time Of the overthrow, and, some time
before the election of constitutional
convention to provide a government
for the Republic of Hawaii, took the
oath of allegiance to the provisional
government. The clergyman, in one
of his letters, under a nom de plume,
quoted the Encyclopedia Britannica for
the proposition that il the sovereign
of Great Britain at that period should
die it was improbable that the min
istry then in office would resign, be-
cause the new cabinet would have to
possess the confidence of Parliament
to avoid its immediate overthrow
This was verified some years later
when Edward VII succeeded Victoria,
notwithstanding that older British pre-.
cedent was one of the main grounds
of the Hawaiian decision.

the Hawaiians that she had been be-

reposed confidence meaning that the
ministry at the eleventh hour had de-
clined the responsibility Of standing
by the revolutionary act proposed
but she promised her subjects In e..

for a constitution that would restore
native rule.

FACTORS OF STRIFE

It was the distracting constitution
al situation-the triangular parliamen-
tary factionalism already described
which, more than anything else, led
to Liliuokalanps undoing. She was
advised by some of her intimate sup
porters to end the anomalous condi-
ton of affairs by proclaiming a new
constitution without regard to the ex-
isting fundamental law, where it pro-
vided that any amendment thereto
should be passed at two successive
biennial sessions Of the legislature be-
fore receiving the royal support. A
new constitution was drafted in Sec
ret by her radical advisers, which
restored the prerogatiVes of the con-
stitution abolished in 1887, and went
even further In reaction toward abb
solution. It substituted an elective
house of mobiles with one whose mem
bers were appointed for life by the
sovereign, also made the tenure Of
office of cabinet ministers subject
wholly to the royal pleasure. For.
eigners given the franchise by the
constitution of 1887 were deprived Of
that privilege-in the words Of the
manifesto of the committee Of safety

RADICAL COUNCILS PREVAIL

Events following quickly proved
that the queen had yielded to the i'm
portunity of her radical friends. Be
sides her attempt, upon the proroga-
ton of the legislature on Saturday,
January IA, 1893. to promulgate the
new constitution which failed
through lack of courage on the part
of her new cabinet to support the pro-
ceeding in the face of alarming de-
monstrations by influential residents
there were three other principal
causes of revolt alleged against her.
One was the dismissal of her last
previous cabinet the day before pro-
rogation upon the strength of vote
of want of confidence carried in the
legislature by a majority OF one to
which action she was held to be privy,

uokalani was proclaimed Queen of the
Hawaiian Islands. Her accession

incidents that proved to be correct
foreboding of the brief and stormy
reign that followed She thus relates
her initial experience:

DEATH
PUT SISTER UPON
HAWAIFS THRONE
Princess Lydia Becomes Ruler
and is Plunged Into
Trying Times
THE death of Queen Liliuoka-

THE death of Queen Liliuoka
lani on Sunday morning
brought to a close life
crowded with varied scene and
incident, a life rich In wide ex.
perience and, until she was de.
posed, one which moved in scenes
of pomp and ceremony.
Americas only queen passed
away at the age of seventy-nine
years, two months and eight
days. Her Iseventy-ninth birth
day was celebrated on Septem-
Der 2 last.
Her life and activities have
been followed with international
interest from the day, nearly 81
years ago, when she acceded to
the throne left vacant by the
death of King Kalakaua. Few
figures in recent American his
tory have been given more atten-
ton than hers, though she has
spent most of her life on al
island in the Pacific, remote from
the great mainland cities and the
national capital.
Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani was
born in Honolulu on September 2, 1888,
the descendant Of long line Of ma
tive Hawaiian chiefs. In conformity
with the Hawaiian custom, particular
ly of the aristocracy, she was given
away in infancy by her parents to an
other chiefly couple. Her foster par.
ents placed her In the Royal school,
established for royalties by American
protestant missionaries, where she re-
ceived an excellent English educar
ton besides being nurtured in the
faith of the American puritan fathers.
AS she grew up Princess Liliuokalani
became a leader in the activities of
the Hawaiian evangelical church. In
1866 she became leader of the choir
Of Kawaiahao church, the old coral
edifce erected by early converts OF
the missionaries which is still one OF
the landmarks of Honolulu, and while
OCCUPYING that position composed the
Hawaiian national anthem, Hawaii
Ponoi," at the request of Kamehameha
v. During her checkered career she
composed hundreds OF songs, among
them the strangely pathetic melody,
"Aloha oe," which has become a
world classic.

in her book how she was kissed and

regretted his action. turned the scale
by voting with the opposition. As
the queen announced in withdrawing
the document that she would await
more favorable opportunity for its

clined to accept the assurance of her
ministers that nothing more would
be heard OF the proposed new consti.

they dine at hotels. restaurants or
boarding houses. Though they may
follow every letter OF the food con-
servation laws laid down by Hoover
when they are preparing food or eating
II in their own homes. they throw these
precautions to the winds when they
dine IN public. When you come to
think OF It. 1t is just rs absurd to make
the plea that IL others break the Hoo
yerlan code in restaurants. you are jus
tilted in doing SO also as It would be
to minimize the Importance of indi-
vidual effort in the home.
The members of the food admins
tration who have charge Of the hotel
and restaurant situation have come to
the conclusion that as much depends
on what the individual orders In the
hotel as on what the hotel manage
ment does by way of economy. IL
really is up to you when you order to
exercise patriotic restraint. Cut the
following suggestion out and slip II in
your purse or pocketbook for refer

Easy to Make This
Pine Cough Remedy
Thousands Of families swear by
its prompt results. Inexpcn-
sfye,, and saves about 81.


You know that pine is used in near
" all prescriptions and remedies for
coughs. The reason is that pine con-
tains several peculiar elements that
have a remarkable effect in soothing
and healing the membranes of the
throat and chest. Pine is famous for
this purpose.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup" part
is usually plain graduated sugar
syrup. Nothing better, but why buy
it? You can easily make it yourself
in five minutes.
To make the best pine cough
remedy that money can buy, put IA
ounces of Pinex 600 cents WORTH in
a pint bottle, and fill up with home-
made sugar syrup. This gives you a
full pint-more than you can buy
ready made for $3.50. 1t is pure, good
and very pleasant-children take it
eagerly.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way that means
business. Splendid, too, for bronchial
asthma, hoarseness, or any ordinary
throat ailment.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM

for its prompt results.
