NEW JERSEY'S ALL-YEAR PARADISE The One Northern Seaside Resort Where Winter Blends With Summer and Boreas Finds No Foothold for His Chilling Strides. Warmed by the Genial Gulf-Stream in Winter» Cooled by Ocean Breeze and Piny Zephyrs in Summer, Atlantic City is Ever Inviting and Ever Without a Peer. "A northern seaside resort open in the winter-time?" It seems like a suggestion of utter impossibility, except with the provisos "fine skating and first class ice-boating for every guest." Nevertheless, within one hour's ride of Philadelphia, and three hours from New York, there is a seaside resort, a place of world-wide fame and long-established reputation, where the comforts of summer may be enjoyed in deepest winter, and where the piercing frosts of Boreas forget to come. The place of such apparent impossibilities? Atlantic City, New Jersey. There is no "season" at Atlantic City. It is "open" all the year round. January is as June at this ideal haven, so far as the accommodation of visit¬ ors is concerned, and the eager thousands press thither as happily in Decem¬ ber as in May—and are as well housed and as well pleased. A phenomenon of nature? Possibly—yet a glance at the map will tell the story. The Gulf Stream sweeping up the coast, passes close to the point of land where Atlantic City stands, and, even as it warms the air of Florida, softens and makes delightfully mild the climate of the New Jersey seaside paradise. In summer, the atmosphere, thanks again to the ocean's infiuences, never grows oppressively warm. The climate is not only equable, but delightfully dry and laden with healthful breezes, due not only to the ocean to the east but to enormous pine forests toward the west. Eminent physicians indorse Atlantic City as a health resort, summer or winter, with few parallels and no superiors. The Pennsylvania, Philadelphia & Reading railroad, and the Central Railroad of New Jersey touch Atlantic City, and place the town in quick communication with the whole country. One of Atlantic City's most notable features is the famous "Board¬ walk," built on a steel foundation, lifted six to ten feet above the sands, fifty feet in width, and skirting the water's edge for more than seven miles. It is undoubtedly the grandest marine promenade in America today, if not in all the world. Riding, cycling, fishing, bathing, automobiling, boating and hunting are pleasures easily obtainable at this favored spot, and may be classed as pleas¬ ing incidentals of America's mctst remarkable all-the-year resort. • r-" N. ^■¿ájfíécú 10^^!/ _9^J.

They have ambulances for conveying injured animals throuah t e city in any case where there is anvcham e for recovery. In 1BT3 tliey estab¬ lished il paper called tlie " Ilnnufnt Jonnml," whicli is still fighting for the cause in whose interest it started. Annexation.—Previous to 1889, tlie business men of Cliicago who lived in the sulmrlis and traveled back and forth to their business in tlie city, often wondered why tbe municipal advantages their "tuxes 9 ANN—APA helped to procure those living within the limits could not be extended to themselves at their homes. Finally, permission in due form was obtained from the Legislature and submitted to a vote of the people. Thus the towns of Cicero, Hytle Park, Jeffer¬ son, and Lake, and the City of Lake View, on the 29th of June. 1889, were annexed to the City of Chicago. From about forty-four square miles, her territory increased by this peace¬ ful conquest to 128.24 square mile.s, extending from north to sooth not less than twenty nnles, and on an average, seven and one-half from east to west. The Supreme Court handed down a favorable decision a.s to the validity of the law in October, 1889. In 1890, South Englewood, West Roseland, Washington Heights, and Gano, were added to theannexed teri itory. In 1835 Chicago claimed 2.55 sipiare miles. In 1891 she is responsible for the good government of 181.70 stpiare miies, of which 5.14 square miles are covered with water, and 176 56 are in condition to be im¬ proved as ma_v be needed. The city fathers have cut this area up into thirty-four wards, varying in si^e from thre -quarters of a.square mile to twenty-seven sipiare miles. The various annexations inerea.sed the resident population by 239,607, but as they were all really citizens before, the increase was .simi)ly a legal Action, for, while they lived in the annexed territory, their brains and money had buiit the central city, (ISes Territorid Givirt/i.) Anshe Maariv Cemetery.— This is a small cemetery u.sed by a Jewish congregat on. It is located at North Clark Street and Belmont Avenue, Take Evanston Division of Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail¬ way, or North Clark^Street cable line. Apartment Houses,—Within the past ten years the efforts made to induce people of moderate means to live in apartments and abandon boarding-houses and hotels, in which a large propordon of the population had theretofore resided, has met with a marked degree of success The Arst proposition of the kind met with great opposiiion, the majority of people being unable to distinguish between an apartment house and a tenement house. The prejudice was overcome in a great clegree by tiie fact that the Arst buildings erected were of an expen-ive character, and the rents of the " Aa's," as they are commonly called, placed at a Agure within the means of the wealthy alone. When people were found willing to pay for a suite of rooms the rent usually demanded for a Arst-c ass re.sidence, a demand was created for similar accommodations at cheaper rents, and several hundreds of these buildings are now distributed over the ciiy, and others are con- st.antly being erected. Apartment houses in the city, as a rule are divided into two suites on each Aoor, consisting of a parlor or drawing- room, dining-room, kitchen, bath¬ room, and from two to four or more sleeping-rooms, most of the sleep¬ ing-rooms being lighted and ventil¬ ated from a shaft running through the house from the basement to the roof. The more expensive "Aats" have a passenger elevator and a door¬ keeper; the others have not. All, how¬ ever, have elevators for coal, wood, ashes, marketing, and similar freight. All have also a private hallway, and the.se two advantages are u.sually accepted as marking the line between a tenement house, where family necessaries are carried up and down stairs and it is necessary to pass through one room to enter another, and an apartment house or "Aat." Many of these houses, even of the more modest class, are Anished in hard¬ wood, and have mirrors, gas-Axtures, APA—ARC 10 electric lights, and mantels of an artistic and even elegant character as fixtures. Stationary wash-tubs are placed either in tlie kitchen or in a laundry in the basement or top floor. The houses where a man servant is not stationed at the door to receive visitors, always have a bell, a letter¬ box, and a name-plate within the vestibule for each apartment. Above these is a speaking-tube, and after ringing the bell and announcing one's name through the tube, the occupant is able to open the door by an electrical device and allow the visitor to enter and pass to the floi t occupied by the person he wishes to see. More expensive apartments have a general reception-room and a man servant to announce the visitor. The rents of these apartments range from $2,000 to $300 per year, dependent on their size, elegance of finish, and the location of the apart¬ ment and the house. Those in the neiffhborhood of the Lake Front are the most expensive. Apollo Club.—A musical organi¬ zation, of which Prof. W. L. Tom- lins, the well-known vocal director, has long been the leading light. The club has its headquarters in Central Music Hall, and gives fre¬ quent concerts, which are considered notable events in the musical world. Architectural Features.— The most untruthful thing that could be said of Chicago would be to charge monotony to its architecture. Ño city in the world, not even New York, presents so wide a variety in design, material, or construction. Perhaps the very diversity has leaned somewhat toward the bizarre. All uniformity of outside appearance is lost in the personality of the builder, who may desire a house modeled up¬ on one in any of the four quarters of the globe. We have the Renaissance, the modem French, the Greek, Roman, Italian, Gothic, Tudor, and not by any means the least, the Chi¬ cago Construction. Our material is granite from New England and Nova Scotia; marble from Vermont, Illi¬ nois, and Wisconsin; bricks from Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana: iri)n from Pennsylvania and Ala¬ bama, and whatever is used any¬ where can be found as a part of this cosmopolitan city. Iron and glass are much used, but the style belonging to Chicago by right, and called the "Chicago Construc¬ tion," is a framework of iron, bolted together and standing upright, with¬ out resting upon the walls at all, but upon a foundation of grout, crossed by bars of railroad iron. The roof rests directly upon this framework, and not upon the sides. The walls are then filled in with ten*a cotta tiles of any desired color and shape. This form of building is used in the high buildings of from fifteen to twenty stories, which will, in time, quadruple Chicago's floor space. Not¬ able examples are the Auditorium, the Rookery, the Chamber of Com¬ merce, the Masonic Temple, the Wo¬ man's Temple, and the Unity Build¬ ing. Many moi e are yet unfinished, or projected. In the business quarter, Marshall Field's wholesale building, the Board of Trade, the Post Office, the Wisconsin Central Rail¬ road station, a d the Rialto Build, ing, all exhibit peculiarities that fit them for their use. It is certain, however, no matter how the build¬ ing appears on the outside, the inside will be particularly adapted to get the utmost service from both the owner's labor and his employés'. In tlie residence quarters, no man builds a house like his neighbor, but to suit his own taste and warns. It is a cus¬ tom, very largely indulged in during the summer time, to gather upon the broad, high steps, with or without 11 ARC—ART porches, but the steps and i he porches are as varied in design and build as the houses themselves. On the North and South sides, witliin siglit of the lake, can be seen the most varied architecture of the homes. On the West Side the boulevards are claim¬ ing more and more attention in this direction. It is impossible to give anything more than a few hints about a subject so varied in feature and infinite in form. One must in¬ deed be very hard to suit who couid not find something to please in the architecture, the construction, or the material of Chicago's buildings. Armour Institute of Tech¬ nology. — 3300 Armour Avenue. Established by the late P. D. Ar¬ mour, and comparing favorably with any of the great eastern schools. Armour mission and Free Dispensary. — Located at Dear¬ born and Thirty-third streets is a very liandsome building of pressed brick, with st'ine copings. The institution has been in operación about five years, and contains a commodious auditorium for church services, sev¬ eral Sunday school class-rooms, ly- ceum, kiinlergarten-rooms, reading- rooms, bath-rooms, etc. Mr. Jo¬ seph Armour left a sum of -money to establish a philanthropic insti¬ tution, and Mr. Philip D. Armour having added largely to it, the piesent mission was erected. Artistic Furniture.—In noth¬ ing, perhaps, is the influence of art so well measured as in the improve¬ ment of designs in furniture. The modern idea is not only to look pretty, but to add to the comfort and rest of those who u.se. Our furniture ware- hotises and salesrooms contain full lines of all designs, from the Gothic to the modern. We have immense buildings on the South and West sides devoted to the exhibition of rich hangings, elegant furniture, and the rarest bric-a-brac. Our supplies are drawn largely from Grand Rap¬ ids, Mich., acknowledged as lead¬ ing the world as a furniture manu¬ facturing point. But we gather from all sources, East or West, and will undertake to import any variety, from any point, whether it be tap¬ estry from Damascus or Farther In¬ dia; rugs from Persia; furs from Rus¬ sia, Siberia, or Alaska; onyi slabs from Mexico; carvings from Ger¬ many, Swiizerlai.d, or France, or anything else from the manufacto¬ ries of our own country. In no city of the Union could a contract for furnishing a house from the cellar to garret be filled so quickly and completely, to the artistic satisfaction of the buyer, as in Chicago. Art Galleries. —Aside from the galleries connected with the Art In¬ stitute, thei-e are no public collections. One or two of the most prominent art dealeis have consideriible space, well lighted and fitted up for the ex¬ hibition of any noted work in which they may have an interest. Every week in each of these stores the public Is invited to inspect a free exhibition of the works of artists in all parts of the world. The home of the art stores of the high¬ est class is in Wabash ave., south of Madison street. Thurber's Art Gallery, 210 Wabash av., is worthy of notice and will repay a visit Art Institute.—The Art Insti¬ tute, located on the Lake Front Park, facing Michigan avenue at Adarns street, is one of the great¬ est attractions of the city. The building is massive, of gray Bed¬ ford limestone, and the sty le of ar¬ chitecture is Italian renaissance. The ownership of the building is vested in the City of Chicago, while the right of use and occupation is ART—ASH 12 vested in the Art Institute. The museum is open to the public free of cliarge on Wednesdays, Satur¬ days, Sundays and all public holi¬ days. The attendance of visitors is very large, over 500,000 per year, and constantly increasing. Among the many fine collections in the splendid galleries that of the Dutch masters from the Demidoff collection is, perhaps, the most noteworthy, including representa¬ tive works by Rembrandt, Van Dyke, Holbein, Valasqueze and other immortals. Thisinstitution is rapidly taking its place in the art world, and is a source of end¬ less delight to the lovers of the beautiful and artistic. It is worthy of days of inspection by any one, for its equal is irot to be found west of New York. The officers of the Institute are Chas. L. Hutchinson, President; Jas. H. Dole, Vice-President; N: H. Carpenter, Secretary; Lyman J. Gage, Treasurer, and William R. A. French, Director. Artistic Silverware.—It is con¬ ceded tliat the United States has no competitor in the world in the pro¬ duction of artistic designs and ele¬ gant workmanship m silver. All Cliicago's prominent jewelers carry large stocks, and will take orders for any original design. While we have no large manufactories as yet, we have firms who will do work as per¬ fectly and promptly as any others in the country, whether East or West. Art Schools.—The principal art school of Chicago is connected with the Art Institute, and located in the Art Institute building. A large number of students, many of whom come from other cities, attend the various classes, and have free access to the galleries and collections of the Institute. Instruction is given in drawing, painting, .sculpture, and architectural designing. Art Stores.—There are a dozen stores in Chicago where an artist can obtain anything he might need in the line of his work, and twice as many who carry smaller and more miscellaneous stocks, but who will always gladly fill orders for their cus¬ tomers. The m(.)st prominent stores are on the South Side, within two or three blocks of the crossing of Aladi- son and Wabash. Not only can materials be obtained here, but also o iginals and copies of paintings, lithographs, and prints of the best work. An hour can easily be whiled away in them. Ashes and Garbage. — Pre¬ sumably ashes and garba,ge are re¬ moved by the carts of the Street Cleaning Department, but they are taken away so irregularly and infre¬ quently at present that they consti¬ tute one of the greatest annoyances to the residents and the visitors of the city. Long rows of unsightly bo.ves and Itarrels filled with ashes and garbage often adorn the curb¬ stones of the finest streets of the city for days at a time, and their con¬ tents, which are at the mercy of every wind that blows, are scattered about the streets and deposited in the eyes and upon the clothes of every i)asser-by. When the carts do not pas.s l egularly, complaint should be made to the Street Cleaning De¬ partment, City Ilall, but this has heretofore been found of little avail. No vegetable or animal refuse ought, under any circumstances, to he mi.xed with the ashes. Garbage should always be first dried under the kitchen fire and then burned, a process which is slowly coming into 15 ASH- Asa general use. Ashes should be placed on the walk in a galvanized iron CNlindrical vessel and should be taken away by the public caits in the early hours of the inorning, and the empty vessels removed from the sidewalk before the hour of 7 a. m. AVhen this reform will be accom¬ plished, however, remains an un¬ answerable query. For the public dispo.sal of large quantifie s of gar¬ bage unmixed with ashes, a number of properly ada))ted and suitably located crematories appears to be the best means at present t.iat could be adopted for the city. There is a most serious otqectiou to permitting the garbage of a great city to be re¬ moved to any place where it may be used to feed atdmals de.signed for human food, because investigations by .sanitary scienti.sts demonstrate thiit animals so fed become unfit for domestic use. If not consumed in some manner it may breed disease. Ashland Block.—The new Ash¬ land Block, which is located on the northeast corner of Clark and Randolph street.s, is one of the most imposing structures in the city. It is sixteen stories in height and the top of the cornice is 200 feet from the sidewalk. The building is of steel construction and fire-proofed with tile and brick. The walls are of red pressed brick with terra-cotta trimmings. The ex¬ terior style of architecture is Re¬ naissance, while the general style is in accordance with modern Chicago office buildings. The main entrance is on Clark Street and is in the form of a semi-circular arch with an elab¬ orate Roman effect. There are seven elevators. The first three floors are designed for large business establishments, while the other floors will be used for offices. The entire cost of this splendid building is $650,000. Ashland Club.—A West Side social organization, located at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Wood Street; one of the leading clubs of the city, both in member¬ ship and accommodations. The club house is very large, with all modern conveniences, dance hall, bowling alleys, billiard room, etc. No intoxicating liquors are sold on the premises. The membership numbers about 400. Assets of the City.—It will be observed by the following statement, ba.sed upon the most accurate data, that the corporation of Chicago is solvent, in fact, in a flourishing con¬ dition: Cash Value. AVater Works ■ $.30,000,0 0 Sewers 11,000,000 School Property 11,000,000 Police Property 844,000 Fire Property 2,500 000 Public Library 232,000 Street Lamps. 730,000 Electric Light Property. 2,000,000 Real Estate 1,000 000 Buildings.. 2,000,000 House of Correction 1,000,000 Total $82,326,000 Liabilities—Bonded debt 13,554,400 Making a total net value of city property $68,780,600 A.ssessed valuation of real and personal property $219,354,386.00 Total amount of levy for city purposes.. 4,397,087.36 Revenue for licenses 3,000,000.00 Total annua] income of the city from taxes, water, licen¬ ses, fees, and other items $25,000,000.00 Associated Press.—It was in 1849 when the leading daily papers ASS—ASY 14 of New York City discovered that there was more money in the coop¬ erative collection of some classes of news than in the chance of an occa¬ sional "scoop." As dollars were worth more then than now, it added to their income to be able to obtain, for six or seven papers, matter that cost only one price, or divided the expense by seven. When the league liad grown strong, the scope of the gathering was increased to cover all news. From the first, no new mem¬ ber could be admitted to the combi¬ nation without unanimous consent. As a new-comer could never obtain this, the Associated Press has been denounced again and again in news¬ paper columns and on the floor of C'ingress, as an unjust and profitable monopoly. As time went on, the newspapers of various cities formed associations depending upon the par¬ ent association, and governed by the same laws. In Chicago this fran¬ chise was held originally by the TH- bune, Times, Inter-Ocean, Staats Zeit¬ ung, Journal, and Daily News. Some of the other papers have now limited contracts, which permit their receiving the news at a fixed price. The association "swaps," or sells its news to other associations all over this country and Europe. Nothing worthy of telegraph attention can escape its notice, no matter how ob¬ scure the quarter in which it hap¬ pens. It has successfully resisted all attempts at competition in the gathering and distribution of news. It has passed into a proverb, that no journal can succeed outside the pale of the Associated Press. The anom¬ aly of its existence is, that it has no capital stock; is not a corporation, in the usual sense of the word. It takes a cool $350,000 to buy a membership, so that its total good-will can be named at about a couple of millions. The Association has its office in the Western Union Telegraph Company's buildings, Broadway, comer of Dey Street. The telegraph company grants it special contracts in the use of its wires. There is also a National Press Association using the wires of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company, at 145 Broad¬ way, with offices in Chicago. Asylums and Benevolent In¬ stitutions. — Chicago has never been niggardly in its charities. 1 he voluntary subscriptions to charity and charitable institutions in this city annually, is estimated at over three million dollars. This does not, however, include hospitals, nor re¬ formatory institutions. American Educational and Aid Association.—This is better known as the Children's Home Society of Chicago. The churches in this city all have local boards. These are in constant communication, through the Superintendent of the Association, with a thousand other local boards throughout the country. A needy or homeless child is reported at once to the executive, and, if necessary, is received in the temporary homes at Englewood or Aurora, and remains there until some home needing a child can be found, to which the waif is transferred. Voluntary con¬ tributions cover the whole expense. The cost per child, of assisting in the work of making a good citizen, is less than $50. Nearly two thou¬ sand children have found thus good homes during the last eight years. They are now averaging a child per day. The office is located at 230 La Salle Street. Armour Mission. — This grand charity is due to the bequest of $100,- 000 from the late Joseph F. Armour. It was established in November, 1886, at the corner of Butterfield and Thirty-third streets. It can be reached by State Street cable cars. Philip D. Armour was designated by his 15 AST—AST brother as trustee of this fund, and he has given it the same energetic management ■which has so prospered his own business. Whatever was needed to make it a success in every respect, he has added from his own resources. The present institution represents $1,000,000. The Armour Mission is a legal corporation, which owns not only the Mission itself, but 194 flats, called the Armour Mission Flats. The income from the renting is devoted to the maintenance of the Mission. The last addition to this institute is a manual training- school. Race, creed, nor any other distinction are not a bar to admission int ) the Mission. It is a part of Mr. Armour's creed that as the "twig is trained so is the tree inclined," He expresses the utmost satisfaction at tlie outcome of this work, so pe¬ culiarly his own. The Mission build¬ ing is constructed solidly and thor¬ oughly of pressed brick and brown stone. The woodwork is of polished oak. A creche, or day nursery, is fitted up on the first floor, which con¬ tains also the kitchen, day-room, kin¬ dergarten-room, reading-room, dis¬ pensary rooms, of which there are four, coal and furnace cellar, bath¬ rooms, and closets. The second floor has the main audience-room, pastor's study, officer's room, library, spa¬ cious halls, and two large side rooms, used for Sunday-school purposes or for small gatherings. The third floor is taken up by a large, handsomely fitted lecture-room. The main audi¬ ence-room, with its adjuncts, will accommodate about 2,500 persons. There is a large pipe-organ here, and every accessory from stained-glass windows to admirable, acoustic prop¬ erties combine to make this the most beautiful room of its kind in the city. The school has enrolled 2,000 members, with an average attend¬ ance of over 1,400, an increase over last year of about ^0., Hothing has been left uiuione that could conduce to the success of the enterprise. This includes the publishing of a monthly paper, called the Visitor, used for gratuitous distribution. Bethany Home. — Founded to care for old persons and the chil¬ dren of working-women. Can he reached by Madison Street cable. It is on West Monroe Street, No. 1029. Bureau op Justice.—Located at 149 La Salle Street. It was started in 1888. Its design is to secuie justice for the helpless, man, woman, or child. It is supported by the con¬ tributions of the best business men of Chicago. It employs leading legal ta ent, and has accomplished much ill defense of the unprotected In 1890, it had in court 3"25 cases, of these it won 300. 1 his amply demon¬ strates the necessiti for an institu¬ tion of this kind. It is a most effi¬ cient instrument for the recovery of small wage claims, withheld under vaiious knavish excuses, and a jiro- portion of one case lost to thirteen won, speaks most highly of the jus¬ tice of the claims urged. Chicaoc Children's Hospital. —This is designed as a charitable mission for infirm or crippled chil¬ dren of poor and destitute parents. It is supported by voluntary sub¬ scription. Its location is 214 Hum¬ boldt Boulevard. Chicago Daily News Fresh Air Fund.—Even Chicago's busy journal¬ ists find time to do much for their unfortunate fellows. The beneficent work under the cliarge of the Chicago Daily News Fund is one that meets with much deserved favor from all classes of our citizens, from the laboring man who freely gives his dime, to the millionaire who donates his hundreds. In 1889 a great step was taken in the erection of a perma¬ nent sanitarium for the special benefit of infants and young children, at AsY-AS Y IR Lincoln Park,-wliicli can be reached I >7 the Clark or Wells Street cables. The design of the building was intended for solidity and endurance, no money w ,is spent on ornamentation or elaboration, every point conduces to the main feature, use. The building is wholly over the water, standing on a 1 irge floor, supported by piling ninety feet wdde and extending into the lake 200 feet. The great roof, an 1 its projecting eaves covers almost eighteen thousand sijuarefeet. Over all this space, swing infants' ham¬ mocks, they being the chief bene¬ ficiaries of this charity. Broad v. r- andiis and an extensive court opening to the air and lake, supply accom¬ modations for older children and the attendants or mothers. All the necessary offices are at the shore end. From a large reception-room, the guests jiass to the office of the physi¬ cian in-charge, for examination, and such medical attention as may be needed. They are then registered, and the matron assigns them to trained nurses who see they have the neces.sary floor space, hammocks, chairs, food, etc. The room of ths matron communicates with both the office and the surgeon's quarters. Critical cases that sometimes must be kept over night, find in the matron's room a suitali e dormitory. This group of rooms are all on the ri.ght of the entrance. On the left we find the kitchen, pantries, .store-rooms, and north of these are bath-rooms and closets. The connection with the park is by a broad bridge, with an easy slope for the baby carriages. Older children can find plenty of amusement in the park, while their younger brothers and sisters are drinking in the life-giving breezes of Lake Michigan. The total cost of the building and furnishing was over twelve thousand dollars, for which the Daily Hews made itself respon¬ sible, until such time as the generous citizens of Chitaigo, should transfer the burden upon their own shoulders. The South Side Sanitarium is, at the pre.sent, a summer resort for the babies, located at the foot of Twenty-second Street. A huge pa¬ vilion tent, 51x84 feet, covers the hammocks in which the little ones swing, and fill themselves with the 1 racing oxygen of the blue expanse of waters A kindergarten is also carried on to relieve the mother.s from the care of the second or third size of children they can not leave at home alone. In connection with these ex¬ pressions of thoughtfulne.ss for the poor we always have with us. there is still another branch of summer work known as "The Country Week," in which co-operative human •sympathy is made available to permit tiie toiling poor, the children first, to enjoy a few days in the couniry during the heated term. In this movement are combined the con- tribtitions of our own citizens ; the reductions of railroad fares, and the generous hospitality of the "country cousins," in Indiana, Illinoi-s, and Wisconsin. This charity gives over a thousand persons, a chance yearly, to e.scape the horrors of the " heated term " in the slums. It has also often happened that children going into the country thus, have been adopted, into homes of plenty and health. For all this bountiful work the Daily Hews stands sponsor, and receives contributions from any generous hand at 123 Fifth Avenue. CnicAGO Fkee Kindeegaeten Association is doing an immense work in this city. Twenty-three hundred and twenty-seven children were enrolled in 18ÍJÜ. Counting all items of cost, the expense per child is about $5.00 a year. YT)ung latlies interested in the work have received diplomas aud certificates to the num. her of sixty-nine. The active staff of workers numbers 101. The effort ÎT ASY-ASTí of the Association is to bring the work¬ ers and the mothers together for the best training of the ciiildren. The paper issued by the Association, the Free Ktinlerqarien, isi rapidly in¬ creasing its circulation. It is a quar¬ terly, and contains a record of the work constantly going on. This is a proof of increasing interest. Chicago Nursery and Hauf Or" phan Asylum.—Situated on Burling Street, south of (Jenter Street. 'J'he money pas.sing through the hands of its managers annually, reaches a total of about $¿0,000. Chicago Orphan Asylum.—The Cottage drove Avenue cable line wiil carry you to 223d Micliigau Avenue, the location of this most deserving institution. While under Protestant management, it never inquires con¬ cerning the religious j)references, of those needing its help. Chicago Policlinic —Either line of the North Side cable, will take you into the neighborhood of 174 and 176 Chicago Avenue. There is n ) insti¬ tution of greater merit in the city. Ä.11 sorts of diseases are treated free of charge to the sufferers. At the first, intended simply as a means of succor to the destitute, a sort of mis.sion, it has developed into a clinical college where post-graduate courses in medi¬ cine and surgery are obtainable. The buildings now have accommo¬ dations for two hundred. The Faculty not only donate their services but pay their own bills for material u.sed in their practice. The attend¬ ance on the clinics will average 150 daily. The latest addition is a de¬ partment of Orthopedics. About twenty of Chicago's most distin- gui.shcd physicians are on the roster of the FacuJ.ty. Chicago Relief and Aid Socie TY.—This exists by special charier of the legislature of 1857. It occu¬ pies its own building on LaSalle a Street, between Lake and Randolph. It received a large portion of the surplus of tue world's contribution, wh( n the fire of 1871 had swept over the city. It has been often criticised for its methods, whether justly or not is not for us to say. From its reports, one would infer that the most crying waste is among the abject poor. It handles in its work j early about $40,000. Church Home for Aged Per¬ sons.—Number 4337 Ellis Avenue. Can bo reached by Cottage Grove Avenue cable line. This institution is in a flourishing condition and doing a good work. Convalescents' Home.—Just or¬ ganized with an admirable manage¬ ment. Will undoubtedly make it¬ self heard from, in the future. Danish Lutheran Orphan's Home —Situated in Jdaiilewood on the Wisconsin Division of the North¬ western Railroad. Erring Woman's Refuge—On Indiana Avenue, between Fiftieth and Fifty-first Streets. It can be reached by Inditina Avenue car on the Wabash Avenue cable line. This in.stitution dates back to 1865. But it was not until 1890 that the pre.sent building, which cost $60,000 and will accommodate 100 women. Wits opened to the public. The ground cost $11,000. It is built of red brick and limestone, with all necessary conveniences and appurte¬ nances. The third and fourth floors are devoted to dormitories and bath¬ rooms. On the fourth floor are two lock-ups lined with corrugated iron. This is an improvement on the nnder- ground dungeon, for a refractory in¬ mate would he.sitate before flinging herself from the fourth story out of spite. This is considered one of the best managed institutions in the city. From 14 to 20 is the usual limit of the ages of the inmates and as a ASY—ASY IS rule tiiey are of the ignorant, hard¬ working class, to whom lile has always been a harsh task-master. They come to the Refuge by various routes, a great many from the justice courts, although there is no law on the statute books, which authorizes either commitment or reception by the Refuge. If they de.siro, a writ of habeas corpus will at any time re¬ lease them. The aim of the manage¬ ment is to restore them to themselves and to teach them house-work, plain sewing, and dress-making, the appeal •being made to their moral and re¬ ligious natures. From 10 a. m., to 4 p. m. daily are visiting hours. Foundling's Home. — Situated on "Wood Street, corner Ogden Place, Madison Street cable line. Dr. Ship- man, stirred to the deptlja of his sympathetic nature by hia profes¬ sional experience, and by the report of the coroner, "that at least one infant a day was found dead from exposure ; " in 1870. opened his home for the reception of the little waifs, in no way desiring or expecting it to become a public charity ; but the pa¬ pers spoke of it as a charge belong¬ ing to the ocean of life surging about us. From the first, the Doctor and his good wife, believing that God had promised to be a father to the fatherless, trusted their needs and wants in His hands. Little by little, under the most remarkable exhi¬ bitions of faith answered, the sup¬ plies have come. One development after another has unfolded, until the present well-appointed building, hold¬ ing ll2 inmates, is the result. The Home still depends on voluntary con¬ tributions ; but it is so widely known that the fears of starvation and freez¬ ing no longer oppress it. Some of the brightest minds in the West have been saved to the country by its agency. During the daily visiting hours, visitors are most cordially welcome. German Old People's Home. — Altenheim is in Harlem, ten miles west of the Gourt House, can be reached by the Wisconsin Central Railroad. This is the pet charity of the best German peop e in the city of Chicago. It is most, ample and convenient in all its arrangements, and is most admirably managed. The grounds are beautifully laid out, and nothing is omitted which can possi¬ bly m.ake the lives of the elders com¬ mitted to its charge as pleasant as possible. Good Samaritan Society.—The Industrial Home of this Society can be reached by a Lincoln Avenue car, at 151 Lincoln Avenue. It operates under a special charier. Its design is to provide a place where worthy but destitute, women and girls can earn an honest and respectable living, until such time as they can be pro¬ vided for elsewhere. They are sup¬ plied with money necessary to pay car fare, but nothing more. It de¬ pends upon the contributions of the benevolent for its support. Its motto is to help those who will help them¬ selves. Guardian Angel Orphan Asy¬ lum.— A German institution, under the management of the Roman Catho¬ lic " Poor -Handmaids of Jesus Christ," situated at Rosehill. Hebrew Charity Associ.vtion.— Notwithstanding the slanders of their maligners, no people are more just or charitable than the Hebrews. Their ostentation in giving may be less ; but it accomplishes all that could possibly be done. This is par¬ ticularly the case in this city, where all their brigades of charity work are massed into one division, each helping all, and all each. The re¬ ceipts of the last Hebrew Charity Ball, given in Chicago under the auspioes of this Association, were $13,000. 19 ASY-A8Y Hoi,t Family Orphan Asylum. —A Catholic home on Division Street, corner of Holt. Home for Incurables.—Cottage Grove Avenue cable line to Ellis Ave¬ nue, corner Fifty-sixth Street. Mrs. Clarissa C. Peck filled her life full of noble deeds and in her will left $500,- 000 for the founding of this institu¬ tion which is for her an enduring monument, living in the hearts and lives of those whom it benefits and blesses. A Board of Trustees from some of our most active and honor¬ able business men have carried the work on to its present completeness. For six years, in which interest ac¬ cumulated, the {«Jtion of the Trustees was delayed. The buildings and grounds cost $107,000 and there was left $600,000, the income from which is more than suflicient to meet all running expenses and to increase the building fund, tobe ready when ad¬ ditional facilities for its work shall be needed. The full capacity is 125. It started with thirty-three inmates from a similar Home at Lake View, which was then closed. It is theo- sophical in its invitation to the suf¬ fering, receiving them without dis¬ tinction of race, creed, or color. When possible the friends are asked to pay a monthly stipend, but from the d. stitute nothing is asked. A candidate for admission must be in¬ curably affiicted with some disease of which the Trustees are final referees. The ailments most frequent are par¬ alysis and rheumatism, tlie majority of the former. If not able to walk, invalid chairs are provided, by which tliey can change place and position at will, in their own rooms or through the long corridors and wide verandas, where bright glimpses of sunshine upon the green lawn and gay parterres of bright flowers, bring momentary surcease of pain to weak¬ ened limbs and dimmed eyes. Visit¬ ors are always welcome at the visit¬ ing hours. Home for Self-Supfortinö Women.—An Indiana Street car will take you to 275 and 277 Indiana. Street, a home for women or girls who are willing to work, whether employed or not. It throws its pro tecting arm about those who other¬ wise would be all alone. Home for Unemployed Girls. —Market, corner Elm, North Side, reached by North Market Street car. Under the management of the Roman Catholic "Franciscan Sisters." It takes care of girls who may tem¬ porarily be out of employment. It is very generously supported. Home fob Working Women.— Reached by North Clark Street cable, at 189 East Huron Street. It is managed by an association of women and men, who know from experience the need of such homes. The design is to give wage women a chance for a comfortable resting place, at a cheap rate, and whole¬ some cleanliness, and if she should be thrown out of work, by sickness, would not feel that she was likely to be thrown into the street. From the first of July to January, 1891, 327 enjoyed the benefits or the Home. It is the intention of the managers to make it not an institution but a gen¬ uine home in the best and truest sense. Home for the Friendless.— Vincennes Avenue, corner of Fifty- first street. Chartered in 1858. Takes care of 200 inmates on an average. From a weak and humble beginning, it has grown and pros¬ pered until its income, including the Crerar bequest, is now $21,000 per annum. During the last ten years, an army numbering 20,167 of women and children has continuously filed through its welcome portals. It is theosophical in its work, as it makes ASY—ASY 20 no distinction of race, creed, or color. The only question is whether the ap plicant is needy, and for the time be¬ ing needing a friend's help. It matters not whether they are deserted wives and mothers, or al)andoned cliildren; assistance, material and moral, is freely tendered, including rest, good food, encouragement, syir.pathy, and advice for the future. During its life it lias found permanent homes for 7dl: children "legally surren¬ dered " to tlie Home by tlieir parents. Any woman but a drunken one can find .shelter here temporarily, if she has no money to pay for her lodging elsewhere. The Ilumane ¡Society sends mo.st of their waifs here, when found abandoned by their jjarents. If under nine months, a child is not received. Visitors between the hours of 10 a. m. and noon, and 1 and 4 p. m., are always welcome. Home op D:dustry.—A Van Buren ¡átreet car will take yon nearly to 234 and 2 6 Honore Street, where Michael Dunn, a reformed criminal, who had spent the best thirty years of his life in penal institutions all over the world, holds out a helping hand to those tempted as he was tempted. He was born and reared an English criminal. He com¬ menced his prison life when seven years old on conviction for petty lar¬ ceny. At thirty he had been in prison a half dozen times and in sev¬ eral of the Engli.sh penal settlements. Finally he was sent to America to get rid of him. He continued his criminal careers here, until about ten years since, when, having reformed himself, he attempted to better the class he had left. H is life has stamped its impress upon his face, but those who are working with him to enable ' ' prison birds " to change their plumage have not the least question of his complete and thorough refor¬ mation. It was Dunn's idea to pro- Vide homes for discharged criminals, so that lire pre.ssure of hunger or cold should not drag them back into the old ways. He has established ref¬ uges in New York, ISaii Francisco, Chicago, and Detroit. The average time for which they stay in the Home is about two weeks. In connection with the Home a broom factory is run, so that each ma}' do what he can toward .'•elf-siipport. The in¬ come from this soui'ce does not cover running expen.scs, and therefore it must depend largely upon charity. The rules are necessarily quite strict aud rigidly enforced. From the records kept, drink is the cau.se, in most cases, of their downfall. Many who enter the Home go out reformed and renewed, and continue to be use¬ ful members of society. Home op Providence.—Calumet Avenue, corner Twenty-sixth Street. Can be reached by Cottage Grove Avenue cable. Intended to care for and protect young women. Man¬ aged by the Sisters of Mercy, whose hospital adjoins. Home op the Aged.—Very few of the business men of Chicago have not received a visit from a couple of " Little Sisterk of the Poor," solicit¬ ing alms of any amount, no matter how small, for the Home of the Aged, which they are thus able to maintain at the corner of Harrison and Throop Streets. The structure is a plain, commodious building of brick. It is always full of inmates, in age ranging from sixty to 100 years. The sisters in a.sking alms, simply state who they are. If de¬ nied, they merely go away and come again some other day. They are never out of humor, but always grateful for whatever is bestowed. House op the Good Shepherd.— Under the management of the Sis¬ ters of the Good Shepherd. It is a haven and house of refuge for fallen women who desire to lay hold again 31 A&Y—ASY upon a pure life. It is i'ar-reacliiiig in its usefulness. Margaret Etta Creche Kinder¬ garten.—Wiiba.sh Avenue cable to 3350 Wabash Avenue. Mothers who are obliged to W'U'k for a living leave their children hero to be caiecl for by this broadest of all the city's charities. The average expense of taking care of a child here is about $5.00 per year. Beside the nursery a kindergarten is carried on. It de- P' nds upon the charitably inclined for its maintenance. M.vsonic Orphans' Home.—Car¬ roll Avenue, corner Sheldon, looks after thirty children and is sup¬ ported by voluntary contributions from city and State. Newsboys' and Bootblacks' Home.—At the present this is lo¬ cated at 1418 Wabash Avenue, and can be reached by the Wabash Ave¬ nue cable. This charity is now over twenty-one years old. It began as the Chicago Industrial School. It was not lung, however, before it as¬ sumed its present purpose and name. It was the very first organized etfort to aid the helpless children of this city. It is intended to provide a comfortable Christian home for newsboj'Sj bootblacks, and other homeless, unprotected boys, and, if possible, to tind them homes in the country, or employment in the city. The doors of the Home are never closed to anyone rei(Ui sting shelter or fo(jd; but to cultivate'indei)en- denee and foster self help fifteen cents is tin; price of breakfast, sup¬ per and lodging. This the boys call pa3'ing their "banner." Provision is made by which destitute boys may earn immediate living expenses by selling the Ni'/nxhoi/n' Appeal, a small paper published in the intere.sts of the home, or else they are loaned funds to buy a small stock of d .ily papers. The Home is by no means self suirporting, still no appeal is made outside for ch-uity. Previous to the fire, a lot on Quiney Street was given to ,tho Home, upon which a small building was erected. After the fire, by funds from the Belief and Aid Society, a building of brick was built. Some j'ears later th's and the lot was .sold to Marshall Field et Co., for commercial purposes, for $50,000. \ hen the Board of Directors can find a suitabhi location within their me.ins they jrropose to use this fund in building a suitable home. This sum is now on interest, and the Home is supnorted by the invest¬ ment in charity of our business men, who are satisfied with the security of "lie who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord." The 1 iws of the Instituti' n are few and easily understood, and intended simply to promote the well-being of the boys. It is the design of the m uiagement to take a wise, kindly, personal interest in every one of the thousand or more boys who are sheltered there every year. An accurate record is made of every boy who comes to the institution. These path tic records are full of the effects of the grasping greed of sel¬ fishness. Ma J of these boys have parents, or legal gu rdians living, Init they h ve either turned the bo3's îidrift, or abused them to the utmost limit of human endur.ince, until they have cut adrift for theiu.selvt.-s. Four evenings in the week there is a night school in session fiom7:30to 9:00, which the boys are retiuired to attend, and if deemed best, means for other instruction is arranged for. The chief aim of the Home is to bridge over the chasm between ab¬ solute destitution a d some kind of permanent employment, and thus prevent the boys from becoming criminals. The directors communi¬ cate constantly with the Humane ASY—ASY 23 Sofiety and other like oriranizations, and thus know a good deal about homeless boys. This is the only place in the city where a boy can go and clean up and be sure of getting a clean shirt. Partly worn garments are always acceptable. A second¬ hand shirt is always preferable to a new one, for if it is new the boys are likely to realize on it, for they con¬ sider a fellow a " Jude " who wears anything that can be sold for cash. The matron has done much to help the boys to become workers in the world in steady positions, and she says it is a fact that when once a boy has felt the pleasure of independent self-support, as a rule, he never re¬ curs to street life from choice. Old People's Home.—Indiana Avenue on Wabash Avenue cable to Thirty-ninth Street. About tliirty years ago a hard-working seamstress had saved a little money and bought a home on Third Avenue. She found herself rapidly drifting into the contingent of "old maids." Kindly of heart, as are all of her guild, she conceived the design of starting some home that might lighten the suffering and worry she saw and felt on every hand. Having advised with her pastor, her first effort was a small frame house near her own, where a few indigent old ladies could be cared for. In a short time the public began to take an interest in " Samantha Smith's Charity." Then their quarters be¬ came cramped, and Jtliss Smiih ded¬ icated her own home and its entire furnishings to the use of the institu¬ tion, which was transferred bodily, at once, to the new quarters. Miss Smith was matron for quite a num¬ ber of year.-i, and then retired. Then the Home was removed to Indiana Avenue, near Twenty-sixth Street. After the great fire the Relief and Aid Society donated fSO.Oi O. This was used as the beginning of a home at their present location, which has been improved and enlarged to its present condition. The help from the Relief and Aid Society was given on condition that the name be changed to " Old People's Home," thereby opening its privileges to old men as well as old ladies. The Re¬ lief and Aid Society hold twenty rooms for their protégés. Old men are not admitted, and when arrange¬ ments are made for them it will be in a separate building, where there can be a chance for outdoor work. The John Crerár will added $51,000 to the funds of this institution. Sixty-eight inmates occupy the building. The rooms of the Relief and Aid Society being free, are al¬ ways full. Anyone else, after a rigid examination, a probation of six mouths, and an entrance fee of $300, may become an inmate. If, after probation, they are deemed unsuit¬ able, they are charged $3 per week, or $78, and the balance, $332, is re¬ turned. The candidate must be at least forty-five years of age and with no visible means of support. If children are living who can support her, she is not eligible. The office of matron is by no means a sinecure. A noteworthy fact is that the young¬ est matron in the city has charge of the oldest people. Pioneer Aid and Support Asso¬ ciation.—This is an association for the support of the families of the anarchists who were hung or sent to the penitentiary for instigating the Haymarket riot. School for Deaf and Dumb.— Situated at 409 May Street, on West Side. Managed by the nuns of the Holy Heart of Mary, and maintained by the Ephpheta Society. It is con¬ ducted by a board of lady direct¬ resses, who have given much time and attention to the work. Pour experi¬ enced teachers take care of fifty deaf mutes. 23 ASY--AST Servite Sisters' Industrial Home for Girls.—^Vaa Bureu Street car or Madison Street cable to 1396 Van Buren Street. This Home aims to protect and train girls ■who have no homes, or whose homes may be unsuitable. Controlled by the Servite Sisters of Mary. Soldiers' Home Fund.—^his Is a balance of |70,000 left from the ^eat Sanitary Fair which monopo¬ lized, during its existence, Chicago, and the whole country soon after the War of the Rebellion began. A rest, or home, was then established with the money raised, where North¬ western troops moving to the front could be fed and hous^ if necessary. The sick and wounded, dragging their we Éiy bodies homeward, could also find here rest, medicine, and re¬ freshment. For this work an old hotel at No. 75 Randolph Street, sufficed. The association was incorporated and the ground where the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum now stands was at first acquired. The city was canvassed by ladies for $1 subscrip¬ tions, and a big amount was raised that way. One lady, Mrs. Bristol, canvassed not only all the North Side, but extended her quest into a number of the suburban ■villages. After a while the Thirty-fifth Street property was sold, a block of land bought in South Evanston, and a house built with part of the proceeds. Some of the balance was loaned on North Side property, and the remainder went into a mortgage on a State Street block in the neighbor¬ hood of Archer Avenue. Both of these mortgages were foreclosed, and the association is yet the owner of the State Street property. The North Side real estate was closed out advantageously, and the money received was put out at interest. After the Government established Soldiers' Homes there was no further need foe a private institu¬ tion of the same kind. So the prop¬ erty has been converted and arrayed to serve as a relief fund, 'rhi» fund has not decreased, neither has- it increased, because the entire incre-- ment has been used to help those! worthy of relief. It costs the fund $100 a year for the services of a clerk and a room to make the dis¬ bursements in. They pay monthly to sixty or seventy-five pensioners about $300. Mrs. Bristol is still the disbursing officer, and at the rooms of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society fladdens her dientde on the last aturday ef each month to the amount of from $2 to $10 each, the maximum limit. St. Joseph's Asylum for Boys.— On Crawford Avenue, between Bel¬ mont Avenue and Diversey Street. Reached by Milwaukee Avenue cable. St. Joseph's Home.—A 12th St. or Blue Island Ave. cable will carry you to 409 May Street, on the West Side, the location of this institution. Its principal object is to afford the protection of a home to respectable young girls out of employment, until such time as they can secure positions in offices. The terms for board vary with location of room, from $2 to $5 per week. Quite a number of young ladies employed down town have private rooms in the Home, prefer¬ ring the restful quiet offered here to more stirring quarters elsewhere. The building is conveniently and comfortably arranged for over 200 persons. It is self-supporting. St. Joseph's Ouphan Asylum.— Maintained by the Sisters of St. Joseph, at the corner of Lake Avenue and Thirty-fifth Street. Can be reached by Wabash Avenue cable. St. Joseph's Pro^videncb Orphan Asylum.—Located at Pennock, a suburban station on the Chicago, Mil- ASr—AUG waukee & St. Paul Railway, runniug out of Uniou depot, on the \Vest Side. A little rise in a prairie farm of forty acres is u.sed as a site for a building capable of holding, without crowd¬ ing, 180 boys. '1 iie house is steani- heated, ami furnished with all the appointments nece.s.sary I o comfort¬ able living and proper training for such a large section of young America. St. Paul's Home for Newsboys. —An in.slitution at 4.3 and 47 Jack¬ son Street. Similar to the News¬ boy's Home, it is intended to care for the b(j,vs of Catholic parents. ■Quite a large number are taken care of here. UiiLicH Evanoelical Lutheran Orphan Asy'lum.—Started in 18(57 by ladies belonging to St. Paul's Church, in a small cottage on La Salle Avenue, corner (Jntario Street. Incorporated in 18C9, its larger building on Clark Street, between Garñeld and IVeb.ster ave¬ nues, was I'euted later on, but this was engulfed in the Great Eire. The orphan inmates were first sheltered at Lake View, and then were boarded at the Chicago Nursery and Half Orphan Asylum, at 175 Burling Street. The ladies had $8,0U0, the Relief and Aid Society put up $20,- 000. Twelve lots were bought at the corner of Burling and Center streets. On these the building now stands. Waifs' Mission.—Undertakes the care of homeless boys at 44 State Street. The management are very active and zealous in their efforts for the homeless ones, but are very much cramped by the smallne.ss of their present quarters. But it is to be presumed that the chiritable heart of Chicago will not long allow so important a charity to languish for want of assistance. Young Ladles' Charity Circle. —Is composed of sixteen young ladies who have organized them¬ selves for tue purpose of independent charity work where it shall .seem to be most needed. They have no stated location. Athletics. — Athletic sjiorts of every kind fiourish and find support and patronage in Chicago;" Several gymnasiums, of which the most noted are tlie Ahetna;um and the A". M. C. A., afford opportunities for muscular development, while the athletic clubs of all varieties are al¬ most innumerable. There are about 400 organized base-ball clubs in Chi¬ cago, seven or, eight boat clubs, and several prominent cricket organiza¬ tions. Cycling is a most popular amuse¬ ment, and nearly 2, tlOO wheelmen are enrolled among the different bicycle clubs of the city. There are a large imndier of hunting and fishing clubs, nearly all possessing tracts of land near the city limits. Yennis finds many devotees, and several e.x- cellont courts are largely patronized during the summer. In the "winier there are frecpient exhibitions of box¬ ing and wrestling, numerousfoot-ball games, and a great variety of out¬ door sports, which the mild climate renders possible. Many athletes keep in training at hand-ball courts, while the club men and their friends find sport and exer¬ cise in " in-door ball." The recently organized Chicago Athletic Association, which occupies a magnificent building on Michigan Avenue, has a membership of 1,5U0, and bids fair to become the most powerful athletic society in the coun¬ try. Auctions.—The number of peo¬ ple "«'ho, like Mrs. Toodles, have a passion for attending auctions in search of " bargains," is very large, and hence, although mock-auctions 25 AUG—AUD have been, suppressed, in a great some extent. Indeed, if one attend pieasuve, there arc' still many ingen- a legitimate sale, held by responsible ions swindles perpetrated under the' auctioneers, hewi.lflud himself but guise of auction sales.

Auditorium.—The magnificent a .short time will invariably serve to building which bears this name, show hirn his mistake. The custom while it is the property of a corpo- of introducing a portion of these ration, consisting of over three articles into a genuine sale by irre- hundred rich and enterprising citi- sponsible auctioneers, also prevails to zens of Chicago, the people, rich AUD—AUD 26 and poor—all classes and all creeds— have a share in this public institution. They glory in its grandeur, and would heur arms in its defense. When pri¬ vate individuals rear temples, over the shrine of which pro bono publico is implied, if not inscribed, they must •Bot complain if the same public re¬ gards the institution as its Own. This building is not alone the common property of Chicago, but it has like¬ wise been appropriated as a political temple by the great parties of the Union. In this grand Auditorium, located as it is in the very keystone of the Union, every State and district building, ten stories, is 145 feet; tower above main building (8 floors), 95 feet ; lantern tower above main (3 floors), 30 feet. Total height, 270 feet ; weight of entire building, 110,- 000 tons. Exterior of building, granite and Bedford stone ; interior, iron, brick, terra cotta, marble, and hard¬ wood finish. There are-17,000,000 brick, 50,000 square feet of Italian marble. Mosaic floors containing 50,- 000,000 pieces of marble, 800,000 square feet of terra cotta, 175,000 square feet of wire lath, 60,000 square feet of plate glass, 35 miles of gas and water pipes, 230 miles of electric wire may meet in the person of their rep¬ resentatives, and make presidents. It is the shrine of music, art, and the drama. It is also large enough, generous enough, and broad enough in its policy to cover any sect or creed, or a convention of all denomi¬ nations, and the voice of its unequaled organ would drown the chants of one and sound the praise of all. There is certainly no other structure in America that equals the Audito¬ rium. It is located on Congress Street, Michigan and Wabash ave¬ nues, having a total street frontage of 710 feet. The height of the main and cables, 10,000 electric lights, 11 dynamos, 13 electric motors for driv¬ ing ventilating apparatus, 4 hydraulic motors for driving machinery, 11 boil¬ ers, 21 pumping engines, 13 elevators, and 26 hydraulic lifts for moving stage platforms. The building cost $3,200,000. Ground was broken Janu¬ ary, 1887, and it was completed Feb¬ ruary, 1890. The building includes : The Auditorium. — Permanent seating capacity over 4,000 ; for con¬ ventions, etc. (for which the stage will be utilized), about 8,000. This department of the building contains the most complete and costly stage 37 AUD-AUS and organ in the world. In this grand theatre, under the able man¬ agement of Mr. Milward Adams, many of the greatest amusement events of the present age have taken place. Within these classic walls, that notable World's Fair produc¬ tion, America, was produced and witnessed by about one million peo¬ ple. Here, in season, is to be found grand opera in its legitimate scope, and also world-famous erchestras. It is also the home of Chicago's greatest annual society event, The ChaHty Ball. Recital Hall seats j 500. "The business portion consists ' of stores and 136 ofHces, part of which are in the tower. Tower Observatory, to which the public are admitted (25 cents for adults, 15 cents for children). United States Signal Service occupies part of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nine¬ teenth floors of the tower. These depannients of the building are managed by the Chicago Auditorium Association. The Auditorium hotel has 400 guest rooms. The grand dininti-room (175 feet long) and the kitchen are on the top floor. The magnificent banquet hall is built of steel, in trusses, spanning 120 feet over the Auditorium. The hotel has been improved and greatly enlarged by a new building which is con¬ nected by a tunnel ; and now, under one management, in this mammoth hotel, will be found both the Amer¬ ican and European plans for enter¬ taining guests. Both features are exemplified in the most complete and elaborate manner. (See Audi¬ torium Hotel. ) The idea of the construction of a great building of this character was first made public before the Com¬ mercial Club, in an address by Fer¬ dinand W. Peck, the originator of the enternrise, 29, 1886. Auditorium Tower.—One of the grandest views from any artificial elevation in the world is to be had right here in Chicago,from the towi r of the great Auditorium building. Thousands have already ascended the eminence and viewed the giand- est of m' dern cities, and yet th^ fact that so fine a view is to be had from the balcony of the upper tower is comparatively unknown, even to people living within the city. A bird's-eye view from this eminence reveals some strange and interest¬ ing things. Michigan Boulevard appears like a long, white tape or thread, with its thousands of vehicles and pedestrians,and Wabash Avenue.with its many trains of cable cars. Lake Michigan and the Lake Park and Basin, are among the chief objects of interest. The sight that meets the eye is indeed a study, and the effect most pleasing, instructive, and entertaining. Neither St.Paul's in London nor St. Peter's in Rome offers so fine a view. On a clear day Michigan and Indiana shores are clearly visible to the naked eye. And last, but not lea't, is the view by night. The myriads of lights of every desciiption all over the city, in every direction as far as the eye and glass can reach, scat¬ tered and in clusters, and in long double rows, threading e ther side of the streets and avenues, are a charm¬ ing and fascinating sight that re¬ minds you of the fables of the Arab¬ ian Nights and Aladdin'sCave. Then add the moonlight, and the enchant¬ ment is complete. The public is admitted to the tower, a small fee being charged for the service. Austin.—A western suburb of Chicago, about seven miles from State Street, with a population of nearly 5,000. A most pleasant vil¬ lage, and a desirable residence dis¬ trict.

Their cilices will be foui d in the Taconia and Hoyal Insurance buildings. A reference to Moran's Map of Chicago, which will be found in the front part of this book, will acquaint the reader with the precise location of Auburn Park. Bakeries.—There are nearly 700 bakeries in the city, several employe ing from 200 to 300 hands each. Many of the larger bakeries have hmch- rooms attached, and cater to a large patronage. Bankers' Club.—Composed of the leading bankers of the city, me'ds riuarterly for the .sole purpose of en¬ joying asocial inteichangeof friend¬ ships. Banking Capital.—The aggre¬ gate capital of the national banks in the city, as per official returns made on February 26, 1891, was $17,046,645, and their surplus fund amounted to $10,272,579. The cap¬ ital stock of the State banks amounted to $9,252,000, and thidr surplus funds to $5,023,123. This does not include private banks and bankers. Bankings Institutions, Na¬ tional.—There are three kinds of banks in Chicago; State, private, and national. The latter are super¬ vised by the Unit d ¡States laws and Government. All piivateand State banks are under the laws of tlie State. '1 he national banks report to the State Auditor. The State and private banks report to noltody. The capi¬ tal of the Chicago national banks at the clo.se of 18it() was $16,100,000. This, added to the $8,352,01)0 in the State banks and the $1,148.000 in private banks, makes tlie banking capital $25.(>02,000. The report of the Comptroller of the Currency for 1890 shows that Chicago is gaining swiftly on the Eastern cities in the struggle f'lr leadership as ti money center. Chicago handles i ow seven per cent, of all the checks and d afts in the country. New Yoi'k still is ahead, but it is only a neck. lüinois ranks as second of the 8tates in the amount of drafts made, and New York fourth, Jla-ssaidiusetts being first. There are twenty-four na¬ tional banks now doing business in this city. The New York Fiiiaririir, review¬ ing Chicago's finanidal business at the clo.se of lS90,said : " The bank¬ ers of the country think New York's banking business is large, and that the iiercentage of increase of depos¬ its during the iieriod mentioned (the six years preceding this statement) is. or ought to be, larger than else- BAN-BAN where, hut this is a mistake so far as the vercenta' e of increase is concerned, for Chica,go bea's New - Y->rk by over Vl'i) per cent, on New York's increase. This is a remarkat)ie difference, and means tluit Chicago's commerce, so far as bank deposits show it, is growing twice and one-fourth as fast as New York's. Everybody knows that Chi¬ cago is one ot tliu phenomena of the country, ao fai" as its development is concerned, but few are aware of the remavkat)le speed shown by the flguiesof our tellers. Even Boston's growth of banking during tlie si.\ years mentioned is far outstripped by Chicago. It does look as if the " Hub " was going West. Chicago's percentage of increase e.xceeds Bo.s- ton's by 30 i)er cent, upon Boston's figures, in spite of the big manufac- tories in New England. Phdadel- phia, too, whose population is now slightly exceeded by Chicago, is away in the rear in the percentage of increase, as Chicago's figures exceed Philadelphia's by 44 per cent. On the deposits of its national banks for 1800, Chicago increased its business during the pa.st six vears 46 percent., or $:)0,153,348 upon $108,178,165 de¬ posits. New York increa.sed during the same period about 20 per cent., or neariy S89,000,000 on $431,000,- 000 deposits. Boston incroa.sed about 36i>^ per oent.. or .$49,800,000 on nearlv $137.000,000 deposits. Pliiladelplda increased about 82 per cent.,<.r about $80,5vX),0(X) on $98,- 600,000 deposits. Banking Panics.—Chicago has been visited by several banking panics, causing wild excitement and much financial scandal. These flur¬ ries are now things of the past. By consolidation and reorganization the banks of Chicago have been put upon a firm and lasting basis. There is not a weak or untrustworthy bank- ng institution now doing business in the city, and the condition of the local banks compares favorably with those of New York or Philadelphia. The most trying times for the Chi¬ cago banking business came in iSgy, when several banks, supposedly sound and strong, closed their doors, the depositors losing almost every¬ thing. It was found that wildcat speculation had had much todo with these collapses, and the confidence of the business world in Chicago securities was seriously shaken. Without delay, the state's attorney's office of Cook county set to work to ferret out the responsibility for the series of defalcations. Several men who had stood high in Chicago moneyed circles were tried, con¬ victed and sent to the penitentiary. The law dealt with the defaulters with great sternness, and It is now be ieved that the example thus made will never have to be repeated. Ever since the doors of Joliet opened to receive the defaulting bankers, Chicago banks have been run on a fcomroon-sense basis, and the nation at large is today as firmly assured of the safety of Chicago banking insti¬ tutions as of the oldest in New York. Consolidation has been the rule of recent years in Chicago banking cir¬ cles, and, while several new and strong banks have been started, sev¬ eral others have merged their forces and are now combined in united in¬ stitutions which have no superiors in the nation. A few banks were swept out of existence by panics and defalcations, but those now listed in Chicago are on a solid basis and amply fortified against financial troubles. The following are the names and capital stock of Chicago's banks: NATIONAL. America National, 184 La Salle. Bankers, 204 Dearborn, capital $1,000,000.

Kesoueces op Chicago State Banks.—The last report of the State Auditor regarding the State banks, showed that their condition so far as their resources were concerned, indi cated a total of |55,091,940. 31 BAN—BÄK First National Bank, was in¬ corporated in 1863, with a capital of flOO.OOO. Its first corps of offi¬ cers were: E. Aiken, president; E. E. Braisted, cashier; on the death of Mr. Aiken, in 1867, Samuel M. Nick- erson was elected President, a posi¬ tion he held till 1891, and was then succeeded by Lyman J. Gage. In 1868, Lyman J. Gage was appointed cashier. For many years past he this bank's enormous business. The bank went through tlie panic ordeal of 1873 with flying colors, increasing the public confidence in the strength and stability of its resources, and in the wisdom and honesty of its management. In 1882 the charter of the bank expired. It then went into liquidation, paying for each $100 of its slock $294. This without taking into account the dividends paid upon Fibst National Bank, Dearborn and Monroe Streets, has been vice-president. The build¬ ing occuiffed by the bank stood at the southwest corner of State and Washington streets, before the Great Fire of 1871, but was engulfed in that "ocean of flame." The build¬ ing was immediately rebuilt, and the bank occupied it until it was able to control for itself its present elegant and commodious structure, which was designed and built especially f"r thei'apid and accurate trausactiuu of its stock from time to time, which always averaged ten per cent, per annum. In the place of the old bank, a new First National Bank obtained charter number 2,670. This succeeded to the business of the old bank. It has a paid-up capital of $3,000,000. Mr. Gage is presi¬ dent and Mr. R. J, Street, cashier. Not only is the First National Bank the soundest and largest bank in Chicago, but it is ahead of all other BAN—BAP 32 financial institutions in the United States. Its present otiicers are Ly¬ man J. Gatte, president; J. B. For- gaii, vice-president; K. J. Street, cashier; Hilmes Höge, assistant cashier.

Ever since ifc organization the Chicago National Bank has taken high rank as one of the leading financial institutions of the country. Baptist Churches.—The mem¬ bership of the Baptist denomination in Chicago numbers about 10,000. The fodowing are the names and lo¬ cations of the churches: Central Church, corner Halsted Street and Beiden Avenue. First Cliurch, South Park Avenue, corner Thirty-first Street. Second Churcli, corner Morgan and West Monroe streets. Fourth Church, corner West Mon¬ roe Street and Ashland Avenue. Immanuel Church, Michigan Ave¬ nue, near Twenty third Street.

Baptist Hospital.—The Baptist Hospital Association, recently incor¬ porated with a capital slock of $1,- 3 000,000, will establish and maintain a hospital in Chicago. Bar Associatioa.—A society of members of the Chicago bar, the ob¬ jects of which include the elevation of the profe.ssion, the preservation of a dignified and upright judiciary, high morality in practice, and the promotion of all needed legal reforms. Baseball.—The level ground, and large number of vacant lots, renders Chicago particularly the paradise of the baseball player. AA/ithin the city limits there are now six enclosed ball parks, the National League, at Polk and Lincoln streets, the American League, at Went worth avenue and 39th street, and four belong to strong semi-professional teams. These games are largely patronized, and draw audiences of the best people in the city. James A. Hart is presi¬ dent of the National League club, and Thos. Loftus manager. Chas. Comiskey is president of the Ameri¬ can League club, Clarke Griffith manager. Headquarters for both organizations are in the Fisher build¬ ing, and Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League, also has an office in the Fisher. Attendance at each of the two parks will average about 2,000 on week days, 5,000 on Saturdays, and as high as from 12,- 000 to 22,000 on Sundays. Much rivalry exists between the competing leagues, and no love is lost between the National and American managers. Baths (Public.)—Altlioiigh pub¬ lic baths have for years been "a long felt want," hut little progress has as yet been made toward their eslahllshment in Chicago. Tliere are ttvo " natatoriums," one on AVest Madison Street, and the other on North Clark Street, and the ov/ners receive a large income from the nat¬ ural desire of young men for swim- BAT—BEG 84 ming as an athletic exercise. As the use of soap is not permitted in these establishments, tliey can hardly be classified as " baths," and do not fill the nee0,000, and an annual pixiduct of $1,4(X),(X)0. There are 600 persons employed in the malt-houses. During the same year the imported ale, beer, and porter, in value reached the sum of $60,829. The beer saloons of tlie city number at the present time (1891) 5,782, and are to be found on nearly every square and business street. The revenue derived by the city for Ç ran t i n g 1 icenses to t hese 1 iquor houses for tlve year 1890, aggregated the resixxitable sum of $8,072,729.08. Large quantities are sold in »11 the public gardens and music halle, on all the excursion boats and at the Fcsoris in the vicinity. The uniform price is five cents a glass. It is de livered in botllesat private residí nces for about 75 cents a dozen, the bottles to be returned, and a deposit made uixm them by strangers. Imported beer costs about double the above price- In the spring the new beer is sold, and is called "bock beer." Its advent is announced by the appear¬ ance in the windows of the saloons of a pictorial representation of a bucking goat. Lagei'-bier means storage-beer, and is presumably brewed in the fall and kept until spring in cold vaults, the first taken out being called " bock," possibly because it is very "heady." This is the old theory, but in this age, beer, like every other commodity, is made to order in the shortest ] ossible time. The beer you drink to-day may have been Lake Michigan water and malt until a very recent date. Certainly it is brewed with neatness and dispatch by what is frequently termed the Great Chicago Beer Trust. 'BeggtiTtt.—Chicago is no excep¬ tion to the rule that the streets of every large city are more or less in¬ fested with beggars. They abound principally in public places and often select the streets through which persons must pass in going to and returning from places of amusement or public resort, in which to ply their trade. Unfortunately, they are too frequently rewarded by considerable gains for their clever insight into human nature, since men, and par¬ ticularly young men, prefer bestow¬ ing a trifle upam them to enduring their importunities when in company 35 BEG—BIO with a lady. The impostership of street beggars is the one rule to which there has been as yet no ex¬ ception. If you have a desire to relieve the distress of any worthy ebject, by inquiring of any clergy¬ man, or of the Overseer of the Out¬ door Poor, 33 West Washington Street, near Canal, you -may find plenty of opportunities, but in the streets you will find only profes¬ sional and shameless beggars who levy ad mlorem dues on personal weakness. To give to them is worse than foolish, since by so doing you encourage them in their assaults upon others. When appealed to in the streets, a short, sharp " No ! " will usually suflBce to rid you of your beggar; but if he persists, threaten to hand him over to the first police officer, and he will leave you at once. To remarks from shabbily dressed men like, " Excuse me, sir, but I—" or, " May I speak to you a moment, sir?" reply "No" decisively, and before they get any further, as this is the prelude to some tale as touch¬ ing as it is untrue. Householders should positively forbid their ser¬ vants to allow any beggar inside the basement doors under any pretext whatever, as they are very often the "pals"of thieves, and while they may not steal themselves, they quickly inventory the place and gauge the strength and fastenings to the doors and windows for the in¬ formation of thieves. The great number and wide scope of the char¬ ities of Chicago (see Benevolent Soci¬ eties and Imtitutiom) leave no excuse for mendicancy, and it is the duty of every police officer to arrest any per¬ son found begging in the streets. Bennett Free Dispensary is under the management of Bennett Medical College. Bennett Hospital, 511 State Street, is run in connection with Bennett College. Beth Hamedrash Cemetery. —Located at Oakwoods, Sixty-sev¬ enth Street and Cottage Grove Ave¬ nue.

The level streets, the as¬ phalt bsulevards, and the pleasant roads of the suburbs, offer unequaled facilities to the wheelman, and the cycling population is continually in- creasing. The Chicago bicycle clubs are social as well as athletic organi¬ zations, with handsome club houses and every tacility for enjoyment in winter as well as in summer. Of these clubs, the best known and largest are: Chicago Cycling Club, corner of Lake Avenue and Fifty-seventh Street. Cook County Wheelmen, No. 218 Leavitt Street. Douglas Cycling Club, No. 586 West Taylor Street. Illinois Cycling Club, 1068 Wash¬ ington Boulevard. .iEolus Cycling Club, Milwaukee Avenue. Lake View Cycling Club, Lake View. Lincoln Cycling Club, 235 La Salle Avenue. Oak Park Cycling Club, Oak Park. Pizen Cycling Club. Washington Cycling Club, 650 West Adams Street. Many ladies of Chicago are devo¬ tees of the wheel, and on pleasant days the boulevards are alive with their trim figures and their speedy "safeties."

At each other to organic trade during the present day it is amusing to read the preceding eight years, the incipi- wiih what simplicity the Board of ent organization dating hi 1848. A Trade was callra in special meeting Board op Trade, Jackson, head op T.aSat,t.e Street. meeting was called March 13,1856, to protest against the removal of the oflScers elected, by-laws adopted, and toll collector's office to another place a room rented at $110 per year, and on the canal, on grounds of conserv- it was resolved to hold daily meet- ing the prosperity of Chicago. In ings. For some time considerable April, 1850, that Board terminated 3S BOA—BOA its unchartered existence, the mem¬ bers re-organizing under the general SI atutes of Blinois on the 8th of Febru¬ ary, 1849. Thus arose the present Board of Trade, of which Charles Walker was the first president. At its organization the annual dues were fixed at $3. From that period to 1856, the Board of Trade was frequently in session, discussing public measures, applauding elo¬ quent harangues, ridiculing strange ideas, and interchanging all the blunt, frank, and hearty offices of western good-fellowship. But this body of men could not overcome the habit of feeling that the time spent on '"Change" was in dero¬ gation of the stern exactions of real business, a fact demonstrated in a manner rather ludicrous, by pro¬ viding, after ample and .convincing discussion of the expediency of thé measure, for a daily entertainment of ale, cheese, crackers, etc., to be spread by the secretary, as an induce¬ ment of attendance. This was first adopted in 1853, and worked very favorably. It was thought safe after a while to discontinue a practice which exposed the Board to some badinage, but experience quickly proved that the refreshments could not yet be spared, and in 1855 the hospitality of the Board was revived with great popularity—too great, indeed, as persons not members par¬ ticipated in such numbers that aa official was constituted to keep the door against bibulous and hungry visitors. But ere long the Board began to develop a clear sense of its impor¬ tant position, and with the year 1856 its permanent organship of system¬ atic trade may be dated. The in¬ fluence of the Board, however, from the respectability of its membership and the magnitude of the business represented, had long been salutary. The Canadian Keciprocity Treaty of 1855 was in a great degree shaped by its counsels; the substitution of weiglit, denominated by bushels, for measuring tiulkof grain; the adoption of a rigid and just system for the grad¬ uation of qualities of lumber, grain, and other produce, and for the inspec¬ tion of these and other merchantable articles, are among the principal fruits of their earlier usefulness. But in a greater or less degree many matters of • public interest were forwarded by the agitation, discussion, and resolu¬ tion of the Board. Of such interest are the bridge wharves, harbor dredg¬ ing, lighthouse, improvements of the Illinois River navigation, and espe¬ cially navigation of the St. Lawrence and the lakes. At one time — and very early—an attempt was made to supply the felt want of bank facilities, by a great bank with a capital of $5,000,000, which was advocated at that time with considerable zeal. The boldness of this project in 1853, when the aggregated commerce of the port was hut $30,000,000, is one of the most striking events of that time at Chicago. The eighth annual meeting of the Board of Trade was held at the Tremont House on the 7th of April, 1856. This meeting disclosed self- sufficient interest, and thence forward the institution was an assured one. Forty-fi ve new members were elect ed. Before the end of the year member¬ ships had largely increased, and a suitable building was projected for a merchants' exchange. Daily meetings were held, and an offer of a building site on the corner of Clark and Wash¬ ington streets, at $180,000, was promptly accepted. From some cause, probably a subsequent sense of extravagance, this engagement was not consummated, and the Board found, and was long content to occupy, satisfactory quarters on the corner of South Water and La Salle streets at $1,000 per annum. Until 1856 this body was a mere embryo, for a Board of Trade that can be in- BOA—BOA 40 duced to assemble, after often-tried experience, only by crackers, ale, etc., can not'be personified otherwise than as a child in utero. One railroad had been partially complete and was open far enough to prove what railroading could do when the Board first organ¬ ized as a legal body corporate in 1850. This road was at once the earliest and •the only exclusively local railroad en¬ terprise ever set on foot by Chicago. By the time the Board acquired a self-sufficient footing (18.56), Chicago, in early but demonstrable prosiwct, was the gr. atest railroad ceuter of the West. Yet it is a fact, that until that prospect had become au actual realiza¬ tion there was not so much as aserious recognition of the great builder of the city. For all shown by the records of the Board of Trade previ¬ ous to the time (1859), whan the body accepted the invitation of Missouri- ans to attend the festivities of the opening of the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, one might infer that there had never been such a thing connected with Chicago. With some prudent and sensible refla¬ tions of detail, such as equalizing charges for handling goods, substi¬ tuting weight for bulk in reckoning grain in bushels, etc., the minds of members seem to have alternated amongst ill-defined and illusory plans for supplementing St. Law¬ rence navigation, and for dredging, clearing obstructions, etc., from the Illinois River for steamboats. For the sake of the harbor there was a good deal of petitioning of Congress, the Legislature, and the City Coun¬ cil, of appointing inexpert commit¬ tees to sound the mud, and measure the sand bars, but the receipt of cat¬ tle and hogs had become three times, and those of grain twelve times, as great in 1856 as they had been in 1850, before the Board seems to have suspected the railroads of having been the means of bringing them. While from Boston to Baltimore the feeling was quickening for intimate passenger and commercial connec¬ tion across the mountains and over vast spaces, and line upon line actu¬ ally oijencd, the Board seems to have fsit steam aavigation to and from St. Louis as a paramount object, send¬ ing committees thither from time to time, attending conventions at Pe¬ oria, and occupying its sessions at home with prolonged discussions, conducted in the main by experi¬ enced Fourth-of-July orators, candi¬ dates for otiice, or known visionaries. When the commeroiai crish of 1857 came, the Board lia.'l an opportunity to di-stinguish itself by the wisdom of its councils, but inspiration seems to have been re.served for tlie tw.o greater occasions of four and four¬ teen years later. Tiiere is small record and less memory of any note¬ worthy relief it was able to afford. In a word, the pnniup.il u.se of the Chicago Board of Trade, ahnost up to the Rebellion, was to develop the present body, and it is enough that its mission was well performed. The first salaried officer appears to have been a superintendent, at$l,5"0 per year, who should look after the interests of the Board. Tliis was in 1857, since which date the daily meetings have always been well at¬ tended. The initiation fee was $5. DaUy telegraphic reports of the Eastern markets were received and actual trading commenced. In 1859, arrangements were made for quarters on South Water Street, to which the Board removed the next year, con¬ tinuing to occupy them till the erec¬ tion, on the corner of Washington and La Salle streets, of the buildings destroyed by fire, on the site of the magnificent structure which was erected after the fire, and which was subsequently pulled down to make room for the present celebrated Chamber of Commerce Building Il BOA-BOA (which see). In April, 1860, tlie twelfth annual meeting disclosed 633 names. The most noTable event of the Board this year was its earnest, prompt, and for the time, effectual remonstrance against the abrogation of tlie Canadian Reciprocity Treaty. In April, 1861, the membership was 733. The report of the Chief In¬ spector of Grain was elabórale and lucid, reviewing tlie preceding year, during which there had been shipped 1,603,930 barrels of flour; 15,835,- 053 bushels of wheat; 34,373,735 bushels of corn; 1,633,337 bu.shcls of oats; 393,813 bushels of rye; 236,534 bushels of barley; a grand total, reducing flour to its equiv¬ alent of bushels of wheat, of 50,481,863 bushels of grain. The packing season, ending with that year, there had been packed 34,634 cattle and 371.805 hogs; total, 306,439. The season beginning in that year (1861), 53,7.63 cattle packed; 505,691 hogs; total, 559,454. So vast were the figures of a trade which, considered as large, was hardly ten years old. But they have since mul¬ tiplied many fold. The patriotism of the Board was fully tested during the war; and among other things, $10,000 was appropriated for a mil¬ itary organization, which was known as the Board of Trade Battery. To even outline the history of the Chicago Board of Trade from that time would fill volumes, and there is only space here to indicate what it is to-day. The Chicago Board is now a world-renowned commercial organization. It exer¬ cises a wider and a more potential in¬ fluence over the welfare of mankind than any other institution of its kind in existence, tor it practically regu¬ lates the traffic in breadstuffs the world over. Its transactions are of far more importance to humanity in general than" are those of the Ex¬ change of London, the Bourse of Paris, or the Stock Exchange of New York. The volume of business transacted on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade annually is amazing; the fortunes made and lost within its walls every year, astonish the world. The membership of the Board of Trade is now about 3.000, nearly all young men full of the genuine Chicago spirit. The magnificent building now occupied and owned by the Board of Trade is located at tlie south end of La Salle Street, in the square bounded by .Jackson and Sherman streets, and Pacitic Avenue. The structure is of granite, 175 feet wide and 335 feet deep. The main hall is 144 feet wide, and 161 feet deep ; height of ceiling 80 feet ; tower 333 feet to the top of the ship and 337 feet from the ground to the lookout balcony. The largest clock in the United States is located in that splendid tower. This structure, which is an ornament to the city, was commenced in 1883, and completed in 1885 at a cost of $1,800,- 000. A visitors' gallery is provided for ladies and gentlemen, and a special gallery for ladies who have no escort. The members of the Boai d will obtain tickets for their gentlemen friends or correspondents, giving them the entrie to the trading floor, providing they reside out of the city. The members can he reached through an official who is stationed outside of the south door of the trading floor, access to which is had by the elevator at that end of the building. The prices of corn, wheat, pork, etc., are given by three dials which are placed on the south gallery. These indi¬ cators are moved by electricity and are entirely under the control of the official reporters. The clearings of the Board of Trade for the year 1889 reached the enormous amount of $55.463,080.75; for the year 1890, $86,617,157.35, or in other words, an increase of more than $31,000,000- BOA—BOO 42 ovöf the pixvj-ediug year. At this rate, who will predict the amount of speculation on tlie floor of thk now famous Board ten year* hence ? Boatinjv. — The usually placid waters of I*ke Michigan oîïer great advantages for boating, and several prominent and popular boat clubs are located along the shore. Of these clubs, the best known are the Cat- lins, Chicago Canoe Club, Tippeca- noes, Chicago Yacht Club, Evans- ton Boat Club, Delawares. Iroquois, Quintards. Social Athletics, Farra- guts, Ogdens, Pullm,ans, and Lin¬ coln Park Yacht Club. Boating in the pai'ks is also a popular amuse¬ ment, while fatal accidents are very infrequent. The annual event in boating cir¬ cles is the " Chicago Navy Re¬ gatta," a aeries of races for all classes of boats, held off the shore of Lin¬ coln Park. Bogus Lots. — There are over 2,000 lots in Cook County feet front by 40 feet deep, with a 2-foot alley and a 5-foot street. In addi¬ tion to their diminutive size, they lie under water about twenty-three miles from the court-house, aud six miles from any railroad, in section 19, town 37, range 18, a locality where drainage can never be successfully accomplished. This lot swindle was perpetrated by one Scott and his accessories, under name of ' ' The Boulevard Addition to Chicago." This is the only downright swindle of the kind known in Chicago for years. No doubt other dealers have flattered themselves that they were cheating their customers badly by shoving remote aud unpromising lots upon them, but so rapid has been the development of the city and its surroundings, by new railroads and otherwise, that the buyers of bad bargains have, by holding on, come out gainers, in spite of their own stupidity. Books of Reference. — The number of books about Chicago giv¬ ing information and location are legion. The City Directory, pub- lislied by the Directory Publishing Company, and two business directo¬ ries by two large publishing houses, may be taken as the standard author¬ ity on this line. Besides these are three or four "élite" directories which contain the names and ad¬ dresses of the "swell" people, used for sending out invitations, and simi¬ lar purposes. All respectable drug stores keep a copy of the City Di¬ rectory for free consultation by those who desire. There are two or three "medical registers." To these must be added a host of lesser guides and descriptions of the city, more or less compactly put together for the con¬ venience of the sajourner in this mighty city. We have also a " Postal Guide," published by the post office, containing the arrival and departure of the mails, and post-office regulations, etc. In addition to these, reliable and accurate maps of the city and county are for sale in all the book stores. Book Stores.—The book stores of Chicago are quite numerous, and derive an immense revenue from a large literary population. All the new and noted books of every author are sure to find a ready market in Chi¬ cago, and a number of mammoth book stores has become a necessity. A. C. McClurg's great store, on Wabash Avenue, is the greatest book emporium in the city. Brentano's,on Wabash Avenue,and the Western News Company, on Randolph Street, are the head¬ quarters for periodical literature, while Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co. supply school books to a vast section of country. 48 BOO—BRI Boot-blacks.—Chicago street boot-blacks are as a rule au exceed¬ ingly noisy and importunate class. Formerly the native gamin took kindly to the busine.ss, but of late years he has begun to retire slowly before the invading hosts of Italian youth. A male stranger will do well to have his boots polishetl before starting out on a walk, if ho does not wish to be constantly greeted with a loud and imperative, " Hey, sliine ! " at every corner. The boys' ordinary charge for a "shine" is five cents, but if any one of them is asked atxnit the price after the iob is done, the demand is very apt to be twice as much. Hence never ask, but always take it for granted that five cents is the rigid sum to give. Boot-blacks, generally colored, are to be found in all hotels and barber shops, but these invariably expect not less than ten cents. Bou,levards.—The system of l)oulevards under control of the sev¬ eral boards ox Park Commissioners, contempla*^"? a continuous driveway rection.—This is practicaily a prison for the incarceration and punishment of those who vioiate the city ordi¬ nances, and for offenders who do not deserve a term in the penitentiary. It i.i located in the soutiiwest portion of the city, or to be exact, a' South California Avenue, near West Twenty- tiiird Street. Take Blue Island Avenue cars. Chicago has no par¬ ticular reason to be proud of this prison, nothwithstanding the fact that it cost to date about $1,500,000. It is managed by a superintendent, who is appointed by the Mayor. Of late years, the arrival of prisoners per year will average 9,000, of whom seven-eighths are male. The prisoners do about $60,000 worth of work per year, and the chief industries of the place are a huge laundry and brick making. The county prisoners are also sent here. For this service the city receives thirty cents per capita, daily. The superintendent has suc¬ ceeded in securing 1,300 volumes, the voluntary contribution of the citizens, as a nucleus of a library for the benefit and instruction of the inmates. The younger inmates of both sexes, during their stay, also receive a daily course of instruction from a competent teacher. These new features of prison life at this institution are calculated to improve the mental and moral condition of the inmates, and thus, so far as circumstances will permit, making the institution in deed as weU as name, a House of Correction. Bridges.—There are nearly fifty bridges across the Chicago River, nearly all of which open to permit of navigation. Several of these bridges are worthy of notice, especially those at Adams, Lake, Wells, Rush, Madison, and Jackson streets. Although these bridges can be turned very rapidly, great com¬ plaint is made of the delay caused to street travel and traffic by their opening, and their abolition is con¬ templated, in which case river navi¬ gation will be by means of barges. Bucket Shops is a term ap¬ plied to places outside the Stock Ex¬ change and Board of Trade, where stock gambling is carried on in a smal 1 way, by the aid ot the quotations furnished by the instruments of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company. This is gambling pure and simple, since not a share of stock changes hands, a formality carefully pre¬ served in the regular exchanges, although it is generally understood to be simply an ingenious way of "whipping H. S. M. around the stump. " A large blackboard is erected on one wall of the bucket shop, and on this board are displayed figures of the latest quotations of all the princi¬ pal stocks and provisions. Two young men are constantly engaged in changing these figures in obedience to the mandates of a third, who sits at the instrument and announces the fluctuations. On a row of benches and chairs in front of the board sitsa crowd of men and boys, watching with all the gambler's eagerness the changing quotations. At an office at the end of the room stock privi¬ leges are sold, as small a sum as $5 being accepted. When a stock rises or falls in price enough to wipe out the margin paid, the account is closed. On the other hand the speculator presents his privilege and collects his money and profit, less a small percentage for brokerage. The hab¬ itues of these rooms are broken-down slock brokers and speculators, and young men and boys. Many once wealthy men, ruined by stock gam¬ bling, may be seen, seedily dressed, hurrying about these piaces, unable to resist the fascination of the street, and many boys are lured on to ruin 45 BÜC-ßUI by venturing their employere' money. At one time there were a great many of these places in the city, but by a concerted action on the part of the Board of Trade and the recently en¬ acted law, most of them have been driven out of the business. Buildings Department, City Hall.—The Commissioner of Build¬ ings is a feed oflBce. The commis¬ sioner is nominated by the Mayor and confirmed by the Board of Aldermen. The department supervises the erec¬ tion of new buildings and additions to old structures, within the city limits. All plans for buildings must be filed with and approved by the Building Department before a per. mk is granted. It also inspects the condition of buildings with reference to their safety, and has the power to order torn down or repaired all dan¬ gerous buildings, and to see that prop¬ er means of escape from builcÛ^s, in case of fire, are provided. The extent and character of the work done in the city, under the authority and supervision of this department during the past year, is in excess of any like period in the history of Chicago. From 1876 to 1889 there were erected in the city 37,043 build¬ ings, covering a frontage of 173 miles, costing $176,460,779, being an aver¬ age of 3,087 buildings per year for twelve years, an average of fourteen and one-third miles of frontage and an average cost of $14,705,065. The least number of buildings ereci^ in any one year was in 1878, with a frontage of about six miles. The least expenditure was in 1879. The largest transaction for the same period was in 1888. Number of buildings, 4,958; twenty-two miles frontage; expenditure, $30,360,800. During the year 1889, the number of structures erected was 7.590, cover¬ ing over tliirty-four miles of street frontage and costing $31,516,000. During that year many noted build¬ ings were erected and completed, among the latter the great Audito¬ rium, and also forty-one churches. The imposing public and private structures built, range from six to twenty stories in height and cover extensive ground area. Building during 1890 showed a still greater increase. The totals revealed the issuance of 11,544 permits for 263,- 377 feet or about 50.1 miles of front¬ age, at a cost of $47,332,100. This showed an increase over 1889 of 52 per cent, in the number of permits, 45 per cent.in the amount of frontage covered, and 19 per cent, in the cost of buildings. Total number of build¬ ings erected from 1876 to January 1, 1891, 56,240; total cost, $255,298,- 879; total frontage, 256 miles. These figures do not represent the buildings that escaped the fire in 1871 or the buildings erected from that period to 1876, and it represents only those buildings erected in the annexed por. tiens of the city, since the date of annexation, which is a very small, percentage of the whole. It is im¬ possible at this, time to give the fig¬ ures for 1891, but they will greatly exceed those of any similar period in the history of the city. The fees of the Building Department will now reach about $40,000 per year; expen¬ ditures about $35,006. Building Permits.—Chicago is now settling down, so to speak, in its building operations, and the mush¬ room growths of former days have been succeeded by more substantial work, even if not so speedy. During 1898, 4,067 building permits were issued for buildings costing $21,- 288,325, while in 1892, the year be¬ fore the world's fair, there were 13,- 194 permits for buildings costing $64,740,800 Since 1898 building operations have been badly ham¬ pered by the great strikes of the BUI—^AT 46 building trades unions, and but few permits were issued in comparison with former years. These troubles have been largely settled and all in¬ dications point to a new impetus in Chicago building operations, which usually follow the lines of the far- reaching trolley cars, ramifying like network north, south and west. Burr Mission.—This institution is located at the corner of Twenty- third Street and Wentworth Avenue. It has for its object the religious and secular education of the poor. Business Colleges.—There are several first-class businass colleges in Chicago, and an e.xcellent commer¬ cial education can be obtained at comparatively little expense. The most prominent among the business colleges are: Bryant & Steatton's Business College, Wabash Avenue and Congress street. This is one of the leading commercial schools of the country, and has nearly 1,000 . students. Chicago Business College, 45 Randolph Street; about 3u0 pupils. A thorough and conscientious school of business tr.iining. Chicago Athenaeum, popularly called " The People's College," is lo¬ cated in the splendid building at 18 to 36 Van Buren Street. With a flrst- class curriculum, the Athenajum is de.stined to become one of the most noted educational institutions of the nation. About 800 students are usually in attendance. Metropolitan Business Col¬ lege, corner Michigan Avenue and Monroe Street, with 500 pupils, ranks very high as a commercial school. SouDEit's Business College, 276 West Madison Street; aflrst-cla,ss institution with about 100 students. Calumet Club owns the build¬ ing they occupy, which is on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Twentieth Street. Here is a wealthy club, whose membership includes prominent men of all careers, but mostly business men. The main dining hall has a capacity for seating 300 guests at, table at one time; besides, there are three private dining rooms, which can be thrown into one grand salon, if occasion required. Calvary Cemetery.—The bu¬ rial place for .the dead of Catholic faith, contains some hundred acres of beautiful ground on the Lake Shore, north of tlie city about ten miles, and is reached by the Chi¬ cago & North-Western Railway. The grounds are beautifully improved. There are many very haudsom e monu¬ ments denoting the re.sting place of former residents of Chicago, and the plats of ground surrounding them are kept in a high state of cultiva¬ tion. There is a large green-house in connection with the cemetery. This burying-ground was consecrated in 1861. The interments have ex¬ ceeded 25,000. Trains leave the Wells Street depot daily for the cemetery. Canadian Club is composed of Canadians and their descendants, and such as they may elect. Carleton Club.—Located at the corner of Thirty-eighth Street and Yincennes Avenue, in a hand.some and capacious building. The Carle- ton is a very popular club, its dances, indoor ball games, and dramatic en¬ tertainments being social eve. ts of much note and merit. Cathedral of the Holy Name. —This, one of the most substantially built of all the Roman Catholic churches iu Chicago, is located on 47 CAT—CHA the corner of Superior and North State streets. It is built of stone after tlie plan best suited to such structures ; planned for tlie needs of a live, earnest-working congregation. It has l)een recently renovated, and its interior re-decorated with all those adjuncts to harmonious thought, and pious contemplation, for which this denomination is famous all over the world. There is at present no church interior in the city which is so soul- inspiring to the devout wor.shipcr, or that suggests so forcibly to the seeker the glories of the heavenly home he desires, as the Cathedral of the Holy Name. Caxton is a twelve-story build¬ ing at 356 r>earborn Street. The lot on which it stands has a frontage of eighty feet on Dearborn Street, and a depth,of sixty-seven, running back to Fourth Avenue. It is owned by George B. Harris, of Salem, Mass., and leased for ninety-nine years by Mr. Bryan Lathrop and Mr. W. C. Reynolds, who jointly put up the building. This is of steel construc¬ tion vviih brick walls. On the front are two tiers of bay windows, each equi-distant from the north and south ends of the building. The building, which was completed in May, 1890, cost about $325,000. Cemeteries.—The cemeteries of Chicago will compare favorably with tho.se of any of the older cities. There are many attractive views in these quiet Cities of the Silent, and there is much in the way of .sculpture. The early places, say up to 1843, have been abandoned, and the deposits all removed to the newer and present grounds provided by the several cemetery associations of the city. The cemeteries are mentioned under their proper names, which see. They are : Anshe Maariv Cemetery. Austro-Hungarian Cemetery. Beth Hamedrash Cemetery, B'nai Abraham Cemetery. B'nai Shilom Cemeterj-. Calvary Cemetery. Cemetery of the Congregation of the North Side. Chebra Gemilath Chasadino Ubi- kar Cholim Cemetery. Chebra Kadisha Ubikar Cholim Cemeteiy. Concordia Cemetery. Forest Home Cemetery.

Take train at Grand Central depot via Chicatro & North¬ ern Pacific Railroad. Trains leave at 13 01 p. M., daily including Sun¬ days. Central Homeopathic Free Dispensary provides medical at¬ tendance free to the poor. Chamber of Commerce Building.—The thirteen-story high Chamber of Commerce Building on La Salle and Washington streets was completed in 1891. Its total cost was rhood CHA—CHI 48 of 12,000,000. The building is notable for its magnificent interior court, reaching from the main floor to the skylight. Around the court are the galleries upon which the offices open. The interior is finished in marble and iron work of orna¬ mental design. Nine passenger and freight elevators are provided and kept constantly busy with the thou¬ sand or more tenants. Brick, stone of a light color, iron, and steel were used in the construction of this magnificent structure. The site is historical as that of the old Chamber of Commerce Building, so long occupied by the Board of Trade. It is immediately opposite the City Hall and Court House. This trio of buildings form a massive, grand, and imposing scene that is hard to equal in any city. Channing Club has rooms 135 Wabash Avenue, and has for its object the interests of the Unitari¬ ans Charity Organization Society helps the able-to-work but out-of-employment class to be self- sustaining, and thus in a great meas¬ ure put an end to street begging.

Take train on Evanston division of the Chicago, Milwaukee «& St. Paul Railway, or North Clark Street cable line. ( See Qraceland Cemetery!) Chebra Kadisha Ubikar Cholim Cemetery.—Located on North Clark Street south of Grace- land Cemetery (which see). Take train on Evanston division of Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, or North _Clark Street cable line. Cheltenham Beach.—Is a watering place, twelve miles south, with hotel accommodations, where many spend their time during hot months. Chess Playing.—Chicago can boast no corporal ed chess clubs. That there is a considerable interest in this conflict of skill, is evident from the attention manifested whenever there has been a test of ability by noted players. There has been an effort made from time to time to organize a club, but it has never reached com¬ pletion, perhaps because we have no business men who have leisure enough to give the game the requisite time. There are two or three resorts where there are opportunities to hoth see and play the game. More than this, there are quite a goodly number of skillful lovers of the game in Chicago. Chicago Avenue Church.— With its crescent tower and belfry, is a striking piece of architecture veiy noticeable on the North Side. It is an independent church, and with its gallery and auditorium seats two thousand persons. Chicago Bar Aesociation.- Meets in room 71, County Building. Chicago Bethel. — Is at Ran¬ dolph ana Desplaines streets. Chicago Bible Society.—De¬ rives its main importance from its affiliation with the American and Foreign Bible Society, whose head¬ quarters are in New York City. The Chicago headquarters are at 49 Ada Street, where all correspondence can be addressed. Chicago Club.

North of tised by General Wayne, the ciiiefs this house was an oblong building 51 CHI-CHI wûich had been erected by Father Walker, a missionary of tlie IVIetho- dist church, for a place of worship and for a school-house. This log tabernacle was the meeting-house of the town. The Wentworth tavern was the headquarters of General Scott, when he came to Chicago with the troops for the Black Hawk war in 18íi2. The next building south of the Wentworth House was the residence of James Kenzie. Ne.\t to these were the log cabins in which resided Alexander Robinson, and here occasionally resided Billy Cal- well, whose wife was the wild daughter of an Indian chief, and her presence did not always hallow his wigwam with the sanctity of peace. There were several more primitive houses occupied by members of the Kenzie, Beaubien, and Harmon fam¬ ilies. In the year 1804, the United States erected Fort Dearborn upon the south bank of the river, just east of the present Michigan Avenue. Mr. Kenzie and his son John H., Indian traders, were the only white residents until the war of 1813, when the post was abandoned. The small garrison, in attempting to escape, were captured by the Pottawatomies and massacred at a point now repre¬ sented by Twelfth Street and Mich¬ igan Avenue. In 1816, the fort was rebuilt and the Kenzies re¬ turned, and the fort served for many years as a resting place for emigrants passing to the West. The inhabi¬ tants did not exceed half a dozen families, until, in 1837, Congress made a grant of land to aid in the construc¬ tion of a canal to connect the waters of Lake Michigan with those of the Illinois River. In 1839, the State Legislature appointed a commission to mark out the route of the canal, and a surveyor arrived to mark out the town. Besides the garrison, at that time, there were eight families, engaged mostly as Indian traders, in the place. With a hard and pro¬ tracted struggle by numerous indi¬ viduals, and especially by Daniel P. Cook, Esq., who was at that time representative in Congress, and from whom Cook County was named, an Act was passed by Congress, March 2, 1837, granting to the State for the construction of this work " each alternate section of land five miles in width on each side of the proposed canal." We make mention of these facts because it was from this Act of Congress the State acquired the title to those lands which have formed the basis for many of its most important financial transac¬ tions; from which originated the titles to the valuable canal lands, on which a large portion of the city is built—on which, too, villages, towns, and cities have sprung up all along its line. In the autumn of 1839, commis¬ sioners authorized the laying out of the "Town of Chicago," on the alternate section which belonged to the canal lands lying upon the main channel of the river and over the junction of the two branches. The first map of the original town of Chicago, by James Thompson, bears date August 4, 1830. This was the first beginning of Chicago as a legally recognized place among the towns and cities of the world—the first otflcial act of organization, which must accordingly be dated as its birth or real starting point, and the town was comprised within the limits of what are now known as Madison, State, Kinzie, and Halsted streets, or about three-eighths of a square mile. Hence this city with a population of 1,350,000—the leading mart in the world for grain, pork, and other things—arrived, on the 4th day of August, 1891, at the pre¬ cocious maturity of sixty-one years. In 1831 Cook County was organized, embracing in addition to the present Chicago Riveh, looking West fbom Wells Street Bridge. 53 CHI-CHI county the territory which is now known by five other large and populous counties. The prospec¬ tive work on the canal was at¬ tracting popuiation, hut in 1832 the choiera visited the incipient city and was very severe. In 183i the first public religious worship was held in a log hut erected for that purpose. T pe ta.K-list for 1832 amounted to $143.29. Lake Street was laid out the same year. In 1833 the settle¬ ment had increased enough to have a post office and a weekly mail, and late in the year the Chicago Deino- crat, a weekly paper, was started by John Calhoun. On the 10th of August the voters of Chicago held an election to determine whether they would become incorporated, and to elect trustees. Every man voted and the number of voters w s twenty- eight, some of whom are now living; the levy for city taxes in 1834 was $48.90. In 1834 the number of voters had increased to 111, and a loan of $60 was negotiated for pub¬ lic improvements. In 1835 the num¬ ber of voters had increased to 211. In 1836 the town applied to the Sta*e Bank for a loan of $25,000 and was refused. In 1837 the Legislature in¬ corporated the City of Chicago and in May following, Hon. William B. Ogden was elected Mayor of Chicago. Thus on the first Tuesday in May, 1837, fifty-four years ago, commenced the City of Chicago, which then contained a population of 4,179. At the present time (1891),school census, the population is fuily 1,250,000. This has been the extraordinary growth of this wonderfui city. The natural line of the site of Chi¬ cago was but a few feet above that of the lake, and there was no drain¬ age, and in seasons of rain the sur¬ face was covered with water. In the winter of 1855-6 the city ordered a change of grade, raising the height of the carriage-ways an average of eight feet. This piaced the lower or ground story of each building several feet below the level of the street; but the inconvenience was rapidly over¬ come by raising ail the buildings— brick, stone, and wood—up to the level. All the large buildings, in¬ cluding many hotels, business blocks, warehouses, etc., were raised by means of screws from their founda¬ tions a height of from six to ten feet, and new foundations built under them. This secured deep, dry cel¬ lars and admitted of a thorough sys¬ tem of sewerage. The city ordered an effective dredging of the harbor, and the clay thus obtained served to fill the streets to the new grade. For several years while this process was going on, the passage of Chicago .streets was a work of trying difficulty to pedestrians. The expense was great, but was cheerfully borne by the property-holders. Then com¬ menced the work of permanent im¬ provement in the city and how far they had prpgressed may have been seen before the Great Fire, and is again apparent since her re-building. Certainly no city in the world has so wonderful a record as has Chicago-, and the great conflagration of Octo¬ ber, 1871, which almost entirely obliterated the city—from which but few cities would have recovered in à century—only seemed to demon¬ strate the indomitable energy with which Chicagoans are possessed. Within a period of two years from that time, we find that Chicago was again shining with redoubled splen¬ dor and eclipsing iter palmiest days. Where stood wood and brick, when the city was destroyed, now are reared stately commercial palaces of marble, stone, and iron. Chicago Hospital for Women and Children is at Paulina and West Adams streets. Women and children of the respectable poor CHI-cm 54 receive medical atteution, and nurses are trained. Chicago Literary Club has a suite in the Portland Block, 184 Dearborn Street, and is composed of some of the most distinguished liter¬ ary gentlemen in the country. The club has an audiiorium in which such matters as may be interesting, are discussed. The club gives an annual entertainment at one of the theatres, and an anniversary banquet, usually at one of the principal hotels. _ Chicago Fire.—Chicago is ft city of marvelous facts. It seems almost beyond the bounds of possi¬ bility to the visiting stranger that forty years ago there were only sixty brick buildings in the city, and that it has been but twenty-two years since the entire business portion and the larger part of the residences were in ruins, while they can to-day see around them the finest city, archi¬ tecturally, the world has ever known. The most thrilling event in local history is the great fire of October 8 and 9, 1871. The roaring flames, blazing roofs, falling walls, panic-stricken people in a sea of fire, was one of the most thrilling and appalling sights ever witnessed. About $200,000,000 worth of property was destroyed, and the loss of life footed up some¬ thing like 300 souls. Chicago Musical College.— This institution was established in 1867, and was the pioneer of schools of music in the West. During these twenty-four years the college has granted,after thorough examinations, such honors as diplomas, teachers' certificates, gold and silver medals, to over 1.000 pupils, among whom will be found many of the noted musical celebrities of the age. The location of the main college—it has br inches in various parts of the city—is iu Chicago Musical Col¬ lege building, 202 Michigan boule¬ vard. At the head of the faculty- is a name well known both in música' circles and generally—it is that of Dr. F. Ziegfeld, who was a graduate from the Leipsic Conservatory in 1862. The course of instruction of the college includes all branches of a complete and symmetrical musical education that is superior to any that can be had anywhere. Chicago Nursery and Half- Orphan Asylum.—855 North Hal- sted Street, cares for children of poor women while looking for employ¬ ment, or that, are employed. A small sum is charged. Chicago Orphan Asylum is located at 2228 Michigan Avenue, and is under Protestant management, but children of all creeds are ad¬ mitted. Chicago Yacht Club has a club-house at 189 Michigan Avenue, and a superb fleet of yachts owned by its members, some of which are very handsome craft and very fast. This club has done much to keep up the interest in yachting in the West. Children's Charity Globes.— This is a new and original device of the Fresh Air Fund management. From spring to autumn these glass charity globes will be found in al¬ most every public place, and if you feel disposed you can make any con¬ tribution you please, dropping the money into a slot through which it falls into the globe. At regular inter¬ vals this money is collected and the amount goes to the Fresh Air Fund, which has for its object the sending i55 cin-cHO of certain needy classes into the coun¬ try for a summer vacation. Tiiese classes are : First, workinK girls and boys ; second, motlieis with infants ; third, sewing and shop girls. Tlie Daily News secures invitations for these from among its subscribers who live in pleasant country places. The rail"oads charge half rates, or make other reductions, and give special at¬ tention to those wearing the country week badges. The News arranges all details. When the work was begun in 1887, only 461 were sent out. Last year 1,749 were sent out, at a cost of |2,837.90, or $1.62 for each. Chicago—Mcintosh Battery & Optical Co.—This splendid Insti¬ tution, located at 521-531 Wabash avenue, manufacturers and deal¬ ers in stereopttcons, sciopticons, dissolving view apparatus, micro¬ scopes, solar microscope and ster- eopticon combination, objectives, photographic transparencies, plain and artistically colored views and microscopical prepara¬ tions. This houseI'urnishes every¬ thing required for giving illus¬ trated lectures, lanterns, views, screens and limes. In stock will at all times be found over 100,000 views, plain and colored, and hence all orders can be filled promptly. To those desirous of giving a private or public enter¬ tainment tiiey rent a complete apparatus, selection of views on any subject, and furnish an ex¬ perienced operator at a very rea¬ sonable figure. The Mcintosh Battery and Optical Co. is the Chicago headquarters for projec¬ tion apparatus, slides and acces¬ sories in the West. At the various expositions their goods have been awarded gold medals for "First Degree of Merit." Their factory IS the only one of its kind in oper¬ ation in the West. The scientific investigator, the educator, the lecturer, and he who simply caters to the higher amuse¬ ment of the public, find in the stereopticon an indispensable aid. In its improved form most delicate investigations into chemical, phy¬ sical, electrical and pathological phenomena are possible, and what is of most importance, the method of conducting such research, and its immediate results, can be shown to an audience as easily as to a single individual. The edu¬ cator can illustrate in the most effective manner by its aid, phys¬ iology, botany, natural history, chemistry, etc. C h o 1 e r a.—Chicago has been visited by cholera on three occasions —in 1832, in 1849, and in 1873. In every instance the disease was im¬ ported. This dreadful disease first came to Chicago by way of Quebec, where it had been brought by an emigrant ship from Europe early in the year 1832. During the Black Hawk war the disease broke out among the troops of General Scott, who came out to the war by way of the lakes, and caused such mortality and panic among the troops as to prevent their arrival until after the war was ended. This war also brought quite a number of immi¬ grants to the city, and the scourge made dreadful havoc, both in the garrison of Fort Dearborn and among the citizens. The first Board of Health was estab¬ lished in 1843, and a hospital erected outside the ciiy limits for persons at¬ tacked with cholera or other infec¬ tious diseases. Another ordinance of this time gave the supervisor authority to order every male person in the town over twenty-one years, to perform CHO—CHO 56 sanitary labor in cleaning the streets and alleys, and a failure to perform this duty or provide a substitute was punishable by a fine of $5 for each offense. The cholera gradually spent its strength under these pre¬ cautions, and by 1835 was pretty well eradicated. The fright caused by its appearance in the city, and the agitation that followed, resulted in one good at least. Under an act of the Legislature, passed February 11, 1835, the town trustees organized a board of health. Another important result of the agitation was the estab¬ lishment of cemeteries outside the corporate limits. Two cemeteries were laid out. The South Side cemetery was located at what is now the crossing of Twenty-third Street and Wabash Avenue. The North Side cemetery was located on what is now Chicago Avenue, close to the lake shore. The rapid growth of the city soon necessitated the vacation of these cemeteries, and a new site was chosen between the present North Avenue and Asylum Place. The city charter, granted March 4, 1837, provides for the election annu¬ ally of three commissioners to act asa board of health. During the sum¬ mer of 1838, the laborers on the Illinois and Michigan Canal were at¬ tacked by a strange disease that caused great mortality. This disease, for want of a better name, was called "Canal cholera," as many of the symptoms were like those of the real Asiatic cholera. As fast as the men died of this disease, their remains were sent to Chicago and thrown along the roads near Bridgeport. The citizens were afraid to touch the bodies for fear of infection, and they were often allowed to lie a long time without burial. In 1849, cholera made its appearance again, accom¬ panied by the small-pox, and there were many spasmodic efforts made to improve the sanitary condition of the city. The streets and alleys were in a filthy condition, the river had become very foul, and the sewerage did not keep pace "with the needs of the rapid growth in population. This state of things was gradually improved by the introduction of a general system of vaccination and the adoption of isolated hospitals f. r small-pox and other infectious dis¬ eases. The exposure incident to the Great Fire, and the after-crowding together of large numbers of people in barracks, again caused a great in¬ crease iu the mortality. In 1873 the cholera again br ke out in Chicago, but better sanitary arrangemints prevented its spreading to any great extent. The only dis ricts that w< re seriously affected w- re those where dense populations (d foreigners had congregated, and where proper sani¬ tary measures could not be enforced. Next to cholera, small-pox has been the disease that has given the sanitary officers the most troubh; but a system of isolation and, ( f lale years, compulsory vaccination, has resulted in pretty effectually stamp¬ ing out this loathsome disease. As the city grew, and its sanitary needs became more urgent, addi¬ tional powers were conferred from time to tim i upon the sanitaiy de¬ partment, and the force of sanitary oflîcers was increased to meet these needs; not, however, without much and repeated urging, which generally came from the physicians and the press of the city. Chop-Houses, where a first rate chop may be obtained by the lover of a "grilled bone," are almost as rare in Chicago as hens' teeth. This is possibly due to lack of de¬ mand, for it must be admitted that what Americans know about a chop or grill would make but a few lines. What Americans recognize as a chop is a bone denuded of all meat except 57 CHO-CIT a mouthful of tough, stringy cartilage at one end, possibly hidden in a scal¬ lop of white paper, and without taste or nutriment. The chop proper is an inch and a quarter thick, cut from tiie loin, bounded by firm, white fat, with a good, large tenderloin, juicy, tender, and rich. A nice chop, a baked potato, a little watercress, English pickles, and plenty of bread, make a meal fit for a king. Nice broiled kidneys, porterhouse steaks, Bass' ale, porter, or stout. Sc >tch ale, " arf 'n arf," drawn from wood and served in pewter, are also adjuncts of a flrst-class chop-house. The great trouble with our people, as far as this particular supply is con¬ cerned, is that there is not enough demand for it, or the effort would have been made long before this to furnish the supply. And the heart rarely longs for what it has never seen. ■ Christian Churches.—The fol¬ lowing is a list of the names and locations of those in Chicago: First Church, West Jackson Street, corner Oakley Avenue. West Side Church, Western Ave¬ nue, southwest corner Congress Street. Central Church, Indiana Avenue, corner Thirty-seventh Street. Churchés.—Every denomination of Christians is represented in Chi¬ cago, and the stranger need be at no loss where to go on a Sunday, unless it be from the" difficulty of making a choice among so many. There are at this time 397 church buildings in the city, varying in seating capacity from 200 to 2,000, and averaging about 600 or 700—about 250,000 alto¬ gether. With few exceptions, these churches are supported mainly from pew rents and voluntary subscrip¬ tions. They all depend on their reg¬ ular congregations, but strangers are welcome at all times, and will be cheerfully provided with seats, so long as there are any vacant. On Sunday, services in the Protestant churches begin in the morning generally at 10:30; in the afternoon at 8:30, and in the evening at 7:30. The Roman Catholic churches on that day celebrate high mass and vespers at about the same hours. Such of the churches as are note¬ worthy, architecturally or otherwise, are described under their own heads, while a list of those of each denomi¬ nation is given under the name of that denomination, except a few scattered ones, which may be found under Churches, Miscellausous. Church of the Messiah was organized on June 29, 1836. It is built of stone, with the entrance through the basement of the massive tower which forms the corner on Michigan Avenue and Twenty third Street. It is the pioneer of the Unitarian churches iti this citv, and the main structure, together with the memorial chapel, make it one of the handsomest architecturally. Cigars.—There are nearly 1,300 cigar stores in Chicago, nearly all of which are marked by the conven¬ tional wooden Indian sign. Citizens' Association has room 35, Merchants' Building. City Hall.—The City Hall Build¬ ing occupies, together with the Coun¬ ty Building, the block bounded by La Salle, Clark, Randolph, and Washington streets, and stands up¬ on the site of the first court-house built in Chicago. The present structure was commenced in 1877 and cost about $1,800,000. It is a handsome and imposing building, of a semi-Grecian style of architecture. The machinery of municipal gov¬ ernment revolves in the City Hall, CIT—CLte and all the departments thereof can as in other large cities, have a be found on tlie different floors.

Under this ar- Clearing House Association, rangement, there is no difficulty in —AH reputable banks of Chicago, the collections, nor risk in sending CLU-CLÜ out a messenger to collect the vari¬ ous amounts. The system in use in Chicago is so perfect that, although the transactions through it have been enormous, no difference n'lr erro^ exists in any of its records; neither has any bank, -while a mem¬ ber of the association, susiained any loss from any other bank which was also a member. Like all other clearing houses of the country, Chicago sustained nobly its share in helping the great civil war to a favorable and honorable peace. During financial panics it has become more and more the fash¬ ion tu uphold and sustain each other's hands, and thus prevent the loss wliich must come from the in¬ evitable loss of confidence which so surely follows. The clearing house is specially fitted up for its particu¬ lar uses, and quiet accuracy and dis¬ patch are the principal character¬ istics. Chicago's clearings rank next to New York's, although Boston has fifty-one banks and there are but twenty-one in Chicago. There is no question but that her business really ranks her as the second city in the country in business transactions and financial affairs. The total clearings of Chicago for 1890 were $4,093,145.904, an average per month of $357,782,159, and an in¬ crease over the clearings of 1866 of over three billions of dollars. Noth¬ ing is so striking a proof of the rapid increase of Chicago's wealth as this statement» Clubs.—They are not as numer¬ ous in proportion in Chicago as they are in New York and Loudon; but notwithstanding the fact that several clubs have died from inanition within a few years, the increased member¬ ship in desirable clubs seems to in¬ dicate that club life is growing in favor in Chicago. The follow¬ ing is a list of the principal clubs. particulars in regard to which will be found under their separate heads: Acacia, 105 Ashland Avenue Botilevard. .íEolus Cycling, 174 Evergreen Aveuue.

The athletic, base-ball, gun, and sporting clubs are very numerous, but they are purely local and social organizations, in which the stranger would not be interested. Coal Exchange.—The Chicago Coal Exchange is located at room 635, 235 Dearborn Street, and the Anthracite Coal Association occupies rooms in the same building. Cold Storage Exchange, The Chicago.—The corner-stone of the Chicago Cold Storage Exchange, which, when completed, will be the largest cold-storage warehouse in the world, was laid November 13, 1890. It is located just west of the river, between Lake and Randolph streets. It has a dock frontage of 385 feet, and the same frontage on the alley between the river and Canal Street. The building is divided in two parts, with an arcade between the two. Under this arcade the St. Paul, Pennsylvania, and other railroad tracks are run. A traffic-way is con.structed over the tracks, and facing it and Lake and Randolph streets will be stores for prod¬ uce merchants. The structure is thoroughly fire-proof, being con¬ structed of stone, iron, terra-cotta, and brick, the frame being of stee'. It is ten stories high, and will be furnished with all appliances for the handling of merchandise requiring cold storage. The land on which it stands is worth $710,000, and the building will cost $1,120,000 and the refrigerator apparatus $-565,000. The total cost will therefore be more than $3,000,000. Colleges.—Chicago is rapidly advancing as an educational center, and the colleges, mostly situated in the adjoining suburbs," hold a high rank as institutions of learning. Within a f(;w months the new Chicago University will be opened, when the lakc-ide cit y will rank with Yale, Harvard, and Prineeton. The principal colleges of Chicago and vicinity are: , Lake Forest Uníveesitt.— Twenty-eight miles from the city. Denomination, Presbyterian. Attend- 61 COL—COL ed by over 300 students, including the young ladies at Ferry Hall Semi¬ nary. . X,Ewis Institute.—Is now com¬ pleted. Has been modeled after the Massachusetts Institute of Tech¬ nology. This institute will probably be merged into the Chicago Uni¬ versity. Kenwood Institute for Young Ladies.—A very fashionable board¬ ing school, located at the South Side suburb of Kenwood, on the Illinois Central road. Morgan Park Female Semi¬ nary.—Located at the suburb of Morgan Park, on the Rock Island Railroad. Educates a large number of young ladies, both from Illinois and other States. Northwestern University.— Located at the pretty village of Evanston, twelve miles north of the city. This is the leading college of Illinois, and contains nearly '¿,000 students, with 113 professors. Char¬ tered in 1851, and opened in 1853, this university has ever maintained a high standard of education, and is justly considered the banner college of the Northwest. There are classical, philosophical, and scientific courses; medical, lega', and theo¬ logical departments, and a well- attended female seminary. No co'lege in the country affords a more thorough course of studies, or moro pleasant, refined, and moral sur¬ roundings. Northwestern Preparatory School.—Auxiliary to Northwest¬ ern University, and attended by 701 students. University School.—Located on the North Side, at Elm Street and Dearborn Avenue. Undenomi¬ national, and an excellent prepara¬ tory school for college courses. University op Chicago is located on the six blocks between El' s Ave¬ nue, Greenwood Avenue, Fifty-sixth Street, and the Midway Plaisance. This site was partly the gift of Marshall Field. John D. Rocke¬ feller presented $2,600,000 to the new college, and $5,070,000 was raised by the Baptists of Chicago. With this princely sum, a college will be erected and maintained, which will be sicond to none in the country. Collsetim —Located on Wabash avenue, between 14th and 16th streets, and occupying the former site of the Libby Prison building. A structure of enormous size, the largest assembly hall in the city, with a seating capacity 15,000, the Coliseum is the last and most access¬ ible of three structures, the first two built on 63d street, and lasting but a short time each, one collapsing and the other being destroyed by fire. The Chicago Coliseum Company, of which Charles F. Gunther is a lead¬ ing light, decided to locate on the Libby Prison lot, and their big build¬ ing was completed in record time and in shipshape fashion. It is built of yellow pressed brick, with a gray stone front, lofty roof, and-immense galleries. Since its completion, it has been idle hardly a day, shows of every imaginable kind eagerly seek¬ ing a chance to occupy the great roomy edifice, one of the sights of the city, and accessible by Wabash avenue, Indiana avenue, and State street cars, the South Side "L" road, and the Illinois central railway. Madison Square Garden, in New York, is the only similar hall in the country of larger seating capacity. The first and second Coliseums were much larger buildings, but the pres¬ ent structure answers all needs, and completely fills the lot on which it stands. The horse show of igoo was held in the Coliseum, and the hall is now as fashionable as it is accessible. Northwestern University, Evanston, 63 COM—CON Commercial Club. — Is com¬ posed of a limited number of repre¬ sentative business men, whose desire is to further the commercial interests of the city, and for social intercourse, as well as to entertain commercial magnates from other cities when in Chicago. Concerts.—In some of our large cities, in the East especially, there are a number of people, or sets of people, for whom it would be " bad form " to attend an opera or a theatre, but they can not deny themselves the luxury of attending concerts. In Chicago this splitting of hairs is not so excessive, and the people are fully as fond of music as in any other city in the world. Chicago is never left in the cold when a concert troupe are making up their route. The finest musical talent in the country is at¬ tracted here, and our home talent is not one of mean dimensions. Our music halls are ample for the largest audiences, and superior talent is al¬ ways warmly welcomed. The day for snubbing Chicago because she attended strictly to business, and had little leisure for the cultivation of the finer nature, is past, and the World's Columbian Exposition will undoubt¬ edly demonstrate to outsiders, what we already know, that music is just as highly appreciated in Chicago as elsewhere in the world. Concert Saloons.—As distin¬ guished from concerts proper. In the one the music is the important feature ; in the other the sale of liquor is the incentive, and the music is simply secondary. In Chicago, there are two classes, one where music is used as an attraction, while one sits to drink his glass of lager ; but the class which is feared by all good citizens, include the "dives" and worse, where music, and an execrable excuse at that, is used to entice the young and foolish, where liquor and painted harlots drag swiftly and fiercely down the awful road, whose end is moral debauchery and physi¬ cal destruction. No respectable per¬ son likes to be known asa frequenter of any of these places. The women are without attractive beauty, completely unsexed, and deplorably ignorant. A discordant, heavily-pounded piano shrieks in its awful distress. The liquors are of the vikst, and the women insist upon being treated constantly to colored water, which their dupes pay for as the best brandy. They are not a nice place for a stranger to enter, and are con¬ stantly watched by the police. Concordia Cemetery .—Is beau¬ tifully laid out, and highly improved, and is the burial place of the Evan¬ gelical Lutheran churches' dead. It is nine miles west of the city. Take train at Grand Central depot via Chi¬ cago & Northern Pacific Railroad, Condemned Meat.—It is un¬ lawful to sell meat in Chicago that is unfit for food. There is a meat in¬ spector in the service of the Health Department, and he, with his aid, keeps a close surveillance over the Union Stock Yards, the Bridgeport district. South Water Street, and the Fulton Street wholesale market. During the year 1890, this officer condemned 3,072 hogs, diseased; 723 quarters of beef, bruised; 244 sheep, disi'ased; 283 calves, emaciated and too young; 15 pork hams, bruised, and 863 cattle, diseased, making a total of 986,418 pounds. It may be well for certain persons to read Sec¬ tion 1458 of the municipal code of the City of Chicago, It is as follows: "That no diseased or sickly horse, cattle, swine, sheep, dog, or cat, or other animals, nor any that have been exposed to any disease that is contagious among such animals, shall be brought into the City of Chicago." CON—CUiN 64 Section 1490 of the municipal code reads as follows: "That no person shall bring into the city, or keep therein for sale or otherwise, either for food or for any otlier purpose or purposes whatever, any animal, dead or alive, matter, substance, or thing which shall be or which shall occasion a nuisance in said city, or which may or shall be dangerous or detrimental to health." These ordinances should be rig¬ idly enforced, and would be were it not for the interference of the State Live Stock Board, who claim the right under the State law to ship to the city diseased animals. They have exercised that alleged right in direct violation of the city ordi¬ nances. They have brought to this market, ostensibly for rendering pur¬ poses, cattle suifering with very dangerous contagious diseases, and. permitted others to do so. The prac¬ tice is very reprehensible. That the carcasses of such cattle have been frequently sold in our market for human food, there is no doubt. Sev¬ eral of the butchers of such cattle have made affidavits that such was the case; one of the members of the State Live Stock Board has confessed that during the pa.st years thousands of cattle affected with that dreaded disea.se, actinomycosis, have been driven from the Stock Yards, slaugh¬ tered, and their carcasses sold on the market for human food. It is an in¬ famous business, and persons who engage in it deserve the most severe pun shment that can be inflicted. CongT-eer^tional Churches.— The following is a list of those in Chicago, with their locations; Fir.st Church, corner Ann Street and Washington Boulevard. Union Park Church, southwest corner Ashland Avenue and Wash¬ ington Boulevard. New England Church, Dearborn Avenue and Di-laware Place. Plymouth Church, Michigan Ave¬ nue, between Twenty-tifth and Twenty-sixth streets. South Church, corner Drexel Boulevard and Fortieth Street. Bethany Chuich, corner Superior and Lincoln streets. Tabernacle Church, corner West Indi I na and iMorgan streets. Clinton Street Church, corner South Clinton and Wilson streets. Central Park Church, Forty first, corner Fulton Street. Western Avenue Chapel, West Polk, corner Idaho Street. Lincoln Park Church, corner Gar¬ field Avenue and Mohawk Street. .Jefferson Church, Jefferson. Oakley Avenue Mission, corner West Indiana Street, near Oakley Avenue. Leavitt Street Church, comer Leavitt and West Adams streets. Englewood Chuich School, corner Eighty-fourth Street, Englewood. Lawndale Church, Lawndale. Bethlehem Chapel, corner Center Avenue and Twenty-first Street. California Avenue Chapel, 1256 West Van Buren Street.

South German Church, Ullman Street, corner James Avenue. Union Tabernacle, South A.shland Avenue, corner Twentieth Street. Warren Avenue Church, Warren 65 CON-COO Avenue, southwest corner Albany Avenue. Welsh Church, South Peoria Street, near West Jackson Street. Consuls.—All of the great for¬ eign powers are represented b}' con¬ suls or consular agents in Chicago. The addresses of these will be found below, under the names of govern¬ ments by which they are accredited. Foreigners visiting Chicago are en¬ titled to the advice and protection of the consuls of their Government in the city and those who have no con¬ sul located here will usually be well treated by the consul of some gov¬ ernment adjacent and friendly to their own. By consulting with the consul of their government on all matters of moment, foreigners will frequently avoid being swindled. Argentine Republic, 83 Jackson Street. Austria-Hungary, 78-80Fifth Ave¬ nue. Belgium, 167 Dearborn Street. Denmark. 809 Fremont Street. France, 78 La Salle Street. German Empire, room 25, Borden Block. Great Britain, room 4, 73 Dear¬ born Street. Italy, 110 La Salle Street. Mexico, room 30, 136 Washington Street. Netherlands, 85 Washington Street, Sweden and Norway, room 1, 153 Randolph Street, Switzerland. 65 Washington Street. Turkey, 167 Dearborn Street. Convent and Parochial Schools.—The parochial schools of Chicago furnish education to nearly 46,000 children, and certainly save an immense expense from the public school funds. About 1,000 teachers are employed. The Hebrew schools contain about 6 600 pupils, the Lutheran some 7,000, and the Catholic over 35,0u0j Many of the Catholic schools contain as man}' children as the largest public schools, the Holy Family schools, at the corner of T welf th Street and Blue Island Avenue, educating 4,500 pupils. The parochial schools have been often attacked by the advocates of the public school sy.stem, but seem to hold their own neverthele.ss, and apparently furnish almost as thorough an education as the schools under the management of the Board of Educa¬ tion. Cook County Hospital.—Is lo¬ cated on the square bounded by A¥ood, Harrison, Lincoln, and Polk streets. Take West Madison eable car-line. This institution is for the benefit of the poor and is one of the largest and most perfectly appointed hospitals in this country. 11 is under the manage¬ ment of the County Commissioners, and is supported by the tax-payers. Cook County Insane Asylum. —Is a magnificent group of buildings located in Cook County and affords every facili y for the care of those unfortunate enough to be placed there. Cook County Jail and Criminal Court.—This is a new seven-story building of steel and stone con¬ struction. It is located at the corner of Dearborn avenue and Michigan street, and is an impos¬ ing and mammoth structure. The jail is connected with the criminal court building by a number of cor¬ ridors. Persons indicted by the grand jury receive their trial in the courts, numbered from one to six. Many famous trials have taken place in this building. In the jail there is at all times from 400 to 500 prisoners confined. coo—cou 66 many of whom are notorious crim¬ inals. Many executions have taken place in the jail, among whom may be mentioned the an¬ archists. Attendance at execu¬ tions is limited to persons having some special business in being there. Visitors are admitted on Tuesdays and Fridays. Cookings Schools.—There are a few of these useful institutions in Chicago, but not" nearly enough to fill the want of culinary éducation. There isa" kitchen garden " at the H uro I Street school where cooking classes are held afternoons; there is an excellent cooking school on Mich¬ igan avenue and another at the south c id of the Lake Front Park. The trouble with these schools is, that domestics can not afford to pay the lees for instruction, while the upper class liidies regard the cooking classes merely as amusement. Coroner.—The County Coroner has an office in the basement of the County Building, and employs a large number of deputies. Fatal accidents occur daily, and the coroner and his subordinates are kept busy most of the time. The position is a lucrative one, the fees mounting up to large propor¬ tions. During 1890 there were 1,478 coroner's inquests, and 290 post mor¬ tem inve-stigations. County Clerk's Office.—On the first floor of the County Building. The County Clerk is elected by pop¬ ular vote aud receives a good sized salary and numerous perquisites, making the office both desirable and important. A large force of clerks i.s employed in this office. CDunty Officers.—The officers of l ook County are: A county treasurer, a recorder of deed.s, a sheriff, a county clerk, and clerks of the county, probate, circuit, superior and criminal courts. There are also numerous minor officers and sub- officials, some paid by fees and per¬ quisites, and others directly by the county. County Treasurer.—The County Treasurer of Cook County collecis both city and county taxes. The Treasurer's offices and the various de partments connected there¬ with, employ a clerical force of at least lud, and the expenses of the office amounted to $f3l,527 during the past year. The Treas¬ urer's office is located on the second floor of the Court-House.and the scene presented there during the month of May, when the taxes are due and paid, is exciting. Tax-payers, aside from having the burden of taxes, are compelled to stand in line for hours before they can reach the counter and contribute iheir portion of the 116,139,966.55. Those figures represent the special assessments for improvements ($5,686,726.14), and the state, county, and school tax levy of 1890. The County Treasurer, who is elected for a term of two years, collects all of these taxes and disburses them to the city. State and county, each of course receiving the portion it is entitled to under the law. Court-House and City Hall. —The proce.'is of evolution through which the Court-House Building has been carried in Chicago, com¬ mencing with "the estray pen" and ending with the present elai'orate joint structure belonging to the city and county, forms one of the interesting chapters in Chicago's history. It is also a matter of inter¬ esting history that there was a very vigorous "kick" on the part of tlie County Commissioners who had the "estray pen" built, that the con- 67 COU—COU tractor had not complied with the terms of the contract, and he was forced to accept $12 as his compen¬ sation instead of $20, wliich was the original [irice stipulated. The real estate upon which the present building stands was accpiired by a grant of twenty-four c dial lois from the State to Cook County, the proceeds from the sale of winch were to be used in the erection of public buildings. Sixteen of the lots were sold and the remaining eight were set aside for a public square and have been utilized ever since as the site of public buildings. This grant was made early in the year 1831, and soon after tlie act of January 15, 1831, providing for the organization of Cook County. The first Board of Town Trustees, who were elected August 10, 1833, when the then town of Chicago was incorporated under the act of 1831, met Wednes¬ day evening of each week at the house of Mark Beaubien, who was one of their number. In December, 1833, the oh! log jail was built on the northwest corner of the square and took the place of the old " estray pen" whi^h was thought not to be in keeping with the glow¬ ing importance of the young city. During the fall of 1835 a one-story and basement brick court-house was erected on the northeast corner of the square opposite the site of the Sherman House. The basement story was occupied by the county officers, and the upper story, which was the court room, was capable of seating 200 persons. After the in¬ corporal ion as a city, w hich step was taken March 3, 1837, the new city for several years rented quarters wherever they could find suitable accommodations. One of the " city halls " of those days was what used to be known as the "old saloon," which stood at the southeast corner of Clark and Lake streets. The name "saloon" was merely a cor¬ ruption of the French word salon, as tliere was no liquor sold on these premises. This building was re¬ garded as almost a prodigy of archi¬ tectural beauty and is often referred to by old settlers as being the largest and most beautiful hall in tlte West at that time. In this hall took place some of the stirring political discus¬ sions of that time. It was there that Stephen A. Douglas made his first speech in Chicago. The first building owned by the city and used for public purposes, was the Market Building, which was built in the center of State Street. It fronted forty feet on Uandolph Street and ran north toward Lake Street 178 feet. It was built of brick and stone, was two stories high and was erected at a cost of $11,000. This building was first occupied November 13, 1848. In 1850 the Common Council ag eed to unite with the county in theconstruction of a combined court¬ house and jail in the center of the public square. This building was completed in 1853 and cost $111,000. In the basement was the jail, the city watch house, jailer's dwelling- rooms and sheriff's office. The most of the city offices and the ar¬ mory were on the second floor. The common council chamber was on the third floor, opposite the court¬ room. This building was swept away in the great fire of 1871. After the fire of 1871 the Mayor took up temporary quarters at the corner of Ann and Washington streets. At a meeting of the council November 11, 1871, the Madison Street police station, northwest corner of Union Street, was desig¬ nated as the temporary headquarters of the city government. Work was at once commenced upon the con¬ struction of the new City Hall on the lot at the southeast corner of Adams and La Salle streets, and by January cou—CRO 68 1, 1872, the building afterwards known as the Rookery was complet¬ ed and occupied by the city authori¬ ties. There they remained until 1885. This building was only in¬ tended as a temporary affair, and in the fall of 1872 the city and county had conj intly advertised for plans for a new city ha 1 and court-house. The «Olk was commenced on the present .joint structure in 1877, but owing to many delays it was not ready for occupancy till January, 1885. J. J. Egan was the architect. The two buildings cost in the neigh- borliood of .'j;4,0ü0,ü00. The city's share was about $1,600,000, and the county's f2,400,000. The dimen¬ sions of the present structure are : Outside length on Clark and La Salle streets, 666 feet ; outside width on Washington and Randolph streets, 128 feet, and its height to the cornice is 126 feet. It is the most striking and handsomest struct¬ ure in the city. Cragin is a manufacturing village, and is northwest from Chi¬ cago only a few miles. A large fac¬ tory for the manufacture of sleighs, and one for manufacturing tin and sheet-iron ware, are located here. Cricket.—The English inhabi¬ tants of Chicago can enjoy their be¬ loved sport as well as in Old England, as there are half a dozen cricket clubs in Chicago. On pleasant days these clubs engage in their favorite game, usually at Garfield Park and the Wanderers' grounds, and play in a manner worthy of Albion itself. The most prominent cricket clubs of Chicago are, the Chicagos, Pull¬ mans, St. Georges, Wanderers, and Garflelds. All these clubs are banded together to form the Chicago Cricket Association, whose annual banquets are great events to true English sportsmen. Criterion Theatre is on the North Side at the corner of Division and Sedgwick streets. The seating capacity is 1,700, and its furnishing, decorations, and equipment are of the very best. It presents to its patrons legitimate drama, light com¬ edy, and burlesque. Lincoln J. Carter, the playwright, has had con¬ trol of the house for the past two years. Cronin Murder.—One of the most notorious and mysterious of all the remarkable events which have made Chicago world famous. Dr. Patrick Cronin, a bachelor physi¬ cian who enjoyed a large and profitable practice on the North Side, was decoyed froiii his office, 540 Noith Clark Street, on pretense of his services being needed by a sick person, on the evening of May 4, 1889. at 7 o'clock. He was taken to the Carlson cottage, 1872 Ashland Avenue. Here he was brutally as¬ sassinated. As be was in the habit of coming and going, and had no immediate relatives to be anxious about him, his absence did not make any particular stir. About a month later his naked body w as found in a ce.ss-pool on Evansion Avenue, Lake View, about two miles north of the Carlson cottage. For reasons which seemed plausible, suspicion was di. reeled toward i ertain members of an oath-bound society, of which the doctor was a prominent and active member, known as the Clan-iia-Gael. The testimony was all based on cir¬ cumstantial evidence, but it was considered strong enough to send P. O'Sullivan, an ice merchant; D niel Coughlin, a member of the detective- police force, and a laborer, Martin Burke, by name, to the penitentiary for life. Much indignation was ex¬ pressed during the developments of the trial that a political society should thus audaciously attempt to 69 CRO—DEC discipline one of its members, regard¬ less of the laws of the country, no matter how he might have offended those with whom he was associated. Curling Club.—The Scotch res¬ idents of Chicago, and many Ameri¬ cans, greatly enjoy the winter sport of curling, and the Chicago Curling Club has a very large membership. Matches are played at Lincoln Park, where a curling rink has been built. Deaconess Institute and Hospital is a charitable institu¬ tion of the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church. Dead Animals.—During the year 1890, the Health Department caused the removal of 9,661 dead horses, 143 cattle, and 14,458 dogs, making a total of 24,263 dead animals. These bodies found their way into the tanks of the Union Rendering Company. The expense to the city for this service was $13,381.08. Deaf Mutes.—Contrary to the general class of speechless unfortu¬ nates, the deaf mutes of Chicago are, as a rule, quite comfortable and able to care for themselves. There are several schools for their iustruction- mostly situated on the West Side, and almost every deaf mute of scholastic age is in receipt of daily tuition. As a result, the deaf mutes are a cheerful and contented class, and enjoy life so well as even to marry among themselves. The principal institution for the instruction of this class of unfor¬ tunates is located at Jacksonville, 215 miles south of Chicago, on the Chicago & Alton Railroad. Average number of people on the rolls, about 600. This is a State institution, and the annual appropriation for main¬ tenance about $120,000. A school for the deaf and dumb is located at 409 May Street, West Side. It is condui ted by the religieus of the Holy Heart of Mary, and supported by the Ephpheta Society. The average number of deaf mutes in the school is about fifty, and four experienced teachers are employed. Decorative Art, Society of. —Demand always brings an attempt at supply that will be supplemented and improved in proportion to the urgency of the demand. So when the busy workers of the city were ready to rest in the homes their labor had won for them, the no less busy women strove to make those homes inviting by all the aids of proportions, color, and harmony of furnishings. This brought them to the need of studying the subject of art decor¬ ation. The ladies seized the shortest route by organizing a Society of Decorative Art, whose objects, briefly stated, are tolead artists in any partic¬ ular lineof work; to master completely the details in that line, and thus give a commercial value to their reputations; to assist the unsuccessful in finding some practical and profit¬ able outlet for their labor; to open classes in various styles of decorative work; to found a circulating library of all published works relating to subjects bearing either upon decor¬ ative art or design, for the benefit of persons interested who can not have instruction or the use of museums or exhibitions in any large city; to become the connecting medium be¬ tween importers and manufacturers and consumers, incidentally receiving orders from both private parties and dealers for all articles of household art, such as decorative china, cabinet work, carvings, draperies, embroideries, pottery, and tiles; to develop also the lost art of needle¬ work and to adapt it to the require¬ ments of the present day in the matters of house furnishing and DEC-DEP 70 decoration. The society has suc¬ ceeded beyond its most brilliant expectation, and is to-day in a flourishing condition. Its fuiure seems well assured, for the taste of our citizens is rapidly growing along the lines indicated. The time is not far ofl' when Chicago will have not only the strongest and highest olflce buildings, but the mo t elegant and tastily furnished homes. The latter results are due to such ladies as j\Irs. Potter Palmer, Mrs. D. Wilkinson, Mrs. J. Y. Scamraon, and many others. Mrs. Scammon is now presi¬ dent, and the headquarters are at 2Ü0 Michigan Avenue. De La Salle Institute.—A splendid commercial high school, erected through the efforts of the Christian Brothers, at the northeast corner of Wabash Avenue and Thirty-fifth st. This magnificent building was erected during the year 1891 at a cost of $112,000. Democratic Clubs.—There are two Democratic Clubs in Chicago whose influence is felt in the direct¬ ing of political matters, not only in city affairs, but also throughout the State and the nation. It is very largely to their influence that Illi¬ nois is counted to-day among the uncertain States in the national con¬ tests. luoQuois CnjB.—Is located in the Columbia Theatre Building, at 110 Monroe Street, in the center of the ousiness district. Organization com¬ pleted October 4, 1881. While it is called the silk-stocking Democracy, it does not neglect the social ameni¬ ties of life, nor hold itself aloof from the rest of the political camp. Its quarters are very spacious and hand¬ some, and fitted up with all modern comforts of club houses. It is the leading club in the city, and counts on its roster the names of the most prominent and influential believers in the Jeffer.souian creed. Its influence is not only local, but national. IVlicn it entertains, nothing is want¬ ing to make the bamiuet a success throughout. The expre.-.sion of ex- President Cleveland, wliich has passed into a popular proverb, "A ptiblic office is a public trust," was first uttered at an Irotpiois Club banquet. Membership in the neigh¬ borhood of 1,(100. The annual dues and entrance fee are very reasonable. Wah Nah Ton Club.—This is the Tammany Democratic club of this city. It contains within its membership a large proportion of the most active and efficient workers in the party here, not only those who can move promptly and successfully on the opposition, but who can plan campaigns and direct their execti- tion. Their ranks hold congressmen, judges, itankers, newspaper mana¬ gers, and all are keen, active, sturdy business men. Without doubt, it has all the material necessary to rival, and even surpass in discipline and united, harmonious action, the foremost political club In the world—Tammany. The Republican party has need to look to its laurels. Dentistry Colleges. — There are three first-class dental colleties in Chicago, where excellent instruc¬ tion is given in the art of .scientific torture. The Chicago College of Dental Surgery is at No. 122 Wabash Avemie; the Northwe.stern College of Dent ist r}', at 12n3 Wabash Ave¬ nue, and the American College of Dental Surgery, at 78 State Street. Department of Public Works.—Situated on the first floor of the City Hall. This department i-t in chiuge of biidges, sewers, streets, and improvements in general, 71 DEP—DIS and, while sometimes crippled by lack of funds, is usually efficient and satisfactory. Department Stores.—During the last decade the facilities of street cars and great numbers of suburban trains have favored the growth of department stores in connection with tlie retail dry goods and notion stores in the business center, on State Street and Wabash Avenue. Thirteen firms employ about 10,000 persons in the busy seas m within the walls of thirteen retail establishments, in the proportion of two males to three fe¬ in.des, and including a great propor¬ tion of boys and girls. The depart¬ ment stores are crowded at all hours of the day, which proves that a large proportion of female housekeepers have an abundance of time to buy their supplies at a great distance from their dwelling places. Cloth¬ ing, wearing apparel, furniture, jewelry, books, and other goods are sold in immense quantiti s in a com¬ paratively small territory of the busi¬ ness center, furnishing employment for one-fifth of the tidal number who work for retail trade in the whole city. Distainces in Chicago.—Chi¬ cago is twenty-four miles from north to south, and from five to eleven miles from east to west. When the city streets were laid out, certain thoroughfares were located at exact distancrsfrom each other. Thus, from Slate Street to Halsted Street is one mile; from Halsted Street to Ashland Avenue, one mile; from Ashland Ave¬ nue to Western Avenue, one mile, and from Western Avenue to West Fortieth Street the same distance. With her enormous area, and the long journeys from point to point of interest, Chicago may truly be called " A City of Magnificent Distances." Distances to Other Cities, Tabulated. CITY.

These, in the ratio of their love and respect for the four-footed friends, desire pure blood and handsome breeds. The bench show of dogs and cats, and other pets, but princi¬ pally dogs, h is become one of the annual attractions of the city, and will be likely to be as long as the old Exposition Building, where it is held, remains on the Lake Front. If that should be demolished " The Dog Fair" will undoubtedly find some other home. It is no uncom¬ mon thing to see young dogs of special breeds exposed for sale ''on the curb " where the "bulls and bears" of the Board of Trade congregate after trading liours. There are two or three houses who deal exclusively in pets of all kinds, birds, monkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, squirrels, and anything that pertains to their keeping or tr lining. They fillorders at short notice for any kind of a dog Dogs.—There are about 30,000 dogs in Chicago which have received proper licenses at the City Hall. Probably twice as many more canines are never taxed, making a very numerous dog population. The life of a (Chicago dog is not enviable. If unlicensed, death is his portion at the hands of any police¬ man; if duly numbered and tagged. he must be muzzled wh< never he is allowed upon the street. His chief enemy is the dog catcher, who gathers in ail unmuzzled dogs with¬ out mercy or distinction and takes them to the " dog pound," where, if not redeemed or sold, they are put to death by suffocation. Many wealthy Chicagoans keep valuable and high blooded dogs, and the annual Chicago dog show is always a fashionable event. Douglas Monument.—Located between Cottage Grove Avenue and the lake. Take cars to Thirty-fifth Street. Opposite Woodlawn and Groveland parks, on the grounds of the Chicago University, which, to¬ gether with the two parks, were donated by Hon. Stephen A. Doug¬ las, whose family mansion occupied the vicinity near the eastern terminus of Douglas Avenue and Woodawn Park, stands tlie monument to this distinguished gentleman. The man solemn containing his remains is of granite, and the shaft towering 104 feet above this is also of granite. Surmounting the shaft is a bronze statue of Mr. Douglas—very life-like. At the corners are four bronze female figures inscribed " Illinois," " His¬ tory, " " Justice, " " Eloquence. " The marble sarcophagus in the crypt bears on its side the following: "Stephen A. Douglas, born April 23, 1813. Died June 3, 1861. Tell my children to obey the laws and uphold the Constitution." Drainage Canal.—The Sanitary District of Chicago has been organ¬ ized under laws passed by the Gen¬ eral .Assembly of Illinois. A drainage commission was appointed with pow¬ ers equal to tho.se exercised by the county and muni' ipal governments. These powers embrace the borrowing of an enormous amount of money upon the credit of the people own- 73 DRA—DRA ing property in the distriet to he Chieago River to Lockpovt, 111, -with affeeted by the carrying out of the acapacitytocarrynotlessthan 10,000 scheme, the condemnation in land, cubic feet of water per second, for the digging of canals, the construe- the improvement of low water navi- tion of dams, dykes, docks, etc., and gation of the Illinois and Missi-ssippi the general management of the drain- rivers, as well as to afford sanitary age system of the district known as relief for Chicago. The General As- Douglas Monument. the Desplaines Water-shed. These laws contemplate a navigable water¬ way not less than 160 feet wide, and not less than eighteen feet deep across the " Chicago Divide," from Lake Michigan at or near the mouth of the sembly also passed a joint resolution asking for cooperation, on the part of the United States, in the construction of a channel not less than twenty-two feet deep from Lake Michigan to Lake Joliet, and thence fourteen feet DRA—DRA. deep to La Salle, from which point the Illinois River is to be improved by dredging in another channel in conjunction with a water suppij' from Lake Michigan. The resolui ion asks that these works be so designed as to permit future enlargement to a greater capacity, plainly foreshadow¬ ing the plan of a navigable water¬ way to the Gulf of jVioLico. The project of a water-way via the Missis¬ sippi to the Gulf -d Mexico is one of vast comnii-rcial importance, and it is h'iped that it maybe undertaken on such a scale, and designed in such a manner, that it may develop pro¬ gressively until deep water to the Gulf is achieved. Then will be rea¬ lized the dream of Gallatin, Clinton, and Morris, of a water-way from the Hudson River, via the lakes and the Mississippi, to the Gulf of Mexico. Such a line necessarily crosses the "Chicago Divide." There is now before Congress a bill for the con¬ struction of a ship canal, with a depth of twenty feet, for navigation into Lake Ontario, which would extend deep water 150 miles nearer the At¬ lantic. We are justified in anticipat¬ ing that a deep water-way will at some time be extended to the Hudson on the east, and to the Gulf on the south. The advantages of such a communication would be incalcul¬ able, and whatever is done should be done in harmony with this great policy. There is, moreover, a ques¬ tion of large local importance in¬ volved in a channel of the depth of twenty-two feet, which is nothing less than a harbor for deep-draught ves- .sels of twenty feet, for which lake improvements are now in progress. Should a channel of the proper width be provided, it may be made to serve a harbor purpose, and gradually draw to itself the deeper commerce of the future without infringement of vested rights. The headquarters of the Board of Trustees of the Sanitary 'U District is in the Rialto Building, rear of the Board of Trade, Pacific Avenue. They are nine in number, appointed in conformity with the law. Of course the present great object of the canal is to dispose of Chicago sewage, and to accomplish this eud an expenditure of at least $20,000,000 will be required. The work is now being actively pushed along the route chosen by Engineer Worthen. It is as follows : iitarting from the west fork of the South Branch of the Chi¬ cago River, in Bridgeport, following the Ogden ditch to tigden dam, n here the routecrosses the Desplaines River, then following the xvest bank of the Desplaines River to Joliet. In one or two places, where there is too great a curve in the river, it leaves it for a short distance. Again, it runs in the river at places, but never crosses over, always running on tlie west bank. It will be several years, however, before the new drainage channel can be made available as a huge sewer. Dramatic Ag^encies.—These establishments are kept up by men who act as brokers in making en¬ gagements between actors and man¬ agers of theatres and theatrical com panics, and they are to be found in and about Clark Street. It is moie than probable that while they are u.seful in a business way at times, they still exert a pernicious influence upon the stage from an artistic standpoint. Agents are human and their likes and dislikes too often do injustice both to actor and public. Their cliarges vary from three to ten per cent, for their various services, and upon the prompt payment of these, and other like requirements of the agents, more than upon their abilities, actors now depend for en¬ gagements. The sidewalks adjoin¬ ing these agencies are filled with idle actors during the summer 75 DRA-DRY months. In other words, the place is sort of a theatrical " slave mart." Drexel Boulevard.—(For- merly Grove Parkwayj is the result of the action of a meeting of the pi op- erty owners along its bordets from the railroad track at Forty-first Street to Washington Park, held about the time (1870) the initiative was taken on the park improve¬ ments, to take into consideration the proposition of the Soutli Park Commissioners to purchase the right of way for a thoroughfare from Egan Avenue to the entrance of Wash¬ ington Park at Fifty-first Street Boulevard. The purchase was made, the owners receiving sums made up of prices which averaged $4,000 per acre. It is 200 feet wide from be¬ ginning to end, the breadth being divided as follows : Fifteen feet of sidewalk, forty feet of roadway at the sides of the planting place in the center which is ninety feet wide. The Avenue ITmperatrice. Paris, is the model for Drexel Boulevard. In the building and ornamentation of the two they are exactly similar. The Avenue ITmperatrice is con¬ sidered the finest street in the world. Drexel Boulevard is devoted to the exclusive use of pleasure, all trafile over it being forbidden. The oina- mentation of each block is dissimi¬ lar. Forest, flower gardens, shrub¬ bery, etc., alternate, and the walks are shaped in divers winding courses. The material of the walks is hard blue clay, the drives of gravel on a compact graded surface, the sidewalks of asphalt and stone, and the gutters are formed by concave slabs of slag, an imperishable ma¬ terial. The swell of the planting surface is considerably above the driving grade, giving a prominent and beautiful appearance. Trellis work, rustic seats and bowers, fount- tains, etc., are features interspersed through the whole length. At the intersection of Drexel Avenue is a magnificent bronze fountain, pre¬ sented by the Misses. Drexel, of Philadelphia, in memory of their father, after whom the boulevard was named. On each side of the boulevard, throughout its entire length, the propertj^ holders have placed, four feet inside of the fence, lines of stately elms. A uniform building line of forty feet is estab¬ lished through the entire length of the boulevard, giving a clear, open space of 280 feet. Within these building lines are to be seen some of the handsomest mansions and prettiest villas of Chicago. At the head of the boulevard, a few steps from the Cottage Grove Avenue cable line, is the "Cottage," from which phae¬ tons start at intervals through the day for a circuit of the south parks. The many attractions of this now famous boulevard attract thou¬ sands of sightseers annually. Drinking Fountains.—A good system of drinking fountains is greatly needed in Chiciigo. At pres¬ ent there are only a few hydrants, excepting those in the parks. The late John B. Drake has erected a fine fountain in the open space be¬ tween the City Hall and the County Building, and his example mic ht be followed by many other rich men. Drives.—The finest drives of Chicago are upon the boulevards, a list of which is given under that heading. Every facility in the way of horses and vehicles is very easily obtainable. Dry Goods.—There are over 500 dry goods stores in the city. Of these the most prominent are, Marshall Field & Co., Mandel Brothers, Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., Chas. A. Stevens & Bros., DIÍY—ELE 76 Schlesinger & Mayer, Siegel, Cooper & Co., "The Fair," A. M. Rothschild & Co., and The Boston Store. These great stores, which employ armies of workers, are situated along State street and Wabash avenue. Employment Agencies.—There are a number of these useful bureaus in the city. Refer to the City Directory or the want col¬ umns of the various newspapers for the names and locations. Elections.—The April and No¬ vember elcction.s in Chicago are events of great interesi, as the two great political parties are about equally divided in the city, and the balance of power alternates fre¬ quently. The city election takes place in the spring, and the struggle for mayoralty and aldermanic hon¬ ors is most enthusiastic. In the fall the county election occurs, and another spasm of political energy dominates the city and county. Formerly, frauds were quite fre¬ quent at Chicago elections, but stringent laws have now removed this dishonesty. The Australian ballot system has been recently made the legal voting method, and its re¬ sults in Chicago will be watched with much interest. The elections of Chicago are under the supervision of a Board of Election Commission¬ ers, whose rooms are on the third floor of the City Hall. Electric Club.—The Chicago Electric Club is a social organization, with a membership composed almost entirely of men connected with elec¬ tric occupations. The rooms of the club at 103 Adams Street, are ele¬ gantly furnished, and are the head¬ quarters of some of the most cultured and successful business men of the city. Electric Fountain.—The great electric fountain in Lincoln Park was presented to the Park Com¬ missioners by Mr. Charles T. Yerkes, President of the North and West Side Street Railway Companies. This fountain was made in Paris. When in operation the water assumes all the colors of tlie rainbow, made so by concealed electric lights. It is an unique attraction t() tlie park, and a delight to all who see its unequaled splendor. Take North Clark Street cable cars. Electric Lights.—Chicago's ex¬ perience with electric lights is entirely satisfactory and fully demon¬ strates that the city need be u > longer at the mercy of a remorseless gas trust. These figures lell the story, and should be attentively studied by those who are in the least interested in an improved and superior form of illumination: Nine hundred arc lights are now in operation, and they have displaced 3,621 gas lights, the latter costing $20 each per annum, or a total cost of $72,420.00. The present cost of operating 900 arc lights at $83 each per annum is $74,700.00, or $2,800.00 in excess of the amount paid for the gas they displace. Electric Railways. — Electric¬ ity has almost usurped the field as a motive power for operatiug the various street railway systems of Chicago. The entire change from horse power has i>een made during the last ten years. 'The mileage of electric roads using the streets of Chicago at this time is as follows: Calumet Electric Street Railway Co., 83 miles; Chicago City Railway Co., 179 miles; Chi¬ cago Electric Transit Co., 69 miles; Chicago General Railway Co., 26 miles; Chicago & Jefferson Urban T7 ELE-ELE Trausit Co., 7i miles; Chicago known asthe Logan Square road.

From cago, 857 miles using electricity, a station on the loop trains can be taken for any section of the city. Elevated Railways. — The ^ne fair is in all cases five cents. South Side Elevated railroad is 11 delightful, miles in length, and runs from the heart of the city to Jackson Park in the extreme southern end of the city. The road was the first Elevators, Grain.—The grain "L" built in Chicago, and partici- elevators, now so monumental of pated in the World's Fair traffic. Chicago's commerce, had reached.

There are four business of storing grain for the distinct roads in this system, one trade was of gradual and later de- of which runs due west to Garfield velopmeut. At present the toial Park and 48th street, another to capacity of Chicago's twenty-eight Douglas Park and 24th street, huge grain elevators is 28,675,000 another branch reaches Humboldt bushels. The separate capacity of Park in the northwest of the city, these elevators is from 500,000 and the other branch is generally bushels (the smallest) to 2,000,000 ELE-EPI 78 (the largest). They are located in close proximity to the river and rail¬ roads, enabling vessels and cars to . load and nnload direct. These hnge structures can scarcely he regar ded as ornamental, but they serve a most useful purpose—and to that purpose, as much, if not more than any tiling else. Chicago may atiribute her mar¬ velous growth. Some of the larger elevators cost $500,000, and 12,000.- 000 feet of lumber was consumed in their construction. They are about 155 feet in height and as many in length. It requires 100 employés to run a grain elevator, and 1,0U0 horse¬ power engines, costing $50.' 00, to drive the ponderous machinery. The " marine leg," a feature of these ele¬ vators, is a device ninety feet in length, vertical, consisting of an end¬ less belt in a movable leg, to which belt are attached buckets capable of carrying eighteen pounds each. The elevator is carried on guides, and will lift sixty feet, taking grain from the hold of the largest vessel at the rate of 10,000 bushels an hour; with the ''marine leg," vessels holding 50,000 bushels are unloaded in five hours. One of these elevat'TS loaded a propeller with a cargo consisting of 95,000 bushels of corn, in one hour and twenty-five minutes. Englewood.—A former suburb of Chicago, now within the city limits, and an integral part of the metropolis. Englewood is south of the old limits (39th St.), on the C., R. I.& P. Ry. (station at 62d St.) and on the C. & E. I. R R. (station at 63d St.). Episcopal Churches.—The fol¬ lowing is a list of the names and locations of those in Chicago: Bishop of Diocese of Chicago, Rt. Rev. William E. IiIcLaren, D. D., D. C. L.; office, 18 South Peoria Street; residence. 255 Ontario Street. All Saints', 757 North Clark Street. All Saints', Ravenswood. Cathedral SS. Pet dash it upon the flames. Never admit strangers until the arrival of the police. First Baptist Church,—This is one of the oldest churcii organiza¬ tions in Chicago, dating back to October 19, 1833, when the Rev. Allen B. Freeman, who was its first pastor, organized it with only fifteen m mbers. The edifice occupied by the congregation of this church to day, is o le of the handsomest pieces of church arciiitecture in the city. Rev. P. 8. He ison, D. D., is pastor. The church is located on South Park Avenue, corner Thirty- first Street. First Methodist Episcopal Church would be a very dilB- cult one to find, if the stranger who desired to attend services started out to loi >k for the usual style of build¬ ing indicating a church edifice. In 185Î the congregation erected a business block in the very heart of the city, Clark and Washington streets, devoting the ground floors to stores from which nhey receive a handsome revenue, and using the upper portion as their church, except a small part devoted to offices, which brings them an additional good revenue. 91 FIR—FOR First Presbyterian Church, ■with its graceful spire, is another of the striking pieces of church archi¬ tecture that are to be seen in Chicago. This church was organized in June, 18ii3, by the Rev. Jeremiah Porter, with twenty-six members. To-day it is one of the most popular and extensive church organizations in the city. The charity work emanating from its members, particularly through its lady members, is felt in many quarters, especially in the Presbyterian Hospital, an institution that all churches of this denomina¬ tion take great pride in. The First Church is located on Indiana Ave¬ nue at Twenty-first Street, and the Rev. John H. Barrows is pastor. Fishing.—Good angling is almost restricted to the lake, where about the only fish to be caught is the yellow perch. Within easy distance, however, are many rivers abounding in finny prey, and fishing excursions are quite numerous. Fishing Clubs.—Most of the fishing organizations of Chicago are also .sliooting clubs. Of those which devote much of their attention to angling, may be mentioned The English Lake Hunting and Pishing Club, headquarters at English Lake, Indiana; Fox Lake Shooting and Fishing Club; Fox River Fish and Game Association; Minneola Fishing Club, headquarters at Fox Lake; and the Union Fishing and Shooting Club, also with headquarters at Fox Lake. Floating Hospital Associ¬ ation.—Provides lake excursions for sick children and others of the poor. F1 o ■w e r s.—Street venaers of flowers are to be found located at prominent and frequented spots along State Street, Wabash, Michi¬ gan, and other avenues. In summer, when flowers are plen¬ tiful, and consequently low-priced, children with a board full of nose¬ gays and boutonniers infest the street corners, vending their wares for five cents a bunch. In winter, however,, the price of boutonniers is increased to ten cents. Florists' establishments are to be found in numbers in the principal South Side business dis¬ tricts. Most of the florists act as middlemen, purchasing their flowers from the growers and arranging them in order. The price of flowers varies very much with the seasons, being as a rule cheaper in June and most expensive at holiday time, when the demand is greatest. Bouquets command an average price from $3 upward, and baskets from $5 up¬ ward. Window gardening has been increasing in popularity during the last few years, and the result is a vast improvement in the general appearance of the city. Window boxes full of bright, fresh green, relieved by bits of color, now flourish in front of the principal hotels and restaurants as well as many private houses. The prettiest boxes are those made of tiles set in a frame of dark wood, which may be had at very reasonable price. Frequently plants can be purchased at the Hay- market (which see). Forest Home Cemetery is lo¬ cated about nine miles west of the City Hall, on Madison Street, on the bank of the Desplaines River. It contains eighty acres, and was once a pleasure resort park. It is beauti¬ fully situated and laid out with ex¬ ceptional taste. This cemetery joins Concordia Cemetery, and the inter¬ ments in both now number about 15,000 Take train at the Grand Central depot via the Chicago & Northern Pacific Railroad. FOR—FOR 92 Fort Dearborn.—An irregular shaped pyramid of hewn logs, cov¬ ered with a gray coating of dust and festooned with cobwebs, piled be¬ neath a frame shed in Jackson Park, is all tliat remains of the oldest and most liistoric house in Cliicago. The rougli square timbers, witli the marks of the pioneer woodman's ax yet u|)on them, once made the officers' inches square by the gallant troopers of Company F, Third United States Infantry, Captain Hezekiah Bradley commanding. The stockades—tl)ick, heavy, pointed wooden paling.s—had been set round about the new fort. The block-house, with its quaint,over¬ hanging upper story and windows that served also for port-holes, was completed and stored with pi o visions Fort Dearbors. quarters of old Fort Dearborn. The trees from which tliej^ were hewn grew along the North Shore, where now stand the palatial residences of some of Chicago's wealthiest citizens. The house was built in 1816. The beeches, and poplars, and oaks which composed its walls were chopped down and hewn into beams eight against a siege by the murderous Foxes and Pottawatomies. The bar¬ racks and officers' quarters were pre¬ pared and fitted up with such furni¬ ture as the wild prairie camp af¬ forded. This was the second Fort Dearborn. The first had been burned by the Indians after the awful mas¬ sacre of 1812, when half the garrison 93 FOR-FOR and all the non-combatants, includ¬ ing women and children, were mur¬ dered on the Lake Front at a point about whei'e Twelfth Street now is. There, amid the tangled swamp-grass and the bushes, half buried in the sand drifts, the bodies, or rather hone-, of the massacred lay till Cap¬ tain Bradley and his men came thither in 1816 and gare the remains decent burial. The fort was the center of the social life of the settle¬ ment in those days, and the oflicers' quarters were the focus, so to speak, of the fort Many a pleasant even¬ ing was pas.sed within the walls formed by the pile of logs now awaiting architectural resurrection in Jackson Park. The guests were men and women whose names have become historical iu Chicago. Jean Baptiste Beatibien and Iiis sons and daughters, John Kinzie and his family. Jonas Clybourn, Dr. Van Vonrliis, Gonlon I. Hubbard, An¬ toine Decham])s. Antoine Quillette, and 01 hers i)f Chicago's first families. Within sight of that fort the Indians slaughtered many a prisoner, until the banks of the Chicago reeked with the set lers' blood. Within the small rooms formed by these logs were gathered. May 18, 1831, a frighteneil, cowering crowd of women and children. These had fled iu mortal terror from the outly¬ ing settlements to escape the toma¬ hawk and .scalping-knife of Black Hawk's muideious band of red¬ skins. It was just after the awful massacre by the savages at Indian Creek, and a friendly Pottawatomie gave the setders of Ñaperville warn¬ ing that the scalping parties were almost upon them. All fled to Fort Dearborn, the women and children in wagons, the men following at a considerable distance to repel the savages, should an attack be made. In this old house, too, Gen. Winfield Scott had his headquarters during the fearful month of July, 1831, when the cholera broke out among the troops in the fort, destroying ruthlessly those whom the fortunes of the Indian wai fare spared. From the narrow windows General Scott saw the dead borne by the dying to the temporary graveyard on the lake shore, at wnere Madison .^trcet would now meet the water, were it extended to the shore. The fort was occupied by officers, soldiers, and Indian agents until May, 1837. After that date it was no longer u.sed as a military post. In 1857, the grading of a street necessitated the removal of the old fort. The re ic was purchased by Judge Henry Fuller, who removed it to a idace, then far in the country, but now known as the corner of Thirty-third and State .streets. Here the building was re-erected and for a long time ■served the purpose of a store. In 1887 the house was purchased by Ossian Guthrie, Henry E. Weaver, and Warded Guthrie, and by them pre.sented to the South Park Com- mi,ssioners, upon condition that it be removed to South Park and pre¬ served. In time it will be re-erected in the park named. Fort Sheridan.—The labor troubles of 1886-7, which resulted in many disturbances and several riots, caused many of Chicago's prominent citizens to petition the general Gov¬ ernment to establish a military post near the city. It was desirable to have a sufficient force which could be summoned in case of emergency. The result of the movement in ( hi- cago was the purchase of 500 acres of land located on the Milwaukee division of the Chicago & North¬ western Railway, twenty-five miles north of the city. This splendid tract of valuable land was paid for by voluntary subscriptions and pre¬ sented to the National Governmant, FOR—FRU 94 on condition that a permanent mili¬ tary post be established on it. The Government accepted tliis proposi¬ tion, a provisional camp was erected within a few weeks, and two compa¬ nies of tlie Sixth Infantry were sta¬ tioned there. Since then a number of permanent buildings, officers' quarters, barracks, guard house, mess house, stables, etc., have been erected. Aside from the companies of regular -soldiers, the band of the Fifteenth Regiment is located there. About 600 soldiers are stationed per¬ manently at the fort, the garrison being mostly infantry. The work is now progressing very favorably. The immediate proximity of Lake Michigan, as well as the topographi¬ cal features of the site, make it one of the most desirable forts in America. It will amply repjy a visit. Foundlings' Home is on Wood Street, south of Madison Street, and is a handsome and con¬ veniently arranged structure. It is supported by voluntary contribu¬ tions, and many of the little ones find permanent homes in respect¬ able families. Free Circulating Libraries, —The great Public Library is, of course, the main circulating library of Chicago, but there are several smaller institutions, in various parts of the city, which circulate many books, mostly religious. Among these, the most prominent are; The Union Catholic Library; the subur¬ ban public libraries at Pullman, Ravenswood, and South Chicago; the Athenaeum Library, and the libraries of tlie Illinois Tract So¬ ciety, the International Tract and Missionary Society, and the Lincoln Street Methodist Episcopal Free Library. jurisdiction of t ie Grand Lodge of the Stale of Illinois, which meets annually in Chicago during the first week of October. All ranks and degrees of Ma.sonry have their repre¬ sentatives here. For years the dif¬ ferent Masonic organizations have found homes wherever they could, but the day is close at hand when their temple shall be the landmark for the city (.see Masonic Temple), and all the divis ons of the great army camped in this city, will be s ) represented in the great center as to be easily communicated with. There is no city in the Union where the truths of Masonry have so much in¬ fluence on the thoughts and actions of men as in Chicago, nor is there a city in the world where there are so many Masons striving 10 live up to the precepts- of brotherhood, as inculcated in both the letter and spirit of the teachings and practices of this most ancient and honorable order. The various divisions of this grand army are eager and earnest workers, whether on the walls or in the vineyards. Free Methodist Churches.— The following is a list of the names and locations of those in Chicago: First Church, 49 North Morgan Street. Second Church, Ogden Avenue, near West Polk Street. South Side Church, 5351 Dearborn Street. Milwaukee Avenue Church, Mo¬ zart Avenue, near Armitage Avenue. Free Sons of Israel Ceme¬ tery.—Located at Waldheim, ten miles from the City Hall. Take train at the Grand Central Depot, via Chicago & Northern Pacific Railroad. (See Waldheim Cemetery.) Free Masonry thrives and Fruit Market.—That Chicago is flourishes throughout the whole one of the largest fruit markets in the 95 FRU—GEO •world is evidenced by the amount of fruit handled in a year by her commission men. For last year the ngures were as follows; 1,600 car loads of bananas, 3,000,000 pounds of grapes, 80,000 barrels of cranber¬ ries, 300,000 barrels of apples, 200,- 000 baskets of peaches, 30ü,000 cases of strawberries, 2,u00 barrels of pears, 700 car loads of California oranges, 400,000 boxes of Florida oranges, 70,000 boxes of Jamaica oranges, 10,000 barrels of Mafaga grapes, and about 1,500 cases of Cal¬ ifornia peaches, plums, and pears. F u r n i t u re.—Chicago, beyond doubt or question, is the leading city of the nation in tlie number and varie¬ ty of herfurniture manufactories, and also in the amount both used here and shipped abroad. A dozen or more large factories, employing a host of workmen, are kept busy in turning out every variety of furniture imagin¬ able, ■while over live hundred stores, wholesale and letail, dispose of the product. The skill of the Chicago manufacturers is so well recognized that many neighboriug cities and towns in the lumber districts send their raw material here to be finished and upholstered, and very probably to be shipped back again for sale. Chicagoans when furnishing a house are satisfied with noi hing short of the best and latest styles, and the pl-ain straight-backed chairs, bedsteads, and sofas of our ancestors have given place to a luxuriance in make and finish that would have startled an¬ cient Rome. The furniture business in Chicago is in fact one of the most profitable of all branches of trades. Garden City.—The popular or metaphorical name for Chicago, doubtless originating from the great number of shade-trees, plants, and fiowers, which grow beside the streets in the residence districts. Garibaldi Leeion, meets at Uhlieh's Hall. Gas.—Chicago is still largely de¬ pendent upon gas for illumination. But, little by little, the electric lamps, with their brilliant white light, are replacing the old gas lan¬ terns which bar, ly made darkness visible. The gas companies, startid in competition with the older ones, finally "pooled their issues" in a syndicate, which comprises among its officers some of the shrewdest men in that line in the city. The syndicate is supposed to furnish a gas which, when burned at the ordi¬ nary pressure in a burner consuming five feet an hour, will equal in its light the brilliancy of sixteen sperm candles. But very few among the tens of thousands of consumers know anything about whether the regula¬ tion is complied with or not, but they are satisfied that there are many methods of lighting superior to the illuminating quality of Chicago gas. It is furnished at an average price of $1,25 per 1,000 cubic feet. The syn¬ dicate calculates that the " World's Columbian Exposition," and the natural growth of the city during that time, will require an expen¬ diture of $2,500,000 for construction a'ld improvements. The companies forming the trust are the North Side Company, the West Side Company, the South Side Company, the Con¬ sumers' Company, and the People's Company. The bills for the month, if paid on or Defore the twelfth of the month, are discounted about 16f per cent. This insures prompt payment, and is cheaper than collectors' wages would be. The offices are furnished with samples of gas-stoves, on the principle of in' reasing business by promoting consumption of gas. Geographical Center of Chi¬ cago, etc.—The geographical cen- GEO—GER 9G ter of the present City of Chicago is located at the intersection of Ashland Avenue and Thirty-ninth Street. The distance between North Seventy-tirst Street, lieing tlie northern city limits, and One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Street, being tlie southern city limits, istwenty-fourmiles. State Street has the greatest extension north and south, running from North Avenue to the southern city limits, a distance of eighteen miles. Running east and west. Eighty-seventh Street repre¬ sents the greatest extension of the city limits, with ten and a half miles. Geology of Chicago and Vi¬ cinity.—Chicago is built on a bog, the top of which, consisting of ac¬ cumulated vegetable matter, rested on a sandy sub-stratum. Beneath this is a wet, blue clay, and underneath this a quicksand ; about an average of thirty feel brings us down to oil- bearing limestone, which here and there lias been by pressure pushed to the surface. There have been strong indications of both coal and oil at différent points in and about the city, but no one has had interest enough to follow up these traces. Before the fire. Dr. Patton's Pres¬ byterian Church stood on Michigan Avenue, near Madison Street. It was built of stone taken from a quarry beyond Western Avenue. It was oil-bearing, and in the summer the oil oozed out of the stone, dis¬ colored it, and smelt unto high heaven. In some parts of the city the clay makes good bricks. That taken out of the water and river tun¬ nels is used for that purpose. On the West Side an artesian well raises the water from thirty to forty feet above the surface, showing that its source of supply is located many miles away from the city. "The whole formation is of the later scries, evi¬ dently more or less due to the action of the lake upon its adjacent shores. It seems possible that sooner or later coal and oil will be added to the marketable products of this versatile city. German Ladies' Society has for its object a home for old and needy Germans. German Lutheran Cemetery, located on North Clark Street, southeast corner of Graceland Ave¬ nue. Take North Clark Street cable cars. Tills cemetery is the property of the St. Paul and Emanuel Lu¬ theran churches. German Methodist Episco¬ pal Churches.—The following list gives the names and locations of those in Chicago: Ashland Avenue Church, 485 North Ashland Avenue. Centennial Mission, Lake View. Center Street Church, Dayton Street, corner Center Street. Ebenezer Church, Ullman Street, corner Thirty-first Street. Emanuel Church, West Nine¬ teenth Street, corner Laflin Street. First German Church, 51 and 53 Clybourn Avenue. Maxwell Street Church, 308 Max¬ well Street. Maxwell Street Mission, 553 West Thirteenth Street. Portland Avenue Church, Port¬ land Avenue, corner Twenty-eighth. Wentworth Avenue Church, Went- worth Avenue, near Thirty-seventh Street. Western Avenue Church, Fuller- ton Avenue, corner Western Avenue. German Opera.—German opera companies have frequently played in Chicago, and met with great success, but previous to the erection of the Schiller Theater German drama had no recognized headquarters in Chi¬ cago. The Schiller, however, gives German opera the most magnificent hnrnp in Ampripo if nr»t in 97 GER-GRA. German Society assists immi¬ grants from the Fatlierlaiid in pro¬ curing employment and temporaiy support, and also German residents. Germania Club.—Occupies the magnificent club house at 643 North Clark street, one of the finest struc¬ tures of the kind in Chicago or the west. The Germania Maennerchor, greatest of all German singing socie¬ ties, built the club house, and now most of Chicago's leading German citizens, besides scores of native sons, are active members. Many large entertainments are given in the club house, which is a center of north side gayety. Gold and Stock Telegraph.— Instruments of this company, usu¬ ally termed "tickers," will be found in every broker's office, and in the principal hotels and restaurants, T'hey print the reports of the New York Stock Exchange transactions during the day, automatically, upon a tape. Reports of the arrival ot' ocean steamers, and the result of sporting events of general interest,are also frequently sent over the wires of this line, Graceland Cemetery.—In addition to the natural beauties of the grounds of this cemetery there has been added a wealth of landscape garden ng that displays the work of a master mind in that art. The three lakes in the broad expanse of exquisite scenery, are works of engi¬ neering skill ; they are fed by living springs, besides which there is a mam¬ moth system of water-works that will furnish a full supply through¬ out the entire 125 acres comprised in the grounds. The approach to Grace- land is either by the Lake Shore Drive through Lincoln Park and North Clark Street, by the Clark Street cable, or State Street horse cars, or over the Chicago & Evanston Railroad, whose hand¬ some station (Swiss cottage archi¬ tecture) is at the eastern approach to the grounds. Distance, five miles from City Hall, Pages could be written portraying the marvelous beauties of this noted place, and still other pages referring to the people, prominent in their time, who rest here, and of the rare pieces of monumental marble in the grounds, yet it is enough to say that Grace- land is known to every Ch'cagoan, and to every visitor who appreciates the grand in nature and beautiful in art. Office, 115 Monroe Street, Grand Boulevard.—This beau¬ tiful thoroughfare extends from Thirty-fifth Street south to Fifty- first Street Boulevard, and lies two blocks east of Prairie Avenue, It runs parallel with Drexel Boulevard, b( iug three blocks west of it. The first improvement on the Grand Boulevard commenced at the north boundary in 1870, Kankakee Avenue was widened by^ the addition of 132 feet, taken from the east front in ac¬ cordance with the Park Improvement Act, At Grand Boulevard it is 200 feet wide, including a pleasure drive through the center, sixty feet wide, and traffic roadways on each side. The pleasure drive can only be used for recreation. The improvement of the roadways is in three materials, viz,: asphalt, stone screenings, and Joliet gravel. The boulevard is com¬ pleted as far south as Fifty-first Street, where it enters Washington Park, It is bordered on each side by large elm trees, and is the re-sort of hundreds each day. The expectaiions of the Commissioner have been much more than realized in the eagerness with which the carriage-riding public seeks the boulevards for recreation. This is especially true of Grand Boulevard, which is often crowded for a space of two miles with carriages averaging three abreast. GRA—GIl\ 9» Grand Central Depot, Harrison Street and Fifth Avenue, was begun in October, 18d8, and tlie building was opened for busin' ss December 8, 1891). It is one of tlie flne.st buildings of the Kin I in the world. It covers 3 i acres of ground, having a frontage of 6.0 feet on Fifth Avenue and 226 feet on Harrison Street. Part of tlie structure is seven stories high, and part four. The tower rises 212'^^ feet above the sidewalk, and con¬ tains the second largest bell in the country. Its hammer alone weighs 708 pounds. The dial of the tower clock is 13 feet 6 inches in diameter. The main waiting room is 71 feet wide, 207 feet long, and the ceiling, which is 25 feet from the floor, is supported by two rows of massive marble columns. Floors and wain¬ scoting are of Champlain and Ten¬ nessee mar Mes. The station is pro¬ vided with ladies' parlors, restau¬ rants, bath-rooms, and all modern conveniences.. The train shed is a great arch of corrugated iron and glass, 140 feet wide and 560 feet long. A carriage court, 146 feet wide and 117 feet deep, is one of the features of the depot. Three great stone arches, each having a span of thirty-seven feet, and a height of twenty-one feet, form the entrance to it. 'i'he track platforms are so arranged that incoming and out¬ going passengers are l ept apart from each other. The building is used by the Chicago Great Western Rni.way, the Baltimore & Ohio Railway, and the Wisconsin Central R.R. This de¬ pot is a'so the eastern terminus of the Northern Pacific R R. (see BniX- roads), thus focusing in this magnifi¬ cent structure several of the greatest trunk lines in the world. The Grand Centi-al Depot cost fully $1,000.000. Grand Opera House.— Situ¬ ated on Clark street, between Ran¬ dolph and Washington. This house. one of the best ; nd mi st pr. imi- nent thea'res in Chicago, has main¬ tained its present high reputation for many years. Previous to 1880 it was, as now, under the management of the Hamlin Brother.s, was known as " Hamlin's Theatre," and was con¬ ducted on a scale of popular prices. In September, 1880, the theatre was given the name of " Grand Opera. House," and wasdedicated by Emma Abbott, in her favorite drama, '■ Ti e Child of the State." The Grand, under its able mana¬ ge rs, has become a recognized home both for the legitimate drama and for refined comedy. It is a strictly first-class house in every respect, equipped in the most modern style, and with all appointments and fur¬ nishings of the most rich and luxuri¬ ous variety. The seating capacity is 1,820, and is generally taxed to the utmost. The proprietors, Messrs. Hamlin, rank among Chicago's most prominent business men. ' Grant Monument.—The new colossal equestrian Grant Monument is in i i s place overlooking Lake Michi¬ gan from Lincoln Park. It will be visi¬ ble for many miles on the water on clear days. It appears at the very entrance to the park along the shore boulevard to land folk approaching from the south. Foliage all but hides it from the interior of the park. From the north it does not appear until the observer is within a thou¬ sand feet. On clear mornings it is brilliant between the rising sun and the deep blue of the sky, against which it is so conspicuously silhou¬ etted. The masonry foundation, which has been in place for some time, and which is more appropriate for a viaduct than for statuary, serves at least to give it eminence and security. It is the work of Re- bisso.of Cincinnati; a gift to the park trustees by a number of citizens of 99 GRA—HAG Chicago. This expensive work is open to serious criticism. The group of horse and man is stolid; it isa gigantic product of mechanics; it is a foundry marvel; it will attract attention; it will arouse curiosity; it would be indeed a pleasure were it possible to add that It will insure admiration and inspire delight. Its virtues and merits are alike set upon a hill; neither can be Hack Fares.—Persons wishing to escape either imposition by, or a wrangle witii,the driver at the end of a journey, will do well to have a dis¬ tinct understanding with the latter, before entering the hack, about the amount to be paid, as the Chicago hack-driver is never content to accept the legal fare until convinced that he will get no more. If this precaution is not taken the next best thing to do Grand Pacific Hotel, Clark and Jackson Streets. concealed. One virtue it possesses. The rider sits squarely and with ease, and there is life in the modeling of the attitude above the saddle up to the head. That is the most that can be said of it. It might as well be any other cavalryman as Grant. The modeling in most details is crude and unscientific, and, in his efforts to create a Colossus, the mod¬ eler has failed of.truth to nature. is to consult the table of legal fares on page 100, a copy of which should be posted in the hack, together with the number of the license and the owner's name and address. Having done this, and figured out the sum which the driver is entitled to, tender it 10 him,and if he declines to take it, refuse to pay him any more, but call a policeman, who will effect a legal settlement. Carriages and HAC-DAC cabs are found at the various rail- rnad depois on the arrival of trains, and at the principal hotels. Before your train reaches tlie city you will be approached by a number of uniformed agents, who will, if you desire it, take up your railroad bag¬ gage checks, giving you a receipt . for the same, and undertake to deliver your trunk to any hotel or any part of the city within the old limits for 50 cents. Ea( h additional trunk 35 cents. For 50 cents addi- ti'iial be will give you a ticket which will entitle you to transfer by omnibus to any other railroad depot, or to any hotel in the center of the city. There are several reputable transfer companies in Chicago, whose agents may be trusted fully. Hack and Cab Rates.—The rates are established by city ordi¬ nance, and are as follows; "The following is the ordinance as pa-"sed April 23d, 1896.

Hand-Ball.—The game of hand¬ ball, as a winter diversion, is becom¬ ing extremely popular in the city, especially among base-ball players, who find it an unequaled exerci.sc to keep the muscles in good condition. McGurn's Court, on the North Side, and Kennedy's, on the South Side, are the best hand-ball courts in the city. Harbor.—The Government har¬ bor, when completed, will include a sheltered area sixteen feet in depth, covering 270 acres, with communi¬ cating slips along the lake front covering 185 acres, making a total of 455 acres; this is in addition to the river, with which the outer harbor communicates. There is also an ex¬ terior breakwater one-third of a mile HAH—HAY 104 north of the end of the North Pier, so situated as to protect vessels enter¬ ing the mouth of the river. The length of this outer breakwater will be 5,436 feet, of which 8,136 feet have been completed. T he North Pier, mea.suring from the outer end of the Michigan Street Slip, is 1,600 feet long and extends 600 feet be¬ yond the easterly breakwater, which latter, beginning at the outer end of the Soul h Pier, extends directly south 4,060 feet, and is a distance of 3,300 feet from the present shore line south of Monroe Street. A channel 800 feet wide intervenes be¬ tween this and the north end of the southerly breakwater. This latter breakwater continues for a short distance due south, then turns at an angle of 30° and extends in a south¬ westerly direction to within 1,550 feet of the present shore line, and 550 feet from the dock line. This break¬ water is 3,950 feet in length. There is a lighthouse on the shore end, and a beacon light on the end of the easterly breakwater. The Life Sav¬ ing Station is at the lake end of the northern-most railroad wharf, direct¬ ly adjoining the South Pier. Boats run from the lake shore, opposite Van Buren Street, to these break¬ waters during the summer months. At present this is only a harbor in name so far as the shipping is con¬ cerned. Nearly every vessel that enteis this port seeks the piers along the various branches of the river. These river branches have their ramification through the city, and in consequence the shipping is strung out for many miles, presenting an insignificant appearance, but in the aggregate it is greater than that of any port in America. The river is cramped and totally inadeijuate for the vast commerce that threads its way through the murky, filthy chan¬ nel. The proper place for the ship¬ ping interests is within the harbor. and sooner or later it must come to this. When this revolution is ef¬ fected, Chicago will present a harbor scene thajt can scarcely be rivah d in any part of the world. The irritat¬ ing nuisance of swinging bridges would be abated and, w bile it would make the lake front portion of the city undesirable for elegant hotels and aristocratic residences, the prop¬ erty would be enhanced in value for pui poses of shipping and commerce. This one great mistake of using ttie i' significant river instead of the grand lake front for shipping pur¬ poses, must be rectified, or Chicago will suffer from a condition that is utterly ridiculous and consti¬ tutes the greatest nuisance possible for an enlightened people to tolerate. The Haymarket Theatre— This modern temple of the drama is situated on the north side of West Madison Street, just east of the inter¬ section of Halsted Street. It was built by a stock company in '87 for Mr. William J. Davis, its present lessee and proprietor. It is ihe larg¬ est and most comfortably arranged theatre in the city, and has greater exit space than any other. Its dimen¬ sions on tlie g ound are 93 by 120, and this great width gives it the very best audience room possible for general theatrical purposes. It has a stage fifty feet deep, ninety feet wide and seventy two feet high, and the best furnished and most comfort¬ able dressing rooms of any theatre in Chicago, if not in the United States, its audience room is divided into orchestra, orchestra circle, dress circle, balcony circle, family circle and boys' gallery, having one more tier than any other theatre in the city. Its prices are arranged on what is known as the popular scale and are scheduled from 15 cents in the boys' gallery to $1.50 in the Turkish chairs that are found in the lOö HAY-HAY orchestra proper. It has eight very- large private boxes on the orchestra floor and six on the balcony floor, and this double capacity of sitting- room accommodates 3,4")6 persons. With the available standing room the Haymarket easily accommodates up-ward of 3,000 people, and on occasions -when the theatre is crowded, the sight is something worth traveling many miles to see. But it is not alone in the admirable arrangement that it excels. Mr. Davis has presented, since the open¬ ing of the theatre, a round of the mo^t popular attractions of the age. It has been his aim to present to his patrons every style of legitima'e amusement, ranging all the way from vaudeville to grand opeia, and what is most remarkable in connec¬ tion with such a diversified bill of amusement, he has never changed the prices which he established on the original opening of the theatre. Another saiisfactory feature of the Haymarket is its magnificent foyer and staircase, both of which are situated in the building in front of the theatre proper. The foyer is magnificently furnished, its marble floors being covered with heavy Oriental rugs and its walls decorated with photographs of the leading theatrical lights of the age. It is forty feet square and is surmounted by another foyer off the balcony, of the same dimensions, to which the grand staircase mentioned above leads. The vestibules leading from the street to this foyer are twenty- four feet wide, and are finished in marble with marble panels and handsomely frescoed ceilings. The color treatment of the Haymarket Theatre is unique and original. Commencing with old Indian red in the carpets, the same treatment is carried into the walls and ceilings. The ceilings are dotted with electric lights that are ingeniously worked into the design of decoration. The only relief to this color is the light blue silk plush curtains of the boxes, and the copper brnnze that is used for the high lights in the decoration and around the columns which sup. port the balcony and family circle. Mr. Will Davis is the lessee and proprietor. Mr. George A. Fair the business manager, and Mr. Sam W. Pickering the treasurer of the thea¬ tre. All Madison Street cable cars pass its doors. Haymarket Massacre.—West Randolph Street passes directly through the former site of a West Side market now forming the cele¬ brated Haymarket Square. At the intersection of Desplaines with Ran¬ dolph Street stands a bronze figure of a policeman in full uniform, with the right hand upraised. On the polished granite pedestal is carved this legend: "In the name of the people of Illinois, I command peace." The grateful citizens of Chicago erected this monument in memory of the brave officers who, defending the law, sacrificed life and health, and whose cowardly assassination sounded the death- knell of anarchy in this city and country. The tragi dy did not take place in the square itself, but out¬ side of the northeast corner, where the anarchist speakers addressed the crowd from a wagon standing near Crane Bros.' steps, on the night of May 4, 1886. The city authorities, fearing the effect of the inflamma¬ tory speeches, and the unreasonable denunciations of those in authority, ordered six companies of policemen from the Desplaines Street police station to disperse the mob. The police came on at quick¬ step, in close order, by companies. When close to the wagon, tiiey halted, and the commanding officer "read the riot act," in the now HEA—EET 136 memorable words upon tbe monu¬ ment. Hardly was the utterance finished when, in defiant answer, the dynamite bomb, hurtling through the air, fell between the second and third companies of policemen, kill¬ ing, or wounding fatally, seven po¬ licemen, besides seriously injuring marv others. The sneaking thrower showed his cruel cowardice by en¬ dangering the women in the crowd, as well as his own friends. It is not known how many of the mob the bomb slew, for, following the cus¬ toms of the savages, whose blood- thirstiness they imitated, they car¬ ried away their dead and wounded, quietly burying all as soon as they were fit, lest evidence accumulate against themselves. The ring-lead¬ ers, Fielden, Spies, Engel, Lingg, Neebe, Schwab, and Fischer were arrested. The Arbeiter Zeitung ofiice, on Fifth Avenue, was searched, and proved to be an arsenal of dynamite, arms, bombs, and infernal machines. Bombs were discovered in lumber¬ yards, under sidewalks, and in the homes of anarchists. Parsons, like the coward he was, got away, and then tried to bulldoze the people of Illinois into an acquittal by a sensa¬ tional surrender. These "apostles of unrest," and refugees from the laws of their native lands, were given ample opportunity to prove any extenuating circumstances. They could offer nothing but a de¬ mon-led desire for blood, and an in¬ sane craving for notoriety. The sentence voiced the sentiment of the whole American people, who really were the jury in this cause celebre. Nothing stayed the hand of justice, nor the coming of the 11th day of November, 1887, appointed for exe¬ cution. The "tiger anarchist," Lingg, blew his head off with dyna¬ mite. Parsons, Spies, Engel, and Fischer died on the gallows. Fielden, Schwab, and Neebe went to the penitentiary, tbe first two for life. The executed defile Waldheim Cem¬ etery, where those who seek chao% hating peace and harmony, make pilgrimages to air their obstinacy. Health Department. — Head¬ quarters, basement of City Hall. Heath Club is composed almost entirely of Scotchmen, who meet for literary and social enjoyment at 153 Clark Street. Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery, located a short dis¬ tance south of Graceland Cemetery (which see). It may be reached in the same manner. Hegewisch.—This is a manu¬ facturing village of 3,000 inhabi¬ tants, situated in the forks of Calumet River, which offers the very best advantages for the location of other factories. The river furnishes abundance of water sufladently deep to fioat the largest lake vessels. Hermosa.—This neat suburb is just one mile beyond Humboldt Park, on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.Paul Railway. It has rapidly filled up with residences and manufactories. It is within the city limits. Heterodox Congregations.— If there is one thing more than an¬ other upon which Chicago people pride themselves, it is their liberty to think, untrammeled by all the lines of old, musty thought, and especially if crystallized into creeds. This feeling has led to the separation of two broad-minded clergymen from the sects to which they belonged and the establishment of independent congregations, who have hitherto well maintained themselves in the relations of pastor and people. 107 HEX—HOL Professor Swing was, after due trial, adjudged a heretic by the Presbyterian Church authorities, and his relations therewith sundered. His friends, comprising nearly all his congregation, and many out¬ siders, at once organized and rented Central Music Hall, where for years he has preached Sundays to an ever-increasing membership of the Central Church, who believe in the broad philanthropy of universal brotherhood, unlimited by credal bounds. Rev. H. W. Thom.\.s occupies the same position toward the Meth¬ odist Episcopal Church as is held by Prof. Swing to the Presbyterian Church. He preaches every Sunday to the People's Church at the Chicago Opera House. Kev. Dr. Thomas is a magnetic speaker, of wonderful power.and alsoa thinker of advanced and liberal thought. He is beloved by all his people, and, with Professor Swing, marks a new era in the church organizations of the world. High Schools.—The largest of the Chicago high schools is tlie West Division at the corner of Ogden Avenue and Congress Street. This school is attended by 1,200 pupils. Next in size is the South Division, State and Twenty-sixth streets, with 600 pupils; third, the North Divis¬ ion, Wells and Wendell streets, at¬ tended by 500 students. The other high schools of the city are North¬ west Division, English High and Manual Training School, and the formerly suburban high schools at Lake View, Hyde Park, Englewood, South Chicago, and Lake. Historical Society, The Chi¬ cago, located corner of Dearborn Avenue and Ontario Street. This most important society was organized April 24, 1856. It was in a flour- iriiing condition at the time of the Are but all of its valuable possessions were consumed at that time. The entire collection, including over 100,000 books, manuscripts, etc., with many fine oil paintings, per¬ ished; also the original draft of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclama¬ tion. The institution, however, has partially recovered from this sad blow. It now has a library of 16,000 volumes, 40,000 pamphlets, and in addition a valuable collection of manuscripts and portraits. The society is about to erect a new build¬ ing from a liberal fund provided for that purpose. Visitors courteously received. Holidays.—Upon the six legal holidays, the banks, and the public and Government otlices, are obliged by law to close, and business through¬ out the city is very generally sus¬ pended. The names and dates of these are: Christmas, December 25; New Year's Day, January 1; Wash¬ ington's Birthday, February 22; Dec¬ oration Day, May 30; Independence Day, July 4, and Thanksgiving Day^ appointed annually by special procla¬ mation of the President of the United States, and usually fixed for the last Thursday in November. The fes¬ tivities occurring upon these days are almost entirely of a family char¬ acter. A very general interchange of presents among near relatives and friends, and the discussion of a good dinner, form the traditional pro¬ gramme for Christmas, religious ser¬ vices being held, as a rule, only in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches. On New Year's the quaint old Dutch custom for the men to pay visits to all their lady friends, while the ladies remain at home to receive them and proffer hospitalities, is observed among certain classes of society. Washington's Birthday passes quite without, special obser¬ vance, but Decoration Day now HOL—HOO 108 receives marked attention. It is set apart in memory of the men who have died in the active service of tlie United States, and was instituted after the Civil War. A procession,in¬ cluding the main military display of the year, and vans loaded with flowers, proceed to the adjacent cem¬ eteries, and they decorate the graves of the soldiers buried there. The Fourth of July,as Independence Day is now gt nerally called, was formerly marked by a gr.ind military displaj"^ and the free use of gunpowder and finiworks. The demoralizing effects of the heat upon the .soldiers, and the number of fires resulting from the careless use of explosives, has led partially to the abandonment of the former and the prohibition of the latter. However, the Mayor's procla¬ mation prohibiting the use of fire¬ works, usually proves a dead letter. As many persons as can do so usually leave the city on that day, which now differs little on the public streets from any Sunday. The observance of a day of thanksgiving is of Puritan origin, and religious services are generally held in the churches. Family reunions and the most bountiful feast of the year, are its other traditional observances. Home for the Aged.— This institution is under the management of the Little Sisters of the Poor, and is located at the corner of Throop and Harrison streets. It provides a home for men and women over sixty years of age. Home for the Friendless, Wabash Avenue and Twentieth Street,provides assistance for worthy women and children in indigent cir¬ cumstances. The grounds and build¬ ings are extensive. Homeopathic Medical Col¬ lege owns and occupies a hand¬ some building which is located on South Wood Street, corner of York Street, within a stone's throw of the Cook County Hospital. The institution is one of the substantial educational establishments in Chi¬ cago, giving a practical and thorough course of training to its students. Its coqDS of in.structors includes repre.sentative practitioners who stand high in their profe.ssion, not alone in t. hicago, hut who are known favorably throughout the medical world. Powers Theatre—(Late Hoo- ley's'J heatre. In the tear 1870,- Mr. R. M.'Hooley—familiarly known as "Uncle Dick"—became propri¬ etor of Bryan's Hall, standing where the Grand Opera House now is. On January 2, 1871, he opened with Hooley's Minstrels, which had a suc¬ cessful run. The autumn attraction was Giocometti's tragedy, Elizabeth, but when October 9th arrived, the fire had left the city and Hooley's in ruins. By the middle of October, lb72, Hooley's new theatre was finished on the present site—Ran¬ dolph Street, opposite the City Hall. It IS 112x65 feet, and the auditorium is 67x65 feet, 65 feet high, and the stage 66x45 feet. The grand hall¬ way leading to the foyer entrance is twenty feet wide, while the interior is both comfortable, cozy, and taste¬ fully decorated, with twelve richly upholstered private boxes. Many prominent in dramatic and operatic art have appeared here, and many popular attractions, authors, and ac¬ tors here received their introduction to fame; from here Robson and Crane started their brilliant combination; so, too, Adonis, with Dixey in the title rôle. It was through Mr. Hooley's efforts that the piece was first presented. He saw its worth; its phenomenal success proves it; Bartley Campbell, the brilliant author, also dates his success as a 109 HOO-HOS playwright, from Hooley's. This house is specially ventilated with patent ventilators and smoke-escapes, and as the proscenium is principally cast-iron, it is therefore practically fire-proof. Light opera and high- grade comedy hold reign at Hooley's, l\lr, Ilarry .1. Po« • rs is the Mana¬ ger of this popular theatre. Hopkins' Theater —Situated on State street, south of Congress, oc¬ cupying the building where the Peo¬ ple's theater formerly stood. Col. John D. Hopkins, proprietor and manager. The house has been in existence only five years, but has built up an enormous patronage through its system of a strong stock company, presenting the best of dramas, with vaudt« ille numbers between the acts of the plays. Up to the time Col. Hopkins, who was for years a well known road mana¬ ger, took the house, it was considered "a hoodoo" and theatrical men feared to invest their money in the place. Col. Hopkins laughed at the idea, rented the house and started at once on a career of almost unex¬ ampled prosperity. Good .custom was attracted to the theater at once. People brought their wives and child¬ ren to the show, and the very first week of business saw the theater upon a paying basis. The business thus established has remained at a high-water mark ever since and the house has paid enormous dividends. This theater's productions have been remarkable for their magnitude.

HOU—HUM 214 House-Hunting.—If you want to hire a house or apartments your easiest way of proceeding is to go to the different real estate dealers, and get their lists of what they have for rent at about the price you want to pay, and then go to the houses them¬ selves, and see which will suit you best. If you know nothing about the neighborhood, are a stranger, and have no reason to trust the dealers' word, you had better make inquiries of the police if there is anything at all suspicious. Having satisfied yourself that the quarters are what you want, don't forget to examine the waterfaucets, closets and traps. It is safe to sign a lease wliere- in the owner agrees to keep the premises in thorough repair. All taxes and assessments, including water tax, are paid by the owners of houses. The only thing you will have to look after in that direction is the gas. Gas companies exact a deposit for each meter furnished by them, which deposit they will re¬ fund when you surrender their re¬ ceipt for the amount. Do not, under any pressure whatever, pay the gas bill of a former tenant. Almost any kind of a house or apartments may be had in any of the residence por¬ tions of the city. Rents vary con¬ siderably, owing to local ion. In some of the ultra-fashionable neighbor¬ hoods a tenant may pay |'3,000 per year for a flue house. Many poor families occupy quarters in unin¬ viting districts, for wliich they pay anywhere from $4 to $10 per mouth. House of Providence, next to Mercy Hospital, furnishes a home for women and girls out of employ¬ ment. House of the Good Shep¬ herd is an asylum for women aud female children. It is a handsome flve-story building, surrounded by fine grounds, at North Market and Hurlburt streets. Humane Society.—The Illinois Humane Society, office No. 43 Auditorium Building, Wabash Ave¬ nue front, was incorporated the 25th day of March, 1809, under the Re¬ vised Statutes of Illinois. The offi¬ cers and Board of Directors consist of thirty members, among whom wili be found the most prominent ladies and gentlemen of Chicago. The society also has a list of honorary members, and a large number of life members, who are elected by the society, and they pay the sum of $100 per year. Active members pay $10 per year. The society employs a number of agents who investigate cases of cruelty, and prosecute the same The manifold objects of this society are: To stop cruelty to childr n; is one of the finest systems of water works, worth more than $'00,000. It provides sterling advantages for the educa¬ tion of the young, both religious, social, and educational. It contains the Rosalie Music Hall, in which all entertainments are held, and which has a seating capacity of 700. Hyde Park is the home of many business men of Chicago on account of its nearness to the city. It has several suburbs. Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, is located corner of West Adams and Peoria streets. It is open to indigent residents of the State. This is an institution that Chicago and the State of Illinois can well be proud of, as the manage¬ ment is of a high order. Illinois Club occupies the prem¬ ises at 154 South Ashland Avenue, and the buildings and grounds are very attractive. The furnishings, decoration, and works of art of the in¬ terior, form a combination of beauti¬ ful surroundings that are very rare, even in so rich a club as the Illinois. Their musical and literary entertain¬ ments are highly enjoyed by those fortunate enough to be present. Ashland Avenue is the fashionable thoroughfare of the West Side. Illinois National Guard.— The militia organizations of the city have always fcen a just source of pride to Chicagoans, for here alone has the National Guard system at¬ tained anything like the standard which was contemplated by the act which created it. The inalienable right to bear arms seems to be dear to the hearts of the people of the city. The report of the Adjutant- General of Illinois for the year 1890, shows the aggregate strength of the Illinois National Guard to be 3,790 ILL—ILL 118 ofBcers and men, and it is declared thiit the organization of the forces was never more effective. Two regi¬ men's of tlie Illinois National Guards, the First and Second, are stationed in Chicago. First Brigadier-General, and Staff.—Headquarters, Second Regi¬ ment Armory, 135 Michigan Ave¬ nue. First Regiment I. N. G.—Or¬ ganized in August, 1874. Foriy- eight men were enrolled at the first meeting. In January, 1875, having grown into .«even companies, the regiment took quarters on Lake Street, adopted its uniform, and re¬ ceived i's equipment of arms from Springfield. On May 13th it made its first public appearance with 520 men in line. From that day to this the First Regiment has enjoyed the utmost popularity. In 1877, during the railroad riots, the regiment twice dispensed mobs at the point of the bayonet, without firing a shot. In 1878 the First removed to its armory on Jackson Street. During the riots of 1886, at the Union Stock Yards and other points in the ciiy, the regiment was called into service to quell disorder. In 1898 the regiment served most cred¬ itably in the Spanish war. New Armory of the First Regi¬ ment is located at the northeast cor¬ ner of Sixteenth Street and Michigan Avenue, reached by "Wabash Avenue cable road. It is perhaps the most massive structure in Chicago. Heavy stone work ri.ses on each of the four sides to the height of thirty-five feet, and is unbroken save by the sally¬ port, through which an army might march company front. This great doorway is in perfect harmony with the whole. An arch in form, it spreads at the base forty feet, and supports a keystone thirty-five feet above the first floor. The massive oak and steel portcullis, suggesting memories of a mediaeval fortress, rests back of the embrasures in the thickness of the walls, protected by firing slots on both sides. Above the stone work the walls are built into battlements, and four turrets at the corners. The windows are narrow, and str- ngthened by steel and iron, being but well-guarded posts for riflemen. An enfilading fire can be directed throughout the force of each of the four sides of the struct¬ ure, and a force entering the ar¬ mory would have absolute protection against everything except heavy artillery. The space covered by the building, 174x164 feet, gave room for a very large drill hall on the first floor. It is surrounded by galleries for visitors. There is also a large banquet hall and a splendid gymnasium. This armory, which is said to be the best building of the kind in the United States, was built by subscription, and will be cared for by a board of trustees. A ninety- nine year lease of the valuable site was the contribution of Marshall Field. This gift is valued at $500,- 000. Battery D, First Artilleey.— Formerly occupied an armory on Michigan avenue, Lake Front, foot of Monroe street. The building was recently torn down by municipal order. Second Regiment I. N. G.— This regiment was organized in 1875. Armories located at "Washington Boulevard and Curtis Street, and 35 Michigan Avenue. This reg¬ iment was originally composed of ten companies, and its first colonel was James Quirk. A few years later, owing to the reduction of the militia by the Legislature, the Second was consolidated with the Sixth battalion, commanded by Col. Thompson. In 1884 he resigned and Col. Harris A. "Wheeler was elected t» the command. From this impor- 117 ILL-ILL tant period in its history, the success of the regiment dates. The regiment is now commanded by Col. Louis S. Judd and is in a thoroughly pros¬ perous condition, with a membership of 950. It is the largest command in the West and is in every sense of the word all that could be desired in the way of a military organization. The band of the Second Regiment num¬ bers ninety pieces, including drum, fife,and bugle corps. It is certainly an organization of the highest efficiency. Chicago Hussaks, a recent mili¬ tary organization, but, perhaps des¬ tined to become one of the most not¬ able in the country. It is strictly private and partakes much of the nature of an elegant club. The new armorj' of the Hussars will he located on Thirty-fifth Street, near Cottage Grove Avenue, a lot 100x230 feet having been purchased for that purpose. This space will be entire¬ ly covered with buildings, which will include a club house, armory riding school, and stables. At pres¬ ent there are forty-one members of the company, each one of whom is the possessor of a handsome horse. In time each member of this company will be mounted on a coal-black horse. Ellsworth Chicago Zouaves. —This one time famous organization no longer exists. Its history dates back to 1856. In that year the National Grand Cadets was dissolved, and Col. E. E. Ellsworth reorgan¬ ized the disbanded company under the name of United States Zouave Cadets. Owing to the popularity of the commander, they soon became known all over the country as the Ellsworth Zouaves. They made a tour of the principal cities in I860, giving their wonderful exhibitions. '1 he members became scattered shortly after the outburst of the Re¬ bellion. Ellsworth was killed on May 24, 1861, by J. W. .lackson, the proprietor of the Marshall Hnuse, at Alexandria, Va. He had heroically torn down a Confederate flag tinit was flying from the roof of that building, and was shot while de¬ scending the stairs. Evanston Zouaves.—An inde¬ pendent, self-supporting military company, organized in 1886 as the "Evanston Cadets." The members are young boys of the best families. When they appear in public they never fail to elicit applause for their skill in correctly performing the drill and intricate maneuvering of the Zouave tactics. Veteran Societies—Chicago As¬ sociation of Union Ex-Prisoners op War, meets third Mondays at Grand Pacific Hotel. Chicago Board op Trade Bat¬ tery Memorial Association meets at Armory First Cavalry Regiment. Chicago Mercantile Battery Veteran Association meets at 4 Lake Street. Chicago Union Veteran Club meets second Mondays at Grand Pa¬ cific Hotel. Danish Veteran Society meets second and fourth Fridays at 432 Milwaukee Avenue. Eighty-second Illinoi s V eteran Society meets first Saturdays at 122 La Salle Street. Mexican War Veterans meet fourth Sundays at 106 Randolph Street, second floor.

Taylor's Battery Veteran As- sociA'i ioN meets at call of secretary, 206 Randolph Street. Twenty-fourth Illinois Vet- ILL—INS 118 eran Society meets first Sundays, 2 p. m., 171 North Clark Street. Veteran Union League.—204 Dearborn Street ; rooms third floor ; open daily ; regular meetings, first Wednesdays. Other Military Organizations. —There are fully 50,000 drilled men in Cliicago outside of the regular military organizations, who are quali¬ fied to take the field as trained sol¬ diers. Many of these are found in the Masonic, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and other secret orders. Immigrants.—Thousands of Europeans annually settle in Chi¬ cago, and hundreds of them arrive every we k over the different rail¬ roads. They seem to fit quietly into the social structure; their fellow countrymen receive them with open arms, and ere long they become part and parcel of the population. As is shown by the census tables, the Ger¬ mans are most numerous among the immigrants; the Irish are a good second, with the Scandinavians, Poles, and Bohemians next in order. There is now considerable immi¬ gration of Italians and Russian Jews, but this will probably be only temporary. Independent Churches.—The following is a list of the names and locations of those in Chicago: Chicago Avenue Church ^Moody's), corner Chicago and La Salle avenues. Central Church, Central Music Hall, State Street, corner Randolph Street. People's Church, Hooley's Theatre. Indian s.—The Pottawatomie tribe were in possession of the country around Chicago in ancient times, although bands of Miamis and Mascoutins often roamed over the same territory. The Potta- watomies were mainly responsible for the Fort Dearborn massacre of 1»12, and lingered in the vicinity of Lake ^Michigan until 1835 or '36, when they went West. Quite a number of Chicagoans, mostly of French nomenclature, have a tinge of Pottawatomie blood, and some of these were, in 1869. claim¬ ants to a division of tlie tribal funds. Many Indians and half breeds, em¬ ployed by circuses and medicine troupes, make Chicago tiieir home. A few years ago there were forty Caughnawaga Iroquois, and several Sioux half-breeds, liviug on Eagle Street, an obscure alley on the West Side. Indoor Ball.—An amusement which is purely Chicagoan, invented by a Chicagoan, and little known outside the city limits, is " indoor base ball." The game was invented in 1888 by George W. Hancock, of the Farragut Club, and has now become a recog¬ nized and leading feature among winter diver-sions. It is played in any hall large enough for the pur¬ pose, with a miniature diamond marked in chalk, a soft ball, and a light bat. All other features are those of the outdoor game. There are 100 organized indoor ball clubs in Chicago, and their games attract thousands of spectators of the best classes. In fact, indoor ball is par¬ ticularly a sport of gentlemen, and especially of club members. Institute of Building Arts is located at 63 and 65 Washington Bireet. The above institute is a free permanent exposition of build¬ ing materials, devices, improvements, and inventions appertaining to archi¬ tecture and its kindred arts, and a bureau of information for the benefit of the general building public. It gives courses of free lectures on architectural subjects, makes tests of 119 INS—JAC building materials and devices, and supports a large library of archi¬ tectural works. It is owned and conducted by the Illinois Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and is under the immediate manage¬ ment of Mr. H. W. Perce, a gentle¬ man of many years' experience in in matters appertaining to architect¬ ure and building. The welfare of the institute is under the direct supervision of a Board of 'Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Chapter. Institution for the Blind.— Chicago has no place for the instruc¬ tion of the blind, but depends upon the State institution at Jacksonville, which is maintained by an annual ap¬ propriation of $120,000. Iris h-A m e r i c a n Club, 90 Washington Street, is the oldest club of the kind in this country; it is so¬ cial and literary in purpose. Irish Cathoh Colonization of the United States is composed of Irish immigrants, and its purpose is their colonization in the western States and Territories. Illinois Theater.—Located on Jackson boulevard, near Michigan boulevard, and occupying the site of the old First Regiment armory. A superb graystone temple of the drama, with every foot of space set aside for theatricai purposes, with no offices or other business enter¬ prises. Completed in the winter of igoo-igoi, the Illinois, managed by Will J. Davis, sprang into a front rank in western theatricals immed¬ iately. It is the spot where the greatest tragedians and the stars of comedy shine at their brightest, and where Chicago's "400" go to be thoroughly amused. Italians.—The •Italian popula¬ tion of Chicago numbers about 10,- 000, largely made up of laborers, rag pickers and fruit venders, who are industrious, economical, and dirty. Most of them will suffer many privations for the sake of sav¬ ing a little money, and though they have a miserable appearance, there are no beggars among them. As a rule they are found in the worst parts of the city. They rarely speak the English language and mingle little with people of other nationalities. They are commonly sober, but when they do become intoxicated, it is nearly certain that they will quarrel, and not rarely, with fatal results. It is a mistake to suppose that the ma¬ jority of organ grinders and stroll¬ ing players which roam the streets are Italians. These nuisances are mostly Germans. Another calling to which our Italians answer is that of waiters in restaurants, a bnsiness for which their natural politeness renders them peculiarly fit. Ascend¬ ing their social ladder we find a host of Italian musicians,music and language teachers, some of whom stand very high in their profession, and others have devoted themselves to literary pursuits or to the higher branches of trade. On South Water Street, asa rule, the large fruit dealersare of this nationality. Jackson Street Theatre. — Chicago is to have a new theatre, modeled on the Eng ish plan, with stalls similar to tho.se in use in the more fashionable London theatret and a concert garden, café, and promenade on the roof of the build¬ ing. The lease for the ground has already been negotinted and tumid over to the projectors of the enter¬ prise, and the new place of amu.se- m< nt will be completx d May 1, 1892. Chicago capitalists have secured for JAG—JEF 120 ninety-nine years a lease on the grounds now occupied l)y the old First Regiment Armory, on Jackson ¡Street, just west of the Lelaud Hotel. The Armory Building will he removed, and the new theatre and office build¬ ing will be constructed on the lot, the dimensions of which are 80x160 feet. The building is to be twelve stories high and constructed of iron, steel, terra cotta, and stone. Woik on the new structure was com¬ menced November 1, 1891. The plan of the theatre will be who ly different from any other in the coun¬ try. Its seating capacity will he 1,300, and that portion of the house known in American theatres as the balcony, will, in this theatre, be the ciicle de rigueur, especially arranged for patrons who desire to attend the peiformance in full evening drc.ss. This circle will be composed of pri¬ vate boxes, such as a e seen in the fashionable theaties of London. The arrangement for the parquet seats will be the same as in other theatres. Several perfectly appointed reception rooms for ladies and gentle¬ men, will be located on the main floor. The entrance to the theatre will be a marvel of beauty. The foyer will he circular in form. There will be no gallery, one bal¬ cony only being arranged above the main floor of ttie auditorium. The cone it-gaiden and café upon the roof will be. inclosed with plate glass in such a manner that the h st eff cts may be had at once, and at the same tint'- the plate glass frames wih be so arranged that they may be swung so as to leave the roof free circulation of air. A fine view of Lake Michigan will be had from the roof garden. Aside from the attrac¬ tions of the promenade outside the garden, an electric fountain and tropical plants in profusion will ornament the roof-garden. A fine orchestra will be maintained in the garden, and visitors to the theatre will have the use of the elevators during the intermission, which t\ i 1 be arranged for thirtj' minutes. During the W orld's Fair, waiters of all nationalities will be emplo3'ed in the café. The attractions for the new theatre will bo furnislnd through a stock comjtanj' compo.sed of the best artists of Europe aud America. The location of the new amu.sement enterprise could not have be n better chosen. It will be within a few blocks of the leading hotels of the city, and within eas}'distance of the railway terminals of the bouth Side, including the South Side e'e- vated road, when it is completed. The cost of the building will be no less than $600,000. Another new feature of this thea¬ tre will be the arrangemc nt of a ho.x for the use of representatives of the press ( xclusively, and the apportion- m nt of a room on the main floor of the building for the same purp se. JefPerson Park.—On a beauti¬ ful tract of five and one-half acres, bounded on the north and south by Monr. e and Adams streets, aud on the east and west by Throop and Loomis streets, the city has, sinc" its purchase of Judge Thomas in 1648 for $1,200, expended about $ôO,! 00 in improvements. Although less pretentious than some of 'he larger parks, it is a perfect litile gem, made so bj' the work of accoii.plished arli- sans. Ponds aud fountains, rustic bowers aud bridges, and st ne cas¬ cades, pretiy elevations and depns- sions, and the evergreens and shrub beries, all combine to make it one of the coziest and most delig tful re sorts in the city. Its beauty is heightened by the excellent class of mansions and cultivated grounds which surround it on every side, and of these the presence of the park has, in turn, greatly heightened the JEJí'-JUD value. This park is reached by the Adams Street cars. Jewish Synagogues.—The fol¬ lowing iaal^ of tliB nampg anH In- cations of those in Chicago: Anshe Ernes, 341 Sedgwick Street. Anshe Kanesses Israel, southeast corner of Judd and Clinton streets. Anshe Russia-Pola-Sedek, 519 South Canal Street. Congregation Beth Hamedrash Hack Odosch, 439 Clark Street. Congregation Beth Hamedrash, 134 Pacific Avenue. Congregation Bnai Abraham, southeast corner of Wright Street and Newberry Avenue. Congregation Emmanuel, 280 and 282 North Franklin Street. Congregation Ohaveh Emunah, 386 Clark Street. Congregation Ohaveh Sholom, 582 South Canal Street. Congregation of the North Side, northeast corner of Rush Street and Walton Place. Congregation Moses Montefiore, 130 Augusta Street. Congregation Bethel, North May Street, near West Huron Street.

Sinai Congregation, Indiana Ave¬ nue and Twenty-first Street. Zion Congregation, southeast cor¬ ner of Washington Boulevard and Ogden Avenue. Jews.—The .Jewish population of Chicago is very large, and continu¬ ally increasing. They number, prob¬ ably, 15,000 or more, and are mainly German-Jews, with a sprinkling of Poles and Russians—the latter ele¬ ment now being greatly augmented by immigration. The Jews of Chicago are very prosperous, tlirifty, and mostly ex¬ cellent members of society. Their children attend the public schools and- mingle freely with the " Gen¬ tiles," on equal ground. As a nat¬ ural result, Jew and Christian in Chicago are on terms of excellent friendship, and the Hebrew popula¬ tion is an element of recognized value. John Crerar Library is not yet located. In 1890, John Crerar, a wealthy Chicagoan, bequeathed at his death about $2,000,000 to the crea¬ tion and maintenance of a free pub¬ lic library, which is located at 87 Wabash avenue. Judicial.—Chicago courts have never been accused of any dereliciion from justice, and the enforcement of the law in equity, as interpret< d by the keen intellect and comprehensive knowledge of her judges. Chicago has the honor of having one of her brightest lawyers appointed Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Hon. Melville W. Fuller is an honor to the city, State, and county. The United States Court of Claims, United States Circuit Court, and United States District Court can be reached in Chicago. The Register in Bankruptcy for the Northern District of Illinois resides in Chicago, as does also the United States Com¬ missioner for the Northern District of Illinois. The courts belonging to the county and city are: Appellate Court op the First District op Illinois, meets at room 411, Chicago Opera House Building. Circuit Court op Cook County, meets in the County Building, 'i'erms, third Monday of each mouth. Superior Court op Cook County, meets in the County Building. Terms, first Monday of each month. .TUD-KIN 122 Criminal Court of Cook County, meets in Criminal Court Building, Michigan Street, north¬ west corner Dearborn Avenue. Tei ms, first Mondaj' in each month. County Court of Cook County, meets in room 217, County Building. Terms, second Monday in each month. Probate Court, meets in room 121, County Building. Terms, third Monday in ( ach month. South Division Police Court, Harrison Street corner Pacific Ave¬ nue. North Division Police Court, 242 Chicago Avenue. West Division Police Court, (2nd precinct) West Twelfth Street, corner .Johnson S reet. West Division Police Court, (3d precinct) 19 South Desplaines Street. West Division Police Court, (4th precinct) West Chicago Avenue corner May Street. Kehilath Ânshe Maariv, a new Jewish Synagogue, located at Thirty-first Street and Indiana Ave¬ nue. It cost $110,000, and is a beau¬ tiful structure of the orthodox type of architecture. This eongregation was organized in 1837, with a mem¬ bership of forty. It h is grown and prospered, and is now one of the wealthiest and most influential in the city. Dr. I. 8. Moses is rabbi of the congregation. Kensington, a railroad suburb, on the Illinois Central, fifteen miles south of the center of the city. Kenwood, a portion of Hyde Park, on the Illinois Central Rail¬ road, south of Forty-third Street. It is a beautiful suburb, and is the residence of many wealthy business men. Of all the smaller suburbs of Hyde Park proper, Kenwood is the most aristocratic. The residences are all first-class, many being of imposing appearance. Kenwood Club is the gathering place for wealthy residents, and to belong to it entitles one to a place in Ken¬ wood's liest society. 'The Kenwood Institute is here, and occupies a hand¬ some building. To ri-ach Kenwood take the Cottage Grove Avenue cable. Kenwood Club. — The social center of the suburb of Kenwood, and a family club of high standing. Located at Forty-seventh Street and Lake Avenue. Kinsley's Restaurant.—Kins¬ ley is the Delmonico of Chicago. His establishment is a beautiful piece of architectural con.struction, and was erected in 1885. The style is Moresciue, ¡ífter the famous Alham- bra at Grenada. Few, if indeed any, eities, boast so magnificent a build¬ ing for such purposes. The bay windows, of which there are five, con.sist of copper en repomsé work, with graceful, gilded columns sup¬ porting terra cotta in unique designs, and are set with stained and plate glass. The interior, however, is where the proprietor's fastidious taste has been indulged most. The first floor,devoted to ladies' and gentle¬ men's dining, luncheon, and sample rooms, is decorated in Persian color¬ ings and designs, with the floors laid in English tiling of costly patterns. The second floor is the restaurant and cafe, and is gorgeous in its furnish¬ ings and ornamentation. On the third floor are the select dining-rooms and banqueting - rooms, while the fourth is divided into two grand banqueting rooms, 40x60 feet each. The flooring and wainscoting is done in marble, and the whole interior is on a scale of magnifieence rarely equaled outside of Oriental domains. Such, briefly, is the building and 123 ki:í~lab furnishings, except that two hand¬ some passenger elevators, which are inclosed in ornamental electro-plated bronze basket work, pass up and down at all hours As to the repu¬ tation of the proprietor and his ability as a caterer, ask the fashionable world, the representative business men, the club men, etc., and you will be informed that "Kinsley's" is acknowledged the equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind in America. Kitchen Garden.—The Chica¬ go Kitchen Garden Association was formed in May, 1883. Ladies repre¬ senting many churches organized the association, the work of which was confined to vario\is city nurser¬ ies, but in 18S6 a training school for servants was fitted up for a Kitchen Garden and Cooking bchool, under Central Church mission, on Clybourn Avenue. In 1889 a completely equipped school was established on Wentvvortli Avenue.and March, 1891, the association made an application to introduce cooking into one of the public schools and was granted the use of one room in the Huron Street School, after school hours. Cooking and all household duties are taught, and the managers realizing that they are doing good work, are much en¬ couraged. The number of pupils is increasing, and the growing needs should induce every woman to aid in the noble and practical work. The cry for reform goes up from suffering housewives, and the reform should begin at the foundation, in the homes from which the servants are gathered. Labor Organizations. — Ko city in the Union is so prolific of Labor Unions as Chicago, and for the most part they agree in arbi¬ trating their differences, when any such arise, with their employers. We give a partial list: Brotherhood op Locomotivi? Engineers.—Division No. 10, meets'- at Eighteenth Street, corner State= Street; Division No. 96, at 241 Mil¬ waukee Avenue; Division No. 111,- at 4747 State Street; Division No.- 253, at South .Jefferson Str et, cor¬ ner State Street; Division No. 294, at Western Avenue, corner Indiana Street; Division No. 302, at 3934 State Street.

Labor Statistics of Chicago. —The enumerators for the school census reported a total population in the citj* of 1,208,699 in May, 1890. The number of persons over four¬ teen years was 859,247, representing about 800,000able-bodied individuals at gainful work or household duties.' An estimate of 250,000 fami¬ lies and the great number of female help for families and private board¬ ing and lodging houses, would take about 850,000 females out of the categories of gainful trades, enum¬ erated as employing 407,000 in wholesale, retail, professional, per¬ sonal, and transportation services. This would leave 102,000 adults of both sexes unaccounted for in the enumeration of gainful trades. But there are over 125,000 buildings and several hundred thousand lots owned by the resident population, and a large number of persons hold shares of corporations or earn an income on various investments. This class of bread-winners can not be counted under the tax-law, and their numbers can not be estimated because the standard of expenditures varies with the different nationalities 'which compose the mixed population of Chicago. Italians, Poles, Bohemians, Scandinavians, Irish, English, Germans, and native Americans have different standards of comfort and competence. They begin to leave active business and to live on incomes at different heights of indi¬ vidual prosperity. Frugal living and habits ot extreme peuuriousness and lack of enierprise tend to place large numbers of these wage-working nationalities on the retired lists, liv¬ ing in comfortable semi-idleness on a small income from rents, mortgages, etc., while the English, Germans, and Americans would push forward and risk their capital and exert their working capaciiy in the attempt to increase their possessions and to speculate on futures. Old men are not numerous in factories, work¬ shops, stores, and at the desks of commercial firms, which proves that they earned fair wages during their manhood and were able to save for an old age of leisure. The mere occupancy of town lots enriches the owners in consequence of a great immigration, which imparts a mar¬ ket value to the land and furnishes customers for the middle-class traders. The establishment of great enterprises in Chicago and vicinity furnishes employment to large num¬ bers of working people, and the capitalist sh uld provide suitable dwellings in the neighborhood of the work places to prevent overcrowd¬ ing, and to keep rents within reason¬ able limits. The housing of great masses of working people should not be left to the small lot owners, who are not able to furnish the sanitary arrangements for crowded habita¬ tions. Chicago is one of the great business centers of the globe, and its public-spirited capitalists should aid in improving the common standard of living of the working people who come here from all civilized coun¬ tries. We must, in self-defense, raise the economic and social stand¬ ard of the various immigrant peoples, to guard the integrity of the estab- 125 LAB—LAK lished equality of our whole people. Chicago cannot tolerate any inferior classes, and therefore we protect children by means of compulsory education and by restriction of child labor, and manual training schools will soon be added to the public school system. There were 8,250 manufacturing firms in the city in 1890, employing a total capital of $190,000,000, giv¬ ing work to 177,000 persons. These manufacturers paid in wages during that year $96,200,000. The value of the product was$538.000,000. Man¬ ufacturing is increasing at the rate of 25 per cent, per annum. Ladies' Club s.—There are several women's societies in Chicago, mostly organized for philanthropic purposes. As yet, there is no purely s icial ladies' club of any prominence. Among the best known ladies' organ¬ izations are; The Chicago Women's Clüb, devoted to literary and philanthropic work. Many of the greatest local charities originated with this club, and many others have received valu¬ able assistance from the organization. 'The Fortnightly Club, which meets at the Art Institute, more nearly appro.ximates a social club than any other of the feminine organizations. Literary work and study, is, howevèr, the chief aim of the society. The Women's Suffrage Club meets at the Sherman House, and, as its name implies, is devoted to the advocacy of equal political rights. Lake and River Frontage.— Chicago has a frontage on Lake Michi¬ gan of twenty-two miles and a river frontage of about fifty-eight miles (both sides), 22i4 miles of which are navigable. There are three lakes within the city limits, covering an area of about 4,095.6 acres as follows: Calumet Lake, 3,122 acres; Hyde Lake, 330.8 acres, and that portion of Wolf Lake lying within the city limits,0¿4.8 acres. Calumet and Wolf lakes are navigable. The other lakes have a depth of wai er varying from four to eight feet. Big and Little Calumet rivers penetrate the ex. reme southern part of the city. Lake and River Skipping.— As a maritime center, Chicago is fast gaining in importance. "The lake traflic is enormous, and the river may be justly described as "bristling with a thousand masts." In 1890 there were 388 vessels owned in Chicago, 178 of which were schooners, and fifty-nine pro¬ pellers. Five large side-wheel steam¬ ers were also included in the number. The arrivals and clearances of vessels exceed those of New York by at least one-half; amount to three- fifths as many as the total arrivals and clearances of all the United States seaport towns, and reach one- fourth of the total lake clearances. There were, during 1890, 11,300 arrivals and 11,401 clearances; 8,173,- 000 bushels of grain were shipped to Canada, and 73,349,000 bushels to other ports. Lake Side Club occupies spa¬ cious and elaborately furnished buildings at Thirtieth Street and Wabash Avenue. Lakeside Summer Sani¬ tarium, foot of Twenty-fifth Street, provides nursing and care for infant children of the poor in hot weather. Lake View.—This is a large township extending north from the old city limits. The village is beauti¬ fully laid out in grove lots, on which are handsome residences. It contains the Heering Works, which occupy LAK—LEI 126 forty acres, and the North Side Rolling Mills. Lake View contains St. Joseph's Hospital and the Mc- Cormick Seminary. It is now part of the city. liampB, Street.—The city's electric light system has been ex¬ tended during the past year by erecting and putting in operation an additional plant on the pumping works grounds on Fourteenth Street and Indiana Avenue. At this sta¬ tion there is a capaci y for 850 lights, but at present only 200 lamps are in operation in this district. The num¬ ber of public electric lights last re¬ ported is 1,092, in all. 'The present four plants, with a moderate increase of steam power, have a combined capacity of 9,000 lights. The plants should be utilized by the establish¬ ment of additional lamps as soon as practicable, and the eight districts throughout the city should be sup¬ plied with light stations as rapidly as the funds for the purpose will admit. This modern and superior system of illuminating the public highways affords additional security to travel, and greatly enhances the attractive¬ ness of the streets. It is also an efficient aid to the police service. The total expenditures of the city's electric lights to date are $526,t 184.47. At the close of the year there were, including those on the bridges, viaducts, parks, and boule¬ vards, 1,025 oil lamps, 8,080 gasoline lamps, and 26,236 gas lamps. The oil and gasoline lamps cost the city about $15 each per annum, and the gas lamps $20 per annum. How¬ ever, by a recent contract with the gas company this price will be re¬ duced in the near future to $15 per lamp per annum, and the payment annually into the city treasury of $150,000 by the gas company for the use of the streets. La Salla Club.—A political and social organization of the West Side,, located at 552 West Monroe Street. One of the most prominent and pop¬ ular clubs in the city, with elegant quarters, recently enlarged ai d re- modchd. Law Institute.—The Chicago Law Institute is a most powerful legal society, including nearly every noted lawyer of the city in its mem¬ bership. Its library is one of tke finest of the kind in the world, and is located in the County Building. An insignificant annual fee entitles any lawyer to the privileges of this library, whose works have been se¬ lected with great judgment and due attention to every branch of the legal profession. Lawn Tennis. — The level ground of Chicago and the large yards of the wealthy inhabitants offer ample space for hundreds of tenuis courts, and nearly every avail¬ able plat of land in the residence districts of the upper classes is util¬ ized for the game. There are sev¬ eral tennis clubs, of which the most important are: The Chicago Tennis Club, 2901 Indiana Avenue; the E.xcello Tennis Club, and the North End Tennis Club, besides the tennis organizations fiourishing under the wings of the Ashland, Jackson, and other social clubs. Leiter Building'.—The immense building which Mr. L. Z. Leiter has recent ly erected on State Street, be¬ tween Van Buren and Congress streets, is certainly an imposing edi¬ fice. It was completed in the spring of 1892. The si ructure occupies just half a block, the frontage being 402 feet on State Street and 144 feet each on Van Buren and Congress streets. Its height is eight stories. Its cost was $1,500,000. 137 LER-LEL Leroy Payne's livery stables. No. 167 to 174 Michigan Boulevard, are distinctively the fashionable stables of Chicago, and draw patron¬ age from the local ilite and from the leading hotels. The finest horses, the best equipages, skilled and care¬ ful drivers, and reasonable cha ges have given Leroy Payne a well- earned reputation throughout the land. l,eroy Payne's famous stables are will not attempt to overcharge or take advantage of strangers. Leiand Hotel Mr. W. H. Dil- diae is the popular proprietor. The situation of this house was well selected for a hotel. Fronting on Michigan Boulevard, the fashion¬ able drive of the city, widiin full vieiv of the lake and Lake Park, one could hardly find h more desirable place to be while in considered the best, not only in Chi¬ cago, but west of New York. Hacks, cabs, carriages, and vehi¬ cles of every kind are kep t ever ready to a call, and the horses in the stalls are the most valuable animals of the kind in the country. The drivers employed by the Payne company are trustworthy men, and, unlike the average cabman. the city. The management, how¬ ever, and luxuriant interior, have much to do with establishing the popularity of the Leiand. It is here the guest has every comfort and con¬ venience possible to provide, hence the house receives the patronage of people who expect, and appreciate, being well taken care of. The rates are $2.50 per day and upwards. Leuuid Hotel, Cornee Michigan Avenue and Jaceson Street. LEX—LIN 128 Lexington Hotel.—This mag¬ nificent ten story hotel is iocati d in a fashionable section of the city — northeast corner of Michigan Bou¬ levard and Twenty second biieet. Viewed from an architectural siand- point, the Lexington e isily outrivals any of the more preientious houses in ihe down-town district. The reg¬ ister of this magnificent hos'elry presents many autographs of the notables of this as well as othi r lands. This grand hotel is the acme of excellence in all departments, and the aim and object of the manage¬ ment is at all times to cater not alone to the necessities of its guests, but to their pleasure and comfort as well. A brief sojourn at the Lex¬ ington is calculaied to contribute to the social side of life, and leave im¬ pressions that business places, where the traveling public eat and sleep, will never eradicate. Mr. George B. Ross is the popular proprietor. Library of the Chicago Law Institute is located in the County Court House Building. It is one of the finest legal collections in the United States. Lincoln Park, as a popular sum¬ mer resort, has few rivals in Chicago. It is the one spot to which the in¬ habitants of the north side flock by thousands to escape the summer's scorching rays, while innumerable people from the other divisions of the city also seek the shady dells, broad lawns and rippling lakes. In sum¬ mer, there is rowing on the lagoons, while picnic parties by hundreds flock along the wide stretches set aside as public pleasure grounds. By night, there are concerts, attend¬ ed by vast throngs of people, while the avenues of the park are ablaze with the fairy lights of countless cy¬ cles and carriages. In the winter, the skating attracts the multitudes, and frozen ponds are thick with whirling forms and flashing blades. As a pleasure-spot for the myriads of Chicago, no better location copld have been chosen, where the cool waters of the adjacent lake ever send their breezes across the sweep¬ ing swards of green, and where every prospect is of a more than pleasing character. The park is well tended, kept clean and charming by a numer¬ ous and capably directed force, while the Lincoln Park police are them¬ selves one of the sights of the place. They are a splendid body of mount¬ ed men, efficient to the extreme, po¬ lite and dignified, and immensely popular with all who meet them. Quarrels and brawls are practically unknown in Lincoln Park, thanks to the watchful energy of these oflScers, and no safer or better managed place for peaceful families can be found in all the world today. Lincoln Park is now connected with the great Lake Shore Drive, along which many magnificent resi¬ dences of Chicago millionaires have lately been erected. A drive through the park and up this won¬ derful roadway is a pleasure not to be missed or soon forgotten. Lincoln Park is one of the oldest parks in the system, and when first laid out was just beyond the North Side Cemetery. But after Rose Hill was purchased, the old cemetery was sold to the park authorities, and the dead were re¬ moved to their new home. The present area of Lincoln Park is 250 acres. It is bounded on the west by Clark Street, on the north by Diver- sey Street, on the east by Lake Michi¬ gan, and on the south by North Avenue. It has been under State supervision ever since 1869, when the. 129 LIN—LIN first Board of Park Commissioners ■were appointed. No park, anywhere in the country, of equal size, con¬ tains as many attractions as this. Through the good taste of those in charge, art simply has supplemented nature by increasing her effects. The result has been that there is none more charming in our whole system of parks, than this, the eldest. The elements of its prineipal attractions are: The undulating character of the grounds, the beautiful lakes, the handsome bridges, the brilliant foliage, the graceful winding of the avenues, which curve in every direction, stretching away into dim, delightful vistas, the splendid statu¬ ary, the gorgeous beds, avenues, and banks of siq)erb flowers, the tvonderfully rare shrubbery, the quiet little nooks, dells and knolls, that peep out from a suggested conceal¬ ment beneath the noi)lo trees, and by no means least, the famous zoologi¬ cal collectionforwhicliLincoln Park is especially noted. Here was un¬ veiled, but a few months since, the Grant IMonument, forever to face Lake jMichigan on the Lake Shore Drive. This was Chicago's gift, and cost $100,(100. St. Gauden's statue of Lincoln faces the main entrance. While considered one of the fine.st pieces ( f sculpture in the world, it has the better merit of being an accurate likeness of the famous pre.si- dent. This statue cost .$50,0(i0 and was presented, together with a drink¬ ing fountain, by the late Eii Bates. The late Martin Rycrson also pre¬ sented an " Indian (iroLip" in bronze, and the Ho i. Lambert Tree a mon¬ ument to the explorer La Salle. There is also a monument to Schiller, from the German residents of Chicago. Twice a week during the summer a fountain plays at night, illuminated with colored lights by some mechanical device. It is always sure of a good audience. A 9 new palm-house is the latest attrac¬ tion. It is of steel and glass, pict¬ uresque, airy and light, resting upon a foundation of split granite. The entire length of the building is 238 feet, consisting of a main building 168x70 feel, and an extension in the rear of .sevent}' feet. The lobby in front of the main building is to be 25x60 feet and this is approached by a lobby twenty feet square. The interior of the main building gives an unbroken stretch, save only for a few light, supporting iron colunms for the glass roof. In the rear of the palm house is a conservotory thirty feet wide. A room 30x60 feet Wide at the north end is exclusively devoted to the culture of orchids. An observatory tower of pressed brick and terra cotta trimmings, ornaments this room. The building stands on two terraces, alittleea.stof north of the canal vista, and the animals' summer quarters. The ter¬ races occupy the space due north of the former green-hou.ses, which were removed on the conqiletion of the palm-house. The main approach to the palm-house is from the floral gardens. It is to cost $60,000, Liinne Monument.—The monu¬ ment erected to the memory of Carl von I.innti, the great naturalist, by the Swedish societies of Chicago, was unveiled with appropriate cere¬ monies, May 23, 1891. This monu¬ ment stands at tlie foot of Fullerton Avenue in Lincoln Park, and is an exact reproduction of the famous Linná monument in Stockholm, Sweden. The figure is of bronze, the work of Dyreman, the Swedish sculptor, and was modeled by Gustav Mayer, of Stockholm. It is sixteen feet high, resting on a granite pedestal thirty-eight feet high. The famous botanist is pre¬ sented in the national costume which he wore during his wanderings Lake Shore Drtve, Lincoln Pare. 131 LIN-LUM through the green fields and woods of his native country. In his left hand he holds a book and the Linnm Bor alius, the flower to which he gave his name Lodgings.—The constant ebb and flow of travel to and from Chicago, creates a demand for a groat many furnished rooms. A large number of families in the respectable quarters of the city, whose incomes do not allow of the high rents, by renting out a furnished room or two, succeed in holding their position. This enables all concerned to com¬ bine re isonable price and stylish residence. For a few weeks' resi¬ dence in the city, when one expects to be constantly on the " go," for eit her business or pleasure, this style of living offers the most liberty, with a lower rate of expense than any other method. Lodging Houses.—But there are houses given up entirely to lodgers, here and there, in all the divisions of the city. The lowest class of lodging houses are in the business section of the South Side. Here the tired tramp, or " poor traveler," may sleep all night for a nickel. He who,stranded, friendless, and forlorn, at night is the possessor of 5 cents depreciated coin of the realm, can stumble down into a cellar, and by delivering up his wealth to the stony-hearted proprietor, will be allowed to climb into one of the bunks, ranged tier above tier, on either side of the yawning cavern. Here, with your unremoved clothing for mattress and coverlet, and your arm for a pillow, you can sleep the sleep of the honest poor. But it laye over " moving on" through the streets, from the falling of the night to the breaking of the day. There is at least protection from the weather, if luxurious comfort is not thrown in. In the winter, a red-hot stove in the miadle of the cellar keeps all the guests warm, even if th ■ temperature outside is hovering about zero. In the summertime, the cellar is not over-heated by ex¬ posure to the blazing rays of the sun, and is always fairly cool. No robberies are ever committed in these, cellars, and the reasons are very plain. Before a man chooses this style of lodging he has prob¬ ably put his portable valuables where their care will never more worry him. There are grades even in lodging cellars. So a dime will pay for a bunk, with a straw mattress thrown in. The patrons of the 5-cent ground hotels regard the lodgers at the higher-priced places as "bloom- in' -judes." There are still other houses where a real bedstead, bedding, and covering, may be rented at the uniform price of fifteen cents, with a bowl of soup at night, and a hunk of bread and a bowl of coffee to begin the day with, and it only costs twenty-five cents in some houses for a single room. Generally there is more single than room about it, but the patrons don't kick, and the proprietor grows rich faster than mine hosts of the Grand Pacific and the Palmer House. But it is only aristocrats who squander twenty-five cents for a night's lodging in the "Levee" or "Cheyenne." To most of these patrons of cheap shelter, twenty-five cents includes within its milled edge, three straight drinks of barrel-house sour ma.sh, a free lunch, a cigar, and a bed. But think what we may of the chenp lodging houses, they tire very often as cleanly (if kept by an old sailor, as they often are) and as comfortable as the homes of their patrons. Lumber District.—During the year 1890 Chicago received 1,941,- 3'»3 000 feet of lumber, and shipped 813,650,000 feet; of shingles, 515,- LUM-LUN 132 575,000 were received, and 108,822,- 000 were shipped. This enormous business is carried on in what is known as the "Lumber District." It lies south of Twenty-sec md Street, between Ha].sted Street and Ashland Avenue, its western limits being near the West Side water works. Take Canalport cars. Here is a city, the streets of which are lined with blocks of lumber, aggregating bfll- ioiis of feet, in all forms. Thou¬ sands of men are employed and the scene is at all times interesting and instructive. The facility with which vessels a e load"d and discharged, also cars, is novel to those who are not familiar with this huge industry. liunch Counters.—Perhaps no¬ where is the genuine Chicago spirit of hurry and rush more ch arly re¬ vealed than at the many lunch coun¬ ters of the city. There, at noontime, a crowd, which is characteristic as to numbers, rushes in, quiet and orderly, but fearfully in a hurry, and with more characteristic hurry dispa'ches lunches, the consumption of which averages less tiian ten minutes' dura¬ tion. In no other city of the United States will in.stitutions be found con¬ ducted on just the same principle as these same lunch counters. A h d- low .square of continuous counters; On the inside a huriying, howling mob of white-robed waiters, and across the barri-r an equally hur¬ rying crowd of hungry business men. Every stool is occupied, and behind every occupant stands a pms- peciive luncher, looking enviously at every morsel his predecessor dis¬ poses of. The lunch counter wa'ters are a tribe unto themselves. There are no tips for them, and no chance for in¬ solent indifference to orders. Thi y must be very rapid, accurate, and work for their salaries only. With half a dozen small orders ringing in his ears, the lunch-counter waiter hurls sandwiches, pie, and temper¬ ance drinks at his customers with the ease of a mail-distributor at the post office. He never ^'astes words, and never loses a motion. Every¬ thing counts. But if the waiters are interesting, the counters are doubly so. They repre.sent all classes, from million¬ aires to messenger-boys, and no mat¬ ter what their .station in life may be, their all-consuming desire is to lunch and get away. Occasionally a delib¬ erate man strays into such a lunch- house. He looks around him for a choice seat and deliberately sits down. A waiter charges at him, slams knife, fork, and spoon upon the counter, gasps for breath, and yells, " Whatyougoin' to have,sah?" The deliberate man attempts to or¬ der, with becoming slowness, and by the time he has told the tale of his desire the waiter has disposed of six or eight customers and is back again. Usually the d liberate man goes away hungering. The business done by some of the counters is enormous. One Clark Sireet house feeds 5,000 people every day. Another handles 2,500, and a third modestly attempts to lunch 1,700 hungry men, between sun and sun. The average length of a lunch is between seven and eight minutes, and the average price paid is 15 cents. Thus many of the busi- ne.ss men of the city eat'their noon re¬ past at the rate of 2 cents per minute for less than ten minutes, and go away satisfied. In winter hot cakes, muffins, beans, and that sort of thing, are called for, while in sum¬ mer, bread and milk, fruit, ice¬ cream, and lemonade are the most popular; pie and sandwiches are in demand the year around. Eating- houses of this character are to be found in the immediate vicinity of the Board of Trade, City Hall, and other 133 LUN-LYC busy localities. As a rule, they are orderly and well kept. Lutheran Cemetery, s i t u - ated at the corner of Graceland Avenue and North Clark Street. A very pretty cemetery shared in com¬ mon by the Emanuel and St. Paul churches.

It presents variety performances of the better class, and seats about 1,200 persons very comfortably. T. L. Grenier, proprietor. MAN—MAN 134 Manhattan Building, at 307, to 321 Dearborn Street , is an im pos-' ing structure of no less than sixteen stories. On Dearborn Street the frontage is 150 feet, and oh Third Avenue the same, the depth being' sixty-eight feet. Steel, brick, and terra cotta are the chief materials of construction. The first story is of ornamental iron, the second and third, carved, gray granite, and the remainder light-colored brick, and ornamental terra cotta. There are two large entrances, one on Dearborn Street, and one on Third Avenue, opening into a hallway twenty feet wide, leading to the half dozen or more passenger elevators. The in¬ terior is finished in metal work and marble mosaics. All the window openings are capacious. From the third story to the tenth, the Dear¬ born Street front is varied by three tiers of projecting windows, octag¬ onal in shape, placed over the front entrance. Over the twelfth story a broad band of terra-cotta extends across the entire front, forming a division or base for the remaining stories. The roof cornice is 200 feet above the sidewalk. The building is designed for ofiice purposes, is owned by Mr. C. C. Helsen, and cost $700,000. Manual Training Schools.— The Chicago Manual Training School, which has been in existence since 18>'3, is considered the banner school of the kind in the West, if not in the whole country. The course of education, both mental and man¬ ual, is very thorough ; but the high tuition fees—$300 for the entire course — place instruction in this school beyond the reach of the poorer classes. The Chicago Manual Train¬ ing School is located at Twelfth Street and Michigan Avenue. The Chicago English High and Manual Training School is un¬ der the public scliool system, and, although formerly merely an auxil¬ iary to the West Division High School, is now classed' as an inde¬ pendent school, with a distinctive course of education. The Board of Education contemplates other free manual training schools, and there are several manual schools under the care of various charitable organiza¬ tions. Manufactures.—While Chicago has been expending on all lines, it has never neglected to cultivate its manufactures, and it is rapidly tak¬ ing its place as a large manufactur¬ ing city, based upon its location, and many natural advantages. Well au¬ thenticated statistics show the pres¬ ent number of manufacturing estab¬ lishments in Chicago to be about 2,000, employing between 60,000 and 70,000 men, using a capital of $100,- 000,000, and turning out annually products valued at $210,000,000. These c msist of almost every con¬ ceivable variety of goods. They cen- sume vast quantities of all kinds of materials, the products of which are distributed all over this country, and shipped to foreign lands In this way, employment is furnished to a large proportion of the inhabitants of this section of the country. It pays a large share of the taxes, and constitutes the bulk of the toifflc car¬ ried on by the various lines ol trans¬ portation to and fro through the country. In general, it represents the most important part of the wealth, industry, enterprise, commercial ac¬ tivity, the exchange of benefits and services, not only to its own citizens, but to all mankind. Among the manufactured articles for which Chi¬ cago ."itands preeminent as a manu¬ facturing center, are boots and shoes, beer and ale, block-paving, cloth¬ ing, cotton goods, drugs, butterine, artificial limbs, carriage varnishes. 13Ö MAN-MAS dumb waiters, fancj goods, jéwélryj .nearly ájl tbe immense supply pours hardware, wines and liquors, ^miiii,' ilirpugh a' half dozen blocks "" nery, olenmargerine,, pianos «hd or¬ gans, safety vaults, stoves, and toys. While there may not, be every kind of manufactured'article in Chicago, it is true that you can find every kind of artisan here, who is capable of doing, if necessary, skilled work in any line of manual labor. The me¬ chanics are mostly foreigners, who have learned their trades in the old country. Competent judges assert that the day is not far distant when Chicago will rank first in the market of American manufacturing cities. , Markets.—Chicago is the great market where the northwest dis¬ poses of her products, and to do this she subdivides the different lines which have gradually centered them¬ selves in different quarters of the city. If a dealer wants to buy fruits or vegetables, fresh, canned or im¬ ported, he goes to South Water Street. Here, in the morning, are poured in, during the fruit season, from steamer and car, from the east, the west, the north and the south and the Pacific coast, boxes, barrels, baskets, and crates of all sizes and description, and all full. They are stacked up all over the sidewalk, with just a narrow passage to squeeze through. The visitor says to him¬ self: "Surely some of this perish¬ able merchandise will spoil." But the commission men, who see this act repeated day after day for six months, only smile, and mentally count their gains. Two hours later the street is filled to overflowing with the express wagons of the retail dealers, and by 3 o'clock the whole muss of the daily supply of food for the city has been distributed to the groceries and meat markets all over the city. No city in the Unio i is better or longer supplied with early and late fruit and vegetables, and on South Water Street. ■ gbatn Market.—All the grains, wheat, corn, oats, rye, and buck¬ wheat are handled by the Board of Trade operators, lyhobuy, store, and ship whatever amount may be of¬ fered by the producers at any time, summer or winter. Market Wagon Stand. — The Haymarket space is now occupied by farmers, who drive in from the immediate suburbs, and market their own truck from their wagons during the day, thus saving the expense of middlemen's profits. It is the only place in the city where trade is so made direct between the producer and the consumer. It is quite an interesting sight to see the amount and variety of stuff that is collected together here every day and disposed of by 3 o cloca. Martha Washingtonian Home, üraceland Avenue, is under the same control as the Washington- ian, but its doors are open to women inebriates only. The Masonic Temple.— This splendid structure, situated at the northeast corner of State and Ran¬ dolph streets, Chicago, is without question the most wonderful, as well as the tallest strictly commercial building in the world. From the base line to the observatory deck, being 354 feet high. It was built originally as a monument to, and a home for Masonry and in furtherance of this plan. Oriental Consistory, St. Bernard Commandery, and many other masonic bodies have their meeting place here. The entire i8th floor is devoted to masonry. In ad¬ dition to this, lodges of almost every order in the world have their head¬ quarters here. As an illustration of MAS—McV 136 its magnitude, more than 550 lodge and society meetings are held in the building each month. The home offices of the Knights Templars and Masons Life Indemnity Company and several of the largest fraternal beneficiary societies are located here. The building is tenanted throughout with the very highest order of commercial and pro¬ fessional concerns. This fact, coupled with its world-wide reputa¬ tion, makes it a most desirable point from which to advertise legitimate enterprises. The building contains its own electric light plant which is operated every day and every night, and all day and all night. The larg¬ est safety deposit vaults in the world are located in the basement of this building, where one of the finest restaurants in the west will also be found. The best known, best pat¬ ronized and highest class vaudeville theatre in the country is located on the top floor. Here hundreds are en¬ tertained daily and nightly through the summer season with the very best attractions known to the vaudeville stage. The hydraulic elevators, of which there are fourteen, are oper¬ ated from 6;30 in the morning until midnight every day in the year. In short, everything that can be found in a modern city may be found and obtained in the Masonic Temple. The business interests represented in this magnificent building are so varied that a man or woman might live within its wails for an entire year without ever going or sending outside for any of the necessaries, and very few of the luxuries of life. The building is owned by the Masonic Temple Association, a corporation governed by five directors, of which Mr. James H.Gormley is President, Mr. B. W. Kendall, Vice-President, Dr. D. C. Rush, a veteran U. S. surgeon and capitalist, Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. B. E. Tildón and Mr. W. G. Purdy. The general office of the building to which all commun¬ ications may be addressed, is located in suite 1019-1020, on the tenth floor. Over 5,000 persons have offices in this building, and it is a conservative estimate to say that upwards of 30,- 000 persons are carried in the eleva¬ tors daily. The Masonic Temple is under the personal management of Capitain Edward Williams, whose affable and business like methods have won for him the respect and admiration of the business public.

McVicker's Theatre. — This theatre is now in its thirtieth year of continued success. There is not, in all the country, another play house more perfect in its entirety than McVicker's, of Chicago. This mag¬ nificent theatre stands unique. It combines the good qualities of other famous theatres in Europe and America with the oiiginal ideas of the veteriin actor and manager, J, H. McVicker, practicallv exnressed 137 McV—MED in foyer, auditorium and stage, show¬ ing the acme of excellence which the science of theatre construc¬ tion and equipment has attained. McVicker's is luxurious, and in dec¬ oration equals, if not surpasses, the parlor and drawing-room appoint¬ ments of the most costly residences. The chairs are built for ease and comfort, while the boxes are perfect gems. The cooling apparatus for hot weather works like a charm, and the he iting and ventilating is so per¬ fect that the house is filled wiih fresh air continually. The scale of prices at McVicker's is as follows: Every night and Saturday and holi¬ day matinees, 25c, 35c, 50c, 75c, $1.00; boxes, $9.00. Wednesday matinees, 25c and 50c; boxes, $6 00.

This institution, the oldest hospital in Chicago, now occupies an elegant new building, constructed on the best sanitary principles and ai ranged to accom¬ modate 300 patients. Its location near the lake shore is in one of the healthiest and pleasantest parts of the city. The patients are assigned to particular departments, according to the nature of their dis¬ ease. which receives the attention of prominent physicians and sur¬ geons. Messenger Service.—T here are now several companies who, for a fixed charge per month, will place an instrument in your house con¬ tained in a miniature iion box, having a small crank on the outside. By means of this you can summon at will a policeman, a fireman with an extinguisher, and notify the Fire Department, or a boy messenger in uniform, who will execute any com¬ mission you desire. These instru¬ ments are to be found at the disposal of any person in the offices of all first-class hotels and restaurants and are very convenient for the delivery of notes; invitations, circulars, the carrying of parcels or hand luggage, etc. The charge for messenger ser¬ vice is based upon the standard of 30 cents per hour, but a tariff book is furnished by the company, with each instrument, which gives the ex¬ act price of service from that point to all others in the city. The oldest of these is the American District Telegraph Company, which is a part of the Western Union Telegraph system. The main offices of the American District Telegraph are located in the Pullman Building, on Michigan Avenue. There are also companies which deliver letters or circulars in quantities.

Milk.—Eighty thousand gallons of milk are required every morning for Chicago consumption, and 800 milk depots are maintained as medi¬ ums between the consumer and the farmer. A tract of country 150 miles long, and eighty wide, is taxed to furnish this vast supply, and from 40,000 to 50,000 cows are necessary for dairy service. The milk supply of Chicago is much superior to that of many large cities, owing partly to the vigilance of the milk inspectors, and partly to the close vicinity of the dairy farms and the speed of transportation.

Monuments in Lincoln Park. —Lincoln Park is not gaining in art as it gains in monuments. The La. Salle bronze statue is mon.strou8 in drawing and ridiculous in detail. Instead of a preux chevalier, who would have dressed consistently for his mi-sion—that of an explorer in a country of rude climatic conditions —who would have been courtier at court and soldier in the field, we have a mongrel combination of half-breed in huma i type, dressed up in lace at the wrists, cavalry-boots on his supposed legs, a sword in his belt, and no covering on his head. The Schiller bronze statue, a rather better effigy in art, is ideally unfair to the subject; prosaic and austere, it is more pedagogue than poet. As for the Linnaeus piece, the sculptor carried incongruity to madness. A squat figure in art proportions, too broad for its height, is made broader by a huge cloak which exaggerates its false dimensions. If the natur¬ alist needed the cloak, why was he sent forth uncovered? Sculptors do as absurd things as other men, but greater absurdity than the drapery of the Linnaeus can not be found in art. Fortunately, Lincoln Park posses¬ ses two monuments worthy of pub¬ lic place, the glorious Lincoln of St. Gaudens, and the refined but vivid Indian group by Boyle. The Grant Monument is also in this park (which see). Morgan Park is a suburb of great beauty, both as to location and improvements. At the station on the Chicago, Rock Island &> Pacific, MOR—MOV 142 is a charming little park, gradually Western Avenue, Halsted, and State rising to a ridge, on which is situ- streets, or the old Vincennes road ated some handsome residences, through South Englewdod.

If one wants to move, how ever, on Chicago's great annual moving day, the 1st of May, he will find many obstacles that he would ■escape at other times of the year. In the first place, it will be difficult to gel drays and men unless ordered some time before they are needed; and, in the second place, there being so many customers requiring to be attended to, hurry and, consequently, carelessness are the result. Most of the storage firms who do the moving will take the risk of break¬ age on payment of an extra rate. Moving of trunks is done by the local express companies at low rates. (See Expresses.) Mus eu m s.—Several museums flourish in Chicago, and appear to receive large incomes. Previous to the Great Fire of 1871, Wood's Museum, at the corner of Clark and Randolph streets, was one of the best in the country. After the fire it was re opened, but a subsequent conflagration put an end to its exist¬ ence. Several years ago, Messrs. Kohl & Middleton conceived the idea of the "dime museum," and started two such places, one on Clark Street, and one on West Madison Street. The venture proved a great success, and Kohl and Mid¬ dleton soon had a host of imitators, few of whom had anything like the good fortune of the original promo¬ ters, who reaped the harvest of orig¬ inality. There are now in Chicago two dime museums, George Middle- ton's South Side dime museum, at 146 South Clark street, and Capt. White's London dime museum on State street, near Congress. Both of these museums h^ve several floors populated by ''fi'eaks"'and odd at¬ tractions, while the ground floor isa theater, where performances are given several times a day, with real¬ ly excellent vaudeville numbers and crowded patronage from city and country. Musical Societies.—There are several inus'cal societies in Chicago, some of which have earned no little fame and prominence. Among these may be mentioned The Apollo Club, whose concerts are noticeable events in the musical world, and whose headquarters are in Central Music Hall, and the Ger¬ mania Maennerchor, which possesses one of the finest club-houses in Chi¬ cago, and is in every way a famous musical and social organization. Newberry Library.—To Mr. Walter Loomis Newberry Chicago is indebted for this institution, which, now completed, easily ranks as one of the first libraries in Chicago. The sum bequeathed to the library is $2,149,101. The ground occupied by the old Newberry homestead be¬ fore the fire, a complete square, bounded by Dearborn avenue, Clark, Oak, and Walton place, is the site of the superb gray stone library build¬ ing, a model of architecture and a home of learning second to none in the nation. In addition to the enor¬ mous amount of money stated, this exceptional and valuable property was donated. John Vance Cheney, an authority on books of every kind, is the present librarian, and has an efficient corps of aides. Take North Clark or State street cars.

Great Northern Hotel— Magnificent in all its appoint¬ ments, is Located on Dear¬ born and Quincy streets, im¬ mediately in front of the new post office building. The loca¬ tion is central and the hotel is un¬ surpassed by any other hotel in America. William S. Eden is the proprietor and manager, and his reputation alonéis sufficient to at¬ tract a goodly percentage of the traveling public. Mr. Eden is the founder of the Great Northern, and he needs no other monument to attest his worth as a public-spir¬ ited citizen The construction is entirely of steel, with all walls sup¬ ported at each floor level and tied to steel construction Lateral brac¬ ing. extending from column to col¬ umn, to the full height of the building, makes it perfectly rigid againstall wind storms. The hotel was completed October 1, 1891. It contains upwards of 600 bedrooms arranged in suites, with bath rooms. All the bathrooms are finished in marble and supplied with hot and cold water, and the best plumbing fixtures. Every room contains a fireplace, and the building is ven¬ tilated throughout with exhaust ventilation The basement has a large oyster house extending the full length of the buiMing. There are four passenger elevators and two freight. The main floor is de¬ voted to the hotel offices, café, bar¬ ber and other shops. The second floor contains the main dining room .hotel parlors ,andthebilliard room. There are stations for bell¬ boys or girls on each main corridor on every floor, for piompt bell ser¬ vice. 'J'he building is thoroughly fire-proof, heated throughout by steam, and certainly one of the most beautiful and imposing pieces of architecture in this citv of mar¬ vels. Another attractive feature of this magnificent hotel is the beauti¬ ful Palm Garden, located upon the roof, from which the best view of the city possible is obtained. The Turkish Baths connected with this house are the most elaborate in the city of Chicago. The service and accommodations at the Great Northern are absolnte- ly first class in every particular. nTorthwestera Unirersity is located in Evanston, which is the most beautiful suburb of Chicago, and is one of the best and most healthy summer-resorts on the great lakes, having all the advantages of city, and all the enjoyments of rural life It is a model university village, and unusually free from immoral influences. By the laws of the State the sale of intoxicating liquor is for¬ bidden within four miles of the uni¬ versity. The university campus con¬ tains thirty acres on the shore of Lake Michigan. The buildings are shaded by native oaks, through which one catches glimpses of the blue waters of the great lake. There are connected with the university 111 professors and instructors, and more than 1,900 students. In all the departments the highest advantages of education are given at a moderate cost. The university includes the follow¬ ing departments: The College of Liberal Arts, which has four regular courses of study, and opportunity for a select course. The College of Medicine. The College of Law. 153 NOR—NOE The College of Pharmacy. The College of Oral and Dental Surgery. The Preparatory School. The School of Elocution. The Conservatory of Music. Department of Art. Garret Biblical Institute. Swedish Theological Seminary. Norwegian and Danish Theologi¬ cal Seminary The Woman's College is a large and elegant building that gives to young women the advantages of a well-regulated home. • There is also a college cottage, which offers special advantages to young women of limited means. The three theological schools are on the grounds of the university, but are under distinct corporations. The colleges of medicine, of law, of nharmacy, and of dental and oral surgery, are in Chicago, and the otner departments are in Evans- ton. In the college of liberal art, the college of law, and in the depart¬ ments of elocution, of music, and art, young women are admitted to the same privileges, tbe same courses of study, and receive the same de¬ grees as young men. In the preparatory school, the spe¬ cial work of which is to prepare students for college so as to meet the most advanced requirements of the highest and best colleges of the coun¬ try, there is also provision for a general and academic education for students who wish to prepare them¬ selves for the study of medicine, law, teaching in public schools, or for business. There has recently been erected on tbe college campus a large and well-furnished hall of science, which affords unusually good ac¬ commodations for the departments of chemistry and physics. Practical instruction is given in the laboratorias, in this building, in the department of chemistry and physics, and also in the biological laboratory in University Hall. The university museum contains large and valuable collections for illustrating the departments of nat¬ ural history. The specimens are properly labeled and are well adapted to aid the student. The museum contains- 1. An herbarium, consisting of nine large and valuable collections of plants from various parts of the country. 2. A zoological collection of 5,000 specimens. 3. A collection of specimens in mineralogy, lithology,, and geology. In ethnology, it contains a number of well-selected specimens, illustrat¬ ing various stages of civilization. The university library contains about 26,000 volumes, besides 8,000 unbound pamphlets. It contains a large number of books for general reading and reference, and for use in the several departments of study. It is unusually complete in the de¬ partment of Greek and Latin litera¬ ture. Every author is represented by the best editions, from the earliest date. In the related subjects, also, of archaeology, criticism, and history, the library is correspondingly full, so that in the special field of classical philology it ranks with the best in America. In modern literature, it is well supplied with standard works in German, French, Spanish, and Italian. There is also a valuable se¬ lection of books illustrating the his¬ tory and best productions of the fine arts. There is a reading-room in con¬ nection with the library, open morn¬ ing and afternoon, supplied with a good collection of reviews and other periodicals. Every student is en¬ titled to its privileges. Gentlemen of liberality and large means have also promised a library NOR-OHA 154 building, which will he one of the Grove Avenue from Sixty-seventh finest and best in tbe country. Street.

It has a handsome aud¬ itorium running parallel with the street. This is a variety house, where the very best combinations, representing a varied line of novel specialties, appear. The management conducts the theater on the popular plan of moderate prices, conse¬ quently there is always a full house. Kohl & Middleton and Cassel, pro prietors. Opium Dens.—The vice of opium smoking, which always comes with the Chinese, has established itself in Chicago along with the 1,300 Chinese who live in the western metrop¬ olis. South Clark Street is noted for opium " joints," and the nightly raids of the police u.sually result in quite a haul of victims of the habit, both white and yellow. As yet the majority of these opium-smokers are Mongolians, but the number of white devotees of the pipe is continually increasing. Orphan Asylum of the Guar¬ dian Angel is under the manage¬ ment of the Guardian Angel German Catholic Society, and is located at Rose Hill (which see). Packing-House Odors, — In 1874 the sanitary board passed a regulation that all packing and rend¬ ering houses within the city limits should put in an apparatus to con¬ sume the gases from the rendering tanks. In compliance with this regulation a majority of the packers employed the system in use at the agricultural works at Deptford, Eng¬ land. That is, to condense all the aqueous vapors, and discharge them into the sewers, and to pass the dry gases over the fire under the boilers; where, coming inr contact with the live coals, all the animal matter car¬ ried by the gas is consumed. The other establishments where this plan was not used, adopted the plan of first carbonizing the gases and then burning them. Both systems were successful and resulted in much good, both to the city and the pack¬ ing-houses. Packingtown is the name often given to the Union Stock Yards proper and their immediate environ¬ ment. If they were situated by themselves, in any other part of the country, they would make a large city that would be considered of re¬ markable interest by the chroniclers, and the amount of business done there of immense importance. But it is so overshadowed by the greatness of Chicago, of which it is only a part, that its individuality is in danger of being unnoticed. There is but one Packingtown in the world and that is in Chicago. Whoever visits the city and fails to visit this center of industry, misses an opportunity. The Stock Yards proper, located on the corner of Esom Avenue and PAC—PAC 156 Halsted Street, were commenced in June, 1865, and on the following Christmas were thrown open for business. To Col. R. M. Hough, c >6 of the original settlers of this eity, belongs the credit of this display of energetic push. The company owns 345 acres; of this, 146 acres are occupied by the yard and pens. The present capacity of these yards is 35,000 head of cattle, 150,000 head of hogs, 20,000 sheep, and stabling for 1,000 horses. Forty miles of rail¬ road track, 50 miles of switch-tracks, all laid with steel rails, belong to the company. All the railroad lines in the United States converge to this •"oint, and it is the pronounced opin¬ ion of experts, both in Europe and the United States, that it is the most perfect in plan, appointments, ar¬ rangements, and detail, of any simi¬ lar institution in the world; $8.000,- 000 has already been put into the construction account by the com¬ pany, to say nothing of the capital invested in the business by private enterprise. A few years ago the publisher of a live-stock paper in¬ troduced the custom of having a tent erected at the yards for the display of improved breeds of stock, etc. This has now'become a permanent feature. A pavilion ha^ been erected, capable of seating 600 per¬ sons, with plenty of room for the display and sale of stock. Cattle from noted herds in all parts of the United States and Canada are sold here, and a regular horse-market for the sale of imported and American bred horses has been established. Within the company's grounds is The Transit, a first-class hotel costing a quarter of a million dollars, where stockmen can get the best, for $3 per day. The Exchange Build¬ ing, a two-and-a-half story brick structure 60x380 feet, standing in the middle of the yards, has a Board ■of Trade Room, the main offices of the company, post office, tele graph office, restaurant, and num¬ erous private offices of commis¬ sion firms. Two large artesian wells, one 1,100 and the other 1,800 feet in depth, help out the enormous water supply needed. Here buyers and sellers meet from all over the Union. There is no sixty or ninety days, but it is a cash market. Just outsieie the limits of the company's grounds is a fringe of packing-houses, where the vast herds constantly pouring into the yards from the prairies of the West, are made into commercial material. Over one-seventh of all the hogs marketed in the United States come to Chicago. Neither money nor en¬ terprise has beeh spared to complete and perfect all details, so as to reach as nearly as possible the utmost dis¬ patch, cleanliness and economy in the manufacture of hog products. It has been said that the only two things about the animal they have failed to save and utilize, are the squeal and curl of the tail. The packing-houses turn out about 18,- 000,000 carcasses per annum. An¬ other peculiar industry is the ship¬ ment of dressed beef to the Eastern and Middle States. Against all the bitter opposition at first manifested, it is constantly increasing. Perhaps a reason for this lies in the fact that a car will carry but eighteen live ani¬ mals, but holds thirty carcasses, and the cost of slaughtering here is much less than anything that could be done East. The men who stand at the head of the packing business, are the wealthiest and most public spirited of all Chicago's enterprising citizens. The hundreds of em¬ ployés who find employment here, reside close by. So, a large city, with its schools, churches, and place-t of amusement, has grown up about the manufacturing nucleus. It is not to be wondered at that the inhabitants 157 PAC—PAL are peculiar in some things, tor their business is peculiar. But after all there is nothing very perceptible, only that the workmen are largely made up of men of foreign birth. Palmer House.—The external appearance of this remarkable build¬ ing is such that it is a wonder to strangers and a ' 'joy forever" to the citizens. Its construction was com¬ menced in July, 1871. The plan of time were the Grand, at Paris, and the Beau Rivage d'Angleterre at Geneva. Mr. Palmer's deti rmina- lion was to eclipse them all, and the unanimous opÍ! ion of travelers is that he has done it. The substan¬ tial points characteristic of this hotel are the massiveness and solidity with which it is built. The ediflce contains 17,000,000 bricks, of which over 1,000,000 go into partition walls. There are about 90,000 Palmer House, State and Monroe Streets. the Palmer House was only evolved after several plans had been submit¬ ted to the proprietor, Mr. Potter Palmer, by the best Chicago archi¬ tects, and after he had, with the architect selected for the purpose, traveled over Europe and availed himself, not only of the hints of the archil ects there, but of the ideas to be gathered from the finest hotels in that center of civilization and luxury. The best hotels in Europe at that square feet of marble tiling in the floors of the building, and all the fli^oring is laid upon massive beds of cement, supported by I beams brought from Belgium, with in- terv. ning arches of corrugated iron. The precautions against fire are, in all respects, very complete. There are also about this hotel many novel and excep¬ tionally thorough arrangements for admitting light liberally everywhere, PAL—PAL 158 avoiding unpleasant kitchen and closet odi>rs etc., which cannot be particularized here. The dimen¬ sions of the building are, on State Street,254 feet; on Monroe Street,250 feet, and on Wabash Avenue. 131 feet. Total area covered, 72,500 square feet. This is necessarily di¬ vided up by courts, and of these, the carriage court, entered by portes cocheres from three streets, is 90x120 feet in dimensions. The facings of the several fronts are of gray sand¬ stone, with the first story and entresol of massive iron castings which alone cost $100,000. Of the facing stone 160,000 cubic feet were used. The peculiarity which, after all, most impresses the visitor, is the more than palatial richness of the interior finish. The immense office of the hotel, 64x106 feet and 24 feet in height, is wainscoted everywhere with Italian marble, studded with panels of remarkably rich rose bro- catello marble, many of the natural mosaics exhibited in these panels be¬ ing of rare and curious beauty. The wainscoting of the counter is the same. The next feature on which the wealth of the builder has been most conspicuously lavished, is the grand staircase of Carrara marble, springing from the ground to the uppermost floor, and constructed upon that wonderful self-supporting plan, whereby each step has only to be fixed at one end—the whole stretching outward from the wall, with apparently no support at all. The principle is a variation of the keystone, and is applied in only one other instance in America—Girard College. Some idea of the startling weight thus suspended in mid-air may be conjectured from the fact that at each landing (of which there are several to each story) there is a square block weighing 5,200 pounds. The intermediate stairs are of solid blocks, and weigh perhaps 1,200 pounds each. The total cost of the edifice is $2,000,000. The style of the furnishings is correspondingly elegant, and the bill for that item was not less than $500,000. All the front rooms, up to the fourth or fifth floor, are furnished with satin or velvet upholstery, Wilton or moquette carpets, and have elegantly carved mantels on which stand clocks of bronze, gilt, or ormolu, with other ornaments to match. The dining- room, and other sahes à manger, five in number, are located contiguously to each other, and have a total area of 12,033 square feet. The principal dining-room, 64x76 feet in size, is arranged so as to suggest an open Italian court, the sweep of the eye being relieved by massive fluted columns extending around the room as if supporting piazzas. There are 708 rooms in the Palmer House, and the electric apparatus by which the occupants of each communicate with the office, includes nearly 100 miles of wire. From 1,000 to 2,400 ^ests are usually accommodated in this,one of the largest and costliest hotels in "the world. The new Palmer House was opened in the year 1873 by Mr. Potter Palmer, who was then, and is now, the Si pie proprietor and man¬ ager. The traveler can have his choice of plans while stopping at the Palmer—either the American or European. In connection with the Palmer House are the famous bath¬ house and barber shop, said to sur¬ pass anything of the kind in the United States, if not the world. They merit a visit of inspection by strangers who desire to see the highest style of art bestowed on such places of convenience. Leroy Payne's well-known livery stables have telephone connection with this hotel, and a carriage or other conveyance can be summoned at any time. The rates of the Payne 159 PAL-PAR company are very reasonable and park lands could be located and its stables the finest in Chicago. described by metes and bounds in the proposed park bill.

To pass such a bill, grand boulevard system (see Boule- opposed by a lobby of able croakers, mrds) are under the jurisdiction of required hard and earnest work, the South Park Commissioners, After many weeks of such effort, appointed by the judges of the news at length came that the Circuit Court of Cook County for bill could be passed, provided the terms of five years, one term expiring PAR—PAR 160 each year. The jurisdiction of these Commissioners covers 1,057 acres of parks and 16.37 miles of boulevards. It should be stated that the muc-h- contreverted Lake Front of forty-one acres is not under the jurisdiction of the South Park Commissioners, although their boulevard system begins at Jackson Street. The principal West Side parks are Garfleld (originally called Central) Park, 185 acres; Douglas, 179 acres, and Humboldt, 200 acres. The lesser parks under the jurisdiction of the West Chicago Park Commis- sioners,are Union, Jefferson, Vernon, Wicker, and Campbell, in all thirty acres, and the aggregate acreage of parks and boulevards controlled by the Board is 940 acres, of which 422 acres are improved, leaving 518i un¬ improved. The Commissioners first appointed, in 1869, found their terri¬ tory a broad expanse of level prairie, with scarcely a tree upon it. The expenditures oh the West Side sys¬ tem in nineteen years have been about $3,000,000; the annual revenue from taxation is now about $200,000." The result has been that over 400 acres have been beautified with trees, artificial lakes, walks, and drives, and the Commissioners are energetic of purpose to push park improve¬ ments to completion. Lincoln Park was the old city cemetery, whose sleeping inmates were tenderly re¬ moved to other places of repose. A s enlarged by the extension to the northward, Lincoln Park has a lake frontage of 2i miles, along which is a beautiful lake-drive (which see), adorned with a splendid equestrian statue of General Grant. At the southern entrance to the park is the memorial statue to Lincoln. Elsewhere are statues of Schiller and Goethe, eontributed by the Ger¬ man citizens of the North Side; the Linné Monument, erected by the Scandinavian citizens of Chicago; al.so the magnificent Terkes electric fountain. The artistic features of the park are most notable and it is also becoming famous as a zoological garden. Ahne than $3,000 OcO have been expended on its improvement, and lands which were a barren easte of sand have been converted into a delightful pleasure resort for the people. The annual revenue avail¬ able to the Commissioners now amounts to $275,000. The following parks and public squares are situated within the city ; ACRES.

Picnic Grounds.—Picnics are a great feature of summer life in Chicago. Every Saturday large parties go forth to seek the woods and streams, while on Sundays the number of picnics is almost count¬ less. Every social organization of the middle classes gives at least one picnic annually. Every nationality represented in the city must enjoy its Sunday picnic. There are a number of excellent and well-patronized pic¬ nic grounds in and about Chicago. Og len's Grove, in the southwestern part of the city, is a great resort for labor and political merrymakers. Schuetzen (or Sharpshooters') Park, in Lake View, is the favorite picnic ground for the German Turner s )cieties. The parks are the Mecca of Saturday picnics, while the Sun¬ day gayeties find ample space at Downer's Grove, Willow Springs, Altenheim, Cedar Lake, and many other pleasant spots within easy reach of the city. Police Department.— The peace and good order which prevails in Chicago is perhaps a fair criterion of the efficiency of the police force. Its members in the main have been attentive to their duties, thus the good name of the city for order and protei;tion to person and property has, as a rule, been maintained. The duties of a police officer in this great city are varied and exacting. It is not strange that among so large a number some should err. The pro¬ motions, changes, and transfers that have occurred from time to time, have been made with the sole object of rewarding merit and improving the efficiency of the force ; the results thus far are satisfactory. The Police Department of Chicago is under the official control of the Mayor, and is conducted by a general superinten¬ dent, salary $5,000; five inspectors, $2,800 each; secretary, $2,000; two clerks, secretary's office, $l,l'iOeach; stenographer, $1,000; custodian, $1,- 823; clerk detective office, $1,500; two assistant clerks, detective office, $1,200 each; night clerk, $900; thirteen captains, $2,250 each; two lieutenants, detective office, $1,700; sergeant, detective office, $1,600; forty-eight lieutenants, $1,500 each; forty-eight patiol sergeants, $1,200 each; twenty matrons, $630 each; photographer, $1,200; fifty detective patrolmen, $1,212.75 each; six police court bailiffs, $1,000 each; five pound keepers, $771.75 each; seventy four desksergants, $l,102.50eaeh; patrol¬ man, Mayor's office, $1,009; patrol¬ man, comptrollei's office, $500; sixteen lock-up keepers, $l,O00each; four in¬ spectors of pawn-shops, $1,000 each; two inspectors of vehicles, $1,200 each; 180 patrolmen on duty at bridges, cros.sings, depots, etc., $1,- 000 each; 140 patrolmen, first-class for duty on patrol wagons, $1,000 each; 1,168 patrolmen, first-class for regular duty, $1,000 each; 100 patrol¬ men, second class, for patrol duty nine months, $60 per month; four engineers for police station, nine months, $83.33i- per month; four assistant engineers for police stations; eight months, $550 each; sixteen janitors, $58() each; veterinary, in¬ cluding medicine, $1,500; eight hostlers, $630 each; three watchmen, $750 each; five drivers of supply wagons,$750 each; seventy drivers of patrol wagons, $720 each. Total force, including officers and men, 1,870; total salaries of the depart¬ ment, $2,002,447.25. The number of stations, including the Central Detail Station, at the City Hall, is thirty-five. The number of arrests made in 1890 was 62,230. For patrol POL—POL 164 service the city is divided into five divisions and thirty-six precincts. The divisions are commanded by in¬ spectors and the various precincts by captains and lieutenants. Each of the thirty-six precincts has its own building, generally called a station, containing quarters for the men, cells for the prisoners, and lodging for homeless persons. The division headquarters and precincts are lo¬ cated as follows: Headquarters of Superinten¬ dent and Stall, first floor City Hall. Central Detail, basement of City Hall. The officers of this de partment do patrol duty during the day time at street crossings, bridges, railroad depots, etc. These are pickeil men and will average six feet in height. This is in reality a sub station of the first precinct, but nevertheless it is highly important. Detective Force.—Headquar¬ ters, t)asement of City Hall. Detec¬ tives rank as patrolmen but receive more pay. They are not uniformed. The force usually numbers fifty, and it is impossible for a suspicious character to escape being observed. These men, as a rule, are expert, and have been selected on account of their ability to detect crime and hunt out criminals. First Division.—Headquarters, Harrison Street and Pacific Avenue.

Police Pension Fund.—The policemen of Chicago are retired on 165 POL—POP half pay after twenty years of ser vice. They have also a benevolent organization, assisted by the munici¬ pality, called, "The Policemen's Benevolent Association," which cares for its members if they be¬ come disabled, and for the wives and orphans of deceased ofBcers. The pension fund receives 2 per cent, of all moneys received from licenses fur saloons or dramshops, three-fourths of dog tax, one-fourth of all moneys received for licenses granted pawn-shops,one-fourth of all jnoneys received for licenses granted second-hand dealers, one-fourth of all moneys for licenses granted junk dealers; all moneys c ollected for fines for carrying concealed weapons; one-half of all costs collected for violation of city ordinances, accord¬ ing to an act of the General Assembly approved April 29, 1887. The re¬ sources are at all times ample for the purpose indicated. Political Parties.—The two great political parties are almost equally represented in Chicago, and every election is closely and bitterly contested. Careful attention has to be paid to the wishes and re¬ quests of every nationality, and any blunder, which may transfer the vote of any panicular nation to an opposing candidate, usually means a disastrous defeat. The prohibition party is too insignifi.cent to be con¬ sidered; the lahor party, however, is slowly gaining strength at each election. In the old city proper, the democracy has now a large majority, but the farmers of the outlying dis¬ tricts and the country towns are almost solidly republican. Pontiac Building is a magnifi¬ cent fourteen-story office building, on Harrison Street, between Dear¬ born Street and Fourth Avenue. The material is brown pressed brick and steel. Upon both Dearborn Street and Fourth Avenue from the third story, to the eleventh,inclusive, there are three tiers of windows, and a single tier in the same stories on the Harrison street front. The first fioor is so arranged that it can be divided into five stories. On Har¬ rison Street the frontage is sixty- seven feet, and on Dearborn Street and Fourth Avenue, 100 each. It cost $350,000.

Population of Chicago, by Years.—A glance over the follow¬ ing figuri s will show thé stride Chicago is maintaining in order to reach the first place in the list of American cities. If the rate of in¬ crease is not diminished it will re¬ quire less than two decades to ac¬ complish the marvelous feat; 1830 70. 1840 4,853. 1845 12,088. 1850 29,963. 1855 60,627. 1860 112,172. 1865 178,900. 1870 298.977. 1871...- 334,270. 1872 364,377. 1880 503,18-'). 1890 1.208,669. 1891. 1,250,000. 1892 1,500,000. 1900 1,698,575. The population is divided among the nationalities as follows: American 488,683. German 490,542. Irish - 248,142. Bohemian.. 89,471. Polish - • 96,853. Swedish —111,190.

Post Office.—Located in the square bounded by Adams Street on the north, Dearborn Street on the east, .liicUson Street on the south, and Clark Street on the west, is, prop¬ erly speaking in the very heart of the South Side business district. The site is all that could be desired, and cost the Government $1,100,000, at the time the building was com¬ menced, immi diately after the Great Fire in 1871. This site, like other real estate in that vicinity, has at least doubled in value since that time. For the building the Govern¬ ment appropriated $4,000,000. The dimensions of the structure are 243 by 211 feet, and its utmost height 197 feet. The building is in the Florentine-Romänesque style of arch¬ itecture, and of the Buena Vista, Ohio, sandstone—a very fine-grained stone, of rich, but gray-brown co'or. This building, notwithstanding its enormous cost, is an utter failure. It is dwarfed into insignificance by the handsome and lofty structures tliat surround it on all sides. The sinking of the foundation has shaken the huge pile almost to pieces and were it not for continued repairs it would have tumbled down long since. It is regarded as unsafe, and aside from being an eyesore, it is entirely too small for the present demands of the city. It was supposed that it would furnish sufficient facilities for at least fifty years. As a matter of fact the business outgrew the structure in ten years. A new post- office building, to cost about $6,000.- OuO, will soon be erected ou the same site. The upper floors of the old building are occupied by the Gov¬ ernment officers, also the United States courts and custom house. The first floor ai d basement are oc¬ cupied as the post office. About 1.600 men are employed in the col¬ lection, SOI ting and di livery of the 522,512,067 letters, newspapers, etc., handled during the year 1890. The receipts for the same time (e.xclusive of the fifiy three outlying post offices in the city) amounted to $3,126,840- 68, and the expenses, $1,131,474.24, showing a net income of $1,995,- 306.44, or a profit of nearly $2,000,- 000. The money order transactions re ched $1,879.292, aggregating a sum of $19.288,947.54. Theamount of mail in transit through the city of Chica.go, and transferred from in¬ coming to out-going trains, is esti¬ mate I to have reached tl e enormous bulk of 27,375 tons for the year. The annual increase of business done by the Chicago post office is 12i per cent. During the year of the Wond's Fair (1893) it is estimated that the receipts of this office will exceed $6,- 000.000. In view of this, the urgency for a new office is very great. Besides the general post office there are eleven carrier stations and twenty-two sub-postal stations. The limits or jurisdiction of the post¬ master of the Chicago post office covers less flian one-third of the area of the city proper; the outlying post offices (which see) number fifty-three. In time, no doubt, these offices in the new annexations will be abolished, and all this vast business wiU. be under one head. J tation, 1353 Diversey Street; Humboldt Park station, lh76 Milwaukee Avenue; Hyde Park station, 142 Fifty-third Street. Sub-Postal Stations:—Twenty- second Street station, 86 Twenty- second Street; Ogden Avenue station, 324 Ogden Avenue; Indiana Street station, corner Indiana and Paulina streets.

The Inspector's Department is located on the top fioor of the Post Office Building; the Chicago division comprises the States of Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min¬ nesota, and Dakota. All ca.ses of irregularities, depredations or viola¬ tions of postal laws should be re¬ ported to the Inspector. There are over 10,000 postmasters in this division, and fifteen inspectors to look after them. Mail Train Service.—There are 220 mail trains arriving and depart¬ ing from the city daily, excepting Sunday; of these trains 118 have railway post offices attached, in which 800 clerks are employed in the distribution of the mails while in transit. In addition to this number of railway clerks a force of thirty three clerks employed by the Chi¬ cago post office is sent out on the night trains to the meeting point of incoming railway post-office trains, on which they return to distribute and make up the mail for the main office and stations, for imm'-diate delivery by carriers upon arrival. This system of quick delivery is a recent innovation, and of Chicago origin. By this method about 70 p r cent, of the mails received during the twenty four hours are delivered before 9 a. m. There are 110 separate mails closed daily for dispatch, the first close being made at 3:30 a. m., and the last at 10:80 p. m. A corresponding number of mails are received daily. The head¬ quarters of the Sixth Division Rail¬ way Mail Service, comprising the States of Hlinois, Iowa, Nebrasjia, 169 POS-POS and Wyoming, are located in Chi¬ cago. In this division 856 railway clerks are employed in the distribu¬ tion of the mails on the cars. These clerks, during the year 1890, traveled 33,330,704 miles.

This prison is located on Californi.i Avenue n ar Twenty-sixth 8tre t, and receives, on an average, 10,000 prisoners annually. Prisoners charged with graver crimes are, if not released on bail, kept in the County Jail on the North Side, an I if convicted, sent to the State's prison at Joliet. The Joliet Penitentiary, which houses about 1,500 convicts, is a model institution of its kind, and is conducted upon the most modern ideas.

Proposed Elevated Road.— There was filed with the Secretary of State, August 20, 1891, articles of incorporation of the Chicago, Evans- ton & Southern Elevated Railroad Company, which proposes to build a street railway, beginning at a point in Evanston and running south be¬ tween the west shore of Lake Mich¬ igan and the east line of the North- Western Railway to Wedgewood Avenue, to Franklin Street, thence south on or near Franklin Street to Kinzie Street; thence west across the North Branch of the Chicago River, on or near Kinzie Street, to Clinton Street; thence south on or near Clinton Street to Sixty-fourth Street, Englewood; thence east on or near Sixty fourth Street to Jackson Park; thence southeast to Blue Island Ave¬ nue. The principal olHce is located at Chicago, and the capital stock is $20.büO,Óu0, This elevated road is designed especially to pick up through travel across the city. Títere will be but one fare, and that a low one, between Evanston and Jackson Park, Provident Hospital and Training School.—This may be regarded as a colored charity, as it originated in the African Methodist Church, This admirably equipped hospital is located at Twenty-ninth and Dearborn streets. Physicians, nurses, matron, and clerks, are all colored, and the patients as a rule are colored people, although no race distinctions are made. Public Library. —During the past year the Public Library was removed from its cramped quar¬ ters in the City Hall to its new home on the lake front, where the building covers a block, bounded by Washington street, Michigan avenue. Randolph street and Gar¬ land place. The building was erected at a cost of $2,000,000, and the site is valued at$l,000,000 The contents of the library are 173 PUB—PUL worth as much as the building and site, so it will be noted that in this particular Chicago has ex¬ pended $6,000,000 for the benefit of her citizens and the public in general. There is a book capacity of 600,000 volumes, and at the pre¬ sent time there are 241,000 books on the shelves, many of which are very rare and valuable. At the present rate of increase, from 15,000 to 20,000 volumes per year, it will not be long until it reaches and probably will surpass any other library in the world. There are 72,000 card holders, who have complied with the regulations and are permitted to draw books and take them home for study or perusal. There are 58 delivery stations located in the various parts of the city where books may be secured and exchanged, also 6 branch reading rooms. A sys¬ tem of delivery wagons are incon¬ stant service transferring books to and from these branches. The building from an architec¬ tural standpoint is unexcelled, and for the purpose of library it is said to be the most complete in the world. No library in Europe or America has so many patrons. The nucleus of this grand institu¬ tion was the 7,000 volumes col¬ lected by the English author, Thomas Hughes, and presented as a donation after the fire of 1871. The library was opened for circu¬ lation May 1, 1874, with 17,355 volumes. Frederick A. Hild is the Librarian. The building is of massive granite blocks, which rest onafoundation 74 feet below the surface, and it towers 95 feet above the ground, with a frontage overlooking the lake of 354 feet. The architecture is almost classic Grecian withpillars and columns. The two entrance ways are on Washington and Randolph street. The various floors are reached by marble stairways, or if the visitor desires can use the elevator. A highly prized volume is a copy of Queen Victoria's book entitled "Early Lifeof the PrinceConsort." Public Schools.—The public school system of Chicago, while one of the best in tlie country, is inade¬ quate for tlie education of tlie entire scholastic popnlation. Tlie paro¬ chial schools assume part of the bur¬ den, but nevertheless the public scliools are badly overcrowded, and the construction of new schools can hardly keep pace with tlie increase in population. Tliere are over 400 public schools in Cook County, with a scliolastic pop¬ nlation of about 30'i,000. Of this multitude, nearly 70,000 are enrolled in private and parochial schools, and about 150,000 in the pnblic schools. The public schools employ 3.300 teachers and cost nearly $5,000,- 000 per year. Pullman is located on the Calu¬ met Lake, and is the most beautiful little city on the face of the earth. Its great mannfacturing plants are surronnded by broad and sinuous drives, walks, lawns, miniature lakes, fountains, etc., that give it the ap¬ pearance of a park rather than the seat of a great manufactory. The Arcade, an immense bui'ding, in which are all the shops or stores, a bank, a library, a theatre, etc. ; tlie Market House, in which all meat-t and vegetables are sold ; the hotel and all the residences, are built princi¬ pally of pressed brick, showing Gothic, Swiss, and other styles of architectnre. Pages could be wiit- ten about Pullman, and yet not pre- s nt half its attractiveness. Every¬ one visiting Chicago shonld take the Illinois Central and see Pullman. PUL—KAI 174 This is the home of the famous Pull¬ man palace and sleeping cars, and the place of iheir origin and manu¬ facture. Race-tracks.—The race-courses of Chicago are considered among the finest in the country. There are three of them: Washington Park, West Side Driving Park, and Gorrigan's Track. Washington Paek course was planned and built after the most improved designs. Neithermoneynor labor has been sp.ired to make the club-house, the grand stand, the grounds, buildings, and track un¬ surpassed anywhere in the United States. The regular running meet commencts the last of June, lasting four weeks, closing the last of July. There is also a spring meeting. At both of these there are always events of the greatest interest to all the bre ders and sporting men through¬ out the country. It is also true that the Derby Day of the mid-summer series is becoming more and more a holiday for Chicago's citizens. The park is easily reached by the Illinois Central Railroad or by the South. Side Cable car lines. Harlem Track.—This newest of local race courses is located in the town of Harlem, just beyond the city limits, and is accessible by Mad¬ ison street, Lake street or Van Buren street cars, or by the Lake street and Metropolitan L roads. John Condon is the chief magnate of the Harlem Jockey club, which is a wealthy and prosperous organiza¬ tion. Hawthorne Track.—This is a superb race course, and, as its name indicates, is located at the little country town of Haw¬ thorne. It is certainly one of the most elegant tracks ever laid out in the country. It is located in the town of Cicero, just beyond the city limits. No better ground can bi' found near Chica.go, as it runs alon^ a ridge that permits thorough drain¬ age. The soil is a sandy, black loam, that even a heavy rain can not pack. It lies seven and a half miles from the Court House. It is within easy distance of the Freoport branch of the Illinois Central Railroad, the Burlmgto i & Quincy, and Atchison -tom House Place, Chicago; city ticket office, 233 Clark Street; freight depot. Fourth Avenue and Taylor Street ; passenger depot. Polk Street and Third Avenue. This road is popularly known as the " Monon Route.

It is a ten-story, steel-constructed, fire-proof building, ext«nding 149 feet on Adams Street, and 166 feet back to Quiucy. Its height is 142 feet. The interior court is 60x60 feet. One of the main feat¬ ures of the building is its cantilever construction, carrying the party walls, thereby avoiding all dan- ger of settling to the adjoining property-owners. The interior court is faced entirely with white, glazed brick, and terra cotta. The exterior is entirely of terra cotta. of a dark, brown shade. The structure is pro¬ vided with four passenger and thtee freight elevators. Among the ten¬ ants are the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road. World's Fair manage¬ ment, and the enormous printing house of Rand, McNally & Co. It has been estimated that this house contains a total of 8,700 tons of steel. There are fifteen miles of steel rail¬ way sixty-five-pound rails in the foundation, twelve miles of steam pipes, twelve miles of fifteen-inch steel beams, and 850,000 rivets and bolts. It cost $1,000,000. Reform Clubs. — Several "re¬ form societies " flourish in Chicago, and seem to find plenty of occupa¬ tion. Of the.se, the most prominent are ; The Citizens' League of Chi¬ cago, the Citizens' Association of Chicago, the Civil Service Reform League, the Illinois Tariff Refornrt League, the international Law and ■Order League, the Revenue Reform League of Cook County, and the Western Society for the Suppression of Vice. The Citizens' League, whose object is the enforcement of the laws regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, is the most active and suc¬ cessful of these societies. Reformed Episcopal Churches. — The Episcopal Re¬ formed churches of Chicago are : St. John's, Langley Avenus and Thirty-seventh Street. St. Mary's, Maplewood. St. Matthew's, Larrabee Street and Fullerton Avenue. St. Ansgarius', Chicago Avenue and Sedgwick Street.

Restaurants.—There are nearly 700 restaurants in Chicago, including Street.near Wabash Avenue; Thom¬ son's Oyster House, on Dearborn Street, near Monroe; Kohlsaat's num¬ erous down-town branches; the Chicago Oyster House, on Madison Street, near Clark Street : Lansing & McGarigle's, on Clark Street, and the Boston Oyster House, Madison and Clark streets. Riding Schools.—Riding, as an exercise, is becoming more popular in Chicago every year, and the boule- RID—KOM 190 vards are the chief resort of the equestrians. There are several rid¬ ing schools, where first-class instruc¬ tion can be obtained from well known horsemen. On North Clark Street, near Lincoln Park, is an excellent school, and there is another on Six¬ teenth Street, near Michigan Avenue. Rogues' Gallery, or Bureau of Identification, as it is called, is a collection of photographs of persist ent and notorious criminals who have, at one time or another, fallen into the hands of the police. That in Chica xo is in the hands of the detective office at police headquar¬ ters, basement of the City Hall, and consists of over a thousand cartes-de- visite of all sons of faces, from that of the coarse, sensual felon to the sleek, sanctimonious confidence op¬ erator. An official photographer is employed by the Police Depart¬ ment, at a salary of $1.200, to take the photographs of criminals. Once a picture is placed in this gallery it is only removed when its subject dies or disappears from the criminal world, or when he has given ample proof of his intention to reform in the community, by leading an honest life for at least five years. Many daring burglaries, forgeries, etc., have been traced home to their perpetrators by the clews furnished by a comparison of these pictures with such descrip¬ tions of suspicious characters as were seen about the locality when the crime was committed.

Rose Hill Cemetery contains five hundred acres of high ground and is situated on the Chicago & North-Western Railway, about six and a half miles from the city. The view had of this cemetery from pass¬ ing trains, or from almost any point surrounding, with its winding carriage and footway.s, its beautiful lakes and its green and sloping lawns, reveals a picture of grand landscape work that is hardly excelled. The massive stone entrance, built in the old castle style of architecture, aä'ords both office and chapel room, and the greenhonses, which are very large, contain almost every variety of plant and flower. The Rose Hill Ceme¬ tery Company was chartered Feb¬ ruary 11, 1859. Rose Hill contains many handsome and costly tombs and monuments, the most prominent of the latter being the Soldier's Monu¬ ment at the head of the main avenue. This is one of the three prominent Protestant cemeteries, and may be reached, aside from the railroad, by a splend id drive via Lincoln Park, Gracelaud, and the beautiful north¬ ern suburbs. It is seven miles north of the City Hall. Rowing. — Rowing is confined almost entirely to the parks. Each of the larger parks contains a lake of considerable size, and a large num¬ ber of boats are continually in use during pleasint weather. The various boat-clubs, located along the lake .shore, enjoy themselves upon that body of water, but do not dare to venture outside of a very narrow strip of the inland sea, whose surface is decidedly treacherous. Rush Medical College.—The history of this institution is known to the medical profession through¬ out the country. It is the oldest medical college in Chicago, and was organized in 1848, but began its work in 1837. The buildings are located at Wood and Harrison streets. West Side, and, with the buildings of the Presbyterian Hos¬ pital, which form part of the plant, constitute a mammoth medical edu¬ cational group. The faculty is com¬ posed of some of the most promi¬ nent members of the professson, and the classes are always large. Safe Deposit 'Vaults.—It often happens, in a large city like Chicago, that a person, by thrift and economy, has come into pos.session of money or other valuables, for whh h they have no place for safe-keeping at home or elsewhere, and it may not be convenient for them to have a pon¬ derous safe. For these the great coöperative safes of the city have been built and are managed. There are fifteen of them, nearly all built in connection with some banking insti¬ tution, and offering almo^t perfect safety for the funds or valuables therein deposited. A description of 193 SAT—SAF one will cover all, in the main feat¬ ures. The vaultsand other rooms con¬ nected therewi'h are all on tlie {iround floor of the building. The space occu¬ pied is divided into a manager's otlice, a safe-vault, or " strong room," a storage vault, anaparimeni forl idies, and al.so one for gentlemen, in which private examination of boxes can be is a large room, and not a simple passage-way between a row of safes on either hand. The space is usually not "cribbed, cabined, and con¬ fined," but is ample for light, air, and future developments. Great care is taken in their construction to make them proof again.st any fire tlnit might occur in the building or Rush Medical College, Harrison and Wood Streets. made. " Strong room " is the stand¬ ard English name for what, in this country, is termed a large vault for the storage of valuables, such as cash, bonds, etc. This name of " strong-room " is peculiarly applica¬ ble to the vaults of the safety de¬ posit companies, from the fact that it 13 neighborhood, as also against the depredations of skilled burglars. The foundaiion is a solid mass of stone and concrete eight feet in thick¬ ness, commencing below the water- level. On this bed of concrete rests the walls of the vaults, which are thirty-six inches thick, built of hard SAP—StO 194 brick, cements, and steel railroad rails, in such form and design as to make them proof against any attack of man or the elements. The top of the vaults are constructed in like manner as the sides, the center sup¬ ports being heavy iron girders, rest¬ ing on iron columns, the bases sup¬ ported by piers, surrounded by the solid stone and concrete before mentioned. They are as absolutely flre and burglar proof as the inge¬ nuity of man can devise. The en¬ trances are guarded by double doors of most massive strength, the outer ones weighing in the neighborhood of half a ton. They are opened and closed by delicate and complicated machinery, without this they could not easily be handled. All the double doors are locked with double combination locks, so arranged as to work separately, as may be desire 1. To make eveiything all the more secure, the entrances are supplied with chronometer locks, which, act¬ ing automatically, set the bolts when the doors are closed, releasing them at any time within two or three days. But whatever the fixed date may be, the machine holds its charge firmly until it comes, against all attack, except actual destruction. The "strong-room" will accommo¬ date from 4,000 to 6,000 individual safes for the use of renters. These are provided, according to the fancy of the renter, with a key or combina¬ tion lock. Every key is different from every other, arid the lock is always changed before re-renting. Each safe is provided vdth one or more tin cases to hold the contents. It is always under the entire and absolute control of the renter, and subjéct to his personal access only, or his duly accredited deputy. The "strong¬ room " is always brilliantly lighted with electric lights, and thus is any¬ thing but a noisome "vault." A writer, speakiug of the English " strong-room " says: "No one wiU ever know how many millions' worth of valuables are stored up in one of these great safe deposit companies, for each customer has bis own spe¬ cial lock-up, and keeps his own key and counsel." There are a series of private retiring rooms, whose bolted doors secure privacy when examin¬ ing the contents of the box for any purpose. Separate rooms are pro¬ vided for ladies and gentlemen. Thoroughly reliable watchmen are always on guard at all hours, by day or night. The rooms opening from the street are lighted at all hours, thus giving a full view of the mass¬ ive vault doors and interior arrange¬ ments to passers-by, who are thus involuntarily made a patrol and an additional safeguard. Electric appa¬ ratus communicates instantly with the police and fire departments. In¬ cluded in these safe deposits are arrangements for the storage of trunlä and boxes for a longer or shorter time. And all this security can be had at a nominal cost. Among these deserving of especial mention is the old and popular Commercial Safety Deposit Company, located at 88 Monroe Street, between Dearborn and State streets. Many of the most prominent people of the city place their valuables within its ample, re¬ liable, and thoroughly safe vaults. "Keep your own key and counsel," is the copyright trade-mark of this institution, and the advice it carries is thoroughly appreciated. Mr. Samuel Powell, Manager. The Masonic Temple Safety Deposit Company, located in the Masonic Temple bldg., N. E. cor. State andRandolpti Sts., has the lar¬ gest and most magnificently appoint¬ ed Safety Deposit Vaults in the world, has 20, ooo strong boxes, ranging from $2.50-$30_per year, according to size. This is said to be the only Safety De- 19Ö StG—StJ posit company in the world furnish¬ ing both day and night service, an ad¬ vantage that cannot be overestimated by its patrons. Captain Edward Wil- liams, the well known mngr. of the Masonic Temple bldg., is the presi¬ dent of the company. St. Ignatius College, located at 413 West Twelfth Street. This splendid institution, for the higher education of the Catholic youth of Chicago and vicinity, was erected in 1869, It is conducted by the Fathers of tlie Society of Jesus. A charter was granted to the college by the Legislature of the State of Illinois, June 30, 1870, with power to con¬ fer tlie usual degrees of the various faculties of a university. The studies pursued in the college com¬ prise the doctrines and evidences of the Catholic religion, logic, meta¬ physics, ethics, astronomy, natural philosophy, chemistry, mathematics, rhetoric, composition, elocution, his¬ tory, geography, book-keeping, arithmetic, the Latin, Greek, English, German, and French lan¬ guages, and literature. The college is intended for day scholars only. The collegiate year is divided into two terms, the first beginning on the first Monday of September, the second on the first Monday of Feb¬ ruary,but students are received at any time during the year. On complet¬ ing the studies of the collegiate department, those who prove deserv¬ ing of distinction receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Subsequently, by devoting one year more to the study of philosophy or two years to any of the learned professions, they may obtain the degree of Master of Arts. St. Jarlath's Church.—This beautiful church is of thirteenth-cen¬ tury Gothic style, with the lofty, pointed gables, bold, deep buttresses, alternating lancet and trancined windows, deeply recessid and molded doorways. It is built with massive stone from base to apex and every detail executed in the highest and purest type of the Gothic build¬ ers' art, while a splendid and grace¬ ful tower, surmounted by an appro¬ priate spire, flanks the main front and adds grace and dignity to the chaste exterior. The interior is,, however, tlie feature of this edifice, for while in strict harmony with the external design, it is a revelation of the real dimensions and proportions of the structure, the auditorium or church apartment being fifty-eight feet in clear width,130 feet in length, and fifty feet in clear height from floor to ceiling. This extensive chamber is spanned by bold and sweeping arched roof-trusses which spring from the floor-level, and by their peculiar and ingenious con¬ struction enable the architect to bridge over and secure a graceful outline for the ceiling, which,in con¬ formity with the lines of such con¬ struction, assumes a polygonal form and is subdivided into numerous rich panelings, which are defined by the main constructive features of the roof. A deeply-recessed chancel at the end of this auditorium gives an added length to the interior effect. This chancel, or sanctuary portion, is richly embellished by a molded arch and ornate ceiling, and is lighted by five richly-stained windows, repre¬ senting the crucifixion and the four evangelists, while all around are other windows embellished with figures and emblems of the saints and martyrs of the church. Ample vestries are placed at either side of the chancel and are connected by an ambulatory, which extends behind the apsidel end of the sanctu¬ ary. The internal finishing is mainly of polished red oak and mahogany, and the colored decora¬ tions of the walls and eeilings blend StJ—SAX 196 hiirinoiiiously wilh the architectural features. The building- was designed and its construction superintended by Mr. James J. Egan, who was also the architi ct of the City Hall and Court Hous '. This beautiful Calho lie cluirch was dedicated October 24, 18«6. The Kev. Thomas F. Casb- niiin is in charge Located Her¬ mitage Avenue, corner of West Jackson Street. St. Joseph's Home for the Friendless isa refuge for respecta¬ ble young girls out of employment, situatid at 4U9 and 411 .">outh Ma}' Street. St. Joseph's Hospital is lo¬ cated at 361) (tarticdd Avenue and is conducted by the Sisti-rs of Charity. Patients who can are expected to pay for treatment. St, Joseph's Orphan Asylum is at 3 and 5 Douglas Place under the management of the Sisters of St. Joseph. 15i)3's and girls are received from four to eight years of age and educatetl. St. Luke's Hospital is one of the largest in the city, and is located at Micbigan Avenue and Thirty- seventh ¡Street. The medical staff are men of the highest standing in the profession. The lio.«pital is under Episcopalian management, yet no distinction is made to admission. St. Mary's Training School is conducted by the Christian Broth¬ ers. It is located at Feehanville, Cook County. Boys, principally waifs, are cared for and given in¬ structions in agriculture and me¬ chanics. St. Vincent's Infant Asylum admits children under six years of age. Children are boarded here by their parents, and others are brought in by the police. The Sisters of Charity, by whom it is conducted, have recently moved into their new and handsome building, located at 191 La Salle Avenue. Saint Xavier's Academy.— This is certaiidy a handsome struct¬ ure. Tlie institution was first opened in 1846, since which time it has occupied a ])osition in the ciiuca- tioual history of Chicago worthy of note. It is c()ndncte(l by the Sisters of Mercy, who devote their time and abilities to the moral, as well as jirac- tical education of tln ir young lady impils. I he building is admirably located on Wabash Avenue, corner of Tweniy-ninth Street. It is com¬ modious, substantially built, and its interior is (uovided with all the comforts and conveniences that go to make a healthful, jileasant home. The Course of .study iindudes the various branches of "education that fit a young lady to occupy her proper position in the walks of life. Saloons.—January 1, 1891, there were 5,650 .saloons in Chicago, em¬ ploying 17,050 males, and 3,900 females; total, 20,950 persons. Thus it will be observed that it requires quite an army of people to serve the people of Chicago who are not ad¬ verse to looking upon the wine when it is red, or the beer when it foams in the glass The saloons pay a license to the city of |500 each per year, and a revenue tax to the Gov¬ ernment of t25 per year for the privilege of selling cigars and to¬ bacco. This is a revenue to the city of $2,825,000, and to the Govern¬ ment of $141,250. Sanitarium, The Lincoln Park, is] situated on the lake shore at the foot of Fullerton Avenue, in Lincoln Park. The building was especially designed for the purpose ,7 SAN—SC A and is directly over the water, being erected on a great platform, 90 feet wide, projecting into the lake over 200 feet. The itroad roof, witli its over-hanging eaves, covers a floor space of nearly 18,000 square feet, over which swing hundreds of infants' hammocks. The wide verandas and an open-air court at the lake extremity furnish accommodations for tlie mothers and older children. At the shore end tire grouped the necessary oftices. On the right of the entrance is a commodious receptiou-mom from which the guests pass to the doctor's ortlce for examination and for medical attention when required. Thenci- the guests are registered in the ottice and the matron gives them in charge of trained nurses who assign them to suitable quarters, provide hammocks, chairs, etc. The matron's room, connecting both with the office and the physician's room,is a large dormitory for the care of critical cases which it may be neces¬ sary to keep over nii^ht. There are also kitchen, pantries, store-rooms, bath-rooms, closets, etc. The west front of the Sanitarium is connected with the park by a broad bridge, with a gentle ascent for baby car¬ riages. Being in close proximity to the zoological department and other features of interest in the park, the other children, who in many cases must be brought with the baby, find enjoyment and pastime without encroaching upon the Sanitarium proper The total co.st of the build¬ ing aiid equipment of the Sanitarium to date is $12,375; of this sum the Jiaily A'e/ra contributed $1,000 and advanced $10,049.25 as a loan, which is gradually being paid by public contributions. The Sanitarium is free to all, but it is especially de.sign- ed for the children of those compelled to live in crowded tenement houses, or in the dirty, dingy back streets, where the sun beats down pitilessly. and the air in the stuffy little rooms is fairly stifling. Babies of this class get a new hold on life by spending a few days every week at the Sani¬ tarium The cost of entertaining each little guest is about ten cents a day, a sum which can be spared by almost every one This is a noble charity and should be encouraged. Thousands of the babies are cared for in this place every day through¬ out the summer months. Sanitary Police.—At present the roster of the sanitary police force of the Health Department numbers 34 men, one from each ward in the city. Chicago may well be proud of her .sanitary squad. There arc few cities in the Union that can show a squad of men possessed of as much intelligence and certainly none con¬ taining as many faithful workers. The salary of a sanitary policeman is the same as a member of the police force ($1,000) per annum. The total number of notices to abate nuisances served during the past year by the sanitary police was 29,386. Scandinavian Blethodist Episcopal Churches.—The fol- lowing list gives the names and loca¬ tions of those in Chicago: First Norwegian Church, corner West Indiana and Sangamon streets. First Swedish Church, northwest corner Market and Oak streets. Immanual Norwegian Church, West Ohio Street, corner Noble Street. Maplewood Avenue Norwegian Church, corner Thompson and Maplewood avenues. Second Swedish Church, North May Street, between West Ohio and West Erie streets. Third Swedish Church, Fifth Avenue, corner Thirty-third Street. SCH—SCH 19Ö Schools, Public.—There is n th¬ ing within the range of political economy that more enrich s the world, and no more potent factor in the development and advancement of an enlightened civilization, than a comprehensive system of public edu¬ cation. The m thods and achieve¬ ments of past generations have been recognized and improved by the people of the present period, and it is gratifying that the record indicates Chicago to be in the front rank in her facilities, and methoilsfor train¬ ing the minds and molding the character of the youth of to-day, and preparing for the coming generation. It is also gratifying that the public school system of this city receives that generous support and attention from our citizens, that itsmagnitude and importance is entitled to. In 1887 the amount appropriated and otherwise available for educational purposes was nearly $3,250,001), in 1888, nearly $3,500,000, in 1889, about the same amount, in 1890, nearly $4,750 000, and the pr. sent yearover $5,500,000. Thus it will be seen, that over $17.250,000 have been appropriated during the past live years for the construction and maintenance of our schools. About 86 per cent, of this amount is from taxation, the balance, the revenue from school property. There are 218 school buildings with a seating capacity of 125,000. There were Icé school rooms added during the past year ; over $500,000 were expended dtiriag the same period for additional land and buildings. The total en¬ rollment of pupils reaches 139,000. There are nearly 7,000 pupils in 65 buildings rented at an expense of nearly $33,000, which, capitalized at 4 per cent., equals $800,090, or repre¬ senting the interoBt on the estimated cost of ten sixleen-room buildings. Comment is unnecessary. There has been expended for school purposes in the annexed districts about $1.250i 000, to meet this the same territory provides a trifle over $759,000. Night schools cost the city nearly $77,000 during the year ; the compulsory feature about $15 000; deaf and dumb tuition $5,0( 0 ; manual training $10,00) ; music nearly $13,- 000; drawing ovi r $17.500; and phys¬ ical culture about $15,500; foreign languages $115,000. It is estimated that the average pupil leaves the public school about the age of 13 to 14 3-ears ; and hence to avail him or herself of the advantages of the va¬ rious branches taught in the public schools and also to acquire a fair knowledge of those essential branches that will best fit them for the batile of life, they should be studiotis and industriotts during their limited period of attendance. The present cost value of the school property of Chicago is $11,- 000,000. By far the greater part of this has been accumulated since the fire of 1871 which destroyed many buildings. The school-houses are all that could be desired being thorough¬ ly modern, artistic, convenient, and comfortable. The public schools of Chicago are conducted under the supervision of a Board of Education which consists of 15 members (some of vhom are females) appointed by tlje Mayor. They serve without compensation and are about equally divided politi¬ cally. The executive department is in charge of a superintendent, salary $5,000;two assistant superintendents, salary, $4,000; three assistant super¬ intendents, salary, $3,500; clerk, attorney, school agent, building and supply agent, book-keeper, assistant clerk, assistant clerk and messenger, a.ssistant to building and supply agent, stenographer and type-writer, messenger an.l assistant to supply department, and chief engineer.

Including the principals of the various schools there aie 2 920 teachers employed. The salaries paid teachers range from $400 to $2,400 per annum. These salaries are graded by the position and length of s rvice. The schools are graded from primary to high schools, and the student who leaves the high schools with a diploma is far enough advanced to enter any of the famous institutions of learning in the land. Scientific and Learned Societies.—Eastern cavilers to the contrary notwithstanding, Chicago has a large number of educated scientists, who have formed several societies, among which may be mentioned: The Chicago Academy of Sciences, founded in 1857, and at present located in the Exposition Building. A new structure will be erected, or new quarters will be found in th : Art Institute, or on the World's Fair grounds. Chicago Astronomical Society, founded in 1863. Owns the telescope in use at ^ orthwestern University. I loRTicuLTüRAii SOCIETY, incor¬ porated 1890, for the purpose of annual horticultural exhibitions. Ridgway Ornithological Club, 131 Wabash Avenue. State Microscopical Society, 184 Wabash Avenue. Seating Capacity of Thea¬ tres.—Chicago, with twenty theatres all told, and a population of 1,500.000, has a seating capacity for theatrical patrons of 24,000, while New York, with thirty-three theatres, has a seat¬ ing capacity of double this number. It will be seen from this statement that Chicago would support more places of amusement in the~shape of first-class play houses. Seminary of the Sacred Heart.—Blind, indeed, would be any sight seer in Chicago, who could ride on the West 9'welfth Street cars, from Halsted Street to Ashland Avenue, and fail to notice the sub¬ stantial buildings and spacious grounds of the Seminary of tlie Saered Heart at 4»5 West Taylor Street. The structures are built of a gray brick, in the gothic form of a cross, and show the massive solidily peculiar to the establishmenls of tiie Catholic Church. They cover but a small part of the ten acn s of grounds, included in the block bounded by Taylor and Sibley streets, Gilpin Place and Throop Street. These grounds are kept in nice order and tell of the unwearied care in all minor details necessary for successful management. This institution was founded in 1860 and incorporated in 1870. It is main¬ tained as a boarding school for young ladies, with ample accommo¬ dations for about 200 siudents. The whole interior is conveniently ar¬ ranged and tastefully fitted, so far as color and decoration are con¬ cerned, for the purpose for which it is designed. The school is in charge of the Religieuse of the Sacred Heart, who also maintain here a parochial .school of about 1.000 girls, where all branches are taught that are taught in the public schools. The Order, in addition, carry on a branch school on the North Side (see Academy of the Sacred Heart). It is conceded by all who have me ins for judging, that there is no finer school in the country for the education of young ladies than this. And though but a third of a century old, its graduates rank most favorably with those of any other institution, whether State or private. The Lady Superior, Miss Spalding, is a sister of Bishop Spalding of Peoria. She is well known throughout the coun- SEM—SEW 200 try for her eminent fitness for the place slie so admirably fills. Servite Sisters' Industrial Home ior Girls is at 1396 West Van Buren Street. Servants are human. This is a fact which most of the persons who are unable to keep a servant in their houses for any length of time are apt to forget. On the other hand, the atmosphere of republican institutions is fatal to good service. You may take your choice in Chicago of Irish, Negro, Swedish, French, or German "help." as it is called, and it is largely a matter of taste. There are good servants to be found among those of each race. If you want a servant the best way is to advertise in one of the daily papers. Having selected from among the applicants one who appears to answer your requirements, personally investigate his or her character, as written characters are as a rule untrust¬ worthy and not worth the trouble of reading. Intelligence offli es have around them ordinarily only the worthless and refractory servants who never stay long in any one place, and whose faces constantly recur at these haunts. It is a use¬ less waste of time, energy, and money to call upon those servants who advertise in the daily jiapers, as it only encourages tie m in tiiis practice to run after them. Added to this is the, by no means small, danger to a lady of being molested in the tene¬ ment houses and vile neighborhoods from which many of these impudent advertisements are put forth. The wages demande d by servants average at present about as follows: Females to do chamber work, $10 to $14 per month; to do general house¬ work, $14 to $16 permonih; to cook, $12 to $20 per month; for plain cooking and for fine cooking, from $20 upward; coachmen who board themselves, $40 to $60 per month; male waiters from $20 to $25 per month, with board. These figures of course vary with the size of the family and the nature of the work. Servants are not entitled to any per¬ quisites whatever, and if yoir allow them to do your purchasing of groceries, meat, vegetables, it is not unlikely that you will find that thcy receive a percentage upon your bills from tradesmen. It is useless to for¬ bid female servants to ha\ e follow¬ ers," as their love, like that of their betters, laughs at locksmiths. The best way is to allow them to receive their visitors under certain regulations that you may make, and after acquainting yotirself with the character of the visitor. Sewerage of Chicago.—On February 16, 1847, a legislative act supplementary to the city charter granted power to the common coun¬ cil to build and repair sewers by special assessments upon the prop¬ erty benefited thereby. In the year 1849 Madison Street east and west and' State Street north and south were decided upon as the summit in the South Division of the city; the grade of that portion lying north of Madison Street and west of State Street to slope to the non h and drain inio the main ri' er. The por¬ tion east of State Street to slope east and drain into the lake. The por¬ tion south of Miidi.son Street and west of State Street to slope west and discharge into tlie South Branch of the river. Nothing was done in the way of drainage,except open ditches, until the .tear 1850, when tr angular shaped wooden box sewers were built in Clark, La Salle, and Wells s reets from the main river to the alleys south of Randolph Street; the cost of these sewers was $2,871.90, wliich amount was wholly paid for by till! proj erty benefited. 201 SEW-SEW By act of J^egislature, dated June 23, Í852, a commission consisting of seven members was appointed and empowered to locate, construct, and maintain ditches, culverts, and em¬ bankments, bridgi s, and roads in any lands lying in Townships 37,38, 39, and 40 north. Ranges 12,13, and 14 e st of the third principal meridian (Co )k County), and to take the land and material necessary for these im¬ provements and assess the costs of such work upon the land they denied to be benefited thereby. An examination showed the com¬ missioner tliat nearly 100,000 acres of swamp land was contained within tlie lim.ts of their commission, much of wliich was considered to be nearly worthless owing to the lack of drain¬ age,and the service of which was from five to twelve feet above the lake level, and need only properly con¬ struct' d ditches to reclaim and make a large p' rtion of it available for ag¬ ricultural purposes and occupation. In two years the Commission ex¬ pended about $100,000 in legal im¬ provements, and large tracts of land were reclaimed from swamps and made suitable for cultivation and oc¬ cupation, wh'ch had been considered uninhabitable. The land drained ex¬ tended about four miles nortb, eight miles west, and ten miles south from the then city limits, nearly ail of which has since been annexed to the city. From 1856 to 1860 there were 53.70 miles of sewer built bv the Sewerage Commissioners, By act of the Legis¬ lature, 1861, the Board of Sewerage Commissioners was abolished, and a Board of Public Works was created. The Board of Public Works was continued in power until September 19, 1876. Total number of miles of sewers in place December 31, 1876, 265.80. Nearly 72 miles of sewers have been added to the sys¬ tem dttring the year 1890, making the total in the city 785 miles. Dur ing the same year, 300 miles of sewers and 1,200 catch-basins have been cleaned; 6,000 of the latter were raised to grade, and 47 miles of house drains were laid. An area lying between Sixtieth and Ninety- fifth streets, and Vincennes Avenue and the lake, comprising about 9,300 acres, is too low to drain by gravity, therefore the storm water and sew¬ age must be taken care of by machin¬ ery and other special means, which are now under consideration. The Bureau of Sewers is under the De¬ partment of Public Works. During the year 1890 this bureau expended $1,111,399,21, The sewers are of brick and pipe, and are fr. m 9 inches to 71 feet in diameter. In lineal feet they measure in the aggre¬ gate 4,149,317 feet. The total catch- basins are 26,489. number of man¬ holes 30,016. total number of house drains put in 127,570, total cost of cleaning sewers and catch-basins $971,338,88. Street intersections and repairs of sewers $759,489.01. Total cost of construction $1(1,965,669,98. These figures represent the total cost for the construction of sewers and catch-basins, and maintaining same since the establishment of the sewer- a'ie system, in 1855, to January 1, 1891. Through the medium of the drainage canal (which see),in time the entire sewerage of Chicago will find its way into the Mississippi River, leaving Lake Michigan, the great res¬ ervoir from which the city obtains its water supply, pure and free from the contamination of sewerage. Sewer-Gas.—There is no more prolific source of such deadly dis¬ eases as typhoid fever, diphtheria, and malarial affections generally, than the presence, often undetected, of sewer-gas in dweliing houses. The first care of persons into apart¬ ments or dwellings should be to ex¬ amine the waste pipes to see that they SEW-SIG 202 are properly trapped with automatic or elbow trap. This simple trap, which aet.s by always retaiiiiug a cer¬ tain quantily of water in the bend, which the gas can not penetrate, is the only one which never gets' out of order. There should not o;ily be a large trap, where the main waste pipe joins the sewer, but there niu-t be a trap to every opening, whether wa.sh-haud basin, wash-tub sink, water el set, or balh tub. If they are mis.sing, the landlord or agent of the place should be iiotiüed at once, and if he fails to supply the deficien¬ cies, by notitying the Board of Health, City Ilall, either personally or by letter, a sanitary inspector will be detailed to examine the premises and compel the owner to make the proper alterations. Sheridan's Statue. — Union Park is to have a statue of the late Gen. P. H. Sheridan, and it is to be the gift of Charles T. Yerkes. Two years ago, while attending the Paris Exposition, Mr. Yerkes arranged for the electric fountain at Lincoln Park, and last year, on his annual visit, he coniracied with a prominent sculptor for the Sheridan statue. The statue will be life .size, cast in bronze, and will represent the hero on horseback, as nearly as po.ssible as he appeared in his famous ride from "Winchester. The statue will be placed in position during the coming year. Sheriff's Offices.—The offices of the Sheriff of Cook County are in the county wing of the City Hall, in the northeast corner, on the ground floor, fronting on Clark and Ran¬ dolph streets. Business hours cor- r spond with the usual hours of the city; but communication can always be had with the authority resting there, through deputies. Sherman House. —There is hardly a traveler who has ever passed through Chicago that has not heard of, visited, or been a guest of, the Sherman, In the first place, the lo¬ cation is directly in the midst of the heart of the town—all the theatres, ail of flie lailroad offices, the court house, and many of the banks are in its immediîite vicinity—hence the desirability of being at this house; secondly, it is one of the be.st equipped and well managed of hotels. Its rates are always reasonable while the ■service, the appointments, the cui¬ sine, etc., are in every respect just wdiat one would desire. Sir. J. 1. Pierce is proprietor. Located north¬ west corner of Clark and Randolph streets. Sight-Seeing.—People do not come to Chicago to gather moss off venerable walls, or pluck grass out of the streets, but to see the symbol of American pluck and energy in its purest intensity. You will not find here time-eaten cathedrals, spacious art galleries, in which the choicest treasures have been collecting for centuries. When our civilization is as old as the Eastern, it will be just as interesting, and will not be bap¬ tized with blood either. We have no antique mu.seums. nor historic struct¬ ures which reek with crime or the wrongs of mankind against his fel¬ low. Still, for a city over whose known .site a hundred years have not yet passed, we think visitors may find many items of intere.st in the stirring records with which the present gen¬ eration are familiar, and indeed were a part of. We liave the Libby Prison Museum, full of the relics of the late "unpleasantness," the His¬ torical Society, the Public Library, the Newberry Library, the Crerar Library, whose dimensions and scope are but just outlined. In the art galleries and trade museums, the •shops and warehouses, are stored the collections made from every part of 203 SIG-SIT the globe, tally exemplifying, by their artistic beauty, the art-skíll of the hands that fashioned, and the brains that conceived, them. A tour of the shops would be a very satis¬ fying trip to the lover of the beauti¬ ful. In their proper places will be found a descripiinu of the great Roman Catholic Cathedrals and other endowments, also of other churches of note. Then there are benevolent and reformatory institu¬ tions. While we c m not ftiruish as full a dose of prison as New York city, we can do as well on the insti¬ tutions designed to make a man better, and keep him so. We ha\ e the oust iin hou.se and post olliee, the breakwater belonging to the United States Government, the City ilall, the Auditorium Tower and the weather clerk, the Ciiamher of Com¬ merce and its tower, from which, with a fair glas.s, on a ch ar day, one can seethe we.st shores of ülichigau. Then the Masonic Temple, wilit its twenty stories, will tempt a climi) to "see how the weather is up there." Then there is South Water ¡street, from which the city supplies its table ; the stock yards, from whence comes its meats; the great grain elevators; the magniücent depots; the tunnels under the river: the water works; the park and boulevard system; the press rooms of the great daily papers; and the largest map manufactory in the world. Rand, McNally & Co. Then there are the cycloramas, and the thea'res, and the coming World's Columbian Exposition to take up weeks of a visitor's stay. It is all new, and young men manage it all. It can hardly be said that Chicago is the paradise of old men. Those who desire to see the old and musty must not turn their faces toward the young and virile West. Signal Service.—The United States Army Signal Service has its Chicago station in the Auditorium tower. The oflice is in charge of a sergeant and his assistant. Reports are received by telegraph fruin 150 other stations distril)uled over the country; observations arc taken and forwardi d to these stations; and cautionary signals are displayed whenever a storm is threatened. Sinai Congreg'ational Ceme¬ tery.—Located at Rosehill. (See lionc/i ill C 'c mtitcnj. ) Sinai Temple, in Moorish .style of architecture, is located on Indiana Avenue corner Twenty-fir.st Street. The Sinai congregation includes many of the leading Jewish families of the city. The auditorium is in amphitheatre stv le, and th ■ interior iinishi g and furnishing aie very tine. Rev. E. G. llir.scli is minister. Site of Fort Dearborn.—The original Eort Dearliorn was erected in 1803, the exact site of which was at the junction of River Street and M'chigan Avenue, a.gainst the South end of Rush Street bridge. The large and beautiful building of the W. M. Ho3't Company, grocers, now occupies tliis valuable and historical spot of ground. Tliisbuilding bears on its north side a marble tablet on which is engraved the following; •'This building occupies the site of old Fort Dearborn, which ex¬ tended a little across Michigan Ave¬ nue and somewhat into the river as it now is. The fort was built in 1803-1 forming our outmost defense. By order of General Hull it was evacuated August 15, 1812, after the stores and provisions had been dis¬ tributed among the Indians. Very soon after the Indians attacked and massacred about fifty of the troops and a number of citizens, inciuding women and children, and next day burned the fort. In 1816 it was rebuilt, but after the Black Hawk SIT—SMO 204 •war it went into gradual disuse, and in ilay, 1837, was abandoned by the Army, but was occupied by various Government offices till 1857, when it was torn down, excepting a single building which stood upon the site till the great fire of October 9, 1871." "At the suggestion of the Chicago Historical Society, this tablet was erected Nov., 1880, by W. M. Hoyt." Size of Cities.—The existing Paris covers 19,275 acres, or about thirty square miles, while London with 4,000,000 population contains 118 square miles, and Chicago as recently enlarged provides an area of 181 square miles for 1,250,000. The average distance from the center of Paris to the circumference is only three miles. Minneapolis with only 165,000 people has a municipal area more than twice as large as Paris. Almost the entire population of Paris is housed in the flats of tene¬ ment structures averaging from four to five stories in height. There are about 75,000 houses in Paris with an average of thirty people in a house. In the old arrondissements of the inner Paris there are about 30,000 houses accommodating about 1,000,- 000 people. London will average about eight persons to a house for the whole metropolis, but the people of Paris are better housed, all things considered, than those of London. A population of 2,500,000 within a circle whose radius is only three miles is certainly very dense, but it must be remembered that Paris is a many-storied city. Skating.—Skating in Chicago was formerly a popular winter amusement, but the semi-tropical nature of the winters since 1888 has almost destroyed the pastime. The parks, especially Lincoln, furnish excellent facilities for skating, and a short spell of cold weather brings out thousands of skillful skaters. A small strip of the lake close to the shore can also be utilized for this enjoyment, "Slot" machines.—In many public places such as railway sta¬ tions, museums, etc., are to be found numerous automatic machines for various purposes. By dropping a cent or a five-cent piece, as the case may be, into a slot, the machine is set in motion. Some tell the patron his exact weight, some perfume his handkerchief with cologne water, some provide him with candy, chew¬ ing gum, or a paper-bound novel; some serve you with cigars, others with mineral waters; some give elec¬ tric shocks; some set in motion an exquisitely constructed miniature locomotive, steamboat, or fire-engine while a music box plays an air, and at least one gives the patron a tin- type portrait of himself. Many of the Edison phonographs are operated in the same way. Occasionally these machines are out of order, and the customer loses the money deposited in the slot. At many of the theatres, boxes are placed at the backs of the seats, each containing an excellent opera-glass, which may be taken from the box and used during the performance by the simple act of dropping a ten-cent piece into a slot. Smoke.—"After 100 years of commercialism we have learned to breathe dirt as well as to eat it" says a foreign writer. The same asser¬ tion is true in a modified degree as to the denizens of Chicago. Long fa¬ miliarity with smoke and soot has bred indifferfnce to them, if not the pioverbial contempt. The effects, however, are visible on every hand in pallid faces, faltering steps, and de¬ crepit forms, A lack of vitality la 205 SMO—SOC seen on every hand. Lassitude has usurped the place of energy, and in many instances enterprise starting forth ■with vigor and enthusiasm of a fresh revelation has relaxed its hold and degenerated into a simple remin¬ iscence. Tlie City Council has fre¬ quently legislated against this evil, the smoke-inspector has done won¬ ders in abating the nuisance, yet tlie fact remains, that the city is still afflicted in a very large degree with the dusky incubus. The pure air of heaven wafted over the broad ex¬ panse of Lake Michigan from the east, or carried over the broad prai¬ ries from the south and west becomes contaminated, and when inhaled in¬ to the lungs produces physical re¬ sults prejudicial to the public health and well-being. But the evil effects of a system that tolerates the smoke nuisance are not confined to physical conditions; they affect the moral and intellec'ual standing of tbe commu¬ nity. Sidney Smith once said that a filthy man can never be a moral man. Neither can a city or a community, enveloped in smoke and dirt be a prosperous place. A few may reap rich harvests from the toil of the many, but squalor will perch upon every gate post and poverty keep watch and ward at every window and door of the mass of the people. The evils which flow directly and indirectly from our present system, or want of system, are too numerous to mention. They are beyond mone¬ tary calculation. They affect the adult population, hut more especially the rising generation. They shadow the lives of the young with a blight that can never be removed. They render the closing days of the aged less endurable by accumulating upon their heads ills from which they should be exempt. The all-pervad¬ ing smoke permeates every home and saturates the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. The most sacred precincts of every home are defiled; the very founts from which infancy draws its suste¬ nance are polluted. The smoke is¬ sue is a present and a pressing one in Chicago. Much has already been done to mitigate the nuisance; much more needs to be done. By radical mea-»ures the city may be rid of an evil that can find no excuse for ex¬ istence, and thus conduce largely to the physical beauty and general wel¬ fare of Chicago. During the past year this branch of the health de¬ partment has demonstrated bejmud any doubt—and a very decided change in our atmosphere bears wit¬ ness—that the smoke nuisance can be abated by .rigidly enforcing the existing ordinances. There are sev¬ eral smoke-consuming devices on the market that are reasonably effective, and they should be on every furnace that consumes large quantities of bituminous coal. The railroads as a rule are conforming with the ordi¬ nance, and every factory should be compelled to do so.

Its object is to promote the welfare of boatmen and their familii-s. who dejíend on the western lakes and rivers for support. Society for Home Teaching of the Blind, has a free lending library of several hundred volumes of choice books printed in rai.sed let¬ ters. The society employs a teacher :o give instructions to the blind at their own homes. South Chicago is the seat of the great rolling mills of two large com¬ panies, besides iron works of various other kinds, also tin-plate ware, sash and blind factories, and a number of large lumber concerns. It lies on the lake in full view from Lake Park and with its towering chimneys, smoke¬ stacks, furnace-tlues, etc., presents a busy scene of manufacturing habita¬ tion. Sons of Maine, hold social re-unions at the Palmer House. South Side Free Dispensary is at Twenty-sixth Street and Prairie Avenue. Physicians from this dis¬ pensary visit the poor who are un¬ able to call at the hospital, for which no charge is made. Special Assessments, Bureau of.—The streets of Chicago are improved; that is to say. graded, paved, sewered, etc., by special as¬ sessments made on the abutting prop¬ erty. These as.sessments are paid in five yearly in-tallmeni.s, with interest at 6 per cent, per year, or the entire amount may be paid at one lime, at th'' option of the i)erson asse.ssed. The asse.ssnients are made by the Bureau 01 Kpecial Assessments,which is compo.sed of three commissioners. This is, howevei, a bureau in the de¬ partment of public works. The ag¬ gregate special assessments for the past thirty years reaches the enor¬ mous amount of $47,6114.099.70. The average amount for eai h year being $1 589,803.32. During the year bs90 the amount levied on abutting ami adjoining property for all descriptions of street improve¬ ments, was $6,987,155.48, or about $6.50 per capita of population. As compared with the previous year, it shows an increase of .$2,766,285.55, or 65 3-10 per cent. The willingness with which the property-owners im¬ pose upon them.seives this enormous amount of special taxation is the best evidence of their material pros¬ perity, and their unbounded faith in the commercial destiny of this city. Spiritualists.—There are sev¬ eral societies of these which hold meetings more or less regularly every Sunday, but they have no fixed quarters. Besides these meetings, ' ' seances" are given at private houses, to which admission is generally pro¬ curable by the payment of an en¬ trance fee of $1 or less. Both meet¬ ings and "seances" are advertised in the religious columns of the daily papers. There are also many so- called mediums who give private seances, and profess to divine one's future. Standard Theatre.—This the¬ atre is on the West Side, at Halsted and Jackson streets. Its interior is very fine, both in decoration and ar¬ rangement, and there is a double bal- GOODRICH Line STEAMERS Run Every Day {-I Year BETWEEN Cbicago^nriiwankee in Summer to All Points on Dk( micbidan ^ @recn Bay Operate Nine CD modern Steamers.

State Banks.—The Auditor of public accounts issued a statement August 28, 1891, of the condition of the State banks located at Chicago, in which the following figures were given; Number of State banks in Chicago, twenty-three, with a total capital stock of $12,197,000; total deposits, $51,359,724; loans and dis¬ counts, $47,000,000, with resources and liabilities of $69,187,011. It will thus be observed that the State banks of Chicago compare favorably with national banks in popularit}'. State Street.—This splendid thoroughfare is one of the longest, the broadest, the most important in a busine.ss way, and the one on which the fine retail business of the city finds its maximum development. It extends from Nurlh Avenue and Lincoln Park in the. North Dvision, to a point far d 'wn toward the south end of the county, where the survey¬ ing chain of man runneth not to the contrary—in all, at least nineteen miles in a straight line from north to south. Of this stretch the northern¬ most mile is occupied chiefly by resi¬ dences < f the better class, though the State Street of the North Side is by no means the aristocratic avenue that Dearborn Street is. It is well paved, however, and before the flre was Will lined with stately elms and honored with a number of large churches. The glory of State Street begins at Lake Street, where the solid wholesale warehouses of the district near the river give way to the more showy stores which abound further south. These can not be even men¬ tioned, they are so numerous; let it suffice that from Lake Street to Twelfth Street; a distance of over a mile, there stands as good an exhibi¬ tion of ornate, graceful, varied, and costly business architecture as can be found in any equal space of a single street on this continent. Am ug the especially n'table structures are the Ma«on¡c Temple. Central Music Hall, Palmer House, Marshall Field's retail store. The Fair, the Leiter building, and further south the Al¬ lia mbra Thea're. The crowds on this street are at all times equal to those oil Broadway, New York. The street railroads fiom all directions empty their )iassengcrs here, and a jostling, elbowing, hurrying through is the result. The stranger needs no direction; he will find himself on this floating stream of life, and then it will require all his energy and skill to navigate his own little craft. Steamboats and W a t e r Transportation.—Chicago not only lays her hand upon the traffic of the United States through her enormous mileage of tributary rail¬ roads, but during the summer time, win n the straits are open, she is really a maritime city, juit as easy of access as any of the ocean seaports, because of her situation on Lake Michigan, and through the chain of lakes, canals, and the St. Lawrence Hiver, to the ocean. It is only when ■winter closes the straits of Sault Ste. Marie, that the owners of land trans¬ portation routes give freights a lit¬ tle upward boo.-t. But the cost of transportation has always been held down by the carrying capacity of the great water-route. The Graham & Morton Transportation Co. operate the elegant steamers, "City of Chicago" and "City of Milviaukee," between STE—STO 208 Chicago and St. Joseph, and Benton Harbor, Mich. A trip on the lake be¬ tween the points mentioned is some¬ thing to be remembered with a great deal of pleasure. Steamers leave Chi- cagoat9:3oa. m. andii;3op m. daily, including Sunday io:oo a. m. Sunday only; 2:00 p. m. Saturday only. Steam Heat and Power.—The Improvements that have been made from year to year, in the transmis¬ sion of heat and power from a cen¬ tral point, a great many of them hav¬ ing been invented by residents of Chicago, have rendered it possible to heat our big office buildings already finished, and those of eighteen and twenty stories, still climbing heaven¬ ward, at the minimum cost of labor and material Bet us imagine the old-f ishioned method of heating by individual stoves In each office, in a building containing from 1,0U0 to 2,000 or 3,000 tenants; coal to carry up, ashes to carry down; beside the sundry other odd jobs, a stove is con¬ stantly demanding of its owner or manager. It would take the strength of a Samson, and the wisdom of a Solomon, to accomplish the work. But before the plastering hides the rough studding, iron pipes radiate through the whole building from a central point in the basement, run¬ ning in pairs. When the building is finished a huge plant of boilers, man¬ aged by a couple of men, become the heart of the whole system, the steam is forced to the farthest room, and a return exhaust disposes of the water and dust. The engineer bums the soft coal, the cheapest fuel, which a stove could not utilize. The ashes are on the ground floor, when dropped from the furnace bars. A turn of the wrist sends the steam, on call, through the whole building. The tenant gives a turn or two to a little wheel in his office, and the unseen force throbs and pulsates through the radiator and supplies an eoual temperature all day long without any attention on his part. Not only is this true, but there are large buildings rented out, in like manner, to manufacturers of small wares, re¬ quiring a lathe or two, or a stamping press, whose whole plant only occu¬ pies a room or two. Instead of each running a separate boiler and engine, they are all supplied with power from a common point in the building, to the mutual advantage of all. Chica¬ go has introduced cooperation on many lines, and will, undoubtedly, on many more. Stock Exchange.—For many j'ears, traders in stocks resident in Chicago, were obliged to place their deals ou the New York Stock Ex¬ change. Finally as the invested in¬ terests grew larger, those most inter¬ ested, concluded to found a Chicago Stock Exchange. To say was to do. This institution is located in the Stock Exchanee building, S. W. cor. La Salle and Washington streets. It has two calls daily, one at 10.30 a. m. , the other at 2.15 p. m. It deals in all the stocks and bonds listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and quite a number that are peculiar to Chicago. It was not until 1890, how¬ ever, that the Chicago Stock Ex¬ change manifested any particular potency as a factor in the financial situation of the West. A deep inter¬ est was taken in the market, and trading was very active. The gain over the preceding year, was 912.349 shares, and the decrease of $760,900 worth of bonds. Chicago maintained her position as the second city in the United States, by thus beiiig only surpassed in her stock operations, by Wall Street. Investors prefer this Exchange, in which to sell our h cal stocks, for they command a better price here, where they are known, than in New York, where the^y are crowded, more or less, by other bet- STÜ-STR ter-known securities. The Exchauge building was le modeled and fitted up with especial regard to the needs of brokers and bankers, all the offices are arranged with an eye to the quick despatch of all business, bankers, who makcaspeciaby of ban ling se¬ curities and the documentary wealth of great corporations, occupy all the ground floor, which is not used for the purposes of the Exchange iiself. During business hours, the main hall is full of brokers, who are trading on the prices of the last call. It is hardly necessary to say, that they are in touch with all the rest of the finan¬ cial world liy telegraph or telephone, and are ready to compete with Wall btreet itself, if the chances are any¬ where near even. Its present Presi¬ dent, Charles Henrotin, did business here, as a prominent broker, long before the Exchange was organized. Storase. — Large warehouses where one can hire rooms, small enough to put in two or three trunks, or large enough to receive the furni¬ ture of an entire building, have of late been established in every part of the city. Besides renting the space for storing articles, the managers of these places will insure them against both fire and robbery, while some will advance money thereon. Ordi¬ narily the person hiring a room is furnished with a key, which gives him access at all reasonable hours. At these places, also, wagons, trucks and porters may be ordered for mov¬ ing furniture from one part of the city to the other. (See Moving.) » Street and Avenue Guide.— The Chicago river and its north and south branches, divide the city into three divisions—north, south, and west. Streets that cross the main river are north and south streets; if they run in the same direction on the West Side, Randolph Street is the 14 dividing line as far as Lnlon Park, and beyond that, Lake Street marks tue center.

Almost any section of the city can be reached within a half dozen, blocks, by some one of the gr» at division com¬ panies. On the South 8ide, the Wabash Avenue and Cottage Grove Avenue line and its connections fol¬ lows more or less closely the lake coast on the extreme east to Hyde Park, and the 8 'Uth Side parks. The State Street cars run between this line and the Wentworth Avenue line on the west, as far south as Englewood, while the Archer Ave¬ nue line runs southwest into the lumber and packing district. In the west division, the Halsted Street cars north and south, the Milwaukee Avenue, the North Avenue to Hum¬ boldt Park; the Clybourn Avenue, the Ogden Avenue, the Indiana Street, the Lake Street, the Randolph Street, the Madison Street, the Adams Street, the Van Buren Street, the Harrison Street, and the Twelfth Street lines all cross the city in a westerly direction, commencing on the South Side. On the North Side there are the Clark Street. Wells Street, Sedgwick Street, and Larra¬ bee Street lines running in a norther¬ ly direction, and connected by a net¬ work of other lines trending west and northwest. A traveler can start from the neighborhood of the City Hall, and find transportation any whither about the city. In this list STR—STR 242 of routes, we must not omit to mentiou the Lake Street elevated road, and the South bide aliey eleva¬ ted road, both likely soon to be com¬ pleted, nor the Calumet Electric Raiiway, and the Chicago & Proviso Sireet Ilailway Company, who are also running electric motors. In proportion to her extent, no city in the Union lias a more extende I or better street car service, either in mileage or inconvenience from busi¬ ness center to residence portion. On tlie main lines, all-night service is offered. We lack only the rapid transit of the elevated lines to make us happy. Street Railway Service.— Frequent and rapid communication between the centers of trade and resi¬ dence districts of cities is indispen¬ sable to their continued gro wt 11. That Chicago has kept up and is keeping up with other cities in this regard is apparent to all. From the date of the first ordi¬ nance for a street railway on State Street, from Randolph Street to the southern city limits, on March 4, 1850 to the present time, there has been a succession of extensions until there are now 395.30 miles of street railways, horse, cable, electric, and elevated. Under an ordinance pas.sed by the city council August 16, 1858, the Chicago City Railway Com¬ pany laid track on State Street from Lake Street to Madison Street, and early in the spring of 1859, the track was extended to Twelfth Street, and from this beginning its lines have been from time to time extended until now they make a total length of 152.95 miles. In 1881, realizing the impossibility of serving the people by meant of horse cars, 8 miles of cable track were laid on State Street from Madison to Thirty- ninth streets, which was open to travel June 28, 1882. In the follow¬ ing year, track was laid on Wabash and Cottage Grove avenues, making a total of 20i miles, operated from one power house located at Twenty- first and Slate streets, with 1,000 horse-power engines. The growth of business has been so great that the Company has been compelled to in¬ crease its machinery plant to 10,000 horse-power, driving 38.83 miles of cable. On the horse car lines 2,508 horses are now in service, while the cable plants are doing the work of 7,500 horses more, with 1,250 cars. June 1, 1863, the Board of Trus¬ tees of the village of Hyde Park passed an ordinance granting the right to operate over certain streets of the village to the Chicago and Calumet Horse and Dummy Rail¬ road Company, This was practic¬ ally the Chicago City Railway Com¬ pany, and the track was .soon laid on Fifty-ninth Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, as far north as Thirty-ninth Street. The system of transfers es- t iblished by tliis company has been of much importance and has added greaily to the comfort and conven¬ ience of passengers. The longest ride over the line is about thirteen miles for a single fare of 5 cents. The Chicago City Railway Company which operates the South Side cable system, during 1890 carried 68,734,- 969 passengers, producing a revenue to the company of $3,436,748; of this $2,311,455 was earned by the cable cars, and $1,125,293 by the horse cars. The cost of operating the road was $2,297,657, leaving for net earnings $1,139,097. The cost of operating per mile per car was by cable 9.650 cents, by horses 21.985 cents. Number of miles run by cable, 12,740,480; number of miles run by horses, 4,859,200. Nobth Chicago Stkebt Rail- koad Company.—The first franchise granted for a street railroad on tht 243 STR—STR North Side was on May 23,1859, and construction was soon begun on Wells street from North Water Street to Chicago Avenue. The street was at that time planked and a T rail was laid thereon. Soon after a track was laid onClai k Street as far north as Division Street. In 1864 a steam dummy was started on Evanston Avenue, running from Di- versey Street to Graceland Cemetery, a distance of about three miles. This Continued to 1881, when horses were substituted. When the present management took control of the North Side system in 1886, there were thirty-five miles of track in operation and 1,850 horses; now there are 80 3 miles of track and 1,420 horses, with 3,200 hoise-power supplied by en¬ gine.« driving 56,500 feet of cable. In 1890, a storage electric motor was given a trial which bids fair to be a great success. This machine may be adopted on some of the roads ere long. In 1862, the West Side Railroad Company had about five miles of track, some twenty cars, and 120 horses and mules. In 1887 there were 4,327 horses in u.se. In the spring of 1887 they began to lay cable track on West Madison Street and Milwaukee Avenue, starting the same in August, 1890, displacing 600 horses on Madison Street, 350 horses on Milwaukee Avenue. These horses were immediately transferred to the shorter lines, increasing the number of cars and giving the people improved service. The power used at present is 2,000 horse-power at the Rockwell Street station, and 2,000 horse-power at the Cleaver Street station, and 500 horse-power at the .lefferson Street powerhouse. The earnings of the North Chicago Street Railway Company in 1890 were $1,- 972,172; expenses $1,103,276; net earnings $868,899 ; car mileage for the same year 6,774,103. Number of passengers carried 89,481,445; num¬ ber of trips made 1,080,975. Several important extensions of the North Side system are being pushed for¬ ward at this time. West Chicago Street Railroad Company.—This compnny operates the West Side horse and cable sys¬ tem of railways, including the lines of the Chicago Passenger Railway Company. The West Side cable system consists of two lines: the Madison Street line, which runs directly west, and the Milwaukee Avenue line, which runs northwest. Both lines connect with, the down¬ town loop. The power for the opera¬ tion of the system is supplied from three distinct power houses, ali of which are supplied witii the best ma¬ chinery that could be obtained. The principal power house is located at Madison and Rockwell streets. It con¬ tains two 1,200 horse-power engines, and one of these is going night and day, while the other is lield in reserve in ease of an accident. The cable run¬ ning west to Fortieth Street is driven at the rate of 14 mile« an hour, while the one running east is driven 10}.^ miles an hour; the speed of eitiier of them, however, can be in¬ creased at will. There is in addition a Corliss engine to propel a loop rope in the power house, by means of which the cars can be reverted at Rockwell Street. The power house itself is an attractive structure, lighted by electiicity, and sur¬ mounted by a smoke stack 178 feet high. The Milwaukee Avenue Line.— The Milwaukee Avenue power house is located at the corner of Cleaver Street. It is supplied with two Corliss engines of 1,200 horse power each. Those two engines operate the entire Milwaukee Avenue system, which extends from Jefferson to Washington streets, to Armitage Avenue. The west-end rope is driven STR—STR 244 at the rate of 12 miles an hour, while the east-end rope is moved at the rate of 10}^ m des, as with the Madi¬ son Street cables. Their speed, how¬ ever, can be increased or lessened at will. The tunnel loop is operated from the third powt r house. This house is located at the corner of Jefferson and Washington streets, and is where tiie company's offices are to be found. This station is furnished with two 500-horse power Wetherell- Corliss engines, which are used to operate the Washington Street Tun¬ nel loop. The cars of both the Madi¬ son Street and Milwaukee Avenue lines are delivered to the cable at this station, and by it they are drawn through the tunnel, and around the loop. The service of this particular cable is very exacting. At times the heavily loaded trains are but a few seconds apart, yet there is seldom, or ever any cause for complaint, so perfect are all the details. The dynamos for lighting the tunnel are also located at this point, as it is also the base of an electric signal system which extends along the several cable lines. By this system the conductor or gripman can com¬ municate with the power-house or offices at any time, which is an ad¬ junct of almost incalculable advant¬ age in keeping the tracks clear, and si opping the machinery in case of an accident. The gross receipts of this company for 1890, were $3,663,381; operating expenses, $2,202,767; net income, $1,460,613; fixed charges, $755,749. The number of passengers carried during the year, was 75,152.694. The cost of carrying each passenger, averaged 2,93 cents. The number of miles traveled by the cars, was 12,- 215,903, an increase of 15.57 per cent, over the previous year. Blue Island Avenue, the great southwestern thoroughfare of the city, will also be cabled by this com¬ pany during the next year. The company are also at work on a tun¬ nel under the south branch of the Chicago River, between Jackson and Van Buren streets, which will be used for cable car purposes when completed, which will be early in 1892. Calumet Electric Street Rail¬ way.—The first electric street rail¬ way within the limits of Chicago, started October 2, 1890, and is now in operation, running from the South Chicago Rolling Mills by way of Eighty-ninth Street, Mackinaw Ave¬ nue, Harbor Avenue, Ninety third Street, and Stony Island Avenue to Ninety-fifth Street. The construc¬ tion of two additional miles is now under way on Ninety-third Street, from Stony Island Avenue to Cot¬ tage Grove Avenue and north to Eighty-seventh Street. These lines are but the beginning of an extensive system at South Chicago to connect the manufacturing and residence suburbs which now lack proper means of communication. The Rae electric system is used, the power¬ house being located alongside the Chicago & Western Indiana Rail¬ road. The generating plant consists of one 65.000 Watt rail generator, driven directly by 125-horse power engine. The South Chicago City Rail¬ way Company propose to change their plant from horse to elec¬ tric power this year. On July 10, 1885, their road was completed on One Hundred and Sixth Street, from Torrence Avenue to Ewing Avenue to Ninety-second Street, a distance of three miles. In 1886 an extension was completed on Ninety- second Street from Harbor Avenue to Commercial Avenue, and on Com¬ mercial Avenue to One Hundred and Fourth Street, on One Hundred and Fourth Street to Torrence Avenue, 245 STR—STR and south to One Hundred and Sixth Street, about three miles. In 1890, two miles of old track was taken up and relaid entirely new. The Cicero and Proviso Elec¬ tric Street Railway have recently completed about five miles of track on VV est Madison Street, West Forty- eighth Street, and West Lake Street. The Sprague overhead system is used. Elevated Roads.—Surface street railways tor a time meet tlie l equire- ments of cities, but as th-; population of cities increases,-and the limits of the city are extended, they are grad¬ ually overtaxed, and the time con¬ sumed in transit becomes a practical bar to their further extension. These difficulties are now being seriously felt in Chicago. Chicago & South Side Rapid Transit Company.—Profiting by the experience of New York, it was decided, by the proprietors of this road, that instead of constructing the road through the public streets, thus subjecting the company to suits for damages from all abutting owners, they would endeavor to acquire a right of way through private prop¬ erty by condemnation or by friendly purchase, thus fixing, and limiting at the outside, and for all time to come, the maximum cost. Having decided upon this course, the ground was carefully examined, with a view of locating where the line would be easily accessible, while doing the least damage to property, and the lo¬ cation was selected between Wabash Avenue and State Street, hence it is called the "Alley Elevated Road." A north and south alley runs nearly all the way between these streets, and a strip of land parallel with and ad¬ joining the alley was acquired at a moderate cost. The company began to secure the right of way soon after the authorization by the City Coun¬ cil, but it was not until December, 1889, that these preliminaries were sufficiently advanced to permit the erection of the iron superstructure, and, since that time, some two miles have been substantially completed, and the right of way secured for the third mile. The company hopes to open the first section of its road to the public during the present year. Lake Street Elevated Rail¬ way Company.—This company se¬ cured its right of way on Lake Street, from Market Street, west, and is now negotiating for a loop line east of Market Street. The structure consists of latticed iron columns, set at the curb line of the street, connected by girders six feet deep. These cross-girders are connected by a girder under each rail. At present two tracks are laid, but two additional tracks can be added at any time without any change of the present structure. Construction of foundations began September 21, 1889, and has been pushed, since then, as fast as the obstacles, which always beset new undertakings, could be overcome. The western, northwestern, and southwestern terminals of this road are still a matter of doubt. The mo¬ tive power will be twenty-eight ton engines, provided with drop-pans and anti-friction journals, being used, as far as practical, all night. Streets, Mileage of. — The mileage of the streets laid out within the City of Chicago at the first of the present year is as follows: Old city, including sections 25, 35, and 36, 40, 13; sections 25, 40, 13, and annexed parts of former town of Cicero, 853.- 87 miles; former city of Lake View, 131.53 miles; former tovrn of Jeffer¬ son, 242.28 miles; former village of Hyde Park, 541.94 miles; former town of Lake. 347.09 miles; Gano, Washington Heights, West Rose- land, and part of Calumet, 119 miles; total, 2,235.71 miles. Boulevards STR—SWE 246 laid out, 50 miles; viaduct ap- proaclies, 1.15 miles; grand total, 2,200.86 miles. At the present ratio, about fifty miles of street frontage per year is covered with buildings. This ratio will unquestionably in¬ crease from year to year. If this result is obtained it will require but another decade for Chicago to rank as the first city in America. Studios.—There are about 500 professional artists in Chicago, and the majority of these have handsome, and many magnificent, studios. On the seventh floor of the new Athenœum Building are fourteen excellent studios, fitted up for the use of the Society of Artists. In the Howland Block, on Pearborn Street, are the studios of several very promi¬ nent artists; and there are other studios in the Lakeside Building, and in many other business blocks. Sub-Treasury. — The Chicago branch of the United States Treasury does an immense business. The re¬ ceipts for the fiscal year ending June 30 were 177,584,354.60, and thè dis¬ bursements $76,321,587.76. The in¬ crease in receipts over the year previous was $10,535,920.56, and the increase in disbursements $12,101,- 128.61. This money came from the internal revenue and customs depart¬ ments, post offices, in a number of "Western States, and other minor de¬ partments of the Government. Of the money paid out, about $8,000,000 went to pensioners. Suburban Rapid Transit.— All the suburbs of Chicago, whether those villages now inside the limits, or those at greater distimces, are easily reached by rail. An almost countless series of suburban trains are always speeding in and out of the city, and many outlying towns can be reached from the City Hall in less time than many parts of the city proper. In the villages themselves but little has been done, however, in the way of ra|)id transit, except by the people of the towns lying west of the center of the city. An electric railroad—" The Cicero and Proviso" —has been constructed, and, afford¬ ing easy connections with the city, and between the villages of Austin, Oak Park, River Forest, and Ridge- land, is well patronized and extreme¬ ly profitable. Summer Gardens. — Closely entwined with Chicago's growth and manners are many customs that did not come over in the "Mayflower," and in tracing their origin we find them of decided Teutonic color. Among these is the German's habit of seeking the public parks, with his entire family, on Sunday. It is a mighty poor holiday for him if the good wife and children are not by to help him enjoy it; but if he can't go to the park, then he goes to the ncare.st "summer garden," consisting, in the majority of cases, of a few square feet of land attaclu d to somes.iloon, in which are several evergreen trees in boxes, some plants, and a band. As a usual thing, these bands are not ordinary players, because a G rman is a born musician. Here he sits and- drinks his beer, and laughs and chats with his wife and his neighbors, and smokes his pipe, and lets the little ones taste the beer and get stifled in the smoke. There are more preten¬ tious places, but the same causes and conditions underlie them all. Swedenborgian (New Jeru¬ salem) Churches.—'The following is a list of the names and locations of those in Chicago: New Church Temple, Van Buren street, east of "Wabash Ave. German Congregation, 410 W. Chicago Ave. 247 SWE-TEM Tax-payers' Association. — This is an organization of many of the leading and representative citi¬ zens, vho meet the first Friday of each month, at Farwell Hall. The one object of the as ociaiion is.to see that no abuses exist iu the assess¬ ment levy and collection of taxes. Tlie association lias been instrumental in having rebates from special assess- me ts refunded to many tax-payers, who woidd otherwise have remained in ignorance that the city owed them anything. Telojgraph Offices.—The main office of the Western Union Tele¬ graph Company is located in the Western Union Building, at the corner of Jackson ¡Street and Pacific Avenue, directly across the strei t from the Board of Trade and the Grand Pacific Hotel. Its principal branches are located in the Board of Trade Building, the Stock E.xchange, 164 Washington Street, 11-13 Wabash Avenue, and Union Stock Yards. During the day and evening its branches in all of the principal hotels, railway sta¬ tions, and at various points all over the city are open for business. These exceed two hundred in number. This company distributes a rate book which furnishes full informa¬ tion as to such matters. It has eight Atlantic cables con¬ necting with Great Britain, France, and Germany, and in those countries with the government telegraphs. There are over 28.000 Western Union Telegraph offices in the United States, and the Chicago office alone employs over 1.600 )e Bros, before the fire) commenced making up a set of post-fire books, running back to the memorable 9th of October, and thence onward. In 1875 they sold their books to the county, and they are now authority in the Recorder's office, under special legislative acts. In the winter of 1872-3, Charles G. Haddock, E. D. Coxe, and Frank H. VaUette began work upon a new set of books from the fire down. They issued abstracts signed Had¬ dock, Coxe & Co., but this has been changed to Haddock, Valletta & Rickards. Mr. Rickanls bought Mr. Coxe's interest. After the pur¬ chase of the Wilmanns & Thielcke books by the county, Gillmore, Pol¬ lock & Co. used these books for a year or more in making abstracts. In 1878, Otto Peltzer, who had pub¬ lished "Peltzer's Atlas of Chicago," and whose work for the county since 1853, as a profe-.sional draughtsman, had rendered him familiar with land titles and records, resigned his posi¬ tion as Deputy Recorder and Super¬ intendent of the County Abstract Department. He and a number of experts, formerly employed in the Recorder's office, united their efforts, hiring the use of Haddock, Coxe & Co.'s books for six years, afterward using the county indices. Mr. Pelt¬ zer not only issued abstracts, but wrote out a professional opinion of the title. So well w¿is this done, and so sound was his judgment on the validity of title, that tlie increas¬ ing patronage has forced him, since 1888, to take up this line of work altogether, to the exclusion of the abstract making. The very latest new-comer in the abstract of title business, styles itself "The Cook County Abstract Company." This firm commenced operations in Majr, 1888, and is winning for itself busi¬ ness. This list gives a full summary of all persons whose signatures, either individually or in firms, are likely to be found on any title records of Cook County, either before or since the Great Fire of 1871. It is not necessary for us to discuss the ab¬ solute necessity of a good title to every buyer of real estate. Traits of the Native Chica« goan.—The native of Chicago is not the lean, sad, intense, subjec.ive Yankee, nor the dilatory, fat, demonstrative dullard of the Ôusque- h inna on the Hudson Valley; but he is always fiorid, plethoric, laborious, well-fed, jolly, and complacent. A driving worker in day-light, a good sleeper of night, open, loquacious, communicative, generous, and gre¬ garious. He is prone to do things in partnership, and loves to promote his particular trade, however small, by a show of promoting the city at large. If even he can not "see it," he is unwilling to have the fact sus¬ pected for the honor of commercially glorifying the city, is something in which the humblest Chicagoan de s'res to have a share. Not in prolix disquisition and droning precept, but in practical habit of thought and work, he comprehends division of labor, mutual dependence, ai d co¬ operation of effort. Whatever he has to do, he must first try the expedi¬ ency of the idea by framing it into a co-operative plan. If it will not hold water on the joint stock prin¬ ciple, he accepts that proof of its unsoundness, and invents something else that will. Let this propensity stand on its own exalted footing. It has had an illustrious test. It is this, brought to settled habit long before the Great Fire, which accounts for the possibility of the following fact viz.: That a visitor to Chicago now, who had no knowledge of the place, would refuse to believe that a TK1-1,'K1 204 conflagralion ia 18~1, had destroyed the greater part of the city which exi-ited at tluit time. The habits of the genuine Ch'ca- goan are characterisiic. He dini s at noon, whether he is a banker or laborer, and eats tliree hearty meats a day; but not to collide with East' ru ways too directly, he calls his sup¬ per "dinner," and his dinnt r "lunch." The latter, if possible, he takes at a public house, during a period of ten minutes. He invariably wears a moustache, generally shaves his chin, gloves his hands only on dress occasions, keeps the sidewalk in business hours, unless to ride a mile, owns his horse and buggj^ for other times, if his income at all ex¬ ceeds his subsistence; is a li erary client of a daily paper; will forgive anything but diluted affectation; values his priest for his parochial energy and success; will apologize for profanity in his presence by swearing that he had never been so provoked in his life; and either expressly or tacitly connects with all ■nanner of speech, an indication that he "means business." Tremont House—This elegant hotel enjoys a reputation, established by its character which is entirely its own. In its early history no other hotel in Chicago or the west could compare with it, and its fame was co-extensive with, not alone, traveler of this, but other lands. First, it was justly renowned for its sightly .ap¬ pearance and today it stands unique, imposing and emphatic in its solidity, and withal so attractive in its archi¬ tectural elegance that the eye finds more of interest, beauty and harmony than it is possible to discover in the angularity of the "Skv-scraoers" with which the neighborhood abounds The interior of the Tremont is fur- aishad luxuriantly, and this with its superb cuisine make it the head¬ quarters tor a large number of the substantial people who visit Chicago. The Tremont House is conducted on the European Plan and the rates are very reasonable considering the character of the hotel and the excel¬ lent service. The location is very convenient and central. It occupies the southeast corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets. The Tremont House is one of the most advantage¬ ously located hotels in the city in regard to transportation. Cars to and from every depot pass the door or stop a block away; the Union loop goes by the entrance, and cables and electric cars are close by in all directions. The Tremont Hotel Company of Chicago operate this elegant and popular hotel. Mr. L. J. Clark, is the gentlemanly manager of "The Tremont" which may be regarded as the Astor House of Chicago. Turners. There are several "Turnvereins," or Turners' socie¬ ties, in Chicago; all in a flourishing condition, and with a large and steaddy increasing membership. Tht German inhabitants are particularly fond of the Turnverein, and other na¬ tionalities are beginning to evince in¬ terest in similar athletic societies. Undertakers.—For the informa¬ tion of strangers in Chicago, it may be said, that, in case of death, any undertaker will do all that is neces¬ sary, and required by law, in regard to death reports, burial permits, and the like, in addition to performing his usual oflBces. Union Club, on the North Side, at Dearborn Avenue and Washington Park Place, own and occupy a club house, whose massive construction, or¬ iginal design, and model interior is a triumph of architectural splendor. 255 UNI—UNI The club membership consists of gen¬ tlemen of afüucnce, who are recog- nizdl as the substantial citiz.ens of Chicago. Tiu; ciesigu of the interior is modeicd somewhat after the Colo¬ nial, or old English type, when the flre-places were capable of receiving the huge old back-log, and the hearth¬ stone was the gathering place for good cheer. Union League Club occupies one of the handsomest buildings in the city. Architecturally, it i.s a grand pile. Its interior, of course, is on a scale of elegance, commensurate with the wealth and taste of its members, who are gentlemen of prominence in the community. The location is central, being just oppo¬ site the south end of the Custom House. The club was organized in 1879. Union Park.—In 1853 Keuben Taylor took the initiatory step toward establishing this park, and this is how it was; Standing at the door of his old homestead, which stood a little north of what is now Park Avenue, he observed, one day, a surveying party dividing the site of Union Park into lots. He went over to Billy Carpenter's grocery store, near by, and complained about cutting the land up so. ilrs. Car¬ penter, who was leaning over the counter, overheard the conversation, and remarked: "If I was a man I would have a park there." Uncle Reuben and uncle Billy took kindly to the idea, and the former posted down to Hayes and Johnson's olBce to see what could be done. He found that they would sell it to the city for a park, at a reduced figure. He went home, drew up a petition, secured a number of signers, and sent it to the Common Council, and he and Mr. Carpenter went down to lobby it through. Opposition came from the Randolph street Aldermen and others, and the fight waxed hot. Finally after six months of discussion the Randolph street Aldermen agreed to support the measure if-they would extend the boundaries named in the l)etition so as to take in the "forks of the road," which meant the point where Lake and Washington str- ets "forked" on Randolph. This was done, and an ordinance passed only to be vetoed by Mayor Gray. But the measure had got such headway that the Council passed it over the veto, and the city purchased of Hayes, Johnson and others for $60,- 000 eighteen acres. The park is laid out with walks and drives in all manner of pretty shapes; the center is occupied by a pond in the shape of three partially formed circles, which at a point is spanned by a handsome stone bridge, and at the north end a rustic bridge and grotto underneath leads out to a diminutive island. A swan, duck, and other water-fowl fioat gracefully over the surface. The beautiful grass plats are studded with trees, fountains, rustic seats and arbors, and toward the south side is the grand observa¬ tory. It is a favorite haunt of prom- enaders and driving parties. Recently this park has passed into the hands of the Park Commissioners, since then it has undergone many altera¬ tions and improvements. On the northeast corner of the park stand the headquarters of the West Park Board. Union Park Congregational Church is located on the corner of Ashland Avenue and Washington Boulevard, just opposite the west side of Union Park. It is built of rough-dressed cream sandstone, in Gothic style of architecture, with a towering spire 175 feet high. It is one of the largest churches in the city, and with its park surroundings Union Stock Yards, near Fortieth and Uadsted Streets. 357 UNI—UNI makes a handsome addition to tne accommodate over 20,000 cattle, 130,- attractiveness of the locality, which 000 hogs, and 15,000 sheep, and it is is generally very fine.

Washington Park Club is the aristocratic racing association of Chicago. The race course is one of the finest and most liberally man¬ aged in this country. The club house at the course is a palatial affair, while the whole plant of grand stands, booths, betting-stands, club and other stables are on the most magnificent and appropriate scale. It is located at South Park Avenue and Sixty-first Street. The summer meeting which opens with " Derby Day," is a great event in turf circles. Water-Works System.—The earliest effort, of which there is any record, to provide a public water supply for the citizens of Chicago, was November 10, 1834, when the Board of Trustees paid $95.50 for the digging of a well in Kinzie's Ad¬ dition, located at what is now the intersection of Cass and Michigan streets. The settlers soon realized that the lake was the most suitable source of water, and for some years private enterprise reaped a financial harvest in operating water-carts for the supply of lake water to the citi¬ zens. This improved mode of pro¬ curing water was soon superseded by a more substantial and convenient means. In January. 188'', the State Legislature passed a law incorporat¬ ing the Chicago Hydraulic Company. The Act of incorporation contained about the same conditions for the preservation of the water from pol¬ lution and the protection of the works, as are now in force. The works were put in operation in the spring of 1842, having a reservoir, about two miles of wood pipe, and a twenty-five horse power engine drawing water from the lake. The cost of that plant wa $24,000. In December, 1841, th City Council contracted with th Hydraulic Company to supply the cit; with water for the extinguishment o fires. The pump-house was locate< at the corner of Lake Street an< Michigan Avenue, supplying but i very small portion of the South an< West Divisions of the city. Then was no supply from this source t( the North Division, and at least four fifths of the then territorial limits o the city was supplied with water foi domestic and other purposes fron the river, or by the water-cart systen from the lake. The works of the olc Hydraulic Company were operatec with varying success, until the Aci of the Legislature of February 15 1851, providing for the present works The new works was commenced ir 1852. The oldest and largest pump ing station in the city is the Nortl Side pumping station, situated at th« foot of Chicago Avenue. At first thi water was taken from an inlet basin, on the lake shore, separated from the lake by a semi-circular break-water, with an opening to the southeast, and was distributed through the three reservoirs, serving the three divisions of the city, and situated respectively at La Salle and Adams streets, Chicago Avenue and Sedg¬ wick Street, and Morgan and Mon¬ roe streets. The first two were built in 1853, and the latter iu 1854, and each held about two or three day's supply. The first iron distribution pipe was laid in Clark Street in 1852, and was four inches in diameter. The event which exerted the great¬ est influence by far on the develop¬ ment of till' water supply system, not alone in Chicago, but also of other laree lake cities, was the suc¬ cessful completion of the first lake tunnel. The plan of the work de¬ termined upon consisted of a land shaft at the western, and a lake shaft 265 WAT—WAT at the eastern extremity, to be per¬ manent, and three intermediate lake shafts for expediting the construc¬ tion, to be removed on the comple¬ tion of the work. The tunnel proper to be two miles in length, beginning on the lake shore, near the pumping works, and extending out in an east- northeasterly direction. The shafts to be protected by cribs, or hol¬ low pentagonal break-waters, from storms, vessels, and ice. The hori¬ zontal diameter of the tunnel was fixed at five feet, and the vertical two inches greater for convenience for drawing the centers during con¬ struction. The size was determined upon f- r two reasons ; First. It was sufficient to deliver a supply for l.OOO.O'iO of inhabitants, at the rate of fifty gallons per d .y f< ir each person, the average quantity used at that time. Second. Experience in Europe had shown that while it was possible to make small tunnels in the most troublesome ground, the attempt to make large ones had sometimes failed, and that otheis had been attended with enormous difficulty. The work was commenced at the land shaft March 17, 1864. From the bottom of the shaft a drift, at first only in¬ tended to be temporary, was made about fifty feet westward, with a chamber at the end, with fixtures for mounting a transit. The regu¬ lar tunnel work was commenced May 26, 1864. The formal celebration of the completion of the tunnel, and introduction of pure lake water by appropriate public ceremonies, took place March 25, 1867. The actual cost, including all preliminary and other expenses of whatever nature chargeable to the lake tunnel up to April 1, 1867, was $457,844.95. In 1869 the system of water-pipe tunnels, under the Chicago River, was originated. Before that, the pipes, at the intersection of the river, were laid on the bottom of the latter, and on August 18, 1869, the large main, thus crossing the river at Chi¬ cago Avenue, was broken by a vessel dragging her anchor. This accident deprived the West Side of water for three days, and gave impetus to the change of system. Early in 1869 the buildings and water-tower, forming the bulk of the North Side pumping station of to-day, were finished. The Great Fire of i 871 did se i ious damage to the works. The loss to buildings and machinery was estimated at $75,- I'OO. In eight days, however, the damage was repaired and the engines resumed work. On July 12, 1872, work was begun on a new lake tunnel, seven feet inte¬ rior diameter, from the crib to the North Side station, (his was finished on July 3, 1874; and on October 12th. of the same year, an extension of the same, also seven feet in di¬ ameter, under the land, to a new pumping station at Ashland Avenue and Twenty-second Street, was also completed. On September 19, 1876, the Board of Public Works was succeeded by the Department of Public Works, with a single responsible head. Late in December, 1881, the old five-foot lake tunnel was pumped dry and thoroughly examined by city officials. A deposit, from four to seven inches in depth, was found on the bottom, but the brick-work did not show a single flaw. On July 21,1884, two new engines were put in operation at the West Side pumping works; they were counterparts of the two older engines. The total pumping capacity of the West Side station was raised, by this addition, from 15,000,000 gallons to 60,000,000 gallons per twenty-four hours, and that of both works com¬ bined to 184,000,000 gallons per twen¬ ty-four hours. During 1887, a shore inlet tunnel. WAT—WOM 266 seven feet in diameter, and 1,500 feet long, with an inlet shaft i)r()tecte(l by a orib opposite the NortJi Side pumping St tion, was completed, to be used when the supply should be endangered by ice or otherwise at the lake crib two miles out. Din ing the same year two new engines were added to the North Side works, giv¬ ing an additional amount of 12,000,- OOO gallons of water per day. At the clo.se of the year, 1887, a contract was entered into forthe con¬ st) uction of a new tunnel, to be eight feet in diameter, and to extend four miles out into the lake, and the work was begun on a shore shaft at the foot of Peck Court. The land ramification for this t)innel connects the shore shaft with the two new pumping stations—the South Side pumping station, at Indiana Avenue and Fourteenth Street, and the Cen¬ tral Pumping station, on Harrison Street, between Desplaines and Hals- tpH The chief event of the year 1889, was the annexation of the suburban towns of Hyde Park, Lake, Jefferson, and Lake View, a territory with an area of lï8 square miles and a popu¬ lation of 220,000 souls, whereby the water-works system of the city ac¬ quired two pumping stations with an aggregate engine capacity of 72,000,- 000 gallons per twenty-four hours; one lake tunnel, six feet in diameter and 8,000 feet long, with a submerged inlet for Hyde Park and Lake; one lake tunnel, in process of construc¬ tion, six feet in diameter, for Lake View and Jefferson; and about 330 miles of water pipe. The city at present is supplied ■with 22 pumping engines of various types and power, representing a to¬ tal engine capacity for delivering daily 260,000 000 gallons of water. From measurements obtained there was pumped during the j'ear a daily average of over lo4,000,000 gallons. The Lyric is a new theatre in the list of playhouses in the down¬ town district. It is under the management of Martin Julian and James S. Hutton, both of w horn are experienced in theatrical matters, and promise to eleva te the house to the highest plane. The interior of this playhouse is handsomely equipped with luxurious carpets, velvet cush¬ ioned chairs and draperies. The walls and ceiling are frescoed in delicate tints relieved in appropriate turns by paintings, both cheerful and pleasing to the eye. A nursery, in w hich cribs are kept for the accomo¬ dation of mothers whose small chil¬ dren may fall asleep, is a feature. A trained nurse is in attendance in this room. There is also a room in which women may gossip and fresh¬ en their toilets. The stage is ade¬ quate and supplied with scenery of the most elaborate description. The personnel of the staff of the Lyric in¬ sures courteous attention to patrons. In fact no feature of a family theatre is lacking. Mr. Hutton was for years manager of the Lincoln theatre. His policy there has made his name synonymous with respectability, am¬ bitious managerial effort and all that is calculated to improve a theatre. Popular prices prevail at the Lyric. As an index to the character of attractions offered the management announces "The Choir Invisible," "Secret Service," Jeffreys Lewis and Company, "The Telephone Girl," Mildred Holland in "The Two Vag¬ rants, " and other leading plays and stars. Matinees are given Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. West Side Free Dispensary. —A clinical annex to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, give.s gra¬ tuit -us treatment to deserving poor. Woman's Christian Associa¬ tion was incorporated in 1871, with the object to promote the welfare of women. It keeps an employment 207 WOM—WOR bureau, a boarding house for young women and a free dispensar}'. It is located at 184 Dearborn Street. Woman's Xíachange has for its object the providing of a place for the reception and sale of articles made by women. Woman's Hospital of Chi¬ cago is located at 118 35th Street. It is devoted to the treatment of the diseases and accidents peculiar to the female sex. Woman's medical College.— Thi.s college located directly opposite Cook County Hospital, is a handsome four story and basement brick struct¬ ure. It is spacious and well lighted, and has ample accommodations for all the work a' present required of it. It has lately been made a Depart¬ ment of the Northwestern Univer¬ sity, thus giving the students access to the extensive physiological and pathological laboratories to be en¬ dowed and erected by the friends of the university, at a cost of not less than $100,000. This will give a chance for study on special lines without being obliged to cross the ocean. The ftculty is very full and complete on all lines, and embraces forty-six phy.sicians, who have, many of them, made honorable names for themselves in their profession. Of these, nineteen are ladies. It is to be presumed, when the college has been in existence a little longer, all its chairs will be supplied from its own graduates; Charles Warrington Earle, A. M, M. D., is now president. Woodlawn is an ideal town, and is noted for its beautiful situation, being almost surrounded by Chi¬ cago's finest parks. It has a perfect drainage sy.stem, and many fine houses. It is on the Illinois Central R. R., eight and one-half miles from City Hall. World's Columbian Exposi¬ tion.—(Taken from Moran's Dic¬ tionary of Chicago, 1893.)—A few years ago the United States, asa representative nation of the New World, began to consider the pro¬ priety of celebrating the four hun¬ dredth anniversary of the discovery of America, by inviting the nations of the Old World to visit her shores. The closing decade of the most re¬ markable century in the Christian era, coinciding with the anniversary of an event unequaled in the history of this sphere, suggests the uniting of all mankind in a celebration of peace. The land where necessity and courage hss fostered industry and wealth presents a fitting scene for such a gathering. Columbia should act the part of hostess at the cele- bratinn of her four hundreth birih- day, by extending the material evi¬ dences of the progress of the human family. And such a commemoi ation should be called the World's Colum¬ bian Exposition. The unanimous and enthusiastic endorsement by the citizens and press of the United States of an undertaking so grand, prompted the United States Govern¬ ment to legalize the holding of the World's Fair in celebrating the four hundreth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus; and on April 25, 1890, President Harrison approved the Act of Congress, which is as follows: " Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Con¬ gress assembled, that an exposition of arts, industries, manufactures, and products of the soil, mine, and sea shall be inaugurated in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-two, in the City of Chicago, in the State of Illinois, as hereafter provided." The Act provides for a national supervisory body, known as the World's Columbian Commission, to WOR—WOR 268 be appointed by the President, composed of two commissioners and two alternates irom each State and Territory and the Dis¬ trict of Columbia, and eight commissioners and eight alternates at large—the commissioners and alternates fri m the States and Terri tories to be appointed upon nomina¬ tion by their respective Governors. Immediately upon passage of the Act, the work of organizing and prepara'ion was commenced, and resulted in the election of officers of the World's Columbian Commission as follows: President, Thomas W. Palmer of Michigan; First Vice- President, Thomas M. Waller of Connecticut; Director-General George K. Davis of Chicaao. The World's Columbian Exposi¬ tion Association of Chicago organ ized as follows: Officers: President, Lyman J. Gage; First Vice-Presi- d'-nt, Thomas B. Bryan: Second Vice-President, Potter Palmer; Secretary, Benjamin Butterworth ; Assistant Secretary, J. H. Kingwell; Treasurer. Anthony F. Seeberger; Auditor, William K. Ackerman. A number of changes have been made among the officials since 1890. Harlow N. Higinbotbam is now President; Ferd. W. Peck and R. A. Waller, First and Second Vice- Presidents; Howard O. Edmonds, Secretary; Antliony F. Seeberger, Treasurer; and William K. Acker- man, Auditor. The Executive Committee is com¬ posed of members of both National and local b lards. Tlie following are the members: Harlow N. Higin¬ botbam, President; Ferd. W. Peck, First Vice-President; R. A. Waller, Second Vice-President; Henry B. Stone, Edwin Walker, Wm. D. Ker- foot, Charles H. Schwab, A. H. Revell, Edward P. Ripley, George R. Davis, Chas. L. Hutchinson, James W. Ellsworth, Robert C. C owry, John J. P. Odell, Thies J. Letens, Lyman J. Gage, and William T. Baker. Wokld's Congbess Atjxiliart, as suggested by a letter of the Secretary of State, is an authorized adjunct of the World's Fair, and aims to supplement the Exposition, which will mark the material pro¬ gress of the world, by a portrayal of the wonderful achievements of the present age in science, literature, education, government, jurispru¬ dence, morals, charity, religion, and other departments of human activity, and as the most effective means of increasing the fraternity, progress, prosperity and peace of mankind. Virtually it wdl be a series of con¬ gresses, at which the greatest thinkers of the world will discuss the various themes indicated. During the Exposition, the Auxil¬ iary will have the use of a mag¬ nificent permanent art palace, which the Chicago Art Institute is er< cting on the lake front. This will have two large audience-rooms, ench of 3,500 capacity, and many smaller rooms. Here, fu'ly one hundred congresses in all will be held. The President's proclamation was issued December 24,1890, and therein he officially announces that the Expo¬ sition shall be opened on the first day of May, 1893, and shall not be closed until the last Thursday in October of the same year. All the nations of the earth are invite d to part cipate. It is also stated in the proclamation that "satisfactory proof has been presented to me that provi.sion has been made for ade¬ quate grounds and buildings for the uses of the World's Columbian Exposition, and that a sum of not less than $10,000,000, to be used and expended for the purpose of said Exposition, has been provided in accordance with the conditions and requirements of the Act." 269 WOR—ZOO Young Men's Christian Asso- spl, employment bureau, general in- ciation.—This Ass6ciation, in Chi- formation, writing conveniences, care cago, has its headquarters at the As- in sickness, twelve members' parlors, sociation building, 153 LaSalle St. parlor games, reading-rooms, current It has branches at 242 W.

Gen'l Passenger and licket Agent ST. POUIS, MO. Smyth s Town Market Js a household word in Chicago and the great scope of country tributary to this city. This Famous Furniture Institution is typical of Chicago in every sense of the word. From the smallest of beginnings it has reached the acme of commercial greatness. It has been completely destroyed by fire, but phoenix tike it has risen from the ashes and now stands a monument to pluck and a credit to Chicago. The above cut faintly outlines in miniature the substantial and ornate blue and buff stone front, with a frontage of 205 feet, depth 180 feet, with 8 stories giving the enormous aggregate of twelve acres of available floor space. It is justly entitled to the honor of being the largest furniture store in the world. The location of this house is on West Madison Street, near the river, running from No. 150 to 166. It requires over 5,000 electric lights to illuminate this elegant palace, which is at all times completely stocked with bargains in everything that the furniture world can supply. A visit to this great house is amply repaid by a view of the novelties exhibited if for nothing else. TO THE "ROCKIKS" YJA THE ROCK ISI.AND E04D. Out of a system of 5,000 miles of the best railroitd on earth, the Great Rock Island Route' uti izes about 1,100 miles of rails, reaching from t'hi- c^go to the " Gr. at Backbone of all Creation," the Rocky Mountains. The road is as straight as an arrow and swifter than its flight the jialatial trains pass fiom the Garden City to the " Garden of the Gods," in Colorado. At any season of the year the traveler will enjoy all the comforts i cident to modern traveling; he will also live, eat, and be merry. During the season of peaceful planting, when the fields are clothed with verdant l obes of green, or in the ripe and gold of the harvest are peihaps seasons that should chosen for the journey, unless one loves tragedy in nature, win-n the winds are howling and snow covers the wide West in a garment white and cold. To the tourist, who desires to reach the Interesting and picturesque part of the Rocky Mountains direct, there is but one road from Chicago, and that by the main artery of life and travel—the famous old Rock Island. It is also the favoriie route to Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Manitou, and all points in Colorado. Among the important cities along the route are Rock Island, Davenport, Council Bluffs, Omaha, Lincoln, and Denver. Any of these places are well worthy a visit, but nature's " World'sFair" is found at the end of the line, Pike's Peak, the summit of American creation. The scenery is Alpinian. In palaces the red rocks are left in shapes which suggest deserted cities, alhambras, obelisks, coliseums, and Egyptian pyramids. Here and there the wild flowers set the mountains on fire with conflagrations of color. No tiaveler has seen America until he has taken a trip to Color-do on the ne plus ultra of roads—the celebrated Rock Island. Of all nature's lovely spots few equal and none surpass in beauty of location, grandeur of surroundings, and sublimity, the scenery of Manitou Springs, the veritable gem of the " Rockies." As a pleasure resort it j>re- sents to the tourist more objects of scenic interest than any resort of .a like c haracter in the old or new world, while its wonderful effervescent and mineral springs (soda and iron) makeit the favoriteresting-plice of invalids. At Manitou the passengers can make close connections witli the Pike's Peak Railroad. This is a cog-wheel railroad to the summit of Pike's Peak. When it reaches its objective point above the clouds, at a height of 14.14'7 feet above sea level, it renders almost insignificant by comparison the famous cog-way up Mount Washington, and the incline railway up the Rhigi in Switzerland. Ad ticket agents in the United States sell tickets good to the summit of Pike's Peak and return. Colorado tourists should note th sand provide themselves accordingly before starting. Pike's Peak has long been an object of admiration to the world, because of its commanding position, and ti.e glamour thrown around it by hi.stoiy and trad tion. I'Tie majesty of greatne«s and the mystery of nunuteiiess are here brought face to face. The thoughtful mind is awed by the t ou¬ ïe.nidation of this scene, and ■when the r< fle-tinn comes tl at these g eat spices are but grains of sand on an infinite shore of crea'ion and that there nr." worlds of beauty as vast and varied between the tiny flowers and the iiliimate researches of the microscope as those which cxi-t on an ascending sede between the flowers and the great globe itself, the mind is over- w.ii.|med with wonder and admiration. It i^ an entrancing tour, an exquisite pleasure that the Rock Island Road oi' IS its patrons who journey with the sun.
