PULLMAN S UNRULY SON
The Palace Car Magnate Don't
Want Him In Wine Trade.
HE WAS RECENTLY DIsIEHBRITBD,

This. It Was Said, Was Done M a Matter
of Discipline For wild Life Ia Chicago
Pullman Now Wants His SON TO Return
and he Forgiven.
CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-whon George NJ
Pullman, the palace car magnate read in
a New York paper that his son Sanger was
going into the business of selling cham
pagne, he was so deeply affected that he
departed at once for that city with the ex
press intention of dissuading his discard
ed heir from such a purpose and If posi-
BILE oifecting a reconciliation with him.
His friends say he was moro markedly agi.
tatcd than at any time during the great
Debs strike, when his millions were at
stake.
1t was less than month ago that San
ger was disinhcrited and told to go out in
the cold world and shift for himself 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 recently published
Sanger is one of pair of twins George
NJ Pullman, lr being the other. They
were born % years ago and look so mucl
alike that their intimate friends have
trouble I'm telling them apart They wert
hardly out of knickcrhockers when they
set pace in life 50 swift as 20 astonist
their older and better seasoned compan
ions They were furnished with plenty Of
money, and they spent it rrodigally. Foi
p time the father saw no reason to check
his sons in their high rolling He knew OF
some of their escapgdes, but they were al.
ways explained as youthful pranks, and
no word of censure escaped his lips.
Didn't Follow His Brothers Example.
Still he was greatly relieved n year age
when George NJ, Jr., became engaged tc
Miss Felicite Ogleshy the daughter Of ex
Governor Oglesby, and I'm order 20 satisfy
that young lady dropped his objectionable
habits. ! he young fellow was deyotedly
attached to his fiancee and soon settled
down to q quiet life Mr. Pullman fondly
hoped that the excellent example set 10y
one son would be followed by the other
but he was disappointed.
Sanger showed no signs of Stacking hi,
pace, and time and time again Mr. Pull
man found it necessary 60 bring all his in
fluence to bear to save the youth from
trouble, but the latter was hardly out o.
one scrapc before he was in another
These boyish pranks" had q culmina
ton a few weeks ago, when Sanger ap
peared at the Auditorium annex in com
| pany with a woman whose reputation wa
not OF the best and introduced he' as hi
wife.
Summoning the boy before him, Mr
Pullman asked for an explanation. Non
was forthcoming and Sanger was inform
cd that he would be punished by disinher
itance. More than that he must leave tn
| Pullman mansion and make his own wa
in the world. If he conducted himsel
properly, he would again be welcomed {
the Pullman hearthstone, but II he did no
he need not look for a penny of the Pull
man millions. Sanger never whimpered
but swallowed his medicine like a man
and, as has been proved, he lost no tim
in putting himself in the way of maxim
q living.
It is question which scandalizcd Nj
Pullman the more-tho Auditorium ep
sode or the fact that the son had dete
mined TO make his way by selling win
The life of wine agent Is not an cas-
one and ne is taken TO places in the pul
suit Of business that are tabooed by car'
full fathers
But no matter what Mr.. Pullman
feelings in the matter may be he is detei
mined on one thing He will prevail upo
his son to return and be forgiven, and
necessary he will kill the biggest fatte
calf in his friend Armour's stoclSyards I
make the event thoroughly happy one.
