Mineral Displacing Emery.

A mineral display Of an unusual char
acter Is attracting the attention OF the
hundreds of people who daily pass the
windows of Stewart & Holmes drug store.
The display shows various forms OF the
famous carhorundum crystals, COM
pound now being manufactured at Nj
agara Falls and adaptable To many purpos-
es for which emery and corundum have
heretofore been used. Tho crystals are
beautifully rolored and sparkle with all
the brllliance Of precious stones In fact,
when the substance was first discovered
by l.. c. Acheson. a pioneer in the inves-
tigation of high temperatures. he thought
he had really made rubies or sapphires.
The crystals are purple and are almost
as hard as diamonds. In the same win
dow with the raw carhorundum are the
products which the skilled manufacturers
have wrought from the mineral such as
meFs, moldlng wheels, knife sharpeners,
homes. scythe and AK stones, etc. The
exhibit Is extremely interesting. more

AGAINST SLOT MACHINES.
Rev. l.. j. Sawyer Applies for War
rants for 100 Proprietors of
Gambling Devices.

Rev. L. J. Sawyer. pastor of the North
Seattle Baptist church applied TO the
prosecuting attorneys office yesterday for
warrants for the arrest of the proprietors
OF 100 slot machines within the city linn
its. Mr.. Sawyer. who is prominent in the
Anti-Saloon League, declared that he had
evidence enough to warrant the arrests
and to secure the conviction Of the pro-
prietors of the machines, and he insisted
that they be issued. He stated that he
proposed first To convict proprietors of
those machines that pay cash to winners,
and then to proceed against those that
pay in merchandise.
The application was made late in the
afternoon, and Deputy Prosecuting Attor-
ney Fulton told Mr.. Sawyer that he was
too busy to draw so many complaints.
He gave Mr.. Sawyer a complaint, how
ever, against A. Zbinden. proprietor of
North Seattle saloon and Mr.. Sawyer
agreed to do the clerical work of drawing
the other complaints himself. When the
complaints are all drawn they Will be
filed in Justice Austins court.
Mr. Sawyer also declared his intention
of making war on those saloons which
have lewd pictures on their walls. He had
such complaint drawn, and will cause
the arrest he says, of every saloon
keeper who permits lewd pictures in his
place of business.
