THE GERMAN MARINE FORCE.

The German marines consist of three
battalions, of which the First has its
garrison at Wilhelmshaven and the
Second at Kiel. The Third battalion
was formed in 1897 as a garrison for
Kiao-Chau, but received its separate
designa ton only in the following year.
Attached to the Third of Kaio-C hau
battalion is a specially organized de-
tachment of naval artillery. Last No
Vember an additional marine field bat
terry" was formed and attached to the
Third or Kiao-Chau battalion. 1t con-
slsts of three officers and one hundred
and eight nom commissioned officers and
men. A Chinese company of natives
has also been organized. It is one hum
bred and twenty men strong and is
quartered at Li-zun, on the frontier of
the German settlement at Kiao-Chau.
The Third or Kiao-Chau battalion is
maintained at war strength; the two
home battalions have hitherto been on a
peace footing. The total number Of
German marines provided for in the es-
Inmates of 1900 was seventy eight off,
GERS and 3.059 non-commissioned officers
and men, excluding the extra company
of one hundred and twenty Cinnamon.
At the head of the whole body of Ger
man marines is Major General Won
Hopfner with the title of inspector Of
the Marine Infantry and the rank of a
brigadier The First or Wilhelmshaven
battalion is commanded by Major Won
Madai, the Second or Kiel battalion by
Major Won Kronhem, and the third or
Kioa-Chau battalion by Major Christ.
AS has been already stated, the First
and Second battalions are about to
leave for China after having been
brought up to war strength by volun-
teers drawn from a large variety of reg
iments of the army.
The development of the German ma
rine infantry, as | have more than once
pointed out, deserves careful attention,
since it manifestly forms the nucleus of
force by which the vast resources of
the German army might gradually be
made available for the defence and ex-
tension of German interests and possess
sions in distant parts of the earth. In
the days when Germany was divided
and comparatively helpless, a German
political writer prophesied that if ever
the German race became united it
would furnish the greatest fighting ma
chine the world had ever witnessed.

with collars of conventional sorts are
as stylish as ever. The two dresses Of
this picture were makers models, and
their neck finish was not in the least
new tangled. And there are hosts Ike
them in this respect. The left hand
dress was red challe figured in pale
yellow. The skirt yoke and lower part
of the bodice were yellow satin Gov
cred with black lace and banded with
black ribbon. The ribbon also edged
the sailor collar, which enclosed collar
and V of the satin The midway sec
ton of lace covered satin was the
gowns striking feature. For this there
is full fashionable endorsement, and for
very tall woman it is becoming, but
short folk should avoid such sectional
devices as they would a plague. The
other dress was one of the jaunty
tailormade ducks. Turquoise blue was
its color and the trimmings were bands
and upper turn-down collar of white
pique. These suits are as jaunty and
handsome as fine broadcloth tailor suits
if only they are carefully made, but
and here's the rub-the making costs
just as much, Happily a woman whose
figure is not hard to fit can, in these
days secure satisfactory suits from
tailors whose charges are within reason.

FASHION NOTES.
A Trim ming for Tall Women

For those who will not be among the
first to accept bare throat finish to
high neck gowns, there are made trans
parent choker collars of lace or net. AT
the edge is tied band Of black velvet
or some bright touch of color. Some
such addition is necessary, else the
transparent collar would seem to
thicken the neck unduly. Then there
are wire collar frames to set in no.
collar gown and hold up lace scarf.
When the scarf is in place In stock
fashion about the neck the frame does
not show.
Neither the bare throat or no-collar
finish is necessary. Bodies prepared

According to the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter, three hundred and
seven mills Were begun or proposed in
this country during the first half of
this year. The figure exceeds any re-
cent totals OF the whole number the
cotton mills form the greater part, and
more than three-quarters of those are
in the South. Even Oklahoma has one
plant to its credit, while Texas, Ten
nessee, Virginia and Arkansas have
several. In contrast it is noteworthy
that while Massachusetts has been
building again, States like Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Towa have not done much 70 install
textile industries within their borders
On the other hand Michigan, Califor-
MIA and Oregon are setting up plants
for the manufacture of wooden or mis-
ceIlaneous goods The growth of the
cotton goods industry in the South will
this year apparently exceed all previ-
GUS records. The North Carolinians
have put in operation, or soon will do
so, a total of fifty-seven mills, Geor-
gia is but slightly behind, South Caro-
lima precedes that State, and Alabama
follows.

A document of some interest was en-
tered for record at the Franklin penn
@sylvania) County court house a few
days ago. 1t is a deed conveying to
Judge jeremiah S. Black $40 acres of
land near Mercerburg by President
James Buchanan. The conveyance was
made in June, 1858, after Mr.. Buchanan
had retired from office, together with
Judge Black, who was in Buchanan $
Cabinet, first as Acknowledgement and
then as Secretary of State. The price
paid for the land by Judge Black was
$15,624. A story connected with this
transfer of realty says the Chambers
burg (Pennsylvania) Valley Spirit
showed the confidence that Judge Black
had in Mr.. Buchanan. The President
wanted to sell the land to the Judge
who said he would take it without see
ing it. President Buchanan insisted,
however, that he 60 to Franklin Coun-
ty and see the property. Judge Black
went to Chambersburg and stayed
few days with friends, after which he
returned to his home at York and made
the purchase without having seen the
land.

Two cars on the Tri-City railway,
one loaded with passengers, came to-
gether at S:15 this morning at the cor

badly, and one person hurt. Capt.

suddenly and unexpectedly. and caus-
ing such a terrific crash, almost pre-

To escape.
The cars involved in the wreck were
the No. 2, of the Elm street and Fair

Blame for the Accident.
Who is directly to be blamed for
the collision will require a company
investigation to determine. McClos-
key, motorman of the Elm street car,
says the Arsenal car was half block
west when he struck the curve, and
that it must have been travelling Mt
unusual speed to have caught him be-
fore he cleared the curve. johnson
evidently expected McCloskey to wait
for him to pass, but when he realized
he H~as wrong in his surmise, he APP
piled the brakes, but it was too late
To avert the wreck.
There were no passengers on the
Arsenal car. Every seat in the Elm
