Life Saving Medals,

Acting Secretary Wike recently requested
an opinion from the Attorney General as to
whether section II of the act of June IS
1873, authorizes the Secretary of the Treas
ury to bestow life saving medals for signal
exertions made in saving persons from
drowning in small inland streams, ponds,
pools, &c. The Attorney General has replied
that in his opinion the section referred to
does not confer such authority. Its terms are
vague and general" he says, but must be
construed in connection with other sections
of the same act and with other acts relat-
ing to the same subject master. So con-
strued, the waters contemplated by the
section are, in my Judgment, either the
high seas or what may be described as
waters Of the United States, l. e., waters
belonging to the United States as owner or
over which 1t has jurisdiction by virtue of
its authority to regulate interstate and for
eign commerce"

your carriage at the door and go in. You

1t comes to you to enjoy a new sensation.
Already You begin to feel uncommonly

Your soul peacocks with unusual brightness

beautiful intention to do a great deal of
good among the children, now you have

little sufferer on the head and tell him
that If he's good he'll go to heaven when
he dies, and you don't know but you'll press
the hand OF the matron or doctor, or who
ever Is In charge when you come away and
encourage him with your opinion that he's

THE CENTRAL UNION MISSION.
Arrangements for the Celebration of
the Fcnth Anniversary.

The Central Union Mission will observe
the tenth anniversary Of its organization
tomorrow evening at the New York Avenue
PTesby teriac Church. The mission was or
ganiZed ia an humble way ten years ag9nat
gp9 Pennsylvania avenue by a few men.
How the 50 per month for the rent of the
hall was To be obtained greatly perplexed
the minds OF the few who had banded them
selves together in the work; but the mission
work was a success from the start The
work Of the mission began to be the talk
of the town 1t was discussed in the
churches. and men Of means made volun-
tary offerings from their purses to help
along the good cause. AS time progressed
the dimensions Of the mission hall became
inadequate for the increasing attendance,
especially on Sunday nights, and a larger
hall was procured on the opposite side of
the avenue. the room now occupied by the
Salvation Army. There the work progressed
with Vigor and success
The mission has had from it's inception
the sympathy and confidence of the public
and the support of the churches 1t out
grew it's old home at $50 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and now. as II enters upon its tenth
anniversary, occupies building of Its own
which for the purposes intended Is one Of
II not the best in the country. 1t was the
former Seaton House and later the city post
Office building. Its location, on louisiana
avenue. Is central Inc - SIN
stories high, towering above all the other
buildings In the same block, and has an
imposing exterior appearance Its value Is
estimated at the round sum of 100000 The
entire building has been sufficiently repaired
to be available for use: an important Indus
trial department has been fully organized;
creditable dining room is in full operation
and sustains a large number of men and
women daily; the lodging apartments have
furnished shelter 10 more than 12QDO home
less men during the year; the women's de-
partment has been a blessing TO a small
army of friendless women: the laundry, run
by the women, promises to be an important
ally Of the Industrial department. A steam
heating apparatus for the auditorium has
been put In at cost OF over 800 and a
fire escape at a cost 500, a furnace at a
cost Of $llI and other repairs and improve
ments. the cost Of which can be hardly
estimated even, because the work was done
by unemployed men for lodgings and meals.
All this is a most wonderful record Mean
while. the spiritual work of the mission has
been kept up fully to the standard and the
numbers reached are beyond all previous
years. More than 100 persons have signed
the covenant card during the year. promis-
ing to lead the Christian life. This Is a,
