DOWN WITH SALOONS
A LARGE MASS MEETING HELD IN
TOPEKA.
A Negro Whisky Seller Attempts to Reply
To Speeches, And Is Thrown Out
Of The Hall.

Topeka. Kas., May S.-The people of
Toneka have declared war upon the
unlawful saloon. A week ago hand
somely appointed saloon was opened
i'm the principal street of the city after
an absence of twelve years and 1t has
been claimed that liquor was being
sold there openly. The state of AFFAIRS
sufficed to provoke a mass meeting at
Hamilton hall, the largest auditorium
in the city, last night, which was at
tended by 5000 people. H. A. vance,
president of the State Temperance I'm
ion called the meeting to order. Early
in the proceedings a sensation was eau
sed bv ex-senator William F. PETER
and A. L. Williams, a general attor-
ney for the Union Pacific made speech
es in which they advised that the peo-
nile take the law into their own hands
and destroy the saloons by force If nee
essary. When the assemblage had
been worked up to a state of more or
less excitement, a notorious negro
Joint keeper endeavored to reply to one
of the speakers. The secretary of the
meeting took the negro by the throat
and thrust him from the stage when
other men grabbed him and threw him
out of the hall.
The meeting, after listening too sew
eral fiery speeches adopted resolutions
calling up Gov. Leedy to remove the
Topeka police commissioners and de-
mand that the city and county officers
prosecute violators Of the law.
The chairman was also authorized
40 oDnoin+ n committee of FIVE to see
that these demands be complied with"

GOOD NATURED BADINAsE.
The Boston Post on the Visit of Lii
liuokalani.

can papers nave gone out Oi thelr way
to insult Her Majesty Liliuokalani,
now visiting the great () Republic.
No notice should be taken to the
comments OF the majority Of the
prints OF the United States. 1t is
refreshing, however, to read the re-
marks OF a leading Boston paper
although assuming the nature OF
badinage. The Boston Post OF Dec.
22nd says:
Ex-Qu, n Lydia Liliuokalani is
enjoying her stay in the city, despite
the fact that Boston, for many
reasons, must ever be a melancholy
spot for Hawaiian holiday.
And those reasons can be easily
comprehended when one looks back
nine years nd recalls the OK Queens
first visit to Boston. She was then
a "royal highness"
For a whole week she was the
guest Of the city, and it simply "laid
itself out" to do her reverence. The
crowd surged around her carriage
and cheered Justify as she drove
through the streets. The officials OF
the city and Commonwealth We'd
with each other in honoring her.
She was dined, feted, toasted,
smothered in flowers and entertained
from the moment OF waking to the
one OF sleeping. 1t was delirious
week, royalty conceived and royalty
carried out.
Then she left and the aftermath
came. 1t came in the shape OF a
kick-a mighty one-over the bills,
which were royal too. The com
mittee had expended about $4,000
against their royal visitors. The
smothering in flowers act alone had
cost $4,000. Half a dozen of the
men who had been prominent in
entert aiming her had nice little
orders in pretty red morocco cases,
and large, crinkly parchmenis, signed
"Kalakaua, Rex" which entitled
them to be known as knights com
manders OF the order of the Kapio
lani.
The public had had it's fun and
seen the show, so it was inclined to
say Hang the expense, put it all
down to me-" and the noise of the
kickers gradually subsidized.
THOSE DAYS AND THESE,
But, oh, what difference between
those days and these
Her Majesty, as the ex-queen is
known as far as the entrance Of the
Parker House, went to bed Saturday
night with half-formed intention
to go to church in the morning
But when she awoke and caught
sight of the frosty panes, she felt
a yearning to be sitting on her front
porch in Hawaii, clad in
diaphanous gown, with a minion or
two beside her to manipulate palm
leaf fans.
So she did exactly what probably
half the people in Boston were doing
at the same time, decided 10 skip
church under the circumstances,
and turned over for an ex-royal
forty winks.
At she breakfasted in her apart
ments where she remained during
the morning, denying herself to all
callers.
About noon a sleigh, something
after the fashion of a coupe on run
ners, drew up before the door, fol-
lowed by a double cutter. They had
been sent by Mr. Armstrong OF the
Armstrong Transfer Company, who
had arranged to give Queen Lii a
sleigh ride and a sight of the snow
bound parks,
Hawaii, though long on flowers
and sunshine, is short on snow.
Queen Lii had never sat behind the
jingling sleigh bells before yester-
day morning.
She came down bundled up to the
eyes in two or three sets Of wraps

Cleopatra's Body.

Where does Cleopatra's body rest9 7
Scarcely a layman who would not
answer, "Why, in Egypt" After
her cajoleries, her wiles, her lie OF
intense, il not very exalted loves,
Cleopatra was laid in one OF the
ioveliest tombs that have ever been
fashioned by the hand of man. But
what change 1000 years have
brought about! To-day an ugly
mummy, with an mathematical bunch

tied to its head mere roll OF

MORE MIssTATEMENTs.

1t is pity that book like the
Hawaiian Almanac and Annual
edited by Mr.. Thos. G. Thrum, a
prominent government employee,
cannot be issued without containing
gross misstatements and falseboods.
In the Annual of 1897, we notice
the following paragraph on page
125: "The opening year witnessed
the pardoning of the remainder of
all political prisoners, and on
February 7th, the restrictions on
the movements OF OK Queen Liliu-
okalani were modified to require
until further notice simply the
consent of the President or
member OF the Cabinet in the event
OF leaving the island OF Oahu. This
proviso was duly complied with on
her recent departure by the steam
ship China, December 4th, 1896, for
San Francisco, on a visit to the
Eastern States and possibly Eng.
land"

WATERFRONT wHLsPERINes.

this morning and did not get away
until noon. She carried away heavy
amount of freight for Hawaii.
The barkeutine S.G. Wilder, Capt.
Mcneil will leave for the Coast on
Thursday next. Two thousand bags
will be sufficient to topp off th-
Wilder's cargo. Captain Mac will
make it warm for Captain Drew OF
the Welch if his vessel ia favored
with fair winds and weather.
The steamer Kilauea Hou is sche-
duled to leave at 4 this afternoon
for Laupahoehoe. Haka!au and Ho-
nomu. She will bring sugar on her
return to port.
The steamer Scray is at the old
Fishmarket wharf discharging Frisco
cargo. 1t is expected that her cargo
will % out tomorrow.

day has been declared a national
holiday. The following is the
American rule in regard to such
matters as laid down in the "Hand-
book OF official aud social etiquette

a national anniversary occurs on a
Sunday, all ceremonies are deferred
until the following day" But the

How dear to memory the Monar-

the buttons worn by the servants Of
the Monarchy. A high officer in

three dollars each, and to the sym
pathizers of the Republic at that
price. When oyalists go into the

Whatever the gentlemen who will
appear on the old dramatic stage of
Company b this night have to say,
it should be remembered that the
Hawaiians, the owners-in justice
and fairness-of he land, decline to
entertain for one moment the pro-
position to barter away their birth
rights-for nothing They say, aud
they moan it, that they prefer to
succumb to the oligarchy Of Dole or
to annexation to Japan, rather than
to join hands with the country
which traitorously overthrow the
established government, and the
journals of which daily heap insults
on the Hawaiians and everything
belonging to them. Annexation is
not wanted here.
