20 CHICAGO^ CH MEN. Many Millionaires of the Wicked City, and the Way They Live. £hil Armour's Interest in St. Paul Stock and the Size of His Pile. George Pullman, With His Six Millions, Is Hated by the Anarchists. Marshall Field Carries Thirty Millions in His Inside Pocket. HICAGO Letter— Just how rich Phil Armour is he himself declares he has no idea. It is certain, however, that he can "clean up," as jthe Western phrase i.>, 'not less than 825,000,- \ .000. He carries more ! • business in his head i 'than any two men in • _*hl_»_urn tin Ii . <-_ It, a very modest house on Prairie avenue. Every night, winter* and summer, he goes to bed promptly at 9 o'clock. It j doesn't make any difference what is going on in the house. If there is com- | pany, he excuses himself . If his wife is giving a reception, she has to receive j alone after '.» o'clock. Every morning, winter and summer, he is taking his i breakfast at 6 o'clock, anil at 7. before any of his clerks appear, he is at his! desk hard at work upon his immense j correspondence. Nevertheless, for a j man worth J_5,000,000, Mr. Armour is exceedingly companionable, and when j he sits down with a little company after dinner at lite home he is a jolly good soul. He is one of the most charitable rich men in America. His gifts aggre gate about 2400,000 a year, and there is not a public charity of any kind in Chi- j cago that does not receive his unsolicited check.' Very ' few people know this, and lie does not like to have it known. lie is a Repub lican, but he cares a great deal more about the price of St. Paul stock than i he does about a century of Republican | politics. He is a heavy holder of St. Paul, and is credited with the intention j of moving the shops and headquarters j of that enormous system from Mil- i waukee to some place in the suburbs of j Chicago and building up a model town I like Pullman. Pullman, however, as a matter of I fact, is anything but a blooming sue- \ cess as a model town. The people are in a chronic state of irritability and j complaint making about the alleged i hardships they labor under. The phil anthropic gentlemen who helped George M. Pullman plan the model town drew | up a set of cast iron rules about things j which would be excellent if the inhabi tants were machines, bat are entirely uusuited to men and women. As the J entire place is owned by the Pullman ' company, there is no chance for the em ployes of the big shops to get away from its control. The residents say that the company is the very worst of landlords, too. Most of the houses j were hastily and poorly built, and it is j harder to get the company to make any repairs than it is to induce a Chrystie | street (New York) landlord to put anew j knob on the door. A strange, silent, austere sort of man ' is George M. Pullman, after whom tiiis j town was named. When he appeared j in court the other day to press. his suit about the vestibule train against his old rival, the Wagner company, he seemed as nervous and excited as ' a schoolboy about to speak his first piece. He flits about from Chicago to New York and then to Washington in an uncertain way that is rather puzzling to those who come here to do business with him. His home on Prairie avenue is one of the finest in the West. The summer residence he is building on Pullman island, in the St. Lawrence, will be one of the curiosities to the visitors to the Thousand islands when it is finished. certainly there will be nothing like it in this country. Mr. Pullman's wealth is estimated at $0,000,000. He is cor dially hated by tiie anarchists and is not nearly as popular as Phil Armour. When Armour was just getting his pork-packing business well started, a good many years ago, there was in his j cutting department a* sturdy-limbed, bright-faced young Irishman, whose duty it was to split hog carcasses length wise with a big cleaver. Mr. Armour used to inspect the works pretty closely, and he was particularly well pleased with the energy and vim with which the young man whacked away with his cleaver. He made him the leader of his gang, and finally foreman of the cutting department. The young man was industrious and hard-working in every position, until his employer made him the superintendent and gave him an interest in his business. Now he is recognized as Mr. Armour's partner, and is worth *?2,000,000. His name is Michael Cudahy. He lives on Michigan avenue in a much handsomer house than i his old employer's. The Cudahvs are leaders in Chicago's best society. * Potter Palmer, the millionaire hotel keeper, lives in an immense green-stone turreted and towered castle on the lake shore, near Lincoln park. His wife and the eldest daughter of A. J. Snell, who was murdered by a burglar, divide the glory of being called the most beautiful women in Chicago. He is about twenty years her elder. He owns (5,000,000 worth of real estate, and his big hotel is said to bring him in $500,000 a year. He pays very little attention to it*, and it practically runs itself on its reputa tion. It is the Democratic headquarters, and during a political campaign it is a sight to see. They pack about 4,000 people into it during a convention. Mr. Palmer used to be a prominent Demo cratic politician, but he told an inter viewer the other day that he had lost ail interest in politics and didn't care a rap who was president. It is noticed, how- i ever, that lie went down to Washington I to assist in the effort to get the Demo cratic convention here, and that the Democratic Central committee fully ex pect this year the donation of $10,000 which he has not failed to give it every year for a very long time. In some campaigns it has been about all the funds it has had. Marshall Field is the richest man in Chicago, lie made his money in the dry goods business, and he is probably the most successful merchant in that trade since A. T. Stewart. He is worth £50.000,000. The great stone pile occu pied by his wholesale department made President Cleveland stare very long and hard when he saw it for the* first time last fall. Mr. Field "was an object of peculiar hatred to the anarchists, and he had a mortal dread of them. When he built the wholesale building he had them particularly in mind, and the structure looks much like a big, gloomy fortress. The story of his quarrel with his old partner, L. Z. Leiter, is very familiar. When they parted, Mr. Field took the retail business and Mr. Leiter took the five-story iron block in which it is conducted. lately Mr. Field has bought all the ground adjoining the store and when his lease from Leiter expires he will have a much bicuer building of his own to move into. "Mr. Leiter continues to live in Mr. Blame's Mansion in Washington, and Chicago sees him no more. He is worth 810,000, --000, and like Mr. Field he is a Democrat. It is not hard work to count a hundred persons in Chicago who are worth a million dollars or more. Pork pack ing has made most of it. m - The Morning After. Judge. Clara— How did you enjoy yourself at the ball last night, Emmy? Emma (hoarsely)— Never enjoyed my self so much in all my life. I'm sure I've caught, my death of cold and will be laid up with pneumonia. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. V The mystic letters B. P. O. E. are, as every member has discovered immedi ately upon entrance, synonomous with great good fe lowship and geniality. The technical meaning reads Benevo lent and Protective Order of Elks, but the more popular term classes those who have been initiated into the mys teries of the order as the "Best People On Earth." ln a wordy sense the definition is very apt. They are good fellows without the slightest doubt, and must be good fellows before they can become Elks. In support of this a section relating to qualifications: "No person shall be initiated into the order unless he be a white male of good moral character, who shall be bodily and nien- tally in good health, and who shall have attained the age of twenty-one years, and be able to earn the means necessary to the support of himself and family." One cannot become an Elk merely by presenting an application. Before the lodge doors are opened to him, a com mittee examines into his character, and upon their report a ballot is taken. Thus it is seen that every Elk, before he becomes such, is a gentleman, a man of character, and possessed of the ability to support him self and family. The order was organ ized for pleasure, and it will be quite difficult to find an Elk who will say that the order has belied the purpose for which it was created. For good, genu ine, wholesome FAT-I*i:ODld_*G FUN, the Elks lead every organisation under the sun. If there be a skeptic let him ask a neighbor who has received an in vitation to a "social session of the Elks," whether he will accept or not. The order was originally instituted in New York city solely in the interests of theatrical people, and continued so for many years, until one outsider was taken in and then another, until to-day men of other professions and business pursuits outnumber the "footlight favorites*' five to one. Some of the most prominent public people of the age. and all of the finished actors, wear the in signia of "B. P. O. E." Lodges have sprung up in all parts of the Union, many of them composed of wealthy, in fluential people, though others may not be so fortunate. Many lodge rooms are veritable palaces, for it is an order that a man will throw his money into and sel dom leave. These same lodge rooms have Witnessed some of the finest dramatic efforts, and heard many eloquent im promptu speeches from statesmen and men of the leading worldly professions. The influence of the Elk lodge room will loosen the thickest tongue on earth, and thicken the "loosest"' one. "But this is by the way." Omaha boasts of the finest class of memb<M| and wealth iest lodge in the order. The claim, it is said, has good foundation. New York, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincin nati, aad other leading cities, are not at all averse to singing the praises of the B. P. O. E.. in their respective limits. As the membership throughout the country steadily increased, and the fame of the order became more generally known, it was decided that St. Paul should have a finger in the pie. Accordingly twenty-three gentlemen expressed their desire to organize a odge, and Dec. 5, 1886, Dr. Quinlan and ten members of the Chicago lodge ar rived in St. Paul to start the ball rolling. Later trains brought members from the Omaha and Fond dv Lac lodges.and Old Boreas blew his merriest. In the evening THE ST. PAUL LODGE was installed with the following char ter members: Dr. A. J. Stone, C. S. Bnrlram, L. N. Scott, E. S. Gorman, B. W. Armstrong, C. S. Fee, J. ]. Hazzard. 11. C. Hope, Dr. J. A. Quinn, C. E. Uobb. P. A. Rockwell, Ehle Allen, L. 1). Powers, Samuel 11. Kneass, L.

Schultz ( Ehle Allen The rise of this lodge has been rapid and the membership to-day will reach between seventy-five and eighty. It would have been five times as large had the members been willing to take in every Tom, Dick and Harry that made application. The lodge has been exclu sive and events have shown that this course has resulted beneficially. The membership is composed almost entirely of professional and railroad men, and it is openly asserted that the St. Paul lodge boasts a better class of men than any other lodge of Elks in existence. A glance at the roster leaves no room for dispute. At present they are occupying the Knights of Pythias hull on East Fifth street, ami have ever since their organization, ln this room some of the brightest lights of the theatrical pro fession have been most delightfully entertained, and have always repeated their visits when opportunity offered. Frequent social sessions are held, at which each member and visitor is sup posed to contribute a song, recitation or humorous story, and thus the pro gramme is arranged. As some of the brightest efforts of one's life are made on the spur of the moment, so it is at a social session of Elks, where one has no chance to study over his piece and make it dry and tedious. The present board of officers is as follows: Exalted Hitler Judge E. Stone Gorman. Esteemed Leading Xt Chief John Black Esteemed Royal Xt W. B. Kaiser Esteemed Lecturing Xt J. S.

' ~ .1. 1. Hazzard and Billy Keyser sing duets. Mr. Hazzard has had large ex perience in social sessions. R. A. Rockwell is one of the most reg ular of all in attending meetings. Sam Kneass is as quiet in the lodge room as he is on the streets or in his office. Judge Gorman, the exalted ruler, presides with the same dignity that characterizes him in the court. Harry Wheat is the most enthusiastic of all the Elks. Baz Armstrong tells the same story at each social session. It's a good story, too. C. S. Bartram is so enthusiastic an Elk that he wears two Elk badges all the time. L. D. Wilkes is the finest musician in the lodge, though when it comes to sing ing. Jack Wh den is a good second. • Chief John Black attends all social sessions. J. S. .id lough is said to pay his dues in advance just as a matter of bus iness. Senator E. W. Durant, of Stillwater, is an old-time Elk— a member of Chi cago Lodge No. 4. He sometimes ■ pre sides at social sessions. L. N. Scott is the only actor that be longs to St. Paul lodge. Dr. Quinn was once tendered a vote of thanks for his efficient services as chaplain. ._.'•■ Pint* to let ads. in the Globe are seen by *'««•> the most people. . . THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, MAT 27, 1888.— TWENTY PAGES. FAIRIES FIVE CENTS EACH. How the Pretty Cigarette Photographs Are Procured. GOOD SHAPES AND FACES. The Modus Operandi of the Wily Pho tographer-Chorus Girls Capti vated by the Camera. i WILL have your por trait circulated iv mill ions," said a New York photographer to a young lady, fashion ably attired in a new Ispring rig, while he urged her to pose once more for a cigarette picture. It is rarely* now that the festive cigarette fiend would purchase any brand that did not supply a phograph of a maiden 'in uu maidenly costume'with every five-cent box of cigarettes. To supply this de mand for youthful satisfaction some cigarette firms still furnish a fairy with every ten cigarettes. The origin of this plan was the issue simply of an advertising scheme which should attract customers and increase the sales. As a novelty it was success ful, as an institution it has become per manent. 'I'lin racnlt nil. off oi___ K.r r.,,_mrr In fanciful stage costumes vain women de sirous of being remembered in the dreams of any and every man. Such women were not hard to find at first. When the negatives of prominent actresses taken in some reputable gal lery were seized upon and recopied, the sale increased a thousand fold. Burlesque beauties could be had by the score for 5 cents apiece. The like nesses were fairly good, but the greatest art in the whole affair was displayed in the posing and arrangement of draperies. Many actresses began to raise stren uous objections to these pictures, es pecially the more prominent members of the profession but no law had been provided to prevent copying photo graphs. The profession proper, how ever, have succeeded to a large extent in crushing the further circulation of prototypes. The present difficulty of obtaining figurantes for the cigarette pictures has led to strange complications in the search made by photographers for sub jects. "One dozen pictures free, my dear, taken just as you like them," says the seductive photographer to the proposed young lady. She consents, perhaps, and at a time appointed visits the gallery and is shown a dressing room. "You will find the costume inside," says the assistant. "Where?" inquires the young lady, looking vaguely round the room, bar ren of all furniture except a long mir ror and two chairs. "There it is," replies the assistant, touching the back of a chair. Upon nearer approach the young lady discovers a pair of skin tights, a jersey, armless and almost bodiless, and she asys, hesitating. "Er— well— but the rest of it?" "That s all," answers the assistant as he closes the door. The young lady usually accepts the situation— out of pure novelty and curiosity, at others because she is used to the airy garments of the stage grotto or the fairy cave. The cigarette manufacturers have a contract with one, two or more local photographers to supply them with the bijou portraits mounted on cards, pay ing them so much per hundred. That relieves manufacturers of all responsi bility and causes an interesting compe tition among the photographers for sub jects. As a photographer is generally a man careful of his reputation, he engages young men to secure subjects for Ids cigarette pictures. The young man re ceives $1 commission on every new face and form obtained, the photographer retaining the option of rejecting any thing insufficiently seductive for the cigarette smoker. The reporter shadowed one of these hirelings once with the following re sult: "We want good shapes and pretty faces," admonished the photographer, and with a "trust-me" sort of wink the young man started out on his rounds. He did not begin work until after the theaters were out; then he stationed himself at the stage door and intercept ed chorus girls as they came out. When the vain little stage butterfly, alive to the advantages of being adver tised among the men and being remem bered in the dreams of dude cigarette smokers, is offered the favored oppor tunity she accepts freely. A chorus girl is the most successful subject to obtain. She has overcome all prudery, and, costume or no cos tume, her smile is unblemished by any sense of shyness. They are, most of them, painted pret tily, and afterwards flattered by the "touching up" of the photographer. Another class of girls are the shop and cash girls, who are dazzled by the sight of pretty costumes provided by the photographer. "Nothing Like Them" Is the verdict of all who take Ayer's Pills. Prompt and effective in their action, they leave no ill-effects, and may be administered to old or young. Herbert Elwell, of East Saginaw, Mich., says: "I was a great suf ferer from Constipation, Headache, and General Debility. My skin was yellow, and I had constant pain in my side and back. Other medicines failing, I took three boxes of Ayer's Pills and am cured."
