Some Big Figures from
a Busy Year in Chicago

and 10000 horses, or a total of IL, ,4S0,-
900 animals in 100000 ears, showing an
increase of 34O,7O cattle, A, 300 calves,
32O, 300 hogs, $50, 900 sheep, II, 900 horses
and 1880 ears over 1900.
A portion of this number of animals
received were shipped out of the city
again alive, but the great majority
went out in the form of dressed and
canned meats, the number slaughtered
in the city during the year being $685.
600 cattle. 164. 100 calves, 1896, 500 hogs
and 5,331.7 sheep, a total of 13, ,227 600
animals manufactured into a vast va
riety of foods and other products.
This number is over 100000 greater
than in 1900, surprising all previous
years in slaughter, and indicates the
expansion of Chicago's packing indus
try.
The total value of the live stock sold
In the Chicago market during the past
year was $30l, 900. an increase over
the preceding year of $32, ,295, 600, and
was greater by $S,OOO.OOO than any pre-
vious year in Chicago's history.
The last census showed a total of
223,l21,737 farm animals of all kinds
in the country, and of this great num-
Der practically one-fourteenth passed

ticles of agreement.
For three rounds the fight was inter
esting and honors were pretty evenly
divided. The chiyalrous sports, how
ever, wanted the woman TO win. and
while she was being sponged between
the rounds to keep her in good condi-
ton, the man was given long braces
of whisky.
After the third round few iolts on
the chin made him groggy, and in the
fifth he was knocked out by his spouse.
The referee officially awarded the fight
and the boy to the woman, and when
the man came to he was informed that
he had no claim on the lad.
This adjustment of the trouble NAV
not be strictly according to law, but
there is no doubt that il will hold at

tlement of the existing difficulties,
and the city began to build again.
Real estate took an upward turn that
caused many holders to let go at the
advanced prices, and many notable
sales were made.
The number of real estate transfers
during the year reached a total of
24,O92, and the total consideration

mediately following the worlds fair,
though both are above the average
for the past ten years.
But the greatest difference is noted
in the value of the building permits
issued. In 1900 they amounted to
SIS, ,OOO, 900, while in 1901 the total was
$35,OOO,OOO.
A large part OF this has been, and
is yet being, put into large office
buildings in the business district.
Following the great Chicago fire
came building boom that gave to
ly cheap and small buildings. They
were constructed to meet the needs
of tho hour, and with but little re.
gard 10 future requirements. They
were, as a rule, two, three and four
story structures. These stood until
the early nineties, when they began
to give way to the sLyscraPers. This
change in the style of architecture
in the business district Of the city
has given to Chicago an appearance
of incongruity.
But the last of the small buildings
are rapidly giving way for newer and
larger structures, and where a few
years ago a view down a street
showed nothing over four stories ir
height there are now whole blocks OF
buildings that will run ten, -, IA and
10 stories.

Nothing pleases

the people OF NHl-
cago more than the big things of life.
They are provincial as yet TO that ex-
tent, and big figures, when shown on
the right side, are quite as acceptable
as big buildings, big manufacturing
institutions, a big population or any
thing else of sufficient size to attract
the attention of a maryeling malti-
tude.
The past year was a prosperous one
for Chicago in every line. The banker,
the broker, the baker, the butcher, the
wholesaler, the retailer, the manufac-
turer, the employer and employe,
everybody was satisfied with what the
old year had brought when it was time
for it to depart and leave the field TO
1902.
Bank figures will depict the financial
condition of a community probably
better than anything else. They rep
resent all classes, for into the banks
goes The savings Of the multitude as
well as the business accounts of the
corporations, the merchants and the
manufacturers. And this is the tale
the banks tell:
On deposit at close of 1900, $3SS, ,245,-
793.
On deposit at close of 1901, SAB, ,722,-
4O5.
More than S55.OOOOOO more in the
strong boxes of the city to the credit
of the people than year ago. It rep
resents an increase of about IA per
cent.
Bank figures tell also of the volume
of business done by a community, and
Chicago is proud of her record of the
past year in this respect. There
passed through the bank clearing
house in Chicago during the year 1901
the enormous sum of $7,756, ,372, ass, as
against $6.799. .535.5Gs in 1900. an in
crease of 1856, ,S36,S57. In other words,
Chicago did nearly 81. 900. 900 more
business in 1901 than in 1900.

PRIZE FIGHT FOR BOY.
Montana Woman Wins in Novel Fis-
tie Encounter with the Aid of
Gallant Miners.

There was a novel prize fight at
Joliet, Mont, recently. The affair was
to have been to d finish, but lasted
only five rounds. The contestants
were husband and wife and the stake
was their three-year-old boy, Dick.
The scene of the affair was Gilbert
Hall, the largest in the town. A we'll
known man acted as referee.
The couple had separated and never
met except by chance. On these Oc-
casions there was always a fistic en-
counter. At all times, either by force
or by strategem, the woman remained
in possession of the child.
It was decided that the man and his
wife were to enter the ring and fight
to a finish, the boy being the spoils.

''But what is your fee for this ad-

Seven dollars" replied Mr.. Levy.
The two men produced the fee and
paid it over. saying at the same time
that Mr.. Levy had relieved them of a

railroads of South Africa, cotton

to be found, whether ii be the well edu-
Gated, highly civilized scholar of Eu-

The Chicago drummer is a typical

1900, and he didn't do so bad in 1900.

Mr.. Tillman. That is what they call
them. OF course, they are higher

much higher type of men than the
negro, but | cannot help that. Your
writers, your school teachers, and
your officers there call them negroes.
Mr. TiIlmal says some true
things occasionally. 1t Is true that
the American negro should have
the sympathy of their more FORUM
ate citizens. Their former con-
ditiOn is the immediate cause of
their present cowardice Educa-
tiOn has not helped the American
negro very much. That anti-bel-
lum days proclivities have never
been eradicatsd from the present
generation, The American negro
doesn't know what it is to stand
by and support each o;her, And
as long as the American negro
lives he will more or less retain
the old slave characteristics. There
is more treachery and deception
among the present generation of
negroes than could be found in the
slave negro.
The Philippine negro, it is true
was subjected to Spain but he did
not know what slavery was. Where
ever you find negro slaves, there
you will fad cowardice, deception
and treachery. Mr.. Tillman has
been encouraged IN his attack
upon the negro. He told the
truth when he asserted that the re-
publican party was afraid to pro-
tect the American negro. Mr..
Tillman is as much against the
northern white man as he is against
the negro. He is for the white man
south and all that Mr.. Roosevelt
can do, he will find that the south
is against him.
