An Appeal From Governor Jerome.
To the People OF the United States.

To the People OF the United States.
Portions of four counties of this
state. lying principally between Sagi-
nav bay and Lake Huron, have been
devastated by forest fires. A drOuth
almost unprecedented in this section of
the country had prepared the way for
this calamity, and houses, barns, fences,
crops, cattle, agricultural implements,
household furniture, clothing and hui
man life have been destroyed by its
ravages. In some townships the de-
ST. uetiOn is complete and only a picture
of ruin is left. 1t is known that more
than 200 lives have been lost by burn
ing and suffocation. Many individuals
have become helpless through injuries
and exposure, and some are blind. The
number of men, women and children
left without shelter is estimated at 49,
600.
The benevOlence of the citizens of
this state responded promptly to the
necessities of these afflicted people, but
ample time has now elapsed and suffi-
Gent details have been received to
make it evident that a wider appeal is
needed. The restitution prevailing in
the suffering counties isappalling En-
tire neighborhoods are involved in a
common calamity and cannot help each
other. The sufferers have no provi-
siOns except such as are brought from
a distance, and no utensils to cook with.
The necessaries of life both large and
small have been destroyed. They need
shelter, clothing, shoes, cooking
stoves, kitchen utensils, beds
and bedding, wagons, har-
ness, plows, hoes, tools of all kinds,
seeds for future crops, and whatever
helps to make men self-supporting.
They have good soil, are near to
markets, and before this dreadful dis
aster befell them were thrifty and
prosperous people. Timely help will
enable them to go through the hard.
ships of the coming winter, and to be-
come again an independent communi.
ty. AT present they are penniless,
needy, sick and sutfering-many of
them in debt. Iappeal under circum-
stance like these to the generosity of
the people of other states, and ask them
to cooperate in their abundance with
the citizens of Michigan in relieving
this restitution. Nothing will be
wanting here in duty to the afflicted
sufferers, but the demands are too
great for the peoplof ethis Estate to
meet alone.
An organization for the relief of the
sufferers by these fires exists at Detroit
the commercial metropolis of the state
and systematic plans of relief have
been established.
The committee having them in
charge is composed of well-known
competent and responsible citizens

Some one has discovered that the
English alphabet was the invention of
a prehistoric Ohio man. A Major
Beebe has found in the mounds near
Piqua, Ohio, pieces of slate which bear
upon their surface hieroglyphics SINH
lar to the English alphabet. The most
significant detail of this Identification
is that the forms of the letters are al
most precisely those that occur about
the Mediterranean, and whose phonetic
values have been exactly determined
by Alois Hess in his standard work on
the classification of old Spanish coins.
But should this Identification be cor
rect, the point arises where the alpha
bet originated whether in this country
or in the old. Major Beebe claims to
have traced each form Of letter to alb
original American picture symbols, i'm
which the same significance obtains in
both European and American forms.
1t has always been matter of theory
that Ohio was the promised land that
Moses and the children of Israel were
hunting for so long, and that they
struck Canaan by mistake.
The general freedom from accident
or collision alcng the Huron shores of
Michigan during the time of the terri
bic forest fires was remarkable. The
accounts of the heat and darkness seem
almost incredible.
