Le Bin Hoon. a Chinese boy 12 years of age. who arrived here on the Signal, and who was refused admittance by Collector of Customs Black, was ip before Judge Bellinger yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus. His father, Lee John, keeps a lodging house at Fourth and Pine streets, and claimed that the boy was born in San rrancisco, and that he look him home to China some five years since to put him at school. This was intended as no re flection on the schools here, but they teach things in China which are not taught here, and which it is desirable that every Chinese should know. Lee John was able to satisfy the court in re gard to the boy having been born in this country, and so he was allowed to land, and there was a circus at Lee John's last night. The boy is a bright little fellow, and will doubtless prove an ornament to the Chinese colony here. Who Wrote "Beautiful Snow"? A correspondent writes to ask The Orego nlan to settle a dispute by publishing the name of the author of "Beautiful Snow." The question, if asked in the dog days, would have received the attention of the entire force, but just at this time it is jfU-h too much. This paper can only say tnat this question has been long in doubt, and one of the things it doesn't know and never expects or cares to find out is juBt who wrote "Beautiful Snow." The "credit" has often been given to one who had fallen from grace; who once was as pure as the snowflake, and was sought for the charms of her face; who died in a charlt hospital from the effects of her terrible woe, and 'tis said that they found In her pocket the poem on "Beautiful Snow." But there's nothing certain about it; some say it was written by Poe, while othera say it wasn't, so how's anjbody to know? Whoever the author may have been, it i3 time for him to come out and satisfy all Interested parties by telling us what he's about, and whether he's man bom of woman, inhabiting this world below, or whether he's only a spirit in form of his "beautiful snow." If human, he'll leave us In winter when the snow has covered the ground, and in a casket of coaltar and feathers they should lower him gently down to a sleep of peace and quiet, away from this vain, fleeting show, with naught but the heavens above him. In a bed of his "beautiful snow." Prer-ic Cir.fimr Meeting Tonight. Notwithstanding the storm, the Marquam theater will tonight be thrpwn open to the public for the general charity meeting.

In narrat ing the exploits of a man named Pom ero. now in the county jail on a charge cf robbing a La Camas store, it has been stated that the man lived on Sauvie's island. The residents of that precinct, who take a just pride In being law-abiding citizens, wish the statement of Pom eroj's being one of their neighbors cor rected. The man does not live on the island, but on the mainland opposite the heal of the island, and the Sauvie's island residents do not care to be classed with suvh fellow"!. No Plcmbkhk Mbetinq.

A gentle man, while on the way from the Cascades to this city by boat a day or two since, was much amused at a conversation be tween two lady passengers, who were discussing the new schoolteacher lately employed by their district. "She seems a nice enough girl," said one. "but she has Introduced a lot of foreign notions, among them the study of English grammar." "Pshaw!" said the other, "what sense is there in the children studying English grammar? They have enough to do to study about their own country." It Is well for the teacher that the ladies are not on the school board. A Hackman's P.igjits. W. W. Elklns, a special officer empicyed at the central depot, tried to have William Jenkins, a hackman, convicted of trespass in the mu- nlclpal court yesterday. The evidence showed that Jenkins wa3 sitting in the waiting-room, and. it being a public place. Judge Smith held that the man committed no offense by being there. Ho also held that the Terminal Company had no right to distinguish as to who should be allowed in the station. Cases Continued. The cases of Frank R.

The popularity of Wagner's operatic creation was attested last evening by the large audience that assembled at the Mar quam to hear the Tavary grand opera company in "Tannhauser." The misera ble condition of the streets, laden with sloppy snow, the sleeting rain, and the demoralized street-car system, did not seem to dissuade the residents of the city from venturing from their firesides, for the theater held one of the largest audi ences of the present engagement. To make matters worse, many of the streets were left In total darkness by the break ing down of electric light wires. An operatic organization that would fill a theater under these conditions must cer tainly have great drawing powers. The Marquam would doubtless have had the "standing-room only" sign out, early Wednesday and Thursday evening, if it had not been for the storm. The rendition of "Tannhauser" was really grand. The full strength of the company was cast in the production, and Madame Tavary and her associates seem thoroughly wedded to Wagner, extraordi nary music. The soloists, chorus and orchestra seemed determined to repay the audience for its attendance under such circumstances, with the best performance in the ability of the organization. How well they succeeded is best judged by the repeated outbursts of applause from the first to the last curtain. The story of "Tannhauser" is strange and fascinating Tannhauser, a knight and minstrel, in an evil hour, sought refuge from the griefs of earth in the Hill of Venus, where, surrounded by her heathen train, the goddess is supposed to hold her court amid everlasting revels, de stroying the souls of men who fall into her tolls. The opera opens when Tann hauser. having dwelt with her a whole year, has become weary of monotonous joys, and, In a momentary return of his better nature, longs for earthly life, with its mingled pains and pleasures. He implores the goddess to release him, and, after a protracted struggle, regains his liberty. The story then tells of his un fortunate adventures, and of his finally being returned to the domain of Venus, where, conscience-stricken, he finds ever lasting wretchedness. Nothing could be more enjoyable than the artistic rendition of Elizabeth by Madame Tavary. She sang and Interpret ed the part with rare excellence, and was repeatedly applauded. The other members of the company were unusually good, and came in for their share of commendation. The Tavary company will, this after noon, at a special matinee performance, present Bizet's brilliant opera "Carmen," with a cast equal in strength to any of the "Carmens" seen in this country. Madam Tavary will be heard in the role of "Michaela," and Madame Theo Dorro will give her great interpretation of the role of Carmen. In Italy she Is said to have had no superior as Carmen. The general chorus and orchestra will add greatly to the toreador scene, and prom ises to be one of the most delightful presentations of the week. Mr. Mortens will sing the Toreador. After the per formance the company will leave for San Francisco. The IMsgrs Compnn). The popularity of theatrical entertain ments and the impression they make on the public is best attested by the box of fice receipts. Accepting this fact as a test of merit, the Charles RIggs company is an assured success, for its business this season has been large everywhere, not withstanding thegencral cry is hard times. This fact certainly goes to show that the company is one of unusual merit and is presenting a line of popular plays that at once catch the eye of theater-goers. The company will play a return engagement at Cordray's commencing Monday, Jan uary 7, presenting: the sparkling old English comedy, entitled "That precious Baby," a play said to contain more hearty and genuine laughs than anything of the kind yet produced. The same excellent company will be seen and demonstrate its versatallty In the line of comedy. PERSONAL MENTION. State Senator S. A. Dawson, of Albany, is at the St. Charles. Mr. Harrison R.

The temporary home of the Boys & Girls Aid Society is "situated on Haw thorne avenue and East Twenty-seventh street. The institution cannot be re garded as an orphan asylum, but as a depot or clearing-house, where children who are rescued frcm cruel and inhuman parents are kept until suitable home3 or employment can be found for them. The Boys' & Girls' Aid Society, of Ore gon, was incorporated In July. lSw, and Is a strictly noasectarian charitable insti tution, whose business It is to rescue homeless, neglected or abused chil dren of Oregon, receive juvenile of fenders (by legal commitment or other wise), who are In danger of being im- mmi sp JiOYS AND GIRLS' HOME. prisoned, (see section 1414 annotated laws), provide for such until suitable homes and oversight are found for them, and con tinue a systematic attention to their con dition and treatment. A board of trustees, composed of leading citizens, have control of the society. They are: H. W. Corbett, president; F. E. Beach, secretary; L. L. Hawkins, treas urer; A. H. Bergman, chairman of ex ecutive committee; Miss Helen F. Spauld Ing, Ira F. Powers, W. B. Gilbert, D. Soils Cohen and S. Farrell. The Rev. Dr. T. L. Eliot, though not a member of the board, takes a lively interest in the work, and attends all meetings of importance. The actual work of the society is attended to by William T. Gardner, the superin tendent, who was appointed by the board of trustees about two years ago, and who had for his reccommendatlon pre vious institutional experience in the East. It is the Intention of the society In the near future to appoint honorary agents in every county in the state, in order to insure proper treatment to its waras placed in homes. Thus far only two are serving in this capacity, namely, J. J. Brumbach, of Ilwaco, Wash., and George C. Blakeley, county judge of Wasco county. The "home" Is under the supervision of an advisory board, composed of the fol lowing ladies: Mrs. W. A. Buchanan, president: Mrs. Dr. Templeton, secretary; Miss Clara Northrup. Mrs. Levy White and Mrs. H. C. Campbell. Mrs. Mary J. Graham, as matron, has had charge of the home for the past three years. There are from 25 to S3 children always on hand .ranging in age from 2 to 10 years, and who present a well-fed, clean and happy appearance The society hopes in the near future to own a home of its own in a building better adapted for its work. Since January 1, 1S34, 273 children have passed through its hands, many having been rescued from lives of cruelty, vice and filth. Most of them are now adopted into families. There are now on tre books of the society, and under their immediate supervision (not having been adopted) 331 children. This of itself, goi-s to show the mammoth work that is being accomplished by this noble institution. BANKER CONFESSES. The Insurance Swindler Tells of His Fraudulent Scheme. When Detective Joseph Day, of this city, arrived in Sioux City, Iowa, yes terdas' morning, and called at the city jall of that place, Richard R. Banker, who defrauded the A. O. U. W. of this state out of $2000, by pretending to have been drowned, made no further effort to conecal his identity. He confessed all to Detective Day, fully corroborating the theory of Chief of Police Mlnto as to the manner In which the plan to defraud the order out of the money was carrjed out, and Mrs. Banker turned over to the officer a certificate of deposit for $500, the remaining portion of the stolen money which she had in the bank. On leaving Portland last Saturday night, Detective Day went directly to Des Moines, Iowa, presenting the requisition of Governor Pennoycr for the person of Banker to Governor Jackson, and as soon as the document was officially indorsed, he went to Sioux City. He left for Port land last evening with Banker in custody, and will arrive here Monday next. The full confession of Banker will place A. L. Hunter and his son Harry in an awkward predicament. Both are now out on $2000 bail, awaiting action of the grand jury. It is supposed that in mak ing his confession. Banker has told what arrangements he made to secure witness es to prove his death, and how much of the S2000 he paid for such services. Should he connect the Hunters in that way with the transaction, it is liable to go hard with both father and son. Chief Mlnto is greatly elated over the arrest of Banker, and the apparent cer tainty of his conviction. With but a faint clew to start on, the case was ad mirably worked up by the head of the police department and Detectives Welch and Day. The officers of the A. O. U. W. are also pleased that, while their order will lose a grniter portion of the money, the man who fraudulently obtained it will now get his just deserts, and serve a term in the penitentiary. NOT MUCH OF A TRIA Louis Iliuimelar Found Xot Guilty of l'lsliixisr Aenr the Giudtouc Dam. OREGON CITY. Jan. S. In Justice Dixon's court last evening a jury found Louis Himmelar rot guilty of the charge of ilbhing within 000 feet of the Gladstone dam, as charged in the complaint sworn to by Fish and Game Protector McGulre. Mr. McGulre was not present at the trial. The witnesses for the prosecution testi fied that there was no proper fishway in the dam. and consequently there could be no conviction on the charge of unlawfully obstructing such passage. The course of the prosecution in this case is regarded as very odd, the justice himself expressing- the opinion that the trial was very much of a farce. The semi-annual report of the city water commission shows the collections during the past six months to have been $89 45. The expenses during the seme period were 54325 55. Everything about the plant is reported to be in first-clas condition, and there is a cash balance on hand of $SW.

On Wednesday night, Frederick H. Ramsey, one of the pioneer residents of Oregon, living alone near- the mouth of the Willamette river, opposite Sauvie's island, came to a frightful end, being burned to death in his own house. No one was near to render assistance. About 7:20 o'clock last night neighbors of Ramsey, living on Sauvie's island, discovered the house to be on fire and started to render assistance: but. on ac count of snow "and ice in the river, they were unable to cross the. stream to the mainland. Yesterday morning they went to the house, finding the building in ruins; and amid the charred and smoking ruins lay the body of Ramsey. The arms and legs of the old pioneer were burned off. and all that remained was the blackened trunk. v It will never be known. definitely how the fire originated. Six weeks ago the building caught fire and was saved by the efforts of Sauvie's island neighbors. At that time Ramsey was under the In fluence of liquor, and It is surmised that on Wednesday he was intoxicated, and, through some accident, the house caught fire and Ramsey was either asleep or in a condition unable to save himself. Ramsey came to Oregon 44 years ago, from the state of Pennsylvania, and dur ing his life he acquired considerable prop erty. He owned about 700 acres of land on the peninsula. He also had money loaned out, and was in comfortable cir cumstances. Ramsey has'a brother living at Centralla, Wash., and a niece, Mrs. Charles Oliver, wife of the "civil engineer. In this city. He was never married, and it is understood that some time ago he made a will, disposing of his property, and that the document is in the keeping of Judge Shattuck. Mr. Edward Gillahan, a farmer living on Sauvie's island, brought the intelli gence of Ramsey's tragic death to the city early yesterday morning, and no tified Coroner Cornelius of the facts. Yes terday afternoon, the coroner left for the scene of the fire to secure the body of Ramsey and bring It to the morgue, where an inquest will be held. Coroner Cornelius returned to the city at 11 o'clock last night, bringing the re mains of Ramsey with him. While at the burned home of Ramsey, Coroner Cor nelius made an investigation of the sur roundings, and discovered enough to war rant a further investigation. The body of Ramsey was found as described by Mr. Gillahan. and in addition the charred remains of his dog were found lying close to the body. The box in which Ramsey kept his valuable papers was found, but the contents had all been burned, includ ing, it is claimed, $13,000 in notes which he held against different parties. Today Coroner Cornelius will again visit the place, accompanied by Sheriff Scars, when a further investigation of the lire and death of Ramsey will be made. SUPT. STEVENS'. VOTE. A Stuiii7uIinr-lHock: in "Way of Can vassing: Text-Hook Ballots. ' Attorney-General Chamberlain has been called upon to decide whether or not Miss Nellie Stevens, superintendent of public instruction of Union county, is entitled to a vote in the selection of school books for the ensuing six years. ' The board of education -Vas in session at Salem Wednesday, anoVMiss Stevens' vote was presented. It was received and placed on file, and then, when it came to canvas the votes, State Superintendent McElroy refused to proceed. There were two votes from Union county that of Miss Stevens, the recognized superintend ent, and one from J. L. Carter, who was ousted from office by a decision of the circuit court. Superintendent McElroy now wants the attorney-general to decide who has the right to vote for Union county, and, until he does, no canvas will be made of the 41 votes on file. Miss Stevens has her certificate of election, but Mr. Carter refused to abide by the decision of Judge Clifford, and he has appealed to the supreme court in the hope still of getting the office that a majority of the voters of Union, county elected Miss Stevens to fill. The case will come up for hearing in the supreme court next May. a PnMBeujjrers for San Francisco.

The first entry of prepared opiftm that ever paid duty at Taccma passed through the custom-house there Tuesday. It was the second and largest shipment in that Every rticl in the lvery OF OUR GREAT collection district. There was 41 pounds cf the drug, and the duty paid, at the rate of 50 a pound, amounted to $246. Only once before was a consignment of opium offered at that port for payment of duty. That came consigned to .a Portland Chi nese merchant a few months ago, and was promptly seized, for under the treaty of 1SS1 between China and the United States no Chinese can import opium.

It was ex pected that Mount Tabor Villa lodge and officers would be present, and, with the number that Fidelity should turn out, there would be a large attendance; but the villalodge could not come and Fidelity members did not care to face the storm. However, arrangements had been previ ously made for a splendid lunch of sand wiches, cake and coffee, and the order could not be countermanded or changed. The refreshments came up to the lodge room by the cartload, and the few who were present were aghast over the pros pect of being compelled to handle all that had come. There were four and a half gallons of coffee, a gallon of cream' and a hundred ham sandwiches, besides a cake three feet square. There were only 19 present, and some of the biggest eaters of the lodge were present- After Past Master Zane had installed the few officers, the rest "fell on the luncheon" The grand lodge officers heard of the af fair yesterday, and are greatly disturbed over the possibility of Fidelity turning in a lot of death losses as a result of the ef forts of 19 trying- to get away with a lunch provided for 100.
