In Brooklyn, on February 12th, was held the first meeting of the American Leprosy Fund Society, which has been organized since her arrival here by Miss Amy Fowler (Sister Rose Gertrude), who is soon to begin her work in the leper settlement of Molokai, as the successor of Father Damien. Cablegrams were received from the Prince of Wales, President of the British Society, with which the American Society will cooperate, and from the Rev. Hugh Chapman, the organizer of the British Society. The President, Mr. Richard F. Downing, read a paper on "Father Damien and the Lepers of Molokai," prepared by Dr. P.A. Morrow, who visited the leper colony last year; and remarks were made by Miss Fowler and by Dr. Titus M. Conn, who was born in the Sandwich Islands and has had ample opportunities for personal observation at Molokai. Miss Fowler will sail from San Francisco for the Sandwich Islands on the 28th of February.
