MR. PULLMAN’S CAREER.
HOW THE MILLIONAIRE < \H BUILDER|
GOT HIS START IN LIFE.
From the Chicago I‘ost.
Mr. Pullman was horn on March
3. 1831, in Chautauqua county.
N. Y.
His parents wore poor, and his
eluention was United to what he
could learn of the rudimentary
branches in the district school.
At the age of 14 he went to work
as a clerk for a country merchant.
He kept this place three years,
studying at night. When 17, he
went to Albion. N. ~ anti workeo
f >r his brother, who kept a cabinet
Smp there. Five years later he
went into business tor himself as
a contractor lor moving buildings
a’ong the line of the Erie canal,
which was then being widened by
the state. He was successful in
this, his inventive mind applying
to the wqjk mechanical principles
never before used in that way.
In 1858 he came to Chicago and
engaged in the business ot moving
and raising houses. This work was
novel here then, and he was quite
successful. About this tinu’the
discomfort attendant on traveling
at night attracted his attention.
He reasoned that the public would
gladly pay for comfortable sleep
ing accommodations. A few sleep
ing cars were in use at thjs time,
but they were wretchedly crude,
uncomfortable affairs. In 1859 he
bought two old day coaches from
the Chicago and Alton road and’
remodeled them on something like
,the general plan of the sleeping
dal's of the present day. They were
put into service on t he Chicago and
Alton and became popular at one .
He saw the possibilities of the
r ljusiness, but* had great jlifficulty
in inducing capitalists to join hin f
His propositions were laughed at.
He persevered, however, and in
1863 built the first sleeping car re
s-milling the Pullman cars ’today.
It cost SIB,OOO. and was the Pio
neer. After that the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company prospered. It
had shops at different cities. In
the town of Pullman was
founded f>y Mr. Pulhnair and his
company. Mr. Pullman lives at
Eighteenth street and Prairie ave
mie. His family consists of his
wife, two sons and one daughter,
Florence. Another daughter, Har
riet, is Mrs. Frank J. Carolan. His
wealth is estimated at $25,000,000.

I dont remember just now, but I

My dear young friend; permit me
give you this bit of fatherly advice:
When you have to take breakfast in

KILLED IN A MILL.
HENRY BRAZIER CAUGHT IN THE
DRIVE WHEEL BELT.
Yesterday afternoon Henry Bra
zier the fireman at Rogers Baw
mill, at Silver Creek undertook to
kick the belt from the dri v e wheel
of the mill, while the machinery
was in motion.
The effort proved fatal, as the
young mans foot was caught in the
belting and he was swept from his
footing hurled around the pully
i and dashed to death on the floor
ing.
Henry was about 20years of age
and was a stranger at Silver Creek
and the mill. His remains will
> be buried today and perhaps his
loved ones will grow old and gray
waiting for his coming.

] GLADSTONE COMES OVER
General Perter, Pullman's Powerful
Lieutenant. Even the Parrotsol
Gotham Slug Clevelands Praise.
New York, July 17th. 1894.
The busiest man in New York, at
present, is General Horace Porter
who, as Vice President of the Pull
man Car Co,, is possessed of near
ly as much authority and power
in this immense interprise, as Mr.
Pullman himself.
Instead of an accustomed pleas
ure trip to Europe, his summer,
far. has been one of perplexity and
hard work. For the last two weeks
he has been practically a prison
er in his office, answering the tele
grams that come in with every
tick of the clock ; looking over an
increased correspondence, which
is always enormous, and studving
the difficult chessboard of Chicago
with its game of capital and la
bor.
No one is better fitted for such
a trying and responsible position
than General Porter, whose impor
tant service on the staffs of Gener
als McClelland and Grant, of whom
he was a devoted friend, proves
him to be well versed m all the
strategies of war, and whose post
as Secretary of War, in General
Grant’s first Presidential term,
when the country was in an up
heaval of discontent, have given
him an experience in dealit g
with important political and so
cial disturbances.
Twenty years ago he became
connected with railroad interests,
and as President and Director, of
many Corporations, has shown
that he is endowed with great exe
cutive ability. It is little wond< r
therefore, that with such an able
suporter and adviser, Mr. Pullman
feels strong enough to maintain
his point.
Will he come, the Grand Old
Vai, to make us a visit? This is
the question of the moment to
New Yorkers, who are interested in
the invitation that the representa
tive citizens have sent to Mr. Glad
stone. to visit the land of the Stars
and Stripes
This is the subject of much ani
mate speculation just now. The
veteran statesman has many ad
mirers in New York, though there
are others who are lacking m due
respect to his statesmanship. T! e
latter class affect to pity him, be
cause he did not die before he was
forgotten.
The horse racing Premier has
already absorbed the trailng clouds
of glory, that attended the politi
cal passing of tke G. 0. M., and
they consider it certain that the
latter will come here, if only to
show his countrymen tLat oblivion
and neglect at home cannot dim
his reputation beyond the great
Atlantic.
Mr. Gladstone, if he does come,
will certainlj be the sensation of
rhe hour, and I doubt, if even his
iron constitution will be able to
stand the dinners, the receptions
and the public demonstrations of
every kind, that will be offered.
I am wondering whether ho will
get through the customs free of
duty, if he will be considered a
work of art, subject to high tariff>
or simply admitted at cost price
When ke arrives, there
is sure to be an epidemic
of Gladstone fashions, and
I suppose there will even be en
thusiasts to adopt thecollar,which
Punch has rendered so famous.
President Cleveland's proclama
tion has turned many of his en< - '
mies into admirers for the nonce,
and I have heard a number of en
ceniums passed upon his action.
In addition to sei eral important
individuals, who applaud his
course, 1 witness'd two pa’-rots
giving voice yesterday to similar
sentiments. These biids, ycu must
know, have been brought up in a
family of very prominent Repub
licans, who have much to do in
the affairs of the nation.
Their mistress said to them
“Did you hear that the President
had been so giod about Chicago?
Now, don’t you think that you
could give three cheers for Grov
er? Do it with me, ’ “Hoo, two,
hoo,” said the parrots, "larara, ta
rara, tarara.” Those birds would
not have done that a wee ago.

A particularly jolly school girl Mas
tboun into my company the other
morning on the surburban train. She
carried a small alligatorskin grip,pre.
sumably fur lunch and school bocks.
“Maj I wii’.e up that bag?”! asked
as she opened it to draw out the
purse to pay her fare,
“What for?”she inquired.
“Oh,just forfun!”said I,and she con
sented. This is Wil at the bag contain
ed.l wonler if it is a 8[ eccmen of
the average school girl’s carry all:
First, there was an apple, a big red
one, all the more attractive because
apples just now are so scarce. Then
there was a little bottle of sugar coat
ed pills.
Next. I found a paper o._loosened
invisible hairpins assorted sizes.
There were about sixty of them, and
they pointed all ways at once, like
porcupine quills.
Next came some pepermint loz
eugfcS.and four thimbles, followed bv
a little book called “Goldon Grain’
and a piece of trum done up in pink
tissue paper. N :xt came an assort
ment of small change,chiefily coppers
and a roll of court plaster.
A collection of two or three dozen
unanswered letters and several re
ceipts for freckle lotions and cold
cream followed. Then there were a
couple of gilt boxes containing assort
ed pins and a paper of conglomerate
caramels.
A knifo witht an open bLuh,*barp
eneJ,i dozen or more kid crimpers a
pocketbook t b ree hankerchiefs, a
c iromo of a png dor, a table napkin
and ant cktie came next.
In the bottom of the bag I found
crumbs,a comb in a case, a watch key
two door keys and a box of pens, a
small pocket mirro-, a nail cleaner a
bunch of dre s samples and the frag
ments of a dill pickle wrapped in sil
ver chocolate paper.
There was nothing more in the bag
excepting an umbrella sheath two. or
three photographs, a dozen or so shoe
buttons three button hooks and some
molasses candy!

HOW TO DRESS BABY.
MANY TIMES THE LIFE OE' THE IN
FANT IS SACRAFICED FOR ITS CLOTH-
ING.
There are some mothers who ruin
the health of baby in their exces
sive care for its clean clothes. The
poor little thing never gets to creep
over the fl core after the dancing
sunbeams or to kick its dimple
legs in the air in vain endeavor io
catch its piuk toes.
Not a bit of it It is fed at cer
tain hours, which is all right, but
afterward it is stretched in its crib
where its long dresses, starched till
they crack, are streightened out
like pillowslips and there it lies
with its legs pinioned down by
heavy skirts, its muscles growing
’ flabby from inaction and its blood
s'uggish.
If perchance it is permitted to
sit ud it is tied into a high chair
and its long skirts drag down on
its poor little coes till one would
think they would sprout corns.
lhe thing to do with a healthy
baby is to clean it twice a day
when it goes to bed at Jnight and
when it dresses fresh about the
middle of the day. The healthiest
babies tn the world get dressed
til tha morning for ail day.’
Just as soon as the child begins
to kick and want to get at its feet
it ought to be put in short clothes
and put on the floor to work out
ito own salvation. Its muscled
were given it to use, and it will

put them to the test if you gi«e
lit a chance. The mother who*
thinks more of her baby’s clothes
than she does of its health is quite
ikely to have them left on her
hands eternally clean.
A MOTHER SSACRIFICE.
“George, dear,” said the sweeth
joviug wife. “I do ‘not see how our
little one can go any longer without
a new pair of pantaloons. The ouh
ones he has, have been patched untij
he can wear them no longer.”
With a deep sigh the husband laid
down his paper. “I dont know what to
do Madeline,”he said, “I can’t afford
to buy him new ones just at present ’
Then, my darling, replied his bet
ter half, with a despairing gesture
“the worst has come. I shall have to
have tuy bicycle trousers made iv jr
for him.”

THE SORROWS OF WERTHER
BY JOHANN WOLFGANG GOETHE.
This romantic and pathetic sto
ry made its author famous, so
much so that people used to stand
and watch him as he passed along
the streets and say to each other :
‘‘There goes the man who wrote
Wert her,’ ”
When Goethe reached ripe m: n
hood and had developed his bril
bant style of writing, he called in
the books written in early life and
destroyed all but “Werther.”
Goethe is the greatest of all Ger
man authors, and “ Werther” has
been more widely and continuous
ly read than any other of his
books. It is published by the
Mascot Publishing Co. 169 Sixth
avenue, New York.
