Inc lurid career of the widest twins in
america has extended from New York
TO the Golden Gate. Their noisiest exploits
were performed in Chicago, where, of
course, they would attract most atten-
ton, but they cut quite a figure in New
Yorks Tenderloin. Sanger Tor brief
period did business as a champagne
pusher, business which would surely
have killed him.
In 1895 and 1896 the young twins began

IWenty-fourth and Twentieth streets on

The father was very anAious that they
snould become handwriting citizens like
nlInsef, and although he did not treat
them meanly, he, did not give them as
iarge an allowance as his fortune would
nave enabled himotoi0 However, what he
ala not allow them they took by borrow
ing and other devices open to the sons
of mtllionaires 90 e.
Neither of them received any educa-
Ion 10 speak of. George was at an acad-
envy Tor a few months, and they had
TO divide that between them. They are
not aWruI examples of what a college
education will do.
They grew up to be tall, well-buiIt fell

They are singularly alike w personal ap-

years old.
When the twins found themselves too
snort or ready money to pay Tor the large
quantities OF champagne ard other liquids
they were accustomed to consume or pay
Tor at various resorts, they hit on an in
genious method of meeting the situat ton.
They established an account with a wine
merchant who trusted them in the name
OF Pullman and carried the bottles
around with them in a cab. From time
to time they would drop a bottle, which
would explode with a loud noise and
cause some little excitement.
One of their worst escapades occurred
IN the buffet of the Auditorium annex.
This ts a place where the richest men
IN Chicago are in the habit of gather
ing. Mr.. Pullmans office was only a
Few blocks away, and he was often there.
A group of his old friends and associates
were seated there one afternoon when a
young man with a yoLhg woman COM
panton staggered II,
1t was Sanger Pullman, drunk but
cheerful. His companions hat was hang
ing over one ear. Without a moment S
hesitation he proceeded to introduce her
to the outraged milionaires and magnates
of Chicago.
The father heard Of this episode and
ordered his son to go to work. In COM
pliance with the order he started In the
champagne business In New York. He
was rescued from it by his father
One night George Pullman was arrested
In Chicago for beating a crippled cabman.
1t was an accumulation of incidents like
these that led Mr.. Pullman to cut his
cons off with $1,000 a year each. He had
to pay 100000 OF their bills. When they
were hard up they borrowed at enormous
rates Of interest from low Clark street
money lenders, from hotel bell boys and
from anybody else. Their father had to
settle their bills. 1t Is generally believed
that their behavior worried him into a
premature grave.
When the father died in 1897 George
was engaged to Miss Felicite Oglesby, a
famous belle OF Chicago. daughter of ex-
Gov. Oglesby, Of Illinois. When the will
was read, leaving next to nothing to
George, the engagement was broken.
At the same time Sanger Pullman was
engaged to Miss Lynee Fernald, daughter
Of j. w. Fernald, an eminent Chicago
dealer in feed. He had never officially
given his sanction to the engagement, and
when the Will was announced he made
his daughter break it Oft.
Sanger then went further West In
search of consolation He found It in San
Francisco. After two weeks acQIatn-
lance with Miss Louise Lander West
they got into a hack. drove to g clergy
mans house and got married. Miss West
who was a school teacher, Is handsome
with auburn tresses and Junoesque fig
ure.
1t was in March, 1885, that sanger's
fate was settled. In August of the same
| year George hurriedIy left New Jersey
In company with Miss Fernald, lately his
brothers fiancee, and they were mar
ried in New York.
Since then George has been behaving
| as badly as ever. He has euarrelled with
his wife and has announced that he will
get divorce and has grounds for it. His
wife's friends say that the grievances
are all on her side, but that she Is try
ing to arrange matters amicably with
her husband.
| On account Of this continued ill-be-
havior, it has been decided that the gold
| cure Is the only hope for George. How
unpromising his frame of mind is may be
judged by the conversation he had with
| a reporter before going away.
ITS like this, he said, as ne drank

mo more booze after next Tuesday
Remember I drink no more. Mother will
not have it and I must have money. y
With an air of enc who wished to lose
none of the little remaining time the
young man ordered another drink.
