TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Now that the concert for the Lep-
ers' Christmas fund has proved such
au enormous success, thanks to the
charitable instincts and generosity
OF the community, it is only natural
to suggest the question OF the beat
way Of distributing the fund which
amounts to a handsome amount
equivalent to about dollar head
for each of the inhabitants at the
Settlement. The INDEPENDENT has
heen asked to recommend that the
coin be entrusted to a COMMITTEES
consisting of Superintendent Rey-
nolds, Ambrose Hutchinson, Thos.
Motley, T. X. Nathaniel, and the
managers OF the Bishop and Bald
win Homes for distribution among
the settlers al may best suit their
wishes Instead Of seDding material
from here. Books and magazines
and toys may we'll be forwarded by
individual contributors but the mo-
ney may prove more uaeful in many
homes. One of ths hest friends OF
the S -ttlement who first interested
himself in connection with the press
to establish this fund has suggested
that small Hawaiian flags be sent to
each child, believing that it will be
adopted as the territorial flag and
will induce sympathetic alliance
with the greater country to which
we are now joined.

many OF them, from loathsome and

done at the remarkably low average

other hospital necessities. Taking
into account the high rate OF COM
