woMAN's TEMPLE.

II we seek for causes, we are told that
Chicago was the point farthest west
ward by water carriage in the temperate
zone during the greatest historic migra-
ton of the human race. If the emigrant
desired to reach region westward of
Lake Michigan, the journey as far as
Chicago would be the easier and least
expensive part of it. A city is made
not by itself, but by its surroundings;
not by those who stay but by those who
pass through. The entry of steam power
into the affairs of men only increased
the advantages of Chicago. That city
could offer to railroad the most freight
and the greatest number of passengers.
Fort Dearborn was built in 1903. 1t
became untenable during the British
war Of 1879 on account of Indian hostil-
tiles. The garrison, with women and
children, marched out on Aug. Is,
1912, and on reaching tree which now
stands dead at Eighteenth street and the
lake a massacre began which finished
.Eith the escape of only few of the
whites
With the advent of the civil war Chi
cago, as a railroad center, rendezvous
and news distributing point, became the
cynosure of the west. Its press carried
the news of battle and made the daily
newspaper necessity. As battles were
not everyday events, the local affairs of
the young city were ceaselessly pressed
upon the attention of the people, and
skating rink, a murder, a horse race, an
artesian well or a baseball tournament
served to fill western Americans with
the never ceasing idea that in some way
Chicago was the most wonderful spot
on the globe.
The young men of Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, increasing
the wonder and curiosity of their elders,
looked steadfastly on Chicago for in
spiration and good fortune. 1t was at
this date-war times-that the New
York Tribune and Moore's Rural New
Yorker lost their supremacy in western
minds. The western star of empire rose
clearly into the armament of history.
The reader must recall the fact that
these people were pioneers. They had
built log houses in the forests. Wells
had been dug and curbed, baskets had
been made, brooms had been made,
shakes (shingles) had been split, fences
had been built, and the tools were but
an AK, a saw and spade. A city of
100000 souls, with stone fronted palaces
six stories high, had risen in their very
sight. 1t was mighty to them. 1t was
their ALL New York, Philadelphia,
London, Paris, Vienna-these cities,
with their smooth streets and shady
vistas, were in another world.

With the invention of the water ele
yator. buildings might prottably e
higher than six stories. The Montaul
block. ON Monroe street, near Dearborn
ventured skyward ten stories, and there
were citizens who avoided Monroe street
until the autumnal gales proved that ter
story buildings would stand. The year
1884 saw the completion of a group OF
thirteen story structures-the Board oil
Trade, the Royal Insurance, the Home
Insurance, the Pullman and the hook-
ery. The foundations for these stupen-
dous piles entirely filled the cellars. CHI
cago had been noted for the finishes
of her architecture. Suddenly each
builder seemed bent on outdoing ms
neighbor in cyclopean construction.
High buildings were experiments IN
four years-after many doubts-they
succeeded. The Auditorium was pro-
iected by Ferdinand Peck, and its dedl-
cation by the president OF the United
States and Adelina Patti discovered to
all observers a gathering Of persons OF
vast wealth. No city could be other
than metropolitan whose inhabitants
could afford TO rent over fifty opera
boxes at So 500 for season of three
weeks.
Meantime the Boulevard, which was
once Michigan avenue, stretched south
ward for fifty blocks lined with houses
nearly every one of which was as hand
some and commodious as the Vanderbilt
mansions on Fifth avenue in New York.
The Lake Shore drive on the north was
COPIED with marble breakwater, and
the towers and keeps of Potter Palmer's
Middle Ages castle rose conspicuously
among 500 other houses whose magnifi-
cence was gainsaid by nobody. The
Duke of Marlborough came to Chicago,
and had the grace TO say that he thought
Michigan boulevard was the finest resi-
dence thoroughfare he had seen in the
world.
With one more epoch of architecture
we are arrived at the gates of 1898 and
the Worlds Columbian exposition. 1t
was discovered by the inventors that If
steel house were built it would require
but comparatively small foundation.
Thus the Tacoma building rose to six
teen stories with no outside walls.
When it came to that, terra Gotta cast
ings were strung on iron joists. In this
way the cellar of the Tacoma building
could be made TO bring a large rental
each year. Marshall Field had ex-
pended 100000 on the foundations OF
the Woman's temple, at Monroe and La
Sale. These pyramids of stone com
pletely filled the excavation to street
grade. 1t would cost many thousands
of dollars TO take them out. But out
they came, and the enormous Woman's
temple-the dream of Mrs. Carse and
Miss Willard--thus preserved its neither
regions TO increase the revenue of its
landlord.
We are thus at 1892 On every hand
scorning the regular roof lines of 1872,
rise buildings just twice as high, the
sixteen stories of today being each very
low and not higher together than ten
stories Of the old days. Iron and tile,

NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY.

On the night of Oct. and the whole
day of Oct. 8, 1871, this marvellous city
burned. The loss was reckoned in the
hundreds of millions. Chicago had
been. 1t was no more. Chicago was
like dream. These tidings-the most
frightening that the world had heard
in modern times of peace-came upon
the western states with paralyzing
force.
For days men went dazed about their
business. Without Chicago, what would
they do? What would life be worth?
Where would the news come from?-for
nothing ever seemed to happen outside
Of Chicago. Withsl, there was JOY that
this confagration was the greatest that
ever wasl 1t fulfilled the fond expecta-
lions of the west. They told you sol

Chicago Rebuilt.
The city of Chicago was mainly re-
built in the year 1872. For a decade
later there was uniformity in the lines
of five story business blocks that gave to
the city a solemn and mighty appearance.

Visiting Chicago.
During the next year Chicago will be
visited as Paris and New York are Wis
tied. People will not go there on bust
ness, nor to change cars for some farther
city. They will journey thither to in
spect the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton, of which they have heard so much.
and to see Chicago, of which they have
heard so much more. What are the
chief characteristics of that city? What
kind of place is the tourist to behold:

Chicago's Hotels.
There are about 1000 houses in Chi
cago, Lake View, Evanston, Hyde Park.
Englewood, Austin and Oak Park that
carry the names of hotels. They range
from the caravansary, with 200 suites Of
chamber and bath, to the cheap lodging

to sleep. Besides these accommodation

list of well known hotels is appended.
Their highest prices by the day are
given. Where that figure is nine dol
lars, it must be understood that guests
can be kept as low as four or five dollars
a day:

He will be confused by the bridges, for
he can always look two ways and see a

section of Chicago are crowded with
people. but the great thoroughfares for
the stranger may thus be named:
North Side-Clark street.
West Side-Directly west, Madison

South Side-State street, for the stock

was supreme. Now State street possesses
the most valuable front feet and cor

like the gatherings in Fourteenth street,
New York city-perhaps more numerous.
Chicago has not yet reached the Baron
Haussmann stage Her streets are near
ly all at right angles. To relieve this evil
condition of things there are but four or
five diagonal streets, and but two that
pierce the heart of the city. Along
these = namely, Milwaukee and Blue
Island avenues-live the vast foreign
populations that have so steadily swelled
Chicago's census.
This lack of direct communication will
fall upon visitors to the Worlds fair as
their most serious burden, for it will
often double the cost of their street car
fares. Chicago is in reality three cities,
as effectively as Brooklyn, Jersey City
and New York. With the exception of
