East orange School Board Faces New
School Expense Problem.

A special meeting of the East Orange
Board of Education has been called for to-
night for the consideration of figures sub
mitted by contractors for the new Lincoln
School in the Fourth Ward, that city. The
Board of School Estimate voted to allow
the school board to expend 100000. but the
figures received last week went high over
his mark.
Conferences have been held lately, how
ever, and 1t is understood that tonight tho
plans will be a trifie altered, SO that the
building may be erected within the amount
allowed. The general lines OF the building
will not be altered, but there will be sew
eral minor changes In other parts. Nothing
will be allowed, 1t is said, to stop the erec-
tion of the Lincoln School, owing to the
demands of the residents Of the ward, who
say a school should be located there.
The president of the board, William G.
Thomas, Is a representative from the
Fourth, and as the alleged absence of
school facilities there has been made a
political issue, Mr.. Thomas says that work
will be started within a few weeks.
One of the next big requests that will
come before the Board of School Estimate,
it is said, will be that an appropriation
should be made to erect an ADDITION TO the
High School, located In Winans Street. The
way matters now appear, according TO Su-
perfntendent of Schools Vernon L. Davey,
halliday sessions may have to be held or
other rooms rented to the
children. The State law, he says, Is being
violated as regards air space and seats
have been placed in the atsles to make
accommodations, as told In this paper Sat
urday. There are nearly 100 more pupils
scheduled to appear when the school opens
than there are seats for, and M. Davey
expects that the State Board will be heard
from shortly on the matter.

FOR TWO MORE
IRVINGTON VETERAN LOSE
COMRADES.
John Baker and Edward A. Dold Latest
to Be Mustered Out of
LIES Service.

Two more Irvington veterans, John
Eaker, OF Sc Linden avenue, and Edward
A. Dold, of 2SS Cottage street, that town,
responded to the final taps yesterday aft
ernoon and Saturday night, respectively.
Together With William F. Otis. who was
buried Saturday afternoon, this makes
three of the aged Civil War survivors of
that town who have passed away In less
than a week.
Mr.. Baker, master of the famous old
warship San Jaclnto. during the Rebellion.
died after q long illness, at 4;20 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Complications re-
sulting from malaria contracted during the
war brought about his end. Mr.. Baker
suffered from an attack of yellow fever
cred. For the last year he was practically
confined to his home, but he did not take
to his bed till about a week ago.
The deceased was born In New York
city e1ghty-seven years ago. He took
early to ~seafaring life. and followed the
whales as an occupation. He was on a
cruise when the Civil War broke out, and
when he returned with the ship, of which
he was the captain, he enlisted with the
Federal forces. This was on August 26,
1861. For a while he was attached to a
recruiting office, but was later appointed
master of the San Jacinto. His duties car
rid him largely in Southern waters, and
his ship seized one prize. His vessel took
lAiA IL an vi tA0 AAAPOtt 6AE STD
ments under Farragut. and was engaged
in the chase that resulted in the capture
of Mason and Slydell, the rebels who
were dispatched to England to stir up
sentiment against the Federal forces, and
which Incident nearly involved this ma
ton in a war with that country.
In Florida he was taken III, and he was
mustered out November 4, 1865. He was
given a splendid sword in Appreciation for
his services by the officers of the San
Jacinto. He was a member of B. F. Mid
dleton Post. q A r. of BROOKLYN. and of
the Irvington Veterans Association. After
the war Mr.. Baker went to Brooklyn,
where he lived until fourteen years ago,
at which time he went to Irvington. He
was unable to work after he left the SER
vice of the navy.
The survivors are a widow. two children.
r. Baker, of this city, and q
daughter, Mrs. Leona NJ. Way, of Brook
lyn, and six grandchildren.
Edward A. bold lived in Irvington but
a short time, and comparatively little
could be learned of his history. He was 81
years old, and was born in France, coming
spent the greater part of his life in Phila-
and moved to Irvington about
months ago. During the Civil War he
fought with a Pennsylvania regiment. His
body will be taken to Philadelphia tomor-
row for the services, and he will be in
tered at Lebanon, Pa.
Mr.. Otis was buried from his home Sat-
urday. The pallbearers were postofice en-
ployees and members of the Irvington
Veterans Association. The Rev. William
Hainer, pastor of the Irvington Chris
tian Church, officiated, and interment was
In Fairmount Cemetery, this city.

and Patrolmen Gamble and Van lid

They threatened and coaxed without re-

door until he arrived, and when the Off

the woman threatened to kill them If they

The Eve Of the Crook.

Now You may or may not know 1t. says
an article by the late Josiah Flynt in
Success, but the confidence man OF tip-top
attainments cultivates the control and ex-
preston of his features with as much care
as does the professional beauty-this for
the reason that his looks are among his
most valuable assets. For the first stage
in turning a trick, . whether this be done
in a Broadway hotel or a downtown office
building, is for the operator to get a hold
on the confidence of his Victim by impress
ing him with his. the formers, frankness
and honesty through the medium of his
steady gaze. CHEEKY smile and sincerity Of
expression In general. But wise people
are not taken In by these things. Apart
from all else, those who have had much
to do with criminnls-whether mugged or
un~mugged-wil tell yon that there is such
a thing as the crook eye" which In
variably gives its owner away. 1t is, as
once heard n clever detective put il, IAN
eye behind the eye,'-a something sinister
gaze which the con- turns on his pros
pective gull.
