sinful TO drink on sunday brought honne
n early rising householders in many sec
tions of the coy the fact that LoulsVlhe
today for the first time IN many Yeats
was dry as Tophet. As the day wore OF
IL was seen that the State ana city au-
thorities were in deadly earnest apou'
putting on the lid. The streets ana cars
were filled with aimless Sabbath loung-
ers drifting from one point to another
vainly seeking the amusements and con-
veniences to which they have been accus-
toned The absent-minded ones were
easily discernible by the growth of beard
which they had expected to have re-
moved. not thinking to find the barber
shops closed.
Every place in Louisville and Jefferson
County where intoxicants are sold was
with one exception. closed tight. The ex-
ception was a park conducted by He
brew who observed Saturday as the Sab
bath. He was arrested and viii be tried
but was allowed to continue selling
throughout the day, doing roaring busi-
ness as the news spread.
-Four other places where liquor is sold
have been designated by the Liduor Deal
ers' Association to test the law. The pro-
prietors of these were not only arrested
but the places were kept closed there
after.
Besides the saloons all barber shops,
bowling. alleys, billiard halls, theaters
groceries, and. in fact, everything ex-
cept hotels, drug stores and railroad and
street car lines, were closed Two free
sacred concerts at the largest amuse.
ment parks in Jefferson County were not
molested, but none of the employees was
permitted to work.
The ball park was crowoed with specta-
tors when the game between Louisville
and Toledo was called, but after half ar
nning had been played the police arrested
Presidents Tebeau and Grillo and al
players and employees. Although bond
vas promptly given, the park was ordered
closed and resumption of play was moi
permitted
The validity Of the statutes and ordi-
lances under which the arrests were
made will be thoroughly, tested in ths
courts, but the authorities declare tha
in the meantime all places coming undel
the provisions of the laws will be KEEP
tightly closed.

(Respectfully dedicated to J. A. Palmer, ESQ.,
virginia's noble sons are there,
And her gracious daughters fair
See within their cleaning hair, the holly red:
The flower of knighthood blooms still in many
hearts; IL not in all
At the Holly Ball.
Our hearts turn TO the old days OF the long ago
As we watch the graceful couples trip the
light fantastic toe"
Or pass in statelier measure. in and out. and
TO and fro.
See in their eyes the sparkle, and glow on
cheek. OF all
We know we are in old Virginia, and
At the Holly Ball,
First we crown our Queen of Holly. right royal
is she.
No fairer maiden in the Southland, or in the
world we see.
by right ofgrace and sweetness, truly a queen
is she.
On her fair young head. let all best wishes fall,
As we crown her queen of beauty
At the Holly Bail.
Knighthood is not now in flower, but TIERS
a bud left now and then,
That bids fair if itliyes in sunshine TO open
out again
We know that fully well as fair son of the
South
Stands before us; and words of praise and
beauty MI his mouth.
We are honored to welcome him within our
hall.
To speak these words of praise for the Queen
OF the Holly Bail.
As the land stretches out-south. cast. north
and west:
In summer. winter. fall,
There are many kinds OF pleasures,
But there's just one
Holly Ball.
Fitting it is, that word of it has reached DER
the ocean wide, to England's ancient
shores,
And there may come time. when squire or
earl may read stin more,
And love the pictured face Of some queenly
southern girl.
We can hear our English brothers say-we arc
all one at heart
Forwere not their sires of grand old England
living partg
As sure as the tides rise. and as sure as the
tides fall
We will join them in paying homage to tho
Queen of the Holly Ball.
And we owe this time of pleasure, and to its
keeping up.
To one OF virginia's gentlcmen-let's drink
TO him a hearty toast.
Pass round the trimming cup.
And drink TO the health and happiness Of him
