HE removal of Libby Prison from Richmond, Va., to Chicago was a
project never before equaled in the history of building moving, and
one that will not be surpassed for years to come. This famous old
structure as a Confederate prison is too well known to need the repeti-
tion of its history, and it is enough to state that it was the palace
prison of the South, and during the late war it held more than 30,000
Union officers and enlisted men as prisoners. The project of removing
Libby to Chicago was first thought of by a well known Chicago busi-
ness man, who interested a syndicate of his business associates and as
a result they visited Richmond in the latter part of 1888 and took a thorough look over the ground. Then it was decided to purchase; negotiations were closed through Rawlings & Rose and the syndicate, with Mr. W. H. Gray as treasurer, commenced to make arrangements for its removal. Mr. Louis M. Hallwell, a well known and experienced Philadelphia architect, was engaged to work on the spot. He made all of the working plans for taking the structure apart, shipping it to the cars, and rebuilding it in Chicago. The work commenced in December,
18S8, and as the building was taken apart each board, beam, timber and block of stone was numbered or lettered in such a manner that there was not the least trouble about placing these parts correctly together again in rebuilding. The contract for hauling the matter was given to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company, which kept box cars on the York River side track near the building and as soon as a carload was ready for shipment it was sealed and sent on its way to Chicago. This required 132 twenty-ton cars. In the meantime the massive stone wall had been erected on the Wabash Avenue front of the Chicago lot, and after the completion of this the re-erection of Libby Prison commenced and was completed early in September. The museum was opened to the public September 21st, and the patronage of the institution from that date to the present time demonstrates that the enterprise of Chicago's business men who took hold of this project is appreciated, and that the Libby Prison War Museum is a place well worth visiting. Notwithstanding the fact that the old prison is now filled with thousands of relics of the late war, new ones are being added every day and in the near future this museum will be setJnd to none in this country. One of the most interesting and important points about the exhibit in this building is the fact that it contains the most complete and valuable collection of Confederate relics in existence. The present officers of the Libby Prison War Museum
Association are C. F. Gunther, President ; A. G. Spalding, Vice-President ; Albert Hayden,
Vice-President ; C. E. Kremer, Secretary and Treasurer. Directors : L. Manasse, S. H.

This originally had simply a dirt flooring and it was from the North wall that the tunnel was recommenced. The opening through the wall is still there and the very bricks that were taken from it. The centre room of the three basements contains the cells, four in nnmber, in which prisoners were con- fined for disobedience or for hostages. One of these is entirely without light and was known as the " black hole." The South cellar was not used for any purpose other than storage, and prisoners had no access to these cellars whatever unless placed in the cells. w CATALOGUE LIBBY PRISON WAR MUSEUM mi ,111 iMitiiii ®t lEi mil | .^g.^'S^N'^&^fe -f .\^ ///c cxistcH'CC of the Union^ depends ilic safety and -welfare of the parts of tvJiich it is composed; t/ic fate of an empire^ in ?nany' respects., the most interesting in the zvorid.

For upwards of thirty years"these Superb Instruments have been conspicuously before tlie pulilic, upon tlie concert stage and in the tfrawinij room, wliere they command tlie miquestioned athniration of tlie nuisical world, not only because of their Phenomenal Dikahii.itv, but liecause also of that Peclliarlv KiCH and sympatheticX^UM.iTV (jf Tone, which is their distinctive characteristic and which has so en- deared them to those qualified by the highest musical trainini;; to recognize the finer distinctions of tone quality. They combine, moreover, that'consuuimation of Mechanical Excellknce which admits of the most delicate and impressive effects, and that IIniform Sipekiokitv that so greatly enhances not only the pie isure t)f the audience, but that of the performer as well. The secret of their success, which is thus so brilliantly emphasized, must be admitted to lie in the beauty of their pure, limpid, rich and sympa- thetic (|ualitv of tone. NIr. Weber, a thoroughlv educated musician, recognizing that the development of the Pianoforte had been wholly in the direction of h;(v//u///.vw, conceived the idea of developing //<' /o«<', in which his success was truly astonishing. In respect of (/««/;'.')' "/Vr7«,-, therefore, it may be confidently as- serted, that the Weber Piano occupies a position that is unique and unapproachable. There is a breadth and musical character to tlie tone, together with a singing capacity so desirable, that gives to these instru- ments that sympathetic sensibility which renders them so indispensable to singers, because of their sustain- ing and harmonizing consonance with the voice. Mechanically considered they challenge comparison with the most expert artisanshi]> of eitlur hemisphere, combining all the best achievements of all times and peoples. The cases, which are superbly designed, constr\icted and finished, are for the most part of simple vet tasteful designs, and the interior works are made in tlie most solid and enduring manner, and with the inost patient care. In a word, the Weber Pianoforte assumes to be a strictly first-class instrument of the highest grade, upon which no money has been wasted; and while obviously not a low-priced piano, it com- bines in the highest possible degree the maximum of value and the minimum of cost.

Dear Madam : —In calling attention to our New Enterprise, and soliciting your valuable patronage, believe there is, room in Chicago for a retaiLDry Goods House, conducted on first-class principles, keeping reliable goods only, and still selling them at a less profit than has been customary among the "High-Toned" Stores. In other words, there are plenty of CHEAP STORES selling nothing but CHEAP GOODS, and plenty of "HIGH COST" stoKes, but none that have adopted a middle course, willing to sell first-class goods at a small margin of profit. We know there is a growing demand in Chicago, among all classes, for ^^er goods. We do not believe it is necessary to charge the old time »fits, as we think that larger sales will at least make up a part of the flciency. This is no idle theory, as our Mr. Proby speaks from an experience twelve years in Chicago, among all classes of trade. Our stores now number 138 and 140, State Street, a few doors south of Madison, and it is our intention of doubling the size, the ensuing sprino-. The four floors overhead, reached by two modern elevators, are about one- third larger than the main floor, being 72 x 130 feet, or ten thousand square feet on each floor, and are all excellently lighted and ventilated. \ It is hardly necessary to say, that in all things, we propose to give the customer every advantage. Goods will be exchanged or money refunded at all times without question. If goods do not wear well we will replace them with othefs, as we believe there is only one way of doing business. On these grounds we ask a share of your custom. Inspection and comparison earnestly solicited.
