The two engagements were an
nounced almost simultaneously. Miss
Lynne Fernald, the daughter of Mrs.
]. w. Fernald of Chicago, plighted her
troth to Sanger Pullman. Within a
few days it was announced that George
Pullman, Jr., was engaged TO Miss Fee
licite Oglesby, daughter of the form
er governor of Illinois of that name
Immediately after the publication of
the terms of the Pullman will disin-
heriting the twins, both young ladies
promptly sought release from their re-
spective engagements.
After their disinheritance, the twins

there was no appreciable diminution Of

were married privately in New York
and when Sanger heard of the event
he telegraphed his brother his sincere
congratulations.
Not SO long after this Sanger him
self was married without parental con-
sent to young woman in California,
and when he arrived in Chicago to
seek his mothers blessing, he was met
by his brother George, who gave him
every assurance of his affection and
support. From that time on Sanger
and his wife have lived happily. 1t
was to the doomed George that the
trouble came.
Very shortly after his brother
Sanger's marriage he resumed former
friendship with Mrs. Blanche Bowers,
one of the playmates of his childhood,
and the wife of the composer of sew
eral popular songs. The two were
seen together constantly. George took
Mrs. Bowers to New York, and it was
while living with her at the Gerard

sympathy for the two boys might
have been more marked II 1t had not
been for the known intention Of their
mother, made public very shortly after
the publication of the terms of the will,
to provide for them handsomely from
her own splendid jointure She made
good her promises in no uncertain way,
and since their fathers death the twins
have suffered no lack of luxury. 1t
was In their doings before and after
their fathers death that the newspa-
pers of New York and Chicago, not to
speak of other cities, found the pre-
text for biographical sketches that
were not always complimentary.
One of the beautiful features of this
strange modern domestic romance has
been the lasting and imperishable af
lection that has always existed be-
tween the two brothers. When either
one has been in q scrape or in any sort
of ENHANCEMENT the other has invaria-
bly, stood by him. Sanger Pullman
was at his brother Georges bedside
when he passed away He was never
away from him when he was in trouble.
The first trouble came. perhaps
while the parents were in Europe
shortly after the twins had returned
from separate schools in the East.
Young George and his brother Sang
er, handsome as young gods in these
days, became the dual center-piece OF
a rapidly moving coterie of young men
OF the town, who spilled champagne by
the bucket, patronized all the first
nights at the theaters, consumed all
the Holsters and Welsh rarebits that
were to be had for money, and in other
ways managed to interest themselves
in the industry of burning the candle
OF life at both ends.
These, of course. were wild oats OF
the more trivial sort The tragedy be-
gan to darken when the blessed state
OF matrimony hove into view as a pos
sible solution of the destiny of the
twins. 1t was the matrimonial expe-
rience of both that gave the newspaper
historians their best opportunities, and
that brought to both brothers a noto-
riety that either, no doubt, would have
gladly escaped.

Young animals will give more gain
for the same amount of feed than will
older animals. There is no advantage
in farmers carrying along their ami
mails with just enough feed to keep
them alive. 1t is not wise to have the
hogs on scant feed either summer or
winter. Swill and milk will not work
well with silage, that combination
making an unbalanced ration. During
the winter season some of our best
feeders make corn one-third to one
half of the ration, using swill with
ground peas and oats for the balance
OF the ration. One feeder that we
know of makes his swill OF milk and
middlings, making thin mixture. Into
a barrel of this is thrown a shovelful

"PACE 6HA6 KILLS."

This is a story of 1.-THE pace that

Young George Pullman, age, accord
ing to the records, 26, born to the pos
session of millions, attended through
all his life by the luxurious surround
ings that were his by right of parent
age and expectation, died recently in
California. The cause of his death
was given in the dispatches as acute
pneumonia.
George Pullman, as every one who
reads the newspapers knows, was one
OF the twin sons of George M. Pull
man, the inventor of the sleeping-car
system that bears that name. He and
his twin brother Sanger were born on
June rs, 1875. The character and
achievement of the father are too well
known to need exploitation here. Pull
man, ST., from humble beginnings
amassed a colossal fortune. The foun-
dations of his fortune were laid before
his sons We're born, and there was new
or a time thereafter that his fortune
did not prosper. He died very sud
denly, as it might be said, without
warning. That is to say, he retired
one night in perfect health, awoke in
distress, and passed away almost be-
fore physicians could be summoned to
lend him assistance and comfort.

A New Alpine Danger.

The wire cables used by tourists for
protection and aid in the Alps may,
according to the latest experiences, be
dangerous. An accident which oc-
Cured on July 20, during an ascent of
the Tribulaun in the Stubuler Alps is
a proof of this. Several tourists on
that day assembled to the summit of
the mountain, which is 3,10O metres
high. Near the top, where the ascent
had to be made with the aid OF wire
cables, the rocks suddenly began 20
hum when an ice pick came in con-
tact with the cable, and sparks were
seen. Shortly before there had been
a thunderstorm which caused all these
electrical phenomena. Suddenly the
lightning struck the cable, stunning
tourist and the guide and hurting
them several hundred metres below.
The other tourists were also struck.

be necessary to avoid collie at tlu,,ss
Much better results will be obtained
by mixing half bran, oats or corn with
the wheat or mixing 1t with chopped
feed. The composition of wheat is
such that for the animal to make the
best use of 1t some food rich in rro-
TEN must be added Cotton seed m cal
can be used in most cases for this pur-
pose. When corn or wheat is rs to
80 cents per bushel this consideration
has not much Importance, but with the
present prices the saving made by bal
ancing up the ratio will be consider
able There will be considerable ques-
ton as to how wheat will pay out this
year when fed to fattening stock, but
there can be no question but that it
will pay to feed it to growing and
breeding stock rather than to sacri-
nee them or let them suffer and de-
teriorate.

The common notion that Germans
are the heaviest beer drinkers is refut-
ed by statistics published by the British
Board of Trade. Last year every Ger
man, on the average, drank twenty
seven gallons, while the average Eng
hshman drank thirty-two gallons. The
consumption in the United States was
less than half as much, per capita, as
In Germany. With the exceptions OF
the Belgians, the British are the lars-
est beer-drinkers in the world, and the
consumption has grown rapidly during
the last fifteen years. A sharp change
toward total abstinence would compel
recasting of budgets, for last year

Britain was derived from the taxation

Mr.. Pullman for $4,000 damages for
alienation of the lady's affections. Mr..
Bowers has since secured decree of
divorce from his wife. The damage
suit probably terminates with the
death of Mr.. Pullman.
Mrs. Pullman formerly Miss Fer
nald) secured divorce from her hus-
band last December, with balm for her
feelings in the way of $1,000 annual
alimony. That balm may or may not
cease with the death of the offender.
Fourteen days after that divorce Mr..
Pullman married Mrs. Brazelle, a

ceremony was performed in the Ar
lington hotel in Carson City, New.
Since that time and up to the day Of

A portion of hatpin, about three
inches long, was found in the intes-
tines of Alfred Phillips, four-year-old
boy OF No. 7SS Wythe avenue, Brook
iyn, who was operated on for Appendix
citis. The pin was badly rusted, and
evidently had been in the boys body
for some time. The child had suffered
from severe pains for several months,
but 1t was not until recently that an
operation was decided upon. 1t is
feared that the boy cannot live, as
the intestines were perforated several
times by the pin.
