a small part of the floor, but will ac-
commodate comfortably more than
300 persons. Each bank of seats
is numbered, that travellers may make
an appointment and readily find their
friends.
Along thu .ntire north side of the
main waiting room are doors leading
to the grand concourse, from which
passengers gain access to the trains
The concourse is 316 feet long and
so feet Vide, with ample stairways
at either end leading to Canal and
Clinton streets; passengers do not
have to pass through the main por.
tion of the terminal.
The Mezzanine Floor
Probably the best view of the gen.
eral waiting room and a better idea
of it's size and beauty is obtained
from the gallery of the mezzanine
(third floor on the Clinton street
side). At this point of vantage the
decorative effects are more pro.
nounced, and the lighting arrange
ments appear more beautiful
On this third floor are some fea-
lures that are novel as applied to a
passenger terminal. For the ladies
there is delightful rest room, a wo-
mems dressing room, private bath
rooms, children's room in charge
of trained nurse, where the little
folks may be cared for and rested
while waiting for trains; an emer-
gency room equipped to tender hos
pital service, with nurses to care for
the sick; a tea room of unusual at
tractiveness and most artistic decor
ations.
Mere man is long ways from be-
ing neglected. For him the mezza-
nine floor has barber shop and ad-
joining it are private baths, then
there is a splendid lounging and writ
ing room.
Mr.. and Mrs. Traveller can stop
worrying about the time lost in locat-
ing accommodations where the even
ing dress may be donned and the
subsequent hurry to catch the out
going train is now most agreeably
obviated.
Heretofore such conveniences have
not been obtainable at any terminal
in Chicago, and for that matter not
now excelled by any terminal in. the
United States.
Some Facts and Figures
1t requires 450 employees to take
care of traffic IN the new terminal.
If the train shed was filled with
coaches they would comfortably seat
$4,000 people.
Area, 13 acres. Number of tracks
16. Capacity, 200 cars. Length of
tracks if placed end to end, two and
one-half miles.

new Northwestern
PASSENGER AGENTS
p. NJ. & O. Passenger
Department

Some important changes have re-
Gently occurred in the passenger de-
partment of the Chicago, St. Paul
Minneapolis and Omaha line. T. w.
Teasdale, who for many years has
been general passenger agent of the
Northwestern lines with headquar-
ters in St. Paul, has resigned his
position, being in feeble health. He
is succeeded by G. H. MacRae, who
has been for many years assistant
passenger agent with Mr.. Teasdale.
E. L. Pardee, formerly travelling pas
senger agent of the line and we'll
known in the northwest, has been
promoted to assistant general pas
senger agent with headquarters in
Omaha. Hugh Lancaster, formerly
travelling passenger agent with the
Northwestern in other territory has
been assigned to Mr.. Pardee's ter
ritory, which includes North Dakota.
The host of friends of Mr.. Teas
dale, who for so many years has been
at the head of the passenger depart
ment, will regret to sever their old
time pleasant relations and associa-
tions with him in the official capacity
in which he has so long and ably
presided. Mr.. MacRae, the new gen.
eral passenger agent is fortunate
selection as a successor of Mr.. Teas
dale, as he is thoroughly posted upon
the conditions of the northwest. Mr..
Pardee, the new assistant passenger
agent, is likewise a rising young
railroad man of ability and popular
ity, having earned his promotion by
first class work in his department.
With the reported closer relations
between the Northwestern line and
the Northern Pacific, which indica-
tions now point to, the selection of
men at the head of the Northwestern
passenger department who are thor
oughly posted on conditions of the
country between the twin cities and
the coast, will be satisfactory news
to thousands of travellers over the
two great railroad highways, the
Northern Pacific and the Northwest
ern line.

through this remarkable terminal.
Every convenience that one can pos
sibly imagine has been provided for.
the new terminal is conveniently To-
Gated on Madison street, extending
from Canal to Clinton in the midst of
the city's greatest activity and within
a few blocks of prominent hotels.
At the Madison street entrance the
visitor is confronted with a massive
four story structure of classic de-
sign of the early Renaissance style of
architecture, the most prominent
feature of which at close range is the
lofty Doric portico, supported by a
colonnade of six granite columns,
each sixty feet high and seven feet
in diameter at the base.
Entering the terminal the first i'm

so high and the colors so nicely and
softly blended, the arrangement of
the public space SO suggestive of

200 feet wide by 80 feet deep and
is devoted to the necessary transac-

feature is, these transactions can be
accomplished with comfort. There
