A Girl from Michigan Saves West

The following romance Of West Point
Is given by a correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch: There were hun
dreds of pretty girls from all parts of
the country at West Point participat
ing In the recent graduating festivities
at the military academy. They danced.
they strolled along Filtration walk,
they sat on the historic old chapel
steps and smiled so graciously that
every cadet heart was upset But the
queen of them all was n black-eyed
young woman from Michigan whose
health will be drunk at every army post
where the young officers of 1895 are sta
toned. and the story of whose ready
wit and audacity will be a West Point
legend for years TO come.
Four marks against a cadet render
him liable to dismissal, or as cadets
call 1t, found. Despite the strict rules
against smoking some of the young
sters run the chances of slyly putting
cigarettes, and having no pockets,

MR.. McCAFFERY's HEIRS.

The New York Herald says: Efforts
are being made in this city to find heirs
to the estate of John McCafery, who
recently died in Chicago leaving prop
erty valued at more than half million
dollars. 1t is expected that heirs will
be found in this city and in England,
Scotland, Ireland and in southern and
western States.
John McCafTery, when he died, was
a director in the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings Bank. He was born in Ireland in
1905; married at Gretna Green an Irish
lass named Mary Dawson, then fifteen
years old.
When thirty he came to America,
leaving his wife and three children,
William, Nancy and James, behind.
He worked on the Erie canal and Erie
railroad and requested brother to
bring over his family, one of whom,
Nancy, lay i'll and was left behind.
The family lived in Eimira, but re-
moved to Corning, n. Y. Here other
children were born, two of whom were
buried in Elmira. James also died;
William was kicked by horse and
lamed. He disappeared and it was at
first supposed had been stolen. He
had, however, embarked on a steam
barge, which was caught in gale in
1862 and went down at Point Lookout,
near the mouth of the Potomac.
John McCaffery built canal boat
the Erie Canal. In 1S4S he quarrelled
with his wife. She went to Starkey,
n. Y, near Lake Seneca, where she
settled with man named William
O'Daniel, who died in Andersonville
prison. Nancy came to this country
and died in Philadelphia. The survi-
wing children are Susan, now Mrs.
Brown Austin, of McKeesport, Pa, and
Margaret, now Mrs. Shipley, of Hagers-
town, Md. Another daughter died at
Georgetown. Among her descendants
are John and James Seaman, of George
town, and Mrs. Anna NJ. Whelan, of
Baltimore.
McCafery took his boat to the Dis
NAL Swamp Canal and got another
wife, named Douglas, an English wom-
an. There were two children by this
marriage, son and q daughter. The
latter, Marian, is now Mrs. John Hoop
