New York City in 1897 was weeks from a major change, since the state legislature that spring approved a charter to merge Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island into one municipality effective January 1, 1898. Manhattan's population had swelled past 1.5 million, and its garment shops, printing houses and cigar factories drew workers from across Europe. Electric streetcars and cable cars were replacing horse-drawn lines along the avenues, while elevated railways still rattled above Third Avenue. That April, the city dedicated Grant's Tomb overlooking the Hudson at Riverside Drive, drawing large crowds of veterans and visitors to the upper West Side.
