| H t 4 i} The Sleeping (ar Magnate Expires Rathe uddenly. A BRIEF OUTLINE OF EIS LIFE Enormous Wealth Piled Up by His Inven- tion of the Palace Car—The Found- an Ideal City for His mployes. Cuicaco, Oct. 30.—George M. Pull- man, inventor of the sleeping car which bears his name, president of the Pullman Palace Car company and multi-zaillionaire, died suddenly at ti o'clock yesterday morning of angina pectoris. Afterhe left his office at five o'clock Monday afternoon Mr. Pull- man went to his residence and re- mained there allevening. He retired at his usual hour. About 4:40 o'clock in the morning he awoke and called his body ser t to his bedside and spoke of feeling uncomfortable. Finally he re- quested that the family physician, Dr. Lillings, be sent for. Before the doctor vame Mr. Pullman became uncon- scious. When Dr. Billings arrived at the house he applied restoratives but without avail and Mr. Pullman quietly passed away without regaining con- sciousness, A BRIEF OUTLINE OF HIS LIFE. George M. Pullman was born in Chautauqua county, N. Y.. in March, 1831. He ten children, six of whom were boys. he was noted for a desire to learf and a pe sistence in prosecuting to success any unde! taking. He clerked a year for 4), learned the trade of a cabinet maker with an elder brother; studied civil engineering and supported his widowed mother at 18; and many years later, when he had accumulated a fortune, he built for acr @ palatial summer residence called “Castle Rest,” among the rocks and woods on an island of the St. Lawrence. Mr. Pullman came to Chicago In 1859 with a eapital of 16,000, and at once took contracts for raising buildings. Under his direct supervision massive blocks of houses were literally lifted up live to seven feet without disturbing the oc- cupants or interfering with the usual routine «/ business. The world had witnessed nothing lwo it before. About this time Mr. Pullman was attracted to Colorado by the gold discoveries and re- mained there three years in civil engineering, adding largely to his accumulations On his return to Chicago he invented the compara- tively crude original of the present Pullman car. The car was improved and the manufac- turing compavy of which Mr. Pullman was president grew until the year of the great strike its capital stock was 140,000,000, and it carried 13,000 men on its pay roll in the various branches of employment. The annual product of its shops was 612,000,000 to $15,000,000; its in- come from rentals $1,500,000; the amount paid for wages 7,000,000. The average wages of men employed, below general officers, mana- wers and superintendents, were %600 a year. About 2,500 Pullman palace cars are in service under contracts, covering 125,000 miles of rail- road. ‘The 1804 strike caused Mr. Pullman‘s reputa- tion to suffer because of the representations of the orignal strikers that his methods and the conduct of his town had been harsh and op- pressive and it was also charged that, unlike many other multi-millionaires, he had never given much to charity. One of Mr. Pullman's greatest achievements was the creation of an ideal town, as the site of his stupendous manufactory, with ideal houses for the workmen employed. He had long believed that pleasant homes with beauti- ful surroundings would be appreciated by workingmen, and tend to make them con- tented. He decided to test the experiment. For this purpose the Pullman Land associa- tion, by George M. Pullman, president, bought a tract of 3,009 acres of prairie land on the shore of Lake Cs!umet. about 18 tailes from the business center of Chicago. The town of Pullman is marvelous in its complete- ness and beauty; in providing the comforts and advantages of a city; in the entire avoidance of objectionable features as a place of residence. ‘There fs not a saloon in the town. which now has # population of more than 12,000, not a po- lice officer, a constable a justice of the peace, acourt or jai. Aside from th mi-paternal government by the company, eve: man gov. erns himself. It isa model community. The Pullman Land association leases the houses to employes of the factory and others at a moder- ate rental, including water and light. Mr. Pull- man himself started the public library by giv- ing 5,0) volumes asa nucleus. The books are read by the mechanics and their families. The usual allurements of vice found in a city do not exist in thiscommunity. In the absence of sa- loons men spend their evenings at home. In 1807 Harriet Sanger, daughter of J. Y. Sanger. of Ottawa, Il, was married to George M. Pullman. There are two daughters, Flor- ence and Harriet, besides twin sons, Sang: and George now young men. THE ORDER RESCINDED. Farmers Will Not Ke Expelled from the Otoe Indian Reservation. Gvururir, Ok., Oct. 20.—Recently an order was issued by the bureau of In- dian affairs at Washington to Maj. Sharpe to expel all intruders from the Otoe reservation by October 20. If their property was not off the reserva- tion by that time it was to be confis- cated and the farmers were not to be allowed on the lands under penalty of $1,000 fine and imprisonment. This was a severe order and the department must have realized that it was an un- just one, because it was rescinded yes- terday and Agent Sharpe notitied. The best example of farming the Otoes can have is the retention of these white farmers who are developing their res- ervation and makingit protitable both to themselves and to the Indians.
