5000, 900 GLUCOSE FIRE.
Tho Main building or the Peoria Grape sugar
C0mpauy's Plant burned.

PEORIA. ILL.,, July 24.-The main building of the
Peoria Grape Sugar Company, one of the two
large glucose factories here, was destroyed by fire
last night. with a loss OF nearly 100000. There is
doubt AZ to the origin of the fire, as the factory
was shut down on last Sunday because Of the
coal strike. The engineer says the lire started
in the sulphur storage room In the basement,
where an immense quantity OF sulphur, used in
the manufacture OF glucose, was stored.
There seems to have Doen an explosion, ne the
fire spread over the basement in II moment. The
nature OF the materials made the building OK
ceedingiy infiamnaUle, and in 1--WE minutes the
great eight-siory building Was a mass of flames.
The books in the office were saved, but every
thing else was destroyed.
NJ mayer Il. +. Rho iehamel was in Chicago at
tho time of the fire. He returned this morning
and began preparations for rebuilding.

Hospital Tor Hncurnh1en.
To THE EDITOR OF The suN-Sir: Your
kindness in printing my letter OF appeal for
money to holp q few ot my patients resulted in
the donations which I cnumerste below. The
cordially expressed In the letters which brought
me money was 30 encouraging that I cannot but
hope an appeal for a hospital Of fine proportions
for this especial work, insuring three hundred
free beds, would meet with the approval of your
readers. and gain for charity q wave of splendid
aid that would carry it far upon the dry land Of
secure activity.
Ihave often expressed my belief that tho gen.
eral public must nurture this somewhat new
form OF charity, because to the general public
must turn those who look for It's existence
through a hundred years and moro, for a reason
as noble as 1t Is practical; because of the i'm
mensity Of the responsibility, which no persons
or estates could be supposed to carry alone. A
charity that intends to cope with the incurable
poor In a class Of disease 80 prevalent as cancer
and Its kindred disorders can only be developed by
the public, as the street railroads are. Small do.
nations in great numbers, these are the force
which will create and continue tho innumerable
free beds needed for incurables who cannot pay
Tor care and home, but who should be cared for
because we have been commanded to remember
them.
