Mr.. Pullman retired last evening at
his usual hour, which was mewhat

ton of his demise, or indeed any pre-
monition even of illness. He was al
his office in the Pullman building up

the cabinet making business at Albion.
| lie came to Chicago in 1859 and at first
engaged in the business of raising
buildings, elevating entire blocks a
number of feet to bring them up to
new street grades. While riding in an
old-fashioned sleeping car from Buff
falo to Westfield, y. Y. it occurred to
him that there was field for building
comfortable sleeping coaches. From
1859 to 1859 he made a series of expert
ments on the Chicago & Alton and Ga
lena roads.
The first car. the Pioneer, was COM
pleted early in 1885. and Immediately
took rank as the most perfect railway
vehicle the world had ever seen. This
was the beginning of the Pullman sys-
TEN, which has grown to the present
enormous proportions. Mr.. Pullman
was identified with almost every pub
lie enterprise in Chicago. The indus
trial town of Pullman, within the city
limits of Chicago, now contains over
