Tomorrow will be Decoration Day, a
ho! id-> y io all the Northern states and
territories of the United States, made
so in :uemoi.v of the soldiers aad sailors
who f'joght for the Unioo in the Civil
War. The day was originally caile.1
Memorial day, but the custom of
decorating the graves of the dead sol
diers as one of the features of the
occasion lead to the obange in the I
name.
At first Decoration day was set apan '
as a ca> upon which toshow the respect
Of the living for the soldiers and sailors
who died on the field of battle io the
course of the Rebellion, but gradually
it was extended to ioc'.ude ihose wh
have passed ?way since the termination
of the cod fiict. The dsy is being fur
ther extended, by slow degrees, to |
include among those whom it commem
orates Confederate soldiers as well as
Unionists. In fact it is a very rare
thing in these days that the graves of ;
both the b ue and the gray are not re
membered by those who honor the'
nation's heroic dead.
The day will be observed at Skagway
by the federal officials and the Dubiic
school. The custom house, the post
office. the offices at the court house, the
road commission, the bank 'and other
houses will close their doors in honor of
the occasion. A committee of old
soldiers will proBably go to the ceme
tery and decora' e the graves of their
comrades vbo are buried f ere, as
heretofore, but that will probably be 1
all there will be in the wiy of a pro
