Many Persons TO Grieve for Photographs.
About six months ago r. J. and j.

They lived at No COS Tatnall street.
Everything seemed TO be going swim
mingly until two OF three weeks ago.

seemed TO be very busy Some of the
work exhibited in the window was
excellent, and served TO draw many per.
sons, who left photographs of near and
dear friends and relatives TO be enlarged
On June 23 they moved out in broad
daylight. The neighbors did not think
anything was wrong until several days
after they left Then persons who had
left photographs with the artists,
finding that the place was
closed, began making inquiries, only to
find that the men had gone, taking every
thing with them
The mother who had entrusted TO
them the only photograph of her dead
child mngles her tears with those of the
young man who took the photograph of
his best girl there TO have It enlarged on
the instalment plan. The owner of No. 605
Tatnall street is holding the tear.trough
for all mourners and telling them Ia
condole with man who has been left In
