 The monthly statement of the city clerk shows the finances of the city to be in good condition, notwithstanding that much work has been done during the year on the streets and much more Is under way. There was in the hands of the treasurer at the beginning of the present month, the sum of sl59224. The school fund is still in debt, but there has been substantial reduction in it
 The statement follows:

TAXES MONEY
More Than S6OOO Required
 for City Schools.

It will require more than s6l20 to run the city schools for the year that will begin Monday next, according to the estimate of the school directors. This estimate includes 5000 for the cost of the heating plant and improve ments to the building.
 The estimate contemplates nine months school, with four teachers, and is as follows:
 Salaries, teachers and janitor. .s432o Repairs to building. g........... ... 1000 Coal. ......... .............'.' '..'.''' OoV Incidental expenses. 300
 Total. al.................., ..solZo
 In addition to the foregoing, the school district has an indebtedness of sl6s2.67. This will be paid as soon as the court shall grant the licenses, ap- plications for which are now pending.
 The anticipated revenues for next year are slightly less the estimated ex- penditures. It is thought that there will be between 5000 and s6OOO collect ed during the year. This would leave an indebtedness at the clcse of the year of from 5000 to 5000, unless the city council should come to the aid of the school system with some of the general fund revenues.
 It has not yet been decided whether or not high school class will be taught this year. If a sufficient num- Der of high school pupils should appear to warrant 1t, they will be accepted. In that event Prof. Lee and Miss Fer guson, of the 7th and Sth grades, will handle them.

For some time local musicians have
contended that music will kill mosqui-
toes. They say that mosquitoes will
hover upon the walls of room in
which there is music as If charmed by
its influence; but that there is high
note, which, when reached, paralyzes
the nerves of the little brute and kills
her instantly. Prof Joe Rosen, the
Honolulu violinist, has for long time
contended this to be fact, and still
maintains that he has demonstrated
and can at any time demonstrate it.
In view of the circumstances it might
be cheaper and more effective for the
Board of Health to employ the musi-
clans OF the city to make a house-to-
house canvass of Honolulu and play
the mosquitoes to death

TOPICS OF THE DAY,

Special native police officers are now
being numerously employed in order,
no doubt, to boost the candidacy Of
High Sheriff Brown for county sheriff
They are to be paid out of no specific
salary appropriation, and this may ac-
count for the large police incidentals
appropriated by the last Legislature
without any forethought of how the
same was to be expended. And here is
one plain solution of the problem.
1t is small wonder that Candidate
Brown for county sheriff is not doing
any better than what he is at present
doing with all the liquor and beer
saloon men in his favor and with the
$40 assessment per head on each po-
liceman, as well as all the other as
sistance rendered him by the Govern
ment Yet he thinks he is 1T with all
these assistance he is having. He'll
have to wake up early in the morning
if he wants to win, as they will not
avail him any effort to be effective.
If the trustees of the Bishop Estate
again white-wash Curator Brigham
they will do so at the expense of the
Bishop Museum. A large section of
this community, irrespective and in
dependent of religion, condemns in a
most pronounced manner the course of
the curator in respect to the late Fa-
ther Damien. The simple presence of
the crank in the institution will have
the effect hereafter of dulling interest
in it and would cause many of it's
friends to draw completely away from
it.

ther Valentin at the Catholic Mission.
The statements show beyond any
question of doubt that the curator of
the Museum indulged, in the presence
of the two gentlemen, in the most ex-
traordinary and unreasonable abuse Of
the late Priest.
The Independents editorial of the
14th was re.published in the Adver-
tiser Of October Is. A copy of the
latter paper, containing the article,
was sent by the Trustees of the Bish-
op Estate to Prof. Brigham together
with the following letter:
"Prof. w. T. Brigham, Director B.
p. Bishop Museum, Honolulu. Dear
Sir: Enclosed we send you copy of
this mornings Pacific Commercial Ad.
vertiser which contains an article
charging that recently while two gen,
tlemen. named Boulton, were visiting
the museum you made to them state
ments and remarks derogatory to the
memory of Father Damien.
1--WE would ask that you inform us
as to the truth of this published state
ment."
In reply to this communication the
committee received reply from the
Director in which he made the follow
ing statement: 1.-THE article to which
you refer had no truth in it. These
two gentlemen, named Boulton Gath
er and SOM came here with a special
request of Governor Dole that l would
show them the Hawaiian portion of the
collection. While fulfilling this re-
quest one of them asked me about GER
tain persons and replied that | must
decline to discuss such matters"

SATURDAY, OCT. II, 1903.
PUTS Liz ON Liz.

Prof w. T. Brigham, curator of the
Bishop Musuem, has done precisely
what we thought he would do when,
on the 14th instant we published an
account of his TRADE upon the late Fa-
ther Damien in the presence of the
Messrs. Boulton, of London. He has
gone whining to the Trustees of the
Bishop Estate and has there denied
the truth of the account. In grasping
this means of defense Prof Brigham
feels safe behind the fact that the gen. !
tlemen to whom he made his extraor-
dinary statements regarding Father
Damien have left the country. 1t is
+ well for the public to know, however,
that Brigham knew before they sailed
/
that his statements to them would be
published, and he was requested to
make any denial or statement at that
time he might see fit, the desire being
to settle the matter between the gen
tlemen before they separated To this
reasonable proposition Brigham re-
piled that he had nothing to say, or
words to that effect.
Now that the gentlemen have gone
the curator comes out with denial
that he villiied Father Damien before
them at the Museum last Monday. He
figures that as the witnesses are no
longer here he can deny and there can
be no reply to his denial. In this, how
ever, he will find himself greatly mis-
taken. Before leaving Honolulu the
Boultons made their statements to a
number of people, but more particu

After reading the letter OF Prof. Brig
ham one is led to wonder at once why
he did not deny the statements of the
Boultons while they were still here,
knowing as he did that the facts would
come out. There is but one answer;
He at first felt secure, but reckoned
that if the charges were actually made
against him his word would counter
balance any hearsay evidence. The
following letter from Father Valentin
will, however, doubtless arouse him
from this untenable Nightmares:
Editor The Independent.
Sir:--In answer to the article of the
Advertiser, appearing in today's is
sue, with regard to the Damien-B Brig
ham matter, l will state here that your
editorial was correct and that was
informed about the fact by the two gen.
t!emen at the Young hotel. Later on
the Messrs. Boulton, father and son,
made the same statement in presence
of Bishop Libert and myself at the
Mission.

Yours truly,
FATHER II. VALENTIN.
Honolulu, Oct II, 1908
Yours truly,

People who know Bishop Libert and
Father Valentin know that they will
under no circumstances and for no
purpose distort a fact or facts. When
they say that the Boultons made these
statements to them the public knows
that they speak the truth, The Boul-
tons are prominent men Of London, both
noted for their integrity and superior
standing They are men who would
not speak falsely of another, and in
this instance they had not and could
not have any reason to misstate the
words of Prof. Brigham. The question
resolves itself into one of who is to be
believed. Should it be the word of two
gentlemen of known veracity and I'M
