4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY., APRIL 27, 1896 PORTLAND'S RIVAL - T0 FAMED ARGUS, Mrs. O'Neil's Ninth Babe Sees Through Three Optics. GIVEN TRIPLE VISION. A Well Developed Eye Located Above the Little One’s Nose. EACH TINY ORB IS PERFECT. They Wink and Blink in Unison, and Do Not Greatly Mar the Child’s Beauty. PORTLAND, Or., April 26.—A babe that arrived at the home of W. P. O'Neil, a railroad man on the West side, ten days ago to-day, will go through life gifted with extraordinary foresight, if the pos- session of a third eye counts for anything. The child has three perfectly developea optics, two where they ought naturally to be found, and the third one between them over the nose. Strangely enough, this dis- ficurement does not render it hideous, as micht be expected. It blinks just as naturally with the central eye as with the others, and scems to see as well with it. This was Mrs. O'Neil’s ninth offspring, the other eight being healthy, well-de- veloped children. At its birth the babe to all appearances was but an ordinary in- fant. The nurse, however, noticed that there was a peculiar little formation just above the nose. She catled the attention of the doctor to this, but he looked lightly upon it, expressing an opinion that it did not amount to anything, and would soon pass away. Whatever it was, the formation refused to disappear, and the medical man be- came quite interested. Three days after the baby made its appearance the doctor was greatly surprised to notice that what looked like an eye had formed in the child’s forehead. He called in some of his brother professionals, and they were of the unanimous opinion that it was an eye, and no mistake about it. Of course the child was too young to permit of a complete examination, but the older it grew the more perfectly the eye developed, until now the third optic is as clearly developed as the two natural eves. -lic, and even in private she has been kept from exhibiting her talent much before strangers. Her parents have given her every advantage in the way of lessons and attending concerts—for instance, she did not miss one of Paderewski’s recitals. But the fame of the chiid’s ability has spread among ber friends and she has had so many offers of pupils that she has at last consented to take three. Strange to say, all Peart’s students are married ladies, and they are all players of some ability, who come to their little teacher more for lessons in style and finish than for tech- nique. There is a good deal of magnetism about Peurl Ladd’s playing, which may account for the desire of other people to learn from her. “I am not at all nervous,’” observed the seli-possessed little one, when asked if she were not afraid to appear before an audi- ence ior the first time and give along recital without a note of music. *“Why should I be nervous?” -she added thoughtfully. ‘I shall be thinking about the music and not of the people. I never mind playing before any one because it is the music that really matters. Miss Ladd, being of an inquiring turn of mind, asks a few preliminary questions of any one who wants to hear her play, just to take their musical caliber. “Idon't play all the composers myself vet,” she remarked yesterday, ‘*but I have eard works by most of the composers played by good musicians and I bavea general idea of how the works should be rendered.” £ It seemed almost uncanny to hear this child in a short plaid frock discussing music as seriously and gravely as if she were at least 40 years of age. hen asked a:lolut Paderewski she replied enthusiasti- cally: “Iylike him best in Chopin; his inter- pretation was magnificent, but really there were some things—I remember especially a ‘Valse Caprice’ by Rubin- stein when he altered the notes, because I remember distinctly how they were written and he played them differently.”” There was something delightfully irank and unconscious in the way the child pi- aniste talked about the great Polish vir- tuoso. She had no idea of being pedantic. She adored his genius, but in her childish way she had formed her own views and 'was not going to alter them because Pade- rewski was Paderewski, the greatest living pianist. Pearl Ladd has quite made up her mind that she will devote her life to playing the piano, and to judge from her lent she will make a success of it. RED BLUFF'S CELEBRATION. All Tehama County Will Make Merry on the Fourth of July. RED BLUFF, Cav., April 26.—The gen- eral committee on arrangements for the celebration to be held in Red Bluff on the | 4th of next July held its weekly meeting last night. The committee on ways and means reported that subscriptions to the amount of §1250 had been secured, and it was estimated that $250 more would be | donated and $250 secured from special de- | vices. Efforts will be made to secure at- | tendance from all Northern California on that day. E. W. Runyon, president of the Bank of Tehama County, was selected for marshal of the day; General N.P. Chipman will deliver the oration. A goddess of liberty will be selected by ballot, voting to com- mence May 4 and close some time in June. e o Control a Santa Maria Estate. SANTA BARBARA, Car., April 26.—A. M. Barry and Arthur Fugler were to-day appointed administrators of the estate of PEARL LADD, THE CLEVER CHILD PIANISTE. PLAYS LIKE AN ARTISTE, A California Child Who Will Make Her Debut as a Pianiste, Pearl Ladd, a Gifted Child, Who Numbers Married Ladies Among Her Pupils. A little California girl makes her debut as a professional musician on Wednesday, who, if early talent goes for anything, will make a good deal more than a local repu- tation in the years to come. This child, whose name is Pearl Ladd, is 8 bright, self-possessed little person of the mature ageof 12 years. She bas chosen as her instrument the piano, and to excel on the piano means a great deal in these days, when nine out of every ten little girls have a certain amount of pounding and strumming upon it inflicted upon them as part of their day’s penance in the way of lessons. Grown-up people generally feel a sense of suspicion and uncanniness when they hear a child say she loves.practicing on the piano, for they at once have visions of being compelled to listen to *“gems from the classics made easy’ ground out with laborious exactitude. But little Pearl Ladd really does not play like a child; her technique would be considered excellent even if she were double her age, and thers is a verve and authority about her inter- pretation of pianoforte music that is quite astonishing in one so young. The little girl, who scorns to play any- thing in public with notes, has a wide repertory, which includes the works ofa number of classical composers. Bhe considers difficuit transcriptions by Liszt as mere recreation and plays dances by Brahms for pastime. For her- self her tastes run more to sonatas, but she is always willing to consult the tastes of her hearers, ({»yovided that something rea- sonably goed is asked for.

Social Etiquette in the Netherlands Is Pecaliar. Bocial etiquette in the Netherlands is as nteresting as it is peculiar, and, in its ex- traordinary manifestations, it is a revela- tion of what constituted the customs of New York hospitality of two centuries ago. The French are polite, but their politeness is nothing as compared with that of the Dutch. The visitor notices it as soon as he arrives in the country and as be sees itin the street salutations. Everybody bows, nobody nods, and mere touching of the hat sunknown. Asin France, the gentleman bows first; but, although he may have howed for ten years, he is denied the privi- lege of addressing the lady. A bow is given to every acquaintance. A Dutchman gives an order to a work- man and takes off his hat with a bow that would not bring discredit to a dude. It he meets his neighbor’s footman or kitchen girl, he salutes her as he does her mistress, and the men servants yive their recognition on meeting ladies. Every one bows on passing a house where acquain t- ances reside, and it is amusing to see men go by and take off their hats at the win- dows—it is quite immaterial whether any of the family are visible. Moreover, ladies make a polite bend of the whole body as they pass houses where they visit. Trades- men salute all of their customers. A lad is bowed to by all of her father’s, brother’s or husband’s iriends, and if a Dutcn boy’s father or brother has ever met a lady, that b? must recognize her. Every man takes o is bat to everv other man that he knows, the dustman and the pastor bow- ing as politely as two lords.—Golden Rule, ————— Westmeath was in the reign of Henry VIII separated from Meath or Eastmeath.

GROWTE OF THE SOCIETY August Neresheimer Chosen to Succeed Dr. Buck as Vice President. “IS LIFE WORTH LIVING? Colonel E. T. Blackmer Answers the Much-Debated Question With a Decided Aifirmative. As predicted in THE CALL a week ago, Ernest T. Hargrove was elected yesterday at New York as president of the Theosoph- ical Society in America. ‘When this announcement was made at the meeting of the local society in Red Men’s Hall, on Post street, last evening, it was received by the very large audience with general satisfaction. The convention was formally opened at New York in the concert ball of Madison- square Garden yesterday morning, and all of the imiportant occurrences of the as- semblage are given in the following spe- cial dispateh from New York to Tug CALL: NEW YORK, N. Y., April 26.—The second annual convention of the Theosophical Society in America began this morning in the concert- hall of Madison-square Garden. The attend- ance was very large, theosophists from all parts of the United States being present. Act- ing President Dr. J. D. Buck of Cincinnati was elected permanent chairman. The committee on resolutions and ‘auditing were then appointed, after which Claude Falls Wright read the president’s annual report. It recited the fact that despite the internationsal differences among the theosophists there were to-day 108 branches in the Ameriean society, as against 102 last year. The report dealtin general terms principally with the marked progress made, and urged continued effort on the lines laid down by the late President Judge. Treasurer August Neresheimer's report showed receipts daring the year of $8699, and abalance on hand of £1000. At the afternoon session the several commit- tees, including the committee on resolutions, reported, the first resolution being adopted by a standing vote. This was eulogistic of the late William Q. Judge and his work. The resolutions pledge the lives of the mem- bers to the completion of the work he under. took. There were several other resolutions, referring more especially to the work of the society. These were adopted, and then came one which excited opposition, and it went over for further consideration. The clause in the resolution which caused objection was to the effect that the society condemned the practice of viviseetion and hypnotism, the latter being charscterized as a practice of ignorant per- sons teaching and experimenting upon other ignorant people. Dr. A. P. Buchman of Fort Wayne began & speech of objection when, on motion, the resolution was referred back to the committee. Chairman Buck then called E.L. Rambo to the chair and he nominated Ernest T. Har- grove of London, England, for president of the society. He was enthusiastically elected, the secretary casting the ballot of the convention. Angust Neresheimer of Bavaria was next unanimously elected vice-president and treas. urer, ana Claude Falls Wright, A. H. Spencer, H. D. Patterson, Dr. A. P. Buchman, Dr. J. D. Buck and Dr. Jerome Anderson were elected as an executive committee for the ensuing year. At the conclusion of the afternoon session a proclamation was read and adopted, stating in part that the society joins hands with all re- ligions and religious bodies whose effort is di- rected to the purification of men's thoughts and the bettering of their ways, and avows its narmony therewith, and invites to its member- ship all those who, seeking a higher life here- after, would learn to know the path to tread in this. The evening session was principally devoted to the aelivery of addresses. Mr. Hargrove, the newly elected president, is the son of James S. Hargrove, a London so. licitor, and is a member of the same profession. He has spent considerable time in this coun. try, lecturing on theosophy. The meeting of the ioeal society last evening was an extremely interesting one, and the hall proved almost inadequate to accommodate the attendance. Dr. Allen Griffith, State lecturer for the society, opened the meeting by a lucid explanation of the objects and beliefs of the order. He was followed by Colonel E. T, Blackmer San Diego, the speaker of the evening. Colonel Blackmer’s theme was the much- mooted question, “Is Life Worth Living ?” He said in part: This question which I have taken for my text is the question of destiny. It never took shape until it was forged in the workshops of experience. It is the outgrowth of thoughtful- ness, not along material, but intellectual and spiritual lines. Asusually presented, it re- fers to human life with its possibilities. The speaker then referred to the view of life which materialistic philesophers, theologians and authors have taken. This view in the main was thLat we experience the pains and annoyance of this life in order to reap some great reward in a life to come. Theosophy teaches that we live in a great ocean of life; that all universes, worlds, men, animals, vegetables, minerals, molecules and stoms, all that is are plunged in this great ocean. The life of it permeatesall. Every manifestation of this life is endowed with the essential attributes of existence, viz., con- sclousness, force and substance. But it is human life with its ceaseless round of births and deaths, its joys and sorrows, its pain and bliss, the mystery of which we are forever trying to solve; and this we are prone to look upon as something different from the life in the kingdoms below. But itisall the manifestation of the One Life, only we have reached a higher stage in the process of evolu- tion. There has evolved in and for humanity an individualized center of life forces, which has brought it to & state of self-consciousness. This individualization began in the kingdom below, but always falling short of the self- conscious stage until we reach man. But man is more than animal. When the stage of seli-consciousness is reached in the human kingdom we find a new factor in life. Man not only knows that he exists, but he knows that he knows. Reasoning from the past, to a limited extent he forecasts the future. Reasoning upon hisorigin end destiny, he has formed the conception of & ereator. All these nigher faculties are but the result of evolution, which is perfecting and bringing to fruitage the werm of self-censciousness. They are all the differing manifestations ot one universal life. There is no bresk, no missing link in the continuity of progress. Does this power become inoperative when It reaches the stage of human progress? Can we vredicate or conceive of any stage or state of consciousness where progress will cease? Most certainly not. Admit evolution, and we can- not limit 1t at this side of the universal. As units in this great problem of evolution we must help or hinder its final solution. Let us not forget that the purpose of evolution, since it has reached the human stage, is spir- ituel, not material; that brotherhood, hon- esty, patience, chanty, seli-sacrifice, are the rounds of the ladder upon which we must climb to the loftiest heights. CAPTURED A THUG. George Hayes Apprehended in the Act of Committing Highway Robbery. George Hayes, a very hard-looking char- acter, was arrested early this morning while in the act of holding up a man named John Jones at the corner of Green and Stockton streets. Hayes assaulted Jones with brass knuck- les and then, holding him up against the side of a house, started to go through his pockets. Jones yelled “Police!” at the top of his voice, and his cries attracted Offi- cer Norman and Special Officer Me- Intyre, who came running from op- posite directions: Hayes was captured and taken to the Califorma-street station after a desperate resistance. No money was found in his possession, and Jones was unable to tell how much he had lost. Hayes had the brass knuckles when captured. LUMBER RAISED AGHI, The Manufacturers Issue a Re- vised Price List to All Purchasers. Central Offices Moved to Steuart Street, Where There Is Room for Active Work. The Redwood Lumber Company has at last settled down to business, with its new schedule of prices in full operation. And every manufacturer of redwood lumber In California is bound by his contract to main- tain the new rates. The head offices of the company, which are really a central clearing-house for red- wood business, have moved from 10 Cali- fornia street to more commodious quarters at 29 Steuart street. The combination of redwood men for mutual protection has therefore proved a greater success than its promoters ever imagined, even in their most enthusiastic moments. For every manufacturer has to make a return of his daily sales to jthe central office; he must permit surveyors or inspectors in the employ of the redwood organization to watch shipments received and report on thrm. By this means the receipts of redwood lumber are known to a foot and sales must correspond with them. It is impos- sible under these strict rules for any mem- ber of the ‘“‘company” to sell below the price list established by the united lum- bermen. Prices have been advanced on all classes of redwood lumver not less than $1 a thousand feet and in many instances the raise is just double that figure. There are two lists, one for the Mendo- cino mills, the other for the Humboldt and Del Norte mills. These are for car- goes aelivered in 8an Francisco or round the bav in vessels airect from the lumber harbers. The Humboidt list is as follows: 7 |_ PER M FT, pEaGCH No. 1.

LGCKING FOR A PASTOR. Members of Dr. Brown’s Church Considering His Sue- Cessor. TALKED ABOUT CHARACTER. The Involved Minister Makes Use of An 01d but Effective Discourse. Mrs. Cooper’s Class. Who will succeed Dr. C. 0. Brown as pastor of the First Congregational Church? The leaders of the opposition to the alleged dethroned clergyman have reached a point in their efforts to oust Dr. Brown which they believe renders this question perti- nent, and numerous possible candidates are being considered. With the majority of the members who feel the need of a new pastor the discussion has now about narrowed down to three clergymen,namely, Dr. Rader of the Third Congregational Church of this City, Dr. Hatch of Berkeley and Dr. Hoyt of Sacramento. “Dr. Rader and Dr. Hatch are both young men of extraordinary ability,” said Dr. McDonald in discussing Dr. Brown’s successor yesterday, ‘‘and we all feel that they will continue to become more and more useful. It will certainly require a man of energy to take hold of the echurch at this juncture, and both reverend gentle- men seem admirably equinped in this re- gard.

His valuable services were continued after the road passed into the’ hands of the Southern Pacific Company, and until ill health caused him to relin- quish his official position.

Dr. Hoyt is a very able man, universally respected, and would no doubt give entire satisfaction. At this time, however, every- thing is mere conjecture, and none of the men mentioned have been approached on the subject.” A rather remarkable feature of the sug- gestion of Dr. Hoyt as a successor to Dr. Brown is that Dr. Hoyt was known throughout the council’s session as a warm friend of the accused pastor. At the services of the First Church yes- terday morning Dr. Brown’s sermon was ““The Matchless Character.” This is not a new sermon. The doctor delivered the same address several months ago, and it was at the time considered his best effort. His evening address was also one which had done service before. At the morning address the doctor made no allusion to bis present predicament whatever. The only suggestion of the cloud hanging over the minister was the notice for a business meeting next Wednesday evening. This notice, which was read by Deacon Morse, was addressed to W. F. Christensen, clerk of the church. It was a formal request that he call a business meeting of the church for Wednesday evening, April 29. It was signed by J. A. Hatch, J. Howard Barnard, J. T. McDonald, J. H. Warren and Clinton J. Hutchins. In order to_cast discredit upon the no- tice, Deacon Morse stated yesterday after- noon that of the five signers three were not pewholders and one was a non- resident. He refused to say which was the competent signer. Mrs. Cooper, when told of Deacon Morse's statement, declared that it was false. As fimflf of this she pointed out that J. H. Hatck and J. Howard Barnard were deacons. Rev. J. H. Warren, she stated, was one of the earliest ministers of the church, and Dr.J. T. McDonald and Clinton J. Hutchins were old and much respected members of the church. oth sides are confident of success at the business meeting Wednesday evening. Deacon Morse at first declared that Dr. Brown would come out of the battle tri- umphant with a majority of three to one. After considering the matter, however, he reduced his figures to two to one. His reason for the reduction was that the peti- tion asking for the pastor’s removal, was signed by people living as far away as Boston aud Detroit, but who were still on the rolls, and these might come and vote. Dr. McDonald of the “insurgents’ said he expected the vote to be against Dr. Brown, yet if it was not it would only de- lay matters a little longer and supply a few more disgusting details. Dr. Brown’s position now he declared to be untenable and he must eventually give up. The hall of the Native Sons where Mrs. Cooper’s Bible Class convenes was filled yesterday with an interested audience of men and women, many of whom took part in the discussion of the lesson, the subject of which was “Dives and Lazarus.” Among those who added much to the interest of the discussion were Judges Carrie and Rosenbaum, several clergyren who were present, Messrs. Gaden, Hawley, Tuttle and Dr. J. T. McDonald, Mesdames Par- ker, Cutler, Tuttle, McDonald, Reeves, Redington and Misses ‘Wyeant, Cooper, Stovall and Chase. Severalstrangers from the hotels of the City introduced them- seives. It was argued that riches well used were a blessing to the possessor and to the world. The mistake of Dives was that he cared nothing about Lazarus. The dogs were kinder to Lazarus than was Dives. “This rable shows plainly that death oes not end al” added Mrs. Cooper. ‘‘Both these men died. Death is the great lev- eler. Dives could take mno lua;fge through the Custom-house of Death. £ surveyor of that port permits no baggage to enter. And when Dives leaves his lug- gage behind, what has he leit?

FRESNO, CAL., Feb. 21.—I have scarcely been six hours in Fresno, yet I can report a big success for the Californian remedy. While in one of the leading drug stores of this city I met Mr. David Wagner. He has been using Joy’'s Vegetable Sarsa- parilla, and he tells me that much of his robustness is due to this great vegetable medicine. He assured me that he was in poor health a few months ago, and, read- ing some of our advertisements, he de- cided to try the remedy. The medicine worked like a charm. His bowels soon be- came regular, the coating of his tongue disappeared and he felt better and better every day. Said he: “I would not take fifty dollars for the benefits I have received from Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. The remedy tasted so well at first I thought it was not medicine. I soon found out the difference. Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla certainly acts on the bowels and blood. Look at my face; there is not a single mark on it to show I have been tsking a blood medicine. Many people using blood remedies have their face and hands and body all covered with blood spots. pimples | and blemishes. I can testify that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla brings out no bad blood marks, and it does its work, too. I saw a lady who had used the remedy for rheumatism, and her rheumatism bas left her. If the druggists here eontinue to sell Joy’s without trying to substitute, as some druggists do 1n Fresno, you will have a big sale for Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla this spring. There ought to be some way io prevent druggists substituting. Of course, in time, people will find out that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparitla is the best, and when they do find it out for themselves no | one will be able to make them take a sub- stitute for the native remedy.
