THE MORNING OKEGONIAN. WBDNESUAr, MAY 31, 11HJS. LONEFIR MEMORIAL Grand Army Men Honor Their Hero Dead. GEN.-ANDERSON'S TRIBUTE Speaks' of the Brave Men Who Gave Their .Iilves for the Sake or Country oh Many a . Battlefield. As touching: a sight as that of chil dren on parade was the procession of war veterans to Lone Fir Cemetery yesterday afternoon. The old guard, all that are left of the once mighty Grand Army of the Republic, tramped, some still sturdily, but many feebly, through the dust to do honor to the memory of their comrades. Hardly a man there who had not seen three score years, some with long, patriarchal beards, but most with the military moustache and goatee, soldiers yet. A beneficent woman in honor of her father provided a string of carriages for those who were too lame or too fee ble to walk, those who had won hardly the red badge of courage. There were men in these carriages too feeble to walk a few dozen steps, but still de termined to remember the brave men they had fought beside. Men with one foot in the grave leaned heavily on their canes as they carried a handful of roses to lay at the base of a fellow sol dier's headsfbne. Great crowds of women waited at the cemetery fcr the Memorial day serv ices, and while the children picked the wild strawberries among the graves, the veterans gathered about the monu ment to the Spanish War Veterans, honoring their dead and those of the younger generation alike. It is only when the pioneers or the Civil War veterans gather that the fine old people of the land get together. There were a few women there who might have been mothers to veterans, dozen were wives and hundreds daughters.- -The granddaughters and great-granddaughters were legion. Of the yuung men there were not many more than the handful of militiamen who escorted their seniors. More touching than the procession even were the teeble voices which sang "'Let the Dead and the Beautiful Rest" and "The Sword of Bunker Hill." Now and then a note would come out strong and full, but It was an effort to hold it through. At .the end the whole audi ence stood and sang "America." F. H. Shepherd recited Lincoln's ad dress at Gettysburg, Tom L. Johnson paid a tribute to the Navy, and Gen eral Thomaa Anderson, the principal speaker of the day was Introduced. "I must protest at being Introduced by my ''title." said the General, "Com rade Anderson 1 would rather have it. l-A-, A comrade I would rather be of those " 340vOoe men wno lie Dunea Detween An napolis afid the gulf. 150,000 of whom remained unnamed. They died In battle and were burled unidentified, but God looked on and approved of their deeds." General Anderson, who when in com mand of the Fourteenth Infantry must have Known each soldier personally, tolu of the memorial services over the body of an enlisted man when on his fim trip to the Philippines, and begin ning wltii him ran back through all (he list of soldier heroes this country nas known. When he spoke of his own comrades he seemed to look beyond his :iudler.ce and speak to them personally. An odd light came into his eyes and the audience was strangely moved, as though feeling the presence of the spirit of all those who fell in battle be side them. The services ended, a young bugler, such a hale young chap as he veterans were when they marched away in '61. lifted the clear, solemn note of "taps." where veterans are buried, and where the. body of D. G. A. Venvllle, Port-, land's naval hero.' lies burled. About 609 persons were present. At the Sell wood School a procession was formed with members of Picket Post in ad vance, followed by the school chil dren, which marched to the cemetery, where all graves of veterans were dec orated. The procession closed at the grave of D. G. A. Venvllle. where a monument was erected by the funds contributed by Portland. Following the decoration of the graves, brief exercises were conducted, in charge of Commander Chapman. Professor Strong, principal of the Sellwood School, marshaled the chil dren for the opening song, "America." Rev. D. A. Thompson followed in a patriotic address, closing by remark ing that the patriotic people' or the United States had another battle yet to fight. "There Is a tendency." he saJd, "to evade the enforcement of just laws on the part of those in high public places, and It Is our duty as true, patriotic citizens to see that laws are enforced." Another speaker called for on the spur of the moment, in speaking of D. G. A. Venvllle, a Sellwood schoolboy, who lost his life In the Philippines, said: "Friends, friends, lest we for get, let me call your attention to the grave in the corner of this cemetery where sleeps the body of Arthur -Venvllle. Portland's naval hero, who gave his life In the jungles of Luzon, and Is was fitting that the G. A. R. should decorate that grave. He Was a real hero. .After attending school in Sell wood, he entered the Navy as a com mon apprentice, and his body was brought back from the Philippines by the Government and burled with all the honors that Portland could bestow. On one side of the shaft erected by the people of Portland are the words: D. G. A. Venvllle. born June S. 1S81, who was wounded and captured with Lieutenant Gllmore, of the United States Navy, April 2, 1S99. at Baler Bay, Luzon, and was murdered by or der of Novlncio. an Insurgent General. February 20, 1900. We know not where his body lies, but his spirit is with God A short time after the erection of the' shaft, his body was found, identified and shipped to Portland by the General Government to sleep In the land of his nativity and under the flag for which he gave his life." The exercises closed with the school children singing "Columbia." BANKS WITH SPAIN HOW WHAT It. JjEE DUXX SAYS OP RUSSIAN EMPIRE. H. P. WOOD'S SUGGESTION Would Have Telegrams Sent Out Re garding Accommodations. PORTLAND. Or.. May 20. (To the Editor.) I would like to make the sug gestion through the columns of your paper that every one Interested In the success of the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion. In any way. send out on Friday moaning, June 2, to the Chamber of Commerce. Board of Trade, or leading newspaper of their old home the fol lowing telegram: Exposition a Great Success. Accommodations for Visitors Good. Charges Reasonable. AT THE MILWATJKIE CEMETERY Memory of Portland's Naval Hero, ' D. G. A. Venvllle, Is Honored. Picket Post. No. 1, G. A. IU of Sell wood, J. D. Capman. commanding, held a. memorial celebration yesterday fore noon in the Milwaukie Cemetery. The statement will be a truthful one. and how easy and inexpensive it will be .to show in this way our appreciation of Portland's enterprise and hospitality The full and interesting Associated Press dispatches, supplemented "by 5000 or 10.000 such personal telegrams, would undoubtedly serve to influence many hundreds of people to visit and investigate this prosperous section of our great Republic: prove a favor to the individual homeseeker and Investor and result in benefitting the entire Pa cific Coast, along whose shores surge the waters of the Ocean of Opportun ity. One of the progressive features of your splendid Commercial Club is its different state associations, practical ly every community being represented. Not a single member should fall to send a telegram similar in Import to the one suggested. One voice might be lost, but united in a chorus of ac clamation, the influence of those ten words will be felt in every town and hamlet throughout the United States. With best wishes for the success of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, believe me. H. P. WOOD. Secretary Chamber of Commerce, San Diego, Cal. Autos Burn in Boston. BOSTON. May 30.

See "The Girl in Blue." St. Petersburg Must Accept Humilia tion and Acknowledge De feat In the End. "Russia today ranks with Spain. Italy and the other nations that are passing. She has. In my estimation, slipped back from her position as a first power among the nations of the world and must now take her place with the lesser countries in Influence and strength.' said R. Lee Dunn, the special representative of Collier's Weekly, who evidently has evena higher opinion of the .little brown men and their ultimate chances for success than he did before the reeent battle which proved so disastrous to Russian Interests. "I canot tell anything about the final outcome," he continued, "The question Is too big. There is not a man living who knows all about the question. It Is too Intricate and too vast. But It would appear to me. looking at It from the standpoint of one who has been upon the scene, that the Japanese have the better end of the bargain and that there is nothing for Russia to do. sooner or later, but to humiliate herself and acknowledge her defeat. "At the beginning of the war the Jap anese were not in any position to make demands of China, but now they are. The conditions are to a certain extent reversed, and, where in the first place the Russian government could enforce its demands that Qhlna keep out of the flght, now it Is losing, if it has not lost, its power to back up its demands. On the other hand the Chinese look upon the Japs in the light of gods, and the Japanese are using more and more of them, in their operations. While they cannot openly demand assistance from China they are Jn a position to get It quietly and are doing.it. "In the beginning of the war the Jap anese brought thousands of coolies with the army to do the work of the camps. A few at a time these coolies have been put into the ranks and their places have been tilled with Chinese coolies who are mingling with the Japs and taught to do their work. This transformation Is going on all the time until all of the Japanese In the field are being put In the ranks and the camp work is being done by Chinese officered by Japs. You hear of the Chinesa bandits harassing the Russians, and It Is safe to say that more and more of this will be done as time passes. These things and a thousand others make the position of the Russians most em barrassing and my opinion is ihat Russia will have to submit to defiat." Heard in the Rotundas Senator Thomas H. Carter, of Montana, is at Portland, and will be one of -the enthusiastic ones Thursday at the open ing of the Exposition. He has come to Portland for that purpose and Intends to do his share In making the noise and Insuring the success of the Exposition's first day. Having contributed his share the Senator will return to his home In Montana on Thursday evening. Last night the Senator was sitting on the veranda at the hotel listening to the music and resting after his Journey to the city. "No, I have no official connection with the entertainment of Vice-President Fair banks," he explained In answer to a ques tion. "I have simply come here as a loyal citizen to do what I can toward the success of the day. I will do what I may be able to do in the entertainment of Vice-President Fairbanks and I am here to throw up my hat and yell at the psychological moment of the opening of the Exposition. il am not here except as one Interested In the success of the Fair," continued the Senator. "I am not a member of the Congressional Committee, not having been In the Senate at the time the ap pointments were made. I am not here In any official connection, therefore, but came as a citizen of a near-by state In order to be neighborly In your celebration. "The people of my state arc very much Interested In the Lewis and Clark Fair, and from Indications there will be a larger attendance here during the Summer from Montana than went to St. Louis last year from that state. It Is not In the Middle West that the Interest Is centered, but throughout the East as well. In ray travels I have noticed a greater POLICE STATION, NEAR EXPOSITION GROUNDS Don't tolerate that "Tired Feeling" I In the Spring nine out of every ten people are all used up or "run down." , The reason is simple. They lack nerve force. They are ' ' . - tired because their nerves are tired overworked. . - The nerves supply the heart, the stomach, all the organs . - of the body, with the power to do their work properly. When the nerves are tired and sick, they don't do their work properly, and the result is hadaches, dyspepsia, sleepless ness in a word, you feci used up. These are signs that you need new vitality, new nerve energy. " " , Paine's Celery Compound will give you new nerve power " by feeding the nerves themselves. It is a tonic for tired nerves. . Paine's Celery Compound is the prescription of Prof. E. E. Phelps, one of the most famous physicians in the his- tory of American medicine. This famous tonic has stood the test of iS years. Every physician knows the formula - - andT prescribes it in his practice. ... ' A Great Xorve Strengthened. "Some time ago I was greatly bothered with nervousness. I had read, and 'heard about paine's Celery Compound and decided to try some. I did, and teas well satisfied with the re-' suits. I proved to myself that it certainly is a great nerve strengthener.

He was trying to deceive you. ;' T He was trying to substitute an unknown article for a known product because he would make a few cents, more out of ... your innocence.

Senator Carter will leave Thursday night on the Xorth Coa.t Limited for Seattle and from there he will return to his hemo at Helena. PERSONAL MENTION. C. W. Brown, private secretary to Gov ernor Mead, of Washington, arrived in Portland yesterday from Olympla. Mr. Brown Is accompanied by his wife. The Washington building will be formally dedicated on Friday, although the doors will be opened to the public on the open ing day. The Washington building will be complete in every detail. H. A. Taylor, of Washington. D. C Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and.chalrman of the United States Gov ernment Board, reached the city last night and is now at the Portland. Mr. Taylor will be one of the speakers at the opening of the Exposition and will remain in Portland for several days to visit the Fair and to transact business for the Government here. Leo Horsteln. Lewis and Clark Com missioner from Germany, arrived In Port land Tuesday, to take personal charge of the work of installing the German ex hibit. Mr. Horsteln says that the Lewis and Clark Exposition has been the topic of more discussion and widespread inter est in the European countries than was the St. Louis Fair. Mr. Horsteln says there will be a notable attendance of Germans at the Fair, more than at any other exposition ever held in the United States. NEW YORK. May 30.-(3pecIal.)-E. Ttlce. of Tacoma, Wash., registered today at the Hoffman. Uses Washington Street as Storage Yard for Street-Cars. Many complaints are being made by the public generally regarding the use of the upper end of Washington street by the Portland Consolidated Street Railway Company as a storage yard for cars. . The present carbarn, located a block from the entrance to the City Park, is ap parently Inadequate, for the housing of all the rolling-stock used on the Washington-street line, and the surplus cars are permitted to stand in the center of the street. Here the cars are washed and overhauled, the pavement Is kept contin ually muddy.'and traffic along the street is seriously Impeded. This abuse of the thoroughfare is espe cially offensive for the reason that It oc curs at the entrance to the Qty Park, where thousands of people, especially vls ltors to the city; are subjected to annoy ance and inconvenience in going to and from the park. There is considerable feeling against the company because of this apparent high handed procedure, and the City Engineer and the Council will probably be appealed to for remedy. One Dollar BEAUTIFUL ORIENT. The far-famed "Streets of Cairo," as produced by Mr. Gaston Akoun, the orig inator of this class of amusement, will, without a doubt, early be recognized as thA nn nnrtflnr fcnhirA nt th "Trail." It was at the Chicago World's Fair and au exposition mmways since ana me St. LouIk World's Fair "Pike This con cession in the amount of ground area covered, the money invested and the di versified entertainment presented easily outranks It3 many Trail competitors, and the Trailer who wanders through the great Pyramid-like gateway on the Trail will imagine himself suddenly set down In the heart of the Egyptian capital. Quaint buildings of the odd Oriental architecture boarder both sides of the streets, and In these live a mixed popu laUon of EM Turks. Arabs, Greeks. Al gerians, Moore, Syrians. Persians. Egypt ians. Armenians. Bashabatavians, Cinga lese, Hindoos and Tunisians. These pic turesque and strange peoples are various ly engaged and generally conduct them selves according to the queer manner and custom of dally life in the Far East. The camel, drommedarles. and donkey drivers are never without attention, and create no end of merriment for on lookers and riders. Street fakes, magi clans, acrobats and aerial performers give continuous free outdoor demonstra tions of their skill and in the Turkish Theater a large company holds forth, pre senting a widely different and unique entertainment. Here also are the danc ing girls, and such girls, not the ancient monstrosities too frequently Inflicted on our city In the past vulgarly disporting themselves, but 12 Oriental beauties of international reputations presenting the many dances of the Orient In a manner that Is bound to attract all Coast lovers of true sensation as It has the Exposition visitors of the East. This collosal amusement Teature of the Trail will be open with the Fair Thursday. Note From Dr. Lane. PORTLAND. Or., May 30. (To the Editor.)

We ask you to read them carefully. They speak for them- j -selves and bear upon their face the impress of truth. THE DOCTOR'S LETTER I THE PATIENTS LETTER The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Term. . I enclose letter from patient of mine. This lady had an, acute attack of jaundice, which became chronic. I saw her after she had been treated by good doctors and advised an oper ation, which was performed by myself and Dr. Cooper with but slight improvement, and we abandoned all hope of recovery. She was ad vised by some friends to use Wine o.f Cardui and Black-Draught and is now well, after hav ing used them only six weeks. Ker menses had been stopped for ten months and are now re-established. C. W. KINNISON, M. D. Oak Hill. W. Va. Dear Dr. Kinnison: Well, doctor, I reckon you think I am dead, as I have-not sent for any more medicine. I have been doctoring4 myself. I thought I would try Wine of Cardui and Black-Draught, and they did me so much good I kept on. I have not had a. chill for six weeks and am lots stronger. I have done-the most of my work for two weeks. Doctor, I don't give this medicine all -the praise. I will not run you down if Cardui did cure me. Don't think hard of me for quitting your medicine. I didn't quit to try another doctor, as some people do. You are my doctor and will be as long as you are in the county. My menses are all rigkt now. MRS. BETTIE TRAiNER, Shryock, W. Va.
