lished a history of the sleeping car IN
which it asserted that the first patent
was taken out in 1859 by John H Nor
rison Of Detroit. The car was built with
reference to storage capacity rather than
comfort. A central partition divided

the partition on each side and three
tiers of hunks We're let down ut night
Thomas McMill Of Philadelphia and
John Banner of Canton, o., also took
out patents that year. according to The
Railway Age. Nowhere in this histor-
ical sketch appears the name Of Thomas
T. Woodruff or Webster Wagner, and
Pullman name is dragged i'll quite in
cidentally. Yet the world is indebted to
these three men for the privilege of
sleeping in comfort when travelling.
The debt is one of gratitude and not Of
money, for all three got rich out Of it.
The earliest sleeping cars Of which l
have been able to find any mention
were operated in the thirties over the
Cumberland Valley railroad between
Cumberland and Harrisburg. They were
so crude and uncomfortable that they
were finally taken from the rails, and
then the sleeping car idea practically
slept until Woodruff took it up
Woodruff was native of Water
town, N. Y. In fact, all three of the
early promoters of sleeping cars were
born in the Empire State. 1t may be
that it was the combination of New
York nativity and cultivation of the
sleeping car notion that caused them
all to wear chin whiskers of a peculiar
cut during the period OF their greatest
prosperity. Certainly some influence or
influences worked to that end While
yet a young man Woodruff removed to
Indiana and there became master car
builder Of the Alton and Terre Haute
railroad.
Perhaps when boy he had ridden on
one of the awful sleeping cars in use
at one time in Pennsylvan ia At all
events, he Lad notion that he could
make car in which passengers could
sleep with comfort, and he urged upon
his employers to Let hiln build one for
them They protested to believe that he
had a good thing, but they would not

get rid of him, gave him letters to some
eastern men. Armed with these, Wood
ruff went to Rome. N. ", and there in
the Office of james Tilinghast got up
a model Of his car. Tillinghast was
then in the employ of the Rome and
Watertovn road, and he like the man

said he thought the scheme a great one,
but neither would he advance any cash,
and it was not until Woodruff got the
idea before Car Builder Watson of
Springfield, Mass, that full sized car
was built
When the car was finished, Woodruff
ran it for a little time over the New
York Central and the Rome and West
ern railroad lines, charging 90 cents
over and above the regular fare for a

both were killed in railroad accidents.

It was in 1857 that Pnllman's atten
ton was first seriously directed to the
sleeping car problem. He had been NOV

operation and was going TO Chicago tc

Woodruff s or Wagner's cars 1t was
Wretched affair compared with the won
derful wheeled palaces that today glide
easily and noiselessly over modern rail
roads. and the young building mover
could not sleep.
As he lay and was buffeted the long
night through visions came before him
of what could be done to make the car
ride easier and in the way of furnishing
more commodious quarters to passen-
gers. 1t was during that ride that he
devised the six and eight wheeled trucks
that are now found under sleeping cars
not only, but most high class day
coaches, and which contri butte so mate
rally to smooth riding. He also resolv-
ed that night that if he ever built
sleeping csr it should be rOOmy and not
constructed. as were the early Woodruff
and Wagner cars, with an eye almost
solely to packing in as many passengers
as possible. These old cars had three
rows of hunks on each side, and while
each furnished seats for only about 90
passengers there were hunks for 20.
It was not till 1864 that Pullman
built his first car He had materially
increased his basket and store rails
ing and moving buildings in Chicago
and devoted u few years to gold mining
at Pixies peak and in its vicinity and
was in the prime of his manhood when
he began at the bottom in the career
which was to make him one Of tho rich

spread his name to the uttermOst parts
of the earth. This latter is literally true

Pullman cars into the Celestial Empire.
Pullman was in better shape to begin
than was Woodruff when he began
Woodruff was poor and had to borrow
his capital; Pullman had his own.
Woodruff tried to get his car up rs
cheaply as possible: Pullman studied
how to spend money in its construction.

to the distraction of the railroad CON-
panies who seek to carry it eastward

turned up her cornucopia and poured

If there is restitution, however, it can
not be laid up against the hot winds and

But when a farmer has to sell his
wheat for almost what it costs to raise it

with as little as they could get along
with; Pullman strove to give them SO
much that they could not ask for more
at least SO much that they could not
find more in any other cars. 1t took
Pullman 4 whole year to build his first
car. and when it was done it had cost
SIS. 600, but never was like sum more
