Finds One of His Sisters.
After some difficulty. as the man could
hardly speak from the intensity of his
grief. ii was learned that he was Jacob
Goldstein. and that he was searching for
his two sisters. In coffin No. Z21 he had
recognized the body OF his sister Lena
but he was unable to identify any of the
other bodies as that Of Mary. 1t is sup
posed that her body is still in the build
ing.
Anthony MidaIo, giant OF a man. who
lowered high above the, shoulders of the
others in the place, broke down and
sobbed like a child when he identified
the body in coffin No. 1N as that of his
daughter Gertrude, sixteen years old
She had been working in the waist
factory. he said, for two years, and was
his only child. The mans grief was one
of the most pathetic sights of the day.
Many visited the pier carrying photo
graphs of their relatives to help in the
work of identification. Isaac Kaplan was
one of these. and in coffin No. 142 he
found the body of Julia Oberstein, nine
teen years old. who was his sister-in-
law.
been found in the bottom of the elevator
shaft in the building locked in each
others arms were identified as Lucia
and Sarah Maltese. Serafino Maltese, the
father. and his son Joseph made the
identifications.
I'VE are also looking for our mother"
said the boy. whose face was as white
as chalk. but We can't find her"
No Trace of the Body.
A thorough examination of all the bod
les OF women was made, but there was
no trace of that of Mrs. Maltese Her
body is believed to be in the building, or
was possibly utterly destroyed in the
flames.
The mothers name is Catherine and
she worked on the same floor with her
two daughters. The fremen who found
the bodies of the girls. however. said
that there was no body of a woman near
them.
AS soon as a body is identified the top
board of the coffin is nailed on and it is
placed to one side. The relative who has
made the identification is then given
yellow card and sent to an office on the
street end of the pier, where Coroner's
Physician Weston takes down the pedi
gree and description of the victim.
After this the main morgue is visited
by the person claiming the body and
permit for its removal is issued. This
is intended to be given to the undertaken
hired by the family for the funeral ar
rangements and the body may then be
removed by him.
This part of the work is in charge. of
Coroner Holtzhauser, who gave it as
his opinion that the work of identification
would probably be continued for two
weeks. Several of the bodies, he believes,
will never be identified, as they are
burned beyond recognition.

Successful Economy in Baking.

Most housewives assume when they buy
a big can OF baking powder at a low price
that they have been economical. They
have to slight extent-but when they
use that cheap big can" baking powder.
and find it SO uneven in quality. or SO un.
reliable that the baking falls. there isn't
SO much economy in 1t after all. for the
wasted materials far outweigh the few
cents saved in the price.
SUCCESSFUL economy, is In the reach
of every woman that desires 1t. She has
only to order Calumet Baking Powder.
and use 1t according to Instructions. Then.
she will achieve economy. For not only
does Calumet sell at a reasonable price
&c per pound-but It Is SO carefully made
by experienced chemists that failure Is
impossible. Only the best materials arc
used and the proportions of the ingredi,,
ents are SO exact and so UNIFORM that
EVERY baking comes from the oven,
light, sweet, and beautifully raised. Calu,
met guarantees you against failure, and
that Is what constitutes real economy In
baking.
Why not use Calumet, a baking powder
that you can always rely upon? You can
get no better at any price; for at the
Worlds Pure Food Exposition, Calumet
received the Highest Award.
