This Morning.
Special TO EVENING HERALD.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19,--George M. Pullman
died very suddenly at his home here this
morning.
George M. Pullman the founder and presi-
dent Of the Pullman Palace Car Co., was
born in Brockton, N. Y, on March 3, 1881.
With a common school education he went
into a country store in 1s45, and subsequent
ly removed TO Albion. N. Y, and learned
cabinet making with his brother. In 1889 he
settled in Chicago and gained perhaps $780,
600 by raising buildings and streets when
that city was being lifted bodily to higher
level. His attention was then drawn to the
uncomfortable sleeping cars Of that day, and
subsequently, in 1867, organized the palace
car company, of which he was president at
the time Of his death. The company was
first capitalized at 81, 100000 but it is now
$40 200, 900. A few years ago he established
the town of Pullman, on a track Of 1000
acres, at an expense of Ss,OOO,0 900. Mr.. Pull
man was liberal man, and gave 100000 to
the new art museum In Chicago.

~ had a queer experience some years
ago, 4" remarked leading physician in
the city. II was travelling through Il
linois with a companion OIL business,
and we had to pass through town call
ed Olney, where we afterward learned
that an epidemic of smallpox prevailed.
We went to some of the farmers living
in that vicinity to get something to eat,
and as soon as they found that we had
passed through Olney they ordered US
out Of their houses. We were compelled
to take train and leave that section OF
the state, and in about two weeks we
were both taken with severe pains in
the head and spinal column. We went
to bed, and the next morning we both
had high fevers and did not know what
to do Finally we decided that the
proper thing to do would be to send for
the hotel keeper and tell him that we
had the smallpox, or at least had been
exposed to it, and did not know what to
do under the ci, :umstances.
"Of course we expected to have him
swear and finally throw us out of the
house, but we wanted him to find some
other place for us to 60 When he APP

EUROPE,S COLONIES.
OF All the Powers Spain Alone Is Fall
ing Steadily Behind.

OF All the Powers Spain Alone Is Fall
ing Steadily Behind.
The only one of the European coun-
tries having colonial possessions which
is failing in respect of number, wealth
and population is Spain, once the chief
colonial power of the European CONT
nent. While other governments have
been extending their influence and pos
sessions, Spain has been falling in the
rear, and the reason for this is seen
clearly in Cuba and the Philippines.
Wasteful, oppressive, mercenary and in
efficient government is the direct cause.
In census of the colonial possessions
Of governments made 90 years ago it ap-
peared that the total colonial possessions
of Great Britain covered 1000, 600
square miles, or more than 60 times the
extent of the United Kingdom, and had
a population of about 200, 600, 000.
France had foreign colonies, exclusive of
Algeria, covering 400, 900 English square
miles, with population of 10000 600.
The colonial possessions of Spain, the
remnant of the heritage from Spain's
nayigators, covered an area of lis, 900
English square miles, with population
Of 100000 Germany, newly estab-
lished as united government, had no
foreign colonies Neither had any of
the German states. The colonies of the
Netherlands covered 666,000 square
miles and had q population of 24,000,-
OCO. Belgium had no colonies. Den
marks colonies were chiefly islands, the
total population being about 90, 600.
Norway and Sweden had one small is
land, and Portugal had colonies cover
ing 713, 900 English miles, with popu-
lation of 1000, 200. Since that time
most European governments have ex-
tended their territory.
The British empire now covers H.
100000 square miles, of which only
100, 900 are in the United Kingdom.
The population Of the English colonies
is $40, 900, 900. The colonies of France
cover 300, 900 square miles and havea
population of 100000. The area of
the colonies of the Netherlands is $780,
900 miles, and the population is 20, 0O0,-
900. There are nearly 10000 sub
jects of the German empire in Africa
and 5000, 900 of Belgium.
The Russians have spread their colo
MES until these have in Asia popula-
ton in excess of 80, 900, 600, and though
the population of Portugal is less than
5000, 900, the colonies of Portugal have
collectively a population in excess of
5000, 900, the area of Portugal's colonies
being 80 times greater than that of the
home country. Denmark s colonies have
spread, though not much, and Italy has
appeared among European nations hav-
ing colonial possessions. Spain alone
has made no Roadway. There has been
no increase of her possessions or of the
population Of them. Many districts of
Cuba and few of these of the Philip
pines have been devastated by war, and
the commerce of these colonies with the
home country has declined appreciably.
The Spaniards are i'll no position to hope
for an extension Of their colonial pos
sessions. Indeed all present indications
point to the ultimate withdrawal of
Spain from much territory that she now
rules. New York Sum
