After a Brave Struggle with an Overwhelming Debt the Hospital for Sick Children is Within Sight of Freedom â€" Only $19,000 Required to Free It. Eight years ago the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, was in a most precarious financial position. Only al few sanguine friends believed that the huge debt of over $106,000 would ever be lifted from it. A prominent Mont- real financier, when asked to loan money and hold as security on mort- gage the hospital, enquired as to the suitability of the building for “factory purposes." Perhaps it was his re- marks as much as anything else that helped the brave ones who stood by the hospital. The very idea. of such Hospital in a generous manner. Many splendid gifts are received from friends outside Toronto. It costs over $30,000 each year to maintain the Hospital. About $100 a. day is needed to buy food, medicine, surgical appliances and nursing for this army of little onesâ€"446 patients being in the cots at the end of this fiscal year. An appeal is being made by the Hos- pital Trustees this year for $19,000â€"â€"- the sum required to entirely free the Hospital of its debt. They issue the. " AN IMPERISHABLE MONUMENT OF LOVE. a possibility stirred the hearts and spurred the efforts of those to whom the Hospital work had become dear. Taking the responsibility of the load upon their own shoulders the trustees of the Sick Children’s Hospital ap- pealed to the generOUS hearts of a rich provinceâ€"Ontario. Here is a. Hospitalâ€"they told it through the newspapersâ€"which throws open its doors in answer to the cry of any sick child, a Hospital that has nursed and, cured thousands of helpless and crippled children; a Hos- pital equipped as is no other institu- tion of its kind in the world. Shall a charity so sweet and deserving be forced to close its doors by a. mort- gagee who thinks it might do for a. mill? That was eight years ago. Not he tore nor since has a. single sick child been refused admission to the Hos- pital. A staff of doctors and a corps of trained nurses are there during the day and the long watches of the nightâ€" tenderly and skilfully caring for the lit- tle ones given into their care by fond, anxious parents. Little children are brought to the Hospital from the farth- est points of the province. Every town and township has been represented: during the past quarter century. The fame of its great healing power has. been told in many a humble home-wl for during twenty-five. years 40.000 sick children have been taken care of. Some of the little ones treated in those early days are strong, healthy men and women to-day. Last yea" the Hospital roll number-- ed 5,776 patients. Some spent day“. and weeks in the cots at the Hospital. Others came for a. few days. while many were brought to the doors of the Hospital in the arms of their mothers and received such medicine and advice as to speedily effect. a cure in their own homes. More than one-third of the little chil- dren admitted to the Hospital wards came from places outside the city. The people in the province have helped the appeal to their friends throughout the, province. In a letter to the editor of this. paper Mr. J. Ross Robertson says that , the Hospital has many well-wishers among our readers who have given ipractical voice to their sympathy in A past years. He believes that they will respond cheerin and generously this year to the call for help. They want 1 to end the century free of debtâ€"That on the morning of the first day of the gTwentieth Century there shall stand 1 free, a monument to man’s generosity Eto countless sick childrenâ€"an imper-- E ishable gift of love from the men and ' g I." _'. .

Lâ€"A daring attempt was made lastnight by five men to hold up an Ogden avenue electric car at Randolph and Canal streets. The robbers were beaten off, after a furious battle with the crew of the car and several passengers, but not until Edward J. Wright, president of a commission house, had been robbed of a satchel containing more than $300 in cur- rency and certificates. There were twenty passengers on the car. When the police patrol wagon arrived on the scene, in re- response to a riot call turned in by a cit- izen, they found the conductor, John Stein. deck, lying insensible in the street, bleed- ing from halfa dozen wounds. The in- terior of the car was wrecked. The win. dows were broken, and the floor and seats sputtered with blood. During the fight in the car several wo- men fainted, while others leaped panic- stricken from the car. Several passengers received cuts and bruises. -0 The question of protecting the Welland Canal against attack from lawless charac- ters is occupying the attention of the D0< minion authorities.
