THE SLOT MACHINEs.-Thc order of
Mayor Strauss for the removal of slot
machines from stores and saloons has
caused considerable comment, though
every one Acknowledges that, under the
present laws against gambling, they
are illegal and that the Mayor would
be recreant to his trust were he to per-
nit their use. Some persistently as
sert that the order was issued at the
suggestion of parties believed to be in
terested in the abolition of slot ma
chimes, but the suspected parties are in
nocent. The manner in which the at
tention of the authorities was called to
the machines was on this wise: A man
who had won the contents of one of the
devices in saloon went to the station
house and alleged that the proprietor
had refused to give him the nickles.
He explained the workings of the ma
chine and was told that under the law
both player and owner of the machine
could be fined. Later, the matter COM
ing to the knowledge of Mayor Strauss,
he examined one of the machines and
pronounced it of a gambling nature, as
did also Corporation Attorney Brent,
and the order for their removal fol-
lowed.

grand, but beautiful and enduring

BLINDFoLDED THEIR COMPANION
Five youngsters aged about sixteen,
some of them armed with catrifes,
went into the country adjoining the
city yesterday afternoon on hunting
expedition. The seven-y ear-old son OF
Capt. Charles Taylor accompanied the
party. At dusk, when about to return
to the city, the youths determined to
play practical joke on the child by
blindfolding him and leaving him to
find his way home as best he could.
They arranged the hoodwink in such a
way that it was impossible for the little
fellow TO remove it. Sometime after
wards resident of the county found
the child crying and straying about at
random and removed the bandage from
his eyes and saw him home. The police
have been notified of the occurrence and
will arrest the perpetrators of the cruel
Joke.
