CHICAGO THE
WONDERFUL
Has Grown From a ViHage of
ond City on the Continent, and the Flfthln the World In
Seventy-five Years-Swept By Epidemics, Over
whelmed By Flood, Devastated By the Greatest Fire
in History, It Has Never Hesitated in Its Course,
Nor Lost Sight of Its Motto, "I Will."
Tho theory of tho making of the city
of Chicago, Bounds moro like a thou
I sand and Bccond tnlo told by tho queen
of dreams Schehorozado, than It does
like tho history of a nineteenth contry
! city.
Tho year 1833 began the good -work.
Bulldlng3 began to go up on nil sldos.
Tho government started tho work of
.'tutting through tho Band spit at the.
flnouth of tho rlvor In order to glvo
Jho placo a harbor, vlsaols being
obliged to anchor oulsldo and dls-
char go passongors and frolght by
boat Tho first newspapor, tho "Chi-
nntrn Ttnmnprat." was established.
Flvo thousand Indians gathered In
council on tho lake front and formally
ceded tho lands oast of tho Mississip
pi. Tho future seemed bo bright mat
a local govornmont -was felt to bo a
nocosslty, and a town organization
was offected. The election of tho
first trustees showed a population of
about 228 rotors.
Chicago grew llko tho proverbial
Screen bay treo during Its four years
of town government from August 10,
1833, to March 4, 1837, when an act
was passed Incorporating tho place
as a city.
Tho progress of those four years
was marvelous. Starting with a pop
ulation of 200 In 1833 there wore neap
ly 2000 by tho fall of 1834. A school
census of 1835 showed a population of
3279. Tho first census taken undor
tho city charter, July 1, 1S37, Gave
4170.
With Us organization as a city Chi-
ft cngo may bo Bald to havo fairly en
tered upon Its career. Thougu ii
faced ft great panic in its vory first
year, it opened a theater, bought a
atoam flro ongino, uuur, a sioamor,
and oxported Its first wheat The

city directory in '43; a power press
i In '45; a port of entry In '4C; a law
1 school and county hospital In 47. in
;1848 Chicago bogan to get in touch
i -with tho rest of tho world. That year
.tho Illinois and Michigan canal was
i opened, tho first railroad got a few
miles out of town In tho direction of
Galena, and tho first telogram ar
rived (from Milwaukee).
Tho noxt year was one to test the
jftaervo and endurance of tho thriving
i'llttlo city. The river front, ship
ping and brldgos wero wiped out uy
; a flood. Thoro was a second big fire,
a third cholera epidemic, and a bank
'panic Dut Chleago had strucK ner
gait and things like these could not
even check her. Gas. waterworks,
ernnd onera, the first through train
from the East over the ijkb anon.-
& Michigan Southern the comple
tion of tho main line of the Illinois
Central, street enrs. a paid fire de
' partment, the first swing bridge, and
. the national convention at which Lin
; coin was nominated were steps In the
development of the city up to urai.
Nowadays the dividing me Between
tho old Chicago and the new is the
great fire. The roan who can upeak
of experience "before the fire" is a
genuine Cblcagoan; the eltlsene who
came "after the fire" must have an
unusually fine moid to offset that

tal of $19G,000.000. Thoro, was a
salvage of $4,000,000 on raatorlnl
used In rebuilding. On tho other
hand, tho valuo of real estate was de
preciated $SS,000,000 and tho inter
ruption to business caused a loss of
$10,000,000, making a grand total lots
of $200,000,000. In fact nearly one
half of the wholo proporty value of
the city was destroyed. y
Following tho flro things wore done
In a large American way that gtvos
one thrills. Tho city pledged Its cred

Genornl Shorldan declared martial
law and rushed tonts and army sup

fore tho flro had burned Itself out Chi
cago was busy at tho work of rebuild,
lng. In two years a now city had
arisen from tho ruins of tho 'old and
a now oro In tho llfo of tho city had

nltoly a moro nttractlvo city, and its
unoquallcd display of public spirit
and enorgy brought to It hundreds of
thousands of new citizens from all
parts of tho world. It grow fastor
than over, practically doubling its
population of 224,000 in tho noxt dec

In 1890 work on the Chicago drainage
canal a trifling matter of ton yoars'
work and $35,000,000 Chicago cast
about for something that should real

In the World's Columbian exposition.
Chicago bid successfully for tho
World's Fair, and again astonished
the world by the beauty of tho White
City and the completeness of the ox
hlbltlcn Itself. The dost of tho fair
exclusive of the vast sums expended
by exhibitors from all parts of the
world, was ovor $38,000,000 and near
ly as many visitors passed through Its
gates. It was a verltablo triumph for
Chicago. Up to that tlmo no one had
doubted the city's wealth, enorgy and
ability to do groat. things In a mater
ial way. But thenceforth tho sneer
that Chleago was little more than an
oxtended stock yard was heard no
more.

To becomo wealthy after Jiving In

tuno ot Mrs. Elizabeth Wright, now of

comes from tho man who hated hor,
and whom sho dosplBed beyond all

centric mlsor of Putnam, Conn.
For 35 years the wife of a poor
Btonecutter, and on his death com
polled to earn hor own living by
housowork and other manlal labors;
too proud to seek charity from moro
fortunnto relatives and ablo to port
form only tho least remunerative la

ot hardships.
Mrs. Wright was soen this morning

tho funeral of my husband ho

It was no Intontion of tho eccentric
man that any of his money should gc

A few weeks ago Bhe began to hear

making tho most grotesque prepara

no disposition of his property.
"It ho could have devised any way
of taking bis money to the grave with
him ho certainly would," said Mrs.
Wright p'utnam is full of the stories
