!CHE MORNING OBEGQNIAN. TUESDAY, 'APRIL1 25, 1905. 1AGK FROM SAMAR IS FOURTEENTH Soldiers Return From -Philippines .After Two Years of Garrison Duty. ARRIVE ON THE SHERIDAN Townspeople of Vancouver Give tho Homecomers Hearty Welcome. Frankie Uee, Stowaway on Buford, Brought Here. Straight in the tack, lean at the belt, with bronzed face and clear eye, the Fourteenth Infantry returned to Vancou ver barracks yesterday, after an absence of seven years. To the regiment as a whole it seemed like a home-coming, for when It was filled to its limit at the outbreak of the Spanish war the recruits were mostly farmer boys from Oregon and "Washington. Many of these same lads returned yesterday, soldiers every inch, stepping to the martial strain, happy and easy-going of manner. If "tiie health of the Fourteenth is any criterion, the climate of Samar, In the Philippines, is perfect. During the last two years, during the time the Four teenth was stationed there, the only loss was of a soldier, who was kicked by a mule. Fighting was scarce on this last trip of the regiment, garrison duty com ing wholly to its share, and hardly the smell of gunpowder. It was not even among the Moros, where some fanatic at least breaks loose with a bolo knife oc casionally and makes life interesting to all whom he encounters till killed. Where the Fourteenth was moral force only was necessary. Brigands Feared Americans. The Filipino brigands, the pulajanes, the only disturbers of the island, had a mighty fear of the "Americanos" and re mained out of reach. Once, only once, did they have the hardihood during those two years to challenge battle, and that was towards the last, when a small de- tachment went out to help some Filipino scouts, who were in difficulties. Then a robber chieftain sent word to the white soldiers that he would give them a skir mish if they liked. They did like, but were under orders to avoid conflict. How ever, they found occasion to pursue a course that lead into the neighborhood of the Filipinos, and after a few shots were fired they had the countryside to them selves. This was too much like child's play for the Fourteenth, so its detach ment went back to barracks. The transport Sheridan, which brought the soldiers to Portland, left Calbayog, Samar, March IS, the voyage finishing yesterday morning. Stops were made at Nagasaki and Honolulu, at the latter place at the same time as the Buford. so that old frltnds" from the Nineteenth had opportunity to shake hands with those Irom the Fourteenth. Frankie liee Returned. Opportunity was also given to transfer pretty Frankie Lee. stowaway, from the Buford to the Sheridan. Frankie, who is just 20, decided to follow the fortunes of a soldier lover in the Nineteenth and .stowed away in the Buford when she left here some time ago. The man In khaki told her that, though the regulations pre vented him taking "her with him, she might hide herself, and, not being dis covered -until they were out at sea, she could be with him on the journey and the marriage could take place in Manila. Vain hope and empty dream. Frankie, in tears and heartbroken, was ordered back from Honolulu and returned on the Sheridan. Disembarked yesterday morning from the Sheridan directly to river boats, the soldiers were taken to Vancouver Bar racks. Running up the slip of the wharf within the reservation, they formed and submitted to having their baggage over hauled by the Custom-House officials. The examination was hardly more than perfunctory, for, as the inspectors said, each man was allowed $100 worth of new stuff, and practically none had that. In the first place, the soldiers were return ing from their second campaign in the islands, and had ceased to care for the curiosities they picked up there. In the second place, living was high, beer 25 cents a glass, and the soldiers had to make a choice between going thirsty and being broke. Welcomed at Vancouver. The townspeople of Vancouver, the la dles of the Barracks, and the few sol diers left there were at the wharf to receive the returning soldiers. No cheer was given, but a handshake that went by a shorter course to the heart. Many had former friends, and all realized that Van couver is the nearest thing to home that the regiment has. All expressed In strong terms their gratitude at being in the Barracks once more. As the companies stood in the hot sun on the wharf they grew very warm, and some were allowed time to go out of the reservation and up the street. There they Sound the sign, "Beer, 5 cents," and witn a smile on their faces they would go in and order a "small" one. Needless to cay, they were given tho largest glasses the, saloons afforded, the large flare-top ones, wide and deep, and that much beer lor 5 cents tasted good to the soldiers. Then with the band playing and the col ors flying, the men in khaki marched to quarters. A few there were whose time had run out just before leaving the islands or during the journey, and these- foregath ered, not stopping to take off their khaki, and with swagger canes came over to 6ee If Portland had changed much since they last looked upon Burnslde street.

WANT DRIVEWAY OILED Citizens .Petition for Surface Dress ing on Linntdn Road. A petition asking to have the Llnnton driveway treated with oil dressing for a distance of four and one-half miles Be yond the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds, was filed In the County Court yesterday by Sol Blumauer. The petition boars the signatures of many prominent citizens, and Mr. Blumauer stated that tho plan was Indorsed by manufacturers. jobbers, automoblllsts, owners of fine teams, members of the Portland Driving Association, and by business men gen erally. He said the execution of the plan would result in the establishment of a resort at Linnton that would excell anything of the sort that has ever been maintained In the county. It is asserted that the improvement of this road would cause many persons to build" Summer homes along the river ad jacent to It. The view from the river Is a beautiful one, and the road winds close to the river bank beneath wooded hills and the scene everywhere is pic turesque. The County Court has already deter mined to construct a modern road from the Exposition grounds to Llnnton, under the supervision of H. W. Canfleld. (for merly with the Federal' Good Roads Department. The county Is now putting in a steam rock crusher for that pur pose.

The Oregcnlan of the 24th Inst, re ports that the bookies have posted their flrst bets on the Mayoralty race in the pri maries, with odds of 0 to 1 against Merrill. I quote: "As soon as- the sporting 'gents north of the deadline heard of these Juicy odds they hocked their Jewelry and sparklers and flooded the books with so much money that Merrill has backed from sixes down to fours." In the same article all candidates for the Mayoralty were rated seemingly In propor tion to the sarablers' wishes. As they rate me low in the list the natural Inference Is that their wishes for my success are low. The gamblers' predictions, however, have seldom proved as true as the adage that straws tell the way the wind blows O. H. THOMAS. Called Up in the Nljiht for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

"Now, that's my style of a comedy; something effervescent, with good, healthy humor, and acted Just right, not overdone, you know, which is so easy." So spoke one df Portland's prominent bankers as he, with his .wife and family, emerged from the Columbia last night. And this seems to express the sentiments of all audiences. "Pink Dominoes," the three act farce-comedy In which the popular Columbia Stock Company Is making Its farewell performances, is sparkling with "healthy humor." For this reason It ap peals to all. Full of funny situations, side-splitting complications, and rich, hu morous lines. It makes the fact all the more deplorable that this is the last weok of this popular organization. For a delightful evening's entertainment see "Pink Dominoes." "East Lynne" Greater Than Ever. The power of some plays an Infinitely small number by the way Is beyond all human understanding. The. already popu lar Empire stock company opened a week's engagement of "East Lynnc" (which Is perhaps the greatest emotional drama ever written) Sunday afternoon, and despite extreme weather conditions the theater was simply packed to tho doors with audiences whose sympathy and enthusiasm with each varying scene in the familiar story, proved the com pany's ability to give a perfect production more than anything else could have done.

COMMAND OF SCRIPTURES f.EIoqxient Preacher Declares That i God's Law Requires the Love : of Fellowmen, and That It Is a Duty Incumbent. "The greatest preacher who has visited Portland In many a day:" is the general conviction in regard to Rev. F. B. Meyer, of London, after hearing his sermons. Thi3 impression is sot made by bursts of elo quence or by flights of oratory, but by straight truths on holy living, with home ly illustrations in quaint language which reach the very souls of his hearers. He speaks clearly and quietly, with occasional flashes of wit, but back of all the rich personality of the man, the "life hid with Christ in God" gives force to each state ment. Mr. Meyer, In speaking of his meeting, said that they would not be of the same character as the ovansellstie campaign just closed. He would not conduct after meetings, but woukl seek to Impress the truth, which the audience, as a whoK could carry directly home. After a llvf song service, led by Professor Belcher and a large chorus choir, he would begin speaking, and the entire service would b for one hour only. Ho speaks at the First Presbyterian Church each afternoon I at 3. and at the White Temple every night a 7:30 o'clock. Tonight, he will speak also to men only at tne i. 31. i-. A., at 9:15 o'clock. Mr. Meyer's addresses are each connect ed as a series, and it is very Important that all of them should bo heard. If one Is fully to comprehend tho system of truth which he presents. Tho attendance at both the services yesterday was good, but the various pastors expressed sur prise that either of the auditoriums should be able to hold the people. They bellevo that the White Temple will not be able to accommodate the crowds who will want to hear Mr. Meyer when they once fully understand what a privilege it is to hear a man of his ability. In his Introductory remaks. Dr. Brough er said: "The people of Portland have an opportunity of hearing right now what thousands .of people go hundreds of miles to Northfield, Mass.. every Summer to hear." Mr. Meyer took the parable of the Good Samaritan, and spoke, in part, as follows: "The circumstances out of which it arose arc familiar. Christ was asked by an honest lawyer, evidently a student of the Bible, how he could live the best life. He said, in fact. 'I am sick and tired of the life that ordinary men live, that I have been living myself. Is It possible in this world to live God's life? The secret of such a life is love love to God and love to your fellowmen. If you know how to love with God's love, then you know something, at least, of the life of God. Wo can love with our strength when we do not love with our mind or our heart. It must be remembered, as the parable teaches, that our neighbor Is not always one to whom w;e would be natural ly attracted. In fact, he may. be one against whom wo have some personal an tipathy. It is easy to like people who are naturally attractive and agreeable, but that love Is by no means the highest form of divine love. God loves us not because we are fahr. but to make us so. He loves us not because we are good, but to make us good. "Supposing there be In your home some aged relative, contorted by rheumatism, apt to yield to querulous complaints and to murmur at the least interruption, you may find It very difficult to love her with your heart. You may. however, love her with your strength by ministering and doing errands for her; you may love her with your mind by thinking, planning and devising methods for her comfort; by and by. you will come to love her i with your soul, appreciating qualities in her character wnicn Deiore nau escaped our notice. Finally, you will come to love her with your heart, and when at last the poor, emaciated body Is con signed to Mother Earth, you will stand beside the grave with a flood of genuine tears. If there is a person with whom you have some difficulty or misunder standing, then go serve him. love him with your strength, and It will not bo long before your differences will be settled and you will love him with your heart. It Is simply marvelous, how compassion leads to true affection, and how we come to love people to whom we perform kindly and unselfish deeds. If you are not doing the right thing by your neighbor, you cannot live In the spirit of love. Real goodneas Is In being good where you live every day. If you would have God greatly bless you, get right with your tellowmen." One Divorce Is Granted. OREGON CITY. Or., April 24. (Special.)
