Senator Thurston, Of Nebraska. This

PEELED to keep on lying. Mr.. Bryan
closes his denial with the following
challenge: "If the Republican ma

have ever been employed TO deliver
speeches by a mineowner or group Of
mineowners, or by any association
operated by mineowners, am ready
to make a statement showing In de-

Who will succeed DR.. G. o. Brown as

The leaders of the opposition to the alleged
dethroned clergyman have reached a point
IN their efforts to GUST DR.. Brown which
they believe renders this question peril

are being considered. With the majority
OF the members who feel the need of
new pastor the discussion has now about
narrowed down to three clergymen, namely,
Dr. RAIDER of the Third Congregations al

and DR.. Hoyt of Sacramento.
"Dr. RAIDER and DR.. Hatch are both
young men of extraordinary ability" said

they will continue to become more and

LUMBER RAISED AGAIN,
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 clearinghouse for red
wood business, have moved from 10 Cali
fornia street to more commodious quarters
at % Steuart street.
The combination of redwood men for
mutual protection has therefore proved q
greater success than its promoters ever
imagined, even in their most enthusiastic
moments. For every manufacturer has to
make return of his daily sales to the
central office; he must permit surveyors or
inspectors in the employ of the redwood
organization to watch shipments received
and report on them.
BY this means the receipts of redwood
lumber are known to foot and sales
must correspond with them. It is impos-
slble under these strict rules for any men,
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 lumber not less than 81 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 delivered in San Francisco or round
the bay in vessels 0irect from the lum ber

PLAYS LIKE AN ART|STE.
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 professional musician on Wednesday.
who, if early talent goes for anything, will
make good deal more than local repu-
tation in the years to come.
This child, whose name is Pearl Ladd, is
q bright, self-possessed little person of the
mature age of II years. She has 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 days penance in
the way of lessons.
GrowI-up people generally feel sense
of suspicion and uncanniness when they
hear 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 child; her
technique would be considered excellent
even if she were double her age, and there
is verve and authority about her inter-
probation 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 of
number of classical composers.
She considers difficult transcriptions
by Liszt as mere recreation and plays
dances by Brahms for pastiEe. For her
self her tastes run more to sonatas, but she
is always willing to consult The tastes of
her hearers, provided that something rea-
sonably good il asked for.
The child has not yet been heard IN pub

profit through the central Office. He has
given up his business to the redwood COM

other mill of the same capacity, he will
only get the profits on his shar,s So

A Well Developed Eye Located
Above the Little Ones
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 third eye counts for anything.
The child has three perfectly developed
optics, two where they ought naturally to
be found, and the third one between them
over the nose. Strangely enough, this dis
tigurement does not render 1t hideous, as
might be expected. 1t blinks just as
naturally with the central eye as with the
others, and seems to see as well with it.
This was Mrs. O'NeiPs ninth offspring,
the other eight being healthy, well-de-
veloped children. At its birth the babe to
all appearances was but an ordinary in
FAINT. The nurse, however, noticed that
there was peculiar little formation just
above the nose. She called 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.
Whstever 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
eyes.
