day of Oct. 8, 1871, this marvellous city
burned. The loss was reckoned in the
hundreds of millions. Chicago bad

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 do2 What would life be worth?

Chicago Rebuilt.
The city of Chicago was mainly re-
built in the year 1879. For decade
later there was a uniformity in the lines
of five story business blocks that gave to
the city solemn and mighty appearance.

woMAN'S TEMPLE.

If 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 a railroad the most freight
and the greatest number of passengers.
Fort Dearborn was built in 1903. 1t
became untenable during the British
war of 1912 on account of Indian hostil-
tiles. The garrison, with women and
children, marched out on Aug. 10,
1919, and on reaching tree which now
stands dead at Eighteenth street and the
lake a massacre began which finished
with the escape of only few of the
whites.
With the advent of the civil war Chi
cago, as 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 a
skating rink, murder, a horse race, an
,-+n haG a1,n1 ant
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 firmament of history.
The reader must recall the fact that
these people We're 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, saw and spade. A city of
$4,000 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-

With the invention of the water ele-
vator, buildings might proftably go
higher than six stories. The Montauk
block, on Monroe street. near Dearborn,
ventured skyward ten stories, and there
were citizens who avoided Monroe street
until the autulnnal gales proved that tol
story buildings would stand. The year
1884 saw the completion of a group of
thirteen story structures-the Board OF
Trade, the Royal Insurance, the Home
Insurance, the Pullman and the Rook-
cry. The foundations for these stupen-
dous piles entirely filled the cellars. Chi
cago had been noted for the fimsiness
of her architecture. Suddenly each
builder seemed bent on outdoing his
neighbor in cyclopean construction.
High buildings were experiments. In
four years-after many doubts-they
succeeded. The Auditorium was pro-
jected by Ferdinand Peck, and its dedi-
cation by the president of the United
States and Adelina Patti discovered to
all observers gathering Of persons of
vast wealth. No city could be other
than metropolitan whose inhabitants
could afford to rent over fifty opera
boxes at Sc 500 for season of three
weeks.
Meantime the Boulevard, which was
once Michigan avenue, stretched south

mansions on Fifth avenue in New York.

coped with marble breakwater, and
the towers and keeps of Potter Palmer's
Middle Ages castle rose conspicuously
among 500 other houses whose magnif-
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 1t would require
but a 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 filed 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 1879,

sixteen stories of today being each very
low and not higher together than ten
stories of the old days. Iron and tile,

Auditorium has the largest theater in
the world. A tower some twenty stories
high is always open to sightseers at
fee of twenty-five cents. The Auditorium

The Masonic temple is, SO far as is
known in Chicago, the largest and most

to be city in itself, with ten stories of

and Randolph streets.
The Woman's temple, at La Sale and
Monroe, is perhaps the next largest pile,
and its success is wholly assured as
business venture.
The Chamber of Commerce block, the
Tacoma, the Rookery, the Pullman, the
Home, the Germania, the Ashland, the
Royal Insurance, the Monadnock, the
Unity, the Phenix, the Rialto and a
dozen other vast, steeplelike structures
will demand share of attention. Those
buildings best repay q visit which, like
the Masonic temple, the Royal, the c.,
B. and @. and the Chamber of Commerce
(at Washington and La Salle), offer
central view of their entire interior.
You may stand at an upper balustrade
in these houses and look sheer to the
floor. The wainscoting, ceiling, walls
and pavement are often masses of orna-
mental variegated stone.

1t is the common remark of these days
that the growth of Chicago has no par
allel in history. Fifty-fve years ago
there were 1900 Chicagoans. When
the war began there were 100000.
When the great fire came there were
35O,000. Now the school census shows
100000, and the gain since it was
known the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton would be held at Chicago has been
not less than 100000 souls.

city. They will journey thither to in

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?
Are there any sights, lions, attractions?
How is living, how are hotels, how
about the drinking water?
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
house, where ten cents will rent place
to sleep. Besides these accommodations
the newspapers teen with advertise
ments of board to be had, and if the
visitor will visit some handsome street,
and thereafter search in the advertise
ments for a boarding house in that
quarter, he cannot go awry. He will be
safe, comfortable and economical. A

Music hall is usually open with good

favorite pastimes.
Charities, Etc.
The state of Illinois and the city of
Chicago are we'll off in hospitals and
charities. The Cook County hospital
and its surrounding structures form the
most notable group of therapeutic and
educational buildings in the country.
Beginning with the Cook County and
Presbyterian hospitals we may reckon
not less than thirty important Chicago
institutions of this noble character.
The public library has 1870 900 volumes,
and is strong in periodicals, costumes
and Egyptology.
The Newberry library, Iow forming,
has an endowment of So 800 900 1t will
stand on North State street, ON Wash
ington square.
The Crerar library will have similar
endowment, and will bar out novels, es-
pecially French ones.
The Art institute is rapidly rising on
the lake front in place of the Interstate
Exposition building.
There are seventeen converts of Cath
olic nuns in the city.
There are 465 churches and 317 church
buildings, with steeples, bells or stained
windows.
There are $500 manufacturing estab-
| lishments, and some of them employ
5000 men each.
Clubs are an important feature of Chi
cago high life.
First comes the Commercial club,
which is an inner circle of the Chicago
club. 1t has sixty members, and to OBJ
tain admission is the ambition of every
man who is growing enormously
wealthy.
The Calumet club has great house at
Michigan avenue and Twentieth street.
Its annual reception of old settlers has
made it famous historically
The Chicago club has recently bought
the old Art institute 1t vacated a fine
building. 1t is the oldest of the clubs.
The Illinois club has beautiful home

The La Sale club counts the director
general of the Worlds fair among its
originators. 1t is a Republican club
and owns marble house on West Mon

little apprehension of trouble on the
score of accommodations for Chicago is
a vast city, with over sixty square miles
of improved real estate. 1t is a fact that
the Democratic national convention of
1892 was not especially noticeable in the
city streets. The scene on the main
streets at the noon hour, when the great
Office buildings empty their tenants for
lunch, is one not to be forgotten by per-
sons Injured to solitary surroundings.
Thoroughfares.
The visitor will wish to know what
streets are important ones in Chicago
He will be confused by the bridges, for
he can always look two ways and see
bridge. All the streets of the central
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
street; going northwest, Milwaukee ave-
nue.; going southwest, Blue Island ave
nue..
South Side-State street, for the stock
yards; for the fair, Wabash avenue; for
carriages, Michigan boulevard.
Thirty years ago Lake street was all
in all. Twenty years ago Clark street
was supreme. Now State street possesses
the most valuable front feet and cor
ners. The crowd at Christmastide is
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
the new railroad, which is to go south
ward from the Douglas park region to
jackson park, all other roads lead down
town first and thence to the fair. AT
