THE MARINE CORPS. BEORUITTNG OFFICE OPENED IN WILKES BAKRE. Major Biddlo, who Fought Willi Dewey at Manila, Is In Chargo fntcrcsting History ol this Branch of tho Navy, as Givon a Record Reporter by the Major Oldert Military Body in tho Rog ular Service Marines are not Sailors -The Cops' Part In Past Wars. Maj. W. P. BidJIe, U. S. M. C, who was in charge of the marine guard ofOlympia, Dewey's flagship, at the battle of Manila, and was a member of Admiral Dewey's staff, has opened a reel uiting office for marines in the Lansing building. This is the first time a recruiting office has been open ed in Wilkesbarre for the marine corps of the navy, and will give an opportunity to young men who have a desire to see the world and make a cruise on one of our warships, to en list here, instead of going to Phila delphia. . A Record reporter had an interest ing conversation with Mai. Biddle and i ... ... ' learnea that while so much is being written about the volunteer soldiers and the regular army and their enlist ments and preparations for service in the Philippines, many people are un aware that the United States Marine Corps of the navy is also busily engag ed in recruiting its corps up to the strength allowed by the last congress. viz., 6,000 men, and that by the time the rainy season is over in Manila there will be one or two regiments of marines there fully equipped and ready for any service ashore or afloat. Everyone knows what a sailor is and what a soldier is and does, but al though the marine corps is the oldest military branch of the United States Service, less is known about it gener ally than any other branch of the ser vice. The prospective recruit, when he arrives at the recruiting office and applies for enlistment, is told that he must be able to speak English, meas ure five feet four inches and weigh not less than 120 pounds. He then sees the recruiting sergant, who passes him along to the major, and next to the surgeon, and if he is accepted he is then sworn in and sent to barracks, where he is uniformed and equipped, and drilled. The Marine Guard, as it is called, of the Olympia consisted of one cap tain, one first sergeant, two sergeants, three corporals, two musicians and thirty-two privates. Post duty is the same as in the regular army, one post on the forecastle, another over the magazine, while a fourth was over the scuttle butt, with posts at the gang ways and cabin doors. The guard drills every day as infantry, in the company and extended order, move ments at the guns of main and second ary batteries, etc. At the battle of Manila Bay one sergeant and four privates manned a sixpounder gun. Two crews for five inch (main battery) and two crews for sixpounder guns, in reserve, were on superstructure deck with their officer, acting a sharpshoters with rifles. Six privates were posted along the upper deck keeping up communication with gun crews. One private was on for ward and another after bridge at speaking tubes. One sergeant and one private were orderlies to Admiral Dewey and one to Capt. Gridley. In every war in which the United States has been engaged the marine corps has served with faithfulness and gallantry. It is the boast of the ma rines that they are the oldest military body in the regular service of the United States, for they claim.not with out some foundation, to antedate both the army and the navy. This claim is based upon the act of the Continental Congress of Nov. 9, 1775, which pro vided that "two battalions of marines be raised, to be enlisted and commis sioned to serve for and during the "present war between Great Britain and the colonies, and to be considered as past of the continental army before Boston." These battalions were actu ally recruited independently of the army before Boston. During the revolution the marines were drilled into a highly disciplined body, actuated by a high sense of duty, and having a matchless esprit de How's This?

T., it, . l- 1 me (ujuiar minu, marines are synonymous with sailors. As a matter ot fact they are not sailors at all, but ..vsiwiwia ncivmg in snips, mey area part cf the naval force, tinder the inr isdiction of the Secretary of the Navy, uui mey are neveitheless a distinct organization from the navy proper, 1 inclines serve under tlicir own officers and wear a uniform different widely from that of the blue jackets. in iai.1, me uniicrm ot tne marine corps closely resembles that of the army, consisting of the familiar sky blue trousers and closely buttoned dark coat witn red trimmings. The marines take the greatest pride in meir personal appearance. Each uicuioer 01 me guard strives to be at all times the pink of perfection. His clothes always appear new, with the trousers creased as though fresh from the hands of a tailor. His belt is pipe clayed to a dazzling whiteness and his rifle is equally ready for parade or ac tion. This conscientious striving to ward scrupulous cleanliness has borne good fruit. Whenever this country has been called upon to send a detach ment of soldiers to compete with fore ign troops the marines are selected, because it is recognized that they will reflect credit upon the nation. At the last Paris Exposition the United States was represented by a company of ma rines under the command of Capt. Henry Clay Cochrane and Lieut. Paul St. Clair Murphy. Here they came into competition with all the crack troops of Europe, including many of the famous royal guards. For neatness of appearance, soldierly bearing and precision of drill the marines bore off the palm, being unanimously voted the superiors of all their competitors by the Paris papers of the day. It caused the heart of every visiting .nmcritan to oeai wun pruie to see American troops pointed out as model soldiers. So marked was this sunerior- ity that thi officers in charge were dec orated with crosses of the Legion of Honor. In the greatest of American maritime wars, that known as the War of 1812 with England, a marine guard formed part of the complement of every ship in the American Navy. At that time the marines were detailed as infantry, and in battle were placed in prominent positions, especially aloft to enable them by their accurate marks manship to pick off exposed men on the enemy's decks and thereby cripple the guns' crews. In those days ships fought, not as now, at ranges varying from three miles to half a mile, but yardarm to yardarm, and much de pended upon the coolness and skill of the marines in the tops, upon the few occasions when the English succeeded in boarding American vessels in ac tion, they were met with a withering fire from the marines, drawn up in a body. It was impossible to withstand these well directed volleys, and as the enemy oroke and fled, as they almost invariably did, their retreat was made disastrous by the charge across the deck ot the sailors, cutlass in hand, backed up by the fixed bayonets of the marines. The marines contribut ed greatly to the American victories that characterized that war upon the ocean. They took part in the engage ments between the Wasp and Frolic, the United Slates and the Macedonian and the Constitution and the Java, and in every instance the captains of the American ships testified to their valor and patriotism. Indeed their prowess contributed very materially toward the achievement of most of these victories. In the fight between the Constitution and the Guerriere. Lieut. Bush of the marines sprang up on tne tanrau ot uta ironsides in a gallant attempt to board the enemy and was instantly shot by an English marine the only American officer killed in the action. In the engage ment between the Shannon and the Chesapeake, which resulted in the de feat ot the American frigate and in the death of the immortal Lawrence, the marines covered themselves with glory. :t the beginning of the action there were forty-four men in the Chesapeak's marine guard. Fourteen including Lieut. James Brown were killed out right, and twenty others were wound ed. When the British boarded to take possession, it is stated that "the only men who behaved well were the marines," and yet there were only ten left to meet the British tars, who were pouring over the decks in great num bers. In the Mexican war the marines rendered meritorious service. It was in this war that Lieut. Heywood, now brigadier general commandant of the corps, achieved distinction. He com manded the garrison at San Jose and although fiercely attacked by an over whelming force of Mexicans, defended his position with such skill that he baffled all attempts to dislodge him. These marines not only succeeded in retaining their stronghold, but in a series ot brilliant sorties inflicted great of re nibor lit liiy never loss upon the encmyt they were be sieged for nearly six months but so great wa3 Ilcywood's tc r t ill ty source and so tireless were Ins dinatcs in their efforts to Keep the enemy, thai the Mcx cms gained a single adviniag'; a id forced to re t.rs.

Kudyard Kipling has mad famous the British marine in his roem 01 "Soldier and bailor too." But th : . . American marine nas never had ac corded him the credit which is due him.

The Week in Business- A . r ,. august lauures were smaller in numoer man lor any other month in six years, excepting May and July of this year, and smaller in amount than for any other month excepting Mav. June and July of this year. It hap pened that those months were excep tionally free from the large failures which come with little dependence on the existing state of business. In manufacturers August failures were me smallest in any month excepting way ot this year, and neither in thai 1 1. . i- urancn nor in trading was there sign of any weakness in any branch of business. In all important blanches of both, clothing stores possibly ex cepted, the absence of large failures was patttcularly significant. But if failure are few the volume of solvent business is heavy, with August clear ings 24.0 per cent, larger than last year and 55.4 per cent, larger than in 1892. 1 he astonishing feature is the mag nitude ot demand, notwithstanding prices which would ordinarily check it. T t , . . . in products directly consumed by in. dividuals, the larger employment and better wages of the working force give explanation. Efforts to meet the de mand call for more stores, manufact uring works and machinery and facili ties for transportation, as if every man's wages were in part diverted to build up the nation s machinery of manufacturing and distribution. The occasion promises quick profits, the building is largely for the future, and it goes on in spite of unusual prices. Educate Your Howels Willi Cimcaret. Candy Cathartic, euro constipation forever.

New moon falls on the fourth, the Central day ot the period, and moon will be on the celestial quarter ot the fifth. During the first part of this period a very warm wave will move out from Western parts of the continent, the barometer will fall in same sections, and from about the fourth to the seventh, progressively from west to east storms of wind, rain and thunder will visit most parts of the country. If these disturbances are purely continental that is, con fined in their origin and progress to inland, warm weather will continue after the storms. If equatorial storms are prevalent along our Jsouthern coasts and seas, there will be a mark ed change to cooler weathers, with probability of frost in regions to north ward immediately behind storm areas over the states. Weather bureau re ports ought to show all sections, in good time, whether equatorial storms are to be expected southward.
