WILL SEEK REST IN
SUNNY SOUTHERN CLIMES
DIR. JOHN GALLWEY LEAVES
FOR AN EXTENDED TRIP.
Will Continue on to Europe to Study
in the Noted Hospitals if His
Health Permits.

DIR. John Gallwey, beloved of a wide
circle of friends, was on the streets yes
terday after a serious siege of illness.
Through too devoted attention to duty,
exhausted nature finally gave way and
the doctor was prostrated. He had as
sumed the exacting duties of Health Off
Ger of this city in the absence of his
friend, DR.. A. p. O'Bren at Manila. This
in addition to his existing practice over
taxed his strength, as he responded to the
calls of all seeking his ministrations.
DR.. Gallwey will leave to-day for Del
Monte for rest. After brief stay there
he will proceed south to San Diego. If
his health improves. as he and his admir-
ers hope it will, he will depart for Eu-
rope. While there he will study in the
famous hospitals and clinics. Should he
determine that his health will not per-
nit the European trip he will return here
after an extended rest and will resume
his practice

90S Broadway, May 26.
The breaking of a stout lever this after
noon caused a serious accident on the
Eleventh avenue electric branch road. No
one was hurt, but the car was disabled.
But for the presence of the boy who at
tends to the rear end of the cars on this
branch line, there would probably have
been a fatality.
The cars on this branch were for long
while operated by one man, until an or
dinance passed by the City Council made
it imperative to employ two people on
each car This afternoon Motorman
Sharp was applying the brake on a steep
grade when the lever snapped right in
two The iron is fully half an inch thick,
yet it broke with no apparent effort. The
car at once proceeded TO fly down the hill
unrestrained, while the four passengers
wondered how soon they might be thrown
off the track and perhaps killed. The boy
in the rear jumped TO the rear brake and
the motorman quickly reversed his cur
rent but neither seemed to have much
effect until the car struck the curve at
Twenty-fourth street, when with a Sc
we're jar it was brought TO a standstiIl
The passengers received nothing more Sc
we're than shaking.

Interesting Contests to Be Held on

The Alameda Tennis Club will hold a
tournament for the singles championship
of Alameda County on it's courts May
80, Memorial day. The Alameda Club has
two courts situated on Encinal avenue,
near Morton-street station, narrow
gauge, Alameda. This tournament will be
the first of its kind held in many years,
and special sanction has been obtained
from the Pacific States Lawn Tennis AS
s0ciation. Play will commence promptly
at $3.50 a. m, and continue throughout the
day. Any player not ready when his
match is called will be defaulted. Special
arrangements have been made for the
accommodation of visitors
The entries include the best of the
younger players across the bay, and a
hotly contested tournament is expected
The Hardys have decided not to enter,
and this will leave the result in doubt
From present indications it seems that
Nicholson or Murdock will be the win
ner, but there are number of other play
ers capable of giving them a hard rub.
If time is allowed, Nicholson and Muir
dock will play an exhibition doubles
match with some other team yet to be
selected.

The nesting birds have ceased to pep
Beneath the mothers wing;
The fairies now the dewdrops steep
In fragile lily-cups down deep,
The CHEEKY erickets sing.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
While God above with guard of love
A tender vigil keep.
Each nodeing flower knows sleep is best
When darkness falls
And bars suns window in the west:
From pillow soft on mothers breast
Sweet slumber calls.
Rest, baby rest!
No harm comes near my baby dear
BY love carsssed.
Across the little mouth a CLEAN,
A smile that does not cease,
The moon sends down in silver stream
An angel message in each beam
A gladstone note Of peace.
Dream, baby dream!
Of childish JOY with no alloy
And love alone supreme.
Annie L. Miller.

in this way all sections OF the country

The election OF officers for the Inter-
natiJna! Council OF Women resulted in
the choice OF Mrs. May Wright SswalI
for president, and Lady Aberdeen, the
former president. as vice president.
Perhaps ore Of the most important
subjects discussed ny the Council was
that OF handicrafts. The thought per.
vading this discussion was that hand
work must be employed as we'll as brain
work to insure the development OF the
race, that head work minus hand work
and hand work without head work are

Lady Aberdeen said she could not be in

crowded to give her r chance to know
each individually, so she gave this nine
o'clock breakfast just to get acq uainted.

In the afternoon, as we all sat upon

there isl The remark set me to think

he was never taught to be afraid OF

fear it. That is why his musical inven-

wholly his own and he is the only man
among all men living who can tell Of it.
His message is for his lips alone, no
other could ever speak it. His work is
unique among the worlds beautiful
