VIII the Republican organization Of New-York
decide to indorse and support the Citizens
Unions nomination of Seth Low for Mayor Il
the Greater New-York? That was the principal
question which politicians were discussing yes
terday. The impression prevailed in many
quarters that public sentiment was taking the
side of Mr.. Low. A good many days will in
tervene before September d. which has been
fixed for the holding Of the Republican and
other anti-Tammany conventions. The senti-
ment already well defined in favor Of Mr. Low,
1t was believed, would grow and when the
time arrived for deciding upon a definite course
the local leaders of the Republican organiza-
ton would realize that they could not safely
put separate ticket in the field
Mr.. Low apparently has determined TO be In
no great haste about sending his reply to the
CtlZens Union. Up to late hour last night no
answer had been received from him. Some OF
MS friends thought that he might take several
Gays FOR considering the nomination.
THE LETTER OF NOTIFICATION
Copies Of the letter which the leaders OF the
Cltlzens Union signed and sent by special mes
senger to NJ. Low on Wednesday rendering
TO him the nomination for Mayor Of the Greater
New-fork, were given to the press last evening
at the headquarters. No. 80 East Twenty
thrd-st 1t was supposed that the letter had
been placed in Mr. Lows hands at Northeast
Harbor, Me-, by John c. Clark, the secretary
OF the Citizens Union, who was acting as the
messenger of the Nominating Committee but
no telegram had been received from Mr. Clark
at late hour by James b. Reynolds, the chair
man Of the Executive Committee who vas
waiting at the headquarters. Following is tho
letter of nomination from the Join. Committee:

for the priesthood in his native town
and in Belgium he came to the United
States and finished his education in ST..
Mary's seminary, Baltimore. He was
ordained in 1865.
For five years the young priest was
engaged in missionary work in western
Maryland. Then he accompanied Arch
bishop Spalding to the Vatican council
as his secretary and on his return was
appointed pastor of St. Joseph s church,
Baltimore. For l2 years he filled this
pulpit and made his mark as brilliant
and popular preacher. Then, in 1882,
he was given the rectorship of the fash
ionable St. Matthew's church at Wash
ington.
In 1891 he was appointed coadjutor
of the venerable Archbishop Salpointe
Of Santa Fc. The latter resigned on ac-
count of old age in 1894, and Arch.
bishop Chapelle succeeded him. This
position he has held ever since He was
one Of the seven theologians who pre-.
pared the work for the plenary council

His Final Call.


There is certain young man in this
city belonging to the -Four Hundred

lady of his set any more, and the great

the trouble. The young man and three
companions, in their efforts to add to
their fund Of worldly knowledge, at
tended one of the dances where the do
mestic help is wont to congrcgate Oh
Saturday nights, and they had very
delightful time. The young man in
question paid marked attention to a
petite young lady, but pleaded a previ.
GUS engagement when the time to escort
the young ladies home arrived. The
other evening, in glancing over his list
OF engagements, he discovered that it
was about time to return party call
due young lady and started out to full.
fill his engagement. He arrived at the
house and rang the bell. The door was
opened Ly the maid, who looked at the
young man ior Il minute and then said !:
Good gracious You must not come
to the front door to see me. The help
must receive their company at the back
door.
1t was the petite young lady Of the
servants ball, and the young man fell
off the steps in his hurry to leave, and
this Is the reason why a certain young
man calls no more on a certain young
lady. Minneapolis Tribune.

of Il person with a perfect figure should

hand when the arms are fully extended.
Ten times the length Of the hand or
seven and Il half times the length Of the
foot or five times the diameter of the
ch, st from one arlnpit to the other

body. The distance of the junction of
the Thighs to the ground should he eX-
actly the same as from that point to the
crown of the head. The knee should be
exactly midway between the first named
point and the ground at the heel. Tho
distance from tie elbow to the tip of the

When the Worlds fair spread the
fever Of organization among the women
Of Chicago and woman's clubs sprang
up throughout the city as thick as BIZ
cycles on an asphalt boulevard on June
evening, the lack of feminine knowledge
concerning the ordinary rules of proceed
ure and debate became painfully evil

the ordinary sewing circle method of all
talking at once would not serve when
business was to be transacted They
knew that men did things differently,
but just how they went about it not
one woman in a hundred had the faint

Then came to the front Mrs. Julia B.
Shattuck and rescued them from the d.
lemma. She was a member Of the Chi
cago Woman's club, Of the Archie club
and Of the South Side Wolnan's club,
and it was not long before the other
members of those organizations found
out that she knew all about parliament
tary proceedings. She knew how to ad-
dress the chair, how to put motion
properly and lot Of other mysteries
Her sister club members clamored for
her to teach them the rules of debate

bic cloth gowns, made very elaborate

guimpes with sleeves. Light gray, tan
and soft, gray green cloth We're very
popular In this connection a writer in
The Sun says: 1t is evident that black
cloth is to be very much worn by both
matrons and maidens, and it is made
very youthful by innumerable satin
bands on the skirt and low cut blouse
bodice with guimpe and sleeves of jew.
eled cream lace.
In general the new gowns are very
light in effect as we'll as in weight, and
the close sleeves and clinging skirts
have perceptibly diminished the size of
the fashionable woman since last year.
Round waists are the rule thus far
among the latest gowns, despite all the
little basque frills which appear in the
fashion books. Pretty devices for the
trimming of round bodices are illus.
trated by the authority quoted and in.
clude the popular lattice design.
Trimmed skirts seem to be gaining
favor rapidly. The plain skirts are, how

which burns kerosene as fuel. Both ar
connected with the propeller shaft b.
friction clutches and may be used inde
pcndcntly or jointly. The hot air engine
is for Use on the surface and for recharg
ing the storage battery. With the cell:
charged the inventor calculates that he
can run under water for ten hours al
| the rate of ten miles an hour On the
surface he can make l. miles an hOul
with decks awash and using only the
hot air engine. This is much better
performance than other submarine boats
have achieved. The kerosene tank has a
capacity Of two barrels, which allows
the craft to make voyage of two days
and a half without replenishing the
fuel. The propeller is a two bladed af-
fair which can be run at an average of
500 revolutions minute.
The principle by which the boat is
steercd, sunk and raised is a secret
which Mr.. RaddatZ will not divulge.
In managing the boat he sits in the
front tulret. Before him is the steering
wheel, and about him are numerous
buttons, switches and indicators He
denies that he uses lateral fins Or rud.
dcrs or that he guides the boat upward
or downward by forcing water in or out
of a chamber. Men who have been down
with him say that not only is he able to
raise OF lower the boat at will, but that
he can run it under water on ii level

is another Of Mr.. Raddatz's secrets, but
maintain it he does. In general way
he says he accompliShes it by a renewal
of the oxygen by chemical action and an
absorption Of the carbonic acid gas by

not been announced, but it is believed
that it will be used in raising wrecks,
