Been Issued.

Conditions Now such That an Appeal Has
Been Issued.
Jacksonville, Fla, May IA. --Funds
are urgently needed to carry on the re-
list work In this city. The situationN
here has never been adequately broughtX
before the country, owing to the strangeN
desire OF the representative business
men not to place Jacksonville 10 the at
titude OF beggar. But the condition.
now staring the community IN the lace
is such that 1t was decided at the meet
ing of the Relief Association yesterday
afternoon to cast aside all false prideS
and make known TO the people OF the
United States the need of the fire swept
CRY.
Accordingly Bishop E. g. Weed OF
the Episcopal Diocese Of Florida, Mayor
j. T. Rowden and Capt. O. e. Garner,
president OF the Relief Association,
we're instructed to draw up an appeal
to the Christian people OF the land toI
come to the rescue at once. UnlessI
charitable persons In all sections OF theI
country respond Immediately the cityd
will be unable to cope with the situa-
tion and sickness and restitution will
be widespread.
The text OF the appeal which wa
issued yesterday is as follows;
ITO the People OF the United States!
"We, the undersigned, representing1
| the people Of Jacksonville, wish to ex-I
press to the people OF the United Stated
| Inc heartfelt gratitude OF the people of
| this city for the way in which they haveI
responded to our needs. The relief
committee of Jacksonville sent out aI
statement aome day ago in answer to
| the numerous inquiries which the COM
mittee has received. 1t was then too
soon to estimate the extent Of the dam \
4 age or to estimate the extent Of the
4 needs Of the people. 1t is now 10 days
since the gr' at fire and we are begin-
| ming to realize the greatness Of the
calamity which has befaiIen u.s.. We
have received many generous donations
in the way OF supplies of food and
| clothing, but we find ourselves con-
| fronted with the need OF clearing away
the debris and maintaining order and
discipline, trying to prevent sickness
and of caring tor those who are sick.
1t 10 impossible to render 10, 700 or more
people homeless without extreme suffer
ing 1t is impossible to meet all the
cases of need at once.
1.-THE sanitary condition of this city
must be perfected and maintained, and
| unless we can have the aid Of the
charitable people Of the United States
we are compelled to acknowledge our
Inability to cope fully with the situa-
tion. Only those who have beer. in the
city 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 hud-
died condition of the people, making
the situation alarming. 1t will take a
very large amount Of money at the
smallest estimate to care for the actual
needs OF the people and put the city In
a proper condition. Our duty compels
us to call upon the generous and always
ready people Of this country for assist,
ance in this, our hour OF need.
The appeal is signed by Bishop Weed,
Mayor Bowden and Capt. Garner.
