CAPT. WINCHESTER,
HERO OF SEA, DIES
East Orange Resident Was One
of Best-Known Ship
ping Men.

Death yesterday termina ted the ca
reer of one of the best known men in
shipping circles on the Atlantic coast,
when Captain James Henry Winches-
ter died in his eighty-ninth year, of
the infirmities of age, in his home, 2S
State street, East Orange.
The veteran of the sea had an in
teresting career from the day when,
as lad of TO- he ran away from
home in Eastport. Me-. only to re-
turn at the age of 81, a full-fedged
sea captain. until his retirement from
the sea at the age of 80, to take up a
business life.
Captain Winchester continued in
the ship brokerage business up to
fifteen years ago, when he retired
and ten years ago, after being wild
over ten years, married Mrs. Hunt.
Ever since that time the couple re-
sided in East Orange.
Lovers of sea romance will recall
how the good ship Marie Celeste
full rugged and with all sails set,
was found about sixty-five years ago
off the Straits of Gibraltar with not
a man aboard, by Captain Win
chester and his crew, and was towed
to the coast of South America, pro-
curing him a big salvage. No sat
| .sfactory explanation has been forth
coming in all these years Of what
happened to the captain and crew of
the Inflated vessel, and it goes down
| in history as a mystery of the sea.
| Captain Winchester was head of
! the firm of James H. Winchester &
| Co., New York city, until his retire
ment fifteen years ago. The house
at first was located in South
street and later near the prod
uce Exchange. He was a member of
the Board of Pilot Commissioners, of

change and the Maritime Associa-
ton Of the Port of New York. He
leaves a widow and daughter, Mrs
Joseph C. Noyes, of Brooklyn. The

No one can be well and healthy

with disagreeable, annoying bladder

and feel all wornout; puffy swellings
show under the eyes or in the feet
and ankles; and many other sypm-
toms are noticed. If they are neg

may result.
1t is not only dangerous, but need

Collection Rich in Blue and
White Pottery.

when one views a collection of
china or Faience one cannot fail to
ask oneself the question, why do
| men spend their money for such
fads?'"
This remark came from the lips of
gentleman who was examining the
treasures of the Rev. Dr. Pleasant
Hunter, of Newark, now being sold
at the American Art Galleries in East
Twenty third street, New York. One
glance at the man who spoke would
have satisfied any connoisseur that
he was one of the type who would
stride through the far-famed under
ground passages of Dresden laden
with their priceless samples of pot
terry, representing art production of
hundreds of years without look OF
word save one expressing indif-
ference or wearied impotence.
DR.. Hunters collection, which is of
notable interest as including pieces
which rarely are to be seen at sales
in this country, shows his catholicity
of taste. 1t is. however, exceedingly
rich in blue and milky white pottery
Lustre ware is also we'll represented,
especially the copper lustre
But in this respect there are COL
lections which far surpass this one
For instance. in one of the old Went
worth homes in Portsmouth there IS
a complete set of Chelsea lustre, more
than hundred pieces, not one of
which has ever been broken since the
time when 1t was brought from Eng
land at the order of the historic gov
ernor of New Hampshire, immor-
talized by Longfellow. 1t is such as
sociations as this that make old china
IF interest to humanity. 1t is the
hands that have touched it, those
who have cherished it, or those whose
food it has borne whose memories
hallow the delicate clay
Thus. when Chinese bowl of the
Kang period, between 300 and 400
years old was broken in a New York
home the other day there was mourn
ing, not because the antique object
was destroyed, but because it was

ASK STATE TO REJECT
WEST ORANGE REPAIRS
Say Gregory Ave. improvement
Is Not Up to Specifications.

Protesting against the acceptance OF
the improvement Of Gregory avenue,
West Orange. but the State, claiming
the specifications had not been COM
piled with by the contractor, several
property-owners Of the avenue at
tended a hearing held by the free
holders road board, at the Court
House. yesterday, and explained their
stand In the matter before State
Road Supervisor Edwin A. Stevens
and Deputy State Road Supervisor B.
NJ Vail.
Alexander r. Fordyce, Of West Or
ange. said that the trouble was
chiefly in the matter of drainage, and
that stagnant water was at the sides
of the road for some time after every
rainfall this condition coming from
the uneven grading of the cutters.
Mr.. Fordyce also claims that the road
itself is unevenly graded.
That the road constructed was not
satisfactory to the freeholders either
was cleaned from the discussion, but
as Colonel Stevens pointed out, the
county had not offered 1t to the State
for acceptance.
Chairman Gilbert promised the
property-owners that the matter
would have the prompt attention OF
the board.

'MR. wilson CAN'T
HURRY THE NATION
brisbane Says His Super
abundant Talk Should Not
Brighten the Country.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. S1.-Ar-
thur Brisbane, who was principal
speaker at the Traffic Club here last
night, said some sarcastic things
about Woodrow Wilson. The Presi-
dent-elect, Brisbane said. should not
frighten the nation just because he
talks too much.
so far as 1 have been able to see,
neither Mr. Wilson nor anybody else
Is really able to affect the country"
said Brisbane. 1.-THE Steel inquiry is
bigger than any man and the business
OF big city is bigger than any
man.
1.-The only effect that Mr. Wilson
can produce is by rather free peda-
gogica1 discourse to worry some of
the biggest men who hand the worry
down to the smaller fry.
"A nation and it's industries are
a gigantic slowly force and
the individual. Mr.. Wilson or any
body else, effects them about as much
as tourist with an alpine stick and
fancy feather In bis hat affects the
slow moving glacier.
Mr. Wilson means well. When
he is hitched up in his official har-
ness, hears from lawyers what he
cannot do, finds himself busy with
diplomats, battleships used as pri-
vate yachts, army promotions, deal
ing out offices, etc., he will decide
that a country intelligent enough to
make him President is doing pretty
well, and he will go along as Presi-
dents usually do, sitting on top of
the big national glacier, moving with
1t at its own gait, in its own direc-
tion-soon realizing that the Presi-
dental tourists sojournins for few
years in the White House cannot
hurry or steer the nation"

and sugar box. These treasures are
as perfect as when they came from
the hands of the artist.
The historical china is of great
beauty Some of the blue platters
and plates, azure, medium and the
darkest lapis zuli, would attract the
attention of the veriest tyro. One
of these plates is very rare. 1t is
of the willow pattern and presents
picture of the James Kent steamer
North River, the ship in which the
Marquis de Lafayette made the trip
to Poughkeepsie, an event still talked
of in that beautiful borough, which
still clings to the aged Mary Powell

1t seems, might have been a con-
temporary of the North River.
One of the specimens of Minton

Cupids and neurological subjects are
worthy of the French school of the

lively DEBATE ON !
SCHOOL PROJECTS
Irvington Board OF Estimate
Has a Spirited
Session. I

At the meeting of the Trv1ng1ea
Board of School Estimate, held last
night in the Central grammar school,
the resolution for the erection of an
eight-room annex to the present
Grove Street public school was car
ried unanimously, but only after con-
siderable discussion. The council was
represented by Mayor David H.
Greene and Councilman Charles
Hartkopf, and the Board of Educa-
ton by Commissioners McCHnchle
and Folsom.
Two resolutions were before the
board, one for the eight-room an
mex to the Grove Street school and
the other for the erection of ar eight
room school on the site of the Au-
gusta street ground. which has been
purchased by the Board of Education
for $1,000. Commissioner Folsom in
moving the adoption of the resolution
for the Grove Street school, declared
that inasmuch as the Grove street
section was considered previously to
the other section and the citizens
had been promised during the last
primary and general election that
additional school facilities Would be
given them, he favored the building
of this school without further de-
lay. When sufficient funds could be
raised, he said, the Augusta Street
school should be erected.
Councilman Hartkopf, of the Third
ward, approved the attitude of Mr..
Folsom. He declared the Grove
Street School section is the most con-
gested in the town, and unless re-
lief is quickly given the lack of school
facilities there will soon be intoier-
able.
Commissioner McClinchie main
tanned that while it could not be de-
MED that school conditions were de-
plorable in the section referred to
by Mr.. Folsom and Mr.. Hartkopf he
insisted that similar conditions pre-
vailed in the other section, where five
classes are on half time at the pres
emit.
Mayor Greene took the Board of
Education to task for recommending
the building of two schools at the
present.
1.-THE board knew very WELL" he
said, that both of these recommen-
dations could not be carried out, as
the funds available at the present
time are not sufficient. 1t seems to
me from its action that the board
was trying to saddle responsibility
upon the Town Council which in no
way belongs to it,"
Mr.. Greene also insinuated that he
thought the purchase of the Augusta
street school site was little prema-
ture. 1t necessitated the borrowing
of the money by the Council at in
terest.
Commissioner Folsom said he be-
lieved that the investment was a
profitable one, even if the land were
not utilized within a year. He said
he also believed that after the
budget for the ensuing year is made
known, and funds are found to be
available. school may be completed
in time for occupancy in the fall.
s ct am. however, first. last and all
the time for the immediate erection
of the Grove street annex" he said,
in conclusion.

DEMOCRATIC CLUB DENIES
CRITICISM OF COUNCIL
BellevilIe Organization Member
Sarcastic About Republicans.

Members of the Belleville Demo-
cratic Clubs resolution committee
are explaining today why they sent
suggestion to the Town Council
about the selection of an architect
for the proposed 100000 Town Hall
and why the suggestion varies from
the councils action. After the coun-
ell had made provision for three
architects it received the Democratic
Clubs resolution suggesting that the
appointment be open to all through
competition, with one architect to act
as a judge.
AS the council is Republican, some
Belleville people took the resolution
as criticism of its action. The club
explains this by declaring the resolu-
ton was formed before the council
took action, but owing to delay in
tipping the document the council did
not receive it until after its session.
One of the members said it would
be impossible for the club to know
what action any committee of the
council intended to take, as it is the
policy of that body to do things
secretly
