The Citizens Guard.
The Citizens Guard have lately been
improving their organization. This Is not
regular military body, not uniformed or
drilled. 1t consists largely of householders,
who are organized in squads Of thirty or
forty men, each under sergeants and cor
porals for the purpose of guarding and
patrolling the streets in their own vicinity.
In case Of alarm Of disorder or insurrection
they are prepared to occupy their assigned
stations at once with their rifles. On the
night OF the 9Th of January last every i'm
portant street corner in town was thus
occupied by armed guards in one hour
after the alarm was given, and numbers
Of native insurgents were turned back who
were on their way to cooperate with Now

for ten nights, when a mounted patrol re-
heved them. The experience then gained

ganization, which have been adopted. Each
member Of the Citizens Guard wears a
silver badge
On the termination Of martial law the
president issued general order warmly
acknowledging the service of the military,
the volunteers, the Citizens Guard and all
persons cooperating in the suppression Of
the rebellion. Special thanks were given
to the many ladies who literally supplied
food and refreshments to those on duty.

Stories of Mrs. Dominis.

despotic spirit of this perverse sovereign,
I Will give couple of Incidents, which I
have received from an absolutely reliable
source Early in 1891, a day or two after
I1iliuokalant became queen, Mr.. s. NJ.
Damon, who was well acquainted with her
and had enjoyed her confidence, visited her
and pointed out in his very persuasive way
the Importance of selecting for her cabi-
net men of responsible" character She
abruptly replied: II intend that my min
listers shall be responsible to me!' and
turned her back upon MIR. Damon.
The other Incident Is this. After the
queens attempt on January IA, 1888, to
promulgate a despotic constitution, and
the violent agitation. which that act ere
ated, her very attached friend, Mr.. ]. O.
Carter, peroeiving the great peril in which
she had placed herself, at once drew up a
form OF retraction of her attempt in plain
and positive terms This he carried to
her ministers and pressed upon them as an
urgent necessity q avert her deposition.
They fully agreed wAh Mr. Carter. but
were unable to move the queen. 1t was not
until Monday morning, the 10th, when the

Even then all the ministers could get from
her was an extremely guarded admission
OF partial retraction Of intent to change the
constitution, not at all such as Mr. Car
ter had judged necessary. Her reluctant
and partial yielding had no effect upon the
citizens, who knew too well that she was
past mending her ways.

Mrs. Domfnis was arrested on the 10th Of
last January in the morning. At a later
hour her house was searched by officials,
her buried arsenal unearthed, and her pri-
vate papers examined by the, chief justice.
An agent of the ex-queen was present

her adherents assembled on the premises,
