Mayor Low an Early Visitor-The
 Catholic Chapel Most Attractive.
 New York, Dec 18.-The new Tombs prison was formally opened yesterday and more than 5000 persons visited the big jail, although only 2,0O0 invi- tations had been sent out. City offic- ials and politicians who had been in vited brought friends with them. Among the callers were Mayor Low, Borough President Cantor, Lispenard Stewart Sheriff Dike Of Brooklyn and many of the supreme court justices The board of aldermen and the grand jury called in a body.
 The mayor was an early visitor. He arrived at 1O:3O o'clock in his automo- bile and was taken up seven flights of stairs and down again Not content with that, he visited the boiler and en- zine room. To do this he had to walk a 15-inch plank over part of the base ment, which was uncompleted. While looking at the dynamos he was intro |duced to Messrs Horgan and Slattery. the Tammany architects, who drew part of the plans for the interior of the building.
 The most attractive part of the building was the Catholic chapel on the third floor. Mrs c. Stanton Floyd Jones gave the altar and Mrs Iselin, Mrs Thomas F. Ryan, Miss Mary Howell, Mrs John c. OKeefe, Mrs B. D. Clark and Mrs J. Henry Haggerty were among the others who helped to furnish the chapel. It was filled yes terday with fA-vers sent by the prison branch of the Associated Catholic Charities.
 All the visitors yesterday were re- ceived at the door by Warden Van de Carr and Commissioner of Correction Hynes. A great many women were present.
