That prohibition in Berkeley, Cal,
has worked so successfully that dur
ing the year only four persons were
arrested for drunkenness, was the OBJ
servation that George w. Patty of the
Anti-Saloon League made during re-
cent siXty-day trip to the coast. Mr..
Patty came back this week. Discussing
California and some observations he
made as to the strides of temperance
in the state, he said:

when you strike the line of auto bus
and hack drivers. The efforts Of a
drowning man or the frantic attempts
of a person in a burning building to
escape are not to be compared with
it, However, the police are there to
see that the whole of the passengers
are not shanghaied to different parts
of the city against their will and peo-
pie generally get where they want to

REC0LLECIlONS Of REVOLUTION
IN HAWAII IS CASTLES Theme

"reminiscences of the Revolution of
Twenty Years Ago in Hawaii was the
subject of an interesting address de-
liyered by w. R. Castle before the
members of the Newcomers Club at
their fellowship supper in the Young
Mems Christian Association last even
ing.
Mr.. Castle was one of the band of
patriots which faced the danger when
che crisis came on Jan. IA, 1893, and
which took a part in bringing the
reign of royalty to a close in the Ha-
waiian islands. Last Saturday night
at the residence of Mr. Castle, the rev.
Iolutlonists of twenty years ago met for
a reunion and recalled and talked ov-
Ter the the events prior to the over
throw of the Hawaiian monarchy.
When the queen selected the cabinet
which was composed of Parker, Pc
terson, Colburn and Cornwell, the
Americans became disguised and it
was at this time that the first move
lment toward the revolution was begun.
On January IA, 1893, it was learned
that the queen was endeavoring to
force her cabinet to sign new con-
stitution which she proposed to pro-
mulgate Immediately to her people,
and as soon as this news was out,
meeting of the prominent American
citizens was held in the office of w.
o. Smith, where all present agreed
that-it was the duty of every citizen
to resist the revolutionary encroach-.
ments of the queen, and a message
was sent to the cabinet to this effect.
i At the meeting of the Newcomers
Club Mr.. Castle told in detail. the i'm
portant events from the beginning of

the revolution until the final over
throw of the monarchy. Near the
end of the revolution attempts at in
cendiarism on the part of the disorder
ly element of the city were described
by Mr.. Castle, and he told of an act
of loyalty on the part of a Portuguese
smuggler who stood guard over the
Castle home armed with a bowie knife
on the night the monarchy went out
of power.
at was twenty years ago today"
said Mr.. Castle in conclusion, that
the special committee, of which l was
a member, which was appointed to go
to Washington with the news, set sail
incidents of that trip and the work Of
that commission at Washington are
full of. interest and perhaps l may
talk to you about it in the future"
Of the little band Of patriots, which,
twenty years ago this month, over
threw monarchy, established a pros
visional government, and paved the
way for what is now the territory OF
Hawaii, the following, according to
Mr.. Castle, still survive:
