THE ORDER INCREASING.

Another Interesting Talk by General Worthy
Reasons for Its Growth.
General Worthy Foreman Morris l..
Wheat of Iowa, addressed, number of
knights of Labor at their hall on Fifth ave-
nue. last evening. 1t was a secret meeting,
and only members of the order were ad-
mitted. Mr.. Wheat is a very entertaining
talker. He will deliver a public lecture at
Lafayette Hall tonight, and his subject will be
Land, Money and Transportation"
In conversation with DISPATCH reporter at
the close of the meeting Mr. Wheat said: "I
will talk on the subject of labor, and answer
or attempt to answer all questions asked me-"
In speaking of the condition of the order,
Mr.. Wheat said it was in excellent shape and
is increasing rapidly in membership, "We have
seven lecturers In the field" said he, ''and all
of them are in Ohio at present. From Novem-
Der to January there was decrease in mem
bership, but from January to April ! there
was marked increase. During the month of
January 5000 was received for charters for new
locals at SIG each; in February 500, and in
March 81. 144 BY the Is cent assessment for
the educational fund last year, and 5 cents
this year, $4,000 was raised, and of that
amount SS99l was still in the treasury. A
member of the General Executive Board re-
ceived 81, 600 for the educational fund from
local assembly in Manchester, N. 81.
During my travels over the country in the
interest of the order have not heard of but
one unkind comment, and that was in a country
newspaper.
81 have just heard that the order has been
started in ireland. We have a number of
assemblies in England and Belgium, and pre-
dict large membership for the order in Erin"
In his lecture last night Mr.. Wheat spoke on
several subjects of interest to the members He
said there should be discipline, intelligence and
co operation. He spoke of the educational
features, and SAID the future policy of the
order must be followed out on that line. He
advised harmony, and said the knights would
then command the respect of all persons.

The MAY Mu.ic Fe.tivaI.

1t is a significant fact that at the ap-
preaching great May festival they use only
the Steinway pianos. All the other piano
makers were crazy to get their make of in
strument into the music festival, but the
high, artistic character Of the performers
and the elevated style of their music con-
yinced the managers that none but the
Steinway Grand could possibly fill the bill.
At the late Gilmore concert the Steinway
Grand, also, was the only instrument which
Mr.. Gilmore thought fit to be used in grand
concerts. This fact must be highly crafty

THAT LITTLE BLACK BABE.
The Infant Abandoned by Its Mother Dies In
the Hospital.

the Hospital
The infant that was abandoned by its
mother, Miss Lizzie Nolan, in Allegheny
on Sunday, died at the General Hospital
yesterday afternoon. The white mother is also
in the hospital, and is in very precarious con-
dition. Three physicians examined the babe
yesterday, and say it is colored child.
Coroner Mcdowell visited the hospital last
evening, and seems to be rather puzzled as 20
what kind of a charge he can make against the
mother of the child. 1t was not infanticide, as
the little one lived for two days after it was
abandoned. but its death was undoubtedly due
to neglect He will hold an inquest on the body
this afternoon.
The man who is engaged to be married to
Miss Nolan obtained permission from Chief
Kirschler to visit her at the hospital yesterday.
He does not believe she is guilty. and says he
will marry her as soon as she is released.

The British-American Association No. 2
held an animated meeting last night in the
hail in the Moorhead building, on Grant
street. After arranging to pay the expenses of
the late reception at Imperial Hall and pro-
viding therefor, a long and lively discussion
ensued regarding the arrangement of prelim-
inaries for debate on the proposed prohibi-
tory amendment to the State Constitution to
be voted on the 18th of next month.
The object of the debate is, If possible, to ar
rive at a definite understanding of the merits
and dement's of the measure, as the members
are widely divided in sentiment thereon, some
being strongly opposed to and others as radi-
cally in favor of it. 1t was finally agreed that
the debate shall take place at the meeting on
the 28th inst, and it is agreed that the dissec-
ton of the subject will be very thorough.
1t was also decided to institute course of
''nickel' readings similar to the penny" read
ings of the mother island, a project which will
not only be very interesting and instructive,
but supply funds for the prosecution of the

NEW REASON FOR DELAY.
Uncle Sans Local Time or Eternity Shop
Now Awaits Brick.


In answer to inquiries from the depart
ment in regard to the suspension of stone
cutting on the new Government building
in Pittsburg, Superintendent Malone has writ
ten that he stopped the setting of stone until
the bricklayers should bring the interior walls
up even with the granite portion. When
asked ii this was necessary or customary, the
authorities at the department declined TO ex-
press opinion.
Some time ago, when the first criticisms of
Superintendent Malone's tactics began to ap-
pear in the Pittsburg newspapers. the depart
ment intimated that an expert would be sent to
examine into the matter and report. This was
partly on account of the criticisms and partly
on account of the anxiety of Contractor Nc
Gowan, who claims that the delay occasioned
by Mr.. Malone is great pecuniary loss to him.
The correspondent OF THE DISPATCH yes
terday inquired at the office of the supervising
architect if any expert had been or would be
sent, and was told that such step had been
contemplated, but that since it was first
broached no expert had been available for the
purpose. When one would be sent, if at all, no
one could saw.
