stolen camefs Lenses.

From the New York Times.
 serhe sale of camera lenses is compara- lively a new branch of the pawnbroker's trade" said dealer In photographic sup plies, "but a large number from that source come to the trade to be refitted with shutters and f1anges. good lens costs anywhere from $50 to $50, and is as easy to raise money on as good watch. But you will notice that the lenses you see in pawnbrokers' windows are without the fanges. That Is sure sign they have been stolen. Very few sneak thieves know enough to lift out shutter and all but they can get the lens and make away with it by a simple turn of the wrist. If a man who owned a camera were to take his naked lens to pawn shop and say he owned it. he would not be believed. and would have to be content with the ex- tremely small loan usually made upon stolen lens. Pawnbrokers are willing to take chances with them, because the risk of detection is almost nil and the profits great when they make a sale. Amateur photographers who know their business can pick up good many bargains in the New York pawnshops.'

COTTON MERGER WITHOUT FRIES
It is Declared That His Withdrawal Has Not Embarrassed Promoters.

New York, May 2S-Henry F. Fries, whose withdrawal from the so-called Fries merger was announced a short time ago, is quoted as stating that be withdrew because in the opinion of him. self and the gentlemen associated with him, a sufficient underwriting of the bonds had not been ordered to carry out the merger according to the terms of the contract with the mills.
 MT. Fries said that the mills in which he is personally interested had definitely withdrawn their options and the various mills which he represented had been duly informed of the exact condition of af- fairs.
 A representative of the Southern Tex tile Co. said: MT. Fries withdrawal did not prevent the formation of the merger. The Southern Textile Go. has already taken over several mills and Is taking over others as fast as the necessary ex- aminations of their titles can be made. A great many more mills are seeking admission into the company than are accepted and it would be easy to get oth- CT mills just as good to take the place of those represented by Mir. Fries. We do not want all the mills but only the best"

The conservatIve ouakers.

From the New York Tribune.
 The Quakers of Philadelphia are as con- servative as befits that simple and sober sect They are not "up to date" and they don't mind telling people so. The Phila- delphia yearly meeting has decided to ad- here to the time honored marriage laws of Quakerdom. Young friends who marry first cousins. who marry worlds people ("marry out of meeting') or who call in paid ministers to solemnize their marriage will be ''disowned'' in the future as in the past. The yearly meeting sees with con- cern and sorrow a tendency on the part of Friends schools to conform to the cus- tom of observing special days and sea- sons'' by giving the pupils Christmas va- cations

- - The Old First Church of Salem.

It has been decided. according to the Springfield Republican, by a committee of the Essex institute of Salem, that the lit- tie frame building at the rear of the in- stitute building, which has been looked upon as the frame of the old First Church of Salem, built in 1885, and has been wis., tied and looked upon as such by thou sands of pilgrims from all over the world, was not the frame nor any part of the historical edifice. The committee does not attempt to say what the building really Is, although in it's report 1t points out that the tradition regarding 1t is only found in the family of Enos Pope, who were Quakers. It Is possible, therefore, that the building may have been that of the first Quaker meeting house.

Bismarek's redoubtable hammer fell upon

Bismarek's redoubtable hammer fell upon the anvil of the Prussian church, the refugees established that prolific mother house at Steyl in Holland, on which the kaiser himself was to depend later for the extension of the rule of fatherland and religion in the far east.
 Many members of the regular orders have asked the propaganda for permission to establish themselves in foreign parts; more than a thousand have gone to the United States, where the government will receive them with favor, being thus en- abled to replace the Spanish monks with new recruits until the day when the American bishops vii be able to fill all the vacant places. M
 This increase in missionaries will mark an epoch in the history of the world and of the church.

Not Enough to Quarter.
rom the New York Times.

From the New York I1mes.
 Senator Tillman tells of an old darky in his employ that he once permitted to make use of certain land for farming pur- poses, on condition that the darky should give to the senator one-fourth of the crop raised.
 At the harvesting of the crop the sena- tor was amazed to find that the. darky had not kept his part of the agreement, for, while he hauled away three wagon loads of produce, he had not sent single one to the senator's barn. Tillman call ed the negro's attention to the fact that he had taken the entire crop, asking:
 Now, how's that Feb? Wasn't to re- ceive fourth of the crop?'
 You was, Massa Tillman, you was, {" excitedly exclaimed the darky; but dere's only three loads, sah, only three loads!'
