Dr. Eaten was a lovable man, with strong social qualities, and large audiences were always attracted by his preaching. He was born in Beverly in 1852, and was therefore just 50 old at the time of his death. He was graduated from Tufts College and also from the divinity school of that institution. He was ordained to the ministry at Palmer.

in 1S77 and was called to the Church of the Divine Paternity in 1881. In 18t5 he married a niece of the late George M. Pullman. Dr. Eaton leaves a widow, a son and daughter.

Months of hard work by Conductor Frank Damrosch and the chorus of the People's Choral Union of New York culminated last evening in the presentation of Handel's ora torio, "Israel in Egypt," at Carnegie Hall.

The work is one that Is seldom given, either here or abroad, and the reason is not far to seek. "Israel in Egypt" undoubtedly requires the uttermost endeavors of chorus, conductor and musicians alike, and from the culture training standpoint is admirable. Unlimited repetition of heavy passages, however, rob it of any magnetism which it might otherwise hold for the music lover of average intelligence. The chorus. last evening was swelled to 1,000 voices from the union.

The big stage of Carnegie Hail, enlarged to more than double its usual capacity, could hardly hold the army of singers efforts showed the effects of diligent study and hard work. Damrosch handled his charges splendidly. The solo parts were carries by Mrs. Hissem De Moss, soprano; Mrs. Hamlen Ruland, contralto; Ellison Van Hoose, tenor: Joseph Baernstein, basso, and Dr.

Carl Dufft, basso. Frank L. Sealy was the organist. These artists all acquitted themselves with credit, the work of Mrs. Ruland, Dr.

Dufft and Ellison Van Hoose being worthy of especial mention. The oratorio marked the end of the tenth season of the People's Singing Classes. ADDITION TO ORPHANAGE. College Point, L. April 15 The addition to the Bethlehem Orphanage, at College Point, which was recently completed, was dedicated Sunday with appropriate exercises and in the presence of a large number of friends of the institution.

The dedicatory exercises were conducted by the Rev. J. G. Sleker, pastor of St. Matthew's Church in Manhattan.

The various Protestant congregations of Manhattan, Brooklyn and vicinity, who contributed toward tho support of this worthy institution, were represented aud took part in the exercises. The new building will accommodate about fifty more children, who, through their guardians have applied for admission. NEW YORK NUT COMPANY. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, April 15 Arthur T. Harlow and Leslie H.

Harlow of Brooklyn are director of the New York Nut Company, incorporated with th Secretary of State, with 1 of $50,000. mi i i i 1 is SOME EMPLOYERS GIVE IN. Men Want $4 Per Day Instead of $3.75 and 52 Saturday Half Holidays a Year. WOULD MAKE. LESS THAN NOW, But Would Have More Rest, and Master Plumbers Would Lose More Other Strikes in Brooklyn.

The strike of the journeyman plumbers, was ordered yesterday to secure the payment of $4 a day in the future, with a half holiday on Saturday throughout the year, is still on. The strikers have gained in the first skirmish, and it is likely that the meeting of the Master Plumbers' Association to night will vote in favor of acceding to the demands of the men. Some of the prominent plumbers who to day granted those demands are: James Keenan of 948 Fulton street; James Harley ot Flatbush avenue; Robert Clark of Sheepshead Bay; John Chusti of Reid avenue, near Quincy street; William J. Lewis of Fulton street and Lafayette avenue; Jake Manneschmidt of Myrtle avenue, near Throop; Cranford Brothers, Flatbush avenue, near Park place; C. O'Koefe Son of 176 Fifth avenue, and John Gannon of 406 Bridge street.

The, strikers are confident of success, and expect an early ending of the trouble. They say, however, that they are prepared to fight the Master Plumbers' Association for an indefinite period, having behind them the United Association of Plumbers, with a membership of 33,000. The Master Plumbers' Association some months ago received notification from the Journeyman Plumbers' Association that the latter would order a strike on April 1 if their demands were not complied with. A conference committee was appointed and frequent interviews were had between this committee and a like body named by the journeymen's organization. The day named passed without a satisfactory settlement between the parties, and on Friday night a strike was determined on and notice given.

The men ceased work yesterday. In former years it was the eustom of the Master Plumbers' Association and the Journeymen Plumbers' Association to mutually agree on the terms of payment and hours of labor during the ensuing year. For some reason or other no such agreement was entered into this year. Provisions were made in the agreements that union plumbers should work for no boss plumbers who were not members of the association, while on the other hand the latter agreed to employ none but union help. Now the union has decided to remove the bars and permit union men to work for whom they please, provided their employers will sign the agreement.

This is the first break in the friendly relations of the two associations in nineteen years. This strike' will work hardship on all plumbers, but principally on those who do new work, such as sanitary plumbing in new buildings. But in view of the fact that many of these have already given in, it is expected that the strike will soon end. A member of the Master Plumbers' Association was seen to day by an Eagle reporter, but he refused to allow the use of his name. He said: "The men want a half holiday during the entire year, and for wages 54 a day.

We granted them $3.75 a day last year, together with a half holiday during June, July, August and September, and now they increase their demands on both ends. They might as well ask for Saturday off altogether. A plumber can do but little work in a half and If he starts a Job on Saturday morning and leaves at 12, often the job is so little advanced that we cannot demand payment from our customer for that time. But despite that fact, we will have to pay the men their In other words, we lose $2 for the half day. No matter how you figure it we lose money on labor.

There are many plumbers in this town who do not employ union men, but get others at lower wages. To compete with these men with their cheaper labor reduces our profits considerably. As it Is, we pay our plumbers $22.50 a week, and when you count this up for several men for a whole year you will find it makes a neat little sum. And if this new burden is added our profits will be still further lessened. You might as well give the men the whole of Saturday off as the half of It." The journeymen plumbers point out that while at present they are receiving $3.75 for an eight hour day.

making their weekly wages $22.50. they will, if their demands are complied with, receive but $22 for the week, a loss from the present wage of 50 cents per week. On the other hand, the master plumbers contend that while the men lose but 50 cents, they lose $2, inasmuch as so little work can be done on a Saturday morning that they themselves cannot charge their customers for such time. Moreover, if an emergency occurs making Saturday afternoon work necessary, the men are entitled to double wages, or $4 for four hours. Other Strikes.

The employes of Edwin C. Burt shoe factory are still out. Their committee had a conference yesterday afternoon with Manager Terhune. The interview lasted for over two hours, yet no satisfaotory result was reached. The factory is doing little or no work.

The strike at Herzog Erbe's book bindery still continues. Everything is quiet about the place, and but three pickets are being maintained by the strikers. Mr. Herzog said: "The situation is practically the same as yesterday. We have not heard from the men.

We are turning out our work as if no strike was in progress at all, and have all the help we, need." The American Tin Can Company strike is ended. The company gave In to the demands of the men yesterday afternoon, and this morning every man was at his place. MISS SCHERGER'S SOCIAL. Miss Helen Scherger entertained her friends with a social on Saturday evening at her home, 672 Park avenue. Singing and dancing were the features of the evening.

RAYMOND'S LECTURE. Dr. Rossiter W. Raymond, whose lectures on the early Christian era have attracted large audiences to Plymouth Church every Monday night, continued the series last night with a talk upon the theology of the ApostU Paul. He spoke of the characteristics of Paul, of his prophetic visions and of his ability as a pastor and said that in the early history of all religions it was the pastors who established the doctrines of theology.

Next Monday night Dr. Raymond will take up Paul's doctrine of predestination for discusssioa TO ANALYZE SEA SOAKED TEA. Freeport, L.

SOLEMN PROMISE OF THE CITY. There Should Ee No Delay After July 1.

What It Means if Project Is Put Off Any Longer. Of all matters now before the Board of Estimate, the bond issue of $8,000,000 for the East River tunnel to Brooklyn is being watched with the most interest here. Starting from a point in the Manhattan subway, not far from Wall street, the East River tunnel will provide a means of entrance to Brooklyn, indispensable in consideration of the latter's suburban growth andthe constantly growing difficulty of interborough transit. Countless demands are being made upon the Board of Estimate in behalf of various municipal interest, but it is recognized in Brooklyn, if not generally in Manhattan, that the prompt beginning of the tunnel under the East River is vitally necessary, if Brooklyn real estate values are to be saved from severe depreciation. If the issue is authorized it will provide for the whole work of construction, not for any part of it, although only a fractional portion of the would be spent on the tunnel this year.

If the contract is not let this year, there is small likelihood of any progress in the work before July 1, 1903 a delay of the most serious kind when the rapid approach to completion of the Man hattan subway is considered. It was orig inally planned that the Manhattan subway and the East River tunnel to Brooklyn Bhould.be completed if possible at one and the same time, but, from present indica tions, there will be a long gap of months, if not years, between the completion of the subway and the opening of the tunnel for traffic. What this means, Brooklynites are just be ginning to realize. It means that the im proved say rather the revolutionized transit facilities to upper Manhattan Island will boom Bronx and Westchester real estate and make way for an inevtiable slump in Brook Jyn values. This touches solely upon the effect on land values.

The necessity of the East River tunnel as a means of solving the rapid transit problem is a separate and equally serious consideration. Controller Grout and Borough President Swanstrom are both uncompromising advo cates of the tunnel to Brooklyn. Mr. Swan Strom said this afternoon that he was for the tunnel "first, last and all the time," and that nothing would take precedence over it in his estimate ot the situation. Controller Grout was equally emphatic in his advocacy of the tunnel bond issue.

"It would be a gross outrage," he said, "to deprive Brooklyn of this improvement to its transit facilities. I don't say this because I live in Brooklyn, but. because I realize what connection the East River tunnel has with the welfare of the whole city." "I see no reason why the contract for the Brooklyn tunnel extension should not be ready for execution by July 1 of this year, said Controller Grout to day. "The city is morally committed to carrying out this im provement at the earliest opportunity and I shall use' whatever Influence I have to see that the bonds for it are included in this year's bond budget." Mr. Grout will strenuously oppose any at tempt that may be made to side track the Brooklyn tunnel plan and will if necessary make a stiff fight for it in the Board or Est! mate, the body which is to determine what bonds are to be Issued this year.

The Controller believes the tunnel extension has the right of way and that other improvements should wait if necessary. The promises made by the Rapid Transit Commission and the last administration, he believes, should be kept with all good faith. Mr. Grout looks forward to seeing the contract advertised during May and the opening of bids on or about July 1, followed promptly the execution of the contract and the commencement of work. He said to day there has been practically no delay up to the present since the court's approvul of the route and plan was secured only in February, and the chief engineer of the Rapid Transit Commission could not go ahead making detailed plans and specifications until such approval was complete.

The preparation of the contract itself has been a difficult matter, and it is not yet complete. Mr. Grout, when seen to day, had just written Mr. Orr a letter asking him to proceed with it regardless of the Controller's necessary absence this month on Board of Estimate work. The contract must be advertised for six weeks after the complete specifications and form of contract are ready for bidders to inspect.

This long term is given prospective bidders on account of the intricacy and Importance of the work to be done. Speaking of the Board of Estimate's part in the matter of providing bonds, Mr. Grout said to day: "You cannot put me too strongly on record in favor of commencing the Brooklyn extension this summer. After the first Monday in July, when the new assess I ments are confirmed, the city can go ahead incurring new obligations. "If the bonds for the work are not Included in the bond budget, it will mean practically a whole year's delay, as in July the city will be just as able to provide for the tunnel work as it will be until next year's assessments are confirmed a year from July.

"It seems to me a failure. At this stage to provide funds for the work to go ahead would be as disastrous to the city as its failure to live up to any great contract by which it is solemnly bound, because it would mean a great loss in Brooklyn property values, which have improved by virtue of the city's promise to provide rapid transit." OBITUARY. Ann Eliza Hanson Turton. Mrs. Ann Eliza Hanson, widow of Thomas Turton, died yesterday at the home of her daughter, Dr.

M. L. Turton, 360 Greene avenue, after, two weeks' illness, aged 67 years. She was born in the Eastern District, September 12, 1835, and her parents, David Hanson and Maria Raynor, were prominent in the annals of old Williamsburgh. She had been a member of the First Reformed Church, corner of Bedford avenue and Clymer street, for over forty live years, and four years ago, because of her health in not being able to travel the distance to her favorite place of worship, joined the Puritan' Congregational Church.

Her devout Christian, spirit was manifest throughout her life and her daily actions were in accord with the Biblical truths. She was fond of reading and explaining. As an indulgent wife, mother and friend she will long be remembered. The funeral services will be held from the Greene avenue residence to morrow evening at 8 o'clock, the Rev. Wilbur Howard Ennls, assisted by the Rev.

Mr. Taylor, to officiate. The remains will be interred alongside her husband, in the Piscataway Township Cemetery, at New Brunswick. J. "The deceased was married in 1855 and of her nine children those surviving are Dr.

M. L. Turton and Richard Turton of Brooklyn, Elbert P. Turton of Roseville, N. and Mrs.

J. Fred Flugrath of Patchogue, L. I. William H. Wallace.

William H. Wallace, whose funeral servlco will be held at his late home, 83 Lefferts place, to night at o'clock, died of heart disease Sunday, in the office of Dr. H. F. Williams, 197 Gates avenue.

He was head of the grain firm of W. H. Wallace In the Produce Exchange. Manhattan. He was one of the leading grain merchants of the United States and was known all over the country as a sterling business man.

Ho John Fullman Claims His Right Under Unrepealed Municipal Ordinance. HE VOTED FOR LOW AND FUSION, Now He Thinks Law Abiding Citizens Might Be Left Alone and a Few Gambling Houses Closed. "I'm not going to use ray Winchester or any other weapon. I an! a law abiding citizen, as good as there is in this town, but if any attempt is made to remove that sign I'll fight the matter in the courts if it takes me five years to do it," declared John M. Pullman, a well known real estate dealer, who has been ordered to take down the sign in front of his office on Union street, near Fifth avenue, to day.

Before Justice Marean of the Supreme Court, yesterday, Stephen M. Hoye, Mr. Pull man's lawyer, made application for an order John Pullman. continuing an injunction restraining Superintendent ticuldcn the Bureau ot Incumbrances, from removing Pull man's sign. In the course ot his argument Mr.

Hoye tolil Justice Marean that if it became necessary Mr. Pullman would use his Winchester to protect his sign. His honor told the lawyer that was his client's only remedy aud refused to issue a permanent injunction. Pullman is not quite so bellicose a man as the remark of his lawyer in court would indicate. He is about 60 years of age and has a flowing gray beard.

In manner he is quiet and affable, and, judged by his conversation, would be the last man In the world to pull a Winchester on an officer of the peace. Withal, there is an air of determination about him which leaves the impression that if Mr. Pullman sets his mind on a purpose ho will leave no stone unturned to accomplish it. In view of which it is very likely that there is trouble ahead for Mr. (Jculden if he persists in his intention to remove Mr.

Pullman's sign. The sign in question extends across the sidewalk from the top of the window of Mr. Pullman's office out to the curb. It bears the name of Mr. Pullman in gilt letters.

It is braced on each end, being fastened at one end to a pole sunk into the ground about a root from the curb. Mr. Pullman says the sign has been in its yieseui. position lor tne past nrteen years tie declares it will remain in th.it as long as he does business there. While he is going to fight to retain it, he says he is going to use only peaceful methods.

He does not countenance violence, he declares, aiiuougn an ioiu nir. uouiden that it any attempt was made to remove the sign by force there raiRht be trouble ahead. Tho sign is worth about but it is not lie intrinsic value of the thing that has prompted him to go to law about it, Mr. Pullman says. He says he has a right to his 7, 11111 "UB Iacea mere, said Mr.

J'uuman, in laiKing aDOUt nis trouriles with Superintendent Goulden, "by permission of the Hoard of Aldermen over fifteen years ago. This is the first time that I have ever been subjected to this annoyance, and by the very people that I worked hard to elect last all. It they expect to enforce the blue laws of our forefathers they will not do it with my consent. "If these people want to look for law violators, why don't they go where they can find them. There arc gambling houses flourishing In this town, but you don't ste them dis turbing those places.

Instead, they prefer to harass people who are disposed to do wnat is rigni. "That sizn is pnincr to rem.nin (hern if have to fight the case in every court in tho state, and I will do it if it. takes me five 'earB' am as heavy a taxpayer as there ia secured by these people or anybody else. "Two weeks ago Mr. Gouldai sent a man here on a bicycle, who asked me to take my sign down.

I told him I would do nothing of the kind. Two or three days later I received a written order from Mr. Goulden To the same effect. I went to Mr. Goulden's office and asked him to wait a couple of weeks until I could see my lawyer and commence proceedings restraining him from removing the sign.

He was very nice and agreed to this arrangement. That is how the matter got into the courts. "The sign is absolutely necessary to me. From the peculiar location of my office it is Impossible for passersby on Fifth avenue to see it. and I don't intend to have my business injured by Mr.

Goulden or anybody else. There never has been a complaint against it during all the years It has been there. The sign is well braced, well protected, and there no possible danger in its remaining." Mr. Pullman said his lawyer was going to appeal froin the decision of Justice Marean. KERN BECKMAN.

NIEDERSTEIN SCORES ONE. Excise Charge Against Hotel Keeper Dismissed, but It Is Said Police Will Press Other Complaints. John Niederstein, the proprietor of th" hotel at the corner of Flatbush avenue and Malbonc street, which has a dance hall attached, and the proprietor, as alleged, ol" the Raines law hotel, in the vicinity, known as the Hotel Royal, was in the toils again this morning. To day he was charged with a violation of the excise law, inasmuch as he allowed persons in the barroom of his hotel on Malbonc street after midnight on Saturday. The case against Niederstein was weak this morning and he was discharged from custody alter only one witness had been examined.

That witness, who was the policeman that made the complaint, was accused by several other policemen of having "cold feet." It was the general talk before court opened that the police had Niederstein dead to rights; but their proof failed to materialize. Two captains are now hot foot after Niederstein. Captain Knipe being the complainant on the charges brought against him as tho proprietor of the Hotel Royal, and Captain Murphy of the Grand avenue station being behind the complaint by his patrolman. Anthony Monahan. Malbonc street is the dividing line between the two precincts.

Patrolman Monahan when put on the stand to day swore that at o'clock on morning the orchestra in the dance hall, which is now well known as the "Hay market." was playing away as joyfully as ever. He said that the doors leading to the hotel and dance hall from Malbonc street were locked, but that a side door leading into the carriageway, which opened from I the barroom, was wide open. Gut of this door, he said, people were passing, the screens all being out of the barroom windows, so that he could plainly see. He swore that there were two bartenders be hind the bar and that two waiters were busy carrying drinks from the barroom into the wine room and dance hall. On cross examination by Judge Jacob Neu, Niederstein's counsel, Monahan said that he had tried the door on the Malbonc street side and had found it locked.

He said that of all the people who parsed through the barroom to get out of the hotel he didn't see any of them stop to get a drink. At this point. Magistrate Steers quickly agreed with Judge Xeu that the case was too flimsy and Niederstein was accordingly discharged from custody. Meclerstem was prepared to fight the case this morning, for i he had his two bartenders. Billy True and Charles earns, the manager of the Alex Williams and several members of the orchestra on hand to that the nlueo was as correct and law abiding as it could be.

The charge against Niederstein as the proprietor of the Hotel Royal is down tor Friday of this week and, while neither Captain Knipe nor any of his sleuths are saying much, they hold out the idea that they will give the hotelkeeper a hot run for his money. One man, who has been ordered back Into his uniform from plain clothes duty, blames Niederstein for his change and i declared to day: "There will be something doing on Fridav. i all right."

Surveyors Must Find Them Before Laying Out Line of New Pennsylvania Railroad Tunnel. Surveyors have been busy in the city streets for several days past trying to establish a point on this side of the East River to work from toward a point already established in Manhattan, in digging the proposed Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel. There are at certain parts of this city small white monuments that were planted by the engineers employed by the Survey Commission that laid out the city in the early 70s. These monuments represent the system of trian gulatiou established for the purpose of laying out the official map. The records are supposed to show these monuments and tell the measurements.

The surveyois now at work have been unable to find a correct point from which to begin the triangles that must form the basis of their maps or plans. They have carried their operations up and down Borden, Vernon, Jackson, West and other avenues, and in the cross streets, and are still at work verifying and measuring to find a correct point. When that is accomplished they will lay their imaginary lines and the work will go on. The tunnel will be lighted by electricity and the trains passing through it will be moved by the same power. Interest is de veloping in the form or shape of cars for such railway use.

The managers of the sub way system in New lork City are giving a great deal of attention to that subject. They have experts investigating it and these men have traveled on every underground road for the purpose studying the style of car riage in use and its advantages and disad vantages. It is promised that the subway cars will be a surprise to the New York traveling public. MANUFACTURERS MEET. Schieren a Candidate for President.

Danger of Tinkering With Tariff Pointed Out. Indianapolis, April 15 The convention of the National Association of Manufacturers was opened here to day. In his annual re port the sixth he has presented President Theodore C. Search called attention to the declining exports of American manufactured products and urged manufacturers not to neg lect their foreign customers in this era of extraordinary demand, lest in times of depression they should find their foreign trade destroyed and no export outlets for the sur plus of an overstocked home market. Reciprocity formed one of the chief topics of the report and the work of the National Reciprocity Convention, which was held in Washington last November, under the au spices of the association, was reviewed at length.

Assuming the doubtful chances ol any action on the pending treaties of reciprocity with France "and Argentina, Mr. Search declared that further development of the reciprocal trade idea depended upon the possibilities of special legislation like that for which the proposed concession to Cuba affords a precedent. Mr. Search said: "Our treatment of the Cuban problem furnishes the precedent Tor the new departure In reciprocity; but while we recognize certain obvious advantages in this plan we must not close our eyes to the dangers that He In such a course. We must recognize that such a method of procedure practically Invites a continuous tinkering of the tariff, the possibilities of which we can view only with distrust and alarm." The principle of direct government aid to the merchant marine, as embodied in the pending ship suosldy bill, was commended to the association as In perfect accord with the declarations of previous annual conventions.

Concerning isthmian canal projects Mr. Search took the positron that the people really cared but little whether the Panainx or the Nicaragua route should be chosen, so long as some decisive action should be taken by Congress which would advance the matter to the point of actual undertaking of the construction of an interoceanic waterway. Attention of the association was directed to the pending eight hour bill and the "anti injunction bill," both of which Mr. Search said very gravely concerned the interests of the manufacturers of the country and should not be permitted to become laws without having been most carefully considered in their bearing upon manufacturing interests. Commercial education was discussed at considerable length.

The election of a new president on Thursday to succeed Theodore C. Search of Philadelphia is of great interest. D. M. Parry has been mentioned for the place, although he has stated he is not a candidate.

Charles A. Schieren, ex mayor of Brooklyn, has been making an active campaign for the presidency. His election, it Is said, in all probability would mean the transfer of the national headquarters from Philadelphia to New York, a move which Western members are said to disfavor.
