Mr.. Pullman was born March g.
1881, in Brockton, Chautauqua county,
New York When IA years old he en-
tered a store in Westfield, N. Y, at a
salary of $40 year. AT II he Joined his
oldest brother in the business of cabi-
net making in Albion, N. Y, where his
family resided, Before he reached his
22d year his father died, leaving him
almost the only support of his mother
and five younger brothers and sisters.
This large responsibility compelled him
to seek a wider business field, which de-
cision took him to this city and shaped
his subsequent career.
In 1864 Mr.. Pullman, who had been
giving the sleeping car business close
attention, and who had become deeply
interested in the thought that there was
a wide field for inventive genius in that
direction, met a master car builder of
the Alton railroad, who was an old
friend, and paid him 500 a month to
take in charge the construction of a
model car. The great question with him
was how to have an upper and lower
berth that would be comfortable. They
were at that time the merest makeshifts
to afford a nights rest. Mr.. Pullmans

on long trips either as a day or a night
car. With this object in view he started
to build the Pioneer" 1t was a wonder
to everybody. The beauty of the finish
and the marvellous innovation were ad-
vertised far and near by the newspapers
and by railroad men, and some of the
latter began to believe that the ideas of
the inventor after all were practicable.

the improvements that the convenience
of the travelling public demanded. Ev
erywhere the beauty of the Pioneer was
talked of, and it was not strange that,
when General Grant came home from
the war, the use of the car was asked
to convey the great hero from Detroit to
Galena- The Michigan Central railroad
was compelled to do precisely what the
Alton road did-cut its platforms and
in other ways make way for the car
and from that time on the railroads pre-
pared themselves for the new palace car.
Up to 1867 Mr.. Pullman conducted the
business on his own account, but in that
year the Pullman company was organ
ized, and from then onward its growth
was constant and steady. Its capital in
creased to 500, 100000, upon which s per
cent dividends were regularly paid, and
it became the most powerful corpora
ton of it's kind in the world.
Mr. Pullmans wealth is variously es-
timated at from $4,000, 900 to $50, 900, OOO
His financial interests were confined to
a few corporations, the bulk Of the hold
ings being stock in the Pullman Palace
Car company, of which he owned about
one-fifth. Some stock was also held in
the Diamond Match and New York Bis
cult companies. Mr.. Pullman was mar
ried in 1867 to Hattie Sanger of Chicago

Portland, Me-, Oct. 15.-The pastors
of half dozen Portland churches held
a conference yesterday to consider
means for arousing an interest in tenn
perance. During the discussion Rev.
DR.. Blanchard said personally he did
not believe in the prohibitory law, while
very heartily believing in total abstin-
ence and in making a personal and
christian sacrifice for the sake of others.
Rev. Mr.. Malvern said that an ex-
perience of rs years had served to con-
vince him that minister who is I'M

usefuless come to an end. II do not

TEN YEARS YOUNGER.
A Happy Husbands Story.

morose, and from the sweetest and

became shrewish AMI hysterical. Fl

know there is a difference between
women who grow old naturally and
women who fade out from the effects

nate condition was a sore trial. l do

us if things had gone on as they were.
The change for the better came sud

FEW BUILDINGS STAND.

Hamlet.
Windsor, N. S., Oct. 18.-Historic
Windsor, one Of the most beautiful towns
in the provinces, was devastated by fire
Sunday morning. For six hours, begin
ming shortly before 3, the fire. famed
by violent gale, ragged so fercely that
the local department was absolutely
helpless TO cope with it, and within half
an hour after its discovery the mayor
began to call for outside assistance.
Long before noon the town had beer
almost completely eaten up, the area
covered by the flames being almost a.
mile square, and of the 400 or more build
ings occupying this section barely half g.
dozen scorched structures remain. All
Is waste of ruins. The buildings that
escaped include the Windsor cotton fac
tory, Kings college, the Anglican
church, Edgebill school for girls and
Dufferin hotel. The latter is the only
hotel left standing.
No Nova Scotia town has ever beer.
visited by a confagration of such di-
mansions. OF the $500 people inhabit-
ing the place, there are very few who
have homes of their own today. Over
5000 have been taken in by the residents
of the outskirts and the surrounding
country and neighboring towns, while
the remainder of the sufferers have gone
to Halifax or are sheltered in army tents
erected in the vacant plots by a detach-
ment of British troops from the garrison
city. The disaster is appalling in it's ex-
tent and dread consequences, to recover
from which will be a matter of many
years.
The fire started in barn in the heart
of the business district. The gale car
ried the flames to other buildings before
the firemen had time to get at work, and
m a short time the showers of sparks
carried in all directions had ignited a
score of buildings. The occupants of
dwellings, had time enough to hurry on
some clothing and to drag some goods
into the streets, but there was no place
of safety to which anything could be re-
moved quick enough to save it from being
destroyed or damaged.
The flames cut a clean gap from the
waters edge on the business front to the
forests in the rear, bound by Ferry hill
on the south side and by Fort Edwards
on the north. During the past few years
erected, but these were, generally speak
ing, contiguous to old wooden buildings,
and all went down together before the
furious flames, to stay which was beyond
the power of man.
The origin of the fire is somewhat
mysterious. A lightning storm passed
over the town before the flames burst
forth, and some think the barn in which
they started may have been struck by a
flash from the clouds; but many strongly
suspect that the conflagration originated
through the carelessness or worse act
Of one or more drunken toughs.
The total loss is estimated roughly at
So, 900 900. While a number of the
heaviest losers are partially insured, and
some of them pretty well covered. the
total insurance is calculated to be not
more than 100000.
