DR.. RAIDER CALLED.
The Third Congregational Church Is
Anxious to Secure His Services
as Pastor.

Last Wednesday night the Third Congre-
gational Church, Fifteenth street, San
Francisco, extended a unanimous call to
the Rev. William RAIDER, associate pastor
of the First Congregational Church, Oak
land, to become their pastor.
A meeting of the society was held last
night, at which the action of the church
was ratified. A committee was appointed
to present the call to Mr. RAIDER.
If DR.. RAIDER refuses the call it is prob
able that the congregation of the Third
Congregational Church will ask Rev. DR..
Wyhle to occupy the pulpit temporarily.
He preached at the church for the first
time last Sunday, and all his hearers ex
pressed general satisfaction at his short
but eloquent sermon.
Dr. Wyhle is a Russian Jew, who some
time ago changed his belief and went over
to the Congregational denomination. He
graduated at Knox College, and afterward
studied divinity at Harvard. AT present
he is connected with the Chicago Uni
versity, and President Harper is very 10th
to see him sever his connection with that
institution. DR.. Wyhle is only on a visit
to the Pacific Coast, and if DR.. RAIDER de-
clines the call to the Third Congregational
Church an effort will be made to induce
him to take the pastorate temporarily,
with view, in all probability, to getting
him to remain.

YOUNG SOLO|STS TRAINED.
Novel Feature in Teaching
Music at the Cooper Pri-
mary School.
EXAMPLE OF EARLY TRAINING.
Every One of the Six Hundred Pu-
pills Is an Independent
Vocalist.

The Cooper Primary School is training
60O young soloists.
They may not all create a stir in the
world of music, but they are laying IN a
supply of self-reliance that will serve them
well through life. There is not pupil in
the school, not even the particular small
boys known in the teachers vernacular as
"terrors," who is not able to sing inde-
pendentiy such melodies as are adapted to
childish voices.
Nine. Celine R. Pechin, the principal of
the school, proceeds on the theory that
every one may sing "more or less" and
that timidity is the real cause of failure in
that line. She believes that self-conscious-
ness is an enemy to the development of
the voice, and knows that that is lacking
in the youngest children of school age.
Hence she begins with the receiving class
in her teaching of music.
Six-year- olds who are resting with the
mysteries of "cat" and "mat" sang rote

How Cycling Is Now Regu-
lated by the Oakland
Police.
NUMEROUS ARRESTS ARE MADE.
Riders From Surrounding Counties
Should Carefully Read the
Ordinance.
OAKLAND OFFICE San Francisco CALL,

90S Broadway, Sept. %.
Bicycle legislation in this city may be
said to have reached a climax yesterday
in the enforcement of an ordinance that is
of interest to the wheelmen of half dozen
counties.
Every Sunday thousands of cyclists are
on the streets of Oakland from San Fran
cisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Contra
Costa counties, and during the past sum-
mer scores of arrests have been made for
violating the bicycle ordinance. Nearly
all the offenders, after being arrested, or
driven in the patrol wagon to the City
Hall, declared their ignorance of the law,
but all were mulcted in the sum of IS.
Last night the police officers were mott
fed to enforce the clause relating to the
bell or horn, which must be sounded
LOUDLY and continuously Immediately
before reaching and while traversing every
public street crossing" Three arrests
were made last night of young men who
had neither horns nor bells. AS the words
cloudy and continuously" admit of SO
wide Interpretation, it is expected that
much difficulty will be experienced in Sc
curing convictions. The ordinance con-
talns some very stringent clauses and has
already been the means OF adding hun
dreds of dollars to the city treasury. The
ordinance is as follows:
1t is hereby declared to be unlawful for any
person or persons to ride upon the sidewalk of
any public street, lane or alley, or within any
public park or square, within the limits of the
city OF Oakland, any bicycle, tricycle. or veloci-
pede between the hours OF q P. NJ. and 6 A. NJ.
Every person riding bicycle, tricycle. or We
locipede upon any sidewalk of any public
street, lane or alley, or within any public
square, within the limits of the city of Oak
land, between the hours of A. NJ. and P. NJ,
shall Immediately Gismount from said bicycle,
tricycle. or velOcipede upon meeting or over
taking any person who may then and there be
walking or standing upon said sidewalk or
within said public square.
Every person riding bicycle, tricycle. or
velocipede in the nighttime in any public
street within the limits of the city of Oakland
must have a lamp and bell or horn attached
thereto and must keep the said lamp lighted
and must ring the said bell or sound the said
horn loudly and continuously Immediately
before reaching and while traversing every
public street crossing.
Every person who shall violate any of the
provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed
guilty OF misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by fine of not less
than $40 nor more than 800 for every offense,
and in case said fine be not paid then the per-
son or persons SO fined shall be imprisoned in
the City Prison of the city of Oakland at the
late of one day for each 50 OF the fine SO i'm
posed and remaining unpaid.

TO VETO THE TAX LEVY
The Mayor Will Accept Moth
ing Higher Than One
Dollar.
He Intends to Faithfully Obey the
City's Organic Law to the
Letter.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, !

$40 DIOduWdy, oepl. 10. }
Mayor Davie will veto any tax levy that
exceeds 81 on every 500 worth of prop
erty. He has not said so in so many
words, but enough has been said to make
it conclusive that he will veto the pro-
posed ordinance making levy of 81 IS
and take his stand upon the charter, which
the Mayor always refers to as " the organic
law of the municipality
The city charter limits the taxation for
municipal purposes to 81, and permits an
increased rate only for the purposes of
bond interest and redemption. The IS
cents beyond the limit is for this purpose
but Mayor Davie contends that 81 cents
will bring in a sufficient revenue to con-
quot the city government if it be used
economically. On this ground also he will
have his reason for disappearing the ordi-
nance. AS the Finance Committee will
not be able to secure the necessary eight
votes to pass it over the veto deadlock
will be the result.
The levy Of 81 Is is not popular, because
the committee has not given any pledge
regarding the use to which the large sur
plus fund will be put. The levy was made
up in secret session, at which Messrs.
Bassett, Brosnahan and Hoffman refused
to participate. Auditor Snow is not salts
fed with the proposed levy, although he
declares the dollar limit is too small.
The manner in which the holders of
bonds due on October are protected was
made public to-day. Whenever bond is
presented at the city treasury the interest
will be paid, and the person presenting
the bond be invited to walk over to the
Central Bank, where the bond will be
cashed. The bank will hold these bonds
as security until the city sells the new
bonds and repays the bank.

The financial difficulty besettlng the Re-
lance football team is not the only imped-
iment in the way of the Eastern tour.
Although not more than month inter
venes before the date set for the departure
of the team, the boys have not yet had a
single hard practice game. Some of the
men are still out of town, while it is said
that several good players have been lost
through bad management and petty con-
siderations.
Laswell of Los Angeles will not play,
and Clemens will not occupy his old posi-
ton behind the lines.
Another grievance is the lack of interest
taken by the directors and members.
Every night they practice as best as they
can, but no one is present to note their
progress or comment on their good work
Sullivan, the center, is i'll with typhoid
malaria, but is expected to be back at

expected before Saturday. Owing to bust
ness Racine cannot play this year.

How to Develop Cloud Pictures.

Pictures taken simply of clouds, without
special attention to the landscape, should
be developed very slowly in order to bring
out all the soft shadows, which are lost if
the development is hurried. Where the
clouds and landscape have been taken in
one picture, the printing quality of the
negative may be made uniform by careful
development of the plate.
Place the plate in rather weak de-
veloper, and as soon as the outlines of the
landscape begin to appear, take it out and
place it in dish of clean water so as to
arrest the development. Pour off the
developer, put the plate back in the tray,
and finish the plate with brush develop
ment To do this, take a soft camePs-hair
brush or small wad of surgeons cotton,
dip into the developer, and brush over the
part of the plate which developes more
slowly, which will be the landscape. AS
soon as this part is nearly developed, food
the plate yith q weak solution of de-
veloper, increasing it in strength till the
sky is fully developed. Brush develop
ment requires careful hand, but, like any
other part of photography, becomes easy
by repeated trials.
Another way of developing one part of
the plate at time is to take the plate from
the tray as soon as the outlines appear;
turn off the developer and wash the plate.
Put it back in the tray, and tip the tray so
that the sky will be out of the developer,
turn in the developer, and rock the tray
gently to and fro, but do not allow any of
the developer to touch the sky until the
shadows in the landscape are well out.
When the shadows are nearly or quite
developed food the whole plate with the
developer. The sky will develop very
quickly, and if the process is carefully
watched fine even printing negative will
be the result. This plan of development
is most successful where the horizon-line
is not too much broken.
Having once succeeded in catching the
clouds, one will never be quite satisfied
with landscape picture which has per-
fectly clear sky.-Harper's Round Table.
