GRAND MASTER PowDERLY has issued
q lengthy address to the Knights of La.
Dor in which he offers some wholesome
advice. He condemns the "boycott" in
strong language. Speaking of the use
of dynamite and guns he says:
We have had some trouble from
drinking members and from men who
talk about buying guns and dynamite,
If the men who possess money enough
to buy gums and dynamite would invest
it in the purchase Of some we'll selected
work on labor they would put the mon.
ey to good use. They will never need
the gun or dynamite in this country.

Oswald at the Forks.
plaindealer. NAV 9th.

Sheriff Wagness, of Ramsey county,
came in on the train from the west yes
terday afternoon, having VIM. Oswald,
the man convicted ofkilling McWeeney,
in custody. On the same train we're w.
w. Erwin, the prisoners counsel, and
also his father. and mother. In order to
avoid the crowd of curious sight seers
that were watching at the depot to catch
a glimpse Of the prisoner, the party
alighted at the water tank and walked
up the railroad track. The prisonerwas
conveyed to the jail and turned over to
Sheriff jerks, who assigned him to a
cell on the upper corridor. A Plain
dealer reporter called at the Jail, and
through the courtesy of the sheriff. was
allowed to see the prisoner. The epor.
ter entered the cell and after the cere-
mony of introduction, took a seat on q
bunk and sought to engage Oswald in
conversation. Oswald appeared perfec-
tly at ease. though as he glanced about
his bare. cell a look of disgust would
o~verspread his features. He expressed
himself pleased with the change of his
quarters from the JAIL at Devils Lake,
saying that the smallness of his recent
quarters gave MIN q stlHeQ 1eellng. On
the subject of his trial he was very reti.
cent. except saying that he hoped that
a new trial, which his counsel had ap-
pealed for, would develop facts in his
favor that would extricate him from his
disagreeable ~predicament. He is a fine
looking young man of about q years of
age, o.. symmetrical build and athletic
proportions. All who know him say that
when sober he is all that could be de-
sired as a friend and companion, but
when intoxicated his disposition under
goes an entire change, and that he is O
dangerous man.

Baltimore Special.
ThesBaltimore ministers and strict Sundav-iaw
observing citizens have succeeded in preventias
Postmaster Veasey from establishing SUNDAY
mail deliveries to accommodate the business
men. The Postmaster-g general has written a let
ter to the postmaster, in which he says:
Il recognize that the proposal to establish
Sunday mail deliveries emanates from your zesa
and public spirit as an officer seeking to afford
the utmost conveniences to the citizens of Baltl
more. and that there are very many reasons in
support OF the proposed action tending to indicate
that 1t would not increase the work already
necessarily performed Sunday. 1t would, how
ever, be an innovation upon the usages prevail
ing throughout the country, and it appears TO me
a step in the direction of an increase of Sunday
toll. The beneficent uses of society and tho
blessed comfort to all who labor with hand or
brain following the institution of one day in
seven as a period of relaxation, whether it be
spent in divine service, 10 decent recreation, or
in intercourse with friends, or in whatever other
proper manner different opinions may dictate
are so well assured by the experience of men
that, although the fact strongly indicates its or
dination proceeded from more than human wis
dom. its continued observance is at least obliga-
tory In just regard to our fellow-men, as
we'll as in religious obedience. and the
importunate earnestness of our methods of busi-
ness so continually presses and encroacnes upon
the Gay that it seems to me the part of wisdom
to resist any change which is in the direction of
an added establishment of labor. Much is due
in this respect to the opinions of those-certainly
among the very best citizens of the land-whose
religious feeling is shocked by any new action OF
the nature of that proposed"
The decision is of national significance, as it is
reported that similar requests have been made
in other large cities. A special dispatch from
Washington states that the Postmaster general
received many protests from ministers. and that
some people thought the Postmaster general
might allow a partial delivery Sundays to mer-
chants, but he says if a delivery was ordered il
must be a complete one and a general order to
the whole country.

A Man Who Says the Present Administra-
ton Will Build No More with Granite.
~Pittsburg Dispatch.
1.-THE federal building may not be finished for
ten or perhaps fifteen years" remarked Mr..
which competed for the stone contract, yesterday
afternoon.
"4And Why's" was asked.
'Well, everybody knows that the limestone
supporters are mad; so much so that they will
do anything TO thwart the plan adopted. When
the first appropriation for the granite work of
the building comes up before the Congressional
committee on expenditures for public buildings
they will object to its confirmation on some pro-
text. and thus delay matters. They can do it,
because the Indiana Congressman are in the ma
jority on the committee. In this way the fight
will become bitter, and work will be delayed I'M
til a settlement is reached. / feel confident that
this will be done.
''Ons thing is certain, there is no use of any
person bidding for stone contracts for public
buildings hereafter during this administration,
for limestone is bound to get it. AS evidence of
this. you can see that the Detroit and Louisville
buildings will be of limestone. The decision on
the former was made one day ago. Secretary
Manning's action on the Pittsburg building
puzzled the boys. When my company's repre-
sentativesc called upon him and urged the Berea
sand stone for the building at a cost of SOC. 900
less than granite, and 800, 900 less than the lime
stone, he replied that he wanted to cut down ex-
penses, and would consider our proposition.
We then understood that he was in favor Of
limestone. This talk of the Chamber OF Com
merce and Congressman Bsyne inducing him to
decide on granite is all .bbsh. he hecifed fS
just because he wanted to-; that is, for reasona
best known to himself

The Flower of the Bayard Flock.

WASHINGTON special.
Miss Katherine Bayard was the eldest of the
Secretary's six daughters. The next, Mabel
Bayard. is the wife OF Dir. Samuel D. Warren.
Of Boston, and Miss Anne, Miss Florence and
Miss Louise Bayard have but recently entered
society here. The youngest daughter is with
Mrs. Warren in Boston, pursuing her studies.
Miss Katherine was the flower of these daugh-
tiers. q brilliant. clever and accomplished girl.
whose latest sayings and doings were always
quoted. She was well-read. gay, humorous and
witty, aud her spirit and repartee made her IA
nous as a conversationalist. She was a fearless
rider. and at hunts and riding parties would
dare any leap and put her horse at anything;
while her GOODNESS and presence of mind were
equal to any emergency. When unseated by a
vicious horse last fall, and her foot caught in
the stirrup, she held on by the pommel and the
horses name, while it ran for a half mile before
overtaken.
AS the eldest daughter of her invalid mother.
she had all the charge and responsibility of the
family, and her younger sisters had a blind.
passionate admiration for her, and all leaned
and depended on her. She was the chief COM
panion of her father, and resembled him in many
traits. more than any other of his children.
Certain audacious and eccentric things that she
did were only the repetition of his own younger
course. and Miss Bayard's courage was always
quoted. The shock and horror of her death are
the more terrible in view of her active part in all
that surrounded her, but many recall how she
used to say that she wanted to die like that
illustrating it with q snap Of her nervous
fngers).
