The candles are not lighted until the latter part of tho services. Michael Francis Doyle sent out the np- peal to the hotels and restaurants to dis continue dancing and music today and to night. Hotels that at once adopted the suggestion were the Rltz-Carlton. Bel'.evue Stratford, Adelphln, St. James Hotel, Hotel Walton and Kugler's restaurant. Other hotels are expected to follow suit. Similar action was taken last year. The Poor Richard Club has arranged with the managers of many office buildings in the city, to so light certain windows In the ' tulldlngs tonight that they will form gigan tic biasing signs of the cross. This will be a vivid reminder to Phlladelphlans that this la the anniversary of the day upon which IM saviour was crucinea.
