JOHN BORN MAN & SON, PRINTKRa, y PREKACK, This being the first edition, it will not be quite as perfect as it is hoped to make succeeding issues, but no time or expense has been spared in gathering all valuable information. It is arranged alphabetically; there- fore no index is necessary. Any information regarding a particular place will be found under its proper heading, with description and correct loca- tion; for instance, the art schools will be found by turning to the A's, chamber of commerce under the C's, parks under the P's, etc. This work is not an advertising scheme. Wherever advertisements are inserted they appear as such, and not in disguise. It fills a legitimate field, comprising important information in one book, that has heretofore only been given in sections and at random, and much of which, though valuable, has never been published before. The information contained in this dictionary has been obtained when- ever possible, from official quarters, and is therefore authentic and reliable. WiLLIAn T.

Abandoned or Lost Property, when found by Detroit police, is turned over to police headquarters, cor. of Bates and Randolph streets. Articles left on the horse cars, elec- tric roads or ferry boats, may be recovered by applying at the re- spective offices of these companies. Abattoirs.— The largest abattoir in Detroit is located on Dix ave. and Michigan Central R. R. It is the property of the Michigan Beef and Provision Co.; office is located on Cadillac Square. There are several smaller abattoirs, but they are used only for retail trade. African Methodist Episcopal Churches.— The following list gives the names and location of those in Detroit : Bethel A. M. E. Church, comer Napoleon and Hastings streets. Brown's A. M. E. Church, comer Thirtieth and Jackson streets. ^ Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, north side Calhoun, bet. Beaubien and St. Antoine streets. Aldermen. — The legislative power of the city is vested in a common council, composed of 33 members, who must be qualified electors, one of whom is elected in each ward of the city, at the annual city election, for the term of two years, from the second Tuesday of January next ensuing their election. They have power to enforce, pass, and repeal city ordinances, subject to the approval of the mayor, and to pass resolutions over his veto by a three-quarters vote. They meet at their own pleasure, usually once a week, but occasionally at greater intervals, in th^ room in the City Hall. Ambulances. — An ambulance ser- vice is connected with the Harper, Grace and Emergency hospitals, and also at 283 Rivard street, under the charge of the City Poor Commission. Boyd's ambulance, located at the same place, is engaged by railroad companies and a few larger corpor- ations. All the patrol wagons in the police service are so equipped that they may be instantly used as an ambulance. (See Horse Ambul- ance.) Amusements. — Detroit is well provided with amusements, both summer and winter; in the latter the three large opera houses and^ AlSir— ART Wonderland Musee are always in full blast, and this year the Lyceum has inaugurated a season of summer opera. Wonderland Musee will be open nearly if not quite all summer, and there will be summer opera at Des-Chree-Shos-Ka, an island resort, eight miles down the river, besides the usual skating and other pastimes in winter, boating, excursions, and many other amusements in summer. Architectural Features.— De- troit has many fine buildings, both public aDd private, of modern con- struction. Among those erected in the last few years are the Hammond, an office building, ten stories high, exterior of brown stone and brick, interior mainly of iron, and finished from top to bottom with white mar- ble. It is perfectly fire proof. The Hudson building is of a different type, being for retail business; it is also built of brown stone and brick, eight stories high, and one of the many attractions to be found in it is an observing tower on the top, from which a splendid view can be ob- tained. The two Union depots are fine examples of modern building; other fine buildings are the Campau, Newberry and McMillan, Moffatt, Whitney, Hodges, McGraw, Board of Trade, Cadillac Hotel, Russell House, Ste. Claire Hotel, Court House, City Hall, Public Library, Art Museum, Detroit Opera House, Lyceum Theatre, Whitney's Opera House, and many others too numer- ous to mention, ranging in height from five to ten stories. A trip up Woodward avenue or out Jefl:erson avenue, by electric car or by car- riage, both streets being paved with asphalt, would show many fine churches and private dwellings, built of brown stone, white stone, white marble, various colored brick, and many other odd but pleasing materials ; mention should also be made of the new post c^ce, which is in course of construction, of white stone, occupying an entire block, and which will be the finest and largest building in this part of the country ; the new Chamber of Com- merce building, now being built, will also be a very fine building. Art Museum.— This building is located on Jefferson avenue and Hastings street, and is an imposing and beautiful edifice, situated as it is in the midst of elegant private residences. The Museum contains hundreds of fine paintings, statues, interesting relics, curiosities, etc.,- constantly being added to ; it alsoS has a large class of art students, J which is growing in size every year. Art Schools.— No city in the country offers better facilities for the cultivation of the fine arts. It has long been known as a musical centre, and during the past few years has made rapid progress in the study of art. This interest is largely due to the refined taste of the peo-, pie, whose wealth enables them toj gratify a love of the beautiful, thai esult being several private collect-l ions of great value. There is areJ important school connected with the 1 Art Museum (for location, see Art! Museum), with 200 students in' attendance during the past year. There is a fine corps of teachers; one of the largest collections of casts in the west, while the museum and gallery offer the greatest advan- tage for the study of . art in the country. Several teachers of ability give private lessons in their studios, and the vast field of varied scenery, within easy access of the city, make summer classes in out-door sketch- ing both popular and profitable. The Detroit School op Arts is located corner Grand River and Washington avenues. The school ART— ASS is open daily from September 1st to June 17. The object of this school is to afford facilities for study of the highest order to all those seeking education in the various branches of art. Its most important mission, perhaps, is to place within reach of the artisan, as well as the person of wealth and leisure, the opportunity of increasing his artistic knowledge and skill in the direct lines in which lie his life work. In the industrial or applied arts there is the greatest need for more artistic skill on the part of the workman and designer, and it is proposed to make the work of this institution of practical value to decorators, designers, woodcarv- ers, lithographers, engravers, photo- graphers, metal workers, silver- smiths, etc. , as well as to those who wish to follow the higher branches, and make a profession of painting or sculpture; or those who merely wish to take advantage of the facilities offered to gain a better knowledge of art. Art Stores.— There are half a dozen stores in Detroit making a specialty of this line of goods, where almost everything can be obtained; and where anything is not in stock it can be readily secured for cus- tomers. Most of these stores are located on or near Woodward ave. Art StOYes.— See stoves. Artistic Furniture.— Detroit is the fortunate possessor of many fac- tories and show rooms of these beautiful and useful articles, second to none in this country, in quality, workmanship, or price. Artistic Silyerware— This city is rapidly coming to the front in this interesting and valuable art. No better instance could be mentioned than the beautiful solid silver punch bowl, made by a Detroit fi^m, and recently presented to the United States ship ** Detroit." Assessors, Board of.— The Board of Assessors is composed of three members appointed by the common council, on the recommendation of the mayor, who hold their office for the term of three years respectively, beginning on the first day of July, and shall devote their whole time to the service of the city in connection with the duties of their office, and the member whose term soonest ex- pires shall be president of said board. It is the duty of the Board of Assessors, before the first day of April in each fiscal year, to assess, at its true cash value, all the real and personal property subject to taxation by the laws of this State, within the city, and make out and complete the assessment rolls, one for each ward, and also to make assessment roll for paving streets and alleys, and place the assessment on all street opening rolls. They shall cause notice to the tax-payers to be published in two daily news- papers, for two weeks prior to the first day of April in each year, that the assessment rolls have been com- pleted. Any person considering himself aggrieved by reason of any assessment may complain thereof before said Board of Assessors, and, on sufficient cause being shown by such person to the satisfaction of such board, it shall review the assessment complained of, and may alter or correct the same. The Board of Assessors, or a majority of them, having completed the review and correction of said assessment rolls, shall sign on or before the third Tuesday in April in each year, and return the same to the common council. The common council, after receiving said rolls, shall, at its next regular session, proceed to consider the same, and any person consider- ASS— ATH 8 ing himself aggrieved by the assess- ment of his property may appeal, in writing, to said common council, and they shall hear and determine all such appeals in a summary man- ner, and correct any errors which they may discover in the assessment rolls, and may increase or diminish any assessment as they may see fit. They may continue the considc- ation of the assessment rolls and the hearing of appeals for a period not exceeding sixteen days, after the time when they are first to be con- sidered, and on or before the expir- ation of the sixteen days the assess- ment rolls shall be fully and finally confirmed by said common council. After the assessment rolls shall have been fully and finally confirmed the Board of Assessors shall cause the amount of all taxes in dollars and cents, authorized to be assessed and collected in each year, to be assessed ratably in the rolls for each ward in separate columns, showing the amount of city, school, highway and police taxes assessed to each person or lots in each year, and when said rolls are completed on July 1st each year the board shall turn said rolls over to the Controller and take his receipt therefor. The city taxes are payable at the office of the Receiver of Taxes from July 1st to August 1st of each year, without percentage, after which time one per cent per month will be added thereto for six months, which becomes part of the tax, and there- after runs with interest at the rate of ten per cent, per annum. If not paid before the first day of June following the property is sold for taxes. Associated Press.— The Asso- ciated Press is an association of the principal newspapers in this country and Canada, organized for the pur- pose of gathering the news of the day. To most people the scope and aim of the association are a mystery. With agencies in all of the principal cities on this continent, and working in connection with similar organiza- tions in Europe and elsewhere, the Associated Press is enabled to sup- ply its members and clients with all the news of the world, on the same day on which it occurs. In the United States the Asso- ciated Press has a telegraphic cir- cuit which takes in all cities of im- portance. This circuit is manned with the most expert operators that are to be had, who receive all the matter from the wires right on a typewriter. Manifold copies, as many as are desired in each city, are taken, and every paper is supplied with copy that is ready for the printer to set up. J At each of the cities on the circuit J a smaller report for the smaller I papers in their respective district is I made up, consisting of news speci- ' ally interesting and affecting that particular section. The State of Michigan is served from Detroit, and all news originating within its confines is telegraphed to the Detroit agency, and from there given to the world. The Detroit papers served by the Associated Press are the Tribune, Free Press and Journal, Charles E. Cutter, is manager of the Detroit agency, with offices at 325 and 326 Hammond Building. Those daily papers, published in the city, which do not enjoy the Associated Press' privileges, are furnished with telegraphic news by the United Press. Asylums.— See Benevolent Socie- ties and Institutions. Athletics. — Detroit enjoys the distinction of having several large athletic clubs and a number of smaller ones, which keep the public ATH— BAN interested in legitimate sports of all kinds; there are also numerous pri- vate gymnasiums in different parts of the city, the principal clubs and athletic societies are: Central Athletic Club. Detroit Athletic Club. Michigan Athletic Association. Bank«*rs.— The following is a list of private bankers doing business in Detroit : Cameron Currie & Co., 83 Gris- wold street, second floor.

Baths. — A bath, either hot or cold, may be obtained at any first class barber shop, of which there are many located in all parts of the city, the usual price being 25 cents. There are also many places where one can get a Turkish, Russian, electric or mineral bath. Detroit also has a mineral spring, where baths may be obtained by either sex at convenient hours. At the Y. M. C. A. will be found a nata- torium, which can be used winter or summer; but the most popular place in summer is in the bright, clear, blue water of the Detroit river. There are two private bath houses situated near the Belle Isle bridge approach, or if provided with a suitable costume anyone can go to Belle Isle Park and inquire of the first police officer the location of the bathing beach. There will soon be a suitable baili house erected on the island, as it is an improvement much needed. I 11 BEG— BEK Beggars.— Begging is not allowed in Detroit. Persons accosted on the street by a beggar should refer them to the McGregor Helping Hand Mission, where any honest person will receive aid; the Central Police Station also furnishes tem- porary lodging. Belle Isle Park.— Is located opposite the eastern end of the city, at the head of the Detroit river, and is accessible by bridge or ferry boats which run every fifteen min- utes from three different parts of the city during warm weather. The Island divides the water as it enters the river from Lake St. Clair into two streams, each about three- quarters of a mile wide. The island, which comprises about 750 acres, and is densely, covered with magni- ficent old forest trees, was pur- chased by the city for the purpose of making it a park, and cost |200,- 000, and over $1,000,000 have al- ready been spent in improving it; the city annually expending about $200,000 on it.

Home for the Aged Poor, corner Scott and Dequindre streets. In charge of the Little Sisters of the Poor. Home of Industry for Dis- charged Prisoners from the State of Michigan, founded March 4th, 1888, by Mrs. Agnes L. D'Ar- cambal.

Orders for brooms, etc., promptly executed. Home of the Friendless Asso- ciation, Warren avenue, west of Woodward avenue. The object of the association shall be to receive into a suitable home women and children of general good conduct and character who have been ren- dered homeless— or more than homeless — by want or distress. It is the intention of the home to help this class of unfortunates rather by prevention than reformatory meas- ures, and to provide its inmates, with a temporary home until they can be permanently placed, either as adopted children or domestics, with families of good moral charac- ter. A further object of the asso- ciation is to endeavor to secure em- ployment in respectable places for girls — strangers — who come to the city to seek service. House of Providence, Infant Asylum and Lying-in-Hospital, corner St. Antoine and Elizabeth streets. Under charge of the Sisters of Charity. Organized, 1868. BEN-BOA 12 Lutheran Deaf and Dumb Asylum, is located in North De- troit, on Asylum road, about seven miles from the City Hall, and but a short distance from Detroit and Bay City K. K. and Grand Trunk R. R. It was organized in 1873. The founder was Dr. Speckhart, who was a deaf and dumb teacher in Germany for 20 years. It is man- aged by the Lutheran Society of Missouri Synod. There are now 40 children in the school, 120 having graduated. The articulation method is used to teach the pupils German, the parents being nearly all of that nation; it can be understood better than the finger language. English is taught in writing only. Open Door Society, 223 Park street. Protestant Orphan Asylum, 988 Jefferson avenue. St. Joseph's Retreat for the Insane. — Dearborn. Owned and controlled by Sisters of Charity. St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, McDougall avenue, between Larned and Congress streets. Was organ- ized in 1851 and incorporated in 187L It stood on the southwest corner of Larned and Randolph streets until the year 1875, when the new building on McDougall avenue was completed, and the orphans were brought there. The asylum now receives orphans, half orphans and destitute children between the ages of three and twelve years. The education imparted to the orphans is of a practical kind, and includes domestic work, besides the ordinary branches of a common school course. Seaman's Home, located corner Oriswold and At water streets, is an important institution for sailors, both morally and financially assist- ing sailors when sick or out of work, and bestowing other benefits. Thompson Home for Old Ladies, corner Hancock and Cass avenues. Woman's Hospital and Found- ling's Home, Thirteenth street, two blocks south of Grand River j avenues. Working Woman's Home Asso- ciation AND YOONG AYOMAN S Home, corner Clifford street and Adams avenues. ZoAR Orphan Asylum and Home for the Aged, 248 to 256 Harvey avenue. Beth EI Cemetery.— Located on Champlain street, and reached by Fort Wayne and Belle Isle Electric cars and owned by Beth El congre- gation; and sect. F north, in Wood- mere cemetery, reserved for Beth El congregation. Bicycling is a very popular and useful pastime in Detroit, on account of the many wide and beautiful streets and driveways, a proof of it being the thousands of riders of both sexes who are to be seen on the streets every day. The number is constantly increasing, as the city is rapidly putting in new and better pavements. Bicyclers are governed by the same rules as ordinary vehicles on paved streets during the day and evening, and are not al- lowed to ride on the sidewalks ex- cept on unpaved streets. On paved streets bicyclers are allowed to ride on the sidewalks after 11 p.m. Bird and Dog Fanciers.— There are numerous private dealers in both birds and dogs. The principal dealer in birds, dog furnishings, etc., is located on Jefferson avenue, near Bates street. The principal dog kennel is located on Hastings street, near the boulevard. Board of Trade.— The Board of j Trade of the City of Detroit was first organized in 1856, and was sub- 13 BOA— BOA sequently incorporated under the General Act of the Legislature for the incorporation of commercial or- ganizations, approved March 19, 1863. As provided in its constitu- tion the object of the association shall be "to promote just and equitable principles in trade; to cor- rect any abuses which may exist, and generally to advance the inter- ests of trade and commerce, and promote the convenience and secur- ity of the members of the associa- tion." While the board is chiefly an exchange for the handling of grain and produce, it has always taken a deep interest in everything tending to promote the welfare of the city and the prosperity of its business enterprises. Its sympathy and aid has been cheerfully rendered towards the construction of new railroads throughout the State and tributary to Detroit; in the improve- ment of lake navigation, culminat- ing in the successful issue of the great Deep Water Navigation Con- vention held in Detroit in December, 1891, for the securing of a 20 and 21 feet channel from the head of the lakes to Buffalo. A continuous and energetic interest has also been ex- hibited, touching questions relating to freight and transportation; the growth" of manufacturing and mer- cantile industries, and Hke matters in commercial circles. Since the organization of the board, its membership has included many of Detroit's most honored and successful citizens, while it has been so fortunate in its successive admin- istrations in having ofiicers willing to devote their best judgment and their experience to its general wel- fare. This is evidenced in the fact that the decisions of its tribunals have been of such force and wisdom that no member of. the board has ever had a suit at law with another member in matters related to the board; neither has the association ever had any litigation with any of its members, although business transactions would reach scores of millions of dollars annually. Its receipts and shipments of grain during the past year have exceeded 20, 000, 000 bushels. This is a record few, if any, commercial or other associations in the country can show. The board is located on the third floor of Board of Trade Building, corner Jefferson avenue and Oris- wold street. Boarding Houses are located in all parts of the city; prices range from $2. 50 per week to the price of a good-sized income. Almost anyone can be suited at one of the numer- ous boarding house agencies, lo- cated principally on or near Gris- wold street. Boating. — Detroit is famous for its beautiful river and Island Park. The latter contains numerous artifi- cial lakes and canals, about 3 to 4 feet deep, which will accommodate hundreds of small boats without crowding. Boats can be obtained on the island for 10c. an hour, up. Access is had to the park either by bridge or one of the numerous and capacious ferry-boats, of which there are eight, which make regular trips to and from Windsor, Canada, and to and from Belle Isle, Wood- ward avenue, Twelfth street, and Jos. Campau avenue, at the uniform rate of 10 cents, round trip. There are also many excursion steamers- run more or less regularly between different points of attraction up and down the river and lakes for many miles. There are also many places along the river and near the bridge approach where sail boats and yachts of all sizes can be hired by the hour, day or week. In addition to the above, thousands of boats of all sizes pass up and down the river BOA— BUI 14 annually, but as they nearly always take the south or Canadian channel, the north or American channel at Belle Isle is comparatively safe for small boats. Boot Blacks may be found on -all corners in the business centre of the city. The ordinary price for a shine is 5 cents. Boot rooms may be found at all hotels, where the price is generally 10 cents. Bouleyards.— See drives. Bric-a-Brac. — Intending pur- chasers or visitors will find numer- ous establishments located on the main avenues, containing thousands •of different articles of this kind. Bridges. — Belle Isle Park bridge, connecting Detroit with its beautiful park, is 8,134 feet long, including approaches, and was built in 1887-88, ani cost about |350,000. It is thrown across from the foot of Frontenac Boulevard, nearly at right -angles with the channel, and 22! feet from the water to the bridge floor. There are 12 spans, a fixed span next the mainland, 156 feet long, then a pivot-draw span of 318 feet, followed by ten fixed spans, each of 156 feet. Each span consists of three trusses, each carrjang a drive way 24 feet wide, and two sidewalks of 8 feet each. The draw-span is moved by steam power, and when open gives two passage-ways for vessels, each of 125 feet. There is also a new ornamental iron bridge over the Rouge River, on the De- troit River road, and several orna- mental iron bridges and unique rus- tic bridges are to be found on Belle Isle Park. Building Inspectors, Board of. — An Act of the Legislature, ap- proved June 17, 1885, created a Board of Building Inspectors for the City of Detroit, which shall con- sist of three competent mechanics or architects, resident electors of the City of Detroit, to be appointed by the common council on the nomin- ation of the Mayor, whose term of ofllce shall be three years, who shall devote their entire time to the duties 1, of their office, and who shall not bell engaged or interested directly or in- ' directly in the building business, and shall be paid such salary for ^ their services, under this Act, as thejl common council shall determine, J 1 but not to exceed $1,200 per annum. It is the duty of said building in- spectors to make, at least once in each year, a thorough examination and inspection of all halls, opera houses, theatres, and buildings for amusement and recreation, school houses, churches, manufactories, workshops, stores, blocks for offices, hotels, boarding and tenement buildings, stands, platforms, freight or passenger elevators, and build- ings or structures of every kind in the City of Detroit, used or intended to be used or occupied by gather- ings of people, with reference to the safety of such buildings and struc- tures for the purpose for which de- 'j signed, and for the speedy and safe egress of the persons therein and thereon assembled, in case of sudden alarm or danger. In addition to such regular inspection of said buildings and structures it shall be the duty of said inspectors to promptly inspect any building or structure, of what- ever character, when a complaint is made, or it comes to their knowl- edge that said building or structure is unsafe, and report in detail to the common council, at the end of each month, the work performed by them, and all information, with reference thereto, and shall submit to the said common council, in December of each 3^ear, a summary of their work of the preceding year. Also by Act of the Legislature, ap- proved July 5, 1889, for the en- 15 BUI-CHA forcement of the factory inspection laws, were placed in the hands of this board. And by a resolution of the council, March 13, 1888, the en- forcement of the smoke ordinance was placed in the hands of the Board of Building Inspectors. Catholic Club.— The Catholic Club, the leading Catholic social or- ganization of Detroit, is located at the corner of Wilcox street and Library Place, one block from Woodward avenue and three blocks from the City Hall. The Club has a member- ship of 500, including leading busi- ness and professional men, manufac- turers, bankers, journalists and law- yers, and its new stone club house at the above point has been occupied within the last two years. Prior to that time, the Club, which was or- ganized in 1887, was located at First street and Lafayette avenue, v/liere it outgrew its quarters and had forced on it the necessity of building the home it now occupies, at a cost of $70,000. The new house is a ful- ly equipped home for the Club, con- taining reception halls and parlors, reading room, library, billiard par- lors, bowling alleys, gymnasium and bath rooms, a music hall, card rooms, and other accommodations for the amusement and entertainment of its members. Cemeteries. — The following com- prises a list of the Cemeteries in and near Detroit, which find for further information under proper head. (Al- so see Crematory.) Beth El. Elm- •wood. Forest Lawn. Free Sons of Israel. German Lutheran. Mount Elliot. Mount Olivet. Shaary Ze- deck. Woodmere. Chamber of Commerce was or- ganized January 5th, 1892. The matter had been under discussion for several years, as the want of a central commercial t)rganization was clearly felt. The scope of the under- taking was to concentrate the vari- ous exchanges of the city, and to centralize their power and influence on all matters pertaining to the gen- eral interests of the city, while the different exchanges would still con- tinue in their several legitimate fields of work. Much enthusiasm was dis- played in its organization and the very best and most influential busi- ness and professional men in the city are numbered in its membership. It having been clearly demonstrat- ed by previous efforts that no organi- zation formed to promote the public good could be held together without some financial basis for membership, it was determined to organize with a capital stock of $100,000, one thous- and shares or memberships of $100 each. The yearly dues for 1892 and 1893 were fixed at $10. Early in the inception of the undertaking it was determined to erect for itself a build- ing which, besides furnishing a large and commodious exchange hall and ofiices, should also become the home of the other exchanges, with a num- ber of offices for rental purposes. To this end a lot in the very heart of the city, being 88 feet on Gris- wold, and 100 on State, on the north- east corner of these two streets, was purchased, and plans in competition were made for a modern twelve- story structure, a cut of which is given This building, now in process of erection, will be twelve stories high, fire proof, made of structural steel, with stone facings for the first five stories, ai^d pressed brick and terra cotta above. Five elevators will make easy access to all parts of the building. The general Exchange Hall will be upon the third and fourth floors, two stories high, taking up about one-half of the space on these two floors. The offices will all be light and airy, either opening on the out- side of the building or on the open CHA-CHU 16 court off from State street. As this is the first building of its kind to be erected in Detroit, much interest is felt in its construction. It will face westward upon Griswold street and a handsome little park, which will occupy the space made vacant by the burned high school building, built upon the old State Capitol site. There are about 700 members in The Detroit Chamber of Commerce, standing fifth in point of membership in the Chambers of Commerce in the United States. It proposes, among other things, to do all it can to bring capital and deserving enterprises to- gether, and to aid in securing suit- able sites for new manufacturing plants. Its exchange rooms will af- ford ample facilities for the daily meetings of its members, and it will have the market reports from all parts of the world. The business men from different sections of the states who come frequently to De- troit, will find here comfortable oflSce faciUties and ready means for meet- ing the business men of Detroit of aU classes and professions. Its secretary will be ready at all times to answer legitimate letters of enquiry, and will welcome strangers to the city in search of information.

There are several syna- gogues in Detroit that usually hold services on Saturday. There are about 150 churches in Detroit, hav- ing a seating capacity of 200 to 2,000 each. The churches are, for the most part, supported by the regular congregation, with pew rents and voluntary contributions, but strangers are always welcome.

In this manner the membership has grown to about 200, and the surplus to nearly $2 500. The club house is at the foot of McDougall avenue. It is a neat little building of two stories. City Hall.— This was erected at a cost of $600,000, and was occupied for the first time on July 4th, 1871. It occupies the block bounded by Woodward ave., Michigan ave., Griswold street and Fort street, with an entrance on each of its four sides. It is a massive structure, five stories, and a tower of three stories high, from which an excellent view of the city can be had. It is used by the city and county governments. When built it was considered ample in size for 50 years or more, but so rapidly has the city grown that more room is imperative, and a new building worthy of the city will probably be started in the near future. Clearing House Association.— Is located in the rear of the Citizens* Savings Bank, cor.

Each case of sudden death is at once reported to the nearest coroner, either by the attending physician or by the police, and an investigation is made if the coroner deems it advisable. A jury is paneled and an inquest is held, and if circumstances warrant it, an autopsy. Correction, House of.— Among the institutions of the City of De- troit wide and favorably known, ranks our House of Correction, situ- ated at the corner of Alfred and Russell streets, and is easily reached by Gratiot avenue cars. The ori- ginal buildings of this prison were erected in 1860 and 1861, and cost, including additions since made, somewhat over $150,000. The total estimated value of land, buildings and appurtenances, in round num- bers, foot up fully $500,000. The management and direction of the institution is vested in the Superin- tendent, under the control and authority of a Board of Inspectors, who are appointed by the common council, upon the nomination of th^ mayor. Said Board of InspectorgJ consists of four members, who serve without compensation. Quarterly statements and annual reports of the affairs of the House of Correction are required from the Board of In- spectors, and must be approved by the common council. The Board of Inspectors appoint the superintend- ent, whose term of office is three years. County Clerk's Office is located on the first floor of the City Hall. County Officers.— The principal officers of Wayne County are the sheriff, county treasurer, county clerk, register of deeds, and coro-. ners. The location of their offices isal given under the head of each. f | County Treasurer's Office is located on the first floor of the City Hall Crematory.— The Michigan Cre- matory is located on the south side' of Lafayette avenue, between Spring- wells and West End avenues. It can be reached by the Fort street electric cars. The chapel is nicely furnished in hard woods, and will comfortably seat 100 persons. It contains a platform for the minister^ or speaker, and directly in front of the platform is a catafalque, on which the body is placed before it is 19 CRE— DET gently lovv ered to the room below, where it is placed in a chilled steel crib, and then rolled into the retort which is heated to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The body does not come in contact with the flames, as a good m-rn' suppose, but is placed in an oven in which the heat is so intense that it causes the body to change to dust in from one to two hours, according to the size of the body. The urn room is very hand- somely and appropriately furnished, and already contains a good many beautiful urns. There is nothing harsh or gruesome about the whole process, that w^ould jar even the most sensitive. It is one of the places of interest in Detroit, and a visit would amply repay any one, and perhaps remove prejudice against it. Curious and Old Coins.— The principal dealer in these articles is H. Smith, on Gratiot avenue, near the Public Library. There are also fine collection in the Library Mu- seum and the Art Museum. Delray. — Is located just west of Detroit; in fact, a stranger can hardly tell where Detroit ends and Delray commences. There are numerous large factories located there. It has a population of 5,000, and is reached by both railroad and Fort Wayne electric cars. Depots.— (See railways). Des-Chree-Shos-Ka. — Is an island resort about eight miles down the river, formerly called Fighting Is- land; it was bought a few years ago by private parties and turned into a summer resort. The grounds are nicely laid out and there is an ele- gant hotel and casino on the island. Detroit. — The City of Detroit has a history which is unique, romantic and thrilling. Few cities in any part of the new world have em- braced, in their origin and progress, so many changes of government, such peculiar methods of adminis- tration, and so many social trans- formations. Detroit has been, by times, a trading-post, a military rendezvous, the scene of fearful massacres, the fitting-out place of bands of marauding savages, the abode of Acadian simplicity, the embodiment of early western activ- ity, the exponent of self-satisfied conservatism, and the wide-spread- ing, widely known and enterprising metropolis of Michigan. It now literally sends the products of its laboratories and factories to every country on the globe, and to many islands of the sea. The number of persons employed in its factories and in the business enterprises naturally growing therefrom, does not, of itself, account for its increas- ing prosperity. The fact is, that a large proportion of its growth in recent years is because of its great attractiveness as a place of resi- dence, and in this respect it has no rival on the continent, and possesses advantages that are impossible to other cities. Located on a river whose waters are of unrivaled pur- ity, and whose entire length, of some twenty-seven miles, forms a natural harbor, beautified with more than a score of islands, it possesses a situation that is excep- tional, and in the summer season especially, opportunities for recre- ation are numberless. The river never overflows its banks, is never violently agitated; the supply is limitless; it is usually placid and clear and affords superior ice. ' The size of the river and its strong and uniform current, together with the high banks, afford superior drainage DET— DET facilities, whicli are well improved. The climate has enough of variety to give added zest to the seasons. The region is rarely, and never but for a few days at a time, subject to extreme changes of temperature. The autumns are especially pleasant, and the winters usually very mild. These and many other advantages unite to make the city emphatically a city of homes, and the United States census shows that in number of dwellings proportionate to popu- lation, it stands at the head of all cities of the country. Anyone who passes through the residence dis- tricts will see that the census state- ment is justified by actual facts. The beautiful effects of fine lawns and thrifty shade trees are seen in all parts of the city. Not only are its homes numerous, but many are surprisingly elegant and beautiful; and in business structures, as well, there are many that in any city would attract commendation. Detroit Athletic Clnb, which has come to be the leading athletic organization of the west, was founded April 5th, 1887, it being the outcome of a small organization known for a number of years before as the Detroit Amateur Ball Club. The D. A. C. started in as a joint stock corporation with 500 shares at $10 each, and has already increased its membership to 1,000. The Ath- letic Club grounds, which consist of six acres, are the finest in the country, and are situated on Wood- ward avenue, in the heart of the finest residence portion of the city. The club house, although small, is a model of artistic beauty, and is most perfectly equipped in every particular, and for out-door exercise the club has most desirable facilities. The membership of the club is drawn from a class of young men between 18 and 25 vears of a^e. and who are, taken as a whole, as fine a body of athletes as are to be found in the country. The club also has a number of young athletes in all branches, who are bound to make their mark in their respective lines. Detroit Hnmane Society for the Preyention of Cruelty to Animals and Children, was or- ganized November 5th, 1876, and has existed ever since; Jun.e 12th, 1877, the society was duly incorpor- ated; in May, 1893, the society opened headquarters at room 21, Kanter building, making suitable arrangements for regular and effect- ive work, and placing Mr. Vhay in charge. The society owns the only horse ambulance in Detroit. (See Horse Ambulance.) Detroit Opera House.— Is lo- cated on the Campus Martins, and is a very popular place, nearly all * strictly first-class plays being pre- sented there. Detroit Real Estate Board.— Within the past two years there has been a general movement among real estate dealers, in ail the larger cities, to organize. Detroit dealers were among the last to respond to this tendency, but they finally fell into line, with the result that on December 20th, 1891, the Detroit Real Estate Board was organized. Starting with thirty-six (36) mem- bers, the board has steadily grown, until on June 1st, 1893, it comprised eighty -one (81) of the leading real estate dealers of the city. Tlie same motives which prompt mem- bers of nearly every other profession and calling to maintain an organiza- tion, actuate real estate men to do the same. Among the objects sought to be attained by this .board, in common with local boards of other cities, is the regulation of commis- sions in handling property, the en- II 21 BET— DRI couragement of honorable dealing among members and between mem- bers and patrons, the discounte- nancing of all schemes not in accord with legitimate and honorable busi- ness principles, and the cultivation of more friendly relations between members. The board also collects and publishes a large amount of in- formation regarding Detroit, its advantages and resources, and en- courages, in many ways, the loca- tion here of all enterprises and in- dustries calculated to promote the^ advancement of the city. Through' its public service committee, the board exerts its influence in favor of such state or municipal legislation as appears calculated to advance the city's interests, and opposes such legislation as seems inimical to the general good. The various local boards of the country, acting through the National Real Estate Association, work to secure, in the different States, uniformity of laws affecting the transfer, inheritance and encumbrance of real estate, also to simplify the mode of transfer. It is a further aim of both local and national boards to elevate the stand- ard of real estate business and the personnel of those engaged In it. The office of the board is at 91 Griswold street. Detroit Yacht Club has its club house opposite the driving park, and on the water's edge of the property lately offered to the city I for a park. The club's anchorage is one of the best along the lakes, and the situation is such that the races open right into the free waters of Lake St. Clair. Distances in Detroit— The dis- tance from the depots to the princi- pal hotels, not located opposite the depots, is about J^ mile. From the city hall out Jefferson avenue to city limits is about SJ^ miles, out Gratiot avenue about 4 miles, out Woodward avenue about 4 miles, out Michigan avenue about 4 miles, out Fort street west about d}4 miles. From city hall to waterworks about 5 miles, to Fort Wayne about 4 miles, to Grosse Pointe about 7 miles, to Belle Isle bridge about 3 miles. Distances to Other Cities from Detroit : MILES.

Drinking Fountains. — Public drinking fountains for people are rather scarce, only one of any real value being in the city, that is the Bagley fountain, located near the City Hall, which cost $10,000. There are, however, numerous fountains for horses in different parts of the city, and the Humane Society pro- vides and takes care of a number of stone tubs or jars for dogs. DRI-ELM 22 Drires. — There are many pleas- ant drives in and about Detroit, those on Belle Isle Park being un- doubtedly the finest. There are also many streets and avenues in the city which are very pleasant for a drive, including the new boulevard, which makes an entire circuit of the city. Many people like to drive to Grosse Pointe or out Woodward avenue, or out Fort street west, all of which make very enjoyable trips. Drugs.- -The fame of Detroit as a drug center far transcends any local or national boundaries. Its medi- cinal preparations are distributed over a domain upon which the sun never sets. The chief manufactur- ing enterprise of this kind is that of Parke, Davis & Co., possessing im- mense laboratories in Detroit and warehouses and offices for distribut- ing purposes in New York, Kan- sas City and London, England, in addition to an auxiliary factory in Walker ville, Ont. Five travelers serve to guard their interests in Australia; they are also represented in India, South America and other places. A number of large en- terprises in Detroit are devoted to the manufacture of specialities and non-secret remedies, the laboratory of Frederick Stearns & Co. being the largest of this class, with branches and representatives in New York, Windsor, Ont., London, Eng- land, India and New Zealand. Four travelers are kept busy in Austra- lia and two in South America. The wholesale drug houses in our city are among the largest in the country, and through their numer- ous representatives patrol commer- cially a large section of the west. The largest jobbers of drugs and druggists' sundries are Messrs. Williams, Davis, Brooks & Co. In respect to capital invested and diver- sity of products, the drug interests of Detroit are easily the most exten- sive in the United States. Dry Goods. —The principal retail stores are located on Woodward avenue, between Jefferson avenue and Grand Circus Park and tribu- tary streets. The wholesale houses are located principally on Jefferson avenue, between the Michigan Cen- tral depot and Randolph street. Education, Board of. — The school law of the city was so amended by an Act of the Legisla- ture, approved March 6, 1889, as to change the composition of the board from twelve members, chosen from the city at large, to sixteen members, elected one by and from each ward, at the spring election held every alternate year, when judges of the supreme court are now required to be elected. The Act provided also that, at the spring election of the year 1889, one inspector for each ward should be elected; that those elected from the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eight wards should hold office for two years; their successors should be elected for four years, and there- after all members of said board should be elected for four years. Electric Lights.-— Detroit streets are lighted entirely by electricity, furnished by a private corporation, but the city has been given power to do its own lighting, and will probably do so in the near future. Belle Isle Park is also lighted by electricity, a plant being located on the island. Electric lights are also used in many stores and private residences. Elmwood Cemetery.— Is located on Elmwood avenue, principal en- trance at Monroe and Elmwood avenues. It is very beautifully laid out, and is well worth a visit. Fort Wayne electric cars pass it. 23 EPI-EVA Episcopal Churches.— (See Pro testant Episcopal Churches.) Estimates.— A Board of Esti- mates was created by an Act ap- proved June 24, 1887. It is consti- tuted of two members from each ward, and five members from the city at large. They are elected at the same time and manner as the aldermen, and hold office for the same period. The members from the wards must have the same gen- eral qualifications as the aldermen. The five members at large are elected every alternate year. The members of the board receive three dollars as compensation for each daily session. The ex-officio members of the board are the President and Chair- man of the Committee on Ways and Means of the Common Council, the City Controller, City Counselor, President of Board of Education, Board of Water Commissioners, Board of Police Commissioners, Board of Poor Commissioners, Presi- dent of Fire Commissioners, the senior members of Board of Inspect- ors of the House of Correction, and of the Board of Public Works. The ex-officio members have the right of participation in the deliberations of the board, but cannot vote. The board elect a president from their members, and the city clerk is ex- officio the Secretary of the board. The board must act upon the gen- eral city estimates and all other measures for the raising of money, whether by tax, levy, or by the issu- ing of bonds. The board may de- crease or disapprove, but cannot in- crease the amount proposed to be raised. Only the amount approved by the Board of Estimates can be raised.

Ferry Boats. — Detroit now has a very fine fleet of ferry boats, and there is no other city in the world where so much can be had for so little money, and the hundreds of thousands of people who patronize them annually is proof of this fact. See time table below: . WEEK DAYS. First boat leaves Windsor 6.00 a.m. " Detroit 6.15 " Every 15 minutes to 7 a. m.

Fire Department.— The fire de- partment is under the control and management of the Fire Commission, a board composed of four members, created by act of the Legislature. The said commissioners having con- trol and management of all officers, men, property, measures and action for the prevention and extinguish- ment of fires within the city of Detroit, and empowered and direct- ed to possess and exercise fully and exclusively all the powers, and per- form all the duties for the govern- ment, management, maintenance and direction of the fire department. The terms of office of the com- missioners are four years, one ex- piring each year. They are ap- pointed by the common council on the nomination of the mayor. The fire commissioners receive no pay for their services, the office being purely honorary and non-partisan. The commission was organized April 1, 1867, since which time the fire department has been under its control and management. The fire department comprises the following apparatus: Eighteen steam fire engines, manned and equipped, one of these being a marine company or fire-boat; six chemical companies, manned and equipped; eight hook and ladder trucks, manned and equipped; five supply wagons. In Reserve, Without Com- panies. — One first-class steam fire engine and equipment; two second- class steam fire engines and equip- ment; two hose carts equipped with hose; one hose wagon equipped with hose. This apparatus is kept in readiness for instant use. Fire Insurance. —Detroit has the lowest rate of fire insurance of any city in the United States. This is undoubtedly owing to a large extent to the excellent fire service, which is second to none in the world. Rates of insurance for business places range from 75c. to $1 per hundred yearly, and for residences from 40c. to 50c. per hundred for three years. Fish Hatchery (United States)— Is located at the cor. of Jos. Campau avenue and Champlain street, and is open to visitors from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Fort Wayne electric cars pass it.

The flats, in Lake St. Clair, is one of the greatest fishing places in this country, and is easily reached in a few hours* ride. Fishing Clubs.— Most Detroiters are very much interested in fishing, but the fame of Detroit and vicin- ity, as regards fishing, has grown to such proportions that it has been practically impossible to confine the membership of fishing clubs to Detroit and vicinity, many of the members of Detroit clubs living from 50 to 1,000 miles from Detroit. The principal clubs are: Detroit Fishing and Hunting As- sociation. Interlaken Club. Lake St. Clair Fishing and Shoot- ing Club. Lake Shore Fishing and Shooting Club. Michigan Fishing and Shooting A.ssociation Old Reliable Rod and Gun Club„ L A— GAS 26 Flats (St. Clair) — Is located about 20 miles from the head of the De- troit river, and is a very popular hunting and fishing resort. Many fine club houses, summer hotels and private residences are erected there. Flowers — Are never scarce in Detroit, as there are several large green-houses located here, to say nothing of the many private con- servatories. The majority of those who own green-houses have a down town office or conservatory, where flowers of all kinds and for all occa- sions may be obtained. The address of the principal ones of these is: John Breitmeyer & Sons, cor. Gratiot and Miami avenues; Detroit Floral Co., John R. street, near Harper Hospital; B. Schroeter, Elmwood avenue and Champlain street. The cheaper class of flowers may be found in abundance at the different markets. Forest Lawn Cemetery.—This is the newest of the Protestant cemeteries, and is intended to meet the needs of the northern and eastern portions of the city. The cemetery is located on the line of the Grand Trunk Railway and the Norris Plank road, 5^ miles from the City Hall. It comprises 100 acres of land, admirably suited for the pur- pose. The land is rolling, and about half of it is covered with small trees and shrubbery. Diagon- ally across the grounds runs a brook with high banks, which will furnish unsurpassed vault sites. A gothic entrance building and a vault have been erected. A cindered and graveled driveway is completed entirely across the grounds. The projectors are confident that the public will agree with them in thinking that the best possible loca- tion for a cemetery has been chosen, and that the work that has been put upon the grounds is thorough and in good taste. Fort Wayne— Is located four miles west of the city hall, on the bank of the Detroit river, and is reached by Fort Wayne electric cars. It is a picturesque and interesting jjlace to visit; from its elevated ram- parts an elegant view of the river- and shipping can be obtained; oppD^ site is the ancient village of Bani-* wich, Can., and looking up the river {bo the east) one can see Wind- sor and Walkerville, Can., and at the head of the river, some eight miles awa}^, can be dimly seen the beautiful Belle Isle park, set in the centre of the river like an emerald in blue enamel. Freemasonry.— The headquarters of Freemasons in Detroit are at the Consistory on Lafayette avenue, near First street, and in the Wayne County Savings Bank building, Congress street west, near Griswold street. Meetings are held ever}*- evening except Saturday at both places. Free Sons of Israel Cemetery. — Located on Section E, Woodmere cemetery, and owned by the Society of Free Sons of Israel. (See Wood- mere cemetery.) Farnitnre. — Few cities in the United States offer equal advan- tages for purchasing furniture as Detroit, situated as it is so near the great furniture manufacturing cen- tre, and possessing several furniture factories, which are second to none. Furniture may be purchased for cash, or on weekly or monthly pay- ments, on any of the principal avenues. Gas— Is furnished Detroit and vicinit}^ by the Detroit Gas Co., office located on Congress street west, near Griswold street. The 37 GAS-HAL company furnishes meters, requir- ing a small deposit from strangers for the use of the same. The p^ice for illuminating gas is $1.25 per 1,000 feet, and for natural or fuel gas 29 7-10 cents per 1,000 feet. Grace Hospital. — Was incorpor- ated November 28, 1888; opened for patients December 6th, 1888. The worthy poor of Detroit, if not incur- able or contagious, are treated free. Visitors are welcomed on Tuesdays and Fridays, 2.00 to 4.00 p.m., and on Sundays from 1.15 to 3.15 p.m. There is an ambulance and free dis- pensary connected with the hospi- tal. Grand Circus Park— A public park of about six acres, bounded by Park street, Witherell street, Adams avenue, and Woodward avenue run- ning through the centre. The park itself abounds with fine shade trees, has two fountains, and in summer is a pleasant and favorite place, with residents and strangers stopping in the vicinity. The Woodward avenue electric cars pass it. Gratiot Ayenue— Is one of the main arteries of business in Detroit. It is crowded with people and vehicles of all kinds from early morning until late in the evening. Grosse Isle— Is beautifully situ- ated on the American side of the main channel of the Detroit river, and is about 73^ miles in extreme length, with an average breadth of about 1}4 miles, and contains about 10 square miles, or 6,400 acres. The river below the island is some four miles wide, opening out into Lake Erie, six miles away. The cooling breezes of lake and river, together with its arrable soil and the vernal shade of native trees, make this an ideal spot for "hummer homes. Many of the substantial men of De- troit spend their summer here. Grosse Pointe— Is located about 7 miles out Jefferson avenue, and has a number of fine summer resi- dences, which were built and are occupied by wealthy Detroiters.

For this purpose the society has had built an ambulance expressly for sick and injured horses. Sub- scribers may use the ambulance whenever necessary without charge, except the subscription fee, which is quite small. Non-subscribers must pay for each time the ambu- lance is used.

Labor Organizations.— Like all large cities where there are a. num- ber of trades unions, Detroit has fallen into line, and has its council of trades and labor unions. The present trades council, as it is com- monly known, was organized in 1880, when a few earnest workers among the trades people started the movement for a central body of trades. Little did the founders dream that their modest initiativ^e would lead to such a powerful or- ganization as it is to-day. Nor did the}^ imagine tliat the organization would assume the functions of a body having for its object the pro- motion of union principles in gen- eral, organizing and championing the interests of the wage workers, and elevating their condition mor- ally, intellectually and socially. In 1865 a central body, called the Trades Assembly, was organized, but disbanded in 1878 A year later it was re-organized under the name of the Labor League. This was also short lived, and in 1880 the present council was organized. Like most labor organizations many obstacles were encountered. It started with nine unions and in- creased to twenty, when it became popular to belong to the Knights of Labor, and the roll came down to seven unions. It soon became evident, however, that open organization was the best form of a working-class organiza- tion, and the different unions sur- rendered their K. of L. charters, and once more became trade unions. Within the last few years the council has grown rapidly, and at the present time there are 40 dis- tinct and separate unions connected with it, representing, at a low estimate, over 10,000 organized workingmen. The council is also affiliated with the American Feder- ation of Labor and the Michigan State Federation of Labor. The council now has a large and commodious hall in the Hilsendegenll block on ]\[onroe avenue, handsomely* furnished, together with a library. All the daily papers are on file, and also the various labor papers and industrial journals and leading magazines. This room is open to the members of the various unions and also to the public generall3\ The oldest labor organizations in the council are the printers, iron molders and cigarmakers. They also rank the largest in membership. The meetings of the council are held every alternate Thursday, and are open to the public. The press of the city also give good and accur- ate accounts of the deliberations. It may not be amiss to say that the delegates always take a lively inter- est in public affairs, and fearlessly champion the rights of the masses in all questions affecting their welfare in municipal and slate aff'airs, and keep their respective unions posted in such matters. They are also un- flinching in their support of and loyalt}" to the principles of unionism. The Central Labor Union of the city comprises the German labor organizations, who also have done much towards bettering the condi- tion of the working classes. Lecsville — Is located about six miles out Gratiot avenue, and is reached by street cars from Detroit. Licenses— Are issued by the mayor, after receiving a certificate from the secretary of the Metro- politan police that the fees therefor are paid. Lodgings. — (See Rooms.)

Lyceum Theatre.— Is located cor* Randolph and Champlain streets, and is a very neat and cosy place to spend an evening. There is nearly always some standard play on the board during the season. Manufactures. — Detroit now literally sends the products of its laboratories and factories to every country on the globe, and to many islands of the sea. In several mer- cantile lines it is a larger producer than any other city. Of stoves, cars, pharmaceutical preparations and seeds, it markets more than is produced in any other city, and in the manufacture of furniture and chairs, safes, pins, tobacco, organs, white lead, oils, varnishes, matches and pearl buttons, it is, possibly, not second to any other manufactur- ing center. Other manufactures are iron and steel, steam engines and boilers, mill machinery, leather, boots and shoes, clothing, trunks, billiard tables, lumber, hoops, staves and heading, ale, beer and malt, and a good many other articles. These facts clearly indicate its importance and prosperity as a leading labor centre, and the output of its factor- ies increases steadily from year to year. Marine Hospital (United States) — Is located cor. Jefferson and Mt. Elliott avenues. Markets. — Central market is un- der the control of the city, on the block bounded by Cadillac square. Bates and Randolph streets. Stalls which may become vacant for any reason whatever ar^ leased by per- mit to the first eligible applicant without other charge than the rental.

Michigan College of Medi- cine AND Surgery, 7-9 Porter street. Merchants' and Manufactur- ers' Exchange.— The Merchants' and Manufacturers' Exchange of Detroit was organized in 1878, and has grown to be one of the most im- portant business associations in the west. The organization was com- pleted on the 26th day of March, in the year named, 82 members sign- ing the constitution on that day. Since that time the Exchange has so increased that it now,, numbers among its members a very large MER— MET i proportion of the manufacturers and jobbers of Detroit. It has not only- kept pace with the commercial growth of Detroit, but has con- stantly gone in advance and so pre- pared the way that the business of the city might reach out to new fields by new methods. The objects of the Exchange are many. It seeks to maintain a high and exact standard of business morality among the thousands of dealers who buy in Detroit, and to guard against fraud and imposition. By the interchange of information among its members they are in- formed of any tardiness, irregular- ity, neglect, or positive dishonesty on the part of any customer of an individual member. As nearly every merchant in the whole region tributary to Detroit has dealings with members of the Exchange, this serves to give a system of re- porting more exact and reliable than is possible for a commercial agency to supply. It is not only toward delinquent buyers that the efforts of the Exchange is directed. It is quick to recognize good busi- ness qualities and honorable busi- ness methods and to protect and advertise the credit of buyers who deal exactly and pay promptly. Thus it is as valuable to the reli- able retailer as it is to its own mem- bers, and tends on every hand to foster a healthy and liberal trade spirit. However important this system may be, it is not the only, nor the broadest function of the Exchange. Nothing of importance to the inter- ests of Detroit is foreign to its aims. It takes the lead in working against unjust discrimination on the part of common carriers, and has done more than any other agency to secure equitable rates for Detroit merchants, from the railroads enter- ing the city. It is always inter- ^ ested in securing the construction of new railroads, where such are needed and seem likely to favor the interests of Detroit merchants. It has also done good service in break- ing combinations of insurance com- panies, made to exact excessive premiums, and has everywhere ar- rayed itself against every fraud and imposition which attacks the busi- ness interests of the city. Two results have followed from the work of the Exchange: first, the manufacturers and jobbers of the city have found that they can- not afford to do without the assist- ance and protection it gives; second, the various schemes which formerly bled business men as individuals have found that they cannot do so when united in so strong a combin- ation. To defy the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Exchange is to throw down the glove to the com- bined capital, shrewdness and deter- mination of the business men of Detroit, and even a railroad or in- surance pool would hesitate to do that. Messenger Service.— This is divided into three classes in Detroit. The Western Union Telegraph Co. employ 35 boys, and the Postal Telegraph Co. employ 25 boys for the exclusive purpose of gathering and delivering telegrams. The Am- erican District Telegraph Co. em- ploy 20 boys for service of all kinds, from calling for or delivering a par- cel to escorting a lady. Messengers can be summoned by telephone or messenger call boxes, which are to be found in most large business places. The post office authorities employ 8 boys for the delivery of letters having an immediate deliv- ery stamp attached.

Fort and Wayne streets, was organized in 1885 for the pur- pose of aiding the Republican party in this State, in the maintenance of its power, extension of its prin- ciples, and for the purpose of ele- vating politics and keeping political work upon a high plane. The work is done in the main by the dis- tribution of literature, holding of meetings for the discussion of politi-^ cal questions, and giving, once in* each year, a banquet to which prom- inent Republican leaders of the nation are invited and asked to speak upon the leading issues of the day. The club numbers in the neighborhood of 1,500 members^ and has been very successful in its- work. Michigan Yacht Club.— The club has a beautiful home of its own- located on the American side of Belle Isle Park. The club house is always hospitably open to members and their guests, and an invitation to any of the club entertainments i» well worth accepting. Militia of Detroit— Is composed of seven companies of infantry, averaging about 75 members to- each company, making two bat- talions, and with Company G, of Monroe, forming the 4th regiment of Michigan State troops. There is also a large band connected with the Detroit companies. Regimental headquarters are at 181 Jeffersor^ avenue, the regiment's Colonel is iiy charge at Detroit, subject to the MIL— MOU 84 Governor, who is commander-in- cliief of the State troops. Part of the 4th regiment did duty at Fort Wayne in 1877. A battahon went to Bay City at the time of the riot there, and at different times they were under arms in Detroit armories during labor troubles. The com- panies are located as follows: A and F, cor. Jefferson avenue and Randolph street; D and H, 46 Con- gress street east; C, 224 Jefferson avenue ; B and E, cor. Woodbridge and Shelby streets. The medical staff is composed of a surgeon and assistant, with hospital steward and details from each company. Com- pany drills are held weekly at the different armories during the win- ter; skeleton battalion drills are held in one of the armories in warm weather; regular regimental and battalion drills are held out doors. The State troops* conform in all re- spects, as far as possible, to U. S. Government rules and regulations, the uniform being identical, except the blouse for officers. The State troops are composed of five regi- ments, forming a bri2:ade, head- quarters of which are at Ypsilanti. The Adjutant General's office is at Lansing. Uniforms and accoutre- ments are furnished by the State Government. Milk Inspector.— June 25, 1887, an Act entitled: "An Act to prevent the sale of impure, unwholesome, adulterated or swill milk in the State of Michigan, and to provide for inspectors," was approved by the Legislature of this State. Under this Act the present Milk Inspector was appointed and began his work under the supervision of the Health Board, February 9, 1888. Mount Clemens.— One of the most delightful and probably the most famous of Detroit's many summer resorts is the City of Mt. Clemens, which is situated about 20 miles north of the city, on the Clin- ton river, a beautiful and picturesque stream that has its source among the numerous small lakes of Oak- land county, winding its sinuous course eastward through miles upon miles of grassy meadows and luxuri- ant forests. Now swiftly bubbling over stretches of rapids, then again placidly pursuing its winding course through its shady banks un- til it reaches the Lake St. Clair. It presents at once to the tourist, the artist, the hunter, and the angler, a boon to be once seen and ne'er for- got. It is, as has been often re- marked, " A thinj? of beauty and a joy forever." The City of Mt. Clemens is one of the oldest towns in the State; the earliest settling of whites in its im- mediate vicinity dating back to 1781. Up to within ten years back its growth was comparatively slow, but since then it has more than doubled its population, which at present is about 6,000. It is the county seat of JMacomb county, one of the best agricultural counties in the State. It has man}^ beautiful buildings. Its schools, four in number, are second to none in the State, both as regards ^ the personal acquirements and repu- tation of the teachers, and the solidity, beauty, safety and conveni- ence of the structures. Seven re- ligious denominations minister to the moral desires of the community, in as many churches, some of which are remarkable for their architec- tural beauty and design. A sub- stantial and commodious opera house caters to the desires of theatre goers. The many beautiful homes, with their well-kept lawns, through- out the city, at once impress the tourist with the fact that the people of Mt. Clemens are cultivated, pros-' perous and happy. The city has ample telegraph and telephone 35 MOU-MUS facilities, splendid system of electric lights and water — ^two things among many which make residence in a city desirable. Broad and well shaded streets and drives abound in and about the city. Its hotel ac- commodations are unsurpassed by any city of its size in the world. It has ten handsome^ substantial and well equipped hotels, which, with the boarding houses and private rooms, furnish ample and comfort- able accommodation for 3,000 people. While Mt. Clemens is a delight- ful resort for pleasure seekers, its fame as a health resort is world- wide. Throngs upon throngs of invalids and suffering mortals seek relief in the health giving waters of its famous mineral springs. They come on crutches, on stretchers, in wheel chairs, in pain and misery. They depart sans crutches, sans stretchers, full of life and health, thanking God that there exists such a veritable "fountain of health." Had the famous Ponce de Leon come to Michigan and sought for the fountain of youth, instead of seeking it in the flowery forests of Florida, he would have found it at Mt. Clemens, and gone hence enjoy- ing eternal youth and health, after bathing in those wonderful waters. This water possesses rare medicinal qualities not found in any other water on earth. It is a specific in all cases of blood and nervous dis- eases. Four commodious and handsome bath houses, with appointments complete, for both invalids and those taking the baths merely as a tonic, are conveniently located in different parts of the city. Detroit has communication with this beautiful resort, both by rail and water. The Grand Trunk Rail- way furnishes ample accommoda- tion by way of rail, while numerous boats make the trip by way of Lake St. Clair and up the Clinton, three miles to the city. The Gratiot Road, a graveled and planked turnpike, extending from Detroit north to ^It. Clemens, makes a beautiful drive of two liours. We have every reason to believe that ere another year has rolled by De- troit will be connected with Mt. Clemens by a motor line on the Gratiot Road. Mount Elliott Cemetery (Cath- olic). — Is located on Mt. Elliott avenue, near Champlain street, and is reached by Jefferson avenue and Fort Wayne electric cars. Additions have been made until it is now quite large; the grounds have been skill- fully arranged and present a hand- some appearance.

Orcliard Lake— Is located on the D., G. H. & M. R. R., about 30 miles from Detroit, near Pontiac, and is one of the most beautiful of the handsome chain of lakes in that vicinity. The principal place of in- terest is the Orchard Lake Military Academy, which is under U. S. Government supervision. Orion Lake— Is located on the Detroit & Bay City R. R., about 35 miles from Detroit, close to the vil- lage of Orion. It is a very popular place for excursions and campers, as it is full of small wooded islands. Orion Lake is one of the same chain of lakes as Orchard Lake. Parks.— The following is a list of parks, with acreage: Adelaide and Campau, 1.199 acres, Joseph Campau avenue, bet.

Parks and Boulerards, Com- missioners of— The commission- ers of parks and boulevards were organized under an act of the Legislature, approved May 8, 1889 (succeeding the Board of Park and Board of Boulevard Commissioners, abolished by said act), and were given the control and management of the boulevard, and Belle Isle and other city parks. The com- mission consists of four resident electors, appointed by the common council on the nomination of the mayor; their appointment is for a term of four years, and they serve without compensation. Pawnbrokers— Are compelled by law to give bonds for $1,000, and pay a license of $200 per year. They are also required to report daily to the police all articles received by them in pawn. Picnic Grounds.— Xo city in the world can boast of more numerous or more pleasant places to picnic than Detroit has, within easy reach either by land or wat^r, the' cost of reaching them ranging from 10 PIC—POO cents to $1, according to distance. Following is a list of the more prominent places : Belle Isle Park, Grosse Pointe, Sugar Island, St. Clair Flats, Grosse Isle, Put-in-Bay, Orion Lake, Des-Chree-Shos-Ka Orchard Lake, Walpole Island, Oak Grove, and many other places too nim[ier- ous to mention. Police.— The Metropolitan police force of the City of Detroit was or- ganized by an act of the Legislature, approved February 28th, 1865, and entered upon its duties on the 15th day of May, 1865, under the direc- tion of a board of commissioners, created by said act, who were vested with the entire control of the police force of the city. The com- missioners receive no salary or com- pensation for their services. Since the 1st day of July, 1892, the board of Metropolitan police of the City of Detroit has been composed of four electors and freeholders of said city, appointed by the mayor. The members of the first board, organ- ized under the new act, hold office for one, two, three and four years respectively. The police depart- ment comprises: Four captains, 24 sergeants, 29 roundsmen, 307 patrol- men, 21 doormen. Besides the headquarters build- ings, which contain the central station, there are ten other station houses, which are connected with headquarters, as follows: Woodbridge street, near Wood- ward avenue. Canfield avenue, near Chene street. Fremont street, near Woodward avenue. Gratiot avenue and Russell street. Elmwood avenue, near Cham- plain street. Trumbull avenue and Michigan avenue. Twentieth street, near Michigan avenue. River street, near Twenty-fourth street. Scotten avenue, near Lafayette place. Grand River avenue and Twelfth street. Yinewood avenue, near Michigan avenue. And a sub -station on Belle Isle. I Pontiac— Is located on D., G. H. & M. R. R., about 25 miles from Detroit. It is one of the handsomest cities of its size in Michigan. Many Detroiters make their suburban home there during the summer. Orchard Lake Military Academy is easily reached from Pontiac. Pontiac Insane Asylum is located about two miles from the city, I Poor Commission.— The Legis- lature of 1879 abolished the office of Director of the Poor, and created the Board of Poor Commissioners instead. The board is composed of four members who shall serve with- out compensation. They have full charge of all matters appertaining to the care of the poor, and have power under the act to purchase and distribute provisions, clothing, fuel, medicines, etc., and may re- ceive and disburse donations, and act in conjunction with any society or organization for charitable pur- poses. The board have also the disbursement of the County Tem; porary Relief Fund within the cit; The Legislature of 1885 passed act making the commissioners me bers of the Board of County Supe: intendents of the Poor, which givei the city a majority representation in the management of the County, House and Asylum at Wayne. Thi^ act was declared constitutional b; the supreme court, e.j.d the boai is now acting imder i s provisioi ^r MUJNiUiFAJL COURT BUILDlNCi, Cor. Clinton and Raynor Sts. P00-P03 The commissioners are appointed by the common council on the nomination of the mayor, and their term of office is four years. An act of the Legislature, approved May 29, 1891, gives the board authority on the second Tuesday in June of each year to appoint three or more city physicians.

It will be the largest and hand- somest building in"^ Detroit when completed, costing: upwards of 11,500,000. The postoffice at pres- ent is located corner Griswold and Lamed streets, and^the annex is lo- cated next to it on Larned street.

Postal Facilities.— Stations of THE Detroit Pos ioffice. — Station A, Xo. 745 Woodward avenue, near corner of Alexandrine avenue. Station B, No. 807 Michigan avenue, near Humboldt avenue. Station C, No. 1212 Jefferson avenue, near Belt Line. At these stations letters are regis- tered, money orders and postal notes issued and paid, and postal supplies sold. Carriers report at and depart from these stjitions; in short, they POS— POS 40 furnish the public in their vicinity all the facilities obtainable at the general office, with this exception: no special delivery messengers are as yet assigned there. Stations are open for the trans- action of business from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. week days, and on Sundays for the delivery of mail and the sale of stamps, etc., from 12 m. to 1 p.m. Sub-Stations. — Hamtramck sub- station, corner Crane and Jefferson avenues Gratiot avenue sub-station, at M. C. R. R. Belt Line station, Gratiot avenue, near Beaufait. Pallister avenue sub-station, 1484 Woodward avenue. Grand River avenue sub-station, first toll gate Grand River avenue. West Detroit sub -station, Amos House, West Detroit. River Road sub-station, on River Eoad, cor. Military avenue. , At these stations stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards, special de- livery stamps, etc., may be pur- chased, and letters registered. Mail may be left there on call, also, as the purpose of their establishment is principally for the convenience of persons residing outside the free delivery by carriers. No carriers make delivery from these stations, nor are money orders issued or cashed at them. Carrier Delivery. — Carriers are required to be prompt in mak- ing deliveries, to be courteous in their intercourse with the public, to deliver no mail matter except to the persons addressed or to their author- ized agents (which includes servants, clerks, housekeepers, janitors and others, to whom such deliveries are recognized as valid by the ad- dressees), to receive all prepaid letters, postal cards and small pack- ages handed them for mailing while on their routes, and to collect the postage due on any mail matter de- livered by them. Those assigned to duty on certain suburban dis- tricts are permitted to keep a limited number of postage stamps for sale to the public. Carriers are not per-, mitted to deliver any mailable mat-i ter which has not passed througUw the postoffice, to exhibit, or to give information concerning any mail matter to persons other than those addressed, to engage in any private business (on their own account or for others) during their hours of official duty, to offer for sale or to deliver (except as mail matter)! tickets or others articles, to issu^ New Year's or other addresses or cards, to solicit gifts of money or goods, to borrow money on their routes or contract debts which they are unable to pay, or deliver mail matter at unoccupied premises or on the street (except to persons known by them to be authorized to receive it). Carriers are not re- quired to deliver packages the weight or bulk of which would tend to delay the delivery of letters or other mail matter. When such packages are received for delivery, notice is sent to the addressees toi send or call for them at the post-1 office. * On Sundays mail is delivered on call at the carriers' windows, both at the general office and stations, be- tween 12 m. and 1 p. m. Collec- tions are made by all carriers from the boxes as they deliver on their trips. Collections are made by collectors with carts (in addition to those made by the carriers as they deliver) six times daily. Collectors leave the office at 6 a. m., 8.45 a.m., 12m., and 2.45, 5.15, 6.15 and 9.15 p. m. in the business portion of the city. Collections are also made at the principal hotels by collectors leav- ing the office at 5 a. m., 8.30 p. m. and 9.15 p. m. 41 P0S-P03 The general collection by cart is made within the mile and a half radius from the City Hall, begin- ning at 10.45 a. m., of such boxes as are not included in the 12 m. col- lection, the carriers reaching the oflBce at 1 p. m. This collection is repeated in the evening, the collect- ors leaving the oflSce at 6.15 and returning at 8.45 p.m. A collection is made every night in the week, excepting Saturday night, from all of the street letter boxes in the city, the collectors reaching the office at 5 a. m. Mail matter, deposited in any street let- ter box before 10.30 p. m., will therefore be taken up in time for dispatch by all early trains leaving after 5 a. m. and for first delivery by carriers in all parts of the city. On Sundays one general collection ' of the boxes throughout the city is made, the collection commencing at 2.30 p. m., and reaching the office at 5.15 p. m. A collection from the principal hotels is made on Sun- days at 9 a. m., 2.30 p. m. and 8 p. m. Collections and deliveries on legal holidays are subject to such changes as the law prescribes or the post- master may direct. Notice of changes are always announced in t-he daily papers. Suggestions. — Expediting Car- riers' Deliveries. — Carriers are re- quired to deliver mail matter at stores, offices, or other business premises occupied by the persons addressed, in all cases where such deliveries are demanded; but per- sons occupying offices or stores on upper floors (especially in business buildings where elevators are not used) will greatly facilitate the work of the carriers by providing lock-boxes or other suitable means for the delivery of their mail matter on the first floor. This is, of course, not compulsory; but it is obyious that the general adoption of such a system will expedite the receipt of mail by all persons located on any carrier's route. For the same reason it is strongly recommended that boxes be affixed inside the doors of private residences, with openings through which carriers may deposit mail matter therein, and that at ** apartment houses" boxes be pro- vided for the purpose on the first floors. In all these cases a signal (by ringing door bell or otherwise) may be given by the carrier when delivery is made. When this plan is not adopted, however, the carrier, after ringing or knocking, is bound to wait a proper time for the ap- pearance of some person to receive letters, etc., but must not delay the mail matter of other persons on his route by waiting for an unreason- able time. The schedule of carriers' deliveries is necessarily a fixed one, and the trips are so arranged as to secure the closest possible connec- tion with mail arrivals (both inland and local) and with the collections from the street letter boxes. The routes are so served as to suit, as far as possible, the convenience of the majority of those residing or doing business thereon; but simultaneous delivery to all is not practicable, and those located on the more dis- tant points of a route cannot reason- ably expect deliveries as early as those made nearer to the starting point. On routes in business dis- tricts it sometimes happens that a few persons report that the first delivery reaches their premises be fore they are opened for business, but that they are unwilling to wait for the second delivery. In these cases the obvious and only remedy is to provide a box attached to the outer door, and connecting with an opening therein, through which mail may be delivered by carriers on the first trip. POS— POS 42 Special Delivery. —The law establishiDg the special delivery system provides for the issue of a special stamp, of the face valuation of ten cents, which, when attachea to a letter or package (in addition to the lawful postage thereon), will entitle such a letter or package to immediate delivery within the car- rier limit of a free delivery office between the hours of 7 a. m. and 11 p. m., and within a radius of one mile from any other postoffice, by messengers, who, upon delivery, will procure receipts from the par- ties addressed, or some one author- ized to receive them. Deliyery. — ^ Sunday Special Up to 11 a. m. General Delivery. — The gen- eral delivery is primarily designed for the delivery of the mail matter of transient residents and casual visitors; and permanent residents (except for special reasons) should not make use of it by having their correspondence so addressed; one reason for this suggestion being the possibility of the delivery of their letters, etc., to transient residents bearing the same names. All mail matter bearing no street or box address (and the proper addresses for which are not known and can- not be found in the directory), and all mail matter found undeliverable at its street address (and of which the correct address is not known and cannot be found in the directory) is placed in the general delivery to await call. If bearing the name and address of the sender, with a re- quest to return within a specified time, it is, if uncalled for, returned at the expiration of that time; if no particular time is named in the re- quest, or if it bears the name and address of the sender only, without request to return, it is returned at the expiration of thirty days if not previously called for. No mail mat- ter bearing senders' names, ad- dresses or requests is advertised. Rates of Postage. — The rate of postage on mail matter of the first class (sealed or unsealed) is two cents for each ounce or fraction thereof, excepting postal cards, and excepting, also, letters for local de- livery posted at a postoffice where no letter carriers are employed, in which case the rate is one cent per ounce or fraction thereof. The rate of postage on mail mat- ter of the second class, when posted by persons other than the publisher or news agents, is one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof. The rate of postage on mail mat- ter of the third class is one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. The rate of postage on mail mat- ter of the fourth class is one cent per ounce or fraction thereof , except seeds, roots, bulbs, cuttings, scions and plants, the postage on which is one cent per two ounces or frac- tion thereof. The rates of postage to the coun- tries and colonies composing the Universal Postal Union (except Canada and Mexico) are as follows: Letters, per 15 grams (3^ ounce), 5 cents; postal cards, each, 2 cents; newspapers and other printed mat- ter, per 2 ounces, 1 cent; commer- cial papers, packets not in excess of 10 ounces, 5 cents; packets in ex- cess of 10 ounces, for each 2 ounces or fraction thereof , 1 cent; samples of merchandise, packets not in ex- cess of 4 ounces, 2 cents; packets in excess of 4 ounces, for each 2 ounces or fraction thereof, 1 cent; registration fee on letters or other articles, 10 cents. Mexico.— Matter mailed in the United States, addressed to Mexico, is subject to the same postage rates and conditions as it would be if it 43 POS-POS Were addressed for delivery in the United States, except ' ' commercial papers/' which may be sent at the same rates and conditions as to other Postal Union countries, and except that articles of miscellaneous merchandise (fourth class matter) not sent as bona fide trade samples, are required to be sent by " parcels post,'' and that the following arti- cles are absolutely excluded from the mails without regard to the amount of postage prepaid, or the manner in which they are wrapped, viz.: All sealed packages, other than letters in their usual and ordinary form; all packages (including pack- ages of second class matter, which weigh more than 4 pounds 6 ounces) except such as are sent by * ' parcels post;" liquids, pastes, confections, and fatty substances, publications which violate any copyright law of Mexico. Single volumes of printed books, in unsealed packages, are trans- missible to Mexico in the regular mails without limit as to weight. Bona fide trade samples are trans- missible to Mexico in the regular mails at the same rate and on same conditions as to other postal union countries. Canada. — Matter mailed in the United States, addressed to Canada, is subject to the same postage rates and conditions as it would be if it were addressed for delivery in the United States, except ''commercial papers," which may be sent at same rates and conditions as to other postal union countries, and except that the following articles are absolutely excluded from the mails, without regard to the amount of postage prepaid or the manner in which they are wmpped, viz. : All sealed pack'ages other than letters in their usual and ordinary form; all packages (except single volumes of printed books and pack- ages of second class matter), which weigh more than 4 pounds 6 ounces; publications which violate any copy- right law of Canada. Kegistered Letters and Par- cels. — Any article of the first, third or fourth class of mail matter may be registered at any postoffice in the United States. The fee on registered matter, domestic or foreign, is 10 cents for each letter or parcel, to be affixed in stamps, in addition to the postage. Full prepayment of postage and fee is required. Two or more letters or parcels addressed to, or intended for, the same person, cannot be tied or otherwise fastened together and registered as one. Every letter presented for regis- tration must first be fully and legi- bly addressed and securely sealed by the sender, and all letters and other articles must also have the name and address of the sender en- dorsed thereon in writing or print before they can be registered. Postmasters and their employees are forbidden to address a registered letter or package for the sender, to place contents therein, or to seal it, or to aflfix the stamps thereto; this, in all cases, must be done by the sender. Registered mail matter can only be delivered to the addressees in person or on their written order. All persons calling for registered matter should be prepared to furn- ish reasonable proof of their iden- tity, as it is impossible otherwise, at large postoffices. to guard against fraud. Safety is considered before celer- ity in the transmission of registered mail; and delays are sometimes necessary to secure prompt receipts at points of transfers, and due allowance must be made by those mailing such matter, and those to whom it is addressed, as regis- POS-POS u tered mails cannot be handled with the same dispatch as ordinary mail matter. A return receipt, signed by ad- dressee, and showing delivery, is returned to the sender of each domestic registered letter or parcel, for which service there is no extra charge. Letters and packages containing money or articles of value should be registered, and never be deposited for transmission by ordinary mails.

Public Library.— The Detroit public library v^as first opened to tlie public in the old Capitol build- ing, (late High School building), on the 25th day of March, 1865, with 8,864 volumes. It was opened in the present building on the 22d day of January, 1877, with 33.604 vol- umes. The number of volumes on hand on the 1st day of January, 1893, was 115,661. the use of the library during the first year of its existence was 4,700 volumes. The use during the first year of the occu- pancy of the present building was 160,000, and during the last year it was about 600,000, or an average use of every book in the library up- wards of five times during the year. This constant use wears out more than a thousand volumes every year. These are replaced, so far as possible, by new copies of the same books. An excellent catalogue of the en- tire library is now in use. This is kept up to date as new books are added, so that it is possible to find out at once whether any given book is in the library or not. The library is closely connected with the University Extension sys- tem, and special books are furnished and special facilities are given to students in these courses, as well as to persons connected with other reading circles. For this use of the library more room is demanded, and measures are now on foot looking to an enlargement ©f the building by erecting, on the front portion of the lot, a structure which shall be a credit to the city and serve its pur- poses for many years to come. Public Works, Board of.— This board, established by request of the common council, by an amendment of the city charter, ap- proved April 29, 1873, consists of three members, nominated by the mayor, and confirmed by the com- mon council. The board is vested with control and supervision of the paving, repaving, cleaning, repair- ing, grading, working and improv- ing of all streets, alleys, avenues and public grounds; the construction, altering and repairing of public wharves, docks, bridges, culverts, receiving basins, sewers and water courses; the laying of all side and cross walks; the construction of all drinking or ornamental fountains; the erection of all public buildmgs and works of the corporation, with- out the power, however, of chang- ing the plans or specification of such work when once adopted. They report to the common council on the progress of any work, and all bills must be submitted to the said common council, who will then authorize the controller to draw his warrant therefor. The board took charge of all public worlds as above partially enumerated on the first day of January, 1874, and the oflSces of street commissioners, overseers of highways, city surveyor, the board of sewer commissioners, commis- sioners on plan of the city, and all other oflScers whose duties are now performed by the Board of Public Works, were abolished from and after the third Tuesday of January, 1874.

Riding Clnb.— The Detroit Rid- ing Club was organized during the season of 1891-2, at the suggestion of one of the oldest members of the New York Riding Club. The Club secured the Princess Rink, which was one of the largest buildings of its kind in the city, and fitted up stables for 41 horses, and one of the largest rings in the country, alsa very convenient club rooms, witt dressing rooms and lockers for botli ladies and gentlemen. The Club haj proven very popular with the besi people in the city. Many of oui most prominent people take advan tage of it as valuable education foi the young people and children in the art of horseback riding. The ClulJ has a membership of 150, and the opening of the season, October 1st, they expect to inaugurate a gooc many new features, in the way oi classes in cavalry tactics, tandem driving, and bare-back riding. The Club were so successful with theii horse show, which was the first oi the kind ever given in Detroit thai they have in preparation another f oi next season on a very much largei sc^le. The season is from Octobe; 1st to May 1st, during which tim< the school is open for classes fron 9 to 12 A. M., and 2 to 4 p. M., an evenings from 7: 30 to 10, except ing Wednesday and Saturday, whicl are reserved for regular Club riding A great man}^ of our business anc professional men, who are members ride in the ring during the winte; and unpleasant weather, from 4 to ( p. M. It is the best exercise one cai take. The membership fee is |oO and dues $30 per year. Rogues' Gallery.— The Roguea Gallery has been thoroughly revised a large number of ** deads" and du plicates weeded out, and the whol^ including both home and foieigi photographs, indexed. Number o; 49 ROG-ROM photographs, home, 1694; number of photographs, foreign, 825. The adoption of the American Bertillon System for measuring pris- oners — a system unerring in the posi- tive identification of a person once subjected to its test, also, the photo- graphing of criminals, and others who are taken into custody and whose faces find a place in the Rogues' Gal- lery — previously done outside of the department — is now performed with- in the walls of Headquarters Build- ing. By this method much time and an- noyance is saved, and the subjects so photographed are less likely to be- come obstreperous, and submit more readily to the process than when compelled to be taken through the streets, in the custody of an oflacer, to a photograph gallery as hereto- fore. This part of the department serv- ice is under the immediate direction of the chief clerk in the Superintend- ent's ofiice, an experienced and prac- tical photographer, and the introduc- tion of photography into the build- ing is one of the new features which has from the beginning, been a sue. cess and not an experiment. With increased facilities for the work in hand, the cost to the depart- ment of producing its own pictures ■ of criminals can be reduced to the minimum, and results reached second to none obtained by other depart- ments of police throughout the coun- try, of which there are a number operating a like system.

Those who prefer the large retail stores will find them on Woodward avenue and vicinity. The wholesale houses will be found mostly on lower Jefferson avenue and vicinity.'.^ An interesting place for business men to visit is Griswold street, the Wall 51 SIG-STR street of Detroit, especially at the time of closing the clearing house, as that is usually the liveliest part of the day.

All vessels passing to or from Chicago and the east must go and 'come by way of the Detroit river, and at times the scene is a very interesting one.

The Western Union, located corner Gris- wold and Congress streets, and The Postal Telegraph Co. , located corner Griswold street and Lafayette ave. The competition of the two compa- nies keep rates lower than they would be if there were only one. Telephone, Long Distance.— Perhaps the most wonderful thing in this progressive age is the rapid development of the art of telephony. Since the introduction of the tele- phone, less than twenty years ago, it has been made almost perfect. About eight years ago the first ex- periments in long distance telephon- ing were made, and to-day it is pos- sible to talk with people at a distance of 1,000 miles, and the conversation is as intelligible as if the two persons were speaking in the same room. The six telephone booths are all adjoining, but as the partition wall3 and doors are made double thick- nesses, the booths are absolutely TEL— THE 68 sound-proof. The office is elegantly equipped and thoroughly conveni- ent. The long distance telephone was opened to the Detroit public on Feb. 18, 1893, Edward D. Trowbridge, manager, and is located at the corner of Griswold and Larned streets. The charge is $2.00 for -Q-ve minutes. Xo charge is made in case the per- son telephoning is unable to get the man he wants. Appointments to talk are made without charge. The company has a night rate— half rate — from 6 p. m. to 8 a. m. Eastern states, notably in New England, New York and Pennsylva- nia, are gridironed with metallic lines connecting with the long dis- tance lines. These lines are adapted for longdistance work, and' through them can be reached hundreds of points not on the regular long dis- tance lines. The Michigan Bell Com- pany has a first-class metallic circuit to Port Huron and another to Wyan- dotte, Trenton and Grosse He, and more are being built throughout the state. The American Telephone & Tele- graph Company's head office is at 18 Cortlandt street, New York. Its lines extend eastward from New York to Boston, including New Ha- ven, Hartford, Providence, Spring- field, Worcester and other important cities. Another line runs from N ew York to Buffalo via Troy, Syracuse, Rochester, etc. Still another line runs south to Philadelphia, Balti- more and Washington. The main line extends from New York w^est- ward to Milwaukee, takmg in Read- ing, Altoona, Pittsburgh, Toledo and Chicago. The Detroit line runs into the main line at Maumee, Ohio, near Toledo. Telephones. — There are about 4300 in use in Detroit, nearl}^ every business place having one; all drug stores have one, and many other re- tail stores. No one is allowed by the company to charge outsiders for the use of a 'Phone. Prices for business places range from $72 per year, within half-mile circle, up ac- cording to distance; |15 being added for every additional half mile. Resi- dences, ^50 per 3^ear within half-mile circle, with same rate of increase. ^ The offices are located at the corner f of Clifford street and Washington t avenue. Temperature. — The temperature of Detroit, as contrasted with many other cities is very even and health- ful. The following data is furnished by the local meterological bureau : Maximum temp. 101% July 17, 1887. Minimum temp. *-24% Dec. 22, 72. fMean annual temp, 48** 1'. j fMean monthly rainfall, 2.73 in. I Prevailing direction of wind, s. w. Average daily wind movement, 234 miles. Average number of rainy days per year, 153. Theatres.— During the past few years there has been a very decided change for the better in Detroit the- atricals, the result is that Detroit, unlike most other large cities, is en- tirely free from low-class theatres or music halls. Following is a list of Detroit Theatres : Detroit Opera House, Campus ^ Martins, near City Hall. German Theatre, corner Russell - , and Mullett streets. '^ Lyceum Theatre, Randolph and Champlain streets. Whitney's Opera House, Griswold street, near Michigan avenue. AVonderland Theatre in Wonder- land Musee, Woodward avenue, near Jefferson avenue. *Belo\v zero. tTaken from S ) years'' data. 69 TIT— WAR Titles.— The Register of Deeds keeps a record of all titles, deeds and contracts registered with him. His office is located in the City Hall. Heretofore all abstracts have been furnished by the Burton Abstract Agency, but the Union Trust Com- pany recently commenced the enor- mous undertaking of compiling a new record of all real estate proper- ty, going back to the original French owners. This will occupy a large force of clerks about two years. Tobacco.— Detroit is quite a to- bacco centre, there being thousands of Detroiters employed in the facto- ries of this city. The principal ones are Daniel Scotten & Co. J. J. Bagley & Co. Banner Tobacco Co. Globe Tobacco Co. American Eagle Tobacco Co. Tnrners. — There are several large Turner Societies in Detroit, mostly composed of Germans, who hold fre- quent picnics, with games and other Turner exercises. Undertakers. — Detroit has her full quota of these necessary people, and one can obtain their services at any time of the day or night. Prices range from a few dollars to several hundred, according to what is de- sired. University of Michigan— Is lo- cated at Ann Arbor, a beautiful and lively city of 15,000, located on the Michigan Central R. R., about 35 miles west of Detroit.

Water Commissioners, Board of. — Created in 1853 by act of Legis- lature at the request of the Common Council, which act was amended in 1873. The Board has the power to provide for the "completion and management of the Detroit Water Works," and for the purpose of *' supplying the City of Detroit and without the limits thereof with pure and wholesome Avater." There are five members of the Board, chosen one each year by the Common Council upon the nomina- tion of the Mayor, to serve without compensation. Water Works.— The pumping works are situated in the Water Works Park, four miles east and up the river from the City Hall, and can be reached by Jefferson ave. electric cars. Three engines, with an aggre- gate daily capacity of 78,000,000 gallons, supply the citj^with another in course of construction with a ca- pacity of 25,000,000 gallons. The average dailv quantity pump- ed in 1892 was 33*',634,554 gallons, which was 2,444,612 gallons less than that of 1887. although the population wass about 60,000 more. This was caused by, the measures introduced by the Board to restrict waste, which is principally effected by placing me- ters, over 2,100 being in use Janu- ary 1, 1893. The expense of operating the works in 1892 was less than $90,000, or about $5,000 less than in 1887. There are now over 431 miles of pipe in the city. Wayne County J dl— Is a large stone building, with high brick walls around it, and is located corner Clin- ton avenue and Raynor street. The sheriff's residence adjoins it on the west side. Whitney's Opera House— Is lo- cated on Griswold street, near Michi- gan avenue, and is a very cosy, well furnished theatre, producing popu- lar plays at popular prices during the season. Windsor is located on the Cana- dian side of the Detroit river, oppo- site the central portion of Detroit. Ferry steamers run every few min- utes daily, the jesiT around, between Detroit and Windsor. Woodmere Cemetery, located in the Township of Springwells, on Fort street west, 4% miles from the City Hall, contains 202 acres, about one-third of which has been improved and platted into burial lots; was dedicated and opened to the public July 18th, 1869. Take Fort Wayne & Belle Isle electric cars. Woodward avenue—Is the prin- cipal avenue in Detroit, starting at the river and running straight north through the city and for miles be- yond. The avenue from the river to Jefferson aveilue is occupied mostly by wholesale houses, from Jefferson avenue to High street, by large retail '^1 WAT— YAC establishments, and from High street out by magnificent churches and elegant residences, with spacious and well kept grounds. Wyandotte is a pleasant city of 10,000 population, located on the Detroit river, 10 miles southwest of Detroit. Many Detroiters have sub- urban residences in Wyandotte, and along the Electric street car line- con- necting Detroit and Wyandotte. The latter is also reached by the Michigan Central R. R., Lake Shore & Michigan Southern R. R., and insummer by a regular line of steam- ers. The principal industry at Wy- andotte is shipbuilding. Yachting is a favorite pastime in and about Detroit, the adjoining waters being admirably adapted for the purpose. A spin across Lake St. Clair to the Flats, on a moonlight night with a fair breeze, is one of the trips that are very often taken, and a trip around Belle Isle and as far as the Grosse Point light cannot be excell- ed. The cost of running a yacht, where a family or party of friends are accommodated, will compare very favorably with the board bill at any fashionable hotel. There are numerous yachts in and around De- troit, and they present a splendid sight on regatta days, when under way with all sails set. The sails on the ordinary yacht are the main- sail, staysail, jib, jibtopsail, topsail, balloon jib, spinaker and water sail. There are three yacht clubs in and about Detroit, to-wit. : The Citizens' Yachting, located at the foot of Mc- Dougall avenue, the Michigan Yacht Club, located on Belle Isle, and the Detroit Yacht Club. Of these three clubs the C. Y. A., the youngest, has the largest membership'; with a splended club house and largest number of yachts. The duties of a YAC— YOU 72 yachtsman, when under way, is to attend to the position assigned him by the captain. An important po- sition is that of steward who attends to refreshments, etc. Young Men's Christian Associa- tion. — The Young Men's Christian Association is the church at work especially in the interests of young men. It endeavors, through its four- fold work, to prevent some from go- ing wrong, to reach and save others that have gone wrong. The Mental Department has the reading room and library, lectures and evening educational classes. The Social, its various '*Interso- cialities," concerts, members' re- unions, etc. The Physical uses as fine a gym- nasium as there is in the west, with luxurious shower, sponge and plunge baths attached. The Spiritual Nature is cared for b}^ the various Bible classes and re- ligious services. The Association was organized in 1864, incorporated in 1867, and in 1887 dedicated the magnificent build- ing which it now occupies, located corner of Grand River avenue and Griswold street. S.
