commissioners Sanction the Proposed
Rhode Island Avenue Grade.
The Commissioners to-day Issued an
order for the approval Of the poposed
porfile of Rhode Island avenue, as pre-
sented for acceptance by the Washington &
Maryland Railroad Company and assented
TO by the lexington & Soldiers Home Com
pany.
The profile involves the raising of the
grade of North Capitol street at Rhode
Island avenue by five feet, the lowering Of
the grade by fifteen feet at the intersection
of Lincoln avenue and the raising Of Fourth
street northeast by sevenfeet.
In the opinion of Capt. Fieberger, who
reported upon these changes, the final
grades will be benefited by adopting the
plan, and with the exception of that at
Lincoln avenue, the changes can all be
made without interfering with present in
terests.
As il will be impracticable at this time
TO grade down Lincoln avenue to the grade
of Rhode Island avenue, Capt. Fieberger
suggests that the company be required to
put in a substantial bridge the full width
of the street, and to keep it in repair until
the District sees fit to reduce the avenue to
the new grade.
An overhead bridge at Queens Chapel
road is recommended, to be maintained
until the street is abandoned and some
other street opened to take its place.
The profile was approved subject to the
conditions imposed in Capt. Fieberger's
report, and the company So notified

Despoilinga q Church.
New York. Aug. 19.-A special from Al.
bany says: Great surprise was caused in
Catholic church circles yesterday by the
arrest Of . young woman. who 10 charged
with being guilty Of stealing altar furni'
ture from Catholic churches. For two
weeks past the police have used every
means to discover the sacriligious per-
sons who broke into the cathedral Of the
Immaculate Con ception and six other
Catholic churches and stole scandelabra,
silver collection plates, candle sticks and
other articles from the affairs.
Saturday 1t was ascsrtained that a young
woman had been pasrmng the stolen altar
furniture, and yesterday Elizabeth Cra-
ven was arrested iof the thefts. The
thefts had become - frequent that some
persons thought that the A. p. A. wasguilty,
but the arrest Of the young Catholic woman
dispels that idea.

Incumbent of the title, on his visit to this
country made himself Immensely unpopu.
lar with the Wellesley girls. He did not
approve Of the higher education of women
and did not conceal his disapproval He
was shown through the classrooms and
laboratories, but could not be prevailed
upon to evince any enthusiasm. 1t
grieves me to see these young women
here, he said, for / know that their
home lives must have been unhappy; 9th
erwise they would not be here At last
he was taken to the gymnasium. "Ahi
this Ia better, he said as he examined the
light machines. "This gives them good
figures and improves their carriage. 1t in
creases their chances" When the girls
heard of this remark. they were indignant

faced each other and were less than 100
rods apart Birneys line advanced a
quarter of a mile without meeting picket.
At that distance it was fired upon by the
Confederates on its left flank Some con-
fusion resulted, but no halt was made.
The Union troops of the Twelfth corps
line, aroused by the Confederate volleys
and hearing the movement through the
cedars, also opened fire. Still Birney's
men pressed on, and the Confederates
along the plank road began firing at ran
dom among the cedars. The charging
companies halted and wheeled into line,
and with lowered bayonets the Fifth
Michigan rushed to the breastworks on
its front. They were carried at a bound;
but all the regiments were not so success
full. Part of them bivouaoked in the CO.
dars others retired, leaving alternate Un-
ion and Confederate regiments on the line
at the plank road. Next morning, while
forming lines to support the batteries
around the Chancellor House, Colonel Sher-
lock was killed. The regiment lost 81
dead and wounded at Charlottesville,
nearly all of them in the midnight attack.
The Fifth marched ten miles in three
hours to get into action at Gettysburg,
where its corps was attacked by Long
street. After getting in it performed
days work, as battles go, in one hour.
The colonel, major, two captains and six
lieutenants were shot down and 100 men
beside them. The survivors emptied their
cartridge boxes and then supplied more
from the belts of their fallen comrades.
Colonel Pulford recovered from his Get
tysburg wound and led the regiment in
the Wilderness. He was again wounded
there, and his successor. Major S. S. Ma
thews, also fell. In one week of fighting,
which included the Wilderness and Spott-
sylvania, the roster of 365 rank and file
was cut down to 200 by casualties in bat
tie. Soon afterward 300 men from the
Third Michigan were transferred to it's
ranks, and the organization was thus pre-
served to the end of the war. The total
number killed during the war was 263--
1879 per cent of the enrollment; of killed
and wounded, 1,01S, or 81 per cent of all
those enrolled.
One of the recruits transferred from the
Third to the Fifth in 1864 was Anna
Etheridge. the famous Michigan VIVIAN
diere. She had served in the brigade from
Williamsburg on and was we'll known to
the men of the Fifth Her record was the
most adventurous and is the best anthem
ticated of any daughter Of the regiment In
the Union army. General Brney decorat-
ed her with the Kearny cross with his
whole division paraded to give grandeur
to the ceremony. GEORGE L. KILMER

i'll starred ship. He was tho mate of the
ship and had stood the whole morning
waist deep in the freezing water in the
cabin holding his child in one arm ana
with the other supporting his sinking wife.
OF the men driven into the cabin, after
hauling until they we're exhausted on the
first line, two had died in the presence of
the mate and his helpless ones. The wom-
All was tho next to go down, and seeing its
mother floating lfeless on the water
which swayed under the motion of the
rolling vessel, the little one whispered
family to the broken hearted father,
Papa, won't God take us to shore." At
last the child perished in its fathers arms
Crazed with grief, he rushed from that
floating tomb to hide and await for death
Wulf found him in the other cabin lying
motionless in the water and dragged him
on deck, promising life If he would bear
hand to haul off the line that had been
made fast.
Cheered by the sudden appearance OF
these two when they feared that all on
board were dead the srrfmen again walked

current Stacked it toward the ship. That
line and also another broke. A third Was

rail Although both very weak, Wulf and
the mate hailed off the buoy, and tho lat
ter was placed in. Wulf sang out to the
life savers, Haul ashore!" standing by
the rail to slack the offshoro end as fast as
the buoy travelled. The mate was ba,lly
frost bitten and was hurried to the station
wrapped in blankets. The devotion OF
Wulf to his suffering shipmates was heroic
and his powers of endurance marvellous.
Unaided, for he alone remained alive, he
hauled the buoy off to the ship and was
saved.
The rescue of Wulf and the mate was
accomplished by hauling the buoy through
the surf, and an their clothing had already
been drenched and was frozen stiff from
the journey through the icy water the
poor men received shocks making them
unconscious. Not until after hours Of
treatment at the station could they tell
the hapless story, But there remained no
sign of life on the wreck from the moment
Wulf sprang into the buoy, and the life
savers gave their attention to the rescued
men. The vessel became total wreck.

With the CaraYan.

In the sandy deserts of the north whero
Journeys are made so much by night, the
feeling of melancholy Is often found to
prevail. On horseback or by mail cart on
the long, straight tracks through the sand,
one seems to bo perpetually following
some star in the heavens to which ono
gets no nearer. If one stops to rest no
sound falls upon the ear save perhaps the
groans of camel being loaded for the
night march or the creak of Persian
wheel raising the water on the rivers
brink.
1t is relief to pass the strings of camels
bearing their rich burdens Of silk, asafeti-
da and grapes from distant Kabul to the
Indian cities of the plains. In a long
string, led by the bearded and travel
stained driver, who is we'll fortified by
opium for the weary and mountainous
journey, they emerge suddenly and silent
ly, like phantoms from the nocturnal
gloom, and gliding noisalessly by, quick
ly disappear again.-Gentleman' Maya
