Memorial Day Exercises

A larger crowd never gathered in Douglas for Memorial Day than that at Naratorium hall last Monday. The meeting was presided over by Mayor ONConnor, who prefaced his introdnc- tion of the speakers with a few remarks which bespoke a deep feeling of ps- triotic fever. The productions of the school children, while rather novel for such an occasion, were we'll received and generally enjoyed. Little Julia Rogers, whose rendition of Barbara Erietchie'' was distinctly heard in every part of the large hall, is deserV- ing of especial praise.
 Mir. T. J. Laffey sang "Tne Recess sioual" with feeling and in good voice.
 The Treadwell Club band, under the leadership of Prof. Wasterlain, played some very good music, although handi- capped by the unavoidable absence of some of it's mem bers.
 Gen. Wm. [. Distin, of Juneau, spoke as a representative of the National Grand Army of the Republic. He quoted in full "Liucoln's Gettysburg Address, eulogi1ed the great leaders in the struggle for united country, and expressed his gratitude for the houors shown his comrades who had gone to their last resting place. His remarks deserved and received most careful attention.
 Hon. John \. Bellenthal, also of Ju- neau, is perhaps one of the best of Alaska's orators. He carried his hear CTS through the long list of the worlds greatest of battles of modern times and explained the important office of the soldier; of bis self-saori6cing bravery and of the place which he occupies in the hearts of the people. la conclusion he spoke of the time to come when there would be no armies of invasion and no armies of defense; when all the world would enjoy sweet peace.
 At the conclusion of the exercises at the hall procession was formed and the march was begun to the city dock, where taps were sounded and flowers were stgewn oB the water in memory of sailors and those who had lost their lives in the sea. Then the march was continued to the cemetery, wheye 9 similar ceremony was gone through with oyer the graves of the soldiers resting there,
 Although Alaska blossoms are yet scarce, many of the graves were liter ally loaded with beautiful flowers, cut and iu pots, most of which were brought from Puget sound for the oc- casioG.
 As a token of the character and cal ibre of our citizenship, Douglas may be proud of the effort made and the re- suits attained in the observance of Memorial Day.
