CAROLINE WOLF MEYER, widow of Isaac Mayer, died on Wednesday at her residence, EAGLE ACTS AS HOST TO ARION SOCIETY Real Old-Fashioned German "Kommers" Is Held at Arion Hall. GREAT CONCERT IS RECALLED. Representatives of the Singers and the Newspaper Exchange Felicitations Over Its Success. The Brooklyn Eagle was the host last night at Arion Hall, of the Arion Singing Society, when about 150 active singers of the society, who had taken part in the mammoth concert given 1 by The Eagle to the school children on the honor roll, at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory on Sunday, December 22, sat down to a real German "Kommers" and supper. The affair was given after the rehearsal of the society, The singers were just rehearsing the "Grals Feler," from which they intend to sing at their big concert at the Academy of Music on March 31, when Arthur Claassen, the musical director of the Arion, introduced Harris M.

Crist, the news editor of The Engle. He came, he said, to thank the Arion singers who had helped to make The Engle concert such an overwhelming success. He tendered the hearty thanks of The Eagle to the Arion and especially to its conductor, Mr. Claassen, who had charge of every feature of the programme. Then the singers were invited to be the guests of The Eagle for the remainder of the evening.

President Max C. Budell Talks on the Press and Criticism. Later, after the singers had gathered at the long tables, Max C. Budell, the well known German leader and president of the Arion, made an address. He spoke of the relations between the press and the singing societies, and of just and unjust newspaper criticism.

"There is one thing about The Eagle," Mr. Budell said, "that should win the sympathy of every Arion member from the very beginning, and that is the principle of this great newspaper, that nothing in the world is too good for its readers. Here The Eagle and the Arion meet on ground for the simple reason that same principle holds common, good with the Arion and its leaders, who don't know of anything in the world that would be too good for its members. I have the pleasure tonight, to greet the news editor of The Eagle, Mr. Crist, and I hope, that he will enjoy our company as well as we do his." Mr.

Budell's speech was received with cheers and the singers gave The Eagle a real German "Hoch!" and a musical sendoff with all. the German "Kommers" honors, such as "salamanders," etc. Then Arthur Claassen rose and spoke of his personal experiences with The Eagle. "I am a man who has traveled a great deal," said Mr. Claassen, "and who has seen Europe as well as this part of the globe.

Wherever I went I found The Brooklyn Daily Eagle. When in Paris I was shown a huge building with the sign 'Brooklyn Daily and you cannot imagine what a feeling of comfort this gave me. I felt that I was at home in that great city. Of course, the thing was most anxious to do was to secure as many copies of The Eagle as I could get and sit down in that foreign country and devour all the news of my home city, Brooklyn. While on the road to the West I also found The Eagle at every town I visited.

At Yellowstone Park read in The Eagle that Mayor Gaynor was shot, and at San Francisco I found The Eagle everywhere. This, my fellow singers, proves that The Eagle is not only a home paper, but also a paper of worldwide fame. "For many, many years It has been principle of The Eagle-the only paper that kept its price up and did not follow the penny papers of Brooklyn and Manhattan, for the simple reason that it was sure that the news it contained was worth the price--to take a general interest in education and public welfare. It was for this reason that The Eagle came out with the great idea of tendering a concert to the school children, in order to create within them a feeling of love and sympathy for good music. When we had arranged the big affair we were sorry to find that a few of the Sunday school teachers did not favor the idea of Sunday afternoon concert.

At that time. however, matters had been arranged to the final details, and a change in the programme or time would have been an impossibility. "I feel sure, gentlemen, that the Sunday school children who missed their lessons on account of The Eagle concert were not sorry for this fact, and, after the enormous success of the concert. also feel sure that those parents who kept their children from the concert are today regretting the fact. I must say that never in my life have I had more sympathetic listeners, and tears were my eyes when I turned to see those thousands of little tots gazing at the stage and eagerly listening to the songs." a In following Mr.

Claassen, Henry Fuehrer, the honorary president of the Arion, said that it was the singers who felt proud of the occasion and who would count it an honor to have more of The Eagle's representatives as their guests the very near future. After the choir the Arion had sung the two great folksongs of Germany and of der Heimat" and "Old Black Crist was again requested to speak. After thanking the singers once more on behalf The Eagle, he told of what he considered the chief benefit of the concert. "Two results were obvious." he said, "the first being the creation of the most ennobling influence of life--a love for good music-among the 20,000 children who attended the concert, and even more gratifying than this, the second, was the establishment of a close bond of friendship between the Arion and The There were a number of other speeches before the affair was closed, Mr. Budell, the toastmaster, ending it with another talk of congratulation to The Eagle for the service it had rendered the comone munity.

REV. W. P. HILL RECOVERS. The Rev.

William Powell Hill, who was seriously injured in the subway in Manhattan on November 5, and who has been in St. Vincent's Hospital under treatment since, has SO far recovered that he will be brought home to his rectory in Brooklyn tomorrow.

HADN'T ASSAULTED MC DONALD The four men who were arrested early Monday morning in a cafe at 257 Prospect avenue, after there had been a general mix-up, and John McDonald, 24 years old, of 5325 Fifth avenue, had informed the police that he been assaulted, were discharged by Magistrate Nash in: the Fifth avenue court today.

HEALTH IS BROKEN BY LONG HOURS Could Neither Eat Nor Sleep and His Nerves Were Wrecked. AS GOOD AS I A REST CURE Is Tona Vita, One Bottle of Which Restores Sleep and Appetite.

"Physicians from the very earliest days have always claimed that the day should be subdivided into eight hours' work, eight hours' play and eight hours' sleep," said John Beazley Webb, the London expert who is assisting in the introduction of the new tonic, Tona Vita, in Greater New York. "This is program that Nature intended the body to follow out, and any deviation from this plan is bound to result in ill-health. Many of the statements we have received from Brooklyn people who have rived benefits from Tona Vita clearly state that the cause their ill-health could be laid to over overworking. wenT The following statement made by J. Sheehan of 122 Stuyvesant Brooklyn, is fair proof of this: 'Business compelled me to work from 16 to 18 hours a day during the past summer, and it left me in such a condition that I could neither eat nor sleep and my nerves were in an awful condition.

After reading of the wonderful results Tona Vita had brought to others, I thought I would try, a bottle of it. 'I have just finished one bottle and I must say the results are wonI derful. I have regained my a a appetite and once more know what a good night's sleep is. "'I would not hesitate to mend Tona Vita to anyone, and intend to continue using it until I feel that am in perfect "Other signs of Nervous Debility induced by overwork," the expert went on to say, "may be pains in the head or back, sudden fits of dizziness, a feeling of mental depression, bad dreams, loss of memory and ambition, or that 'run-down' feeling. Tona Vita has obtained splendid results in any of these cases, and the local drug stores are reporting extremely satisfactory sales." "-Adv.

HOLDEN, 25 W. 23d, nr. 5th Av. WOGAN A WINNER IN APPELLATE COURT Unanimously Affirms His Title as Chief Clerk of Kings County Court. WOODWARD WRITES OPINION.

Deposed Clerk's Claim to Right to Hold Office Until July, 1916, Is Upheld. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court today declared the "ripper legislation" of 1911, in so far as it concerns the chief clerkship of County Court to be litigation-proof. the decision they the hold of John T. Rafferty, Republican, on the clerkship job, becomes more and more precarious and the prospects of Thomas F. Wogan, Democrat, brighter.

This is the second victory for Wogan. The Appellate Division is unanimous in afirming his title as chief clerk, which was given him at special term. Justice Woodward writes the opinion of the court. Hugo Hirsh represented County Clerk Devoy, who ousted and appointed Rafferty, and ex- County Clerk Henry P. Molloy, who secured "ripper legislation," appeared for Wogan, his appointee.

Wogan, after being secured the consent of the Atousted, torney General to bring a quo warranto and he claims that his fiveproceeding, appointment, made in July, 1911, year expire until July, 1916, and that Rafferty is holding the job without lawful warrant. In his memorandum Justice Woodward that there is only a question of says law in the case, the facts being ample and undisputed. The legal question, Justice Woodward adds, "is clean cut and sharply defined, although presenting Interesting, aspects for discussion." "It says Justice Woodward, "that the sole question involved in the solution of this controversy is, whether the acts of the Legislature which assumed to confer authority upon the County Clerk of Kings County, whoever he might be at a given time, to appoint for the chief clerk of the County Court a period extending beyond the County Clerk's own term of office, was in conflict with any express or necessarily implied or prohibition of the State Constitution. If the laws in question are repugnant to constitutional limitations, they must be declared null and void. While courts approach determination of constitutional questions with a presumption in favor of the of a given Legislative act, they should not hesitate, in the performance of their sworn duty, to hold the Legislature within the limits of power that have been imposed by the people themselves through their organic constitutional law.

"If, on the contrary, the laws referred to do not so trench upon constitutional restrictions, they are valid and must be given force and effect, regardless of consequences or other considerations, or of what our views may be as to the propriety of such legislation, or the motives which inspired it." After discussing the points presented by the counsel for Rafferty, the Appellate Division finds that there appears to be no constitutional prohibition against extending the term of office of an appointee of a given official beyond the term of the particular Incumbent making the appointment. On the other points raised by Rafferty's attorney the court takes the same view and Justice Woodward concludes his memorandum by sayIng: "In view of the importance of the questions involved on this appeal, however, we have not deemed it advisable to rest our decision upon this technical foundation, but have considered the controversy in its larger aspects and on the merits. and have come to the conclusion that the judgment appealed from must be affirmed." CLOSING IN ON 'ARSON Corroborated Evidence May Lead to Twelve Indictments. Assistant District Attorney Weller, in Manhattan, continued today the probe into the workings of the alleged "Arson and had before him Isidore Steinkreutzer, alias Isidore Stein, alias "Issy the Painter," the "frebug" recently tenced to serve from twelve to twentyfour years in State's prison, and on whose information the District Attorney hopes to be able to indict and convict the band. Mrs.

Steinkruetzer, wife of the convict, it is said, has given information corroborates that part of her husband's testimony telling of the meetings of the band of "firebugs" in her home and of the plans laid for Airing different houses, and that her corroboration practically completes the evidence which will bring into the clutches of the law at least twelve persons. including several fire justers who worked with the band.
