READY FOR THE FRAY

The Democratic Headquarters Formally
 Opened Last Evening-The Committee
 Registrar and Deputies Busy.
 The democratic headquarters were opened under suspicious circumstances in the Lilley block, last night A large num- Der of prominent democrats, including Mayor Kilduff, were in attendance and, judging by the response made to the invi- tations sent out, there is more hope for united action among the different elements in the party this year than there has been for some years past. It is plain to all that the democrats have not been fairly dealt with in the charter matter, and if the voters should keep this in mind until after election there will be some people sur prlsed at the result.
 Registrar Henry Flanagan and the following deputies are at work on the vot- ing lists: First ward, Florence Keenan, 40 William street; second ward, John 0. But Ter, 237 Bishop street; third ward, Nicholas J. McEvoy, 26 Railroad Hill street; fourth ward, John 0. Altman, 51 Fuller street; fifth ward, M. A. Wallace, 394 River street. M. F. Parkinson, 63 Ridge street, has charge of the women's voting list ln the five wards. Voters who have changed their residence since last election should | report at once to either the registrar or oae of his deputies
 Last evening Chairman w. H. Collins was busy arranging plans for the election | and from present appearances he appears to be an active, live man, fully equal to the requirements of the important position | with which he has been intrusted.

 The work of putting in the elevator at the Odd Fellows new building is progress ing so painfully slow that the general con-
 mittee is fearful lest the dedication cere- monies. which have been announced for | October 15 will have to be postponed until later date. The job is being done by the Springfield Elevator company, and the
 committee is highly indignant at the dila-
 tory mauner in which the work is being
 done, so much so that if the contract was
 to be awarded again there would not be
 much danger of it gting to this company. One of the members of the committee in-
 formed reporter of the DEMOCRAT to-day
 that it looks as though the work was being
 delayed out of pure cussedness to hamper
 the organization in its arrangements for l the dedication day.

The Sleeve Growing Smaller.

Gowns seen at midsummer social functions ill Paris indicate coming change ill sleeves, yet it is by no means prophesied that the large sleeve will be entirely displaced. There are, however, always few women who desire to be unlike the multitude, and who are eager for novelty, and nothing could attract all eyes now more than to see a woman in tightly fitting sleeves. Those worn are relieved by ruff1es falling from the shoulders and by puffs and ruffles at the elbows. This may be looked upon as the first breath of a change which will bring about pleasant modification in the size of sleeves. That is all we want, for the large sleeves are universally be- coming and extremely picturesque, and it is only their vulgar aggrandizement which people of taste condemn.

DECISION SATURDAY.
What Vicar General Mulcahy and Rev
 Father Slocum Have to Say.

What Vicar General Mulcahy and Rev
 Father Slocum Have to Say.
 Vicar General Mulcahy was in Hartford yesterday and had conference with Bishop Tierney. Later in the day he re- turned to Waterbury and said that the bishop would announce the successor of Father Hughes as rector of St Patrick's church on Saturday.
 Although the vicar-general declined to say who the man would be, it seemed prob able from his conversation that he was the choice of the bishop. Father Mulcahy said that the bishop expressed the wish that the vicar general live in Hartford so as to be near him and from this it is inferred that Father Mulcahy will be appointed pastor of St Patrick's. The vicar general said that he would regret leaving his parish in Waterbury.
 A dispatch from South Norwalk says: Contrary to published statements the Rev William J. Slocum, pastor of St Mary's Roman Cathollc church, will not be called by Bishop Tierney to take charge of the Hartford diocese to take charge of St Pat, rick's church, Hartford, vice the Rev James Hughes. deceased. Regarding the proba- ble successor 10 Father Hughes as rector of St Patrick's church, the choice has seemed to lie between Vicar General Mulcahy and Father Slocum. but the latter does not want to leave Norwalk.

NOT YET SIGNED.
wnr John E. DOollttle & Co of Nev

wnI John E. DoOlittle & Co of New
 Haven Forfeit Their Bond. :9.
 City Clerk Grady has not yet been noti- fled that John E. Doolittle < Go of New Haven have signed the contract to clean the basin of the reservoir at the Branch. In fact it is almost a certainty that they have not done so. They wrote to Clerk Grady stating that they would ex- ecute their part in the middle of the week. The Ave days limit allowed them was up Sunday night.
 The question now arises do not they forfeit the check they put up as security just the same as Contractor Mo- Manus forfeited his $500 check? In the latter case the next lowest bidder did not stand ready to take the contract, but an- other meeting of the committee was called and bids were advertised for again.
 In this case the next lowest bidders are Severy & Pinney. whose bid was $9, $50. They stand ready to sign the con- tract and begin ths work.
 At any rate Doolittle < Go have really forfeited their money unless the committee see fit to give them an extension of time.

The Axerape Woman.

Some one has suggested that copy of the statue of the average woman" recently exhibited ill Boston should be placed in every girls school in this country in the hope that it will serve as a much needed object lesson. The statue is the result of 5000 measure ments taken by Dr. Sargent of Harvard from young girls. The result is figure at least "5O per cent removed from a perfect type," showing conclusively the crying need of physical culture for American women. The statue of the leverage man" obtained in the same way is much more nearly perfect figure.
