G LORIES THAT FADED |
ALAMENT TO THE PASSING OF THE OLD STONE HOUSES.
Once the Mansions of the Wealthy, Now
Given Over to Dog Hospitals, Boarding The Grand Front Steps Are Crumbling Away.
Houses and the Like
Time was, and it was a long time ago, when the stone front houses of the city were the residences of the very best people, und none but the well to doand eminently respectable occupied them. They were tall buildings and, although they were consid- cred in those days quite the thing in the rect architecture, they present modern trained eye the appearance of stone barracks and are exceedingly un- beautiful. In those days they enjoyed the
way of ecr
to the
distinction of being planted in the midst of spacious grounds, and they looked
down upon their frame with a haughty and self conscious pride. Their rooms—and here they enjoy a marked advantage over the modern built
built neighbors
dwelling—were and are equipped with high ceilings and generous proportions of and width, and instead of their
halls being only large enough to accommo- date an attenuated hall tree, they were built high and wide, spacious to a degree, and were adapted as semireception rooms. Their parlors were adorned with beautiful paintings, their floors were covered by the most expensive carpets, their high and deep windows were draped with the finest ef curtains, and in many instances the ceil- ings of these residences were handsomely and artistically decorated and ornamented by skilled artists.
The outside of these houses, with the square blocks of dull yellow, brown, gray and recdish brown fronting the street, Was uniformly hideous. Running
stone
from the house to the street were, asa rule, long flights of stone steps. On these
steps the owners of the residences were in the habit of gathering on Sabbath after. noons and evenings to discuss the passers- by and gossip the hoursaway. This habit of taking to the front steps of Sunday aft- ernoons and evenings has not entirely died out of Chicago circles, notwithstanding the envious and malignant sneers of certain polyglot eastern newspapers.
In these old residences many weddings were solemnized, and from them were borne to the cemeteries the last of all that was mortal of a number of Chicago’s old time and famous citizens. And then came progress, bringing in its train new ideas as regarded the eternal fitmess of things architectural, ard the stylesin houses were turned topsy turvy. People began to build houses with an idea of beauty on the out- side as well as of interior, and just as soon as this innovation was begun the old stone front residence went to the background immediately, for its exterior was grew some to a degree. The idea of a house with an approach of 200 or 300 feet of stone steps was discovered to be a relic of archi- tectural barbarism, and rooms, instead of being constructed without any angles, much as dry goods boxes are built, were made with a view of relieving such monot- onous and depressing squareness. The re- sult of all this was to set the old style houses to one side and leave them high and dry on the shores of universal progress. They were sold, they were deserted. The fashionable people left them to move nearer to the lake or farther into the suburbs, and fora time they stood with none so poor to do them reverence.
And then the owners of these old stone forts, these antiquated ‘‘sandstone shacks,”’ began to bestir themselves for the purpose of realizing a little interest on their money. The first move toward this natural desire was to rent these caravansaries to divers and sundry boarding house keepers. This resulted in large numbers of signs, such as ‘‘Rooms to Let,’’ ‘‘ Board by the Day and Week,’’ ‘‘Boarders Wanted’’ and similar decorations to appear on the walls of the old time houses. But after a time the boarding house business began to languish. European hotels and cheap restaurants in- sidiously sprang up, flourished and wrought havoc in the ranks of the devoted boarding house mistresses. And as the old houses were left by the boarders and their landladies the problem of utilizing the stone hulks was again before their respec- tive owners.
Now began the final step in the degra- dation of the ancient and honorable man- sions of yore. They were turned into stores and anything that could be rented, and now along Wabash avenue and State street the change has brought with it strange and grotesque happenings. At one stately old house a dog hospital is in full blast, and signs depicting dogs in dif- ferent stages of distress are plastered on the wall. In the next square a veterinary surgeon holds forth in a venerable pile where years ago one of the most noted citizens of Chicago lived.
A fashionable tailoring establishment holds full sway in another old stone front, and in this house a bay window has been built to give a more modern appearance to the edifice. Here, where once costly cur- tains adorned the windows on the socond floor, gandy prints of the latest styles in dresees flaunt themselves, and fashion plates bloom where rare exotics stood.
Quite a number of the old houses have had their one time respectability shocked by having additions attached to them and a saloon and buffet located there. At these places it is fair to presume the sons of Belial do congregate, and that, instead of the bigh toned gayety that distinguished the old mansion in days and nighis gone by there are riotous Cemonstration and oc- easional calls for the city chariot which hales offenders stationward.
The stone steps, once the pride of the old time housewives, ure so shattered and broken away that they seem like the steps leading to some penal institution. ‘They do not appear to have been washed for centuries, so soiled and begrimed is their look. Some of these ‘‘old timers’’ have been surrounded and cooped in by modern buildings, and seem to crouch moodily in the shadows, dreaming of times long ago when their windows were brilliant with life and light, their rooms hung with splendid paintings, a retinue of servants in the halls and chambers, guests coming and going, the sound of childish voices, music and bangueting, wine, woman and gong—all, all the faded glories of the past.

ISOLATED LIVES.
A Fate Brought gre Devotion or by Ex- alted Station.
Human lives for the most part run in
THEIR
‘ the same great grooves of home, family, ‘ work and wages, but there are men in the | world who are set apart for fates so abnor-
mal and different from all others that it is difficult for us even to conceive them. Among these, for instance, are the two Danish missionaries to the Eskimes. Each of them is banished of his own choice to a life amid eternal ice and snow. His com- panions are savages. Once a year a ship
| brings him supplies, papers and letters
from home, and going back leaves the self
' immolated man alone for another year.
Another yirtually isolated, and from
' qany points of view factitious, lot is that
ef the young czar of Russia. Consider it for amoment. A little black visaged man,
| so ordinary in appearance that he might be passed on the street unnoticed many
._ Great Britain.
times a day, a young fellow cf character, emotions and mental traits no more strongly marked than those of countless other young lads, is the ruler, the father, of more than 100,000,000 of human beings. Their happiness and misery and the fate of Armenians, Moslems and Greeks depend largely on his wish and whim today. The responsibility, the isolation, the artificial restraints, the apprehensions of such a life are unique and monstrous.
Still stranger is the fate of two men who, as stated by Mr. Frederick Boyle, are human gods. They are worshiped by a race dwelling in the mountains of Cam- bodia. ‘They inherit their position as god. As soon as one of them succeeds to this office, he is sent to a tower in the moun- tains, where he lives alone for a year, sup- plied with food by his people, who leave it within his reach, but do not speak to him. There are seven of these towers, and the wvotched deity spends a year alone in each. “.t the end of seven years he is allowed to return to the world if he is alive and sane, but the solitude usually ends ip his deatb or idiocy.
It is worth our while to consider some- times such strange, abnormal lives, to see more clearly how much of our own happi- ness comes from the homely, common, everyday blessings that are the birthright of every man and woman, and for which we seldom remember to thank God.— Youth’s Companion.
MRS. HESING’S DOLLS. :
A Chicago Woman Has the Finest Col- lection In the World.
The finest collection of dolls in the coun- try, or perhaps in the world, is owned by Mrs. Washington Hesing of Chicago. They were gathered together in her many travels around the world. Itis a collection of over 100 dolls, each one of which is the exponent of the manner in dress or cos- tume of some well known or out of the way corner of Europe.
There are peasant dolls from Norway, Sweden, Russia, Holland, France, Ger- many and Italy. There are representatives from Lapland, Iceland and all the frigid zone. There are dolls dressed in the cos- tume of the better classes in France and There isa lady from the Turkish harem. There are dolls from China and Japan; Indian dolls from Alas- ka and the great west; a doll monkey from the south sea islands, and representa- tives from the four corners of the globe.
The collection has been the result of ten years’ growth, and is the pride of Mrs. Hesing’s heart. To Aer it is priceless and beyond the reckoning touch of a computer
| in dollars ard cents. She takes the most
extraordinary eare of them by protecting their bisque and waxen faces from the glare of the sun and the devastation of dust microbes by keeping them in a large giass case. with glass sides and front like a bric-a- brac cabinet, and is shelved with glass plates. It stands fully 539 feet high, and is completely filled with dolls, whieh are arranged in a standing posture on wooden pins or props.
And one thing which would delight the heart of any child and which every little housewife demands in her play is the fact that every doll can be dressed and un- dressed. with permanent clothes is a fraud,
One of the rarest dolls in Mrs. Hesing’s collection is a terra cotta figure, about 10 inches tail, which came from the Convent of San Martino, just outside of Naples. It is 200 years old and is one of the most per- fect and exquisite pieces of terra cotta workmanship that bas ever left Italy. Ht is dressed in a costume of coarse silk and represents a peasant woman of the fif- teenth century. There is only one other doll like it in the world.—Philadelphéa Press.
