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. ARRESTED IN WYOMING.

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.

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.

THE HUSTLER OF ROMF w FDNESDAY, JULY. 18, 1894 mt mi mill; Will “Put The Big* Pot in The Little One” it ] 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. even if encouraged by the family, j FOR WOMEN FOLKS CONTENTS OF A GIRL'S GRIP articles that would envy a dime mu SLUM KEEPER. 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! In making griddle cakes each quart of milk or water will take a heaping pint of flour or meal to make batter just right. If it be comes too thick by standing over long it may be thinned a little. When you are about to make jel ly take a fair Jay for it—never a 'cloudy ope. Fair weather has much to do with the color and flavor of jellies, and the process is not nearly so long as when the day is sunless. 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.

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.” Try and application of ripe toma toes to the ink strains and iron rust on your white clothes. Never apply ii to colored clothes, however, for toma toes will extract all the cclor as well. 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.
