ter the surrender of Leo at Appo-
matox the Pioneer was employed to
carry Gen. Grant from Detroit to
his home in Galena, ILL.,, and then
the Michigan Central had to enlarge
Its capacity. The beginning was
made By that time, and railroad
rivalry did the rest. The Michigan,
Central and Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy contracted for Pullman car
service, aud in the course of few
years all the great railroads Of the
country did the Same. Even The
Wagner Company, Pullman's great
rival, though it continued to operate
cars over the Now York Central aud
some other roads, used tho paid roy
alties on important Pullman inven-
tions until the expiration Of the pa
tents in 1882.
Space will not permit the tracing
Of tho gradual improvement Of the
Pullman car to it's oulmlnation-for
the present-in the magnificent yes
tibuled trains Of today, each member
Of which as far Burpasses the old Pio-
neer as that did it's predecessors.
The vestibuled train WAS introduced
in 1887, which was twenty years af-

THE TOWN OF PULLMAN.
With the growth Of his car, build
ing industry Mr.. Pullman establish
cd a small town near his works in
the suburbs Of Chicago, which is
called Pullman. The town was built
with Wow to supplying the mon
employed in his shops with con-
venient place to live. Pullman ia
now q town Of $4,000 inhabi-
tants. In the savings bank there,
established by Mr.. Pullman, there is
Il total of 1912 depositors and de-
posts of more than half million
dollars. The employees of tho Pull
man Company are not compelled to
live in Pullman, but majority Of
| them do so from choice, as the rents
are cheap and everything possible
has been done by the company to
make the town healthful and enjoy
able place to live.
Pullman was ono OF Nr. .Pullman's
hobbies, and at tho international Ex-
hibition at Prague, q year or 30 ago,
where miniatures Of the various
"model" towns of the world wore OK
hibited, P man was judged to be

Mr. Pullman was at one time q
large stockholder and director in the
Union Pacific RAILROAD Company,

terested in the reorganization Of that
| company. He was also until few
years ago director in tho Diamond
Match Company. He was also a
director of the Union Pacific, Den.

Didn't Know it was not Turned On.

A good story is told by one OF the at.
taches of the Water Department in regard
to an incident which took place between
him and plumber who purchased resi-
dencc in the Western part Of the city. He
had occupied 1t for nearly two years and
was unable to get any kind OF head OF
water except stream about the size OF
his little finger. He met one OF the men
of theWater Department n few days ago
on the street and began to give expression
to what he thought Of it and the men con-
nocted with it. He then recited his griey-
ances ending up with the tact that the de.
partment was an enemy to the plumbers;
The gentlemen heard the complaint and
then Immediately telephone in to the office
corner Sixth and King streets, for the
team and two men who look after that
part OF the work. In less than half an
hour they were on the scene Of action and
taking his koy he proceeded to turn the
water on full head, when the plumber
said: "Well am surprised that did not
look at this before" The Roadway was
all could be desired and tho only reason
why the water did not flow freely was
because it had not been turned on full
head when the house was occupied. And
still the man who was plumber failed to
recognize this simple fact. Now he thinks
the water department and Its employees
are all right and the Brandywine water
the finest in the country.

representatives? Whose fault was it that
Muloueen failed to have true bill found
against him by the Grand Jury holding
him responsible for the death of Dorsey
Tho reflections cast upon the skill Of tho
homeopathic physicians deserve to be
cleared up by them. 1t Is plain to any
sane man that Dorsey received wound
from ball fired from a revolver and that
his death, which occurred three days later,
resulted from that wound. Now, some
body is responsible for the mans death,
directly or indirectly; who was it. the
man who fired tho revolver, the physicians
who attended him or the lawyers who
should have seen that no guilty man was
allowed to escape.

The SANG Old Story.

The average gambler who frequents the
outlawed race tracks at ElEton is one
day flush with money, flashing big roll
of notes and the next day comes around
dead broke and borrows fifty cents to pur-
chase square meal with. Some OF the
dead game sports in our city, have been
playing in hard luck almost from the 1l.ss
week after the races opened this year. The
game is hard one to run up against and
generally results in raking in oil the poor
devils who play the races, before they
have butted the tiger very long. They
then put up thor watches, diamond ri ngs
and studs to get q stake hoping against
fate that luck will turn their way and
they will be fortunate enough to get theiI
money back. But it is the same old story
they go broke
