THE CAMERA AND THE SABBATH.

A New Jersey church congregation has
determined to take prompt and vigorous
measures to check the tendency on the
part of men and women to stray away
from the meeting house on the Sabbath
dav after the seductive amateur photo
graphic camera. member of the con-
gregation, who Is also a newspaper editor,
a chicken fancer and an amateur photo
grapher. was caught red-handed Cor 1t
might have been brown-fingered, from the
acid baths1 on a recent Sunday taking
the pictures of some of his pet fowls. The
governing body of the church concluded
that it was time something was being done,
hence determined to make an example
of this editor He was, therefore, notified
that his transgression of taking snap
shots on the day of rest had been investi-
gated Qn his absence and without his
know1edge,) and that he had been ex-
PEELED from membership in the congrega-
ton. Il is not know whether this erring
ex-brother will repudiate the camera,
promise to snap no more, and beg REIN
statement.
But, to pass 10 more serious consider
alton of the camera as 1t affects the
Sabbath day; has the influence of the lit
tie picture apparatus been much against
church attendance? The army of amateur
photographers is already very large, anc
Is growing constantly and rapidly. Pic
ture-making processes have been simpl-
fed and cameras have been cheapened un-
iii the complete apparatus for taking and
developing views even portraits, is within
the reach of persons of moderate means.
with a months practice the average green
novice can take a negative from which a
very good picture can be made. And the
pastime, fad, or whatever else it may be
called, of amateur photography is very
fascinating. Those who take it up. quickly
become devoted to it. They employ every
possible spare moments in looking up sub
jects to be photographed, or finishing pic
lures from plates previously made. When
day comes along in which several hours
may be spent as one pleases the en-
thusiastic amateur mounts a wheel or
some other sort of vehicle and goes into
the country. The bicycle and the cam
era have become close companions In the

fact of which any person of inquirine
turn of mind may assure himself on any
pleasant Sunday, on any of the good roads
radiating from this city. And photography
has not yet got as much of a footho.d
here as in many other cities.
Now the question Is would those per-
sons who so out with cameras on Sun
days go to church instead If it were not
for the camera? Making pictures may de-
velop an eye for the beautiful In nature.
and thus add to culture and refinement;
but is this at the expense of religious
observances and duties? 1t has not been
great while since many preachers were
remarking upon the adverse influence of
the bicycle on church attendance; with
the seductions of the camera added TO
those of the wheel will the attendance fall

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) saws; "a
cotton mill at Dalton, Ga, has declared a
stock and cash dividend of 90 DER cent
and Birmingham, Ala, reports pig iron
at $3.50 per ton, with none to spare TO
any but regular customers. This looks
as if Booker T. Washington's advice 10
the Southern negroes. to let politics alone
and attend strictly TO business, was being
followed with good results by the South
ern whites"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem1 says:
Whatever sentimental regard has been
expressed for the negro in any quarter is
worthless. The simple fact is that the
negro has no friends and no proper liberty
anywhere save in the Southern states, and
there his position, like that of the white
man. Is wholly dependent on his good be-
havior."
The Philadelphia Press (Rep) SAYS:
''The decision Of the Spanish cabinet that
the interest on the Cuban bonds must be
paid by the Cuban government is a good
deal like the PoDe's bull against the comet
There 5 no Cuban government and there
are no Cuban bonds. Spain can repudiate
a part of her debt if she chooses, and no
one will be surprised. But calling the
bonds Cuban bonds and decreeng that
a mythical government must pay them
will fool no one
The Columbia Is. c. State Dem), an
ultra free silver and Bryan paper, is not
pleased with the Massachusetts conven-
ton. 1t says: I'VE had a better opinion
of George Fred Williams than to believe
that he would force the election of Massa-
chusetts' delegates to the national Demo-
cratic convention eight months ahead of
time. Mr.. Williams has been quoted as
saying in explanation of his purpose that
HI was sure the party was for silver now
but il might not be next spring, wherefore
he would take no chances. This action is
unfair and indefensible. The Massachu-
setts Democrats, like all other Democrats,
should enjoy the right Of full deliberaton.
III at the usual time for electing delegates
they should change their minds as to sill
yer we would regret IL, but this feeling
does not move us to condone the policy
of binding tnem in advance. Such meas
ures in politics usually defeat their pur-
pose. Mr.. Williams is likely to have q
contest on his hands next summer

Conflicting stories are afioat as to wheth-
er Miss Maybele Swift of Chicago, daugh-
ter of the rich pork packer. is to become
the bride of a Prince Alexis Karageorge-
witch of Servia. One story has it that
the twain are to become one shortly, while
another story, given out on the authority
of the family of the young woman,
says there is nothing in the report. The
prince is the pretender to the throne OF
Servia, and it is said that should he be
successful in winning his crown, his mar
riage to the Chicago heiress might be
declared void. The Prince is the grandson
of "Black George" who ruled in Servia
from 1904 to 1918.

Of management, and have been bene-
fetal in financial and other results.
EngliShmen hardly yet appreciate the
force and potentiality of the present
movement, but there will soon be re-
Vulsion of public opinion in favor Of
these combinations. America is going
forward by leaps and bounds and will
make things extremely uncomfortable
for British industry if we of England
do not recognize more fully that vast
capital enterprise, as opposed to more
limited individual venture, can only
end in favor of the former. and that
is where America is now getting her
pull. The great copper combine has
put all other speculative interests into
the shade. The railroads share market
is most apathetic and the open ac-
counts in Yankees in London has been
reduced to the minimum. But this Is
only a temporary phase Another six
months will see a great change" Lord
Revelstoke concluded the interview by
saying that "a visit to America is an
education in itself"
Politically, the event of the week was
the speech of Earl Rosebery before the
London Liberal Club, yesterday even

the Earl, who expressed his desire for
a revival of the old Liberal spirit that
prevailed prior to 1886, and said that
he regretted the division occas1oned by
the home rule question. His onslaught
on "hideous political apathy" and his
tracing of the decay of parliamentary
liberalism to home rule. it is thought.

SAN JOSE, May 6.-The Bank Commits
sioners have ordered the directors of the
Union Savings Bank to levy an assess
ment of $40 share on the stockholders
and apply it in paying off the depositors.
This order was received to-day, and will
be welcome news to the depositors, who
have become greatly discouraged at the
delay in the settlement. 1t will show
how many of the stockholders will pay an
assessment without a suit. Only II per
cent of the stockholders, it is said, have
property that an assessment may be lev
led on.

Originally the capital was 81 900 900. About
two years ago this was doubled by means
of a stock dividend, when the shares had
risen to a market value of $l00. 1t was
then explained that the increase was
based upon property in sight Now, on
this occasion of still greater increase,

POKES FUN At
AMERICAN LAW
Lord Russell CritiCiZ eS
the System.
Copyrighted. 1899. by the Associated Press

LONDON, May 6.-There was con-
siderable astonishment at the dinner
of the Hardwicke Society on Monday,
at which United States ambassador
Joseph H. Choate was a guest, that
the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Russell Of
Killowen, should have seized the occa-
sion to lecture his audience upon the
shortcomings Of the American legal
system. Lord Russell was very free
in his criticisms and very facetious over
the number of Judges he met in Amer
lea. but Mr. Choate was equal to the
occasion and in a good-natured speech
said that he desired to say that justice
was administered to the satisfaction of
the people, to whom substantial justice
brought very small cost. Justice, Mr.
Cboate added was within the reach Of
every man, and he was encouraged to
defend and maintain his rights in
court. and his costs were little as COM
pared with what Mr.. Choate understood
was the cost here. Referring to the
number of Judges in America, Mr.
C,boate said he could not see how it
would be possible for twenty five men
TO conduct the legal business for 80 000,-
900 OF people.
The correspondent of the Associated
lIess has had an interview with Lord
Revslstoke on the subject of the lat
ter's visit to America, from which he
has Just returned. Referring to the
present rush to form trusts and syndi-
Gates in America, Lord Revelstoke, who
is a director of the Bank of England
and a member of the banking house of
Barring Brothers & Co., Limited said:
These combines appear to be of i'm
mense advantage. Wildcat schemes
would undoubtedly be formulated from
time to time, but great organizations
