RAID ON SLOT MACHINES.
The Police Have Begun to Gather IN
the Wheels of Fortune.

The crusade against the slot machines.
which have become 40 common In Rich
mond since they were legalIzed by the
last Legislature. has begun.
y. Morella. a saioon-keeper at the cor
ner Of jail alley and Broad street, and
Il. CARROLL, who runs a saloon at the
corner of Fifteenth and Franklin streets.
were arrested yesterday, charged With
engaging in unlawful gaming. The men
were bailed to appear in the Police Court
this morning.
The police have for some time had their
eyes on these machines, as they were an
innovation in Richmond, and looked to
them, they said, very like gambling ce-
vices. Every saloon has one OF the
wheels, and there are comparatively few
OF the confectionery and fruit stores
without them. since the passage OF a law
by the last Legislature permitting them
TO be licensed.
THE CRAZE is GENERAL
The craze for playing the machines pas
become very general, and all ages indulge
IN the pdSllIne. IL - 'Nfh "NA'N 1900 -
fair sex is sometimes represented aHona
those who are tempting the goddess o.
chance. Parents complain that theh
small boys spend all their nickels in th'
machines. and there are stories current o.
children actually stealing money In oroe
TO risk 1t in some of the tempting devices
that seem to offer chance OF doubling o.
trebling the capital invested.
The police say the Legislature had m
intention of licensing such machines a
those now in use, but that 1t was though
that the bill passed only legalized the de
vices, such as those which give up enc"
ing gum upon putting in penny AM
pressing the knob, or stamps and en-
yelope and paper, upon putting nickel Il
| the slot and turning a crank.
The law is thought to make 1t uniawiu
TO use devices In which. money is placed
| and money received, If the player j
| lucky.
A well-known police officer SAID las
night he proposed going before the 1ouh
Mems Business Association at It's mex
meeting and endeavor to induce 1t to tax
some steps TO have the use OF IN
wheels discontinued. Nearly all IN
wheels are owned by persons VINO nav
no interest i'm the places where tney ar
located. but who receive a snare Oh III

Fairy I'm the Pine-Trec.

There's a fairy in the summit OF the pms
tree, great and high,
Where the gnarled and twisted Drahches
bend and sway, -, 49,
And she sits and gaZes ever Where the
hills and valleys lie,
And the shifting shine and shadow neck
And she sings the sweetest song
All the balmy summer long
Low and deep
But the rarest song that wings
Is the lullaby she sings
Half a-weep,
Far above
Is the lullaby OF love,
In her sleep.
There's a fairy in the pine tree that no
eve hath ever seen,
In her lofty home she croons and weaves
her spells; ,, -.
And the magic that she whispers is ten
der charm. l ween,
Or eo the olden Choctaw legend tells;
For when youthful lovers breathe
Their first love vows beneath,
sweet and low,
The fairy in the pine
Waves a wand In mystic sign.
Ere they go
60 they say
THAT their love may live for eye
Free from woe. >. NJ HECh.
