READY FOR THE HOLIDAY.
Buyers Supply Easter Needs on Thursday-Good Sales in Advance Lines-A Hint to EleVenthHou Shoppers.

The Weather Man smiled on the shoppers Thursday, and late in the afternoon the streets had almost holiday look, except that the parcels carried were tied with violet cord in- stead of the regulation scarlet twine of Christmas time. Stores were crowded, salespeople were busy and the fact that today is a holiday tended to hurry buyers who were wise enough not to leave their purchases until the last day, Easter Saturday.
 Handsomely directed windows caught the attention of passersby. Naturally the Ascension lily was featured in the floral adornment, and some novel and striking effects were obtained by skill full window dressers.
 Merchants were greatffied at what might be called advance buying; the purchase of garments, dress goods and accessories for later summer wear Sheer frocks for hot weather demands fashionable sleeveless wraps, smart parasols. etc, appeared to sell equally well with coats, suits, hats, gloves and substantials for strictly Easter wear.
 Among the handsome hats sent out Thursday was a derby sailor in black, with white band and modish white duO DlaCk DlIO 1OF duOTuHeHl.
 A changeable silk turban of a violet tone had brim of fancy straw and trimming of realistic silk dahlia
 A dressy hat in black hemp had an imported applique band in white, and graceful willow plumes.
 Many of the milliners and tailors must give up a portion of their holi- day today to finish orders. All are looking forward to record Easter trade on Saturday.
 Hundreds of beautiful garments, coats, skirts. wraps, suits ct al., have gone out, and scores of jaunty, modish hats have already been purchased; but stocks are still large and hold satis- factory supplies even for late com CTS.

 Whatever your demand, it can be met by improving the suggestions of fered by The Bulletins enterprising advertisers today!

FACTIONS WANT DIFFERENT
 PRIESTS AT GREEK CHURCH Policemen or Guard During Services
 Thursday Evening.

Because it was feared that two fac tions in the congregation of the Greek Catholic church on Boswell avenue who want the Easter services conduct ed by different priests might come in to a clash, the Easter services at the church on Thursday evening were conducted with two policemen stand ing outside. Supernumeraries John Donovan and P. T. Murphy were de- tailed to this service from headquar- ters upon the request of a member of the congregation to prevent any pos sible breach of the peace.
 Church services have been conduct ed by resident priest, but the recent arrival of priest from the old country resulted in the formation of a party in the church who desired to see him off, ficiate. Adherents of the other priest, however, were not willing to make this arrangement, and it was feared that some trouble might result, but there was none. The regular priest officiated at the service.

Responded to Fire on Mschanc Stret- Mrs. ]. J. Palmer Carried to Safety.

Mrs. Jonathan J. Palmer discovered fire in the closet off the kitchen at her home, No. II Mechanic street, about 9.30 o'clock Thursday morning, and an alarm was sent by telephone to the Central station. At the same time an alarm was pulled in from box 15, but the person did not pull the lever down, so that the alarm was given incOr- rectly. The West Main street company started in the wrong direction, but met the auto from the Central station and was set on the right track The flexibility of the control of the auto chemical was shown in the way it was sent round curves at West Main and High streets and at High and Spring streets. The fire had eaten it's way into the garret when the apparatus ar rived, but was soon put out with two lines of chemical and one hose. There is a loss of several hundred dollars, due to fire and water, but covered by insurance.

PASSING OF HUGH E. KEOUGH
SPY HEX" Occupied Unique Place in
Sport letters-Was Initiated
by Many Writers.

We shall read no more "By HEX"
Hugh E. Keough, the Chicago sport
writer, who wrote under that nom de
plume, is dead.
Mr.. Keough's place in sport letters
was unique He founded new school
of sporting comment. Many initiated
him. None approached him. He was
widely quoted. He was more widely
"pirated."
He was gifted gloriously. He knew
sport in all its phases as few men
have known 1t. He knew the idiosyn-
cracies Of sporting men, and for his
agile fancy they we're an inexhaustible
theme. He keenly watched the entire
passing show Of sport. He knew its
comedies, its tragedies. And, as the
poet-philosopher of American sport, he
sang his songs and sounded mis- warn
ings, exposed the shams and exalted
the genuine, and always with inim-
liable drollery.
He was, as Watterson once said, the
"ever-welcome HEX" The sport page
of American journalism, whatever it's
color, is In mourning at his passing
st. Louis Republic.
