 In the afternoon MT. Small attended a meeting of the striking telegraphers, where he was received with enthusi- asm. He made a brief address in which he dealt with the general sit- uation, again refraining from discuss ing local conditions.
 Tonight MT. Small gave out an op- timistic statement regarding general Istrike conditions in which he said.
 we have fully 5per cent of all the commercial telegraphers in the United States on strike This applies to small and large cities. Thousands of one man offices are closed in various states, and the keys to the doors are in the possession of city officials to be turned over to the inspectors of the company when they arrive.
 "We have fully 95 per cent. of all fund--two of them in fact. One of these is for the benefit of the strikers and the other to be expended in pro- paganda work in favor of government control of the telegraph. Although the call for funds has only been out for few days, many remittances were received before left Chicago and, strange to say, as much was re- ceived for the campaign fund as for the benefit of the strikers.
 Much has been published about ar. bitration, but the cry from coast tc coast is no arbitration

 Are Very

 OF POET HEINE Crowds at Calvary Baptist Church Listen to Words of the Former
 Pastor.

Calvary Baptist church was crowded yesterday morning to hear the Rev. Mir. Poteat, who preached again at both morning and evening services, as he did last Sunday and last evening there were almost as many as at the morning service.
 In the morning the sermon treated of what the speaker believes to be one of the most lively topics before the American people at the present time, namely religion and money In the nineteenth chapter of Matthew, the tWenty-fourth verse, will be found the text on the topic, And again I say unto you, It is easier for camel to go through the eye of needle than for rich man to enter into the King dom of God"
 The words were spoken to the rich young ruler to whom Jesus had said that-if he would be perfect-he should sell all that he had and give to the pcor but the young man went away scrrowful" {"
 In the course of his sermon Dr. Po- teat related the following anecdote:

He was once invited to a banquet, the hostess invited him be- cause she expected him to be the life of the banquet Heine sat down and did not say a word and after he had sat for some minutes the hostess ad- dressed him, saying: "Mr Heine, why are you such poor company, What are you thinking of? We are listening foI a word from you" The room was all a. glitter with cut glass and Heine looked around and replied: ''Well, I was just wondering what you people are going to do with the camel question. It Is easier for 8 camel to pass through the eye of Q needle" That was an in- stance of humor, not of satire.
