About the Book

Extrait: Des huit heures, une foule enorme, toujours croissante, se portait dans la direction du vingt-deuxieme quartier. L'un des plus riches, il est compris entre North Avenue et Division Street suivant le sens des paralleles, et suivant le sens des meridiens, entre North Halsted Street et Lake Shore Drive que baignent les eaux du Michigan. On le sait, les villes modernes des Etats-Unis orientent leurs rues conformement aux latitudes et aux longitudes, en leur imposant la regularite des lignes d'un echiquier.

Heureusement, on a l'excellente habitude, en Amerique, de se proteger soi-meme, sans attendre de l'administration une aide qu'elle est incapable de donner. Et cependant quel encombrement menacait ce vingt-deuxieme quartier, si la moitie seulement de la population chicagoise s'y transportait ! La metropole ne comptait pas alors moins de dix-sept cent mille habitants, dont le cinquieme environ ne aux Etats-Unis, l'Allemagne en pouvant reclamer pres de cinq cent mille, l'Irlande a peu pres autant. Quant au reste, les Ang
