the United States,
Chicago, May 31.-Memorlal Day
never was more generally observed
than this year. Everywhere in the
country schools, banks and many bust
ness houses closed to honor the ma.
TONS dead, and to permit students and
citizens to watch or participate in the
annual Memorial Day parades, which
were held here in the afternoon, but
In some other cities were held in the
morning. Here the holiday was
observed at the University of Chicago,
Northwestern university and other
educational institutions. Flags on oil

After the invocation by Rev. W.
I. N. Densmore, Captain Merry,
who was president Of the day, spoke
at some length in reference to the
origin and history Of Decoration Day.
According to the Captain the day is;
of Southern or Confederate origin.
Mr.. Merry told how the custom
originated in the hearts of two little
Virginia girls. During the early
days of the war two confederate
soldiers were buried near the chill
dren's home. and shortly after the
the interment they noticed the bare
mounds where the soldiers were
buried and gathered wild flowers
and covered them over. The ex-
ample Of these innocent children ex-
tended until it became customary
in all parts of Virginia to cover the
graves of Confederate soldiers with
flowers
A number of Michigan ladies, re-
siding in Washington, transplanted
the custom on the Union side of the
lines, by annually decorating the
graves of all Michigan soldiers who
were buried in the national ceme-
terry at Arlington and other national
cemeteries near the national capital.
When John A. Logan was COM
mander of the Grand Army of the
Republic he issued an order for the
decoration of all soldiers graves on
May Both, and since then the day
has been generally observed all over
the country. May Both is establish
ed by statute as holiday in most of
the states. One day out Of the 1866
is set apart as Memorial Day, day
when the dead Of every home, as
we'll as the soldier dead, are brought
closer to the lives of the living.
