of the Ulghth ward. His mind was weak for the past four yeais and during that time hewas unfit to do business, said the doctor. The weakness could be traced to a de generation of the nervous s)stem caused by old ago and Its tendency would be to inctease rather than im prove. During the last two yeais he was not fit to make a will. The doc tor failed to recognize the slgnatuie. Fred Dutr, the neM witness, h.ul known Alderman P.oesler since 1S0.
