"Pixies" Close Successful Two Nights' Engagement at Astoria Theatre. A good slxed house greeted the sec ond appearance of the amateur talent production "The Pixies" at the As toria Theatre last night. The presen tation was a highly creditable one tn every way and deserves the more praise when tho extreme youth of most of the participants and the short time given to preparation Is conslJ ered. According to Indications the financial end of tho entertainment has been n decided success and proven a profitable undertaking to Its promot ers. Headed -for Astoria Tho Eugene to say i Register has the follow ing about tho "Midnight Flyer." played there recently and now headed for this city: "The 'Midnight Flyer' tut ted across the local theatrical horizon last evening and left In Its lurid wake not one green spot In the desert of art. It would take a column of spuce to set forth the production's dramatic and literary Infelicities, suffice It to say, that It was Just melodrama, sprinkled with unwholesome, unsani tary and undeodorlxcd 'comedy.' The plot was a highly Improbable as the visions of a rarebit fiend. The villain looked fierce and on several occasions he said 'Curse you!' and brandished a gun which went off at intervals, and emitted real smoke. He was espe dully bloodthirsty, having poisoned the heroine's father, tossed her moth er Into tho back drop of an ocean scene, touched off a bomb on a nocean liner on which he was a passenger, and committed other real devilish acts. It was enough to make a Bow ery girl chew her gum to shreds and prompt the street gamin to throw away In disgust his volume of 'Dia mond Dick' as a poor vehicle for por traying strenuous human acts and emotions. The plot centers around a girl waif who In boy s garb, la a rather uncertain quantity on the New York waterfront. The Inevitable rich uncle appears on the scene and through gome process of Sherlock Holmes deduction 'discovers' hts long lost niece at once In the person of this walf. The money she la heiress to then serves as a basla for plot and counterplot on the part of the villain. Then, other people appear on the scene, for no particular cause or reason, and the process of unraveling a rather vague plot proceeds through five acts. In the end villainy was re buked, vlrture rewarded and the man agement jingled the spare change of the amusement seeker In his pocket."

LATEST NEWS OF MELANOPE Oklahama and Harvest Queen Doing Borne Buy 8tunte on the River San Mateo in From tha Sound Waterfront Note,. I This Is the way the Portland boys put It up on Captain Harry Kmken the moment his back Is turned for a bit of an outing: "Captain Hurry Kmken, an olJ-tlme river pilot, has gone to Ban Francisco for the purpose of escorting his daughter to Portland. The latter has been In California for some time and disliked to make the trip north alone. Accordingly her father went south to meet her. To the river men It is a matter of deep concern. Captain Em ken went south on the train. One faction cf the pilots aver that the thoughts of ceaslckness caused him to prefer the overland route, while oth ers allege that It wos nothing more than the Idea that the masters of vessels plying to southern ports would certainly get even with any pilot that took passage on any craft bound out of this port. Captain Emken will be calltd upon to explain Immediately on his return to duty." The master of the German ship Ar thur Fltger, which arrived here on Wednesday last and was promptly fined I5,00 for being without proper bills of health, yesterday filed his for mal protest, addressed to Collector of Customs C. W. Carnahan, In the fol lowing terms: "I, G. Hopken, master of the Ger man ship Arthur Fltger, arrived this date from Bristol, England, via Ant werp, do hereby ask for the remlsselon of the fine placed against said vessel this day, by you, for not having a consular bill of health from the Amer ican consul at said port of Bristol, England. And In extenuation of this neglect will state that I did not take charge of said vessel, Arthur Fltger, until after her arrival at Antwerp, and the former captain made no men tion to me of the matter and I was not aware that the same was neces sary. In view of the facts above stated. I most respectfully ask that you consider this request, and that the fine may be canceled." Captnln N. K. Wills, of the wrecked British bark Melanope, now lying In the lower harbor here, has been de tached from command of the vessel and ordered to report to the owners' representatives at Portland. He has been given over the custody of her chronometers, charts and slopchest and will leave at once. Just what Captain Wills' withdrawal means can not be determined; but It la surmised that her owners are Indisposed to begin the re-equipment of the vessel on the basis of the bid figures at hand, from $25,000 upward, and will turn her over to the underwriters to make the most of and to discount the claim of The Northland's people as It may be adjudicated in the federal courts later. The steamship Columbia arrived at her pier here yesterday morning from Portland, en route to San Fanclsco, with her cabins fairly full and all the felght she could carry. x Among those departing hence as passengers on the Columbia were Captain and Mrs. A. L. Babbldge, Mrs. Mary Morgan, In the saloon; and John Marsh and Miss Sarah Marsh; John Sanders and John Davis, in the second cabin. Aside from these, there were on board the follow ing well known people: J. I Beattle, the Portland printer; G. W. Ellis, of San Francisco; E. A. Montelth, of San Francisco, who lived here some years ago, and worked In the Iron Industry; W. R. Hume, and others. The Colum bia sailed at 11 a. m. The ship Berlin went up-stream yes terday on the Oklahama's hawsers, and will load out lumber once more for the -Bay City, before getting In line for her annual trip to the sal mon fisheries at Nushagak, Alaska.

The steamer San Mateo reported at the custom house here yesterday, on her way from Tacoma to Portland. Hearing Today Deputy District At torney J. A. Eakin, of this city, yes terday had a talk with C. Roy Fox ' ody of her husband to the metropo tn the county jail, and It Is probable ' l'3- that the young man will have a pre-j - llmlnary hearing before Justice Good man this afternoon.
