NEW YOEE5 February 2.-Last Sunday
night there was fire at the hospital for the
ruptured and crippled, which resulted in 3
panic among the children and the death Of
one Of the -domestios employed in the In
stitution- It was evidently Of inoendiary
origin but there was not the slightest clue
TO the euiprit. The FIRE marshal has been
closely investigating the matter ever sInoss
and this afternoon reached a rather
astonishing solution Of the mys-
terry. Since the fire Of Sunday,
other attempts 70 fEe the building by plac-
ing matches On the register In such way
that their ignition would quickly start a
c0nhagFation have been made. This after
noon another and nearly successful attempt
was made BY setting IRE 70 8 lot OF linen in
a drawer. The IRE department was called
and another panic among the cripple5 en-
sued, but fortunately the ire Wss soon ont.
Nobody was hurt One Of the patients, Mary
Wilson, q pretty and engaging child OF
IL years was discovered sneak1ng away
from the spot where the fire
was discovered, and the IRE marshal, whose
suspicious already pointed toward her taxed
her with the crime. She at drst stoutly
denied it, but finally broke down and con
fsssed that she had made half dozen at
tsmpts to burn the hospital. She did not
know why she did it A physician who
examined her says she is afflicted with pyro-
mania

WASHINGTON, D. @. February S.-ProfessoF
=. B. Cowgirl, sugar commissioner for the
state of Kansas, is in the city looking after
the interests of the sugar industry. PrOfes-
sor Cowgirl was formerly contested with
the sorghum sugar mandatory at Sterling,
Kan, and has been prominently identified
With the new industry ever since Its 1naugu-
ration in the state, He declares that the
sorghum-groW of Kansas are united with
the planters of the south, In opposition to g
removal or reduction Of the tariff on sugar.
s'The present tariff Is far preferable to any
bounty which might be offered, - said Mr..
CoWgiII. ga bounty is always uncertain,
and, I think, would prove unsatisfactory.
The free traders are making an effort to
have the tariff removed, and one of their
latest arguments is that free sugar VIII
destroy the usefulness of the present sugar
trust. The way to do away with the trust Is
to keep the tax on sugar ana encourage the
sorghum sugar industry. If the tariff
tinkers viii just let sugar alone and not
worry themselves about a bounty they VIII
confer a lasting favor on the American PEG
pie, and particularly upon the growers of
cane and the manufacturers OF sugar, Doth

To add to the burdeRs black measles have
