GREATER NEW YORK, the commercial, financial, and social metropolis of America, and the second largest city of the entire world, contains a population of not less than 3,300,000 souls, within an area of 360 square miles. In shape the site of this seething hive of human industry re- sembles a %'ast triangle, the Atlantic Ocean base, some iS miles long, extending from beyond Far Rockaway on Long Island to W ard's Point, the extreme southern limit of Staten Island. The apex of this triangle, reaching as far as Mount St. Vincent on the lordly Hudson River, is some 35 miles distant from the base. In these 360 square miles live as many people as were in all the old Thirteen Colonies at the dawn of Independence. One part, with over 1.000 persons residing on each acre, is the most densely populated part of the earth. If the whole of Greater New York were thus densely peopled it would contain thrice the present population of the entire United States. Rapid indeed has been the growth of Greater New York. It has taken old London nearly 2.000 years to attain an area of 688 square miles and a population of 6,200. oco. Manhattan Island was practically devoid of white men before 1626. and was then sold for $24. To-day the value of its land and buildings exceeds the sum of $4,500,000,000. Well indeed. may Greater New York be an object of won- der to the average visitor, and welcome will be the aid ex- tended by its greatest store, situated, as it is. in the heart and center of this triangle, in the form of the present popu- lar, compact, and comprehensive guide to this great city and its myriad sights and scenes. THE MUNICIPALITY. Greater New York includes all of Xew York, Kings, and Richmond Counties, and parts of 5 Queens and Westchester. It embraces some forty-odd small towns and villages, threaded together by ferry and rai!- road. Brooklyn and its many suburbs, and Staten Island, separated by a wide stretch of navigable water, are now a part of the city itself. Of the history of the political struggle that resulted in the passage of the bill at Albany it is sufficient to say that the bill for the consolidation of the Greater New York was passed in 1896, and the charter in 1897. The charter went into effecc on the first of January, 1898. CITY GOVERNMENT. Wry briefly, the city govern- ment of Greater New York consists of a mayor (salary, $15,- 000; term of office, 4 years; official headquarters, the City Hall), and a Municipal Assembly, in which there is an upper and a lower house. The upper house is the Council, i 1 which there are twenty-nine members, chosen by the electors of the city. The President of the Council is elected by the city at large, to hold office for four years, with a salary of $5,000. The other twenty-eight members are elected for four years, with a Salary of $1,500 a year. Each is chosen within a council district, in which he is a resident. The whole city is divided into ten council districts, of which there is one in the Borough of the Bronx, four in Manhattan, three in Brooklyn, one in Queens, and one in Richmond. Three councilors are chosen in each of the council districts of the Rronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn, and two in Queens and in Richmond. The lower house is called the Board of Aldermen. It con- sists of 60 members, one of whom is elected in each of the Assembly Districts. Their term of office is two years, the salary, $1,000. These, with borough boards, boards of local improvement in each of the 22 Senate Districts, and the officials of 18 city departments, constitute the executive of the government of Greater New York. The city has a municipal debt of $185,000,000, an average burden of $56 per capita. The municipal expenditures require 6 $70,ooo,ooo a year. The municipal employees form an army of 30,000, larger than the regular army of the United States. Of these, 7,000 wear the policeman's blue, and 4,000 form the street cleaners' brigade. The i,200 miles of paved streets would extend to Minneapo- lis, and the unpaved streets would continue the road to Boise City, Idaho. The city has 1,400 miles of water mains and half as many miles of sewers. New York has 7,000 acres of parks, worth $250,000,000. The water supply is 325,000,000 gallons a day, or about 100 gallons for every inhabitant. The water used in a year would make a canal wide and deep enough to float the largest war vessel, and would extend from New York to San Francisco. Greater New York is, as a writer in McClures Magazine ingeniously put it, " the most cosmopolitan city in the world. W ithin her borders are representatives of almost every nation and city upon the earth. Her foreign-born number 1,250,000, and their children swell the numbers to 2,500,000, or two- thirds the city's entire population. At the head of the list stand the Germans, who number nearly 900,000. Next come the Irish, mustering 850,000. There are 170,000 English, 105,- 000 Russians, 100,000 Italians, and 50,000 Scotch. America's metropolis is the largest Irish city in the world. Dublin, the chief city of Emerald's Isle, has less than half as many. Next to Berlin, she is also the world's largest German city. She has nearly as many Germans as Hamburg and Munich combined. She has more English than Portsmouth, more Canadians than Canadian London, more Russians than Yilna, more French than Aix. She has nearly as many Scotch as Leith, Italians as Yenice, Austro-Hungarians as Presburg, and Scandinavians as Bergen." THE GATES OF THE CITY. New York's location is an ideal one for commercial greatness. The gateway of the lordly Hudson, the port whence and wherein pass two-fifths of all the exports and two-thirds of all the imports of the nation, the city's 75 miles of wharves would stretch in a 7 straight line from the Battery to New Haven in Connecticut. The entire waterfront would almost encircle Long Island The surrounding waters are thronged with steamers and fer- ryboats, and in and around the city center and circle the railroads, upon which so much of its prosperity depends RAILROAD DBPOTB, and ferries to san- These are as follows: Baltimore & Ohio, via Central EL R. of New Jersey (to Phila- delphia), foot of Liberty street.

By whatever route the visitor readies the metropolis he will encounter a bustling, eager crowd. Hackmen, express agents and public porters surround each depot and vociferously solicit custom. Having selected the hotel at which he proposes to stay (see list here- inafter printed), the visitor may well bear in mind a few max- ims conducive to his safety and well being. As to cabs, bag- gage express, and porters deal only " itli uniformed reputable men. If in doubt consult a policeman. Assuming a cab is required, the charges are regulated by municipal ordi- nance as follows: Cmhm By «!>«' mile. Fifty cents for the first mile, and 2$ cents for each additional half-mile. For stops over five minutes, and not exceeding fifteen. 25 cents; for longer Stops, 25 cents for each fifteen minutes. By the Hour: With the privilege of going and stopping to suit yourself, $1 for the first hour, or part thereof, and 50 cents for each additional half-hour. This tariff includes hansom cabs. < onche* By the mile, "ne dollar for the first mile, or part thereof; and each additional half-mile or part thereof. 40 cents. By distance for M stops." 38 cents for each fifteen minutes. For brief stops, not over five minutes, no charge. By the Hour: $..50 first hour or part thereof, and each succeeding half-hour or part thereof. 75 cents. From 'Mine balls." one or two passengers, to any point south of Fifty- ninth street. $2; each additional passenger, 50 cents; north of Fifty-ninth street, each additional mile, 50 cents. The legal fares are understood to be for one or two persons in a cab. or for one, two, three, or four persons in a carriage; while children under 8 years are to be carried free when accompanied by adults. It also includes the carrying of one piece of baggage; for all pieces over one a special bargain must be made. The fare everywhere on the trains of the elevated railroads and on all the surface cars is five cents, without regard to dis- tance, and many surface cars give transfers. A good plan is to ask the conductor, for instance, " How near do you run to Siegel-Cooper Co.'s Big Store? " In reply he will tell a visi- tor where to transfer or where to alight. BA(;(iAGE EXPRESS. All trains and steamers are boarded by reliable and uniformed baggage agents who will check baggage to any hotel or address at moderate rates. In like manner inquiry of an hotel clerk will insure a reliable company expressing baggage on the visitor's departure from the city. HOTELS. New York's hotels are numerous and widely scattered. They range in price from the palatial Astoria. Plaza, or Savoy, on Fifth Avenue, to the quiet simplicity of University Place or the side streets of Brooklyn. Trices vary from $5 per day to 50 cents per night. ( )ne word to the wise. If in search of inexpensive accommodation ask r po- lice officer as to the character of the house and avoid all " Raines Law " Hotels, which, as a general rule, are over ordinary saloons. Hotels are conducted on the American plan— i.e., a room and three meals a day— or on the European plan, where the room alone is hired and the meals are charged extra, or according to what is ordered.

The advertisements in the daily papers or a card on the doorpost indicate the location of rooms, and an inquiry of a policeman will assure any an- xious person as to the respectability or otherwise of a house or its location. BOARDING HOUSES. These, like furnished rooms, are to\be found in every section of the city, and the daily papers furnish the best index to their location. Prices range from $5 to $30 per week, according to accommodations offered, and include baths and two or three meals a day. BATHS are to be found in hotels, in many barber shops, and in the summer at the battery and along the river fronts. But then the coast is near at hand, and the delights of cos- mopolitan Coney Island are easy of access. Turkish and Russian baths are numerous and well appointed. RESTAURANTS. It is questionable if any city in the world can boast of better restaurants than those of Greater New York. At least 3,000 in number, they vary in style from the luxury and exclusiveness of Delmonico's, to the rapid transit economy of a Park Row lunch counter. It has been estimated that one-half the population live entirely at restau- rants, and certainly there are plenty for visitors to choose from. All the leading hotels make a feature of catering to visitors other than those staying at the hotel. The dining- rooms of the Astorra, Waldorf, Holland House, and Imperial are some of the principal sights of the city, decked with rare flowers and costly silverware, and populous with the rich of this and other cities. The principal stores are also noted for the excellence of their restaurants, and chief of these stands the Big Store of Siegel-Cooper Co., with an excellent res- taurant, located in the basement. This has proved a most popular feature with the thousands of shopper r visiting the store. The best of everything is to be had at the most 25 moderate price, and many a tired visitor rests and recu- perates in its comfort and quietude while refreshing the inner man or woman. As to the general restaurants of the cit; they may he classified in three divisions. In the finan- cial center of the city, from the Battery to Chambers street, among the principal restaurants are The Downtown Del monico's, South William and Heaver streets; The Cab' Sa varin, 120 Broadway; The Hodman Caff*, 7 Beaver street: Dorlon's, Fulton Market (fish a specialty); Mouquin's, \\, Fulton street; the Astor House-, Dennett's, and others. 9 In the wholesale district, from Chamhers to Fourteenth strut, are to be found the Hroadway Central Hotel Cafe. Broadway and Blcecktr street; Au Chat Noir. South Fifth avenue, near Fourth street; the Vienna Cafe, 788 Broadwa; . the St. Denis Hotel. Broadway and Eleventh street; the Morton House. Broadway and Fourteenth street, and Pep- per's, East Fourteenth street. In the retail shopping district, from Fourteenth to Twenty- third streets, the restaurants are naturally plentiful to a <1 gree. Prominent among them may he mentioned the restau- rants of the Big St. .re Siegel-Cooper Co., Sixth avenue and Eighteenth street; I'ursell's, 912 Broadway, and O'Neill's, 35K Sixth avenue. In the district hounded by Twenty-third and Forty-second streets, occur the fashionable and more expensive restaurants. Here one finds the Hoffman House, Maillard's, the Impe- rial, the Holland House-, the Waldorf and Astoria Hotels. Del monico's. Fifth avenue and Twenty-sixth street; Dorlon's. 6 East Twenty-third street; the Murray Hill Hotel, Fourth avenue and Forty-first street; Grand Union and Devonshire Hotels, and several "dairies." opposite the Grand Central Depot; Shanley's, 1476-1478 Broadway (chop house); Nor mandie, Yendome, Metropole, Stuart's, St. Cloud, and Bar- rett Hotels, at or near Broadway and Forty-second street: the Manhattan (hotel), Madison avenue and Forty-second 20 street ; Pursell's, 25 West Forty-second street, and Martin's, 1437 Broadway (oysters). ' Restaurants are open in the Plaza, New Netherlands, Savoy, and San Rcmo hotels, in the Central Park district, while the Casino, in Central Park, and Claremont, near General Grant's Tomb, are favorite resorts of an evening or Sunday, especially with those driving. HOW TO GET ABOUT THE CITY. In shape, Man hattan Island may roughly be compared to a lozenge. North and south along its area run four lines of elevated railroad and many surface cars. Its crosstown streets are also grid- ironed with car tracks, so that to an intelligent visitor or to one who will inquire of policemen, access to any part of the city is easy and fairly rapid. Dealing first with THE ELEVATED RAILROAD, the four lines of which all converge at the Battery, the following particulars will be of service: The fare is five cents each passenger, except children under five years of age, who are permitted to ride free.

All the ocean cable companies and land telegraph lines have offices and branches in New York. Inquiry of an hotel clerk or a policeman is the surest and simplest method of ascertaining the location of the nearest office. Many hotels are provided with a branch office in the building or will call a messenger to dispatch a telegram. The buildings of the Western Union Telegraph Company, at 53 Broadway and Dey St., and that of the Bostal Telegraph and Commercial Cable Company, at Broadway and Murray st., are noted among New York's office buildings for the beauty of their architecture. TELEPHONE! are numerous in Greater New York, and the location of a public " pay " station (Toll, 10 cents for eacfc message), is indicated by a blue sign. Long-distance wires reach all surrounding towns and extend as far west as Chi- cago. All the hotels have telephones, and, needless to say, public pay stations are to be found in the Big Store of Sie- gel Cooper Co. MESSENGER SERVICE. Uniformed messenger boys, many, in the uptown district, riding bicycles, are to be ob- tained at the various offices of the American District Tele- graph Company for carrying letters, messages, or small par- cels, or executing any commissions. Call boxes are located in all hotels and in many restaurants, drug stores, and other places. The tariff is by distance, or at the rate of 40 cents per hour, plus all necessary car fares. 54 CHAPTER II. THEATERS AND PLACES OF AMUSE- MENT. Greater New York is, without doubt, the amusement center of the entire United States. Hither come all the famous act- ors and singers of Europe. Here are first produced all the noted plays, transatlantic as well as American. Sooner or later, each famous actor or beauteous actress seeks the final and critical verdict of a New York audience. Small wonder is it then that the theaters of the second city of the world are not only very numerous but are more magnificently appointed than those of older and larger London or smaller but older Paris. Americans are essentially of an amusement-loving race. Not only are the seats filled with the fair sex but the kings of commerce or finance seek in the playhouse their re- laxation from the drudgery of growing richer. Varied indeed are the entertainments of Greater New York. From Italian and German opera, in all the stateliness of the Metropolitan Opera House, the scale runs to an East Side music hall or the Bohemian freedom of the annual French Ball. The following list includes the principal theaters with their locations, prices of admission, and time of performances. It is advisable to purchase tickets a day or two beforehand and either at the box office of the theater or at a hotel newsstand. Avoid dealing with sidewalk speculators, as their tickets are often refused at the doors. OPERA HOUSES AND THEATERS. Prices of Perform- •v„„^ t Admission ances Name. Locat.on. (Subject Begin.

Visitors should see the Governor's Room with its portrait gallery and historical rel- ics, and notice the statue by McMonnies to the martyr Cap- tain Nathan Hale which stands near Broadway. The city government has been briefly described in Chapter I. It remains to add that the Hall of Records and Civil Courts are in close proximity to the City Hall. Criminal trials take place in the Criminal Court Building in Centre st., where the Health Department and Civil Service Commission are also located. Police Headquarters are at 300 Mulberry st., and the Commissioners of Charity and Correction at Third ave. and nth st. The Tombs or City Prison stands on Centre St.; the Penitentiary on Blackwell's Island. FOREIGN COLONIES. " The proper study of mankind being man." according to the poet Pope, visitors may desire to see the curious sections of the city almost exclusively peopled with those of alien birth or tongue. These are lo- cated as follows: Little Germany , east of 2d ave. from Houston st. north to 14th st. Little Italy, around the Five points at the lower end of the Bowery. Chit.a, Mott, Pell, and Doyer sts., near the Bowery. Judea, east end of Canal st., near Ludlow and East Broadway. Africa, Thompson st. north of Canal st. is where the colored brother shines in full glory. 77 CHAPTER IV. FIFTH AVENUE AND THE SHOPPING DISTRICT. FIFTH AVEM K, the Belgravia of America, the center of its fashion and splendor, and the home of its merchant princes, is in close proximity to the retail shopping district, and may well be considered with it. Starting from the Wash- ington Arch, completed in 1893, at a cost of $250,000, and the pretty square of nine acres around it, the visitor can proceed northward on the top of a stage-coach, noticing the gray Tudor halls of the University of the City of New York, the Brevoort House, the Church of the Ascension, and the First Presbyterian Church. Many old and well known families live south of 14th st., including Gen. I). K. Sickles (23 East oth St.). At 14th st. we find the retail stores commencing, and here- abouts book publishers are plentiful. Judge Building at 16th st., Chickering Hall and the Union Club are noticeable. Then the stage crosses 23d st. and passes by the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel, Madison Square, the Hoffman House, the Worth and Farragut monuments, and Delmonico's. The Calumet Club (20th st.), Collegiate Church, and palatial Holland House face the avenue, the broad surface of which has been greatly improved by the recent application of asphalt. We notice at 3 4th st. the magnificent Waldorf-Astona hotel and the Manhattan Club. This is a district full of fine stores, patronized by fashionable folks, and the skirts of club-land. The rise in the road is known as Murray Hill. At 37th st is the Brick Church and at 39th the handsome edifice of the Union League Club. On the site of the old Reservoir and Bryant Park behind it, a splendid public library is to stand. • « Forty-second street crosses the avenue, with the Grand 78 Central Depot, Manhattan, Grand Union, and Murray Hill hotels near by. Russell Sage lives at 506, and at 43d st. is the Synagogue Emanu-el, the leading Hebrew congregation. At 45th st. is the Church of the Divine Paternity, and near to it the Church of the Heavenly Rest. Then we come to the Belgravia and Buckingham hotels, and the magnificent Cath- olic cathedral. Next, on the left, are the Vanderbilt houses, " Millionaires' Four Corners," as the district is called. St. Thomas's Church, and the houses of the Standard Oil magnates Flag- ler and Rockefeller (Nos. 685 and 693), are here, and just before reaching the Plaza is the palace of Cornelius Van- derbilt. This is the entrance to Central Park (see Chapter V), and here are the Savoy, Plaza, and New Netherland hotels. The Metropolitan, or Millionaires', Club faces the Park, and fur- ther northward are the Lenox Library, Progress Club, and many handsome residences. At 81st st. the best part of the avenue ends, and here is the nearest point to reach the Metropolitan Museum of Art (see Chapter V). CLUBS OF NEW YORK.

BHOPPIHG DISTRICT. Let us now retrace our steps to 23d st. and thence investigate the retail shopping district. Westward it reaches to 6th ave., and northward to 42d st. It contains most of the theaters and places of amusement (see Chapter II), and affords a would-be purchaser the choice of rich wares, whether they be from silken Samarcand or sultry South Africa. Here are the jewelers, florists, art furniture dealers, art dealers, retail bookstores, candy stores, and all such similar stores. SIXTH AVEXIE, however, from its very accessibility is the heart of the shopping district. Here the fair or the sterner sex, descending from the Sixth Avenue Elevated Railroad, or alighting from a horse-car, finds that vast em- porium of commerce, The Big Store of Siegel-Cooper Co. There are obvious advantages to the out-of-town visitor in dealing with such a complete and up-to-date department store as the Big Store. In the first place, all his wants are within four walls; he is troubled with no parcels, if his purchases are extensive, by a system of transfers, he can proceed from one floor to another, from one department to the next, purchasing as he goes, paying the total amount of all his pur- chases in one payment, and having the entire result deliv- ered to his house. Then, does he or she desire to rest and refresh the inner man, the restaurant is within the building. Is the visitor indisposed— a doctor is at hand. Do his teeth require attention— an expert dentist is ready with his ser- vices. A banking department will conduct his financial af- fairs; and last, but most important of all, as he deals for spot 88 cash with the greatest of spot-cash buyers and sellers, his pocketbook will be heavier when he concludes than if he had dealt for credit or elsewhere. CHAPTER V THE PARKS, BOULEVARDS, AND DRIVES. PARKS. Many, extensive, and very beautiful are the parks of Greater New York. Nearly fifty in number, they vary in size from the little " breathing spaces," like Bowling Green or Jeannette Park, to the 862 acres of Central Park, or the almost equal area of Prospect Park in the Borough of Brooklyn. A list of the principal parks, with their lo- cations, is as follows: Battery, foot of Broadway ; Bowling Green, foot of Broadway j Bronx, on Bronx River, north of Kingsbridge road and east of Southern Boulevard ; Bryant, between 5th and 6th aves. and W. 40th and \V. 4 2d sts. ; Cedar, bounded by Sedgwick ave., Juliet St., Walton and Matt aves. ; City Hail Park, Broadway.

The new parks laid out in the Twenty-third and Twenty- fourth wards contain 1,831.40 acres. The total area of parks and parkways recently acquired north of the Harlem River is 3,843.39 acres. The cost was $9,969,603.04. ( i:\TRAL PARK, the principal and most beautiful park of Greater New York, requires, with Prospect Park, a more extended description. It extends from 59th st. to ncth st., being over 2V0 miles long, and from 5th ave. to 8th ave., being over half a mile wide. It covers 862 acres, of which 185 are in lakes and 9 miles of road, 5*4 of bridle paths, and 28 1 / 4 of walks. The landscape architects of the park were Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Yaux. Public park carriages can be found (except in winter) at the entrances of 5th ave. and 8th ave. The fare for an extended ride through the park is 2$ cents. Work was begun on the park in 1857. The fol- lowing fanciful names have been officially applied to the several entrances to the park; 5th ave. and 59th St., Scholars' ■Gate; 6th ave. and 59th st., Artists' Gate; 7th ave. and 59th st.. Artisans' Gate; 8th ave. and 59th St., Merchants' Gate; 8th ave. and 726 St., Women's Gate; 8th ave. and 81 st st.. Hunters' Gate; 8th ave. and 85th st., Mariners' Gate; 8th ave. and 96th St., Gate of All Saints; 8th ave. and 100th St., Boys' Gate; 8th ave. and 110th st., Strangers' Gate; 5th ave. and 67th st., Students' Gate; 5th ave. and 72d St., Children's Gate; 5th ave. and 79th st., Miners' Gate; 5th ave. and 90th st., Engineers' Gate; 5th ave. and 96th St., Woodmen's Gate; 5th ave. and i02d st., Girls' Gate; 5th ave. and 110th st., Pio- neers' Gate; 6th ave. and noth st., Farmers' Gate; 7th ave. and 110th St., Warriors' Gate. The sights of the nark are numerous, and include the Mall, with its statues; the lakes, dotted with boats in summer 91 and with skaters in winter; the Menagerie, the American Museum of Natural History, the Drive, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (admission free, hand-books 10 cents;. Ml SKIM OF ART. This is opposite the 8ist st. en- trance to the park, and can be reached by the 5th ave. stages (see Chapter IV.), the Madison ave. electric car line, or by the park carriages. The collections are varied and extremely valuable. On the first floor are located the Halls of Casts of Ancient Sculpture, Egyptian Antiquities, Ancient Statu- ary, Architectural Casts, Sculptural Casts, Carved Wood, and Glass and Ancient Pottery. On the second floor the visitor finds the Paintings. The old masters are well represented by numerous examples, while among the masterpieces of modern painters the visitor will notice Kaulbach's " Crusaders before Jerusalem," Bidas' " Massacre of the Mamelukes," Breton's " Religious Pro- cession in Brittany," Piloty's " Thusnelda at the Triumph of Germanicus," Rosa Bonheur's famed " Horse Fair " (cost $53.5°o). Detaille's "Defense of Champigny"; Meissonier's " Friedland 1807," and many other famous pictures. Oriental art is well represented, and the entire museum is worthy of careful inspection. Outside the museum, and to the eastward, stands the Obelisk, familiarly known as Cleopatra's Needle. This obe- lisk is 69 feet high and weighs 220 tons. The inscriptions, dedicating it to Egyptian gods, prove its date to be about thirteen years B.C. PROSPECT PARK, in the Borough of Brooklyn, is almost equal in size to Central Park. It is reached by the following trolley lines: From Fulton Ferry or the Bridge entrance, Flatbush ave. line (the most direct); Adams and Boerum pi. line, and Franklin ave. line; from Hamilton (south) Ferry, the Hamilton ave. and Prospect Park line; and from Broadway (Williamsburg) Ferry, the Nostrand ave. line. The distance is about 2*4 miles, more or less, from any of the ferries, but the route from Fulton Ferry or the 92 Bridge is the most interesting. None of the elevated rail- roads go very near the park. Noteworthy sights in Prospect Park are, the Memorial Arch, statues of Lincoln, Stranahan, Major General W arren, John Howard Payne, and the tablet marking the site of part of the Revolutionary Battle of Long Island. The Coney Island bicycle path leads from the park to the ocean at Coney Island. It is well worth a visit, and is nearly eleven miles long. RIVERSIDE PARK and GRANT'S TOMB is reached by the Boulevard horse cars. Here stands a magnificent memorial of the greatest general of the Civil War: " Old Unconditional Surrender." Here, in a mausoleum, modeled after the resting-place of Napoleon, rests the body of the Nation's hero. It was dedicated April 27, 1897, in place of a small temporary tomb which stood near by, where Li Hung Chang planted a memorial tree. VAN CORTLAXDT PARK, 1,069 acres, is reached by the N. Y. and Putnam R. R., and is well worth a visit. It is I one of the wildest and most natural parks, has public golf links and a parade ground for the National Guard. BOULEVARDS AND DRIVES. They are numerous, and very tastefully laid out. The principal are as follows: The Boulevard (5vth St. and 8th ave. to 167th st ), a great thoroughfare for bicyclists, on the road to Grant's Tomb, and with a line of horsecars along it : Central Avenue (from McComb's Dam Bridge to Jerome Park and Vonkers). a fash- ionable drive, generally thronged with rine equipages ; St. Nicholas Avenue (northwest from Central Park to Vonkers); The Speedway (for fast horses, now under construction from 155th st. to Fort George, along the east bank of the Harlem River). In addition to these, tine drives are to be found on the Kingsbridge road, Southern Boulevard, Lexington ave., and West End ave., in the boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx, and on the famed Meirick road on Long Island. 93 CHAPTER VI. THREE DAYS' SIGHTSEEING. NBCBSSIT1 OF SYSTEM. To the country visitor, with three days at his disposal for sightseeing, the necessity of a well-considered system or plan will be self evident. Fur the benefit of such a one, the following route is suggested: FIRST DAY. Start out early from the hotel, and take the iiroadway cable car or Elevated Railroad to South Ferry. Visit Battery Park and the Aquarium, and, above all, take a trip to the Statue of Liberty on Bedloe's Island. Then return to the Battery and visit the financial center of Greater New York. Walk up Broadway, inspect old Trinity Church and its monuments, turn down Wall st., visiting the Sub-Treasury, Stock Exchange (on Broad St.), and the Custom House. Notice the lofty office buildings, and go northward along Nassau Bt to the lofty Pulitzer Building. Ascend to the cupola, and the bird's-eye view of the city will be well worth the journey. Descending, walk to the center of the Brooklyn Bridge, or, if time serves, cross to Brooklyn and inspect the Brooklyn City Hall and Henry Ward Beecher's old church. Return- ing to New York, a visit may be paid to the City Hall of Greater New York, and the statue of Nathan Hale in the park. The Postoffice is close at hand, and the Criminal Court and the Tombs are near by in Centre st. More ample de- tai.s of other sights are to be found in Chapters I. and III. Return by car to the hotel, and visit a theater or place of amusement (for list see daily papers and Chapter II.). SECOND DAY. Again starting in good time the visitor should take the Boulevard horsecars to Grant's Tomb (see Chapter Y.) and return to the Central Park to explore its manv beauties and to inspect the treasures of the Metro- politan Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History, the Menagerie, and the Obelisk. A drive round the park 94 is well worth the 25 cents. Returning, a visit may be paid to the Lenox Library (70th st. and 5th ave.). Then take a stage coach, and traverse 5th ave. to Washing- ton Arch (see Chapter IV.). Visits can be paid to Madison sq. and Union sq. to see the Madison Square Garden and the statuary. If it is summer weather, the balance of the day can well be spent sailing down the Bay on a Coney Island steamer, up the Hudson (on any of the numerous excursions), or along the Sound to Glen Island. Coney Island, with its Bohemian freedom, cosmopolitan assemblage, and excellent sea-bathing, has the advantage of being near at hand. But the various excursions and nearby resorts will be found fully described in Chapter VIII. The advertisements in the daily newspapers give the best information of regular and special excursions, and also contain particulars as to time and place of starting, price, etc. THIRD DAY. The business and shopping centers of the city will necessarily be included in the sights of New York. Let us start on Broadway at 426 St., and walk south- ward. Here are the Metropolitan Opera House, the Casino, the handsome building of the New York " Herald," (notice the presses and machinery through the glass side-windows), Herald Square Theater, Koster and Bial's Music Hall (on 34th st. west of Broadway), and Greeley sq., with the statue of the great editor of the " Tribune." The stores, with an occasional theater or hotel, now oc- cupy the attention. Every conceivable kind of goods is displayed. Let us pass southward, past Delmonico's, the Hoffman House, and the palatial white front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Then 23d st. westward, or to the right hand, brings us to the shopping center. Sixth ave. is reached, and southward, occupying the entire block from 2cth to 19th sts., rises that monument of Greater New York's greatest commercial en- terprise—The Big Store of Siegel-Cooper Company. 95 To visit Greater New York without inspecting this, its greatest store, would be like playing Hamlet with Hamlet left out of the cast. The doors stand open, let us pass in, for the store is a memorable sight, whether we purchase or not. Around its beauteous center fountain are seats for the weary, and light refreshments are to be had at most moderate prices. The visitor sits down to watch the hurrying crowds, and to wonder at the vast proportions of the building. Over one and a half million dollars' worth of merchandise are around him, and of every conceivable kind that man's neces- sity requires or man's luxury fancies. In Chapter IX. will be found a partial enumeration of the Big Store's many wonders, and in Chapter X. a directory or finding list of the myriad articles on sale. If the appetite asserts itself, a restaurant of model excellence and moderate price is to be found in the basement, and an hour may well be passed discussing a dainty bill of fare. After exploring the five vast floors of the store (see dia- grams or ground plans to be found among these pages) the visitor can proceed northward toward the whole- sale districts on a 6th ave. car or the Elevated Railroad. (For list of these districts see ante.) A trip on the Ele- vated Railroad from South Ferry to the terminus of the 9 th ave. road at i 5S th st. will be well worth the S cents fare. The track at times is level with the fifth story of the houses and passes over the plain whereon the revolutionary Battle of Harlem Heights was fought. A visit to another theater or to the Madison Square Gar- den will well conclude a long day's sightseeing. In summer the roof-gardens offer an attractive method of passing an evening, and the open air enables the lover of the fragrant weed to smoke as he enjoys a vaudeville performance- 96 CHAPTER VII. WHAT TO SEE IN A WEEK'S VISIT. A W EEK I> GREATER \EW YORK will give the average visitor a very fair knowledge of the metropolis of America's sights and scenes. Xot only can he inspect the places of interest mentioned in the preceding chapter, but, devoting more time to them, he can also see many other notable sights in Gotham. In addition to this, more theaters and places of amusement can be visited. FIRST DAY. Assuming, therefore, that the visitor com- mences on a Monday, he may well follow out the itinerary laid out for the first day in the preceding chapter, visiting the downtown part of Manhattan Island, spending more time in Brooklyn, which, with its 800,000 inhabitants, is now a part of the metropolis. There are popular divisions of the city called the Heights, South Brooklyn, the Hill, and the East- ern District, or Williamsburg. Among the features for the sightseer are the following: The Heights, Prospect Park, Greenwood Cemetery, the Navy Yard, Plymouth Church, a tour of the Elevated Railroads, and the Brooklyn Institute's new Museum at Prospect Park. The principal thoroughfare is Fulton st., with an eastward course. Half a mile from the bridge is the Court House, where the " Beecher trial " took place; the Hall of Records, next to it; the Municipal Building, and the City Hall. These buildings are of imposing appearance, and in front of them is Ward's bronze statue of Henry Ward Beecher. Nearby are many large business structures, office buildings, banks, theaters, newspapers, etc. ; and the principal shops line Fulton st. for half a dozen blocks above, while Washing- ton st., two blocks south, near the extended bridge terminus, has the new Federal Building, containing the Postoffice, U. S. Courts, etc., the Eagle Building, and the Clarendon Hotel. 97 BROOK LYH THEATERS. Brooklyn are: Amphion, Bedford ave., opposite S. gt" ! Academy of Music. Montague ^t.. m .ar City Hall; Columbia, Washington and Tillary sts.; Grand Opera House, Elm pL, near Fulton st. ; Star, Jay st., near Fulton ; Montauk, 587 Fulton st.; Park, Fulton st., opposite City Hall; Bijou, Smith and Livingston sts.; Criterion, Fulton st., near Grand ave.; Hyde and Behman's Adams st., near Myrtle ave.; Lee Avenue Academy, Lee, near Division ave.; Novelty, Driggs ave., near S. 4 th St., E.D.; Gayety, Broadway and Throop ave., E.D. ; Empire, Broadway and S. 6th st., E.U. BROOKLYN HOTELS. The principal hotels of Brook- lyn are as follows: The Mans/an House, the Pierrepont House \ and the Hotel St. George, all situate upon heights. Till-: HEIGHTS can be found by walking down Monta- gue st. toward the river. Here are the residences of many of Brooklyn's oldest families, the Academy of Music, the Art Association, the Brooklyn Library, the Long Island Historical Society, and several theaters. Plymouth Church is on Orange st., between Hicks and Henry. It is within easy walking distance of either Fulton Ferry or the bridge. The great brick barn was built in 1847, and its pulpit was occupied forty years by Mr. Beecher, until his death in 1887. Another noted Congregational church on the Heights is the Church of the Pilgrims, at the corner of Henry and Remsen sts. Next to the Historical Society's building is Holy Trinity, the leading Episcopal church of Brooklyn, while St. Ann's is only a block or two distant. PROSPECT PARK. See Chapter V., ante. ORBENOTOOD CEMETERY. Thii beautiful city of the dead is 2% miles from the bridge, and is reached by the 5 th ave. line of the Brooklyn Elevated Railway, which has a station at the principal entrance. Carriages make the tour of the cemetery (charge 25 cents). The cemetery was opened in 1842, and about 250,000 burials have been made. Among the notable monuments are: The monument to Horace Greeley, on Locust Hill, near Oak ave., erected by the printers of the country, the block covering the remains of Prof. S. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the electric tele- graph; the Soldier's Monument; the Theater Fire Monument, underneath which rest the unrecognized bodies of those who perished in the burning of the Brooklyn Theater, in December, 1876, when over three hundred people lost their lives; the Firemen's Monument; the monument to John Matthews is in the form of a canopy and spire above a sarcophagus, upon the top of which lies a full-length marble figure of the dead man. On the tablet is a veiled female figure typifying grief. The artist was Carl Muller, and the cost $3o,occ. The Pilot's Monument, and the " Sea Cap- tain's Statue " (to Capt. John Correja), holding the sextant he used. THE WAVY YARD. Visitors are sure to be desirous of inspecting the U. S. Navy Yard in Brooklyn. It is on the Wallabout, a basin from the East River, where in revolu- tionary times was moored the " Jersey " prison hulk. It is within walking distance of Fulton or Catharine ferries, or the bridge, but cars run thither at frequent intervals. This is the principal naval station in the country, with forty-five acres in the yard proper, while 100 more acres belong to the establishment. The United States Xaval Lyceum is here, with a fine library, and a large collection of curiosities. Xear the water are the sheds under which the building cf ships goes on, and the shops where the iron work is pre- pared. The monitors and ships of war in the basin or at the wharves can be inspected by permission of the officers. Other notable sights are the steam cranes, docks, Marine Hospital, and grounds. OFFICE PlILDIYGS. The following particulars of some of the more prominent office buildings in the down- town section will be found useful by visitors. 99 EQ1 [TABLE m 1 1 . 1 > I N < ■ . on Broadway, between Cedar and Pine sts., finished in 1887, is a pile of Quincy granite, with four imposing facades, abounding in pillars and carv- ings.

STEWART HI ILDING, at Broadway and Chambers st., of white marble, occupies the site of the ancient negro burying-ground, and afterward of Washington Hall. It was erected for A. T. Stewart. SECOND DAY. The visitor is advised to follow the route laid out in Chapter VI., ante. In addition to this a visit should be paid to Columbia College (near to Riverside and Grant's Tomb), to Washington Bridge and Highbridge, and, if the weather is fine, to Van Cortlandt or Bronx Parks. A visit may also, and with advantage, be paid to some of the handsome armories of the National Guard. The principal regiments are located as follows: THE SEVENTH REGIMENT ARMORY covers the entire block bounded by 66th and 67th sts., and 4th and Lexington aves. The main drill-room is 200 by 300 feet. The company and veterans' rooms are very elegantly fur- nished; and there are library, reception, and memorial rooms of much beauty. The building is open to visitors. Two com- panies drill each evening. It was built in 1879, at a cost of $300,000. 101 the EIGHTH itiM.lMi.M LRMOB1 and 94th st. , ms mm II M»IlfSll« MMIOIM r4th Tin: TWELFTH REGIMENT kRMORl n 9th ave.. from to 6,d sts.. ponderous, castellated. w,th heivilv grated windows, loopholed towers, and a high castle- keep.

The route laid down in Chapter VI.. am may well be followed. A visit should also be paid to the EDEN mm, on W. ^ st., near $tta ave., an attrac- dfc new building, containing wax portrait-figures of many famous men and women, in life-size, historical groups, a Ubt"™ Chamber of Horrors, and other interesting curiosities. Almost all visiters to New York include this remarkably instructive and entertaining sight in their rounds^ The ent nCe tee is fifty cents; and the collection is one of Z : best Z largest of the kind in the world rivaling the famous London wax-works of Madame Tussaud. ASTOR LIBRARY. A visit should also be paid to the ^or L^brarv on Lafayette pi., a handsome brownstone R^anesque Llding, « feet containing jjm- >j£ 102 bule, with 24 marble busts; and of the three great halls above, the center one is for catalogues and delivery, and the others for general reading. Some of the departments of literature are more complete than in any other American library, and many scholars haunt the twilight alcoves while making books. John Jacob Astor left $400, ceo to found the library withal, in 1848, to which his son, William B. Astor, added $550,000, and his grandson, John Jacob Astor, $330,000. There are many Greek and Latin MSS., black-letter volumes, and Shakespeariana. This library, with the Lenox and Tilden foundations, will form the new Public Library at 426. st. and 5th ave. COOPER IMOX, a brownstone building at the head of the Bowery, is near at hand, and covers an entire square, containing free libraries, reading-rooms, lecture foundations, evening schools of design, engraving, science, telegraphy, etc., and the rooms of the American Geographical Society. It was founded by Peter Cooper, a wealthy ironfounder and glue manufacturer. He erected this building, in 1857, at a cost of $630,000, and richly endowed the group of free schools that he founded here. The library contains 20,000 books. FOURTH DAY. In summer and pleasant weather no better method can be found for spending a day than in a trip down the Bay. Let the visitor get up early and take the 9 o'clock boat for Red Bank. The trip has been gracefully described by a medern writer as follows: A toot of the whistle and we are off down the river, past the Battery, and before we have made up our minds which is the shady side of the boat, we have passed Quarantine, and are running out through the X arrows, with the frowning forts on either side cf us, and what appears to be the ocean in front, having run through the finest harbor, in every sen=;e. in the world. Sheering off to the right, we get a glimpse of South Beach, the Coney Island of Richmond County, and, in a few moments, are passing the Quarantine Islands, and steaming across the lower bay at a lively gait. The city is fading from 103 our view; the domes and minarets of lower I roadway are ' hull down the castles of Brighton Beach are hidden in the haze, and, for aught we know, the captain may be heading us f °' Taking a seat at the front of the boat, we look out upon a scene, strange and beautiful. On our nght, the H,g ^ studded with pines, and on our left a narrow strip of land terminating, about a mile behind us, in Sandy Hook, and separating us from, but not hiding, the ocean beyond The scene, from our places on the upper deck, mil never be io, gotten. Pleasure boats of every descnpt.on dotted here, there, and everywhere. Sailing, rowing, fishing, and crab- bing canoes dodging in and out, bathers on the beach, saucy little launches puffing away for dear life, and a brigh ne s over everything. We run through the drawbridge steer to the right, under the shadow of the lighthouses-those guid- ng stars to the mariner, which stand high up on the edge of the cliffs-call for a moment at the Highlands, and on a n, to the right, up the Navesink, making several more stops, and reaching Red Bank by about noon. We can s ck a c « et spot in the woods or on the shore by taking : the road toward Oceanic, or over the river, and eat our lunch and otherwise disport ourselves until the boat r*«r«S The boat doesn't leave again for four hours, and we can take it at any of the landings lower down. « We go through Red Bank, with its crowd of summer cottages-mansions for the rich and cabins for the poor- and out among the green fields. A walk o two miles br ng, «S to Fairhaven, and we wander down by the river exp lonng the shell-covered beach, sit on an up-turned boat and eat our lunch. Some one tells us it is four miles to Oceanic; what 5m The roads are good and shady, our spirits are high and we've plenty of time. The walk to Oceanic is a treaty TVere are still the same good roads to tempt us on and S "bright three miles ahead. We gradually leave the Nave- s"k and another hour finds us crossing the Shrewsbury 104 river at Seabright, and once again on the narrow strip of sand, and the ocean at our feet. From here we can take the Pleasure Bay boat for home, but the walk along the shore is tempting, as the breakers come rolling gently in, and in twenty minutes we are down at Highland Beach, over the swing bridge and back again at the Highlands, where those of us who have any 'grit' climb the hill to the lighthouse, and obtain a view that alone is worth the whole trip. The boat steams up about 5 o'clock, and we take our seats, pre- pared to thoroughly enjoy a two-hours' rest; pleased with ourselves, and the chance that took us there. A whole day of fresh air of the freshest kind, and exercises of the very best sort." FIFTH DAY. A visit may well be paid to some of the islands around New York. The principal are as follows: STATEX ISLAND, at the mouth of the harbor, covers nearly sixty square miles, and has 40,000 inhabitants, two railroads, the Sailors' Snug Harbor (near New Brighton), the summer resorts at St. George, and the great fortifications overlooking the Narrows. People call it " the American Isle of Wight," on account of the beauty of its scenery of hill and sea, and many New York merchants have their homes here. It is a part of Greater New York. Ferryboats leave Whitehall every half hour or so, for St. George. Fare, 10 cents. It has along part of its length the Staten Island Railroad, which is a connecting chain of many very at- tractive villages, where are to be seen hundreds of remark- ably pretty homes. DAVID'S ISLAND, off New Rochelle, was made an army hospital in 1861. and a depot for recruits in 1869. HART'S ISLAND, off Pelham Neck, is the site of city hospitals and workhouses, and of the Potter's Field, where over 2,000 pauper and unknown dead are buried every year. WARD'S ISLAND, near Hell Gate, has 200 acres, with fine old forests, and the State Emigrant Hospital, House of Refuge, Lunatic Hospital, Homeopathic Hospital, Soldiers' 105 Home, etc., a group of costly building,, attractively em- bower*) >n foliage, and looking out on wide lawns ULL1S ISLAND, l% miles from the Battery, h the land- ing place for emigrants.

Assuming that the last day of a vigor s stay in New York is Sunday, some information as to the churches is appropriate. Treater CHURCHES. There are nearly 1,000 churches in Greater IOC i\ew York. All creeds are represented. Of the more notable churches the following (in addition to those of Brooklyn, already mentioned in this Chapter 1 ) are worthy of note: ST. PATRICKS CATHEDRAL, the most magnifi- cent church in the United States. It was projected in 1850 by Archbishop Hughes, and the plans drawn by Tames Ren wick. The cornerstone was laid in T858, and May 25, 1879. the cathedral was dedicated. It has cost over $2,000,000. It is in thirteenth century decorated Gothic, like the cathe- drals of Amiens, Cologne, York, and Exeter; the material is fine white marble. In shape it takes the form of a Latin cross. 306 feet long, and 120 feet wide (140 at transepts), and ic8 feet high, with a clerestory upheld on lines of marble columns, and carrying a richly ornamented ceiling. On each side of the front gable (which is 156 feet high, the carved spires reach the height of 32S feet, making a marble mountain, uplifted on the highest point of 5th ave., a landmark for leagues. The seventy windows (thirty-seven of which are memorial) are of rich stained glass, and were made at Chartres, France, at a cost of $100. coo. That in the south transept shows forth the life of St. Fatrick; that in the north, the life of the Virgin. The main altar is 40 feet high, of Italian marble, inlaid with gems, and bas-reliefs of the Pas- sion, and on one side is the Gothic throne of the Arch- bishop. The altar of the Holy Family, of Tennessee marble and Caen stone; of the Virgin, of carved French walnut; of the Sacred Heart, of bronze; of St. Joseph, of bronze and mosaic. — are all of great interest and artistic merit.

TRINITY CHURCH, on Broadway, at the head of Wall st., is the richest parish in America, with revenues of $500,000 a year It was founded in 1697, receiving from the English Government a grant of its present site, outside the north gate of the city, to which, in 1703, was added Queen Anne s Farm including the territory along the river from Vesey st. to Christopher st. Much of this remains in the possession of the parish. When the Revolution broke out, the clergy were Royalist, and the patriots closed the church, which was burned down in 1776, and rebuilt in 1788. The present church dates from 1846, and is a Gothic structure, with a gray in- terior, carved Gothic columns, groined roofs, and the mag- nificent marble and mosaic altar and reredos, erected by his family as a memorial to the late William B. Astor. The church is usually open all day long, throughout the week, with morning and evening prayers, at 9 A.M. and 3 BM., and imposing choral services on Sunday. The parish spends enormous sums annually in charities. Its spire, 284 feet 108 high, commands a wide and wonderful view, and contains a melodious chime of bells. ST. PALL'S, at Broadway and Yesey st., was built in 1764-66, and faces away from Broadway, and was attended by W ashington. It is a chapel of Trinity parish. The in- terior is old-fashioned to a degree. At mid-aisle, on the Yesey st. side, the site of the pew of Washington is marked with his initials. The organ was brought from England years ago. Among those buried in St. Paul's churchyard were Emmet and MacNeven, Irish patriots of '98; Gen. Richard Mont- gomery, the brave Irish-American, who was killed in storm- ing Quebec; John Dixey, R. A., an Irish sculptor; Capt. Baron de Rahenan, of one of the old Hessian regiments; Col. the Sieur de Rochefontaine, of our Revolutionary army; John Lucas and Job Sumner, majors in the Georgia Line and Massachusetts Line; and Beverly Robinson, the Loyalist. TRIMTY CHAPEL is a brown stone Gothic church, on 25th st., close to Madison sq. The inside walls are of Caen stone, with tiled floors, and stained windows. ST. JOHN'S is a sandstone chapel of Trinity parish, with a deep portico, on St. John's Park, where the New York Central freight station now stands. ST. AL'GL"STI\E'S, in Houston st., near the Bowery, is a Queen Anne chapel of Trinity, with industrial schools, guilds, and mission house. An illuminated crystal cross on its lofty spire indicates when services are being held. The bell was cast in 1700, and presented by the Bishop of Lon- don, in 1704. GRACE CHURCH looks down Broadway from 10th st., and is a sumptuous and ornate edifice of marble, with a marble spire. The interior is rich in carvings, lines of stone columns, and forty stained glass windows. CALVARY CHIRCH. at -ith ave. and 21st St., is a cathedral-like stone structure, with a spacious interior, transepts, and Gothic columns. It dates from 1847. 109 ST.

The visitor who turns homeward trutn Greater New York without having spent at least half a day in making a system- atic inspection of the Big Store of Siegel-Cooper Co., will have omitted to see one of the principal, and certainly THE most interesting sight of the great metropolis. Now la re else in the world can one view an area of 15M. iicre*, or nearly 750,000 square feet, loaded w ith the finest mer- chandise that money can purchase, and that within the folic walls of one building. Free as air is this most stupendous achievement in the an- nals of Greater New York's commercial grandeur. A RUM. woman, or child may wander all day through the wide aisles of this magnificent temple of commerce, examining the myriad products of human industry, and this without being importuned to purchase. He or she is the welcome guest of the Siegel-Cooper Company, and expressly for the guidance of such visitors has this booklet been prepared. Every one in Greater New York knows the location of the Big Store. The Sixth Ave. Elevated Railroad has a station at its \ery doors. Horsecars, cable cars, and all conveyances pass its portals, situate as they are in the heart' of the retail shopping district, facing that principal thoroughfare of trade and traffic— Sixth ave.— between 18th and 19th sts. Let the visitor approach the store from 19th st. and oixth ave. The imposing white edifice, with its 200 feet of frontage and 465 feet of depth reminds one of the architectural beauties of the World's Columbian Exposition. Above its six floors, basement, cellar, and extra story on the roof, rises a lofty tower 245 feet above the sidewalk. Here shines a giant searchlight visible for 30 miles around- But it is early day, and searchlights shine at night. Let us enter the store and inspect: 126 THE MAIN FLOOR. On entering the Big Store by the imposing main entrance in the center of the 6th ave. front- age, the effect is again similar to that produced by the first view of one of the great industrial buildings of the late Chi- cago exhibition. W hile the vast proportions of the ornate ex- terior may have awakened admiration, it is not until one is within its walls that the extent of the Big Store is fully appre- ciated. Truly, it is a city in itself, for daily within its walls, 3,100 earn their bread and minister to the wants of i20,coo visitors. On either side of the broad central avenue, the perspective of which is only broken by a gleaming Statue of the Repub- lic, surrounded by fountain jets, arise hundreds of graceful columns, supporting the decorated ceiling. On the side and across aisles formed by these pillars, the bases of which are surrounded with mirrors, are the sales counters, stocked with every conceivable variety of goods. Raised at the rear of each counter are cashiers' desks and wrapping tables to insure rapidity of service. One of the notable features, illustrating the broad hospital- ity of the Big Store, is that no distinction is made between purchasers and mere visitors and sightseers, the series of promenades, apart from the displays of goods, being intended for the express use of out-of-town sightseers, as well as the ample areas around the fountain. Here all are invited to make their common meeting-place for their own profit and convenience. So thoroughly has the populace of Greater New York accepted this invitation that " Meet Me at the Foun- tain " has become a familiar household expression. DEPARTMENTS OP THE MAIN FLOOR. Mar;- and varied are the articles here exposed for sale. A partial classification is as follows, the figures referring to the large figures painted on the pillars or columns, facilitating the lo- cating of particular departments: Accommodation Wrapping Desk, between 15 and 17. Albums, 25. 127 Bedding, 20. Blankets, 20. Books and Stationery, 21. Candy and Soda Water, 15 and 17- Cigars and Tobacco, 40. Clocks, 2. Clothing (Men's and Boys'), 25 to 40. Cut Flowers, 15. Cutlery, etc., 2. Dress Goods, 3 to 9. Drugs and Chemicals, 14. Drug Sundries, 10 and 12. Exchange office. «7- Gloves (Ladies' and Men s), 6. Handkerchiefs, between 16 and 18. Hats (Men's and Boys'), 27. Hosiery (Ladies', Men's, and Children s), 13 and 15. Knit ^Underwear (Ladies', Men's and Children's), 13. Laces, 12. Laundry, 13. Leather Goods, 16. Linens, 20. Linings, 18. Men's Furnishings, 9. Muslins, etc., 20. Notions, between 16 and 18. Optical Goods, 2. Organdies, Lawns, etc., 20. • Patterns (Butterick's), between 16 and 18. Postoffice Sub-station, 15. Ribbons, 8. , _- ~ Rubber Clothing (Men's and Boys ), 29. School Stationery, 21. Shoes, 17 to 21.

Watch Repair and Engraving, 2. White Goods, 20. Woolens, 20. 128 Varied and valuable indeed is the display of merchandise on this main floor. It runs the gamut from choice cut flowers for the fair sex to cigars and tobacco for the lords of creation. You can buy a blanket to keep out the cold or purchase an iced soda drink to keep cool. Here is located a regular sub- station of the United States Postoffice and a telegraph office. You can purchase a book or a pair of shoes, an umbrella or rubber coat. Here are valises for travelers and the most artistic of custom tailors for men or boys. Everything is of the best Quality and is sold at the lowest possible price. There has been for some time a popular error prevalent as to large department stores, an idea that only a cheap quality of goods were on sale. Never was there a greater mistake made as to the Big Store. Here are articles just as fine and costly as any special retail store of Broadway or 5th ave. can display, but sold cheaper, sold for cash only, and sold cheap- er because of this fact. It is an ideal shopper's paradise. All things are at his command, fhe visitor can purchase in every department from basement to roof and, by an excellent transfer system, make one payment for all his goods. He is troubled with no parcels nor packages, for a free delivery of purchases in all the area immediately surrounding Greater New York is in operation. Let us proceed around this vast main floor and notice its excellent lighting. By day every nook and cranny of the Big Store is flooded with light from the expanse of plate-glass windows which form its three sides, so" that in every corner the most delicate- ly shaded tints may be matched without the customary trip to an advantageous light. But when the dusk comes it is then that the brilliancy of this extraordinary store, with its thousands of electric lights, will be most appreciated. The palatial promenade, 400 feet long and fully 25 feet wide, is offered unequivocally to the public as a free and open 129 strolling ground, and during the hours of business is in- tended for public use, with no more restrictions than govern the avenues and parks of New York City. Intersected at half its length by similar walks north and south, extending across the block between 18th and 19th sts., the center forms a circle around the ornamental fountain, in the midst of which stands a $15,000 reproduction of that majestic Statue of the Republic which adorned the Court of Honor at the World's Fair. All around are seats and resting places, with light refreshments close at hand. BAJbGOMY. All around the men's department runs a bal- cony, wherein are located offices pertaining to practically all the business and professions one might see represented in a city street or an entire country town. On mounting by the stairway, on the right, the first place found is a full-fledged bank. Here money may be deposited, and all the regular business of a savings institution done. Here foreign ex- panses can be bought and sold, drafts on foreign companies obtained, and every conceivable item of banking business done. , . , Dental parlors under the charge of skillful and experienced operators are also found here. The Balconv also contains: The Complaint Office, a Check Room for cloaks and parcels, a Lost and Found Of- fice, a Money Order Office (Adam's Express). Telephone Pay Stations, and the office of the Superintendent. ELEV VTORS. Let us return to the main floor and ap- proach the double bank of eight handsome Sprague electric elevators for the conveyance of visitors and descend into the BASEMENT, which contains The Barber Shop, Baskets. The Cafe and Restaurant. Crockerv Department, Flectrical Supplies, Glassware, 130 Hardware. Kitchen Outfits, Lamps, Marble and Bronze Statuary, Refrigerators, Stoves, Willow Ware, Wooden Ware. THE RESTAURANT accommodates 350 patrons at once, and is the pink of cleanly neatness. Here some 3,000 visit- ors are fed daily, and all the employees' food is cooked. The excellence of everything is guaranteed by the fact that all stores are drawn from the best goods sold by the Big Store. Your chop or steak comes from the magnificent ice chests you will see in the meat market, the coffee from the finest in the grocery department. An army of 110 neatly attired employees are here to minister to the wants of the inner man or woman, and the cool quietude of the place will induce many to linger over their meals and watch the methods by which such excellence is attained. BARBER SHOP. Adjoining the restaurant we find a model barber shop, where skilled tonsorial artists await visi- tors. Especial attention is paid to children's haircutting. Re- turning to the store part of the basement the visitor comes to THE ART CROCKERY DEPARTMENT. Here the gems of Europe are on display. We can feast our artistic eyes on $650 marble figures by Lapini, of Florence, and marvel at the delicate lines on Royal Vienna vases at $500 per pair. Here are lamps worth $150, and plates fit for an emperor's feast, at $330 a dozen. We see Royal Worcester vases at $100 each. French onyx pedestals at $160; Sevres ware at $100; Cloisonne ware, Teplitz ware, Royal Dresden, and the gems of European ceramic art. Nor is utility a whit less considered than luxury. Jn the 24,000 square feet of this department are articles to embellish the home of the artisan as well as those suitable to adorn the palace of the millionaire. All around on the extensive floor are assortments of Baskets, Crockery, Electrical Supplies, <.!.••<.- ware, Hardware, Kitcaea 0»tat«, Lamp*, Store*, Willowware, and Wooden ware. ENGINES-ROOM \M> MACHINERY. On the i8th Bt side of the building is situate one of the most modern and perfect engine-rooms in the city. Here are installed the fourteen tireless giants, who do all the heavy work of this huge building, and some of its most delicate operations. An aggregate horse-power of 1,550 is here in harness, varying from the monster of 225 horse-power to the little giant with a power of 25 horses. Nine dynamos and thirty-two electrical motors are also on the floor, with a total power of 7,450 amperes. A force of sixty men regulate the motion of this vast force, and some of its objects are curious indeed. Not only is all the lighting and elevating power generated here, but the coffee in the grocery department is ground, the churns for making butter are whirled around, the carpenter's shop is furnished with motive power, the sewing-machines are run, the dental apparatus, delicate to a degree, is set in motion, the hair-dyeing in the manicuring department is ef- fected, and the burnishing in the photograph-gallery is done by power furnished by this engine-room. The engine-room is 200 feet long, and contains nine dyna- mos, two of these being the largest ever built. The dis- tribution of electric wires throughout the building makes a circuit exceeding one hundred and twenty miles, and in addi- tion to purposes already enumerated, by means of these slen- der wires, flags are hoisted, fountains colored, cloaks and millinery ironed, sewing-machines run. and telephonic com- munication established in all parts of the building from 150 stations, which are all in communication without the aid of a central office. Perhaps the most interesting object in the motor-room is the magnificent marble switchboard, of which each indi%idual light and every separate application of electricity throughout the store are controlled with lightest touch of the operator's finger. This switchboard is nearly fifty feet long, constructed of magnificent white Italian marble, and raised six feet above the floor level on an iron framework, which also supports a platform for the operators, with massive brass rails, the whole being very handsome. Illuminated indicators and recording instruments grace the face of the switchboard, which may be seen the full length of the room, so that an electrician work- ing around the most distant engine or motor may see the power register each moment at a glance. Municipal regula- tions, as to fencing in machinery in motion, prevent the pro- prietors of the Big Store throwing open the machinery to public inspection, but an excellent view is to be had from the doorway, and this motor-room can not fail to prove one of the sights of New York. Here are also the ventilating machinery, the ice machines, the r.v.tomatic coal scales, and the immense boiler plant needed to run ail these machines. Some of the statistics of this department are curious for their magnitude. Twenty-three elevators in all are operated by electricity, in one of them 10 x 16 feet, a huge delivery wagon is raised to the sixth floor, there loaded under cover, and thence lowered for the team of horses to draw to its place of destination. Sixty thousand gallons of water are at hand in the engine-room wells for the sprinkler service in case of fire, and an additional supply of 128,000 gallons is ready on the roof. The fountain is operated by a pump with a capacity of 1,000 gallons a minute. Each dynamo in the en- gine-room is named after an illustrious man in electrical sci- ence. Six hundred arc and 13,000 incandescent lamps are supplied with current, and 36 motors are operated in different departments. The ten main passenger elevators make an average of 2,500 round trips a day, or a total of nearly 95 car miles. The marble switchboard has over 9,000 holes in it for wires, has 16,960 pounds (or over eight tons) of copper at its back, and has over 10,000 nuts, 1,800 bolts, and 15,000 washers attached to it, with 294 wires connected to it. In the 133 building there are over 1,400,000 feet of piping and 965 miles - C^A* points in the Big Store is the^ontro! of the elevators by electnc buttons ™^.^f*Z*£ ism whereby the elevator can not move Without the contm- ued attention of the operator, a novel and absolute guaranty aea.n.t accident. Another is the .solation of each of the K? dynamos ,n one of the basements upon separate foun- dauons obviating all jarring, and enabling a whisper to be heard between the whirring monsters. Then the asphalt sub- stratum of the sub-cellar, making the whole budd.ng damp- proof, is another of the extraordinary mcet.es whereby the proprietors of this establishment at every point ^ suited the health, comfort, and safety alike of the public and of their four thousand employees. . SECOND FLOOR. The second floor of the building is principally devoted to the sale of ladies' cloaks, suits, m, 11, nery. muslin underwear, art embroideries, toys, and athletic g0 i°n addition to the enormous counters and exhibition cases thele t dozens of elegantly furnished pnva rooms for every conceivable article of dress. Suits, cos uC, waists, cloaks, corsets, hats and bonnets, even un r wear; all may try before they buy in properly appointed little retiring rooms for that purpose. T e most attractive and the unique feature of the second floor however, is the magnificent saloon, mode.il, ^termed " the ladies' parlor," and the appointments opening out of t though there are separate sets of toilet rooms on every floor of the building, exclusively for the accommo Ration .0 visitors the innovation of a ladies' parlor ana its acces r ies amplv illustrates the prodigality of the proprietory 1 of STifi Store in catering for customers or casual visitors ^This parlor, which is on the ,8th st. side of the second floor and readily accessible from any of the elevator, the ground staircase, or either of the four stairways at each cor Ixlxlxlxl I I o SHI PPING ROOM • • • BOILER VENTILATING APPARATUS C.

Here are the choicest confections in millinery; seal- skins from $150 to $300; costumes ranging in price from $7 to $125; cloth and velour cloaks from $3-75 to $ I0 °; s,lk waists from $1 to $40; teagowns and wrappers from 75 cents to $40; children's garments from $2 to $40; mackintoshes from $2.50 to $15, and a thousand and one things desirable to the feminine eye. The athlete is here at home, as well as the sportsman, horse lover, or hunter. We find $250 imported shotguns near fishhooks at three cents per 100, an arsenal of sporting weap- ons and every conceivable kind of appliance for outdoor recreation. There are cameras for the amateur or professional photographer, ranging in price from $1.85 to $250; bicycles from $15 to $125; harness, from a five-cent curry-comb to a complete set at $1,000. There are s.ooo square feet exclu- sively devoted to sporting goods. Here also we find sheet music from one cent to $2.50 a copy; violins from $1.50 to $250; strings at three cents, and artists' materials to paint a picture complete. The second floor is peculiarly the headquarters of our old friend Santa Claus. In the Christmas holiday time and in ample time before the stockings are hung up, the fine old fellow revered by every child and half believed in by the elders', comes to his best friends, the Big Store, with his finest team of reindeer and most varied collection of toys. He chuckles with pleasure as the happy children circle around him. Their rosy faces and delighted eyes are his best reward. The parents purchase their offerings for the little stockings to hold, and Santa, bustling and important, hurries to the basement with his old companion. Kris Kringle, to superintend the loading of the 155 great wagons which are used at Christmas to help out his overtaxed reindeer. For if his deliveries are not on time, the tears of 136 one disappointed child would make jo.ly o.d Santa Cauo mourn for a whole long year. THIRD FLOOR. The visitor again makes use of the commodious electric elevator and ascends to the third floor, whereon are to be found the following departments: Advertising Department. Beds, i j to 16. Buyers' Office (entrance on 18th street), 40. Grrpets, i to 15. Furniture, 16 to 38. Main Office of Ihe Siegel-Cooper Co., 23. Notary Public, 29. Upholstery, 15 to 19. Wallpaper, 2. Very interesting indeed is the vast exhibit of the Furniture Department, which annually outfits 4,000 homes, in addition to selling hundreds of thousands of single articles of fur- niture to embellish homes already furnished. Here amid the 120,000 square feet of space devoted to showrooms (and storage on higher floors), one can see the blushing and beautiful bride-to-be selecting the fittings of her future home. It is the expectant bridegroom's haunt and department. He can purchase the furniture for a five-room flat for the modest sum of $60, or if his purse be heavy enough, can spend $6,000 in the embellishment of the same space for his bride's de- light. The showroom contains but a single specimen of each arti- cle, all the vast stock being stored upstairs. Purchased direct of the manufacturers the gems of the cabinetmaker's art come to the Big Store in pieces. Each article is examined by expert workmen, and then, and only if found absolutely perfect, is it put together and taken into stock for sale. The " clocks that wouldn't figure " meet a speedy rejection, and never reach a purchaser's home. The parlor suits are well worthy of careful inspection, ranging in price from three-piece suits at $12.50 to $600. With a furniture stock of 100 huge railroad carloads always at hand and 1,000 carloads arriving annually, small wonder is 137 it that the m Store's furniture floors have ever been a wonderful exhibit even to the trade. On this floor is situate the handsome and vast business office, directing the energies of this mammoth concern. One marvels at the tireless energy of the brains of this vast con- cern, factor as it is for the public welfare as much as it is for individual gain. We again a.cend by the elevator and reach THB POl RTH FLOOR, which presents the appearance of a great international food exhibition. Here again a popu- lar promenade is provided by the great central aisle, on either side of which are booths or stalls, each selling every conceivable proprietary and patent preparation of food. Every known food product of all countries on the globe is there espied, not only for sale, but fur free sampling. The entire floor, with its 03.000 square feet of space, is devoted to groceries, meat, vegetables, fruit and dairy prod- ucts, making the biggest and most extensive market under one management in the world. Visitors are forcibly reminded of the pure food shows which have been held in Madison Square Garden and else- where but this last, which occupies a fraction of the big store building, exceeds them all in the variety and abundance of its exhibits. Behind hundreds of little counters or stalls neatlv attired young women or uniformed salesmen offer their wares for gratuitous sample. An epicurean tea drinker or a coffee connoisseur can satiate himself with samples of every known brand. All who favor the multitude of waters and proprietary drinks wind) flood the country have an oppor- tunity to test and taste the rival thirst-quenchers to the full. Housekeeping cares become luxurious in such a ptace. The housewife seats herself at a cozy little table and a bright oung woman takes her order, bringing, as often as required^ lampL of the food products desired. There is ample room for all and abundant attendants to wait on every one. Noticeable features are the electrically operated coffee- grinding machines, the ingenious sugar-weighing apparatus, and the dairy where butter is made in the visitor's view. The senses are tickled by a thousand and one wholesome scents of the finest comestibles, and does one desire to purchase a little wine for his stomach's sake and for home consumption a well-appointed \\ ine and Spirit Department presents every known product of the vine. Along the north side of the fourth floor are ranged the magnificent refrigerators, those for dairy produce and fish being toward the west, while the butcher's stores are at the east end. This creat three hundred feet stretch of double glass freezing houses is among the most interesting spec- tacles in the vast house of wonders. Never before, perhaps, has the handling, or, rather, transportation, of fresh meat been done so delicately. For, from the time it leaves the company's slaughter houses until it reaches the butcher's block for disintegration into salable cuts and joints, the great half carcasses of beef or mutton are not handled at all. From one of the huge freight elevators runs a single rail- road track of iron, on which are suspended the great chunks of meat. By means of switches and sidings these are run into position within the immense transparent freezing rooms, and there, as with the trucks of a complicated railroad sys- tem, moved about at will. The butchers' blocks are in them- selves a picture. Cleanliness and order have been the guiding spirit in the planning of this latest and greatest of the world's department stores. A most popular feature of this fourth floor is the exhibit of Birds and Animals for sale. W hile space does not admit of the exhibition of the larger wild creatures such as the lordly elephant or the monarch of the wilds— the lion, yet a most comprehensive collection is always on view. Birds in all their beauteous plumage sing and twitter in handsome cages, monkeys gambol for the delight of the children, and a touch of nature comes into a most interesting mart of commerce 13C The various departments found on the fourth loor are as follows: Birds and Animals, between Pillars 16 and 18. Fresh Fish and Oysters, 5- Fresh Fruits, 13. Fresh Meats, 19- Groceries, 1 to 24. Vegetables, 11. W ines and Liquors, 14. THE FIFTH \M> SIXTH FliOORS are nol opei visitors. Here are located the vast stockrooms of the Big Store One can find furniture going to Honolulu in Ha- waii, to l'etropolis in Brazil and two carloads to a British Secretary of Legation at Stockholm in Sweden. The fame o the Big Store as a place where man can purchase wisely and well has spread to the ends of the earth, and such facts are telling instances of American enterprise. Here is the Mail Order Department, for the convenience of out-of-town cus- tomers; the female employees' lunchroom, where 600 can lunch at one time and at cost. There is also a cozy parlor for the young women, with a piano, newspapers, a library and gymnasium for the welfare of its employees is the Big Store's first concern. A neat little temporary hospital, with six snow-white beds, shows also how keen a care the Siegel-Cooper Company has for its fair employees even if temporarily indisposed A highly qualified physician is continuously on duty for visitors and employees' service alike. ' Here is the Supply Department, a business in itself to keep the wheels of this vast business rolling. Here they use hundreds of gallons of black and red ink every year. Think of a business that uses 45,000 steel pens a year, 1,200 papers of pins a week, 80,000 grocery bags in a like period, and 250,000 salesbooks in a year. Imagine, if you can, the vast output of merchandise w ch requires 600 tons of wrapping paper in a year, fiv : m, l ion bags in the same period, and which uses up nearly one hun- dred and fifteen million feet of twine in twelve months sales. 140 The wrapping paper alone, if spread out, would cover an area of nearly 38,000.000 square feet. It takes 40 gallons of mucilage a month to supply the Big Store's needs, while the cloak and suit department alone clamors for 1,000 delivery boxes a day. Ten thousand handles for small parcels such as meats and groceries are given away to customers each week. But let us again ascend by the elevators at the Sixth ave- nue corners of the store to THE ROOF, not the least attractive portion of the mam- moth establishment. Here, winter and summer alike, is the colossal conservatory and palm house, in itself a sight worthy of some substantial botanical garden. Tremendous tree ferns occupy the center of the cross- shaped corridors, ?.nd these are hemmed around with the most magnificent specimens of fan and other palms, India rubber trees, and every conceivable form of ornamental plant. Here, throughout the year, may be purchased all manner of horticultural triumphs for house decoration; plants in great profusion are for sale, and cut flowers of the rarest varieties or those in more ordinary use. Priceless orchids or modest violets are here sold and supplied in any desired quantities. Opening from this floor is an immense photographic gallery, the largest and most complete in the United States. It is fitted up with all the latest improvements appertaining to the photographic art, and an able staff of assistants under the control of a master of the art of artistic portraiture. Here the visitor can obtain the finest and most artistic portraits, varying in size from the smallest miniature to life size. W ith ✓ a capacity for completing .1,000 photographs on a bright day and 20,000 in a week, this i= the most modern and up-to-date gallery in America. Enlarging is done in crayons, water colors, pastel, and oils. The visitor can obtain a crayon portrait for $1 to $25, or he can pay $250 to $300 for the finest kind of reproduction in pastel or oils. Proceeding through the great reception-room of the photographic department, 141 past the many cozy and elegant dressing- and retiring-rooms with which it is provided, the staircase leading to the ob- servatory and the tower which ornament the Sixth avenue front of the building is reached. A flight of easy steps brings one to the roomy observatory, situated at an altitude of 200 feet, and from which may be obtained one of the most central and, therefore, perhaps, the finest bird's-eye view in the city. Still higher than the public observatory, in the summit of the tower, is the great Siegel-Cooper searchlight. This mon- ster lens is thirty-six inches in diameter, the largest ever made, and when working at full power projects a ray equal to seven million candles. Its light is visible for JO miles. It is used for the benefit of the public in signaling the re- sults of elections and like matters, and for the benefit of the Big Store by throwing adverting announcements upon the lower surface of clouds by night. When returning from the tower one gets a glance at an enormous iron tank, and thus one is reminded of the extraordinary precautions which have been taken by the architects and proprietors to make the most recent retail trading house absolutely safe from fire. MISCELLANEOUS, CURIOUS, and INTERESTING STATISTICS. The Big Store cost over Four Millions of Dollars to build. Its goods and fittings cost nearly Two Million Dollars more. The approximate value of mer- chandise in the store is two million dollars. Over one mill- ion and a quarter dollars is annually paid in salaries to the employees of the store. There are 68 departments, the ag- gregate sales of which annually reach into many millions of dollars. The Big Store regularly employs 3.100 persons, so that at the moderate estimate of 4 persons in each employee's family, over 12,000 persons are in a way dependent on the store. In the holiday season there are over 4,500 employees. The parcels sent out average 15,000 daily. It is estimated that 120,000 people on an average visit the store daily. At Christmas this number is more than doubled. 142 DELIVERY OF PARCELS. New York Proper.

No deposit is required if the address is within the limit of the wagon delivery in the preceding list, but outside such limits a deposit of from one-tenth to one-quarter will be required. THE DELIVERY SYSTEM. Ingenious and most methodical is the delivery system of the Big Store. For the city and suburban delivery an entire floor of the basement is laid out in sections like a map, and the most elaborate check is kept of every parcel and delivery. The new stables of the Big Store, running from 17th to 18th streets, between 7th and 8th avenues, is a most interesting exhibit in itself. There are accommodations fcr over 200 horses, a hospital for sick horses, and every modern veterinary appliance. The Big Store also has stables in Harlem. Newark. N. J., and on Staten Island. In summer special wagons serve all the nearby summer resorts. Fifty single wagons, also C3 single and 42 double trucks are daily engaged in the delivery of pur- chases from the Big Store. MEDICAL ATTENDANCE AND CARE OF VIS- ITORS. Any visitor suddenly overtaken by illness or in- disposition can obtain the most skilled medical attendance and care by requesting any employee of the Big Store to summon the House Physician, who is always in attendance in the building. No- effort will be spared by the employees of the store to care for any visitor overtaken by sickness. INTERPRETERS. Skilled interpreters of every Euro- pean language are to be found in every department of the Big Store. Inquiry of a floor-walker or at the Superintend- ent's Office in the balcony will at once procure the services of a cultivated and educated man or woman fluently conver- sant with any desired language. 14? BMPbOYMS* BEHUCFICIAJL ASSOCIATION. An excellent association for the employees is in operation, pay- ing sick benefits and death allowances and furnishing the best medical aid to any disabled or indisposed employee. 148 CHAPTER X WHERE TO FIND IT A COMPLETE SHOPPER'S ABC GUIDE TO THE BIG STORE'S MERCHANDISE All articles are indexed and alphabetically arranged under their names.
