Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show was popular with the crowds, Scott Joplin wowed the young and daring with his ragtime music and the zipper was invented.  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle launched Sherlock Holmes and 13 million acres of forests were enclosed in the US to create the national park system.  In the 1890's women were just beginning to be allowed the privilege oi swimming - if you could call wearing a 20lb costume in the water swimming. No wonder they called it bathing - one could only tread water and splash about a bit, but it signaled a new freedom for women in the US.
