GERMAN sHIPBUILDING

In his report to the state depar.- ment, Consul H. w Dietrich at Ere men says:
 Within a comparatively short time great things have been accomplished in Germany in advancing her marine interests. With a spirit of enthusiasm and with extraordinary activity the builders and managers of German steamship lines set out to build up a fleet of merchantmen capable of com peting with that of any other nation. Wonderful, indeed, has been the ad- vance made in the size, in the number and in the speed and comfort of Ger man ships that now carry passenger and freight traffic to the most distant ports on the globe.
 This progress has been effected largely within the last decades. About the time that the Germans entered this field of building all those engaged in ship construction began to use steel and iron instead Of wood, and they were thus able to profit by the experience Of others. Their unprece- 1 den-ed success has eliminated in the twin screw Kaiser Wilhelm II. which was recently built and launched at S,ettin, and will start on it's maiden trip from Bremen to New York on ! April II. 1903. Not less than l10O0 Itons of steel and iron and other ship building material were welded and iriveted and hammered together at the Vatican yards to form this latest | ocean leviathan.
 The first Atlantic steamship which adopted a screw propeller in addition
 to the sidewheels was the world-Fe- nowned Great Eastern, built in the years 1S52-1S57.. The gradual elimina,
 ton of side wheel and the general
 adoption of screw propelIers for ocean
 steamers dates from that time. The
 improvement in the propeliing machin cry was equally marked, the simple " 44ANNl Sg SbtAI DSAAS SuppidAbCO HI Sl

that Mr.. Ebert Gore, civil and
hidraulic engineer, of Brownsville
be employed to superintend the
construction of the new sewer

Mr.. Gore has a high reputation
in this line of work and if he

rest assured that its interests are
well guarded.
As the contract price ofthe build

OF the peculiar magnetic disturb

very severe, the detection of the

found that this strange state of aF

\ DUTCHMAN'S GRAVE.

a Dutchnan who had meier before
Set foot upon foreign shore,
Weary of home and city scenes,
Went to war in the Philippines.
As soldier in the twenty-sixth
He soon was on to all the tricks,
He could not speak our English we'll,
Nor Spanish either, so they tell.
He went to bed at night and slept,
And in the daytime silent kept,
Until al last he Glanced to meet
A Filipino maiden sweet.
"You no haf matrinony got"
He asked her there up on the spot.
"No got Sedar," the maid replied.
And so became the Dutchmau' bride.
The "ffteen-sixty" that he drew
He found was not enough Tor two,
So for his discharge he applied,
But ere tcane, the Dutchman died.
There stands to mark his resting place,

This verse upon it painted red,
Tells the story of the dead:

Ownership of waterworiss Voted.

ITHACA, N. Y, March 3.-Yester-
days election on the question of mu
nicipal control of the waterworks of
ithaca resulted in overwhelming vic
tory for city ownership, there being
1886 votes in the affirmative and only
30 in the negative.
The result of the vote has brought
cheer to the town, where there was
much depression by reason of the fact
that during the past twenty.four hours
five persons have died in and around
ithaca, all of whom had contracted ty-
phoid fever in Ithaca. Seven new cases
were also reported. 1t is estimated that
there are GOO persons in Ithaca who
are suffering with typhoid fever and
probably 200 others elsewhere who
have contracted the disease here.
To date nineteen Cornell students
have died Of typhoid fever, of whom
eighteen were male students. This is
almost per cent OF the male students
in Cornell to die Of the fever within

A NEW POSTAL GARD.
For "Re,urn" Use With vgne,tes oi Shar.
man aod Sheridan.

The old return postal card has out
lived its usefulness and is TO be short
ly replaced bv another OF newer
and more elaborate design. On the
rev carl the vignette OF General
Giant, which appeared on both the
forwarded card and the return, is sue.
ceeded by those of Generals Sherman
and Sheridan.
On the tace of the forwarded card
is the face of General Sherman, with
the years "I8zo 1891" On the re-
turn card IS the face of General Sherl-
dan, with the years "I83t-I8S8."
The caution TO the sender: "This
side for address only together with
the "United States OF America, Reply
Postal" instead Of covering The space
between the stamp and the edge of
the card, is confined to corner in
small type, admitting of the two post
marks, SO important now in business
life. This innovation was recommend
ed By business meu throughout the
country to whom this matter of post
marks is often Of vital importance.
and 1t was through their efforts that
the design was finally accepted, Now,
instead of having one postmark on
the front, often obscured, and another
on the back Of the card, completely
obscured by the writing, the two post
marks will stand out on the front,
indicating the hour of receipt and de-
livery.
Another point to be Noticed about
the cards is the continuation of the
effort OF the Post Office Department
to make the new stamps and postals
constitute an object lesson in Ame,i-
can history.
