H, To Obtain all the good results oi 2. natural lithia ivater it must be used both still and sparkling as cases present. Some forms of Uric Acidsemia will refuse to yield to any form of medication, even to still lithia water ; then think of Sparkling Londonderry. It will immediately remove the attendant gastro-duodenitis, stimulate the digestive tract, and a cure is effected. Then the good offices of the physician are wisely used in the way of prophylaxis. A sparkling lithia ivater that is more palatable than any so-called " table water" is an ever-present and ever-pleasant guardian against the invasions of Uric Acid if used regularly at table. No physician without "wheels" denies the great superiority of natural lithia waters over all others. No dealer of consequence denies that Lon- donderry is the ivater of ivaters most prescribed and used. What remains to be said ? Simply this : not to use and prescribe Londonderry, which is always available either carbonated or non-carbonated, is to lose to yourself and your patients the advantage of a valu- able " natural compound" which is recognized by your brother physician and his patients as invaluable in cases of GouT, Rheumatism, Gravel and Acidity in all its manifestations. Note.— Londonderry Lithia has never been known to pull teeth or perform any other impossible feats, but we still believe \\. to be the most powerful solvent before the profession and stand ready to make a demonstration in any clinic free of charge.

Baltimore, the chief city of Maryland and seventh in point of population in the United States, is situ- ated at the head of tidewater and navigation on the Patapsco river, about fifteen miles from Chesapeake Bay. It is 39 miles from Washington City and 97 miles from Philadelphia. Two trunk lines of rail- way connecting the latter cities pass through Balti- more. The city covers an area of 3i-| square miles, or about 20,000 acres. Its length from east to west is 4^ miles, while its breadth is 3^ miles from north to south. The surface of the city is somewhat irregular, yet it is not hilly. The street grades are not difificult or particularly noticeable. Jones Falls, a small stream which rises about twenty miles to the north, flows entirely through the city, dividing it into two equal parts. Along its banks are massive granite walls, while elegant bridges span it at numerous points along its course. It runs from northwest to south- east and empties into the northwest branch of the Patapsco river near the center of the city. The sec- tion northeast of Jones Falls is known as Old Town, and represents the original corporate limits of the city. The south and southeast ends of this section are known as Fell's Point and Canton, respectively, and here are found extensive wharves, canneries and various factories. The southwest section is chiefly occupied by foreigners. West of the Fahs is Lo- cust Point, an irregular strip extending to the south- east, with Fort McHenry on its extreme point. Pratt street forms the northern Hmit of the harbor. Here is found the wholesale section of the city. On every hand large wholesale business houses, ware- houses and other evidences of mercantile life and activity on a large scale may be seen. Three blocks away is Baltimore street, devoted largely to both wholesale and retail trade. Further on, and a little to the westward, are the great retail establishments, or more properly speaking, the shopping districts. Beyond these, and further northward, are found the fashionable residence sections and promenades. In this, the northwestern section of the city, dwell a large percentage of Baltimore's most substantial citi- zens. The houses throughout Baltimore are numbered on the decimal plan, each block marking the begin- ning of a new hundred. YOUR FIRST ARRIVAL IN BALTIIVIORE. The visitor to Baltimore will arrive at Union Sta- tion, on North Charles street, or at Camden Station, on Camden street, near Howard, if he has come by rail. The former is the terminal station of the Penn- sylvania Railroad; the latter of the Baltimore and Ohio. The trains of the Northern Central, the Phil- adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, the Baltimore and Potomac and the Western .Maryland railroads 2 also run into Union Station. While the main depot of the Western Maryland is on Hillen street, it also has other stations on Pennsylvania and on Fulton avenues. On North avenue is located the station of the Baltimore and Lehigh, a narrow-gauge road coming in from Long Green, York and points in Pennsylvania. The Northern Central has a station of its own on Calvert street. Travelers reaching the city from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, from Philadelphia, Savannah, Boston and other points by steamer, land at wharves on Light street and adjacent water-front in the heart of the city. European steamers land at Locust Point, crossing by ferry to foot of Broadway. The visitor, whether arriving by boat or rail, will experience no inconvenience whatever in reaching almost any point in the city by street car. In fact, the street car system of Baltimore will compare fav- orably, in point of equipment and completeness, with that of any other city in the United States, and it af- fords rapid and easy access to every section. The fare on all the lines is only five cents for adults and three cents for children; there are no horse cars in the city, the motive power being the cable or the trolley. Transfer tickets may be obtained on many of the most important lines, thus enabling the pas- senger to travel the entire length or breadth of the city, in many instances, for only one fare. Those who prefer to indulge in the luxury of cab, coupe or carriage will always find such vehicles within easy call upon the arrival of train or boat. They may also be summoned from a central office by telephone call from nearest hotel or drug-store. While the charges for vehicles are regulated by the Board of Police Commissioners, still it is best to agree on amount to be paid before beginning a ride. The following are the established CAB RATES.

The HOTEL REXNERT is a finely appointed house, located on the corner of Saratoga and Liberty streets, near the center of the city. Nearby, on the corner of Charles and Centre streets, and within a stone's throw of the Peabody Institute, is the ST. JAMES.

Baltimore, named in honor of Lord Baltimore, the founder of the Maryland Colony, was founded early in the eighteenth century, but was not incor- porated as a city until 1796, when it had a popula- tion of about 15,000. Early settlers saw the importance of building a city at the head of the Chesapeake Bay, but older towns than the straggling settlement of Baltimore had claims that could not be entirely ignored. These 10 were Joppa, the county-seat, Elk Landing and An- napolis. About the middle of 1729 the first petition praying for the erection of a town at this point was presented to the Provincial Assembly. The bill was quickly passed, and the history of Baltimore dates from that year. The growth of the new town was slow and uncertain. As late as 1750 it contained only two hundred houses and had a population of about two hundred and fifty souls. It was at about this period the mercantile world began to appreciate the many advantages of the new town over its rivals. A magnificent harbor, with a minimum depth of twenty-five feet of water,, numerous mill streams, rich iron deposits, and ready access to good agricul- tural sections, soon enabled Baltimore to forge ahead of her rivals. The courthouse and prison were trans- ferred from Joppa to Baltimore in 1768. From this time forward the growth of the town was steady and rapid. In twenty-five years, from 1750 to 1775, the population increased from 200 to 7,000. Commerce increased proportionately. But there was a tempor- ary stoppage in the growth and prosperity of the town at this period on account of the Revolutionary War. Foreign commerce was suspended, and dur- ing the conflict the harbor was entirely deserted by foreign ships. This served to stimulate home manu- factures and shipping, and soon after the suspension of hostilities local merchants engaged in the carry- ing trade, and soon Baltimore ships were to be seen in every port of the civilized world. This spirit of enterprise was noted and appreciated by the world of commerce, and resulted in a more rapid develop- ment of the place than ever before in its history. In 11 1797 Baltimore became a city, with a population of about 20,000/'' Baltimore was the scene of some exciting events during the war of 181 2. The city was successfully defended against attacks by land and water (see '' Fort McHenry "), and even succeeded, through the medium of blockade-running, in maintaining a large proportion of foreign trade. The history of the half century following the war of 181 2 was uneventful. The city grew steadily and rapidly from that period up to the breaking out of the Civil War. Occupy- ing a kind of half-way ground, cut off from the South and West, Baltimore remained at a standstill during that terrible conflict; but when hostilities ceased and peace was restored she soon regained her former position in the commercial world and en- tered upon an era of prosperity which she still enjoys and will continue to enjoy for all time to come. POPULATION AND COMMERCE. The population of Baltimore is nearly 500,000. Of this number about one-sixth are colored, while one-fifth are of foreign birth. The voting popula- tion is about 120,000. Politically, the city is almost equally divided. The City Council at present stands: Democrats, 10; Republicans, 12. The Mayor, Hon. Ferdinand C. Latrobe, is a Democrat. The com- merce of Baltimore is extensive and diversified. In 1894 her exports were as follows: 245,000 cases of canned goods, 65,000 hogsheads of tobacco, 120,000 * An association was formed in 1894 to hold an exposi- tion in Baltimore from May 15 to November 15, 1897, to celebrate the 100 years of corporate existence of the city. 12 bushels of cloverseed, 206,000 bales of cotton, 122,- 000 tons of coal, 112,000 barrels of rosin, 61,000 head of cattle, 42,000,000 gallons of petroleum, 68,- 000,000 pounds of lard, 1,500,000 staves, 31,000,000 feet of lumber, 68,000 logs, 80,000 barrels of whis- key, 3000 tons of hay, 18,000 tons of oilseed cakes, 47,000 sheep and 200 horses. Her imports were 427,000 dozen pineapples, 88,000 tons of iron ore, 966,000 boxes of tinplate, 25,000 sacks of salt, 4,000 tons of salt, 135,000 bushels of salt, 220,000 packages of chemicals, 37,000 tons of manure salt, 45,000 bags of rice, 214,000 bags of coffee, 245,000 casks of ce- ment, 14,000 barrels of whiskey, 1,000,000 bunches of bananas, 2,500,000 cocoanuts, 12,000 bags nitrate of soda, 50,000 bags of phosphate, 22,000 bags of sugar, 15,000 tons of brimstone, 100 cases of sugar, 73,000 bags of linseed, 16,000 rolls of matting. The receipts of grain and flour were: Flour, 3,800,000 barrels; wheat, 9,000,000 bushels; corn, 9,500,000 bushels; oats, 2,000,000 bushels; rye, 259,000 bush- els; barley and malt, 700,000 bushels; cloverseed, 212,000 bushels; timothy, 63,000 bushels; while the exports of same were; Flour, 3,000,000 barrels; wheat, 8,500,000 bushels; corn, 7,500,000 bushels; oats, 50 bushels; rye, none; barley and malt, none; cloverseed, 135,000 bushels, and timothy, 18,500 bushels. BANKS. Baltimore has twenty-two national and four State banks. The following figures show the condition, resources and business of these banks: National banks, capital, $13,243,600; surplus and undivided 13 profits, $6,013,400; loans and discounts, $32,708,- 400; deposits, $31,560,000. State banks: Capital, $1,075,000; surplus and undivided profits, $377,476; loans and discounts, $2,628,300; deposits, $2,020,120. Bank clearances in 1894 amounted to $673,443,512. MANUFACTURES AND TRADE. Baltimore is regarded by shrewd merchants as one of the very best markets in the United States in which to buy clothing. In fact, the competition be- tween this city and the large Eastern cities is very strong. The number of manufacturers of clothing here in 1894 was 41, with a capital of $6,000,000. Their total output was estimated at $10,000,000. The shoe and leather trade amounts to $22,000,- 000 annually. There are eight hat manufacturers, employing 1,200 hands and a capital of $750,000. •Their output is $2,225,000. The wholesale dry goods in 1894 amounted to $3,000,000, while the sale of notions for that year reached $10,000,000. BUSINESS OF THE POSTOFFICE. The total receipts of the Baltimore Postoffice for 1894 were $814,904, being an increase of $14,000 over the preceding year. A total of 100,000,000 pieces of mail matter, weighing 3,837,000 pounds, was handled. TAXES AND DEBT. The total tax rate of Baltimore is $1,873 per one hundred on assessed valuation of property. This 14 covers State, county and municipal taxes. The total debt of the city of Baltimore is $31,135,000. Available assets, $13,232,250, leaving a total net in- debtedness of about $18,000,000. This debt is be- ing largely decreased each year. The death-rate of the city is about 2 per cent. HOW TO SEE BALTIMORE. It is difficult to prescribe or suggest any general plan by which all the points and places in Baltimore may be seen within a specified time. Of course much depends on the tastes of the visitor. In the first place time may be saved and trouble avoided by carefully studying the map which may be found in another part of this book. This enables one to fix in the mind the general topography of the city. A bird's-eye view which may be obtained from the top of the Washington Monument or the Hotel Ren- nert will also contribute greatly toward a knowledge pf the general plan of the city and its environs. The Washington Monument is a good starting- point if you wish to find places, etc., of special in- terest. Walk out Mt. Vernon Place and Monument street to Eutaw street, then take the Madison avenue cable car to North avenue, where you should get off and walk over to Eutaw Place and down across the square to Dolphin street. Then return to Mc- Mechen street, and travel eastward to Charles street. Take the blue-line car and ride south to Calvert and Lexington streets. Here you will see Battle Monu- ment, the Court Buildings, Equitable Building, Law Building^ City Hall and Postofifice. Go down to 15 Baltimore street via North, and walk thence west- ward to the starting-point. If you wish to visit the shopping and retail center of the city, from the Washington Monument you will walk down Charles street to Lexington street, traverse the latter westwardly to Eutaw street; walk along Eutaw to Fayette street, then follow Fayette to the westward two blocks to Westminster church, the burial-place of Edgar Allan Poe. Turn up to Lexington street, and go eastward through Lexing- ton market to Eutaw street, thence north to i\Ionu- ment. By this time you have seen the busiest part of the city. You have seen stores, shops, markets and every variety of retail mercantile life in a busy city. The Peabody Institute, with its library and art col- lection, is always interesting to the visitor. After you have finished a leisurely inspection here, go over to the Johns Hopkins University and take a look at its various buildings — the administration building, library building, chemical laboratory, biological la- boratory, Levering Hall, the gymnasium and the physical laboratory. You can secure a guide at the registrar's ofBce. From here walk down Howard street to Mulberry, thence to the Pratt Free Li- brary. Immediately beyond the latter you will find the Cathedral. The Y.'m. C. A. building is on the corner of Saratoga and Charles streets. A stone's throw below this is the home of the Maryland His- torical Society, containing much of interest. If you wish to visit the Woman's College, take the Charles street or Maryland avenue cars. If you want to see some of Baltimore's shipping, go down 16 Charles street to Pratt, thence east to Light street. Walk along the wharves as far as Marsh ^Market Space. Step over to Baltimore street and take the Broadway cable car to its terminus, where you will find many large industries, such as canning fac- tories, stove foundries, fruit exchanges, pottery works, dry docks, etc. You can take the ferry at the foot of Broadway over to Locust Point, where you will find the large grain elevators of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Xearby are many foreign steamers, the emigrant offices and the Columbian Iron Works. From the original starting-point, if you wish to visit Druid Hill Park, take the ^Madison avenue cable car. You can spend several hours very pleas- antly strolling about the park, visiting the Maryland House, zoological collection, dromedaries, lakes, sea lions, ending up at the Druid Hill avenue en- trance. A block away from this entrance you will find the Traction power-house. Then take the Gil- mor street cable car to Patterson Park. En route you will pass Harlem Park, Franklin Square and the City Springs. You can spend an afternoon quite profitably in a visit to the Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, which is reached via the Aisquith or Centre street cars. This trip should be made on Wednes- day afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock, when the institu- tion is regularly open to visitors. Walters Art Gal- lery should be visited on the same afternoon in Feb- ruary and jMarch, and on Wednesdays and Satur- days in April; also on February 22d and on Easter Sunday. A small admission fee is charged at Wal- ters. If you wish to see something of Baltimore's sub- urbs, take the electric car at the Druid Hill Park ter- minus of the Traction line to Pikesville, where you will find the old Arsenal, used now as a Confederate Soldiers' Home. Or, you may take a Northern Central train at the Calvert station and go out to VVoodberry, which is a very busy little town. Or, you can take a train at the Baltimore and Lehigh station on North avenue and ride out to Loch Raven, one of the sources of the city's water supply. Trains leave the Northern Central Railroad on Calvert street every half hour for Sparrow's Point, where the extensive plant of the Pennsylvania Steel Co. is located. This is an interesting place to visit. If you wish to get a fine view of the harbor and shipping, visit Federal Hill, taking the Calvert street car south to ^Montgomery street. The same car will also carry you to Ferry Bar, a favorite water resort of the city. An electric car runs from the latter place to Curtis Bay, a thriving suburb, at which a large sugar refinery and several extensive foundries and machine shops are located. FORT MCHENRY. The most interesting place in Baltimore for the student of history is Fort McHenry, which may be reached by taking the Traction cable car at the cor- ner of Paca and Fayette streets. You take the Howard street cars to this starting-point. On September 12, 1894, the looth anniversary was celebrated of the transfer of the defenses erected on Whetstone Point, now Fort McHenry, by the 18 State of Alaryland to the United States government. The celebration took place at Fort ]\IcHenry, under the auspices of the Society of the \\'ar of 1812. Fort ■McHenry's chief claim to fame is that it suc- cessfully defended Baltimore from the attack of the British fleet in 1814, and gave to Francis Scott Key the inspiration for the anthem, " The Star-Spangled Banner." Upon the commencement of the Revolution, the importance of Whetstone Point for the defense of Baltimore was appreciated, and in 1775 preparations were made to fortify it. The fortifications were be- gun in 1776, and as the Revolution progressed they were strengthened. Until 1793 the fortifications re- mained exclusively under the control of the State of Maryland, but in consequence of the apprehension entertained at the time of another conflict with Great Britain, they were put at the disposal of the Federal government by the Maryland legislature. A public subscription was taken up in Baltimore in 1799, and with the money thus raised and $20,000 appropri- ated by the government, a fort of brickwork was erected, and was subsequently called Fort McHenry, in honor of James McHenry, of Baltimore, who was the first Secretary of War under President Washing- ton. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. GOVERN^MENT. — The municipal government of Baltimore is vested in a ]\Iayor, elected every two years, and a City Council of two Branches, chosen from the wards into which the city is divided. The First Branch consists of one member from each 19 CITY HALL. ward, elected annually; the Second, of one member from every two wards in the city, elected every two years. A three-fourths vote of the council is neces- sary to override the mayor's veto. The important departments of the city govern- ment are as follows: A Tax Department, under a City Collector, together with an Appeal Tax Court, consisting of three judges and subordinates, to as- sess all unreturned property and to make alterations in assessments on appeal or as they may see fit; a Register's office, wdiich has charge of the moneys and securities of the corporation; and a Comptrol- ler's office. The Finance Department, consisting of the mayor and two citizens — the latter being ap- pointed by the mayor and serving without salary — have the care of the public debt of the city, its invest- ments and finances in general. All municipal liti- gation is in charge of a Law Department, consisting of a City Counselor, a City Solicitor, an Examiner of Titles, and a City Attorney. A City Commis- sioner, aided by several assistants, looks after the paving of streets and the construction and repair of sewers. There are also an Inspector of Public Buildings, Commissioners for Opening Streets, Street Cleaning Commissioners, Harbor Board, Park Commissioners, Water Department, School Board, and Board of Fire Commissioners. CITY HALL. — This is a beautiful building, situ- ated almost in the center of the city, occupying the entire block surrounded by Fayette, North, Lexing- ton and Holliday streets. It was completed in Oc- tober, 1875, at a total cost of $2,375,000. The building consists of a center structure four stories 21 high, with two lateral wings of three stories. The distance from the ground to the top ot the dome is 227 feet. The town bell, weighing two and a half tons, hangs above a projecting balcony near the top. The various city or municipal ofhces are gathered together in the City Hall. The City Library, con- taining several thousand volumes of municipal and public documents, and also the elegantly furnished chambers of the two Branches of the City Council, are situated on the second floor. There are en- trances on all four sides of the building. FIRE DEPARTMENT.— Baltimore has had a paid fire department since 1858. It is under the control of a Board of Fire Commissioners, consist- ing of three citizens, with the Mayor, who is an ex officio member. The working force of the depart- ment is divided into two groups: one consists of men always on duty; the other of men who pursue other occupations during the daytime, but who are required to be at the engine house during the night. If a fireman loses his life in the discharge of his duty his family receive $1,000; $500 from the city and an equal amount from an insurance fund effected and maintained by the Board of Commissioners. The equipment of the fire department is as follows: One fire-boat, 15 engine companies, 9 hook and ladder companies and 7 chemical engines. The force of men employed consists of 223 permanent members and 51 call members. A salvage corps, supported by the board of underwriters, cooperates most heart- ily with the Fire Department in all emergencies. POLICE DEPARTMENT.— The present most efficient police system was inaugurated in i860, when the control of the force was taken out of the hands of municipal officials and vested in a Board of Police Commissioners, consisting of " three sober and discreet persons," who are appointed by the State Legislature, one at each biennial session, for a period of six years. They each give a bond of $io,- ooo, and receive a salary of $2,500 per annum. The force proper consists of a marshal, a deputy marshal, 8 captains, 6 lieutenants, 10 detectives, 84 sergeants and 640 patrolmen. The city is divided into seven districts for police purposes. Each district has its own station house, a strong building of brick, with stone trimmings. Each of these buildings is in charge of a captain and is always open to visitors. A most excellent police alarm and patrol system is an important auxiliary to the police department. The outlying and sparsely settled portions of the city are patrolled by mounted policemen. WATER SUPPLY.— Baltimore's water supply is calculated to be sufficient to supply a population of a million or more. It comes from the Gunpowder river and Jones Falls. There are six reservoirs, while more than 225 miles of pipes run beneath the city's streets and supply about 50,000 houses, 1500 hydrants and 15,000 baths. The entire system cost about $10,000,000. Their daily capacity is 165 mil- lions of gallons. These reservoirs are all situated within seven miles of the city. Loch Raven, the largest, is four and three-quarter miles long and from one hundred to eight hundred feet in width. The water from here is carried through a conduit twelve-foot tunnel to Lake iMontebello, a receiving reservoir of 500 millions of gallons capacity. Lake 23 Clifton is also a large storage reservoir, situated up- on a part of the old Johns Hopkins estate just be- yond the old city limits. Six forty-inch distributing mains bring the water to the distributing mains in the city. HEALTH DEPART.AIENT.— The Commis- sioner of Health is appointed annually by the Mayor and his appointment is confirmed by the City Coun- cil. The sanitary affairs of the city are in his hands. He superintends the cleaning of sewers, the abate- ment of nuisances and the work of vaccine physi- cians, and has much to do with the quarantine regu- lations of the city. Upon extraordinary occasions the power of the Health Department is almost unlimited. A depart- ment of Vital Statistics maintains a mortuary regis- ter and issues weekly reports. The City Morgue is a neat two-story building, located at the. foot of President street, and fitted with all modern conve- niences. MEDICAL COLLEGES. In 1809 the first medical college in Baltimore was established. In that year the College of Medicine of ^Maryland was chartered by the Legislature of Maryland and began teaching here. It was made one of the branches of the University of ^Maryland four years later. The Washington ^Medical College was organized in 1833. It was first located in a building on Hol- liday street, opposite the old City Hall. It after- wards erected a building of its own on Broadway, which is now occupied by the Church Home. Later 25 it removed to the corner of Lombard and Hanover streets. Bad management led to the closing up of the institution in 1851. The college was reorgan- ized and started anew in 1867 in a building on the northeast corner of Saratoga and Calvert streets. Differences in the faculty of the Washington INIedi- cal College in 1872 led to a split, and the dissenting wing organized the College of Physicians and Sur- geons. The first course of lectures in the new school was attended by only twenty-five students, but it grew rapidly, and in 1877 absorbed the older institution. The College of Physicians and Sur- geons now occupies a handsome modern building located at the corner of Saratoga and Calvert streets. The faculty consists of eleven professors and four- teen assistants. The college has exclusive control over the Baltimore City Hospital, whose new build- ing adjoins its own, and over the Maryland Lying-in Asylum. It also has the privilege of Bay \^iew Asylum, Hebrew Hospital, Children's Nursery and Hospital, and several other institutions. The Baltimore Medical College is located on Howard street above Madison. It was organized in 1881, and has entire control of the Maryland Gen- eral Hospital on Linden avenue, including its Ly- ing-in and its Eye and Ear departments. It has a faculty of eleven professors and nine assistants. The Baltimore University was founded in 1884 by former members of the Baltimore Medical College. It is a school of medicine, with dental, veterinary and law departments. The Woman's Medical College was organized in 1882. The Hospital of the Good Samaritan is un- 26 der its control. Its faculty is made up of twelve professors and many assistants. The establishment of this school has had much to do with the admis- sion of female students to the Johns Hopkins Uni- versity Medical School. DENTAL COLLEGE. The Baltimore Dental College was the first den- tal college organized in the world. It was duly chartered by the State Legislature, and has enjoyed unusual prosperity from its beginning up to the present. It was first established on Sharp street, between Lombard and Pratt. After several removals it finally settled on the corner of Eutaw and Franklin streets, where it is at present located. It is thoroughly equipped for its purposes. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. The ^Maryland College of Pharmacy, located on the corner of Fayette and Aisquith streets, was es- tablished in 1840, and is one of the oldest institu- tions of its kind in America. Its graduates are found in every State and Territory of the L^nited States, and its diploma is universally recognized as a guaranty of the thorough qualification of its holder. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN GENERAL. Baltimore has long held a high rank as an educa- tional center. Free instruction in primary, secon- dary, collegiate and normal studies is provided by a 27 graded system of public schools. In this city was established the first manual training school to be maintained as a part of a public school system. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.— As early as 1827 an or- dinance was adopted by the City Council creating a Board of Commissioners of Public Schools in Bal- timore, and two years later the first school was opened, and the system has steadily developed and expanded. There are primary, grammar and high schools or colleges. Separate schools are provided males and females and for colored children. There are about 60,000 children and 1400 teachers. The school buildings are handsome, substantial structures. The schools are entirely free, supplies and text-books being provided free of expense. The entire system is in the hands of a Board of School Commissioners who serve without salary. The cost of maintaining the schools is about one million dollars a year. The Baltimore Manual Training School is a part of the public school system, and was the first of its kind established in the United States. It has been eminently successful, and its methods have been copied by similar institutions throughout this coun- try. It is located on Courtland street, near Sara- toga, and is well worth a visit. A similar school for colored people has been recently established on Fremont street, near Lombard. The State Normal School is located on the corner of Lafayette and Carrollton avenues. It is designed for the training of teachers of both sexes. The in- stitution is splendidly equipped for its work, and its graduates are well qualified as teachers. Each 28 county in the State is entitled to send two students for each representative in the General Assembly. Other pupils, to a limited number, are received on payment of tuition fees. The University of Maryland is situated at the cor- ner of Greene and Lombard streets. It was founded as a medical school in 1807, being the fifth in point of age in the United States. It has had many ups and downs during its existence of almost a century. Its founders purchased a library out of their private funds. The late Civil War interfered seriously in the work of the institution. But it has always been a progressive school. It was the first to lengthen Its course to six months and to make dissection compulsory. It was also among the first to estab- lish a special department for diseases of women and children. In 1890 it established a training school for nurses. As early as 181 2 it created faculties of divinity, law, and arts and sciences, but of these law only remains. This department now occupies a building of its own on Lombard street adjoining the medical college. It has seven professors and about one hundred students. A dental school was founded in 1882, and now occupies a building adjacent to the university on Greene street, and has about one hun- dred and fifty students annually. JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY. This institution is located in the very heart of the city on a block bounded by How^ard, Eutaw, Monu- ment and Little Ross streets. The Madison, Mary- land and Linden avenues cars pass it, while the 29 Druid Hill and Edmondson avenues lines are only a block away. The present location of the univer- sity was at first intended to be temporary, the inten- tion of the founder being to have it located ulti- mately at Clifton, his suburban country seat. The original buildings have been added to from time to time until they now constitute one of the most thor- oughly equipped institutions of its kind in the world. It has no dormitories; its non-resident students live in boarding houses in the vicinity. FOUXDATION.— The Johns Hopkins Univer- sity owes its foundation to the liberality of the Balti- more merchant whose name it bears. He died at the advanced age of eighty, in 1873, leaving a large fortune, which he gave in nearly two equal amounts for the endowment of a university and a hospital. He directed that when the latter was completed it should become a part of the medical school of the university. The university was incorporated under the general laws of the State of Maryland in 1867. Three years later the trustees met and organized, but they did not meet again until after the death of ]\Ir. Hopkins. The work of instruction was begun in the autumn of 1876. BUILDINGS. — These are as follows: A central building, in which are the offices of administration and the class-rooms for ancient languages. Directly west is a building containing the general library of the university and a large lecture-room for chemis- try. Beyond this, to the west, is the chemical labor- atory, and still further in that direction is the bio- logical laboratory, a three-story building. North of the main group of buildings stand the gymnasium 31 and Levering- Hall. The latter was erected for the Y. M. C. A. of the university. Still further north is the physical laboratory, in which are found the de- partments of physics, mathematics, electrical engi- neering and astronomy. Several dwelling-houses in the neighborhood are also used for class-rooms and for the laboratories in mineralogy and geology. McCoy Hall, a new building for the librarv and for the class-rooms for the literary departments, is on the corner of Garden and Monument streets, extend- ing in a southerly direction to Little Ross street. The library of the university contains upwards of 60,000 volumes. CHEMICAL LABORATORY.-This is one of the most thoroughly equipped laboratories in the world. It was opened in 1877, but it had to be en- larged six years later to accommodate the large number of students who sought to avail themselves of Its privileges and instruction. BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.-The Biolog- ical Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins Universitv enjoys a world-wide reputation. It has no equal in America. Its equipment is the very best that can be obtained, while its teachers are masters in their work. Students from every section of the United states are constantly in attendance here PHYSICAL LABORATORY.-The building occupied by this laboratory is the most imposing of all the structures devoted to the sciences. Its equipment is superb. Levering Hall, the home of tne Y. M. C. A. of the university, and McCoy Hall are both imposing structures and most admirably arranged for the purposes to which they are de- 32 voted. The various departments are largely at- tended by students from all over the United States. There are about 70 teachers on the academic staff of the university, while quite a number of advanced students conduct classes in various departments. The baccalaureate, the doctor of philosophy and bachelor of arts degrees are conferred here. WOMAN'S COLLEGE. The buildings of the Woman's College are lo- cated on St. Paul street in the northern part of the city. They consist of Goucher Hall, containing over forty class-rooms, laboratories and offices of administration; an Instruction Hall, and Bennett Hall, the latter containing the gymnasium, baths and swimming pool. The College Home is a large brick l^uilding, a block east, at the corner of Fourth and Calvert streets, while a similar or second '' home " building is located a block to the westward on the corner of Fourth and Charles streets. The Woman's College was projected by the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1884, and was incorporated under the general law of Maryland in the following year. Its doors were opened to stu- dents in the latter part of 1888. Its charter was amended and its powers enlarged in 1890. In this year the Girls' Latin School was organized as a pre- paratory department of the college, with its own principal, faculty and building. The college has a large patronage; its students coming from all sec- tions. Goucher Hall, a massive granite structure, and the ground on which it stands, was the gift of the Rev. John F. Goucher. 33 Bennett Memorial Hall is the college gymnasium. It is of granite, two stories high, and was the gift of Mr. B. F. Bennett, of Baltimore, who dedicated it to the memory of his wife. It is thoroughly fitted up with all the requisites of a modern gymnasium, and is in charge of a full professor, a regularly educated physician. The Swedish system of training is in vogue here. The College Homes were planned with careful at- tention to the wants of the students who were to oc~ cupy them. They are duplicates of each other, four stories high, and contain rooms for sixty-five stu- dents. The buildings are wholly devoted to pur- poses of residence. They have elevators, sanitary plumbing, thorough ventilation, splendid fire es- capes and all other modern appliances and equip- ment. The kitchen and dining-room are on the top floors, thus securing immunity from disagreeable odors. Religious services are held in the chapel of the First M. E. Church, which is connected with Goucher Hall by a bridge. SAINT MARY'S SEMINARY OF ST. SULPICE. •This is the oldest Catholic theological seminary in the United States. It . is located on the square bounded by Paca and St. Mary's streets and Druid Hill and Pennsylvania avenues. The buildings are large and imposing and are surrounded by spacious grounds, the whole surrounded by a high fence. The seminary was founded in 1791 by a little band of Sulpicians, headed by Father Nagot, who came over from Paris. At first it was devoted entirely to theological training, but later a second school or 36 academy, known as St. Mary's College, was opened for secular education. This institution grew rapidly in numbers, and its reputation spread abroad. The power of conferring degrees was granted it in 1805. For many years the college flourished and exercised a most important educational influence upon the community. The general college department was closed in 1852, the Sulpicians never having forgot- ten the prime purpose of their institution. In 1877 the first part of the present building was occupied. Additions have been made from time to time, until now the whole presents an imposing appearance. The Third Plenary Council held its sessions here in 1884. The Centennial celebration of the founding of the institution took place in 1891. MCDONOGH FARM SCHOOL This school is a farm of 835 acres, located on the Western Maryland Railroad beyond the city limits. It owes its existence to the liberality of John Mc- Donogh, a wealthy merchant of Baltimore, who left a liberal endowment for its establishment and support. It accommodates about 100 boys, and is, in a great measure, self-sustaining. HOSPITALS AND HOMES. Generous provision is made for the care of the sick, needy and infirm of this city. A sum approxi- mating $400,000 is annually appropriated for this purpose. THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL.— While this is not the largest, it Is perhaps the finest hospi- tal, in construction and equipment, in the world. It is easily reached by the Centre street or Aisquith street cars. Wednesday is visitors' day and the hours from 3 to 5 P. M. Guides are provided and a thor- ough inspection of the institution may be made. The hospital and grounds cover four entire blocks, con- taining some fourteen acres, with a frontage of 709 feet. The hospital was founded by the late Johns Hopkins, who left half of his large fortune in the hands of trustees for this purpose. Ground was broken in 1877, and the hospital was formally opened in 1889. An amphitheatre, a dispensary and a pathological laboratory are located on the north- east portion of the ground, near the land owned by the Johns Hopkins University, upon which the buildings of the medical department are to be erected. The foundations of the principal buildings are of a solid concrete base. The floors of all wards and rooms for the sick are of Georgia pine, thor- oughly seasoned and carefully selected. The hos- pital is heated by the " hot water system," which is quite unique. Special attention was also given to the matter of ventilation. The object aimed at in construction was to supply to each individual occu- pying the ward at least one cubic foot of fresh air per second and of such a temperature as to give rise to no feeling of discomfort. CITY HOSPITAL.— This hospital, which is un- der the medical care of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, occupies a well-equipped building on Calvert and Saratoga streets. It contains about 300 beds, 75 of which are sustained by the city. It has a separate building for the use of colored patients. The other hospitals are The Maryland University Hospital, on Lombard and Greene streets, which is under the care of the University of Maryland School of Medicine; The Maryland General Hospital, 809 Linden avenue, under care of the Baltimore Medi- cal College; The Maryland Homoeopathic Hospital, 320 N. Paca street; and St. Joseph's Hospital, corner Caroline and Hofifman streets. HOMES. — A fine building, located on the corner of Broadway and Hampstead streets, is occupied by the Church Home and Infirmary, which provides a home for sick and othenvise distressed persons be- longing to the Protestant Episcopal Church and others. A similar institution is the Home of the Aged of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the cor- ner of Fulton avenue and Franklin street. At the corner of Monument and Ann streets is the Hebrew Hospital and Asylum, which offers medical and sur- gical treatment to needy sick persons of all creeds and a permanent home for the infirm and destitute. The German Home for Aged Persons, corner Balti- more and Payson streets, offers a permanent home to aged men and women of Baltimore, without re- gard to nationality or religion. Upon payment of a small fee, varying according to age and residence, persons are received at the Aged Men's Home, cor- ner of Lexington and Calhoun streets, and at the Aged Women's Home, adjoining. ORPHAN ASYLUMS. BALTIMORE ORPHAN ASYLUM.— This is one of the oldest charitable institutions in the city, ?9 having been incorporated in 1778. It received its present name in 1846. Location, Strieker, near Lexington street. It is intended for the mainte- nance and education of orphan children of both sexes and all denominations. The children, to be admitted, must have lost one or both parents, and must be 5 years old. Males remain in the institu- tion until they are 21 years, while females are let out at 18. GERMAN ORPHAN ASYLUM.— This is lo- cated on Aisquith, near Orleans street. It is one of the most thorough and practical institutions in this country. It receives boys and girls regardless of nationality or denomination. It is in a sense a home. The children are sent to the public schools. At age of 14 boys are bound out to learn trades. Girls are taught sewing, cooking, housework and laundry work. At about 14 years of age homes or situations as domestics are found for them. THE THOMAS WILSON SANITARIUM was founded by the philanthropist whose name it bears. It is located just outside the city on the Western Maryland Railroad, and is a summer retreat for the sick children of the poor. Colored as well as white children are provided for. Other similar institutions are : St. Vincent's Infant Asylum, corner Townsend and Division streets, un- der charge of the Sisters of Charity; The Hebrew Orphan Asylum, on Calverton Heights; The Home of the Friendless, corner Druid Hill avenue and Townsend street; The Nursery and Child's Hospital, on Franklin and Schroeder streets; The Garrett Sanitarium for Children, at Mt.

THE MARYLAND HOSPITAL FOR IN- SANE. — This institution, which is sustained by State, city and county appropriations, is located at Spring Grove, near Catonsville, a suburb of the city. The hospital buildings are surrounded by 135 acres of ground, and are among the most complete in the world. It is controlled by a board of managers ap- pointed by the Governor. The present site was pur- chased and the buildings erected in 1852. MOUNT HOPE RETREAT.— This also is situ- ated quite a distance from the business part of the city. It is under the management of the Sisters o^" Charity and gets some support from the county and city of Baltimore. THE SHEPPARD ASYLUM.— This is one of the most notable institutions in America, It was founded by the late ]\Ioses Sheppard, of Baltimore, whose bequest has reached $700,000. It is doing a o-reat and noble work. & RELIEF ASSOCIATIONS. THE CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCI- ETY is a general directory of the charities of the city, looking to the organization of charity and not for its distribution. Its central office is in the Wil- son building, corner Charles and Saratoga streets. The city is divided into seven districts, each with its society headquarters and trained agents. The so- 41 ciety has been a powerful factor in social relief and reclamation since its organization in 1881. The in- troduction of the Provident Savings Bank, with a system of stamp deposits, is one of the works of the society. THE BALTIMORE ASSOCIATION FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE POOR was organized in 1849 ^^^ the pur- pose of giving assistance to the worthy poor of the city. Such assistance is rendered only after a care- ful investigation in each case. It is supported main^ ly by the dues of its two thousand members. The receipts from the Walters Art Gallery also go intc its treasury. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, the Hebrew Benevolent Society, the Thomas Wilson Fuel-Sav- ing Society, and the Golden Book Fund of the Charity Organization Society are smaller, but are engaged in a similar work. LIBRARIES. ENOCH PRATT FREE LIBRARY.— This, one of the largest institutions of its kind in America, owes its existence to the generosity of Enoch Pratt, who was born in Massachusetts, but became a mer- chant in Baltimore in 183 1. He gave upwards of a million dollars to be used for the purpose. The city created an annuity of $50,000, in perpetuity, for the support of the library and its branches. The Central Building is on Mulberry street, near Cathe- dral. There are five branch libraries, located as fol- lows: Corner Fremont and Pitcher streets, corner 42 Hollins and Calhoun streets, corner Light and Git- tings streets, corner Canton and O'Donnell streets, and corner Broadway and Miller street. The main or central building holds about 200,000 volumes, while each branch library accommodates 20,000 volumes. The central library is open daily from 9 A. M. to 10 P. M., except Sunday; the branches from 2 P. M. to 9 P. M. The New Mercantile Library, on Charles near Saratoga streets, is a private library and reading- room. The librar}^ of the Baltimore Bar, which is sup- ported by the lawyers of the city, is in the court- house. The Library of Medical and Surgical Works is the property of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland. The Library of the Odd Fellows Association con- tains about 20,000 volumes. The Methodist Historical Society owns a large and valuable collection of books, which are kept in the Woman's College. ART AND SCIENCE. PEABODY INSTITUTE.— This magnificent in- stitution was endowed by George Peabody, who at the time was a resident of London. He was born at South Danvers, Mass., in 1795, of poor parents. He became a merchant in Ijaltimore in 1814, where he laid the foundation of a large fortune. Later he became a banker in London. During his residence in Baltimore he formed a strong friendship for the 44 people of the city, and this feeling" prompted him to the establishment of the great institution which bears his name. He first placed $300,000 at the dis- posal of twenty-five gentlemen of Baltimore, which sum was to secure a site and erect a building. Sub- sequently he increased this sum to a million and a quarter dollars. The institution was to include a school of lectures, an academy of music and a sys- tem of premiums to the high schools of the city. A site was selected on Mt. Vernon Place, near the Washington monument, and the corner-stone was laid in 1859. ^t was completed in 1861, but the library was not formally opened to the public until 1866, at which time Mr. Peabody, the founder, was present. From this time on the institute was in full operation. The library was open to the public from 9 to 4 daily, except Sunday. Courses of lectures were delivered during the fall and winter, public musical concerts were given, and money and gold medals were annually conferred upon the most dis- tinguished graduates of the public schools. At this time the library contained more than 20,000 volumes. In 1890 this number had been increased, mainly through the efforts of Dr. N. H. Morison, the provost, to 100,000 volumes. Additions have been made to the building from time to time, until now it presents quite an imposing appearance. The library attracts students and scholars from every- where on account of its large collection of rare books, covering almost every branch of knowledge. About 12,000 volumes are devoted to history, 1 1,000 to sciences, 5,000 to drama, essays and criticism, and perhaps 10,000 volumes to biography. The student 45 CD of fine arts, archaeology, music, Greek and Latin classics, voyages, travels, etc., will find here enough to meet all requirements. Everything is free; the rich and the poor are alike welcome. PEABODY ART GALLERY.— This is situated above the library. It contains an extensive collec- tion of antique cases, donated by the late John W. Garrett. Here are also reproductions of Renais- sance and modern art, also from Mr. Garrett. The Rinehart corridor contains the original casts of por- trait busts from the Roman studio of the distin- guished American sculptor, which were brought from Rome in 1874 and later deposited in the Insti- tute by his executors. Nearby is a case containing Rinehart's professional instruments. In the Clytie room may be seen a series of marbles and bronzes, the legacy of John W. McCoy. In the same room are Ezekiel's Head of Christ and a finely executed bust of Mr. McCoy. The picture gallery, contain- ing some of the best specimens of American art, is almost entirely the gift of Mr. McCoy. PEABODY CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. — This occupies a large part of the west wing, above the lecture hall. It is presided over by a musical director, assisted by six professors. Only advanced pupils, who have passed most critical examinations, are admitted here. WALTERS ART GALLERY.— This is con- tained in a plain, old-fashioned house situated oppo- site the Washington monument, at No. 5 Mount Vernon Place. It is undoubtedly the finest private art collection in this country. In the parlors are bronzes, cases of old silver and groups of Royal 47 Worcester, Dresden and Sevres. There is a small chamber fitted up in blue with furniture and hang- ings of the time of Marie Antoinette. Another is furnished in old Dutch style, while an upper room contains bronzes and water colors by Barye. In the dining-room rare French vases and bronzes are to be seen. In the first gallery at the rear of the house are cases of porcelains, the walls are hung with beauti- ful tapestries, while vases fashioned more than 500 years ago greet the eye. Japanese and Chinese art are both largely represented here. In the Oriental department there are some 200 bronzes, 200 objects in gold, silver, iron and copper, 150 swords, 300 sword guards and 400 other sword appliances, 500 ivory carvings and 500 lacquers, illustrating the his- tory of lacquer work for more than 700 years. Al- together this department contains upwards of 4,000 objects. Every object is the result of the ripe expe- rience of the collector. Oil Paintings. — In making his collections Mr. Walters determined to illustrate the art history of each century by examples of the work of men whose influence had been most strongly felt. And as a result there is no other collection of pictures in America that equals his in importance and interest. All the great masters are here represented. No school of art has been overlooked ; they are all here, French, Spanish, Belgian, German, English, Ameri- can — all. The gallery is open to the public at a nominal fee, the proceeds of which are devoted to the Baltimore Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor. 48 MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY.— This society occupies a substantial building, known as the Athenaeum Building, located on Saratoga street, near Charles. It was organized in 1844 for the purpose of arranging and collecting material re- lating to the early history of the State of Maryland. The society has done a great work in the way of col- lecting manuscripts, documents, volumes and pam- phlets of a historical value and interest and also works of art bearing on the same subject. The building is reached from a side entrance from Sara- toga street, and is open from 10 A. M. to 4 P. M. The first floor contains a library, reading-room and a substantial vault for storing the manuscript rec- ords of the society. The second floor contains three connecting galleries, which are said to hold the finest collection of paintings and curios in this coun- try. The central room, w^hich is the largest, con- tains about 200 paintings, some of which are quite large. Among the paintings are three Murillos, two of Rubens, a Rembrandt, landscapes by Vander- velde, Moncheron, Snoyres, and others. There are several marine views and many portraits by well- known artists. Some fine examples of statuary are also found here. The reception 100m contains a large and interesting collection of armor, busts, models, curious stones, etc. MARYLAND ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.— This body was organized in 1863 and existed for many years as an independent organization, but a few years ago it turned over to the Johns Hopkins LTniversity its extensive collection of the fauna and flora of the State, Indian relics, etc. Recently Mr. 49 Enoch Pratt purchased and presented to the society the old Maryland Club building, corner Franklin and Cathedral streets. This liberal gift infused new life into the organization, which has been reorgan- ized and is prospering. MARYLAND INSTITUTE.— This organiza- tion occupies a large granite building on the corner of Baltimore and Harrison streets. It was organ- ized in 1818 as a Mechanics Institute, but it has gradually grown, until now it has a library, night school and a school of design. The institution is largely sustained by its own membership, but it also receives an annual appropriation from the city. In return for the latter each councilman is entitled to appoint a holder of a free scholarship. CHARCOAL CLUB.— This club was organized by local artists and outsiders interested in art. It is Bohemian in character. Its headquarters are over the Provident Savings Bank, corner of Howard and Franklin streets. It is a truly unique organization, and serves to bring together and harmonize several social elements that could hardly be brought to- gether through any other agency. A day school is in active operation, while night classes meet three times a week. There is also a special or extra class on Saturdays. DECORATIVE ART SOCIETY.— The rooms of this organization are at 315 North Charles street, where an interesting display of artistic handiwork can always be seen. Two classes are maintained, one in art needlework, another in drawing and paint- ing. The price for tuition is low, and there are a number of free scholars in each class. A commis- 50 sion of 10 per cent, is charged for all sales of articles by the society. COURTS OF BALTIMORE. The courts of Baltimore are included in the eighth Judicial Circuit of the State of Maryland. The Su- preme Bench is composed of a chief judge and five associates, elected for fifteen years.

PENAL INSTITUTIONS. BALTIMORE JAIL.— This, the principal penal institution of the city, occupies six and a half acres of ground on Madison street and Jones Falls. It is built entirely of brick, stone and iron, and is sur- rounded by a stone wall eleven feet high. Therfc are five tiers, containing about 300 cells, each 8x11 feet in size. Each cell is furnished with an iron cot, a table, chair, etc. MARYLAND PENITENTIARY.— This insti- tution was first opened in 181 1. It occupies a series of massive buildings on Madison street adjacent to the jail. It is designed for reformatory purposes and its inmates are kept employed at manual labor. Prior to 1850 the prison management conducted its affairs on their own account, but at about that time they saw that the institution could no longer con- tinue successfully in independent manufacture; therefore they disposed of the labor of its inmates by contract to outside manufacturers. Within a few years the institution became self-sustaining, and has so continued up to the present time. HOUSE OF CORRECTION.— This is a State institution located near Jessups' Cut on the B. & O. R. R., sixteen miles from the city. It receives tramps, vagrants and petty offenders from the lower courts of Baltimore and elsewhere. The inmates 63 are employed mainly on a large farm surrounding the prison. It is open for inspection at all times. CITY ALMSHOUSE, or BAY VIEW ASY- LUM. — This occupies a series of buildings located on an extensive farm on the Eastern avenue road. Seven trustees, appointed by the Mayor, for two years, administer the affairs of the institution. Any sick or indigent person who has been a resident of Baltimore for six months can secure admission to the Asylum. Vagrants and tramps are committed here by the Criminal Court and by justices of the peace. The city appropriates annually about $ioo,- Goo towards its support. The City Insane Asylum forms a part of Bay View Asylum. The city also sends insane patients to the Maryland Hospital for the Insane and to Mount Hope Retreat. Minors in general are committed to the Home of the Friendless or to the Henry Watson Child- ren's Aid Society. Male minors and incorrigibles are sent to the House of Refuge and to St. Mary's Industrial School; females to the House of the Good Shepherd and to the Female House of Refuge. Col- ored children are sent to the House of Reformation for Colored Boys, at Cheltenham, and to the Indus- trial Home for Colored Girls, at Melvale, respect- ively. POSTOFFICE. The Baltimore PostofiBce is one of the finest Fed- eral buildings in the United States. It occupies the greater part of the block bounded by Lexington, Fayette, Calvert and North streets. It cost $2,000,- 000. Its construction was begun in 1881, the cor- 55 her-stone was laid in 1882, and the structure was formally dedicated in 1890. It stands on the site of what was once a sandhill, through which Fayette street was originally located. The shape of the building is a hollow parallelogram. It is built of Maine granite on massive foundations, and is four stories high. The basement is used for storage pur- poses. On the first or street floor are the general distributing quarters, lock boxes, registered letter, money order and stamp department, the ofhces of the superintendent of carriers, assistant postmaster, superintendent of city division, assistant custodian, superintendent of mails, pouching room and in- quiry department. On the second floor are the apartments of the postmaster, cashier, lighthouse engineer, inspector, collector, deputy collector, cashier and bonded clerk of the Internal Revenue- Department, U. S. ganger and local inspector of steam vessels. The third floor contains the quarters of the local Federal courts and of their offices.

Branch postofUces or sub-stations are located in various parts of the city wherever convenience may suggest. CUSTOM HOUSE. This building, quaint in appearance but of consid- erable architectural interest, is situated on the north- 56 east corner of Gay and Lombard streets. No regu- lar custom house was established in Baltimore until 1786. Duties prior to that time were collected at Joppa and Annapolis. The present custom house is inadequate to meet the demands of the constantly increasing business of Baltimore, and sooner or later it will be super- seded by a more commodious structure. The various offices of the department are located on the first floor, while above are the quarters of the Navy Paymaster, Emigration Department, Special Examiner of Pensions, Sub-Treasury and other Federal officers. UNITED STATES COURTS. The United States courts are held on the third floor of the postoffice building. The State of Mary- land is a part of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, which also embraces Virginia, West Virginia, North Caro- lina and South Carolina. The U. S. Circuit Court meets first Monday in April and November; the U. S. District Court, the first Tuesday in March, June, September and December. The Federal courts formerly occupied a building adjacent to the postoffice building, at the corner of North and Fayette streets. WEATHER BUREAU. This important branch of the national service oc- cupies quarters in the physical laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University, on Monument street and Linden avenue. It was organized in 1891 under the 57 joint auspices of the Johns Hopkins University, the Maryland Agricultural College and the United States Weather Bureau. The roof of the building is used for the expos.ure of instruments. Sub-sta- tions are located in all parts of Maryland and also in Delaware; these send reports regularly to the Balti- more Bureau.

It is now one of the largest and most sub- stantial associations in the United States. Its mem- bership is about 3,500, and it has accumulated prop- erty in Baltimore valued at more than $300,000. The present home of the organization is a mag- nificent five-storv building- on the corner of Charles and Saratoga streets.

RAILROADS. In addition to her magnificent harbor, in which ships from all parts of the world may be seen, Balti- 68 more enjoys the benefits of five broad-gauge rail- roads and one narrow-gauge railroad. BALTHIORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.-^ This road extends to Philadelphia on the east, whence by advantageous arrangements its trains run through to New York city without change. It also penetrates the vast regions of the West, Southwest and Northwest, through the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indi- ana and Illinois to the Mississippi river, with excel- lent connections beyond. The tide-water terminals of the road are at Locust Point, and cover a front- age of about one thousand feet. There freight can be transferred to or from ocean steamers and other craft with the utmost economy and facility. Three grain elevators, with a combined capacity of nearly 4,000,- 000 bushels, are located there. This road has re- cently completed an immense tunnel beneath How- ard street to facilitate the passage of its trains through the city. NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILROAD.— The road connects Baltimore with the great Pennsylvania system, thus securing a direct outlet to the North. Trains run through to New York city via Phila- delphia without change; also to Washington city. It penetrates the rich agricultural sections of Penn- sylvania and southwestern New York up to the Great Lakes, and in doing so it also taps the great iron and coal fields of the countrv' through which it passes. Its marine terminals are on the Canton side of the river, where it has great piers, two elevators, with a combined capacity of 2,500,000 bushels, and extensive facilities for handling ocean freight. The 69 BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC, extending to Washington, and the PHILADELPHIA, WIL^ MINGTON AND BALTIMORE to Philadelphia and the East, are the associated branches of the Pennsylvania system. THE WESTERN MARYLAND is a local road, extending in one direction through the beautiful val- ley of the Shenandoah into the wood, cattle and mineral regions of the South; in another, through Gettysburg into the rich Cumberland valley sec- tion of Pennsylvania. THE BALTIMORE AND LEHIGH is a nar- row-gauge road intended for local business between Baltimore and Harford counties and a small section of southern Pennsylvania. WATER TRANSPORTATION. As before stated, Baltimore has one of the finest harbors in the world, with a natural water-front of twelve miles. It affords a perfect shelter to craft of all kinds, there being no unusual ebb and flow of tide. The channel of the Patapsco river was origi- nally shallow and narrow, but through the combined efforts of municipal and Federal authorities it has been cleared to a width of 200 yards and to a depth of 27 feet in the lower harbor, 24 feet in the middle and from 17 to 19 feet in the upper part or basin. Port charges and other expenses incident to ship- ping are notoriously less here than in any other city on the Atlantic seaboard. Passenger steamships run regularly between Bal- timore and many foreign ports. 70 The NORTH GERMAN LLOYD has a fine Hne of steamers saiHng weekly for Bremen and Southampton and making the trip in about 12 days. It enjoys a large passenger travel. The ALLAN LINE sails fortnightly from this port for Liverpool, touching at Halifax. More fre- quent sailings are made in the summer months. The JOHNSON LINE handles an extensive cat- tle trade between Baltimore and Liverpool and London. The LORD LINE runs a bi-monthly service to Belfast and Dublin, while the DONALDSON LINE reaches Scotland, Ireland and northern ports of England via Glasgow. The ATLANTIC TRANSPORT LINE runs its steamers between this port and London and Swan- sea. Both the NEPTUNE LINE and the ROYAL NEDERLANDS LINE ply between Baltimore and Rotterdam. The BRISTOL CHANNEL LINE and the EM- PIRE LINE sail monthly; the former to Bristol, the latter to Leith, Scotland. The BLUE CROSS LINE pHes weekly between this port and Havre, while the PURITAN LINE sends steamers every ten days to Antwerp. The PINKNEY-FURNESS LINE transports freight to various European ports; the HOOPER LINE to Liverpool, and the HAMBURG-AMER- ICAN PACKET to Hamburg. The EARN LINE runs a series of vessels to San- tiago de Cuba and occasionally as far south as Rio de Janeiro, while the HAMMONIA LINE carries mail and freight to various Brazilian ports. The MERCHANTS AND MINERS' TRANS- PORTATION CO. runs its steamers to Boston, Savannah and Providence, R. I. The BAY LINE runs a series of elegant steamers nightly from Balti- more to Norfolk and Old Point Comfort, and the ERICSSON LINE daily boats to Philadelphia. A large fleet of vessels is engaged in trade with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. There are in all some fifty or sixty bay steamers. These range in size from 250 to 800 tons. They run daily during the summer months, but only three or four trips a week during the winter. In addition to these, there are innumerable smaller craft running into the harbor of Baltimore every day. CLUBS AND SOCIETIES. Baltimoreans are justly proud of their social clubs, which are known far and near as the embodiment of culture, hospitality and good fellowship.

The Knights of Pythias have their headquarters in Pythian Hall, 129 N. Gay street; the Improved Order of Red Men, on Paca street, near Fayette. There are also local lodges of Royal Arcanum, Inde- pendent Order of B'nai B'rith, etc. MONUMENTS. Baltimore has long been referred to as the " Mon- umental City " and the " City of Monuments." It gained this distinction mainly from having been the first to erect a substantial monument to the memory of George Washington. 79 WASHINGTON MONUMENT.— This is a graceful Doric column situated at the intersection of Mount Vernon Place and N. Charles street. Its base is 50 feet square and 24 feet high. The column itself is 164 feet high. The shaft is surmounted by a striking figure of Washington sixteen feet high and weighing sixteen and a half tons. Site, mate- rial and statue were given by citizens of Baltimore; the balance of the funds was secured by means of a lottery, authorized by the State Legislature. The corner-stone was laid in 181 5 and the monument was completed in 1829. A magnificent view of the city may be obtained by ascending to the top of the mon- ument by way of a spiral stairway leading up through its interior. A small admission is charged. COLUMBUS MONUMENT, No. i.— This, the oldest monument of any note in Baltimore, was erected to Christopher Columbus in 1792. It stands on the grounds of the Samuel Ready Orphan Asy- lum, between North avenue and the Harford road. It was erected by Chevalier d'Anmour, the first French consul in Maryland. For half a century this was the only monument in the United States to Co- lumbus. It is an obelisk, about 45 feet high, and constructed of stuccoed brick. It bears the inscrip- tion: ''Sacred to the memory of Chris. Columbus, Octob. XII, MDCCXCII." ' COLUMBUS MONUMENT, No. 2.— This mon- ument, presented by the Italian residents of the city, was unveiled in Druid Hill Park in 1892. With its pedestal it is 18 feet high. The statue proper is six and a half feet high. On the pedestal is seen 80 this inscription: "To Cristoforo Colombo. The ItaHans of Baltimore, 1892." BATTLE MONUMENT.— This stands in Mon- ument Square, opposite the Postoffice, and near the Courthouse. It was built by private subscriptions (aided materially by city appropriations), in memory of Baltimoreans who fell fighting at the battle of North Point. The corner-stone was laid in 181 5 and the monument completed in 1825. On one side is a bas-relief representing the battle of North Point and death of General Ross, while the bombardment of Fort McHenry is shown on the other. There is also an entablature bearing the names of those who fell in battle. The top of the monument rises 52 feet above the platform on which the structure rests. NORTH POINT ^lONU^^IENT.— This is a small shaft which marks the battlefield of North Point, seven miles from the city. ARMISTEAD MONUAIENT.— This is a marble block standing in Federal Hill Park. It was erected to the memory of Lieut.-Col. George Armistead, U. S. A., who w^as in command of the American forces at Fort ]\IcHenry during the British bom- bardment in 1 8 14.

McComas, who distinguished themselves at the battle of North Point. POE MONUMENT.— This is a plain but mas- sive tomb of white marble, erected by the Public School Teachers' Association of Baltimore, aided by 81 Dr. Baird of this city, and the late Geo. W. Childs, of Philadelphia, to the memory of Edgar Allan Poe. It is in the churchyard of the Westminster Presby- terian Church, corner of Greene and Fayette streets, where rest the remains of the famous poet WILDEY MONUMENT. — This monument, situated on Broadway, near Fairmount avenue, was erected in 1865 to the memory of Thomas Wildey, the founder of American Odd Fellowship. The site was given by the city and the funds were contributed by lodges in all sections of the country. The monu- ment is 52 feet high. RIDGELY MONUMENT. — This stands in Harlem Park, and was erected to the memory of James L. Ridgely, a prominent member of the Order of Odd Fellows. MISCELLANEOUS.— Other monuments and their locations must be briefly described. They are: The Wallace Statue, in Druid Hill Park, presented to the city by Mr. Wm. Wallace Spence; the Wash- ington Statue, near the main entrance to Druid Hill Park, presented to the city by the heirs of the late Mr. Noah Walker; a fine bronze figure of Chief Justice Taney, in Washington Place, presented to the city by Mr. Wm. T. Walters; a marble statue of John McDonogh, in Greenmount Cemetery. In this same cemetery are memorials erected by the citizens of Baltimore to Wm.

Baltimore is liberally blessed in the matter of " breathing space " in the numerous parks and squares which are scattered throughout the city and its suburbs. There are also many large yards at- tached to public and private buildings that con- tribute greatly to the city's breathing space. DRUID HILL PARK.— While this is not the largest park in this country, it is certainly one of the most beautiful. It covers an area of about 700 acres. A large part of this territory was included in the Druid Hill estate, which was purchased by the city in 1868. The park has four entrances, — a main entrance on Madison avenue, the Mount Royal en- trance, facing Oliver street, the Eutaw entrance, and the Druid Hill avenue entrance. Druid Hill lake is to the right of the main entrance, with a driveway of a mile and a half. Natural springs abound; there are reservoirs, a boating and skating lake and a fish 84 pond. There are also many groves, fitted with shel- ters and playgrounds, which are used as picnic grounds; also baseball, lacrosse and lawn-tennis grounds. There are two buildings in the interior of the park, — the Maryland building, used at the Cen- tennial of 1876, and the Mansion House, provided with dining and lunch-rooms, broad verandas and other conveniences usually found in similar places. A small zoological collection may be seen nearby. There are many miles of carriage drives running in various directions. The park is under the control of a Board of Park Commissioners, consisting of six citizens and the Mayor, ex officio. It is supported by a tax of nine per cent, of the gross receipts of the street car companies. The park may be reached by the Pennsylvania avenue and Reisterstown street cars, by the Madison avenue and Gilmor street cars, and by the Northern Central Railway from Calvert or Union Depots in the city, to Woodberry station. PATTERSON PARK.— This is the favorite holi- day resort for the eastern part of the city. A mag- nificent view of the city may be enjoyed from this point. A carriage-way extends entirely around the park, affording the visitor an excellent view o! its points of interest. The main entrance is on Pat- terson Park avenue. Near the entrance are many evidences of the gardener's skill in the form of sym- metrical beds of flowers and vari-colored plants. Inside the park may be seen the original earthworks thrown up in 18 14 by citizen volunteers when the British threatened to attack the city. The park is reached by the cable cars of the Traction line, which connect it with Druid Hill Park, 5 miles beyond. FEDERAL HILL PARK.— The larger part of this park is formed by an elevated plateau rising 85 feet above tidewater. The Marine Observatory is located here. A fine view of the city and harbor may be had from the highest parts of the park. The park is comparatively new, the city having acquired the land as late as 1878. It is located in south Bal- timore, and is reached by the Blue line and by the Paca street cars. RIVERSIDE PARK.— This is a small park, con- taining about seventeen acres, situated directly south of Federal Hill Park, and reached via the Paca street cars. It overlooks the Patapsco river, Ft. McHenry, Locust Point and the bay to North Point. It con- tains the remains of Ft. Covington, Avhose guns sunk the barges of the British fleet which were attempting to land a force for a night attack on Fort McHenry in 1814. HARLEM PARK, embracing an area of ten acres, is located in a residence section of northwest Baltimore. PUBLIC SQUARES. Eutaw Place is the most beautiful residence sec- tion of the city. It contains a series of squares artistically laid out in lawn and flower beds. Here and there are splashing fountains or moss-grown rockeries to relieve the monotony that might other- wise exist. Near by are Taney Place and Park Place squares. Johnson Square is bounded by Biddle, Valley, Chase and McKim streets. Wash- ington and Mt. Vernon Squares are in the heart of the most conservative residence section of the city. Perkins' Spring Square is a triangular plot of ground bounded by Myrtle avenue, George street and Clinton avenue. Lafayette Square, faced by four churches, is bounded by Lafayette, Arlington and Carrollton avenues and Lanvale street. Frank- lin Square is bounded by Lexington, Carey, Fay- ette and Calhoun streets. Fulton Avenue is a series of open squares extending from Franklin street to Baker Circle. Jackson Square is east of Broadway, between Fayette street and Fairmount avenue. Madison Square, running fountain, is bounded by Chase, Caroline, Eager and Eden streets. Ashland Square is at the intersection of Monument, Gay and Aisquith streets. Broadway Squares, on Broadway, extend from Baltimore street to North avenue. PROMINENT BUILDINGS. The prominent buildings of Baltimore are con- structed w4th a view to solidity and convenience rather than for showy display. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of large buildings erected in the business sections of the city within the past few years. EQUITABLE BUILDING.— This is one of the handsomest and most thoroughly constructed build- ings in the United States. It stands on the south- west corner of Fayette and Calvert streets. It is built of granite and Pompeiian brick, is ten stories high and contains about 150 rooms. LAW BUILDING.— This, one of the finest office buildings in Baltimore, stands on the corner of St Paul and Lexington streets. Its first two stories 90 are of granite, the remaining four are of Baltimore, cream-colored pressed brick. The building is used mainly for ofhces. A restaurant is located in the building for the convenience of tenants. HOTEL STAFFORD.— One of the most con- spicuous buildings in Baltimore is the Hotel Staf- ford, situated on the west side of Washington Place, near Aladison street. It is ten stories, built of brownstone as high as the third stor}% while the re- maining stories are of brick. The building is sup- posed to be thoroughly fire-proof. BALTHIORE AND OHIO RAILROAD BUILDING. — This is situated on the corner of Baltimore and Calvert streets. The central office is an imposing structure seven stories in height. It is built of pressed brick, trimmed with carved granite and bluestone. On the first floor are the ticket, telegraph and express offices.

MARKETS. The market-houses form an attractive and some- what picturesque feature of Baltimore, and the visi- tor may spend much time both pleasantly and profit- ably in inspecting them. There are eleven of these markets, and they are conveniently located in va- rious sections of the city. The oldest market-house in the city is on the corner of Baltimore street and Marsh Market Space. It was constructed in 1763 and is still one of the largest and most popular mar- kets in the city. The markets are: Belair, on For- rest, from Hillen to Orleans streets; Canton, on O'Donnell, from Potomac to Patuxent street; Centre, west of Jones Falls, from Baltimore to Pratt street; Cross Street, between Cross and West, and extending from Light to Charles street; Fell's Point, Broadway, from Canton to Thames street; Hanover, Hanover and Camden streets; Hollins, Hollins, south of Baltimore street; Lafayette, Cooke, east from Pennsylvania to Fremont avenue; Lex- ington, Lexington, from Eutaw to Pearl street; Northeastern, Chester, from Monument to McEl- derry street; Richmond, Howard, from Armory Place to Biddle street. The market-house or place consists of a series of roofed structures, with stalls and booths. Every article for the culinary depart- ment of the household is exposed for sale in these markets, and thither the matrons of Baltimore still 92 think it their duty to go for the purpose of selecting such deHcacies and substantial as are needed to supply the family table. MILITARY. Since the close of the Revolutionary War there has been a strong military spirit in Baltimore, and a large force of Baltimore volunteers took an active part in the war of 1812. From the latter period up to the time of the organization of the Maryland National Guard in 1886 there were many flourishing military organizations here. The Fifth Regiment is Baltimore's " crack military organization." It was organized in 1867. Its armory is on north Howard street. It consists of 12 companies of 60 men each, and has a splendid band, consisting of 75 musicians. The Fourth Regiment was organized in 1885 un- der the name of the Baltimore Light Infantry. It was organized under its present name in 1892. It consists of 9 companies of 60 men each, or a total (including officers) of 600 men. The Baltimore City Rifles and the ^Monumental City Guards are composed of colored men. THEATRES, Among the names connected with the history of the theatrical profession and of the theatres of Balti- more may be mentioned the Booths, the Clarkes and the Jeffersons; also the Batemans, the Polks, Jor- dans. Bishop and many others. Stuart Robson is a Baltimorean, and his late partner, Crane, is a native of Maryland. 93 The HoUiday Street Theatre, situated on HolUday street near Lexington, enjoys the distinction of be- ing the oldest theatre in the city. It occupies the identical spot on which a theatre was first built in 1794. The mother of Edgar Allan Poe was one of the first players to appear here. Forrest played Macbeth here in 1848. Charles Dickens lectured in this house during his American travels. The Front Street Theatre, on Front street, near Gay, was erected in 1829. John E. Owens, Edwin Booth, Fanny Ellsler, Jenny Lind and many other prominent stars have played here. The other theatres in Baltimore are: Albaugh's Lyceum, Charles street, near Biddle; Ford's Grand Opera House, Fayette street, near Eutaw; Harris' Academy of Music, Howard street, near Franklin; Howard Auditorium, Howard street, near Franklin; Kernan's Monumental, Baltimore street, near Front; and the Music Hall, Mt. Royal and Maryland aves. JOHNSON MANSION. No house in Baltimore is so rich in historic in- terest as the stately old Reverdy Johnson mansion, situated on the northwest corner of Fayette and Calvert streets. It is a three-story red-brick house, and was once the home of one of Maryland's most gifted sons. The house was built in 1818, and at that time its location was in the most fashionable section of the city. It was the scene of mob vio- lence in 1835, at which time dissatisfied depositors in a suspended bank, of which Reverdy Johnson was an officer, burned the contents of the house in the street during the absence of the owner and his 94 family. The State made due restitution a little while later. William Henry Harrison, Henry Clay and many other famous politicians have made addresses from the top of the marble steps of this mansion and enjoyed the hospitality of its owner. STREET RAILWAYS. Taken as a whole, Baltimore certainly has one of the most complete systems of street railways in the United States. The visitor who studies the map of the city and at the same time the routes and trans- fer points will experience no difficulty in reaching any desired point at very small cost.

The Hygienic Dermal Powder for Infants and Adults.li 13 "'ALCUM, the Silicate of Magnesia (4 MgO. 5 Si03 plus ^4 HO.), although knoAva in olden times, as far back as 2,300 years ago, when that immortal Greek scientist and naturalist, Theophrastus (370-286 B, c), in his venerable work on "Stones," des- bed it, was, up to the present day, entirely overlooked by therapeutists and never )d by dermatologists. Strange to "say ! Only in the j'-ear 1868, it was the good fortune bhe writer to be induced by peculiar circumstances to make researches in the phar- ceutic realm for a dermal application which might be acceptable to the medical •fession in the treatment and prevention of skin affections. In these researches cum was also experimented with, which proved to be the very substance looked for. rther investigations showed that, with the addition of carbolic acid, a preparation s produced most eihcacious in preventing erythema intertrigo and in curing the same verj^ severe cases. Besides, the " Compound Talcum" is indicated in cases of minor Exanthemata, viz., iicaria, roseola.

" I have come to regard Creasote as the most valuable medicinal agent Ave have at the present time for the treatment of tuberculosis."— Beverly Kobinson, M. D. MISTURA CREASOTI COMP. (HANCOCK.) Mistura Creasoti Comp. is a richly nutritious and stimulating Glyconin Emulsion of Beechwood Creasote, C. P. and Etherized Cod Liver Oil. The emulsification with Glyconin, an intimate compound of Yolk of Egg and Glycerin materially enhances the nutritive and demulcent properties of the preparation and reduces the liability of disturbing digestion. The emulsion is not thick and viscid but of the consistency of a rich cream, and will keep in any climate without becoming rancid. Indicated in all forms of Phthisis and kindred wasting diseases, and is especially serviceable in Chronic Bronchitis and other catarrhal conditions of the air passages. JOHN F.

The Painless Laxative and Superior Nerve Tonic. Every fluid drachm of Melachol contains eighty-five grains of the com- bined Sodium Phosphate, Citric Acid and Sodium Nitrate by our process. In Materia Medica there is nothing superior to Sodium Phosphate as a corrective of deficient or perverted secretion. Melachol is, therefore, advantageously administered in the treatment of any malady in which the secretory function IS INVOLVED ; and in chronic cases it is almost magical in its effects ; Chronic Malaria, Chronic Headaches; Chronic Dyspepsia; Catarrhal Disturbances of the bile duct ; Chronic Uterine Diseases, &c., &c., all are given an impetus toward health, which is easily kept up by suitable attention to diet and exercise. For Irritable Nerves ; for cases of Melancholia, or for the faulty development of bones or teeth, there is no other remedy as good as Melachol. ALTA PHARMACAL CO. Fourth and Lucas Ave. 5t, Louis.
