ICopyrlght, IP9U, by American Preaa Associa tion.] It is the common remark of theso days that the growth of Chicago has no par allel in history. Fifty-five years ago there were 4,000 Chicagoans. When the war began there were 100,000. When the great fire came there were 350,000. Now the school census shows 1,400,000, and the gain since it was known the World's Columbian exposi tion would be held at Chicago has been uot less than 000,000 souls. ilSBi Hi i L E • 1 as Mfpel dpi It E f d Mi plllfiS But if] ffinf mu&f "rrav, s hh fflsj.ligg 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 tion of the human race. If the emigrant desired to reach a region westward of Lake Michigan, the journey as far as Chicago would bo 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 pjiss through. Tlio entry of steam power into the affairs of men only increased the advantages of Chicago. That <tfty could offer to a railroad the most freight ami the greatest number of passengers. Fort Dearborn was built in 1803. It became untenable during the British war of 1812 on account of Indian hostil ities. The garrison, with women and children, marched out on Aug. 15, 1812, and on reaching a treo which now stands dead nt Eighteenth street and the fake a massacre began which finished with the escape of only a 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 a 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, 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 si>ot on the globe. The young men of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, lowa and Wisconsin, increasing the wonder and curiosity of their elders, fooked steadfastly on Chicago for in spiration and good fortune. It was at (this date—war times—that the New York Tribune and Moore's Rural New Yorker lost their supremacy in western animls. Tlio western star of empire rose clearly into the firmament of history. The reader must recall the fact that theso 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, feuceH had been built, and the tools were but an ax, a saw and a spade. A city of 350,000 souls, with stone fronted palaces | sfr stories high, had risen in their very j sight. It was mighty to them. It was 1 their all. New York, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Vienna—these cities, ' with their smooth streets and Rhadv ! vistas, were in another world. NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY. On the night of Oct. 8 and the whole day of Oct. 0, 1871, this marvelous city burned. The loss was reckoned in the hundreds of millions. Chicago had been. It was no more. Chicago was like a dream. Theso 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 bnsiuesa. Without Chicago, what would they ditf What would life be worth? Where would the news come from?—for nothing ever seemed to happen outside of Chicago. Withal, there was joy that the conflagration was the greatest that ever wast It fulfilled the fond expecta tions of the west. They told you sol these fanners, thrashing in their bams. Chicago Rebuilt. The city of Chicago was mainly re built in the year 1872. For a decade later there was a uniformity in the lines of five story business blocks that gave to the city a solemn and mighty appearance. With the invention of the water ele vator, buildings might profitably go higher than six stories. The Moutauk block, on Monroe street, near Dearborn, ventured skyward ton stories, and there were citizens who avoided Monroe street until the autumnal gales proved that tc.i 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 ery. The foundations for these stupen dous piles entirely filled the cellars. Chi cago had been noted for the flimsiness 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 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 $2,500 for a 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'bn the north was coped with a 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 bad the grace to say that he thought Michigan boulevard was the finest resi dence thoroughfare he had Been in the world. With one more epoch of architecture wo arc arrived at the gates of 1893 and the World's Columbian exposition. It was discovered by the inventors that if a steel houso were built it would require but a comparatively small foundation. Thus the Taeoma building ros£ to six teen stories with no outside walls. When it came to that, terra cotta 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 SIOO,OOO on the foundations of the Woman's temple, at Monroe and La Salle. These pyramids of stone com pletely filled the excavation to street grade. It 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 nether regions to increase the revenue of its landlord. Wo 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, marble and plato glass, red clierry and POBTOFFICK AND CUSTOM HOUSE, terra cotta are everywhere. A letter can be mailed at the elevator shaft. The old buildings—called old now, with only twenty years of age—are all doomed. Their handsome facades, their stately columns, arches and acanthus leaves cut in stone must be demolished, keeping Chicago in turmoil, but preparing the city for the labors of the future. If huge monuments are prophetic it must be that those labors are to bo tremen dous. Visiting Chicago. During the next year Chicago will be visited hs Paris and New York are vis ited. People will not go there on busi ness, nor to change cars for some farther city. They will journey thither to in spect the World's Columbian exposi tion, 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? Are there any sights, lions, attractions? How is living, how are hotels, how about the drinking water? ClliCligo'H llutoU. There are about 2,000 houses in Chi cago, Lake View, Evanston, Hydo Park, Englewood, Austin and Oak Park that carry the names of hotels. Thoy range from the caravansary, with 200 suites of chamber and bath, to the cheap lodging house, where ten cents will rent a place I to sleep. Besides these accommodations the newspapers teem with advertise ments of Ixrnrd 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, fie will be safe, comfortable and economical. A list of well kuown hotels is appended. Their highest prices by the day are given. Where that figure is nine dol lars, it mnst bo understood that guests can be kept as low as four or five dollars a day: Highest Rooms, per day.

Rapid transit will carry thousands to their fur off homes over night, and other hun dreds of thousands will enter Jackson park to leave it at night for home, see ing Chicago not at all. There need be little apprehension of trouble on the score of accommodations, for Chicago is j a vast city, with over sixty square miles ; of improved real estate. It is a fact that the Democratic national convention of j 1892 was not especially noticeable in the j 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 inured to solitary surroundings. Thorough fares. 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 a 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, Bluo 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- : nors. The crowd at Cliristmastide is ; like the gatherings in Fourteenth street, j New York city—perhaps more numerous. I Chicago has not yet reached the Baron j Hanssmann stage. Her streets are near- i ly all at right angles. To relievo this evil condition of things there are but four or ; five diagonal streets, and but two that j pierce the heart of the city. Along I these namely, Milwaukee and Blue , Island avenues—live the vast foreign j populations that have so steadily swelled ! Chicago's census. This lack of direct communication will ! fall upon visitors to the World's fair as , their most serious burden, for it will 1 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, whic\i is to go south- 1 ward from the Douglas park region to Jackson park, all other roads lead down town first and thence to the fair. At the same time the inconvenient situa- j tion of the West Side hotel, restaurant and boarding houso keepers will moder ate their views of the traveler's necessi- I ties, and he will obtain a measurable abatement of high prices. THE ROOSEttY. On the great thoroughfares rapid cable cars run at a fare of live cents. From Lake street to Jackson park is over eight miles. Tunnels go under the river on the North and West Sides. The West Side cable is the newest, swiftest and best. We have said Chicago is three cities— the West, North and South "Sides." The West Side. For many years the West Side of Chicago was as populous as both the other quarters. The World'B fair and the massing of the millionaires' houses on the South Side, together with the annexation of southern suburbs, have brought tho South Side to a purity in population. Three beautiful parks skirt the west ern environs of Chicago, connected by the system of drives which Is to lncloso the entire city. On the northwest Is | Humboldt park; centrally lies Garfield I park, with its artesian well. On the southwest is Douglas park. Each of these pleasure grounds is decorated with a handsome pavilion and a still more striking conservatory. Large lakes are | a feature of the landscape, and row | loats may be had for hire in each park. ! Union park is a pretty square on Wash iugton boulevard. AltT INSTITUTE, MICHIGAN AVENUE. The most beautiful street of west Chi cago is Ashland avenue, which, turning into Twelfth street and Ogden avenue, offers to wheelmen and drivers an as phalt pavement without equal anywhere in the city. Leaving Garfield park, en tering the city, turning into Ashland boulevard at Union park, turning into Twelfth, veering into Ogden avenue, reaching Douglas park and taking Doug las boulevard for Garfield park again, the cyclers may have a nearly ideal ride of over seven miles. Jackson boulevard is paved with asphalt and has many magnificent houses. Washington boule vard, a fine macadam residence street, is perhaps the finest of tho West Side driving avenues. The population of tho West Side is about 600,000 souls. It has two good theaters, and tho display of shops at Halstead and Madison streets is the most I brilliant to be seen in tho whole city. ! Tho reader must not forget that railroad ! trains will run from Ogden avenuo U : Jackson park direct, thus making the southern part of the West Side easily ! accessible to the exposition. I The churches of Chicago, as a general thing, are not large. Often, tob, the I architects have striven to depart from j tho conventional aspects of ecclesiastical : edifices. There is not a church on Madi . son street, which is five miles long. The North Side. Should the visitor find himself on the I North Side, ho should not miss a visit to | the waterworks at Chicago avenue and i the lake. The building and its isolated | water tower are ornaments of the city, | while the great pumping engines will be | a fascinating study for any one who has ! never been on board ship. ! Following the Lake Shore drive north : ward past tho superb homes of jnany mil i mionaires and the archiepiscopal palace ! of Archbishop Feehati, the statues and 1 flower beds of Lincoln park aro soon in 1 view. This is the favorite resort of the children of tho city, j Here Mr. Charles F. Yerkes operates a beautiful colored fountain at night, and hero is displayed the largest collec tion of wild animals in the city. This zoological garden is deficient in inon ; keys, giraffes and famous birds, but j maintains an excellent show of catlike j animals, bears, wolves, seals, ruminants, i beaver, otter and other rodents. The | floral display at Lincoln park is excelled j at few places in America. Tho regatta lake, an artificial waterway a mile or j more in length, has been made for the benefit of oarsmen. ! Passing without from Lincoln park, j the inquirer is soon at Gracoland, where i are gathered many beautiful tributes |of love and affection for the dead. The j chapel at Graceland is one of the finest lin the world. The Ryerson vault of I polished granite, tho Farwell obelisk and other great stones are well worth | seeing. Farther north is Rose Ilill eein : etery, with Long John Wentworth's I great monolith, erected by himself; and j Calvary, the Catholic burying ground, | witli Mulligan's monument, is still far- I ther north. At the beautiful northern suburb of ; Evanston stands the Northwestern uni , versity, the most celebrated seat of | learning in Illinois. The Mouth Hhle. The long and narrow strip which is reached by State st reet and Wabash and i Michigan avenues harbors the wealth and pride of Chicago. When a West i Sider gets a million he moves to Prairie ; avenne. Within a stone'B throw of each other on Michigan, Calumet and Prairie avenues live a hundred men who to gether are said to own estates worth j $800,000,000. I The best system of street cars and transfers is on the South Side and was built up by C. B. Holmes. The first ! elevated road was from Congress street > (the Auditorium) to Fiftieth street, and i will reach Jackson park. The suburban service of the Illinois Central (lake shore) road accommodates vast numbers of peo ple. The exposition is on the South Side, at the finish of handsome drives and parkways. Property on the West Side has not advanced in value. Some of the real estate stories told on the South Side would task a strong credulity. The South Side always had the court house, postoftice, the great clubs and the Art institute. When the churches moved out of the center after the tiro they all went southward. The horse cars are still running on many West Side streets, and electric lights have been kept out by the gas trust. All but two of the railroad depots are on the South Side; tho stockyards are on the South Side. Some property eight miles from the court house south ward is worth S3OO a foot; some two miles southwest is woi but SOO a foot. Yet these very inequalities make tho West Side a cheap place for the frugal, keeping them out of tho way of those prouder souls who love to support a lib eral expense. Monument*. The monuments of Chicago are not many, am) are, with the exception of the one erected to the memory of Doug las, of a minor value as city exhibits. The Douglus monument stands on a fine plat overlooking the lake from high ground at Thirty-sixth street It was finished at state expense. Both railroad and cable cars pass this conspicuous memorial on their way to the exposition. In the Hay market, on West Randolph street, West Side, stands the monument erected to the memory of the eight po licemen killed by the bomb of May 4, 1886. The bomb was not thrown in the Hayinarket or where the monument stands. Tho spot lies to the right of the monument anil 200 feet into the cross street called Desplaines, and commonly pronounced as it is spelled. The cele brated meeting of revolutionists was held still farther away. The other public monuments are near ly all in Lincoln park. Tho great eques trian statue of General Grant stands on a rude stone structure. St. Gaudens' statue of Lincoln is highly praised and loudly condemned, according to the taste of the visitor. It represents Lincoln in modern attire, risen from a stone chair, reading the emancipation proclamation. There is a beautiful group of Indians, and there are handsome effigies of Lin naeus, Schiller and La Salle. Sheridan is to have a monument in Union park, on the West Side. Gruat Iluildlngtf. Tho visitor will do himself an injus tice, if ho be from rural districts, if he do not carefully inspect at least a dozen of the celebrated tall buildings of Chi cago. Here science and art have united, with wondrous profusion of means, to delight the eye and bring comfort to the occupant. In the Auditorium, for in stance, are 50,000,000 pieces of Romax ffffL MjiiwTlUl fffflrt'l r:>y fMSLEiIL fMitfaeM & fl ft II 'C | rEE'SLLT 111 r hwTWFßiißeliiflri |g fl r [! i.

A tower some twenty stories high is always open to sightseers at a fee of twenty-five cents. Tho Auditorium all in all is tho principal "lion" in Chi cago proper. The Masonic temple is, so far as is known in Chicago, the largest and most novel structure on earth. It covers the quarter of a city block. It is intended to he a city in itself, with ten stories of stores, seven stories of offices, three stories of lodgerooms and a roof garden twenty-one stories from tho ground. Tho pillars in tho rotunda are eighteen feet in circumference. The rotunda itself terrifies the spectator. Calcula tions of tho economies gained by tho nse I of this building are the favorite paa times of its tenants, and it cannot be [ doubted that the advertising advantages of doing business there will soon show ' themselves in the most surprising man ner. The Masonic temple is at State and Randolph streets. Tho Woman's temple, at La Salle and Monroe, is perhaps the next largest pile, and its success is wholly assured as a business venture. The Chamber of Commerce block, the Tacouia, the Rookery, the Pullman, the Home, tho Uermania, tho Ashland, tho Royal Insurance, tho Mouadnock, tho I Unity, the Pheuix, the Rialto ami a dozen other vast, steeplelike structures will demand a share of attention. Those buildings best repay a visit which, like the Masonic temple, the Royal, tho C., B. and y. and the Chamber of Commeroo (at Washington anil La Salle), offer a central view of their entire interior. , You may stand at an upper balustrade in these houses and look sheer to tho floor. The wainscoting, ceiling, walls and pavement are often masses of orna mental variegated stone, j The store warehouse of Marshall Field ; stands at Fifth avenue and Adams. I Richardson, the architect, is said to 1 have charged SIOO,OOO tor the plans. The building is remarkable for tho large ' size of its blocks of dark granite. It gives a darkish look lo the entire vicin- ; ity. This is the largest dry goods busi ness in tho world. A 111 UM'lllttUtH. Although Chicago has not escaped the ' murrain of variety acting v/hich all lie ts the stage, her theaters are as good as any, and one of her managers, Mr. Me- Vicker, probably ranks at the head of his profession in America. Of late years theaters have succeeded on streets two miles from the center of town. Thirty , theaters give daily performances, of which the principal ones, outside of the Auditorium (not usually open), are Mc- Vicker's, the Grand opera houso, Huo ley's, the Chicago opera house, tho Co- i MASONIC TEMPLE, lumbia, the Eden Musee, the Academy of Music, the Haymarket, the Criterion, Havlin's and the Olympic. Central Music hall is usually open with a good card, and panoramas of the tiro, Niag ara and Gettysburg are permanent at tractions. Moonlight excursions on the lake and cable rides on the grip car are favorite pastimes. Charities, Etc. The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago are well off in hospitals and charities. The Cook County hospital and its surrounding structures form tho most notable group of therapeutic and educational buildings in the country. Beginning with the Cook County and Presbyterian hospitals wo may reckon not less than thirty important Chicago institutions of this noble character. Tho public library has 180,000 volumes, and is strong in periodicals, costumes and Egyptology. The Newberry library, now forming, has an endowment of $2,500,000. It will stand on North - State street, on Wash ington square. The Crerar library will have a similar endowment, and will bar out novels, es pecially French ones. The Art institute is rapidly rising on the lako front in place of the Interstate Exposition building. There are seventeen convents of Cath olic nuns in the city. Thero are 465 churches and 317 church buildings, with steeples, bells or stained windows. There are 3,500 manufacturing estab lishments, and somo of them employ 5,000 men each. Clubs. Clubs are an important feature of Chi cago high life. First comes the Commercial club, which is an inner circle of the Chicago club. It has sixty members, and to ob taiu admission is the ambition of every man who is growing enormously wealthy. The Calumet club has a 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 tho old Art institute. It vacated a line building. It is the oldest of the clubs. The Illinois club has a beautiful home on Ashland avenue. The La Salle club counts tho director general of the World's fair among its originators. It is a Republican club and owns a marble house on West Mon roe street. The Union club has palatial quarters on the North Side. Tho Union League club has a home i opposite the postoffice on Jackson street , and is a power in social affairs. Tho Ashland club has a big house at I Wood and Washington streets. The Marquette is a similar institution on Dearborn avenue. The Argo club summers at the outer end of the Illinois Central pier, while less enterprising idlers swelter in the heats of the south wind. The Press, tho Whitechapel and tho Sunset are clubs that are often heard of, and about which public curiosity exists. The Press club is building on Michigan avenue. It has nearly all tho authors of the city in its membership. iii i THE AUDITORIUM. Thoro life nt least a hnnilred ether social organizations ot influence and j Standing. This feature of city life shows a rapid development There are at least fi.OUO dramshops in i Chicago. On the whole, Chicago is an excellent j place for the World's fair. The inhab itants will not he jealous of the exposi tion. They will accord to it the gran- ! deur which it has. They foel the need of a "lion" "worthy of Chicago." They will not compel the civil guest to waste precious time outside the gates of Jack son park. One sees Chicago by passing through the streets. At the fair the greatest of sightseers may sup full a thousand times and still leave a thou- ] sand things unseen. JOHN M'OOVEBN. I WONDERFUL The cures which are being effected by l)rs.
