The telegraphers' strike has served to
show New Workers how rapidly they
have progressed in the matter of com.
munication. Then years ago the sus-
pension of telegraphic communication
would have been of vast inconvenience
to the city. At the present time, even
| II the strike had been successful to the
point of stopping all telegrams, the
difficulty would have been by no means
insurmountable. or many classes of
business the telephone has almost sup
planted the telegraph and New York is
better supplied with telephones than any
other city in the world, having twice as
many as London. When the strike began
there was a rush to the headquarters of
the telephone company to secure addi-
tional wires. 1t was found, however,
that at most of the exchanges it was
impossible to make any considerable ex.
tensions on account of the fact that,
there was not room for the operators.
Practically all the big business houses
having branches in other cities now do
their business over the talking wire.
New York does most of its long distance
talking to Philadelphia and next to that
comes Boston, 100 wires being required
to handle the through business between
the two cities. The fact that it is pos.
sible to talk from New York to almost
any place in the country within two
thousand miles leaves only the Pacific |
Coast and a<few other places that are
dependent upon the telegraph for quick
with the metropolis.

FAIR HAVEN HAPPENINGS
New Haven Baptist Ministers Hold Conferencenterest in To-
 days Democratic Primaries.

The first meeting since vacation or the New Haven Baptist Ministers as- sociation was held yesterday at the
 Grand Avenue Baptist church, ana
 twenty-four of the clergy from this
 city and vicinity attended. The Sep-
 tember meeting usually is held at Montowese, but owing to some re- pairs going on in that church the meeting there was deferred.
 Rev. Charles c. Smith, pastor of the entertaining church, gave short address of welcome at the session, which began at 10 a. m The presi-
 dent, Rev, w. A. Spinney, of Walling-
 ford, presided Rev. pr. Haywood,
 of Waterbury, led the devotional ex-
 ercises, and there was also a devo-
 tional address by Rev, D. D. Munro, of Calvary Church
 "Vacation Experiences" was the first topic discussed, and each of the clergy spoke three or five minutes, telling something of their experiences during the summer. This was fol-
 lowed by an address by Rev. B. r. Hurlburt, of Yalesville, and others. Rev. Dr. Divine, of Hartford, spoke on the Baptist restoration fund.- which is being raised to make good the money lost to the Baptist state con- vention through the Ratification of
 Treasurer Walker. Dr. Divine stated that $94,0O0 had been raised, and he believed 1t was safe to say that this amount would be increased to $40,- O00 in the not distant future. He also was sanguine that the entire res toration fund of $50,00O would be raised by November 1, but he urged the importance of all the churches
 doing what they could so that success would be sure.
 Announcement was made that two new pastors would soon join the asso- ciation-Rev. William Gates, of No- ank, who is coming to the church in Ansonia, and Rev, William Mekin-
 non. who is leaving Worcester for the Branford church At the annual election Rev. w. J. Ford, D. D., of this city, was elected president and
 Rev. A. F. Harris, of Meriden, was elected secretary and treasurer. At
 1 D. m. a fine dinner was served by
 the ladies of the church, for which they received hearty vote of thanks from the visitors. Those who attend
 ed the interesting meeting included
 Rev. Donald D, Munro, Rev Otto
 Koenig, Rev. Daniel Trick, Rev Dr.
 Powell. Rev. MT. Di Dominica, Rev
 G. Ganung and Rev. c, c. Smith, of i this city; Rev. Dr. Divine and Rev pr. Coats, of Hartford; Rev Oscar

STOLE SISTERS PoCKErBooK.
Such is Charge Brought Against Put
 nam Street Man.

John J. Carney of Putnam street apparently lacks some of the ele- ments of family affection if the charge which the police bring against him is sustained. He was arrested last even ing by Patrolman Kerrigan of the Howard avenue gLation for the theft of a pocketbook belonging to his sister, Mrs. Bradley of Washington avenue. There was no large amount in the pocketbook. Carney, it is said, went over to his sisters house and helped himself to the purse, which she wanted.
