thing going" said Secretary Joseph Mag
Eer last evening. "Such a movement is
slow at getting under way, but now has
acquired a momentum tlat should be
taken advantage of to carry it to compile
ton. We have now SIS, 600 collected. The
money comes in much easier than it did.
We need $4,000, however, to carry the
mem Der OF the association to put his
shoulder to the wheel at this juncture and
create public interest and enthusiasm in
behalf of the big drive.
II wish people would 60 out there and
look at the work being carried forward
there now on Seventh avenue. 1t would
do them good just to see it. and, besides,
it is very pleasant streetcar ride. AS /
have said, the idea is to continue the
drive from the Presidlo. and, having COM
pleted the road to the Trocadero, to
switch off near the Ingieside roadhouse
and run almost due south 10 the County
line.
Il had talk with an influential man
from Santa Clara County to-day who said
that movement is on foot there to build
road up from San Jose to connect with
ours at the county line. Itis a splendid
scheme, and should enlist the enthusias m
of horsemen and people who like to drive,
as well as bicyclists and pedestrians. We
expect the meeting on Tuesday evening
will be largely attended"
At the meeting an interesting report
was received of the big work already ac-
compiished; how after long and hard
work the opening was secured from the
park TO Seventh avenue. and then, block
by block. Seventh avente was graded and
macadam ized; how the Spring Valley
Water Com pany, after long persuasion,
has at last consented to the filling in of
% ,I,{o Low I,y . IL
way, and how the ocean boulevard or the
great highway from the cliff to the Ocean
house road was buit-all forming u very
interesting report of well-directed and un-
renting effort toward securing drive
way of which the City may be proud.

Entertainment To-
Night.
Putting the Finishing Touches

Quarters.
Rich Furnishings in Which Solid
Com fort and Elegance Are
Com mbiat d

There Is to be housewarming at the
new quarters of the Cosmos Club to night.
The house will be thrown open for the in.
spection of members and friends. Fires
will glow upon the hearth, the scent of
spring blossoms will pervade the rooms
and 125 gentlemen will gather at the table
to partake OF the good cheer the hospitable
club offers them
For the past two months workmen have
been busy converting the old Lake school
building, at the corner OF Sutter and Oc-
tavla streets, into this handsome. commo-
dious, modern clubhouse. Nothing that
taste could suggest, wealth command and
the love of comfort desire has been left
undoue. The result is an ensemble of
solid elegance. There is not a supertlu Gus
piece of furniture in the house; nothing
ornamental that may not at the same
time be converted into the useful. The
coloring of the interior is in rich subdued
tones. Carpets and walls blend. Warm
terra Gotta sh ades have certainly been the
fsvorites. They mingle with the ex.
quisite Japanese papering of the walls in
the lounging and billiard rooms and blen d
harmoniously with the carpeting of these
apartments and the hail and reception
rooms as well.
The furnishings of these apartments are
for the most part in Russia leather. There
are great armchairs, the very look OF
which suggests rest, couches, divans-yes,
and rockers. Then there are numberlsss
tables. Large, round, mahogany tables,
oblong tables, square tables, carved wood
tables, and even the senseless little shelf
on four legs. so closely identified with
''my lady's boudoir."
The dining-room and the ad joining
music-room, which can be thrown open
into one, are the most gorgeous apart
ments in the clubhouse. They are all
done in white and gold, and are the acme
end of the dining-room is magnificen nj
mahogany sideboard, twenty feet long.
The dining-hall, the music-hall, the
private dining-room and the great Kitchen,
in which i've white-capped cooks are kept
continually busy, are on the ground floor.
On the first floor are the reception-rooms,
the lounging-room, the billiard-hall, the
cardrooms and the big and little grill
rooms.
The two upper floors are given over en-
tirely to the sleeping-rooms, thirty-one
in number. One fact of which Cosmos
mem bers are very proud is that every
room is light ana sunny.
After the dinner tonight there is TO be
reception, for which 200 additional
guests have been invited. The m mmittee

WANTED TO DIE.
Miss Grace Galindo's Sensational At
tempt to Take Her Life.


OAKLAND, CAL, March 26.-Miss
Grace GaIindo, boarder at the Ellsworth
House, made a sensational attempt to-
night to commit suicide. She was one OF
a merry little company and was noticed
to be very respondent. About 10 o'clock
she went out into the hall of the hotel and
swallowed four ounces of poisonous
mixture She returned to the company
and was wishing them all good-by when
she went into commissions.
She said she had taken poison and was
anxious to die. Her friends sent for DR..
o. L. Jones, and when he arrived the girl
was 80 violent that three men were neces.
sary to hold her. She fought and bit and
screamed, and said she did not wish to be
relieved of the poison, but eventually she
was overpowered. and by the aid of the
stomach-pump her life was saved. The
young lady is very low tonight. but DR..
Jones says there is no doubt that she will
recover. She is engaged to be married to
a man named Dicky. a theatrical adver-
tiser. and it is thought she had trouble
with him.

Wonders or Baaibec.

Baaibec or Baalbek la the name given
a ruined city lying In ancient Cole
Syria, forty-fve miles northwest of
Damascus. There is nothing particu-
larly remarkable about ruined city
being found in the locality mentioned,
but the size of the blocks of stone used
by the ancient builders of this particu-
lar city is something that has puzzled
the modern engineers since the day
when Baalbec was first made the Mecca
of the Oriental traveller. There are Inn
mense stones on every side of the visit
or to this ancient pile of ruins, but the
three most remarkable blocks-said to
be largest ever used In the construction
of building-are in wall back of the
Temple of Baal. These immsnse stones
are respectively 81 60 and o. feet in
length, and each is IS feet In thickness,
but the most wonderful thing In con-
nection with them is the fact that they
ire at a place In the wall IS feet In
height from the groundl How these
immense blocks of gran tie were eyer
'aised to such a height is question
