The story goes that recently a travelling
salesman hit upon a simple but very valu-
able invention. While on the road he re-
ceived a letter from his home in Chicago
and proceeded to open it by slipping his
knife blade under the fold and cutting along
the edge l~engthwise. Upon taking out the
inclosure he found that he had cut a bank
draft in two. The circumstance annoyed him
and he began trying to think of some way
to open a letter without endangering the

A K OF PAINTERS.
Masters Association Decides Not to
Appoint Union Men,.

The Masters Painters Association Of this
city yesterday decided to lock out union
painters employed by the members. The
action was taken because of the course
pursued by the union toward one firm of
the association, J. H. Ballman. A member
Of the union last evening said to the Jour
nal:
I'VE objected to the employing of nom
working for him quit. The association re-
taliated by declaring a lockout. We under
stand that they want to test the union
question. But this is a busy time of year
and I think the trouble will be settled
within a few days"
There are six firms belonging to the as
ISOLATION. They are j. H. Ballman f. J..
Mack & Co., w. A. Johnson, Joseph r.
Adams, Fertig & Keevers and William
Muecke. There was a meeting of the aSso-
citation as soon as it was announced that
Ballman's men had refused to work and
the members of the association decided to
force the differences to a settlement and
not await a general strike, which they
thought was sure to result. The trouble
with Mr.. Ballman's men all arose over the
employment of a nonunion workmen, who
refused to join the union and with whom
one hundred men are employed by the
members of the association and they will
be thrown out of work, awaiting a settle
ment of the differences. The association
claims there are not enough union men in
the city to do the work and they are there
fore compelled to go outside for nonunion
ment.

INDIANA'S VALUABLE CLAYS.

Important Finds.

State Geologist Blatchley was in his Of

field investigating the clays of the State.
He found one that he believes win lead

industry. 1t is a shale found In the coal
deposits in illimitable quantities in Yer
million county. It lies under a seam of
coal and great quantities of it has been
taken out of the mine and thrown way
as waste material. Professor Blatchley
thinks it would prove itself worth more to
the mine owners Wit their freight facili-
ties than the mines themselves. Another
valuable shale of which Professor Batch
ley brought home samples is suitable for
fire brick. It is a stratum six feet thick,
ten miles long and one mile wide. 1t is as
good as any of the deposits in Ohio which

THE HALE-MLEOD MATCH.
The Californian to Throw the HOosier
Three Times in an Hour.

Indianapolis will see one of the ~liveliest
wrestling matches ever known in this Sec
ton Of the country when Herb Hale and
Dan Mcleod meet at English's Opera House
Monday evening, May 6. McLeod is to
throw Hale three times within an hour and
the Indianapolis wrestler is confident the
Californian cannot do it. In fact the bet
ting is already in Hale's favor, some of his
friends offering odds on him. While Nc
Leod. probably. outclasses him, the Indi-
ana man is so clever and strong that he
looks like a winner especially with the
strangle hold and flying falls barred. Nc
Leod has a fine record, having defeated such
men as McInerney, Miller, Acton, Perrie and
others. He Is a 'tip-notch" catch-as-catch-
can wrestler and has a long record Of vic
tories, his first notable one being over Tom
McInerney In San Francisco in 1890, Mcleod
at that time being almost unknown. He
wrestles at 1855 pounds and his measure
ments are: Height, 5 feet z inches; chest,
451a inches; waist, "a inches; hips, 40 inches;
thigh, 23& inches; calf, 1874 inches; biceps,
16 inches; neck, Is inches. Mcleod is one
of the fairest wrestlers on the mat and
his reputation is clean in every way.
This contest at a high-class theater will
give everybody an opportunity to enjoy
what seems to be one of the popular fads
just now-wrestling. Ladies who care for
athletics can see these two athletes battle
next Monday night. The match is for 500
a side and a purse of $400.

litigation arising from the assignment of

Ut. The suit grows out of the company's
100000 bond issue os July Z. 1891, when a
mortgage covering the entire plant in this

Trust and Savings Bank, of Chicago, be-

went to Chicago shortly after the bonds
were issued and borrowed $4,000 of Henry
SouthwelI. The latter was to take 100000
worth of bonds and advance another loan of
$4,000. 1t was agreed by Cohen and South
well that the mortgage executed by the
company should not be placed on the Mari
