The QUEENS HosPTTAL.-For want of space, we
are compelled to synoptse the reports of the Sec
rotary and Treasurer of the Queens Hospital for
the past year, from which documents we gather the
following interesting information regarding this
valuable Institutions The following statement
shows the financial con dition of the institution as
stated by the Treasurer, John H. Patty Esq: Re-
ceipts from May 81, 1877, to May 81, 1879 years,
S39, DOS Is. Disbursements to June 1879 So, 057
IS, with balance of cash in Bank OF s.. $40. 90.
Tue total amount received during 20 years the De-
Rod since the Hospital was established, including
the CASH balance, has been $3.50. 95702. From the
report of the Secretary, +. A. Schaefer Esq, we
gather the following statistics: During the term
1884 persons have been received as indoor patients
OF tue Hospital, of whom 604 were Hawaians and
$50 Foreigners and 81 persons treated as out
door patients, while the sum OF S34 057 IS has been
expended Tor the requirements OF the Hospital
during that time. The number of deaths were 81,
which is trlhe over 10 per cent. and proves be
moderate proportion, 10 comparison to similar
institutions in other countries The receipts OF the
hospital tax and from foreign patients have been
quite large e. Z. sis, 1921 aud S7,Sl2S9 respec-
lively, and 10 providing for the requirements of the
institution for the future it would be unw,se to
take these figures as standard The great influx of
Chinese laborers during these two years subject TO
hospital tax cannot possibly continue for a length
OF time. and II the number of foreign patients of
the Hospital should still increase the accommoda-
tons for them will have to bI enlarged aud at no
small cost" The Secretary then compliments The
physician and purveyor OF the Hospital on the
