SMALL GETS OBJECT LESSON
Telegram Calls Strike Leader to
Sick Wife'S Side.
Operators Meeting Postponed and
Union President HuFrles to Chi
cagO After Conference.

Perhaps for the first time since the
present strike of commercial telegraphers
was declared, Samuel J. Small, president
of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
was yesterday thankful that some OF the
key men are still working and that wires
from this city to Chicago were stu open
TO bring 10 him the news that his wife.
who has been sick for some time. was so
low that ne must go 10 her bedside.
One thousand miles away the telegraph
was necessary 10 bring that news, and
although nobody knows what Mr. Small
thought when he heard that message come
over the wires. il is safe 20 believe that
he was glad that the instruments are still
clicking out their messages in some Of
the Offices Of Washington.
The meeting of the striking operators
scheduled for 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon. al which Mr.. Small was ta-deliver
an address. was postponed when the news
OF his wife's serious condition reached
this city
Although his Washington visit, accord
ing 10 operators In this city. was planned
with reference 10 what Mr. Small might
be able 20 do with government officials to-
ward settlement OF the strike in the
near future, II is not believed that It's
shortness has much iHterferred with the
first plans Yesterday afternoon Presi-
dent Small was cIoseJed for more than an
hour with Samuel Gompers at the lat
ters offices jn Typographical Temple The
matters discussed Mr Small would not
make public, bat il is understood that the
active participation Of the president of
the American Federation OF Labor will
result One man with whom il was ex-
pected Mr small would CONFER, Charles
2. Nell. Commissioner OF Labor, was not
IN the city yesterday. but IL is asserted
that. upon Che return of tire president OF
the telagraphers, which viii be as soon
as the condition Of his wife permits, he
viii meet the commissioner and take up
with him the question OF quick settle
ment Of the strike.
Mr. Small left Washington at $40 p. m.
but not before he had told the members
OF the union with whom he had been
in conference during his stay, that the
outlook IN this city. and, in fact. all over
the country. for quick sett,ement OF
the strike, was good.
" Llle -ON1l 'FtL tl'-S WHO are oAb were
sorry that Mr. Small was called away
before ne was able to accomplish all that
he had planned. there was no apparent
gloom about strike headquarters. The
operators believe, as Mr.. Small does. that
a settlement is drawing nearer each
day. and are confident that the confer
ence of Small and Gompers viii be pro-
duCtivo OF results
Unless Mr.. Gompers has been asked by
Mr. Small 10 take up the presentation Of
the strikers side Of the difficulty. how
ever, the Washington keymen do not

The law, or T0rah. consists of the five
books Of Moses, the Pentateuch. and
upon these and the works of the prophets
the elaborate and profound Talmud has
been erected.
Last evening. after the usual evening
services, the doors Of the holy ark, con-
tanning the scrolls of the law. were
opened. and all the scrolls were taken
out with their coverings, each carried
in the arms of member of the con-
