The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-20

she appeals to him by the only agency
at her command-that of his need for
money, which he feels strongly.
After a period of respectabi industry
and sobriety enforced through this
agency, it is hoped that he will learn
to love such a life for its own sake and
reform permanently. That is his moth
er's prayer. That is the desired solu-
ton of the problem of human nature
which is now being worked out.
The devout will see in this case the
devil battling for a young mans soul,
and pray that the evil one will be de-
feated.
1t is a strange fact that the late George
M. Pullman, the model self-made man of
America, the man whose name has be-
come proverbial all over the country for
self-denial, industry and sobriety, left
twin sons, who have earned an equally
widespread reputation for self indulgence,
idleness and intemperance.
George M. and Walter Sanger Pull
man are the most troublesome twins of
any Importance in America Georges
case is the more acute just now, although
hitherto Sanger has kept pace with him.
Sanger has been conducting himself with
great proprety for some time, and u.s. of
course, receiving every encouragement
from his mother in his course.
The twins have figured III a great num-
Der OF sensational episodes. They drove
about the streets of Chicago in cabs full
Of bottles of champagne. With drunken
gayety they accosted the haughtiest mil
lionaires in Chicago
For twins SO young their matrimonial
experiences have been extensive. George
was Tilted by Miss Felicite OgIesby, and
married Miss Lynne Fernald, who had
been engaged to his brother, Sanger. Both
he and she now threaten to get divorce.
Sanger married Miss Louise West against
the wishes Of his family
In order to understand how the twins
are dependent upon their mother for any
hope OF wealth, it is necessary to recall
! the will of the late Mr.. Pullman. The
| behavior of his sons had long angered
him, and he was, moreover, much fonder
| of his two daughters. Florence and Ear-
riet than of his sons.
When he died he left an income Of $780,
! 600 a year to his widow, and in addition
the income from a sum of 1880, 000 to
be held In trust during her lifetime. She
also received the great house on Prairie
avenue, Chicago, and the two country
houses Castle Rest, in the Thou
sand Islands, and one at Elber-
on, N. J. With the exception of
the house at Elberon, however, all this
property-money and houses-was to go
to the daughters at her death. They re-
ceived the residue Of the estate after the
widow and various minor legatees had
been provided for.
To his twin sons Mr.. Pullman left an
| income of 5000 a year apiece. He ex1
planned very carefully why he cut them
| off with this sum. 'fInasmuch,'' he said,
"as neither of my sons has developed such
/ sense of responsibility as In my judg-
ment is requisite for the wise use of large
properties and considerable sums Of
money, I am painfully con PEELED, as I
have explicitly stated to them, to limit
my testamentary provisions for their
benefit to trusts, producing only such
incomes as 1 deem reasonable for their
support"
| S10,000,000 at the time he died, although
it had always been thought to be much
| larger
1t will be seen that Mrs. Pullman has
not the power to give away very large
sums of money outright to her sons, but
as she enjoys an income of probably more
| than 100000 a year, and lives very quiz
city, she would have plenty of money to
reward them for good behavior More
| over, the two sisters, who are attached
to their brothers, would gladly share their
fathers wealth with them If they would
show " sense of responsibility" as the
| late millionaire put 1t. 1t Is, therefore, no
| exaggeration to say that the young men
