". C. T. U.

Archdeacon Fsrrar, speaking at
DevOnshire House, said: I'VE sacri-
fee In England every year to the
drink demon more children than
were offered to Moloch in ages gone
by. In London at least a thousand
babes are suffocated by drunken
mothers every year"
Here are some facts and figures
used by Judge KimbaIl, of the Wash
ington Police Court, in temperance
address: For the fiscal year 1894
the United States Government issued
22S,090 liquor licenses, which is
equivalent TO one licensed saloon for
each 29S people, not to mention the
unlicensed liquor sellers. In Wash
ington there are COS licensed bar
rooms. one for each 445 people. De.
Quoting women and children and
temperance people and there are less
than 100 drinkers to support each
saloon. The estimated annual con-
sumption of Intoxicating liquor in
the United States is per capita:
whisky, gallons; wine, 1 gallon;
and beer 46 gallons. This at the
lowest wholesale price amounts to
SS33,OO0,0O0, spent directly, but the
indirect cost by loss of wages, loss of
health, position and life, is far
greater"
Miss Gordon Cumming in Two
Happy Years in Ceylon," says, Gov
eminent holds q monopoly of the
whole liquor traffic of the isle, and
has, therefore, a direct interest in
pushing the sale of drink. Hence
railway refreshment cars and rooms
are exempt from paying license. and
the stations are placarded with adver
tisements of the whiskey which has
dug more British graves in Ceylon
than malaria, sunstroke and cholera
put together"
The Western Christian Advocate
says: The Hawaiian race is dying
out rapidly. The missionaries have
done much to elevate the natives, but
drinks aud the accom-
psnying vices bid fair to exterminate
the race. The saloons have more
power to destroy than the churches
have TO save"

COLLECTOR MOTLEY SUSPENDED
Investigation Being Made of His
0flce-Not Under Arrest.

Word was received by the Kinau
that Collector General Castle was
busily engaged in checking up the
books of the Hilo customs office.
1t will require several weeks to
finish the investigation, it being
necessary to 60 back to the time
when Collector Motley was APP
pointed.
While it is generally admitted
that young Motley has been indis-
Greet, the impression prevails in
some quarters that his accounts be-
came entangled through ignorance
of bookkeeping methods.
Collector Motley has been sus-
pended pending investigation of
his Office. He has not been ar
rested or even kept under surveil-
lance.
Among the candidates mentioned
for the position are Warren Good
ale and a party named Daniels,
who is a recent arrival.

SEIZURE OF OPIUM.
Clear Case Against a Chinaman
for Selling the Drug.

A seizure of opium was made by
Captain Scott and Special Cordes
on Hotel street yesterday afternoon.
For several days the officers had
been on the track of a Chinaman
named All Lun. Information re-
ceived stated that the Celestial was
in the habit of selling opium.
Chinese informers were put on
the track at once. Two or three
times these men went into the
place and purchased opium, pay
ing the price in marked coins.
At the appointed time the off,
GERS bounced upon the unsuspect-
ing Chinaman, and found in his
dingy room two large horns of
opium, holding about a pound of
dope each, together with some
ichee nuts, neatly put up for sale.
These were placed in a bag and
the procession of officers and China
man proceeded to the police sta
ton. The case will probably come
up in the police court today.
