An Urgent Request for FfnanciaI Aid
for the Stricken City.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May 13.-At
a meeting of the executive committee
of the Jacksonville Relief Association
this afternoon the decision was arrived
at that the division of the money so
far contributed for the relief of the fire
sufferers was far from being adequate
to meet the demands. President Car
ner of the relief association: Bishop
Weed, of the Episcopal diocese of Flor
ida and Mayor Bowden were appointed
committee to prepare an address to
be issued. They issued the following:
The the people of the United States.
I'VE, the undersigned, representing
the people of Jacksonville, wish to ex-
press to the people of the United States
the heartfelt gratitude of the people OF
this city for the way in which they
have responded to our needs. The re-
lief committee of Jacksonville sent out
statement some days ago in answer
to the numerous inquiries which the
committee have received II was then
too soon to estimate the extent of the
damage or to estimate the needs of the
people. 1t is now ten days since the
fire and we are beginning to realize the
greatness of the calamity which has be
fallen us. We have received MANY
generous donations in the way of sup
plies of food and clothing, but we find
ourselves confronted with the need of
clearing away the debris and maintain
ing proper order and discipline, trying
to prevent sickness and caring for
those who are sick. 1t is impossible
to render ten thousand or more people
homeless without some Offering. it is
impossible to meet all the>cases of need
at once. The sanitary need of the CITY
must be perfected and maintained and
unless we can have the aid of the char
liable people of the United States we
are compelled to acknowledge our ina
oiiiIy W COpe July WIN the situation,
Only those who have been in the city
and can realize the nature of the dis.
tress of many who have been turned out
of houses and homes can appreciate the
danger of sickness from The huddled
condition of the people, making the
situation more alarming. 1t will take
very large amount of money at the
smallest estimate to meet the actual
needs of the people and put the city in
a proper condition. Our duty compels
US to call upon the generous and al
ways ready people of this country for
assistance in this, our hour of need"

MCKINLEY, THE HUSBAND.

Criticism of Mckinley, tne politi-
clan and President stops abruptly
when Mckinley, the husband, steps in
to view.
This is a chivalrous nation. In no
other country does woman occupy so
high place as here. which is one of
the first and best evidences of the SUI
periori-y of American civilization and
manhood. This trait in the American
character is strongly IN evidence in Mr..
Mckinley, whose unselfsh and untir-
ing devotion to his invalid wife causes
the heart of the nation to warm to-
wards him as nothing else could. Po-
litical barriers are swept aside in the
tide of sympathy between all sections
and the President. Especially has the
chivalric heart of the warm blooded.
Democratic South leaped forth in quick
response touched by the Presidents
manly devotion to his invalid help
meet.
<hoN ASOU at lAS SldlI against the lOlS
journey, fatiguing under the most fav-
orable circumstances. Mrs Mckinley
declined to remain at home and has
stayed by her husbands side through
out with the result that she has several
times broken down and the President
has been compelled on her account to
leave the party at one of the most in
teresting junctures of this most inter-
esting tour in order that Mrs McKin-
ley may have time to recover and tray-
Ell more at ease. The tour may be cur
tailed in consequence.
Although the pleasure of the outing
has been sadly marred for the. Presi-
dent, he has been chivalric and tender
devotion personified, and the whole
country spontaneously lifts its hat to
him.

DO CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN.

The announcement that the summer
girl has already appeared at Atlantic
City leads a serious minded New York
woman to protest against any further
exploitation of this creation of i'm
poverished newspaper fancy" Evident
ly she doesn't believe the summer girl
exists outside the overtaxed brains OF
the newspaper funny men.
She is, of course, wrong. We ali know
that the summer girl is very much
there. Still, it would be interesting to
know what becomes of her after the
season and whence she comes again on
the wings of the summer breezes. her
self the breeziest thing of all
Perhaps, suggests the Philadelphia
Record, sit is matter of clothes. Per-
haps the young woman has her varying
seasons of giddiness and irresponsible
ity, of dignity and hauteur and of intel
lectuality Carlyle almost affirmed that
men and women are what their clothes
are. There are certain established facts
to consider. In the old days of volun-
teer fire department business and pro-
fessional men who served as firemen
wore red shirts and trousers rolled up
over their boot-legs. The effect on their
manners was striking The sedate and
impressive banker could not refrain
from a swagger as he walked in his
uniform; he wore his hat and his cigar
at an angle, and would fight at the
drop of the hat, like the Bowery Nose
clergyman in tennis suit, with a
gaudy blazer, is wholly unlike the man
of the cloth. He must pull himself mp
often to abstain from the Irritation for
which tennis seems to have been insti-
tuted. The most nasal Yankee cries
'Hoot mon' when in golf tweeds. A
more striking example is the Knight
Templar. In donning the uniform of
that order a neXt-door neighbor seems
to change his very nature. One may
have seen him this morning only in his
shirt-sleeves, chasing the whizzing
lawn-mower over the green and may
have talked with him of bone-dust
dressing and other homely matters,
Now. in his plumed cooked hat and his
tinsel-covered regalia, and with his legs
entangled with a glittering sword, he
is not man to be approached lightly
He bears himself like a lion hearted
crusader, and would never be suspected
Of selling salt Goldfish and the like
Therefore, suggests our contempor-
airy, when a girl puts on the giddy col
ors and the light and flippant textiles
of summer wear. and leaves the re-
straints of the town for the freedom
of the seaside, it is reasonable to expert
a lightness of conduct that CORE
spends with he dress. She is Great
ure of her airy garments
Thus we have the wherefore of the
summer girl She is simply The same
old girl in another role.

UNION PACIFIC CONTROL.

The Question Not Settled Yet, and
May Not be for Some Time to
Come.
NEW YORK, May 13.-The World
tomorrow will say that Senator VIM.
A. Clark. who is now abroad, was a
large purchaser of Union Pacific stock
to-day and that these purchases were
made in behalf of the Hill-Morgan
party.
The World will also say:
IAN immense battle is now on for
control of Union Pacific, the fight be-
ing retaliatory by Morgan against the
Hartman syndicate for the latter's
struggle to wrest Northern Pacific from
the IIill-Morgan crowd. Kuhn, Loeb
& Company yesterday (Monday) COM
pleted a revised count of all the stock
actually held by them and their allies
here and by their agents abroad. This
count showed great change over that
made on Saturday. While the stock
actually in their possession does not
give them control, the margin is very
narrow, and they still have a great
many purchases to hear from. If one
fourth of these result in deliveries of
actual stock they will have control.

When their representative was asked
yesterday who was buying the big

to insure it's control?"
II would not say that"
Official announcement of those who
have control of Northern Pacific will
not be made until the end of the month
and perhaps until later.

the complicated system OF accounts.
Certainly present methods of municipal
accounting are generally very bad. The
trouble often is, however, that those in
authority have their own reasons FOR
not wanting a simple system which the
people could easily understand. 1t
