we've received informing the society
that all operatives under the age Sprci-

A Fortune that Came too Late.

WHEELING, W. Va. Feb. %
Charles Hale, for the past ten years an
inmate Of the jefferson county. Ohio.
pOorhCuse, on Saturday received uoti-
lication from a New Haven, Conn,
legel firm that through thecdeath Of Il
brother, a large real estate owner in
New Haven, he had fallen heir to $50 :
600. Hale, who is now a white-hairtd
man of 20, and decrepit in body, WAS Il
prosperous merchant in Cincinnati, but
whiskey and gambling wrought his
ruin. He says the money comes too
late, and prefers to end his days in the
infrmary. Hale has several wealthy
children in various parts of Ohio.
TIE SLATE INDUSTRY Of Lehigh and
Northampton counties is becoming an
interest Of no mean proportions. The
growing scarcity of timber suitable for
shingles and the steadily increasing ten
dency to the use Of brick and stone for
buildings, both in city and county.
have given the roofing slate business Il
regular boom during the past few years.
AS Pennsylvania possesses the best
slate quarries in the United States IL
good deal of attention has been paid of
late by railway corpora tions to secur-
ing fOOthold in the slate country, not
SO much for what the business is at
present as for what 1t promises to be in
the future. Tho output was greater
during tie past year than ever, and
new quarries are still being opened.
/ is very eYident that the slate product
of the state is soon to figure among its
most lmpOr rtant sources of wealth.

Available Candidate.

Philadelphia Times.
TO assume that the mere consider
alton Of availability has concentrated
public attention upon Gov. Cleve
land, Of New York, as a candidate for
President IS to doply a very inadequate
understanding Of the present politi-
cal situation. Managing politicians
attach a great deal Of Importance to
availability, but it never was the cause
Of a spontaneous popular movement.
Gov. Tilden was nominated in 1876 by
the irresistible logic of events, be
cause he represented positive pur
pose Of admins rqtive reform; and
Ike was elected. Gen. Hancock was
nominated in 1880, after much con-
sultation, as an available candidate,
and he was not elected. 1t IS some
thing more than merely an available
man that Is demanded in 1884.
That is why Clevelands name is
uppermost. Mr.. Tilden said, there
is no man in the country whose nom
nation and election would stand for
50 much. lie presents precisely the
thing to which the Blaine and Logan
nomination is most antagonistic
sober and honest administration.
lie represents fresh and rurer i'm
pulses, with higher and broader aims
than NEE success Above all, he
represents the delivery Of the party
and nation from the old warehouses
whose lives are absorbed ia the past
and from the bosses who liz c only for
spoils. The more the warehouses pro
test that Cleveland Is rot the man,
and the more john Kelley and his
kind oppose him, the stronger will
grow the damand for his nomina
ton.

who is uncontaminated by The long
