SACRIFICES LIFE
 WHISPERING TO OTHERS
(From Wednesdays Dsily.)

Miss Fife Powers succumbed yes terday at Mercy hospital to cerebral spinal meningitis, after an illness of over three weeks.
 Sad, indeed, is the passing of this estimable and beloved young wom- an, through whose sincere and sacri- ficing ministrations to the afflicted was she stricken in the performance of duty.
 Aside from her professional duty. she was very much endeared to the many. Mild in manners, and bless ed with personality that was ever cheerful, she won the admiration of those who knew her best tnd loved her most. The death of Miss Powers has occasioned expressions of general regret throughout the city, and from those who did not en- joy the pleasure of her acquain- tance. Her mother, Mrs. J. w. Powers. was summoned from Point Loma, Cal, but arrived few hours after her daughter had passed away.
