RESCUED FROM CHINESE
ABAXDOXED WHITE CHILD TAKES
FROM OPIUM DBS.
Bator Had Been Adopted fcy the
Keeper of a Resort for the Disso
lute of AH Stations.
Lin Kin. a laughing-eyed, pretty white
toaby girl, 21 months old, was rescued
yesterday from the opium den of Linn
Kin, at 63U Second street. The rescue
was effected by Officer Hawley, 01 tne
Boys and Girls' Aid Society, and Detec
tive Kerrigan, and before they got the
baby safely away a fight ensued between
the officers and five Chinamen. Two of
the Chinese were knocked avX.
Lum Kin Insists that he legally adopted
the baby, and secured the necessary pa
pers of surrender from the baby's guar
dian, Mrs. R. A. Green, who conducts a
children's, nursery at 2S7 Second street
In the meantime the baby Is being cared
for at the home of the Boys' and Girls'
Aid Society. East Twenty-eighth and
Ankeny streets. The name of the baby's
parents is at present unknown.
Wont Den in Chlnotorn.
The police say that Lum Kin's opium
joint Is one of the worst In Chinatown,
and .that It is a resort of dissolute Cau
casians and Chinese. Lum Kin is -a rich
merchant, owning Interests In different
Chinese fish and produce stores In this
city and Astoria. About 12 years ago he
married a Chinese wife, and Mrs. Lum
Kin became one ot the most envied
women in Chinatown. She had lots of
money, swell costumes and Cinderella
slippers, but as the years passed on she
and her husband were not happy they
had no children. About the end of Au
gust, 1S99. Lum Kin saw his friend, Ju
Hawk, and said he wanted to adopt a
'Mellcan" baby as his own. Ju Hawk In
turn saw Mrs. R. A. Green, who, for a
consideration, agreed to deliver a whte
baby born at her house about 20 days
before. The Hawks and the Kins did not
Inquire into the story of the white baby's
parentage, and Mrs. It. A. Green signed
the necessary papers surrendering the
baby into Lum Kin's care.
When the white baby arrived at Lum
Kin's house a party was given in her
honor. Pipes were smoked, strange fowls
were cooked yea, and boiled rice was on
the bill of fare for days. Aa soon as Lin
Kin, as the baby came to be called, could
toddle Tt was Lum Kin's chief delight to
take her for a walk along Second street,
and he raised envious thoughts In the
hearts of other Chinamen.
But Lum Kin's dream of peace was to
.receive a xude awakening. Officer Haw
ley, In the course -of his rounds, recently
hoard of the white "baby In the Kim
pipe-dream resort, and after he and the
police had a conference It was decided
that Lum Kin's opium joint was not a
proper place for an American baby girl.
Haw ley appeared before District Attor
ney Chamberlain, and one of the latter's
assistants, W. N. Gatens, was instructed
to draw up a petition asking for tne
commitment of "Jane Doe, a child of the
Caucasian race, now in the custody of
certain Chinamen In this county and
state, -who are the owners of a certain
opium den, the names of said Chinamen
being unknown."
Fougrtot the Detective.
Judge Cake Issued a warrant yesterday
for Lin Kin, legally called Jane Doe, and
Detective Kerrigan and Officer Hawley
visited Lum Kin's place. Five Chinamen
were lolling about, and they seemed to
guess by Instinct that the two officers had
come to take away the baby. Lum Kin
was not there, but one Chinaman flew
at Kerrigan's thrpal and was promptly
floored by a right hook on the point of
the chin. Hawley rushed past" In the
melee to a foul,' narrow den with prison
, lars for windows, where the white baby
was sleeping. He gathered up the little
one just as Kerrigan knocked out another
Chinaman "who was -doing his best to
strangle him.
"Run with the baby," said Kerrigan,
and, srasping the baby in his arms, Haw
ley got to the street, dashed up Pine and
boarded a trolley-car en route for the
home of th'e Boys' and Girls' Aid Society.
Meantime, In the store, the three remain
ing Chinamen had fled, and two of their
countrymen who had gone up against
Kerrigan's knockout blows- were in a
dazed condition on the floor.
Mrs. Lum Kin was upstairs when the
capture took place, and she wept and
became hysterical when she heard that
the pretty white baby had been taken
away by the police. "My baby," she,
sobbed, and, accompanied by an excited,
jabbering crowd of Chinamen, she walked
Into the police station, asking the police
officials why her baby was arrested.
"Mo love white baby," she moaned, and
the Chinese bodyguard loudly protested
that she took good care of the child,
and fed and dressed her. Mrs. Kim was
advised to consult a lawyer.
LonRcd for Chinese Stepmother.
Tvmn little TJn Kim arrived at the
Bbys and Girls' Aid Society In the arms
of Officer Hawley, she stared with amaze
ment at the new world Into which she had
been quickly ushered. Her little brown
tycs almost popped out with amazement.
Here everything was bright and pretty.
She saw white faces that seemed to her
almost as dazzling as the bright sunshine
that came streaming through the win
dows. She heard strange voices that
murmured to her sympathetically as her
strange story was told, but nevertheless
strangeljv She missed the fondling of her
foster-mother, she missed the sound of
ner low voice breathing out a mother's
fondness In the Chinese patois, and more
than anything else the missed the dark
some gloominess and noisome smells of
her little cell. That had been home to
her. This new place, so big, so wonder
ful, so fragrant with the perfume of
flowers, was strange to her. Her poor,
little homesick heart was strained almost
to breaking. She cried and hid her face
in the embrace of the kind nurse that was
soothing her.
But like a storm this burst soon passed
away. She was still In her Chinese cos
tume when an Oregonlan reporter called
to see the young miss with such a strange
story. The experience of the day had made
the babe of two years and a half wise
f -enough to fear men. Had not a horrid
man. white man at that, carried her
away? and had not she seen another
strike down the man that said to her such
funny things In Chinese? Maybe this
man would carry her away again. And
she cried plteously. Mrs. Graham and her
nurse soon attracted her attention to
more novel things. They had toys, small
tin soldiers, and figures that whirled
around mysteriously with a buzzing
eound. She looked at them eagerly, and
chattered out some Chinese words that
sounaed something like "Fee, fo, fum."
and stretched out her dainty hand to
receive the toy.
And then sne laughed cunningly.
The babv was dressed in typical Chi
nese fashion. In all the colors of Joseph's
boat. She had a red and yellow jacket,
with purple sleeves. She wore trousers
like a boy. In dazzling colors of maroon
and green. And on top of her crown
ehe coquettlshly wore a cap of the same
bizarre colors. Her skin was white
enough to show that she was of the
Caucasian race, but darkened by the
mode of her life. Mrs. Graham, the
matron of the home, said she looked" like
a "noui-kopt baby." When, her cap
was off. her head showed signs t)f having
been shaved around the edges. In the Chi
nese fashion, while on top it grew In a
rather long tuft, showing Its brown color.
round her neck was a silver necklace.
with quaint charms, and around Tier
chubby wrists were green glass brace
lets that shfe prized dearly, for she reach
ed aulckly after them when one was
taken off for a glimpse at the wrinkle
that nice, fat babies should always wear.
While The Oregonlan reporter was at
the home views were exchanged on the
Vicsfloo whether the baby was .fat or
only nlump. It was decided that she was
a lair specimen of a good healthy baby.
The deduction naturally followed that the
babe had been fairly well fed by her
guardians. Her age was also called Into
question. The maiden "bashfully refused
to testify on this point, gurgling and coo
ing pleasantly, while she chattered unin
telligibly to her hearers, who finally
agreed on two years and a half-
"She Is talking Chinese." said one of
the nurses. "I have heard many a baby
talk, -and I know that she Is not talking
English babytalk. If her 'Chinese mother
were here, I venture to say she could
talk to the poor little thing."
The baby was put on the floor to see If
she could walk. She could stand up on
her feet, but before her walking was fur
ther tested, she burst Into tears again
at the sight of another man, a casual
visitor, who peeped In at the door, and
she was snatched tip Into the arms of her
watchful protector.
"Ung go fee," chirped -baby, when she
felt the arms of her nurse about her,
and she laughed gleefully at her escape
from the horrid man who" was frightened
away.
Her little eyAc winked with drowsiness.
V Ji
WHITE BABY-GIRL RESCUED
and she nestled up on nurse's shoulder In
a friendly manner.
After the visit was over, baby was
whisked off" to be given the first thing
that a thoughtful woman would think of
a. bath. This was another new sensa
tion to baby. She was splashed with
water. She was rubbed, and soaped.
"Ough," she grunted. But soon the
agony was over. She was as s" eet and
clean as a baby in a soap "a..
Then -she was rocked to sleep to dream
of .her gentle Chinese foster-mother and
the adventures of the day.
Description of Lsm Kin's Resort.
Accompanied by Hawley and Kerrigan,
o rT-tuT- trUHori T.um'Kln's place, later
In the afternoon, and found two Chinamen j
who scowled at the party "Jveep quid. ,
You know what the other fellows got,
said Kerrigan, significantly, and after a
Jabbering the Chinamen became quiet. At
the end of the store counter a bureau
drawer was pulled open, and about a
dozen cans containing opium were found.
Next to the bureau was the badly-ventilated,
unclean box-pen, with its prison
bars, where Hawley found the baby.
Dirty rags lay on the floor there was,
no cot Two opium benches came next,
and the odor of the drug was nauseating.
A rickety stairway was- ascended, and
the floor above proved to be the opium
chamber proper, where opium devotees
had recently slept on benches and couch
es as they "bit" their pipes. There
was hardly a clean, wholesome article In
the den everything reeked of opium.
One of Many Unfortunates.
Mrs. R. A. Green, when seen, said she
could not remember the name of the
baby's parents probably the name was
Jones. "You see, we have a good many
babies In this business, and It Is not
possible to keep track of all of them,"
she explained. "Why. the baby I gave
to Lum Kin was born In this house near
ly two years ago. "No, I do not keep a
register of the babies there are too many
nf tvipm Tho mother of the baby you
ask about is an American, and I remem
ber she was a nice young woman. She
said she wished someone to adopt her
baby, and Just then Ju Hawk told me
of Lum Kin. He said the Kins were
good people, and that they were in the
fish business. I did not know that Kin
carried on an opium den. But why are
they making such a fuss about this one
child?- There have been' other American
children adopted by Chinese In this city.
In this Instance, Lum Kin legally adopt
ed the baby, and took good care of It.
Yes, I signed the papers surrendering the
child to him, and I thought the baby's
parents also signed the papers, but 1
guess I'm mistaken In this."
Justice Kraemer was seen, and he ad
mitted that he had been asked to repre
sent Lum Kin In court and had declined
the case. "I wish to say, however, that
Chinese Insist that Lum Kin took good
care of the child, and used her kindly
according to Chinese ideas." he contin
ued. "Lum Kin says he loves the child
as his own and that he will fight the
case to the highest courts In this coun
try. Ot "course, as to whether Lum Kin
place is a proper habitation for. a white
child or whether he Is a proper guardian
for her, that Is a matter for the court
to determine."

Trades Assembly Acts In Banfleld
Veysey Company Dispute.
The Federated Trades Assembly, at Its
meeting last night, discussed the trouble
of the Banfteld-Veysey Fuel Company
with the Team-Drivers' Union at great
length. A motion was finally carried to
stand by the Team-Drivers' Union in any
action It may see fit to take, either in
declaring a boycott against the offending
company or In. compromising the trouble.
The protracted discussion was not on the
menU -pf the trouble. Sentiment against
the Banfteld-Veysey Company was unani
mous among those present; but the-fact
that the Team-Drivers' Union has" not
formally placed the com any on tie un'alr
'list made the matter a somewhat diffi
cult one to deal with. The assurance was
given, however, that unless an agreement
Is reached before next Tuesday night,
when the Team-Drivers' Union me.ets, ac
tion placing the company on the unfair
list will be taken.
A communication was read from Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, urglnc that the assem
bly do all In Its power to aid the- machin
ists In their struggle for a reduction In
the hours of labor. Further than this the
Impending strike of the machinists was
not mentioned in the meeting.

TEST OF HEW HOSE BATTERY
Monitor Nowle Proves to Be a Splen
did Success.
,Under the direction of Chief Campbell,
a very successful test was made yes
terday afternoon of the "hose battery"
or monitor nozzle, which has lately been
added to the equipment of the Fire De
partment. The test was made on the
river front, opposite the foot of Stark
street. , . - -
The nozzle or battery Is piaceo upon an
ordinary hosa cart. Three lines of hose
can be attached to It. and can discharge
their full capacity through it At the
test made yesterday afternoon the bat
tery discharged 1350 gallons per minute
with ease. This was the1 full pumping ca
pacity of two engines. . S
Three different size nozzies iu -
tached to the battery, one two Inches,
the second two and one-quarter and the
third two and one-half Inches In diame
ter. The smaller nozzle threw the water
about 150 feet, but the value of the bat
tery does not lie in the distance which
It will carry. water, but in the immense
volume wlilch It discharges.
'" The battery, has been in the posses
sion of the department about two years,
but has never been used. It was attached
first to a chemical engine, but Chief Camp
bell decided that the placing of it on a
hose cart was more practicable. ,Thus
placed. It will do practically the work of
12 men at a fire, only one1 man.belng re-
quired" to attend it. The nozzle can be
quickly turned Inany direction by means
of'cranks.
The test yesterday afternoon was made
Injheipresence of a large number of peo
ple who gathered to watch the proceed
ings. "The city is put to no extra expense
by .nslng the nozzle, and the work of
fitting, it up for use was done solely by
firemen. Chief Campbell is highly pleased
with 'the outcome 'of the scheme and be
lieves that the new instrument will prove
a 'most effective fire fighter.

UNWRITTEN HISTORY.
Fact About Senatorial Election of
j 1885.
' PORTLAND, May 17. (To the Editor.)
I'notlce that a writer questions the correctness-of
The Oregonlan's history as
regards the Senatorial hold-up of 18S5. In
One respect the writer is correct, so far
as the journals go, but those who are
familiar with that contest are aware of
the correctness of The Oregonlan's state
ment when it said that "Hon. Sol HIrsch
came within one vote of being elected."
This is an unwritten fact, and well known
to those who were endeavoring to pre
vent, the election of a Republican at that
session. Mr. HIrsch had a majority of tho
Republican votes in the Legislature. There
were-52 Republicans and 38 Democrats In
th& Legislature at that time. His vote
fluctuated, but he held a majority nearly
the entire session, and finally received
37 out of the 52 votes on, the last ballot.
There "Was no caucus, and Mr. HIrsch
made an open and honorable fight from
tlie start to the finish, and was justly en
titled to the election at the hands of the
Republicans, but a minority defeated him.
It' was a, well-known fact that there were
eight Democrats ready at any time that
thefr votes would elect to go to Mr.
HIrsch. The arrival of an emissary from
Colonel" Vilas, who was urging the Demo
crats to go over in a body to Colonel
Knight, came near bringing about Mr.
Hirsch's election, as the eight Democrats
and others did not propose to be dictated
to"; as to' what Republican, if any, they
should support.
Had Mr. HIrsch been so Inclined, he
could easily have secured his election. He
was a member of the Senate, and had
he either absented himself or not voted,
it would only have required 45 votes, and
the 37 Republicans and eight Democrats
would have supplied that number. As 1
was one of the most interested parties in
holding up that election, being a member
of the-National Democratic Committee at
that time and acting under Its instruc
tions, first, to elect a Democrat if possible;
second, defeat an election, and third,
hands off and let the Republicans fight It
out, I was In a position to know the
status of the contest from the start to
the finish, and I regret to say, It took
hard -work to keep those eight Democrats
In line and prevent them from voting for
Mr. HIrsch, and I know had their votes
elected, there was no Influence that could
be brought to bear that could have pre
vented them from going to him.
So your "Blue Book" Is correct when It
savs . that Mr. HIrsch came within one
vnto of nn election and. for the sake
of hisiory, the unwritten fact of the con
test of 1885 should supplant the written
Journals. Mr. HIrsch came within one
vote of an election, and he had it in his
power to furnish that one vote, but be
It said to his credit that he did not de
sire the position bad enough to get It in
such a dishonorable way. He couldi either
have absented himself or not voted, in
which event 45 votes would have elected,
but he -would have Indirectly voted for
.himself. ,
Ex-Mayor Storey would not have lost
such "an opportunity. Be It also said to
Mr. HIrsch's credit that he made a hard,
earnest and honorable contest, and I have
every reason to know that the eight
Democrats who were ready to vote for
him at any time were being Influenced by
leading Eastern Democratic personal
friends in their action and not for mer
cenary purpose. As to Mr. HIrsch s fut
ure candidacy I know nothing, but haVe
my doubts. In the contest of 18S5 the writ
ten history supplies yery vague Idea
of the real unwritten facts.

the output, raise the price of the product
or reduce wages of employes but to cen

cost of the manufactured product.

"I had only used Postum a week when

Then don't wear glasses unless you know they fit,
and are doing you good, for glasses are ground in so

good results. Each eye should be tested separately,
and glasses ground to fit. I have had twelve years
practical experience. Charge you nothing for exami
