building enterprise ever undertaken in
America, and supplies Chicago with the
most complete temple OF music TO be found
anywhere.
Mr. Peck is q native Of Chicago, where he
was born forty-two years ago. He received
his education in his native city, having
graduated from the high school, then from
the Chicago University, and lastly from the
Chicago Law School. Besides beng presi-
dent of the Chicago Auditorium Company,
he is president of the Chicago Athenanm,
a society which educates young people in
ali branches Of practical knowledge, presi-
dent of the Chicago Opera Festival Associa-
ton, director OF the Union League Club
and an earnest member and supporter OF
the Illinois Humane Society. He is also the
manager of the Peck estate, which came
from Investments made by his father in
Chicago property.
Protracted travels in his native country
and Europe have made Mr.. Pecks name
familiar wherever there are lovers of good
music, and there is perhaps no man living
to-day who has a more extensive personal
acquaintance with the beau monde of the
Old and the New Worlds than the thought
full blaek-hared originator of the Auditor
ium His great aim in life at the present
time is to provide elevating and refining
music for the common people at popular
prices To further this aim, he has spared
neither labor nor expense, and has denied
himself many pleasures.
When in Chicago, Mr.. Peck and his in
teresting family, consisting of wife, four
sons and two daughters, occupy a hand
some residence on Michigan boulevard, the
most exclusive thoroughfare of the city.
The summer villa of the family is located at
Oconomowoc, Wis, where he is well known
as one of the prominent members and of
ficers of the Wisconsin Yacht Club. In
Europe, Mr.. Peck makes his temporary
home wherever the best music may be
found, never coafning himself to conven-
tional visits to London or Paris.
As long as Chicago has among her million
of inhabitants such men as Mr.. Hutchinson
and Mr., Peck, it viii hold an enviable place
as seat Of culture and art, whatever
carping critics may write. And before
closing it may be well to say that the gen.
tlemen here introduced To the readers of
this paper are but the representatives OF
a class which is as strong in numbers as it
is IN genuine enthusiasm. Chicago always
has, and always will, hate cant and hy-
pocrisy, and while, with becoming modesty,
she has never advertised herself as an art
center, she has done, and is doing, more for
the true artistic advancement of her people,
and the people of the West, than has ever
been done by New York, or Boston, or
Philadelphia for the inhabitants of those
cities and their environments.

GRANT AT DoNELsoN.
How He Escaped From Being Assassinated by a
Crazy Confederate

Crazy Confederate.
On the morning of the surrender OF
the Confederate troops at Fort Donel-
son, Federal staff officer approached
the works occupied by Baldwin's Bri-
gade, Of Buckner's Division, and inquired
for the headquarters of the brigade
commander. He was shown to the
quarters of Colonel John G.. Brown,
Third Tennessee Infantry, who was
temporarily in command of the brigade
Upon meeting Colonel Brown the Fed
eral officer announced that he had been
sent forward By General u. S. Grant,
commanding United States forces, to
learn the location OF the brigade head
quarters, and that he would return and
inform the Federal commander The
officer then rode back to the line of
works, and meeting General GraRt and
staff conducted them To the tent of
Colonel Brown.
Colonel Brown, allow me to intro

forces
Colonel Brown acknowledged the in
PRODUCTION by polite though formal
bow.
Colonel Brown il gives me pleasure
to take by the hand an officer who has
made such brave Defense" and re-
moving his hat, the Federal commander
leaned from his horse and extended his
hand, which Colonel Brown accepted
with that grace and dignity which, with
his gallant bearing on the field, so dis
tinguished him afterwards as Major
General
After few minutes the psrty passed

1882 this society purchased building
site at the corner of Michigan avenue and
Van Buren, street at an expense of $4,000,
and few years later laid the foundation
for handsome structure to be devoted TO
permanent art exhibition. The building,
one of the last planned by Richardson, the
famous Boston architect, is a fair speci-
men of Romanesque architecture, built of
red sandstone, with an artistic entrance on
Michigan avenue. The lower three floors
contain sixteen galleries. The interior has
an attractive hall with handsome frieze
and massive square pillars capped with
arches which support broad stair
case with double landings environed with
Venetian iron-work. The basement is de-
voted to class-work, the first floor TO the
museum and galleries, and an old building,
in the rear of the structure, is given over
exclusively to class rooms.
The school connected with the Art Insti-
tute is attended by over three hundred
regular students. On Saturday and Sun
day of each week the art collections are
absolutely free to the public thus giving to
the working classes an opportunity to be-
come familiar with some of the greatest
works IN painting and sculpture. The
institute Is rich in sculptures, casts and
bronzes, and has splendid collection of
paintings by some of the best-known artists
OF the present day.
The credit for the development of the
institute is due to young man whose
name is as familiar IN business as in art
circles, Mr.. Charles L. Hutchinson, son Of
