 CHICAGO 
 
 THE photo-sketches which follow describe the tumultu- 
 ous life of the most cosmopolitan city in the world. 
 Within the memory of men yet living, this metropolis of 
 the Central States, now the second largest city of the 
 Western Hemisphere, was an Indian garrison. Alladin 
 waved his lamp and presto ! behold the abode of 2,000,000 
 people. 
 
 There are three grand divisions of the city viz. : the 
 North, South and West sides. These are formed by the 
 windings of the river from which the town takes its name 
 and which empties into Lake Michigan near the lower 
 western extremity of that inland sea. 
 
 Chicago is the greatest railway center in the world 
 and has five magnificent Union depots and two individual 
 ones. Its arrangements for local transportation are upon 
 a like scale of grandeur and include an elevated railroad 
 system and electric lines innumerable. 
 
 The business interests of this city of wonders embrace 
 every imaginable branch of commerce and manufacture. 
 As a grain, lumber, live stock and packing market it 
 stands supreme. 
 
 The names of the hotels is legion, for they are many. 
 Some of the leading ones are: Auditorium, Great North- 
 ern, Palmer House, Leland, Wellington, Virginia, Lexing- 
 
 ton, Metropole, Lakota, Grace, Clifton House, Atlantic, 
 Burke's, Gault, Windsor, Sherman, Lansing, Brigg's 
 House, Chicago Beach, McCoy's, Bordeaux, Brevort, Im- 
 perial, River House, Saratoga, Transit, Tremont, Vendome, 
 Victoria, Plaza, Stamford, Grand Central Station, Chicago 
 View, Kahn's. 
 
 In public halls and theatres Chicago is especially rich. 
 Among the former may be mentioned the Auditorium and 
 Central Music Hall ; and among the latter Chicago Opera 
 House, Columbia Theatre, Grand Opera House, Hay- 
 market, Hooley's, McVicker and Schiller. 
 
 Some of the largest and finest parks in the world are 
 to be found here. Indeed, a boulevard system has been 
 arranged which unites the three grand divisions, and at 
 the same time provides a continuous park driveway or 
 promenade of unprecedented beauty and extent. 
 
 The public spirit of the city is one of its characteristic 
 features. Its provisions for education are superb and its 
 University has grown as phenomenally as has Chicago 
 itself. The new Post Office, the Public Library, the Art 
 Museums and Academies of Science compare favorably 
 with similar institutions anywhere. 
 
 Other cities are children of the past. Chicago is the 
 heir of the future.
 
 THE CITY HALL AND COOK COUNTY COURT HOUSE 
 
 Are located in a huge building on the square facftlg Washington, Clark, La Salle and Randolph Straets. The cost of the building, which was erected in 1877 to 
 
 1882, amounted to $6,000,000. It is one of the chief landmarks of the city.
 
 THE ART INSTITUTE, 
 
 On Michigan Avenue is a monumental structure built of limestone, which is owned by the city of Chicago, and contains many classical and modern masterpieces 
 cf fine art. The collections are open to the public free of charge on Wednesdays and Saturdays, on Sundays and on legal holidays. 
 
 Charles L. Hutchinson is the President of the Institute.

 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, 
 
 Established about five years ago, bids fair to become the leading institution of learning in the West. It was founded by John D. Rockefeller, a New York magnate, 
 and has since received ample donations from many private sources. The endowment fund of the institution now amounts to nearly $12,000.000. Under the 
 able guidance of William R. Harper. President, the leaders of the university are perfecting a most thorough course of general and special training. The 
 institution is located on the South side, between Fifty-seventh and Fifty-ninth Streets.
 
 THE FIRST REGIMENT ARMORY, 1. N. G., 
 
 Is one of the most solid of Chicago's many stone structures. Public subscription supplied the building; fund nearly $500,000, and the site is Michigan Avenue 
 and Sixteenth Street. The First Regiment of the Illinois National Guard will occupy the building for 99 years.
 
 TilE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY. 
 
 The Public Library Building, a massive structure on Michigan Avenue and Washington Street, is Chicago's pride, and justly so. Its magnificent inside finish 
 In marble and mother-of-pearls. rare stones, etc., is a delight to the eye. In it is housed the free public library, with its adjuncts of reading, exchange and 
 catalogue rooms.
 
 THE AUDITORIUM BUILDING. 
 
 The Auditorium Building was erected by Ferdinand W. Peck in 1887-88, at a cost of $2,000,000, and consists of a magnificent hotel establishment facing 
 Michigan Avenue and Congress Street, an office building with entrance on Wabash Avenue, and the Auditorium assembly hail, which has a seating capacity of 
 7,000. On the opposite side of Congress Street, facing Michigan Avenue, there has been erected the "Auditorium Annex," an extension of the hotel. No cost 
 has been spared to make the Auditorium one of the most perfect buildings of its kind.
 
 THE PALMER HOUSE. 
 One of Chicago's leading hotels, is located on State and Monroe Streets. It was built in 1872 at a cost of $2,000,000.

 largest and most important place in 
 Minnesota and is also a great railroad 
 center. Its water power is second only to 
 Niagara. In commercial and manufactur- 
 ing importance it is renowned. Here are 
 
 lumber and especially flour mills galore. 
 
 Minneapolis is also one of the chief 
 wheat markets of the world. The hotels 
 and public squares are unexcelled, while 
 in palatial private residences it ranks 
 among the foremost cities. 
 
 The characteristic scenes and beauties 
 of the twin cities are well displayed in
