Memorial Day
Each year, as the !U)th day of May
draws near, oar minds center on Me
morial Day, in honor of the heroic
dead. We publish below a true copy
of Commander-in Chief John A. Login's
order No. 2, issued May 5, 1368, which
sets forth the noble purpose of that
sacred obse; vance:
"Headquarter:* Grand Army of the Re- '
public, Washington, D.C., May5,lS6S.
"General Orders No. 2.
UL The :*Oth day of May, 1868, is :
designated for the purpose of strewing
with flowers, or otherwise decorating
the graves ot' Comrades who died iu de- j
fense of their country during the late;
rebellion, and those bodies now lie in
almost every city, village and hamlet '
churchyard in the laud. In this ob
servance no form of ceremony is pre
scribed, but Posts and Comrades will
in their own way arrange such fitting
services and testimonials of respect, as
circumstance* why permit.
"We are organized. Comrades, as our
regulation* tell us, for the purpose,
among other things. l<>f neserving and
strengthening tho*e kind :ind fraternal
reeling* which hare bound together the
soldiers, sailor^ and marines who
united to suppress the late rebellion.*
What can aid more to assure this result
than by cherishing tenderly the mem
ory of our heroic de^d, who made their
breasts a barricade between our coun
try and its foes? Their >o!dier lives
were the reveille of freedom to a race in
chaius, and their dtaths a tattoo of re
bellious tyranny iu arms. We should j
guard their graves with sacred vigil
ance. All that the consecrated wealth
and taste of the nation can add to their
adornment and security i* hut a fitting
tribute to the memory of her slam de- (
fenders. Let no wanton foot tread
rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let
pleasaut paths invite the coming and
going- of reverent visitors and fond
mourners. Let no vandalism of avar
ice or neglect, uo ravages of time,, tes j
tify to the present or to the comiug
generations t hat we haVfe forgotten as
a people the cost of a> free and un
divided republic.
"If other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack, and other hearts cold iu
the solemn trust, ours shall keep it
well as long as the light and warmth'j
of life remain to us.
"Let us, then, at the time appoiuted,.i
gather around their sacred remains and'!
garlaud the passionless mounds above j
them with the choicest flowers of
springtime; let us raise above theicthe
dear old flag they saved from dishonor;;:
let us in this solemn presence- renew
our pledges to aid and1 assist those
whom they have left among us, a sacred
charge upnu the nation's gratitude?

"2. It is the purpose of the Com--;
mauder in-Chief to inaugurate this ob
servance with the hope that it will be
kept from year to year, while a sur
vivor of the war remaius- to houor the
memory of his departed comrades. He
earnestly desires the publie press to
call attention to this order, and lend
its friendly aid in bringing it to the
notice of comrades iu all parts of the
country in time for simultaneous com
pliance therewith. i
"3. Department commaodenr will"
use every effort to make this order ef
fective. By command of
"JoHit A. Logan j

Card of Thanks
To the kind friends whose gentle
ministrations and tender sympathy has
helped as to bear oni harden of grief
in the loss of oar loved one, we take
this meaus of expressing our deep and
lasting gratitude.

Exercises Abandoned
i We are giveu to understand that be- i
t cause of the strict quarantine regula
; tions,the proposed Memorial Day exer
cises which were to have been held
' under the directiou of the Civic Im
I provement Club, have been abandoned.)
However, this will not prevent those
| who are so disposed from going to the
cemetery at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
as ha* been planned, and covering the
graves of loved ones with flowers.
By legislative enactment Memorial
Day has been declared a holiday in
Alaska, and Douglas people, who have
for many years observed the day, will
not neglect it now.
The graves of the soldiers will be
decorated by tbe ladies of the club,
and a neat cross bearing the name will
be erected at each grave.

Played in the Mud
The Douglas l>iaud ball team went
over to Juneau Suuday, supported by
a host of rooters and fans, and armed
to conquer. However, upon arriving at
the Capital City, it was found that on
accouut of the wet climate which af j
ilicts that locality, only a practice gam*}
was possible. Fiv? innings were agreed
upou, and aftnr slopping mound in the
mud for tha*. period, the score stood 4
to & in favoi of Dou^la-. By ?bat time
theplayeis* pretty suits were all cov
ered with mud, and it appeared to be
working through iu spots. The game ;
uext Sunday will be on the Douglas
grounds and promises to be a tryout
for the best that is in both teams.
Early last Thursday morning the
City of Rome sailed with Messrs. Bar i
tello, Brie, O'Connor, Stubbins and the
News Mau on board. After a rough
voyage South islaud was reached. Here
a small cratt may tind shelter liom a,
south wind and the huigry waves of
Frederick souud by creepiug in close
to a rocky point. While it is not au
ideal harbor, as a i efuge from a storm
it is sometimes veiy friendly. On the
way home a .-'op was made at Doty's
cove. Here th** single inhabitant,
Charlie Doty, has lived for nine years.
A veteran of the civil war, he bravely
battles with the wilderness and stauds
strong and firm in spite of his 76 years.
A comfortable cabin, >t good supply of
tire wood, a bubbling spring and a gar- ?
den plot where the stiawberries ate
already in bloom, add to the cheerful
ness of the scene. An arm of the sea
winds like a river for mile- inland, and
aiong its banks bear and deer find
juicy herbage. An ideal spot for huut j
tafr
Photographer Ed Andrews, who re
cently visited the Taku glaciers, is ex- i
hibiting some splendid views taken in
dangeious proximity to the massive
bodies of moving ice. Ed intrusted
himself to the care of that intrepid
young navigator, Abel Anderson, who
ha> spent whole summers in the vicin
ity of the glaciers and it was only be
cause of his knowledge and skill that
the near approach was made with j
safety.
