* at the announce _ Chicago and personally solicited DEATH OF GEORGE PULLMAN A WARNING TORICH FATHERS '. Riotous Career of the Twins Was a Tragic Disappointment to the Doting Million- aire Palace-Car Mag- nate—An Old Man at Thirty, the Son's End Is No Surprise. ‘There wan little surprise in New York ent of George M. Pull- man's death in San Mateo, Cal., yeater- day. The young man was tottering on the verge of the grave when ho left this city Inst summer. Although not yet thirty, ho had the parchment face and the halting galt of an old man. Pneumonia seized him and destroyed his weakened vitality an heat melts the snow, In the death of this young-old man— the wenker of the famous Pullman twins both in mind and body—there ap- pears to be a lesson to young men of wealth and to indulgent millionalre fathers alike. The career of George M. Pullman was a@ pitiful failure, The question ts wheth- er or not much of the fault rested with the loving father and the doting mother, In the history of American Industry there Is no more sturdy figure than that of the elder George M. Pullman, When death came to him four years ago he was an old man, but vigorous, full of honors and with a life record that was clean. ‘That auch a father should have been in any measure responsible for two audh boys as the Pullman twins fs a thought-compelling commentary upon our strenuous life. Soon Made His Mark. ‘The elder Pullman was born in this @tate. Ho was a country boy, Dut farm life syas not for him. Early In life he went to Chicago, then a ewaddling but lusty infant among American cittes. By untiring industry and the exercise of a powerful business intellect he made his mark within a ghort time. It was he who first conquored tho swampy soll of Chicago in the interest of tall buildings, In those days a butld- ing seven stories high was considered a monster. Experienced men eald that tho bossy foundation of the e!ty would not stand such a weight, Mr. Pullman showed hat {t would, and thus lald the founda- tion for his millfons. His beginning as a aleeping-car mag- nate was characteristic. He manufac- tured one sleeping-car and after tireless persuasion got the permission of a rall- road to try It. He stood in the raflway station in the patronage of passengers. If they were not sulted, he gaia. he would give thcm thelr $3 back. These methods gained attention, travellers found the slcep- carn a boon and George M. Pullman butlt more of them. Great factories arose in South Chi- and in these sleeping cars, palace all sorts of cars were turned out. Ballt Town for Workmen. George M. Pullman built a town for his employees, school and gave largely to charity. In all his business career he made not one single mistake, when {t is looked upon from a material standpoint. But this unerring business sense de- serted him when he assumed the re- sponsibility of rearing bia twin boys. His whole Ife was wrapped up in them. He determined that he would mould them to his own mind and make them worthy successors to his honored name and his tremendous fortune, ‘They were not sent to school in their early youth. The soclety of ordinary boys was not good enough for them. ‘The sturdy father, who had grown up barefoot and with a rudimentary edu- cation, hired a tutor for his twin boys. ‘They were kept secluded and thelr every wieh was gratified, As a natural result, the twins became the terrora of the nelghberhood. They did as they pleased, Their pin money was out of all proportion to thelr needs. While stil In knickerbocers they were promoters of bull-dog fights. ‘The hothouse atmosphere in which the boys Ilved forced their bad instincts. At an age when the average youth is beginning to note with mixed alarm and gratification that his voice is get- ting coarse the Pullman twins were rid- $18,000,000 IN CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
