C. A CONSTITUTIONAL POINT Raised in an Effort to Compel Payment of Charity Money. Certain provisions oi the new constltutioa came in for discussion in the supreme court this morninc where Justice Bnrtlett was presiding. It was on a motioa by Lawyer William J. Carr for a mandamus to compel the board of tupervisors to audit certain bills amounting to nearly 1,200.

They were from the Wayside home, for the eare of sane female inmates. Mr. Carr said his application involved a construction of section 14, title 8 of the charities seetion the revised constitution. fie laid there was a very serious difference as to the meaning of the section in question. A mass of legislation had been introduced at Albany and deferred until the question involved was decided by tho courts.

It had been agreed that issue on the points involved should be taken to court born In Kingi eoumty for ruling. Counsel said that under the statute in existence prior to the adoption of the new constitution, the county treasurer was commanded to pay such institutions as the Wayside home 6110 yearly or pro rata, for each female over the age ot 12 years maintained therein, provided the charge was first passed on by the board of supervisors. While the new constitution, provides that such payments may be made, it does not provide that payment shall be mandatory. Lawyer Breecenridge, appearing for tho supervisors, said he had nothing to say aside fron the fact that the board was perfectly willing to abide by the court's decision. Judge Bnrtlett replied that, as he read the law, it seemed to him that the object of tbe new constitution was simply to modify the tatute and not to repeal it.

Then he added: "A distinguished member of the constitutional convention said to mo recently: 'It took us six moaths to make the constitution ana it will take yeu twenty yenrs to interpret AMERICAN RACERS ABROAD. Harry Reed Showed a East Trial Banquet Scratched To day. London, April 15 As customary on Easter Monday there are an enormous number of races throughout England to day.

There were more restrictions placed on the saloon keepers at Fort Hamilton yesterday than there were all last summer. About 2 o'clock In the afternoon the police stopped the singing that had been commenced at Henry Johnson's pavilion, on the shore road.

A number of bowlers in Martin's alleys were not allowed to finish their game. The actual saloon business was not interfered with and the numerous visitors had no difficulty in getting all they wanted to drink. The unsettled state of affairs has caused a Bath Beach man to place on his summer pier the sign: "All employes work here at their own risk." This pier was opened yesterday and there seemed to be plenty of help willing to run any risk that might be attached to the wearing ot waiters' aprons. Ulmer Park casino, at Gravesend Beach, was formally opened yesterday. There were no restrictions to either music or beer.

There were thousands of visitors present. There was plenty of driving and wheeling yesterday. Bay parkway, Bensonhurst, and the shore road at Fort Hamilton and Bay Ridge were the roads mostly used, and during the afternoon there was a constant stream of equipages and bicycles upon them. The Sunday school of St. John's church.

Fort Hamilton, held its Easter festival at the church on Ninety ninth street, Fort Hamilton, avenue, last night. The following was the programme of the services: "Ye happy bells of Easter choral service; song, Easter Time," "Christ the Lord is risen," address by the pastor, song, "Near the tomb where Jesus slept" recessional, song, "Come, all ye faithful." Mrs. Mary Dlmond, wif of C. F. Dimond of Bensonhurst, who fell down the stairs of the Brooklyn elevated road last week, fracturing her skull, died last Saturday night.

She was in the 29th year of her age. The body was taken to Baltimore, to day for interment. There was a dog fight on Bay Seventh street, Bath Beach, this morning that was witnessed by less than half a dozen spectators. The brutes were game bulldogs, Prince and Danger, owned respectively by A. Troper aud F.

Zimmerman, and it was by accident they met. For fully twenty minutes they chewed each other and never once uttered a growl that could be heard twenty five feet away. The pace was too hot for Danger. He got on his back and Prince was having everything his own way when the animals were separated. Both dogs were covered with blood.

Edward Maher and a soldier named Charles Montague were arrested yesterday at Fort Hamilton for Intoxication. This morning Judge Cowenhoven gave them each the choice of $5 or five days in jail. Two dances are to take place this evening. The James F. White association will enjoy its annual outing at Bay View park, Bay Ridge.

Tho proceeds will be for the benefit of Mrs. Holland, widow of the late Hurry Holland. The Citizen association of Bath Beach and Van Pelt Manor will hold its initial affair at Sheirlein's hall, Bath, Beach. KEEPING OUT POLITICS. The People's Bridge Association Is Strictly Non partisan.

The executive committee ot tho People Bridge association held a meeting this morning in the People's bank on Broadway aad Green avenue. Congressman Charles G. Bonnett, who is president of the association, eallod the meeting to order. The object of this association is to promote in ovory legitimate way tho legislation necesnary to provide for the construction of a bridge from the eastern district. It has already 10.0C0 poople on rolled as members.

There was some dlscusulon nnd a fow nhort speeches concerning the best methods to pursue and the good results which a bridge would produce and tho following resolutions were adopted: Reaoired. That we maiataln our position as a non partisan bodr doclaro our alleat confidence in tha authorities of ibo two cities, and our eorernor, and our law makers of the legislature, beidinc oar censure for those only who, moved by parsimonious or semsh considerations, in any way retard the ffivlnc of the great structure to tbe two cities for whose growth it is so vitally important. Congressman Bennett, with this resolution, waited upon the mayor and tho corporation ountel this morninc, and those officials wera pleased with the activity shown by the eommlt teo and the wisdom shown in keeping political considerations out of their action. The big mass meeting, whioh had been arranged for Wednesday night of this week at the Academy of Music, to protest against the Wiemaa. amendments has been called off, because Mr.

Wieman has experienced a change of heart aa. to what is his wisest course to pursue in tho matter. Both Mayor Schleren and Cerporation Counsel McDonald had been asked by the committee In charge of the meetine to attend and epenk and they had each agreed to eomply with the request. Assemblyman Wieui an called at the corporation counters office this, morning. Ha did not express any special contrition lor havins stirred up tho opposition ot the mayors of both New York and Brooklyn aad half of the population of this eity as well.

He was, however, sufficiently repentant to repeat the preriouily published fact that he will withdraw from his position to night and let the bill take its oourse, unobstructed by amy further action of hi owa.

STABBED BY AN UNKNOWN MAN. Charles Berry Had a Serious Experience on. Washington Street. A number of boys were annoying an Italian in front of the Salvation Army barracks on Washington street at a late hour last night and several people stopped to share in what they seemed to think was fun. The Italian did not take the same view of the matter, for he suddenly drew a knife and began striking right and lett with it.

The crowd scattered and the Italian disappeared. Ton minutes later Charles Berry of 250 Navy street, stopped in front of the engine house at Front and Bridge streets and said he needed a doctor. He had not been there many minutes when he fainted from loss of blood. An ambulance was summoned and the surgeon who attended with it discovered that the mnn had been stabbed three times in the abdomen with a sharp pointed Instrument, probably a stiletto.

He Tells the Farmer That the Best Prices Which Cheap Money Proclaims Are Unsubstantial and Elusive To the Wage Earner Benefits of Debased Currency, if They Exist, Would Come Last of All. Chigago, 111., April 13 The business men and citizens of Chicago who invited President Cleveland to visit Chicago are to be disappointed.

The invitation reads: "As busiiress men and citizens of Chicago, irrespective of party affiliations, we respectfully invite you and Mrs. Cleveland to a public reception to be tendered to you In our city to express our deep sense and appreciation of your states manlllke and courageous action in maintaining the financial credit of our government and your uncompromising attitude In favor of tho preservation of. a sound national currency." Last evening Henry S. Robbins, who Is said to be authority for the movement, received the following letter: Kxecutlve Mansion, WashinKtnn. D.

C. April 13, 1SS5. To Messrs. William T. linker, GeorRi Smith, John A.

ltoaehe. T. W. Harvey. David Kelly and Henry C.

Robbins: Gentlemen I am much gratified by the exceedingly kir.il and invitation you have tendered mo on helialf of many citizens of to be their joiesis at a Katherintf in interest of sound money and wholesome llnaneial doctrine. Mjr attachment to this cause is so Kreat and I know so well the hospitality and kindness of the people of Chicago that my personal inclination is Strongly in favor of accepting flattering invitation; but my Judfrment and my estimate of the proprieties of my official place obliges me to forego the enjoyment of participating in the occasion you contemplate. I hope, however, the event will mark the beginning of an earnest and aggressive effort to disseminate amonp the people safe and prudent financial Ideas. Nothing more important can engage the attention of patriotic citizens, because nothing Is so vital to the welfare of our fellow countrymen and to strength, prosperity and honor of our nation. The situation confront lr.

us demands that those who appreciate the importance of this subject, and those who oupht to be the llrst to see impending danser, should no longer remain Indifferent or over confident. If the sound money sentiment abroad in the land is to save us from mischief and disaster, it must be crystallzed and combined and made immediately active. It Is dangerous to overlook the fact that a vast number of people with scant opportunity, thus far. to examine the question in all Its aspects, have nevertheless been Ingeniously pressed with specious suggestions which in this time of misfortune and depression And willing listeners prepared to credence to any scheme which is plausibly presented as a remedy for their unfortunate condition. ''What is now needed more than anything else is a plain and simple presentation of the argument in favor of sound money.

Inyother words, it Is a time for tho American people to reason together as members of a great ration which can promise them continuance if protection ami safety only so long a its solvency is unsuspected, Its honor unsullied and the soundness of its money unquestioned. These things are Hi exchanged for the Illusions of a. debased currency and groundless hope of advantages to be gained by a disregard of our financial credit and commercial standing among the nations of the world. If our people were Isolated from ail others and If the question of our curency could be treated without regard to our relations to other countries, its character would be a matter of comparatively lltle Importance. If the American people were only concerned In the maintenance of their physical life among themselves.

they might return to tho old days of baiter, and In this primitive manner acquire from each other the materials to supply the wants of their existence. But if American civilization was satis fled with this. It would abjectly fall In its high and noble mission. "In these restless days the farmer is tempted by the asunmee that thoubh our currency may be debased, redundant and uncertain, such a situation will Improve the price of 'his products. Let us remind him that he must buy as wel as sell; that his dreams of plenty are shaded by the certainty that If the price of the things he has to sell are nominally enhanced, the cost of things he must buy will not remain stationary; that the better prices which cheap money proclaims are unsubstantial and elusive and that even If they were real and palpable, he must necessarily be left far behind In the race for their enjoyment.

"It ought not to he difficult to convince the wage earner that if there were beneilts arising from a degenerated currency they would reach him least of all and last of all. In an unhealthy stimulation of prices an increased cost of all the needs of his home must long be his portlun. while he It at the same time vexed with vanishing visions of Increased wages and an easier lot. The pages of history and experience are full of this lesson. An insidious attempt is made to create a prejudice against the advocates of a safe and sound currency by the insinuation, more or less directly made, that they belong to financial and business classes, and are therefore not only out of sympathy with the common people of the land, but for selfish and wicked purposes are willing to sacrifice the interests of those outside thlr circle.

"I believe that capital and wealth, through combination and other means, sometimes gain an undue advantage, and It must be conceded that the maintenance of a sound currency In a sense be invested with a greater or less importance to individuals according to their condition and circumstances. It is. however, only a difference in degree, since It is utterly impossible that any one In our broad land, rich or poor, whatever be his occupation, and whether dwelling in a center of finance and commerce or In a remote corner of our domain, can be really benefited by a llnaneial scheme not alike beneficial to all our people, or that anyone should be excluded from a common and universal Interest in tho safe character and stable value of the currency of the country. "In our relation to this we are nil in business, for we all buy and sell; so we all have to do with financial operations, for we all earn money and spend It. We cannot escape our interpendence.

Merchants and dealers are in ever' neighborhood and each has its shops and manufactories. Wherever the wants of man exist, business and finance in some degree are found, related In one direction to those whose wants they supply and in another to the more extensive business and finance to which they are tributary, a fluctuation in prices at the seaboard is known the same day or hour in the remotest hamlet. The discredit or depreciation In the financial centers of any form of' money in the hands of the people is a signal of immediate loss everywhere. If reckless discontent and wild experiment should sweep our currency from its safe support, the most defenceless of all who suffer In that time of distress and national discredit will be the poorer, as they reckon the loss In their scanty support, and as the laborer or worhlngman, as he sees the money he has received from his toll shrink and shrhel in his hand when he tenders it for the necessaries to supply his humble home. "Disguise ns we may, the line of battle is drawn between the forces of safe currency and those of silver monometallism.

I will not believe that if our people are afforded an intelligent opportunity for sober second thought they will sanction schemes that, however cloaked, menn disaster and confusion, nor that they will consent, by undermining the foundation of a safe currency, to endanger the beneficent character and purposes of their government. Yours very truly. OROVER CLKVELAN'D. Mr. Robbins said, after the receipt of the letter.

"While tho business men who extended this invitation hoped for a favorable response, the yfully realize the difficulties in the way of the President's acceptance. His inability to overcome these and come to Chicago will be deeply regretted by them, as the ovation which would have been accorded to him here would have given a great impetus to the honest money sentiment throughout tho West. Still, his letter wil'l have almost as wide Influence, as it speaks on that topic with his usual courage and directness." Secretary Iloko Smith to War Ag. iint Silver. CSpecial to the Eagle.) Washington, D.

April 15 President Cleveland's letter on finance addressed to his friends in Chicago, who invited him to attend tho business men's banquet there, in which ho comes oat flat footed in favor of sound money end honest currency, was anticipated by those residing in tKis city who knew something of Mr. Cleveland' senti When Brooklyn Was Primitive and the Eagle Was Young. AN OLD NEIGHBOR'S BIRTHDAY. Ezekiel Baldwin Is Eighty To day, and His Near Relatives Are Celebrating. He Is Now a Paralytic, but His Mental Faculties Are Unimpaired Reminiscences of Brooklyn When Fulton Street Was in the Country.

Ezekiel Baldwin will colebrato his 80th birthday this evening at his residonce, 51 Cranberry street, Awny back in the forties, about the time that tho Eagle began to supply Brooklyn with all its local news, Mr. Baldwin conducted a hotel near Fulton ferry at 1 Fulton stroot. Tho hostelry was known as tho Franklin house, and it was Tor many a year a popular resort for travelers. There was no bridge then and Fulton ferry bustled with tho lire of Brooklyn and New York from morning till night. The 6tage coaches, now sup plantod by tho trolley ears, started from Mr.

Baldwin's yard and ran over Myrtle nvenuo to Greenpoint and through Court street. Tho host of tho Franklin house made money then and retired with a competence sufficient to enable him to" live comfortably, buy country house at Hempstead, with a couple oi acres, and his present residence on Cranberry street. Mr. Baldwin was born at Hempstead, L. on April 15, eighty years ago.

His wife, a bright, brisk little woman still, although she 3IH. AND MBS. celebrated her golden wedding five years ago, came lrorn Amityville, L. i. The two were married in September.

1839, nnd it is interesting to recall the fnct that on that interesting occasion his groomsman was ex Mavor D. D. Whitney. His. honoris still alivo and will bo invitod to join the old man in his turthday celebration to night althoueh in other respects it is to bo purely a family aflair.

For nearly ten years Sir. Baldwin ha been paralyzed, but loving tender hands are always beside him to smooth the rough places and help to lessen tho burden of his heavy weight of years. The old man's mind is as keen and as aotive almost as it was half a century ago. Ho was able to tell tho reporter this morning of the old days when his bousa on Cranberry street looked out on a gnat sweep of iiolds and woods and of tho time when ho servd with ex Mayor Whitney and J. C.

Whitney, the latter now dend, on the bridge commission, whea. that gigantic enterprise was contemplated. Mr. Baldwin and tho proprietor of another hotel at Flatbush wore the only two bonifacas la tha city at tho time that Ezeiciel run the Franklin houso who had the reputation of never touching liquor of any description. Nor did ho use tobacco iu any form.

P.ut ho was a hearty, sociable, good fellow, universally respected, generous and always had a ready purse for the needy. Ho took a keen interest in municipal affairs, but allowed politics to take caro of themselves. The esteem in which he was held may be gathered from the faot that he was frequently urged to run for municipal office, but an aldormanic chair and even the high office of mayor held out no charms for him. Mr. Baldwin has liTed his home on Cranberry street for twenty eight years.

Ho has been a paralytic for ten years and has not been able to leave his rooms for five. Ho has had live children four girls and a boy. One clrl is dead. Tho others are Mrs. John F.

HofT, who has a son, Edgar; Mrs. Stephen Dunn, John II. Baldwin, who has three ehildrcn. Maggie, Willie and Florenee, and youngest daughter, who Is unmarried and has always lived with her father. Mrs.

J. F. Masters was the namo of the deceased daughter. She left a boy, James H. Theso will all surround tho old man to night to shake him by tho hand and shower upon him their congratulations.

Mr. Baldwin is a member of tho Society of Old Brooklynites, an odd fellow, he belongs to Nassau lodge, and is also a member of Lexington lodge oi free masens. Ho aad his wife are both members of the Presbyterian church at tho eorner of Atlantic avenue and Bond street. They have been married flfty fivo years. This picturosqae old character comes of a long lived family.

His mother lived to the age of Ul. He was tho only child. Mrs. Baldwin's mother was rll when she died. She has ono brother and threo listers alive.

GIRLS SUE THEIE EMPLOYER. A Dozen of Them Seek Michael Ma lone's Arrest. Twelve girls all sizes and ages, who say they are backed by twenty more, went to the Adams street police court to day to get a warrant for the arrest of their employer, Barney Malone, an underclothes manufacturer at 331 Adams street. They said Mr. Malone refused to pay them their wages.

Justice Walsh referred the delegation to Justice Neu's civil court in the city hall, with the advice that they bring suit against the alleged delinquent Malone. They filed into Justice Neu's court a little before noon and for a moment nearly created a panic there. They told 'the Judge as soon as he found opportunity to give them an audience that Malone owed them individually and severally all the way from to $20. He promised to square up, they said, on Saturday, but when they called on that day, he told them to come around to day. They visited the shop this morning and found it locked and the machinery apparently all taken out of the place.

"We thought he'd coppered the sneak on us," said one of the girls, "and we concluded we'd better get him pinched before he got too far away." "This man is an old offender," said Justice Neu. "Ever since I have been in this court complaints like this have come in from time to time about him. Tho trouble is that after you girls get a summons for him you go out of court and settle the case, and we never hear anything more about it. Meanwhile the city loses the price' of the summons." "Now girls," the judge continued, while they all crowded around and leaned over the desk, "you had better all chip into the Dot I and make up the price of a summons. Then u'P enn do somptb'nc fnr wo, "I'll put up," said one, "and so will said another, until the requisite amount was contributed.

Then the girls gave their names and the clerk got a summons ready. CAN'T ARREST FOR LOUNGING. Justice Steers Says to Use Another Section of the Code. Justice Steers in the Grant street police court this morning had five loungers arraigned before him as the result of the determination of Captain Cullcn of the Twenty second precinct to rid his territory' of corner loafers. The men who faced Justice Steers were John Egan.

William and Charles Gildea, David Custus and Henry Carlin. They were discharged under suspension of sentence under the decision of supreme court justice Gaynor that it is not against the law for a man, woman or child to stand in a public highway. In discharging the defendants Justice Steers lectured the men and remarked that hereafter they would not get off so easy. He then gave the policemen in court directions to inform the sergeants at the desk to have complaints made under a different section of the code, so as to give the court an opportunity of sending seme ot the loungers to the penitentiary. An Aged and Honored Citizen of Brooklyn, LIVED HERE OVER EIFTY YEARS.

Born on the Island of Malta of Distinguished Lineage, He Came to This Country More Than Sixty Years Ago and Engaged in Agriculture and Afterward in Commerce Well Known in the Roman Catholic Church. Funeral services over the body of Carmelo F. Caruana, who died last Tuesday at his late residence, 239 Sackett street, were held this morning at St. Agnes' Roman Catholic church, at Hoyt and Sackett streets, at 10:30 o'clock. The Rev.

J. S. Duffy, pastor of the church, officiated, and was assisted by Fathers Yorke and Kirby. The solemn requiem mass was said and the choir sang the "Miserere," Kyrie Eleison, Sanctus and "Ave Maria" of Cberubini's mass, with appropriate chants. A large number of the friends of the family were present and at the conclusion of the ceremony followed the remains to the cemetery.

The floral tributes ot the friends and relatives were very beautiful. A ten toot cross of white and yellow roses was the most notable. Mr. Caruana's life had spanned the greater part of this century, and his extraordinary vitality, mental and physical, was such as to hold out the promise of completing it. A sudden attack of pneumonia brought his years to an end at the ripe age ot 91.

He had lived in Brooklyn for fifty years. He was an earnest and devoted Christian and polished gentleman of the old school, particularly distinguished for his dignified bearing and courteous manner. Mr. Caruana was of Spanish descent and born in Malta in 1S04, the founder of the family there being Dom Pedro Caruana, a Spaniard who went there early in the fifteenth century and afterward rose to prominence, being elected one of the jurati at the establishment of the island's independence of the crown of Spain. The name thenceforth was honorably identified with the country both in its military and civil annals.

Mr. Caruana's immediate ancestors held the honorary title of cavalcante to the Grand ilasters Ie Rhoan and Pinta of the Knights of St. John. His father. Dr.

Lorenzo Caruana, was crown advocate under British government, and for thirty years one of his majesty's distinguished judges of the admiralty and civil courts and court of apeols. Mr. Caruana was admitted to the bar in 1S2S and had conferred upon him the degree of doctor of laws by the government university. He was a thorough Latin scholar, also speaking fluently tour modern languages. When Charles D.

Coxe was sent to the Barbary states by tho Presidont as envoy during the Algerian troubles, he stopped at Malta with his family, and it was then that Mr. Caruana met his beautiful daughter. Miss Rebecca Coxe, whom he afterward married. This estimable woman, a member of one of the best known American colonial families and his consort for over half a century', died a few years ago. Mr.

Coxe died at Tripoli while on a mission for this government. He went to Tripoli on the frigate Constitution at the time Commodore Decatur was fighting the Algerlne pirates of the Mediterranean. Mr. Caruana came to this country In 1832 with Mr. Coxe's widow and five children.

His life here was thoroughly American, though he was the first person born in Malto to settle in this country' For a decade he was interested in agricultural pursuits at the Coxe family homestead, N. J. He at once made his declaration of citizenship and adopted Jeffersonian principles, following the fortunes of Democracy until his death. He married Miss Coxe two years after his arival in this country. It was not until 1842 that he came to live in Brooklyn and engaged in mercantile life in New York.

He then became connected with the old firm of Lily Raclnes, and in 1855 was taken into partnership. Finally succeeding them in 1859, he became one of the prominent importing and exporting merohants, trading with South America, West India and the Mediterranean. By his high sense of mercantile honor he gained the esteem of the foremost business men of the period, his genial influence and thoroughly cultivated mind and character winning their personal and life long friendship. He retired from active business some fourteen years ago. Pre eminently an old Brooklynite, loving the city and its institutions, he was devoted to its progress.

A resident of the heights for many years, he was treasurer and trustee of the Church of St. Charles Bor romeo, in Sidney place, under the pastorate of tho late Rev. Dr.Oharlea C. Pise, who was his intimate friend. One of the founders ot the Catholic union of New York, he was for many years a member of the board of directors.

Two sons, Lorenzo C. Caruana and Counselor John C. Caruana, with three grandchildren, survive him. PROFESSOR DANA DEAD. He "Was a Professor at Yale and a Famous Geologist.

Medieval French Architecture.

Carcassonne with Its abrupt contrast of a modern railway town dominated on bold heights by a medieval one hardly changed from its ancient castle, cathedral, is the piece of interest in Walter Cranston Larned'3 "Churches and Castles of Medieval France," published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New Tork, In a tastefully bound and finely illustrated volume. The author takes a traveler's somewhat dreamy interest in these monuments of ages called dark because they had no printing presses or photographs. Aigues Mortes is another place that challenges tho author's special enthusiasm, with its wonderfully preserved fortifications from which Louis IX, the canonized French king, so repeatedly salieiA out with devoted hosts against the Saracen. It was turn about, for tho same Southern French coast had had its Moorish possessors and rulers as well as Romau and French. Amiens, Chartres, Caen, Rouen, Beauvals, Rheims and Bourges also have their display among cathedrals, easily headed by Tours as the most graceful and aspiring of the two towered sort, while Mont St.

Michel Is shown in Its unique combination of tortress surmounted by church which not even Carcassonne shows among French medieval works and only the opposite Mount St. Michael on the English side of the channel rivals there. The famous old chateaus of France are also described poetically and finely pictured, Blois, Amboise, Chambord and Chenonceaux leading in grandeur or beauty. Won't Punish Justice Billings.
