A ROMANCE.
sudden Transition From Poverty to
Wealth.
Inc Good Fortune ofa Poor Son of ireland
att Time When it is Greatly Needed.

DETROIT, Mich, April 12.-In an upper
story OF dilapidated brick building on
sixth street lives an old man named Peter
havanaugh, his wife and daughter Up to
a few days ago they considered themselves
poor Mr. Kavanaugh was born in Dublin,
ireland, in 1924, of poor parents, who had
besides himself beautiful daughter, Mary
Ann. AT the age of twenty young Kava-
naugh married, and in 1855 sailed for
America, leaving his wife and family in
Ireland. The young man soon found EN-
ployment, saving enough money to send
for his family. On their arrival they
settled in London, Ont. His two
sons, Peter and Thomas, came to the
States" whittier they were soon after
followed by their parents and sister. They
settled in Detroit, but continued very poor
The old man had given up all hopes Of
hearing from his sister, as he had heard no
tidings OF her for twenty years, the CORE
spondence having at that time closed in a
peculiar manner. Coming home one even
ing little out of humor, he found his wife
reading letter from the sister, then In
Paris, and inclosing directed envelope.
Without saying word he took the package
from her hand and threw it into the fire.
Thus was lost the only clew to
his sisters whereabouts Imagine the
feelings Of the aged couple, at whose
door poverty was rapping, when they
received, few days ago, from young
man whom they had brought up in Canada,
and who is now in the Northern part of
Michigan marked copy of the Hamilton
Spectator of April /, which contained the
following: Peter Kavanaugh, late of Lon
don, Ont, son of Lawrence and Mary
Kavanaugh, and brother of Mary Ann
Kavanaugh MRS, Goddolph) late of sgd
ney, New South Wales deceased is heir to
an estate worth sl,000000, left him by his
said sister, Peter can learn all the particu-
lars by applying to Cameron q Breadley,

emotion, but there is no doubt that | am

your sister became so wealthy" asked the

"unless some rich man fell in love with her
for her beauty, and took her to live in
Australia But, however she got it, God
knows it did not come to me any too soon,
as | am in pretty straitened circum-
stances Mr. Kavanaugh is about to
place the settling of the matter in the
hands of a reliable law firm in this city,
and expects to have the money in few
months.

THEIR GRIEVANCES.
The National Executive Committee of the
Knights of Labor Gives the Causes
for the Strike

Sr, Louis, April l3-The National Execu-
i've Board of the Knights of Labor has
oeen collecting reports of alleged violations
by the Missouri Pacific Company of the
agreement of March, 1855, to present to
any Arbitration Committee, il one is ap-
pointed under the Curtin resolution. The
following general bill of complaints has
been drawn up by the Knights of Labor; /.
In many cases the September wages never
were restored, as the agreement provided
2 Section foremen were reduced S. a
month without any notice. 3. Boilermak-
ers were sent out on the road from Dem
lson, and allowed only one-half time while
travelling. 4. Eng ne-wipers in round
houses were reduced from Sl26 to 81. - per
day. D, The car foreman at Fort Worth
was reduced SO month and then had to
40 the work of two men, for which
the company had previously paid
double what they paid him. 6. The
foreman in the min at Desoto was re-
duced $40 month without notice. I. Car
men at Parsons were reduced about $40 per
month without notice. s. Many men work
ed over the entire system eleven and twelve
hours per day for sl15, without pay
Tor overtime, and on Sunday the same
long hours for same sum- sl.15 without
pay for overtime. g. When they were dis
charged on no other grounds than that
they had taken part in the strike OF
1885, and new men were employed at les:
wages in their places, systematic
method of discharging in detail and re
placing with cheaper men was being car
ried out, which, if allowed to go on, would
have resulted in bringing the men back tc
the reduction basis against which they
struck in 1885. 10. Stock yard men at Sc
dalia have frequently worked twenty-foul
hours on a stretch, and have never receiv
ed any overtime. They have generally
worked ten hours, and have averaged
nearly fifteen hours day, II
Bridge-building gangs in Sedalia anc
Washington have not received extra pa,
for travelling at nights, or working il
water, or working overtime, II. Sectiol
hands have been paid sll0 a day. and dur
ing the winter are allowed to make onl'
three days work, OF the men at and abou
Sedalia most have to live and support fam
lilies on this-S3 80 a week 49, The wage
Of some shopmen at Sedalia are less thai
| those paid to some shopmen at othe

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
Belief Expressed That 1t Is Incurable,
and That Prevention Should
he the Effort

ST. Louis, Mo, April 13-The R,ral
World will publish tomorrow letter from
DR., Paul Paquin, State Veterinary Surgeon
of Missouri, who is now in Paris studying
under NJ Pasteur and his co-laborers on
the various contagious diseases of Europe
which we have in America, The letter is
one Of great interest to those who have
given any thought to peuro-pneumonia, in
that the Doctor expresses the conviction that
remedial efforts are of no avail when once
the disease has become seated. He says
"In contagious pleuro-pneumonia which
threatens the vast stockraising interests
of the United States, no other treatment
should be employed, in my opinion, than
preventive ones, for, as it has been so
often demonstrated the disease can rarely,
if ever be cured by medical means, and it
is certainly favoring the spread of it to at
tempt such treatment Of the preventive
measures which have been recommended
and criticised, two, and only two in my hum
BILE belief, should be employed one, inocu'
lation, the other, slaughtering of every
diseased ANIMAL DR.. Paquin seems, from
the tenor of his letter to be thoroughly
convinced of the usefulness of incubation
and its efficiency, an opinion which, as yet,
has hardly found favor with the leading
authorities in this country, but rather tho
reverse.

BOyCOttinU Gould.

Rrw YORK, April l3,--The Central Labor
Committee to carry on the boycott against
Jay Gould, has not yet been selected The
Central Labor Union men say that they
hope first to interest the different assem-
bies of the Knights of Labor in the boycott
if they can, and afterward to issue circu-
lar letter requesting the public to desist
from travelling upon any of Jay Gould's
railroads, including the Elevated railroad,
and from sending dispatches by the West
ern Union Telegraph Company There are
a good many Knights of Labor in the West
ern Union building, they say, and still
larger number upon the Elevated railroad,
and the boycotters are debating whether it
would be discreet to invite these men to
sacrifice themselves for the cause. Mr. Jay
Gould was asked if he had discovered in
what way the members of the Central
Labor Union proposed to boycott him. He
replied that he had not and confessed that
he was rather curious to know. Looking
down at his clothes he remarked; II have
worn this suit two winters and guess |
can get along with it awhile longer if the
tailors boycott me. Then, you know raise

EPlSTOLARY ETHICS.
why a Gentleman or Lady should Answer
Every Letter Received.

The man who deliberately and in
tentionally neglects to acknowledge
gentlemans letter is blackguard.
The mere fact that the letter be of no
profit to the receiver, and that TO send
an answer will inure in no way to his
benefit, Is no excuse for neglecting TO
pay this debt which every man owes to
society. Every man is born into the
world under certain obligations to the
community. and it is on the condition
of his honestly meeting these obiiga-
tons that he can lay claim to member
ship in that community with its at
tendant rights and privileges. Among
these duties is that OF aiding in the
protection of your fellow from physl-
cal or moral outrage. If this duty
were not fully recognized the crowded
streets Of a city at broad noon would
be no more secure for the traveller than
the most lonely Western road at mid
night. And persons character would
be no more secure from aspersion IN
public assembly than in the most Sc
cluded chamber. The robber and the
slandcrer could gang their ain gait y
without hitch or hindrance. There
are many other duties and debts to
which human being falls heir the
moment he breathes the breath of life.
which we will not enumerate, but re-
turn to this matter ofanswering letters.
/ There are. of course, many letters
which require no answer, such as those
editors and business men often receive,
such as merely contain some suggestion
orinformation. There are other letters
which deserve no answer 1t is not to
these we refer. but to the ordinary
reSpcctful letters which gentlemen are
in the habit of writing to each other.
Not to acknowledge one of these is an
unpardonable solecsm. Yes, it is
worse than solecism, it is an imper-
tinence. Naturally there may be many
excuses Tor neglect-ill health, great
press of business. domestic attiictton,
etc.
Some people claim that they are so
overwhelmed with correspondence that
they can not attend to it all. In such
cases the person is generally of sutfi-
cient importance to be able to afford a
secretary.
We Americans are sadly derelict
both in this matter and in that of keep
ing appointments. and were we to
carry this National habit into Europe
we should soon find ourselves dropped
(to use the mldest term) out of all de-
, cent society. But fortunately we are
an observant and adaptive people, and
readily ''catch on to the usages OF
those with whom we come in contact,
and so save our dignity and our status.
