The ])o'.iciiig of a city is an important adjunct to good gov- ernment, and in this respect Baltimore is fortunate in having one of the finest poHce forces in the country. Its efficiency is indi- cated by tlic low percentage of crime, and the fact that profes- sional criminals give this city a wide berth. .\rt. Mv. LlTER.MURE. While Baltimore has never posed as a modern Athens, nor laid special claims as being particularly accomplished or erudite, there is a strong sentiment for the fine arts, and a cultured taste for the higher forms of music and literature. One of the most valued collections of art — the Walters' Collection — is located here, for which Air. Henry \\'alters has just had erected a commodious art gallery, which is an architectural ornament to the city. It stands within the shadow of the Washington Monument. On stated days during the year it is open to the public, and visitors from all sections of the country come here to view these art treasures. Obliquely across Alt. \'ernon Place stands the Peabody Insti- tute, with its magnificent library, its art gallery and Conservatory of Alusic. The institute was endowed by the late George Pea- body, the merchant philanthropist. There is also an interesting collection of paintings in the building of the Maryland Historic;d Society, St. Paul and Saratoga streets, as well as a valuable col- lection of historical data relating to the men and women who helped to create Maryland history. One of the most useful establishments in the citv in an educa- tional and artistic way is the Alaryland Institute, with its Schools of Art and Design, which in the last half century have afiforded thousands an education that has developed artists and architects of national renown, and not a few who have acquired international fame. The new building which was recently completed on Mt. Royal avenue will provide additional facilities to jnipils who arc chiefly drawn from the working classes. The building is of hand- some design, in white marble, and was made possil)le through the liberal contribution of Mr. .\ndrew Carnegie and the generositv of Mr. Michael Jenkins, of this city, who donated the ground. The city also made a large appropriation to complete and furnish this structure. For the night classes the new building at Centre Market is used. There are also two or three colleges or schools devoted to the instruction of vouths in the intricacies of business life, and these Minor C. Keith, President. H. D. Bush, Vice-Pres. and Mgr.

Baltimore is deriving fame from the work of the Johns Hopkins University, which has become recognized as one of the world's justly celebrated institu- tions of learning. Eventually the buildmgs of the Johns Hopkins will be grouped at Homewood, in the northern portion of the city, where better facilities will be aiiforded to those whose object is knowledge. Of no less importance is the Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, one of the most modern establishments for the treatment of the sick and the pathological study of diseases, in this country or abroad. The training school for nurses is an adjunct, which has been highly commended for the thoroughness of the course and the proficiency of the graduates. Several other medical col- leges and hospitals are maintained here, and the reputation they have attained contributes largely to justify Baltimore's claim as a centre of liberal learning and culture. It is doubtful if any city in the land is blessed with better public schools, or a more satisfactory system of educating the children of the masses. Modern buildings are taking the place of the less desirable schoolhouses. Some of the more conspicu- ous examples are the City College, the new Eastern High School, the Western High School, and the State Normal School, the latter of which is for the special instruction of those who are preparing to become teachers. Besides those enumerated, there are numer- ous private or semi-private schools, prominent among them the Woman's College, which enjoys a national celebrity. B.\NKS .\ND Trust Comp.\nies. While conservatism in financial affairs has characterized Bal- timore, it is not to be understood to mean that the banks here arc- not progressive and enterprising. But the enterprise is based on safe methods, and for this reason Baltimore has been singularlv free from the panics and upheavals which have so frequently brought ruin and disaster to other communities. Some of the new bank buildings erected since the fire of 1904 are palatial in architectural beauty, and will vie with the most pretentious m other localities. The trust companies, of which there are several, are staple in character, and are financiallv sound and strong. The same may be said of the National banks and the savings banks, among which failures arc practically unknown. C. & P. 'Phone, South 346. Md. 'Phone, Henrietta 90. JOHN EPPLER (Formerly of C.

MD. cOpy^iatTco IMS joKcs s c/atM'Dscf Court House. Calvert, Lexington, Fayette and St. Paul Sts. I'acilities Ft)R Commerce. Tlie growth of Baltimore's commerce has been phenomenal during the past two decades. With a harbor that has few equal-- along the Atlantic seaboard, and connections with two trunk lines, to which a third, the Wabash, has recently been added, Baltimore is in touch with the inexhaustible coal fields of Pennsylvania, West \'irginia and Maryland, and is the shipping port for thous- ands of tons of this product. The golden grain fields of the West are accessible by rail, and with a channel deep enough to accom- modate almost the largest of ocean-going steamships, Baltimore is the geographical and natural gateway to the Atlantic. Millions of tons of Western produce pass through this port annually, and witih the completion of the new city docks, and those being con- structed by private corporations, together with ample grain ele- vators, Baltimore affords facilities for maritime commerce un- surpassed. Incidentally it may be mentioned that shipbuilding is one of the important industries here, and the port which was once the home of the most famous clipper ships that ever crossed the seas is no less notable for the class of vessels of a more modern type. In this connection it may be worthy of mention that the monster floating drydock "Dewey," now at Afanila, was built and launcheil in these waters, from the shipyard of the ^Maryland Steel Com- pany's works, at Sparrows Point. Hotels and Theatres. Travelers and tourists who look for comfort and entertain- ment when they visit a strange city find both here. The hotels, while neither so numerous nor so large, perhaps, as are to be found in some other cities, are, nevertheless, abodes of comfort of a kind not usually present in public hostelries. As a rule, their cuisine reflects the renown Baltimore has attained for good cooking and good eating. With delicacies of the Chesapeake Bay — the oyster, crab, canvasback duck and terrapin — and with the choice game with which the moors and woodlands of ]\Iary- land abound, the most fastidious epicure, or exacting gourmet, will find here viands to please the palate, and served in a style that challenges emulation. Pialtimore is well ])rovided with places of amusement. Tiic numerous theatres present most of the metropolitan successes during the season, and playgoers find ample to entertain. Among theatrical jseople this city is regarded as a good show town, al- ^prman flattings lank 0f lalttmorr (Ettg S. W. COR. BALTIMORE AND EUTAW STREETS r>'.:,S.^^^- Sii|icri(ir t'oiiil Uooiii.

Circuit Court. though the audiences are considered as being precisely critical, which means that a theatrical production to be a success in Balti- more must possess genuine merit. City ui- Homes and Hospitality. Possibly in no city in the country is the home sentiment so strongly developed as in Baltimore. It is this characteristic which makes the city so attractive to the visitor, to whom the portals of home life are thrown open. Love of home is apparent in the ranks of the humble as well as in the circles of the rich. Prob- ably to this cause may be attributed the spirit of hospitality which so generally prevails. In no other city is the exchange of social amenities so universally observed, or domestic content so pro- nounced. This fact has impressed strangers when they have sojourned for a time within our gates, and they have marveled at the charm of home life which makes Baltimore unique. It has been said that where there is a strong taste for home and its en- joyments there is a contented people, and Baltimore and Balti- moreans aiTord a living illustration of this fact. Parks and Suburbs. Someone has likened this city to a gem encircled by emer- alds. The simile is not inappropriate, for North, South, East and West, Baltimore is girdled with a chain of parks and picturesque suburbs. The rapid development of the latter is mainlv due to the extension of rapid transit provided by the United Railways. The park extension is in process of accomplishment, and in a few years a continuous system of parks and boulevards will sur- round the city. Of the parks developed, Druid Hill, with its seven hundred odd acres, takes precedence in size and import- ance. Nature fashioned it with its hills and vales, its wooded glens and tree-crowned hills, its sweeping lawns and deep ravines, which make it a thing of beauty and a joy forever. There is probably no park in the world more picturesque or attractive. Human ingenuity and treatment have enhanced the gifts of na- ture and made it a delightful pleasure resort for the thousands who go there for recreation. Clifton Park, formerly the country residence of the late Johns Hopkins, through whose beneficence the university and hospital bearing his name were founded, is another retreat where thous- of Baltimore BALTIMORE STREET A^D SlJISr SQXTi^RE (CHARLES STREET.)

Another charming pleasure preserve is Patterson Park, in the Eastern section of the city, which forms part of the original estate of William Patterson, whose daughter, Betsy, married Jerome Bonaparte, brother of the first Napoleon. There are a score of smaller parks in different parts of the city, which form breathing spots and a relief from the eternal bricks and mortar. B.'XLTimore's Industries. During recent years Baltimore has made remarkable strides in manufacturing industries, and development along this line has received a fresh impetus since the big fire. The self-reliance shown by the men who were the heaviest losers by the disaster commanded the admiration of the country at large, and the pluck and energy displayed in the work of restoring shattered fortunes emlisted the interest of cai)italists and induced many to invest their money in industrial enterprises. Just now the city is enter- ing upon a new era of prosperity, which bids fair to eclipse all previous achievements, and is destined to rank with the foremost manufacturing centres in the East. With the completion of the new sewerage system, now in course of construction, with improved pavements, for which a loan of 5.000,000 is proposed, with increased shipping and rail- road facilities, there is every reason to believe capital seeking in- vestment will be attracted here and that Baltimore's productive energy will be multiplied threefold within the next decade. REPRr-:sF.NT.\'nvE Business Firms. Intersper.sed throughout the pages of this edition are a few advertisements of representative banks, financial institutions, edu- cational establishments, and business firms. Primarily, the object of this work, as already intimated, is to present in an attractive and artistic manner a pictorial review of Baltimore's renaissance. The business publicity feature is secondary and subordinate to the purpose of offering, in a permanent form, a representation of Baltimore's modern development. FINIS. YOUR Kodak Man!
