Esopus, N. T., July 2S.-.Parker has fixed August 10 as the date for notify ing him of hIs nominatton for Presl- dent. The Judge reached this decision after a long conference with William F. Sheehan yesterday. and a telegram was at once sent Champ Clark or Mis- souri, chairman of the committee nam ed by the Democratic Convention to notify the nominee for President. Representative Clark Is expected to call a meeting of his committee proD- ably to be held in New York. and ne also may come to Rosemount to talk over the arrangements with Judge Far ker, although no plan for such con- ference has yet been made.
 Simple Ceremonies. The program for the ceremonies at Rosemount August 10 will follow pre- cadents in similar events. It Is known that Judge Parker Is particularly im- nressed with the simplicity of the cere- monies which took place on the occa- sion of President Lincoln's second nom ination and also when Judge Thurman was informed of his nomination TOT Vice-President. The speeches po.r times were marked because Of their brevity. when President Cleveland was noti- fed in 1888, he made long speech ana the ceremonies were far more formai than any other which nave oeen brought to the attention or those who are arranging details of the Rosemouh. ceremonies. It Is the plan now 10 nave the notification follow closely the iorih | of the earlier ceremonies.
 Speech Will Re Brief. 1t ,s not expected that Judge Par key will talk at length, nor that ne will discuss intimately any or the campaign issues, but will leave this to the letter of acceptance which Will be issued a week or so later. , A letter giving great satisfaction a' Rosemount has been receiveu py 'uuSe | Parker from Carl Schurz. It is as fol- | lows:
 .'Bolton Landing, Lake George. July | 11th. 1904.
 l ~my Dear Sir. Not as a party n1aa, but as an independent, l feel bound l to express to you my sincere respect | The principles and opinions you are known to hold as to the currency. inn perialism the tariff and the civil ser vice, strongly commend themselves 10 l men of my way of thinking. But 1T as an independent, I ever was doubt ing for what candidate my duty com l manded me to vote, your action on the terms of your nomination has com pletely solved that doubt.
 | Schurx's High Tribute.
 Tt has rendered to the Republic l double service of incalculable value. No man can honestly deny that 1t has | demolished the last pretense for still treating the gold question as a live | issue of party controversy, and that it l has thus relieved the business com munity of an element of peculiarly un- healthy agitation and dangerous un- certainty. This is so evident that any attempt to continue that agitation ar tificially for mere party advantage, must be condemned by every good cit izen as absolutely wicked, indeed, as little less than criminal
 And. secondly, your manly declar- ation that you would accept the of fered nomination for tsS preSidency | only if the offer came in harmony with your sense of public duty. has set up before the American people one of those noble standards of moral courage and civic virtue of which our public life stands so much in need.
 The Captain of His Fate.
 The higher you lift that standard, the higher you will rise in the esteem and the more surely they will hold you | worthy of their highest trust. l Wishing you all the success you so well deserve. I am
 sincerely yours.
 70. Schurz."
 A pair of Tennessee twins are to bear names of the Democratic candi- dates family Homer Parker. of l Taxson, Tenn. who believes himself to be distantly related to Judge Parker. in announcing the birth of twins, has l written to Rosemount as follows:
 My Very Dear Sir-Myself and wife have twins born to us on the 18th, a boy and girl. The boys name Is All ton B. Parker Please give us the name of your wife or daughter as we want to christen the girl the same. Thanking you in advance. I remain.
 Respectfully and probably distant
 relation, Homer Parker"
 Parker's Resignation.
 Judge Parker today addressed letters to some of his associates In the New York Court of Appeals, seeking their advice on his resignation. It may be said on competent authority that Judge Parker has not determined what his action will be in relation to severing his connection with the bench, and in fact it has not been settled that he
 will resign at all.
 l No word has come to Rosemount to-
 day which throws any light on the
 Democratic national chairmanship
 The impression prevails that Thomas
 Thaggart of Indiana will be elected
 but it said that neither Judge Parker
 nor William R. Sheehan will endeavor
 to influence the national committed
 when 1t meets next Tuesday The
 selection rests with the committee and | with Senator German.
 In contradiction of the story that nc overtures have been made to Judge Parker. with a view to bringing about closer relations between the candidate
 for President and Tammany Hall. il
 was learned today that Edward & Rap palo of New York, wrote to Judge Par ker July 12 inviting him to take din
 ner with Tammany Hall men at taC } New York Democratic Club. No time was named for the dinner but Judge Parker was urged to set date prlol } to accepting invitations to any othel l formal dinner. MT. Rappalo reported to Judge Parker that he had been com
 missioned by Charles F. Murphy, J. l Sargent Cram and Mayor Mcclellan to } tender the invitation. He suggested
 that the dinner be of private nature
