Chicago, July 26.-Fifteen hundred
lives lost in the Eastland horror
this was the estimate made to-day
by Coroner Hoffman. It was support
ed by other officials after a census
had been taken of the dead, identi-
fled and unknown and the missing.
500 Bodies on Ship.
Heroes of the ship disaster, po-
licemen, firemen and volunteer divers
explored lower sections of the great
steel tomb and concluded that 500
bodies were still locked within the
hull Others are believed to be pinn,
ed under the boat at the bottom of
the river The difficulty of extri-
eating the greater number of these
bodies did not daunt the divers, who
determined to continue their eff
forts to bring up the dead until the
EastIand is raised to facilitate their
task.
-Four bodies were brought to land
at the scene of the disaster this af-
ternoon. One, the body of a boy,
was lifted out of the boat at the
forward end. The bodies of two
men, each about 40 years old, were
taken from the river by searchers
in police boats. The body of a girl
IA years old, was found in the mid
die of the river near the Eastland.
The child had blonde hair and wore
4 white dress.

Wastaae and the Consumer.

Oversupply cuts prices, especially
when the product is perishable. But.
the Cutting of city markets with
country produce does not lower the
cost of living. On the contrary, the
consumer pays for the necessary vast
age. Cooperation among farmers and
coordination In distribution is there
fore as much to the advantage of the
city dweller as of the producer. This
is the moral pointed by Doctor Meeker
before the American Economic associ-
alton. The unorganized condition of
the farming industry is one of the
causes of the high cost of living. The
agricultural departments OF nation and
state are busy teaching the farmer
how to raise bigger crops. how to Sc
cure better yields of garden truck.
This alone is teaching him how to lose
more money and how to increase the
cost of living in the city. When these
governmental agencies teach the farm
ers how to market their crops we will
have the apparent contradiction OF
higher profits for the farmer and lowes
cost of living for the city folk-Nev

Borneo Pirates.

Brunei, Borneo, is one of the strang-
est cities in the world. Once the
headquarters of the Borneo pirates, 1t
is a kind of eastern Venice, being
built entirely over the water. This
remarkable city is the capital OF the
state of Brunei, Borneo. All the
houses are built over the River Linn
bang, constructed on slender piles
made from the Nibong palm, a wood
that resists the action of water for
many years. The inhabitants OF
Brunei are Malays. Kadayans, Orang-
Buskits, and a few Muruts. They
earn their living mostly by trading
with other tribes in the interior of
Sarawak and British North Borneo.
Some of them are very skillful brass
workers, and the Brunei women make
beautiful cloth, interviewer and en-
broidered with gold thread. Sage is
grown in the valleys near by, and a
small quantity OF rice is also raised.
In the early part OF the nineteenth
century Brunei was the rendezvous of
the dread Borneo pirates, and a mar
ket for the slave trade.-Wide World
Magazine.

Science Museum.

Several groups of objects of special
interest as illustrating appliances
used in war by sea, land, and air
have been brought together in two
rooms in the Science museum, South
Kensington, London. Perhaps the
most striking of these are the series
Of models of types of British warships
and OF British and foreign aircraft
Among the former are models of sew,
eral well-known ships, including a
model of his majesty's ship Good Hope
and one of the dreadnaught battleship
his majesty's ship Monarch, the latter
recently added to the collection on
loan. Submarines are represented by
drawings and photographs. With sew
eral of the models in the aeroplane sec
ton there are fu1l-size engines and
parts. The enemy's aircraft are rep
resented by general model of the
monoplane, which was
the chief German army machine at
the beginning of the war, and dia-
gram drawing Of Zeppelin.

WINK, WITH GLASS
EYE, STIRS U. S. IRE
Accused Of Misusing Mails in Ad-
vertising for Wife When He
Had One.
EXACTING In DEMANDS.
Cupids Columns Correspondent Cuts
Queer Capers.

Uncle Sam does not wish to dis
courage matrimony, but he does object
when a young man who already has a
wife uses the mails to get another one
and especially when that young man
represents himself as young, whole and
healthy, and is then found to have a
glass eye.
Such, the Federal authorities say,
is the case of Charles Z. Wink. one
eyed young electrotyper, who was ar
rested by Postoffice Inspector Schaef-
fer yesterday in New York city, and
sent to the Greenwich street police
station over night on a warrant issued
by United States Commissioner Hough-
ton, charging Wink with violating the
postal laws by signing false name to
communications sent through the Uni
ted States mails.
Wink, however. insisted to Assist
ant United States Attorney Edwin NJ.
Stanton that he was not trying to
hoodwink the girls with whom he cor
responded. He merely wanted a wide
field of choice, he said, in selecting a
successor to his present wife, whom he
intended to divorce If he found matri-
monial APPLICATION he approved of.
Wink, Assistant United States Attor-
ney Stanton says, always tried to in
duce his correspondence to come to
New York city. In at least one case,
it is believed, he was successful. He
advertised, it is charged, in "Cupid's
Column" of st. Paul. Mimi; the Polot,
of Franklin Park, ILL.,. and the Cores
pondent, of Toledo, Ohio,all of which
are periodicals devoted exclusively to
the publication of matrimonial adver-
tisements.
His advertisement in the Correspond
ent in June, 1914, proclaimed him to
be young man of good education and
an electrician who travelled in the
best society. He also laid claim to
considerable property, some money, in
bank and a $4,000 yearly income, a
Jolly disposition, some ambition and a
love for music.
He was correspondingly exacting in
his demand for certain qualities in his
prospective wife, who, he insisted,
should be about Is years old, feet
inches tall, tlond, of good health and
good education as we'll as an accom-
plished pianist and singer, having a
view to early matrimony.
Captivated by the advertisers de-
scription of himself, the daughter of a
letter carrier at Mayville, Chautauqua
county, N. Y, is said to have answered
the advertisement and to have entered
into correspondence with Wink, who
signed himself Paul Ault. Wink, in
his letters to the girl, it is charged,
addressed ker endearingly as Mar
guerite. Wink lives at 24C West 145th
street, New York city. His wife gave
the Federal authorities much of the in.
formation on which he is being pros
ecuted. She said she worked as a
cigarmaker to help pay the expenses
of the household. Wink will be ar
raigned before United States Commis-
sioner Houghton yesterday morning.

Jam and aHuIIy Beef" for British.

The amount of jam that the British
soldier is eating on this campaign has
attracted the notice of all the foreign
newspaper correspondents, American,
Belgian and French, who have seen
for the first time the British soldier
in war. The supply of this particular
delicacy seems to have been unlimit-
ed. With jam, bully beef" biscuits
and tea, the British soldier seems able
to go anywhere and do anything. No
doubt jam is excellent food and, to
a certain extent, l fancy that it re-
places fresh vegetables. The first
campaign in which jam played a no.
ticeable part was the second Boer
war.
In Peninsular and Crimean days
freshly killed beef and biscuits were
usual rations of the troops; but the
travelling field kitchens on wheels
which now accompany all regiments
and batteries have improved the Brit.

Extinction Of the Wild Pigeon on a

"Time does change the order Of

grocery store over at the Cape one
evening last week, "and some Of the
changes that are hardly noticed or
even known by most Of the younger
people Of today are In many ways re-

take, for instance, the wild pigeon
that was to be found In almost every
patch Of woods In the state when I
was a boy; there is not one TO be
found In the entire country east or
west Of the Rockies today, and one
OF the departments at Washington has
offered a large reward for anyone
who will produce or tell where a nest
Of the wild pigeons can be found.
"As l said they were very plentiful
In these parts back In the SOS and
many were found In the sos and early
'70s, but today not one can be found
In the United States. The cause Of
all this lies In the fact that many
people carried on the business Of trap
by the name of Plummer did this to
such an extent that he came to be
known as Pigeon Dave Plummer. The
traps were so arranged that hundreds
of the birds would be caught at one
spring Of the trap. and when one
comes to think that this business was
carried on all over the country. It is
easy to see how In years their mum.

"On the other hand" said another
Of the party, Comparatively a few
years ago we had never heard Of such
a bird as the English sparrow, and
today they are as thick as white weed
In a poor mans pasture"
Speaking Of white weed" said the
first speaker. reminds me OF the time
I went to school way up on what is
now Highland avenue, and white weed
was just making its appearance in
the fields. It was not very plentiful,
however, and remember that farm

fresh from the front. The black sheep
of the regiment stood before his com.
manding officer charged with being
drunk. He stoutly denied the of
fense, and there was only one witness
"a sergeant-to prove it. However,
the records showed IL previous con.
victions for the same offense. "You
are a hardened and habitual offend.
er," said the colonel sternly. "I can't
take your denial against the ser.
geant's word" The prisoner turned
to the sergeant-witness and asked:
Have you ever been drunk?" On re-
ceiving an emphatic negative, he
turned to the colonel again. "Ser-
geant says I was drunk; I says I
wasn't. / ask yer, colonel, which is
