Joint little ie recor&cA i 9J^- <*««««Cf)eCedcndi ' URING the second decade of the XVIth century, within the swart wilderness of equatorial America, if the chron- icles of the day are to be depended upon, Cortez, Pizarro, Valdivia and Quesada instituted a period of exploration such as had never betore been seen, nor since witnessed. After the exploitation of Nicarag^ua, Guatemala, Yuca- tan, New G>lombia and Bolivia, the subjection of well-nigh all of Latin America comprised withinthe torrid zone was at last accomplished by the valorous, if too blood thirsty, legfions of agfgressive Spain. Illiected by the spirit of adventure then rampant and flushed with his conquests in Peru, Ferdinand de Soto, the wealthy gfovemor of Cuba, grazed possessing:ly across the heaving wastes of the Atlantic and allowed his imagination to run riot over the untraversed region watered by the mysterious flood of the Mississippi. On the northern littoral of the Mexican Gulf, the vast delta of the Rio del Esperitu de Santo, with frontcnac louis &( Suabc, Count o( palluau anA frontcnac. Governor of l^ovcau france (Canada), 1672. 4 a reputed volume far in excess of that of either Amazon or Orinoco, presented a strangely fascin- atmg: field for investigation. There was nothing, therefore, surprising in the fact that in 1542 De Soto, mf lamed by the gilded gossip of the times, landed an armed force on the coast of Florida and, undaunted, struck out boldly for the unknown wilds of the interior. Conlronted by impenetrable thicket and bottomless morass, tumultuous rivers and by hosts of painted savages, he fought his way with sword and fagot until, at Guachoya, on the reedy banks of the never diminishing stream, above its confluence with tht Arkansas, almost a thousand navigable niiles from its empty inof place, he yielded his life, a sacrifice to his love for conquest and tor greed. With the exception of the return expedition led by Muscoso in J 543, the survivor of ir M *e' ? ^*^* "^^^^ brigantines to convey his 322 followers "down the great river to the gulf, Spanish exploitation of the Father of Waters ceased, and the old black curtain of impenetra- bility partially lifted and but for a moment, again fell and hid from the eyes of amazed cupidity the beckoning interior. vlm^^*^^*^*^"^"^^ *^ abandonment of the lower valley of the Mississippi, the advent of the XVIIth century gave a new stimulus and from another quarter to American exploration. Contemporary with the founding of Quebec by Champlain, in 1608, was the establishment of the order of the Recollect Friars and the ascent of the Ottawa river, and in 1616, the transit of Lake Huron by the priestly adventurer, Le Caron, a Franciscan monk. While this unlocking of the Northwest and the proselytizing of the Redskin was checked by the conquest of Canada by the English in 1629, the interruption was brief, for in 1632 Brebeuf and Daniel explored the Saguenay —carried the flag of civilization from the buttresses of Quebec to the bleak beaches of far Ungava, and on the um^ageous shores of Lake Iroquois established the village of St. Ignatius. Five years before Elliot of New England had addressed one word of pious exhortation to the Indians camped withm six niiles of Boston harbor, Jogues and Raymbaut had planted the cross at the foot of Lake Superior and preached the gospel of salvation within the smoky lodges of the implacable Sioux. DEPARTURE OF MARQUETTE AND JOLIET FROM ST. IGNACE ON THEIR FIRST VOYAGE TO THE ILLINOIS. niMsim^^ "gixmlv xeeelvei to ^o all an6 suttet all for eo glorioue an enUrptise." —Marquette's Journal tl ni-«(i3.— -j«ia««W.».i;"=ij . jbarlv in 1634 Sieur Jean Nicolet, a geographical reformer who expected to find the China Sea in Green Bay, captained a pacific expedition beyond the western limits of the Algonquin race into the heart of Winnebago-land. He camped at the palisaded town of Mascoutins, and was the first white explorer to penetrate northwest oi the Ohio and reach the Wisconsin river. Upon the outbreak of the Iroquois war in 1650 the snow in the forests of Canada was crimson with the blood of the missionaries, and for the next ten years priest and proselyte, explorer and coureur de bois awaited with folded arms the proclamation of peace. During }660 the Jesuit Father Rene Mes- nard, accompanied by Radisson and Groseilliers, a brace of dare-devil fur traders, discovered the Pictured Rocks, the copper mines at Keeweenaw and camped on Chequamegon Bay (Ashland, Wisconsin). But the too-trusting Mesnard was soon tomahawked by the savages amid the tene- brous wilds of the Menominee. In 1665 Father Qaude Allouez, whose name is imperishably connected with the discoveries in the Northwest, assumed control and the arches of the woods again awoke to the white man's homilies delivered in the Tartar tongue. I he close of 1668 still found Allouez wearing the winter out preaching to tolerant Potta- wattomie and surly Kickapoo and overthrowing the pagan idols at the Kahkalin rapids on the Fox, when Father Jacques Marquette, a youthful priest from Sault Ste Marie, unexpectedly arrived upon the scene. The conflicting reports of priest and trapper as to the possibilities of this terra, well- nigh incognita, had aroused the curiosity of prelate and cupidity of layman at Quebec; for the mystery that surrounded these western solitudes was regarded as a scientific imposition. Thus it came about that Qaudius Dablon, Superior Generale of the missions of the Society of Jesus, was ordered to the Sault in 1668 for the purpose of establishing in more ways than one the everlasting truth. The narratives of Father Dablrn and his missionaries, "The Relations of 1670-71-72,'' were subsequently published in Paris, together with a map of Lake Superior, and these with the unprinted "Relations of 1672-3 and 1673-9,'' now form the most valuable collection extant of the early history and topography of the primeval west.

The joy of the latter may be iuiagined when on the festival of the Immaculate Conception he received a letter bidding him prepare for the expedition. May 1 7th, 1673, Marquette and Joliet embarked on their historic enterprise in two birch canoes with five Miami Indians by way of the Bay of Fetid (Green Bay). The former an envoy of Christendom, clothed in the coarse habit of his order, and presenting with his humble followers a marked contrast to the mail-clad conquistadores of the militant De Soto. Not animated with the spirit of greed backed by fire and fagot, but ambassadors of peace ** firmly resolved to do all and suffer all for so glorious an enterprise," and promising, writes Marquette, " that if under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Immaculate they should discover the great river, he would give that name to the first mission he should establish among the new nation." Crossing Lake Winne- bago (Oshkosh) they ascended the Fox river June 7th, portaging to the headwaters of the Wisconsin at Mascoutens. Here, with two Miami guides, they re-launched their canoes on the broader courses of the vine-clad stream on the iOth, prepared "to follow those waters which would henceforth lead them into strange lands." "Launched their birch canoes for sailing} Shoved them forth into the water; Whispering to them, ' Westward ! Westward I'" . ^^SCending the Wisconsin, past swaying forest and waving beds of rice, they attained the limit of all previous discoveries and gazed in awe upon the wondrous vista of a new world that lay spread before them.

Ihe scant limits of these pages permit but the briefest summary of their accomplishments. On the 25th of June, when nearing the 40th degree of north latitude, they saw footsteps on the river bank. Disembarking, Marquette and Joliet followed the trail through the forest. Suddenly three Indian villages burst upon their sight. Priest and trader halloaed with all their strength, when four old braves advanced, two bearing red calumets -pipes of peace— adorned with feathers of the white eagle and other plumes. "Who are you?" asked Marquette; "We are Ilinois "— ' The Men'— they answered; and in token of friendship," says Marquette, " presented us their pipes to smoke." Conducted to the residence of the great Sachem, the travellers were assured that " they should enter all the cabins of the tribe in peace.^ After "feasting on sagamity and dog-meat," and being warned -ru ^"* * confronted them, undeterred they continued the descent of the rolling river. r t^ JP.^** *^f P*'"*«<^ Rocks (where Alton now stands), and twenty leagues from the camp of the Ilinis reached the junction of the Pckitanoni (Missouri), and twenty leagues further the confluence of the Ouaboukigon (the Ohio); nor tarried until they entered the domain of the warlike Chicachas (Tuscaroras), who showed them rosaries, guns and knives traded with the Spaniards in Florida, and declared they were now but ten days* journey from the sea. At the vil- lage of Mitchiganaea, near the mouth of the St. Francis, they encountered a hostile tribe armed with arrows, axes and bucklers, who threatened them from their periaguas with every sign of hostility. In vain, writes Marquette, "I showed the calumet and made gestures to explain that we had not come as enemies. Having pacified the Chicachas by "presents and fair words," they pushed on beyond the confluence of the Arkansas and beached their dripping canoes among the reeds at u ARRIVAL or MARQUETTE AT THE CHICAGO RIVER "paeeitiij two icaauee up tbc river wc rc80^x«c^ to winter there * * * beiiui ^ctainc^ bSi5^WcV»L^ NarraKre. where " deposited In a small vault under the floor of the log chapel, '* writes the faithful Dablon, ** it reposes as the gfuardian angel of the Ottawa mission."

However unworthily unpalatable this fact may be to a prejudiced few, it cannot be denied that it was the much-abused Jesuit who led in the exploration of our western solitudes.

In view of this fact it requires little tax of the imagination to cast a retrospect and picture the missionary while wintering in his rude cabin on the banks of the Chicago river casting — in his turn — a horoscope, and ser- monizing, to the amazement of his Pottawatomie converts, upon the magical changes in local conditions that the future centuries would bring. It is safe to hazard that he prophecied the day when the frail birch-bark would make way for the monster escotai chemahn — ''fire canoe '^—bearing vast cargoes from old France, by way of the St. Lawrence and the great lakes, and without breaking bulk, down artificial inland waterways in the descent of the Father of Waters to the sea* It is not unreasonable to assume that he also saw, perhaps as ** through a glass darkly,'' the passing of the wigwams of the Miamis and the log shacks of the coureurs-c&s-bois on the tiver's marshy banks, and of the Babelesque structures of stone and steel— beehives of the industry of a polyglot people, before which the marts of the older world might easily pale. Not- withstanding the quality of Marquette's prophetic gift, it is doubtful if in his wildest flights of fancy he conceived of a structure such as that which bears his name — a legacy of his achievements — and which stands today a permanent ** arrangement" in terra-cotta, opposite the site of the new postoffice, on the northwest corner of Adams and Dearborn streets— a pivotal business point in the heart of the hurly-burly of irrepressible Chicago. ** The MARQUETTE " is without doubt one of the best and most typical of the modern office buildings in this country. With its classical lines and seal brown exterior it is distinctly distinguish- able from its many and less inrposing neighbors in *' Dearborn Street Cafion." Its 16 stories tower skywards 210 feet above grade, and from its broad gravelled top, crowning its ten-foot attic, the inquisitive visitor can obtain a wonderful birds-eye view — governed by the way the wind blows^ of ;y;.-7---*a-Ii^v--^>-?1W.l^K--'- MARQUETTE BUILDING- DEARBORN STREET ENTRANCE Chicago's leagues of roofs and thoroughfares, and of the prismatic vastness of lawless Lake Mich- igan.

The area of the lot is 24,190 sq. ft., all utilized by the building. Above the 1st story it is ** U " shaped, with a short " L" projecting into the court. This interior court is 66x68 feet, and at the line of the second floor in its base is a large skylight.

MacNeil, a faithful student of Indian characteristics, illustrating incidents in the life and of the death of Pere Marquette. The floors of the first and second stories are cream- colored fields of ceramic mosaic, with borders in design, of black and dark green tesserae. Over each elevator door on the first and second floors, are portraits modeled by Mr. Edward Kemeys in antique statuary bronze, of prominent officials of Noveau France, noted Indian sachems and of the early explorers of the great Northwest and the Mississippi valley. Th^ f^^"^ wishing to reduce the commercial appearance of the entrance, while increasing its artiSffc tff ;ct, sacrificed a large space in the center of the building for the purpose of a memorial rotunda in honor of Marquette. After much outlay of time and money, how well they succeeded, with the help of artist, sculptor, architect and constructor, in producing a monument worthy of the explorer and all concerned is best demonstrated to those who have not beheld its architectural and artistic completeness by the illustrations that embellish these pages. On the right and left, as one enters from Dearborn street, broad lined white marble stairways lead to the 2d, or "banking floor," the marble of these, as of the panels covering the walls, of ceiling panels and of the beams of the 1st story are all of statuary Carrara marble. This rotunda is admittedly without a parallel in any business building in the United States. Polygonal in outline, entrance and vestibule occupy the eastern central portion, while the semi-circular battery of elevators fill the western, back of which are broad windows and a spacious court. On entering, ones attention is arrested by the massive fluted column of this same Carrara marble, which, glistening Uke porphyry, extends from the floor Ime to the 2nd story ceiling, through the well hole, where it supports the ceiling beams— of the same marble -which radiate from it to the angles of the polygon, forming panels, in which the I ittany Glass & Decorating Co., of New York, have inserted some of their finest glass mosaic work from designs by Mr. J. A. HoUer. The panels are lighted fcy electricity, mellowed by ground glass globes which shed over the whole a soft, subdued light, revealing and enhancing the artistic jumble of the delicate tints. These panel decorations of glass mosaic and mother-of-pearl at MARQUtTTE BUILDING- ROIUNDA on the face of the balcony— 4 feet 3 inches in width— between the 1st and 2nd floor, consist of three pictorial tablets descriptive of leading events in the career of Marquette, showing also the armour and weapons of the period, and heads of Marquette and Joliet. 1 lit." impression produced upon the spectator on entering the rotunda and glancing upwards at the opalescent ceiling of the second story, at the satin gloss of the marble work, the deliciously delicate tints of the mosaic balcony pictures, the flashing tapestries of glass and the contrasting bronzes of Indian heads is a thrilling and a lasting one. i 1 O Mr. Owen F. Aldis, one of the owners of the structure, who has made a translation of Marquette s journal, is due the credit for the original christening of the building. It was he also who suggested the inscriptions and the immortalizing in bronze of the now famous men con- nected with the discovery of the Mississippi. I he architects of the building are Messrs. Holabird & Roche, of continental reputation, and the constructors the Geo. A. Fuller Company, the widely known contractors, both of Chicago. A COUREUR-DE-BOIS.

GROMMES & ULLlvlCrie^e^ .^t^^^jiCHICAGOji^j»j»ot JOHN B. OROMMES ^:^.. MICHAEL ULLRICH ^^ ^HE immense wholesale WINE, LIQUOR AND CIGAR business of Gronnnes & Ullrich is carried on in the Marquette Building in the stores at the corner bounded on the north by the alley and fronting on Dearborn street. The general and private offices are to the right of the visitor on enter- ing. In the center of the main reception and salesroom are elaborate show stands for the display of bottled goods; to the left is the cigar department, equipped with a large vault specially fitted up with all the latest improvements for keeping cigars in that exquisite condition appreciated and exacted by all true connoisseurs of " the weed." The design of the interior fittings, which are of rich red mahogany, is in harmony with the character of the building. The effect of the magnificent sample cases, with their myriad parti-colored glass flasks and bottles, containing some of the rarest and costliest liquids of the older world, and which flash and sparkle in the changing rays of light, is fairly entrancing and spectacular — a picture from the pages of Monte Christo. The rear of the store is occupied by the shipping and receiving depart- ments. Here are the elevators that connect with the cellar, which is also reached by an iron and marble stairway leading from trie end of the main showcase in the salesroom. The entire basement of the Marquette, aggregating 20,000 square feet, is used for storage, wine cellars and bottling departments, and is in itself a wonderful ensemble of the finest distillations of all countries which pro- duce the luscious grape. Wines of every grade, from vin ordinaire— ordinary table wine — to the highest grade of chateaux — bottling. Wines from the Rhine and the Moselle, from the Gironde and famous Bourgogne, from the sun-kissed hills of Italy, the vineyards of Spain and the slopes of Portugal ! Liquors, too, of all kinds from the British Isles, from France and Germany, Norway, Sweden and far-off Russia. In plentiful addition to these the visitor finds, last but not least, the genuine and palatable domestic Rye and Bourbon whiskies of the Maryland, Monongahela and Blue Grass regions, of endless variety and age. In fact, from the cellars or storage rooms of this vast establishment the man of simple habits as well as the bon vivant can readily make a selection that will gratify his especial taste. For Clubs, Hotels, Barrooms and regular family trade the stock to select from is une(^ualled. Messrs. Gromnies & Ullrich would draw the especial attention of consumers to the fact that their wine cel- lars are kept at an even temperature the year round. This is accomplished by ice machines fed with carbonic acid gas in place of the objectionable ammonia process ordinarily employed. a ^, ,^ (i y i H, l wW IW |gt B i Mituj 'i i i ! . "W i'i .,.
