The Wingham Times, 1893-05-26, Page 5eer ?4H „''• 'WORLD'S FAIR. nrx s von vesrrofs To Tule eaten snow,. A sprightly lady correspondent writes thus to the Montreal Witness i. Chicago's older sisters and cousins Have a familiar way of criticizing her method of keeping house, They are shacked at her Palely ways,her apparent d indiife,•enee with regard to promises and her big, unprecedented plane. She is usually too busy to stop to argue with her home and foreign critics, and, not witlastaeditig she is often; misunderstood she remains genial and hospitable, isfot ready for the Fair ? Who could have clone better under the circumstan- ces ? All the bad weather in the alman- acs has been deliberately clumped down on her doorstops. Rain, snow, sleet,heil, blow, have been repeated indetinitely> while Chicago has slipped round on ice, or waded in mud, or repaired, damages. Her good humor has not deserted her even when her most generous end cher- ished ,plans for the pleasure and coo- venionce of the world have beep up't. She has tnultipliedtlier workmen, rushed day and night, and do I out of the midst of disturbed and disturbing elements and seemingly insurmountable difficul- ties has risen a city of summer palaces in which to entaetein the guests so cor- dially invited. A11 honor to her perse- verarce,ancl to the unity and harmony of those who have ,endeavored to carryout her --wishes, and,her noble plans for the education of these who may throng her streets. She is so doligent and enthusiastic getting her house in order while .caring daily for hor own immense family that we•c:an excuse her dishevelled tresses, old shoes, soiled hands, and grimy face. Some time in the near future will•come 'toter days laden with Italia's softness; bee streets will be swept and sprinkled; her houses will be resplendent with the freshness and,fragrance of summer; she avill brush back her locks and her face will emerge from toil with cheeks flushed and browned'.by the ardent kisses of prairie breezes, her oyes will ;ynarkle w=itli the lake tonic, while, dressed in magnificent :robes, she will smile a wel- come to all who draw,near to see the results of beriindefatigable labors. .Chicago might well be named a city of ;paradoxes. The usual detriments to growth or development have opeued up facilities and .advantages undreamed of elsewhere; from the devastation of etre has risen to undaunted activity and increasing greatness. - 'iflhe "oldest -inhabitant" avers•tlrat he cisme here sixty years ago when Chicago was',;just a tangle of grasses,scrub oaks and nusplee,"•with afew inlrabitents wading around in thee -earl. Now, out with your bmoaks and pencils, for he will answer all your !questions. Chicago is a thousand miles from the ocean, yet she site tut the gateway of the great lakes, a proud, mari- tinae•nueen. She .is the inter-oceaelane- tropo3ie. Nearly .tkirty railways ruu cim of the city,, divergivatto all the states, to:t;aii- eda wed to 1•lesic,'. with one eightyefive thoueaed miles •uf.railway. Two ,unused and twenty mail trains conte and go elaify, and Net year aeurly five hundred ,and twetsty-bhree uiillioa pieces of maiimatter were Irandled. Besides the mammoth city pots -Wilkes within tine city limits. Chicago ieeveuty four miles long and from four and a half to Iran and a hall miles wid.. Nearly fifty mfliioua,tif dollars have been expended on her public schools; her parks form a system conneoisd by boulevards and embraceabout two hundred acres; her generous never -failing avatar supply is taken from Lake Mielrigaa, two miles from shore, by iron cribs uiue feet in diameter. These cribs extend SO feet below the lake (•bottom and connect with the shore by tunnel, Chicago's large public library has an ex- tenelve circulation;• other libraries in the city contain over two million eight hand red thousaud books. The massive New- berry Library, now nearly oomptetad, is an extensive and rate reference library. There are between three and four hund- red churches itt the city; fiye million dol- lars are given annually for public charities and throe million more for private ones; there are nearly forty liberally -supported ulrreitable asylums and twenty-five hospi- tals and dispensaries. • Against these factors for uplifting is a vast array of opposing forces in guildaid, msthetie saloons, gambling houses and alt the ingenious devices for sin to have its way with the human heart, Into ,hie mase of hutnenity and these contending forces are pouring strangers by the hued - reds of thousands. Individual life ie to- epeeted and all necesst,ry precautions takW en for its preservation, but iudividually to not nmeb. regarded; so, my kind friend, 'when you reach the city on yout way to the Worla's Fair helot incensed if you aro handled and handed along, jssttod, yes, even jammed like the rest of the mortals about you, Tl cep et clear ilea, and a neck- et map, and learn to give a neat rising u- fleetion to your voice se yea simply minae the place you are eeekiug to the ubiquitous policemen, Always seek officials or news- boys, or step into a drug store for, Wier ,nation rather than trust to those who graciously ask to serve you, I throw out this bint for those who are not .often away from sheltered homes, 1':ilso seeks like.

These are merely suggestions to hurried people. Chicago's history is comparatively brief, so there are no:romautio,nnoss-grown'ouius to visit, but ehc'has a passion for eollect- iug relics. <ilntthe south side of the city, quite:near neighbors to each other, you wilt find the widely known "Libby Prison," biought from its southern home and re- built here. -,,John Brown's Fort" and "Uncle Torn saCabiu" are also seen by tour- ists, while .".Niagara Falls," "Battle of Gettysburg;""sJorusalern," til claim their share of attention.
