Chicago, Feb. 15.-When George NJ.
Pullman, the palace car magnate, open
ed his New York Journal a day or two
ago and read that his son, Sanger, was
going into the business of selling cham
pagne he was so deeply effected that
this afternoon he departed for New
York with the express intention of dis
suading his discarded heir from such
a purpose, and, if possible effecting
reconciliation with him His friends
say he was more markedly agitated
than at any time during the great DebS
strike, when his millions were at stake.
1t was less than a month ago that
Sanger was disinherited and told to go
out in the cold world and shift for him
self. How he went to New York and
became engaged by Frank Hubbard as
an agent for the sale of a certain brand
of champagne has been told in the
Journal.
Sanger is one os a pair of twins,
George NJ. Pullman, Jr., being the 9TH
er. They were born % years ago and
look so much alike that their intimate
friends have trouble in telling them
apart. They were hardly out of their
knickerbOckers when they set a pace in
life so swift as to astonish their older
and better seasoned companions. They
We're furnished with plenty of money
and they spent it prodigally. For
time the father saw no reason to check
his sons in their high rolling. He knew
were explained as youthful prankS and
no word of censure escaped his lips.
Still he was greatly relieved a year
ago when George NJ Jr., became en-
daughter of Ex-Governor Oglesby, and
in order to satisfy that young lady,
dropped his objectiona BILE habits. The
young fellow was deVOtedly attached to
his fiancee and soon settled down to a
quiet life. Pullman pere foundly hoped
that the excellent example set by one
son would be followed by the other,
but he was disappointed.
Sanger showed no singns of Stacking
his pace, and time and time again Mr..
Pullman found it necessary to bring all
his influence to bear to save the youth
from trouble, but the latter was hard
1y out of one Scrape be fore he was in
another.
These "boyish pranks'' had a culmi-
nation a few weeks ago, when Sanger
appeared al the Auditorium Annex with
a woman whose reputation was not of
the best and introduced her as his wife.
Summoning the boy before him, Mr..
Pullman asked for an explanation;
none was forthcoming. and Sanger was
informed that he would be punished by
disinheritence. More than that ne must
leave the Pullman mansion and make
his way in the world. If he conducted
himself properly, he would again be
welcomed to the Pullman hearthstone,
but if he did not he never need look for
a penny of the Pullman millions. San
ger never Whimpered, but swallowed
his medicine like a man and, as has
been proved. he lost no time in putting
himself in the way of making a living.
1t is a question which scandalized Mr.
Pullman the mOre-the Auditorium cpl
SOde or the fact that his son was de-
termined to make his way by selling
wine. The life of a wine agent is not
an easy one, and he is taken to places
in the pursuit of business that are ta-
booed by careful fathers.
But no matter what Mr. Pullman's s
feelings in the matter may be, he is
determined on one thing. He will pre-
vail upon his son to return and be for
given, and if necessary he will kill the
biggest fatted calf in his friend Ar
mour's stock yards to make the event
a thoroughly happy one.
