MISSING SCHOONERs.
Absence of Tiding is Causing Anxiety
for Their Safety.

Providence. r.. T., Nov. 29.-The
absence of tidings from the schooners
Quinnebaug and Charles E. Wilbur
which sailed from Savannah and Da-
rien, Ca, early in the month, for New
York, is causing considerable anxiety
concerning their safety in this city,
as a large portion of the stock in both
is owned locally and the Wilbur's crew
was shipped here. The Quinnebaug
sailed north on November 21st and
the Wilbur a day later. Neither has
been reported since leaving port. Both
vessels are new, the Wilbur having
been launched at Mystic, Conn, last
September, and the Quinnebaug year
before.

Miners Cabin Suggested Sleeping Car
Denver Times.

Nnct NdO1n SuSSeSteO S1ecplNS Ndr
Denver Times.
A miners cabin at Central City
gave George NJ, Pullman the idea for
the construction OF the Pullman pal
ace sleeping cars, says James Kelley,
city passenger agent for the Moffat
road. In the early days of the state.
when Pullman was poor young man.
he came to Colorado to try his for
tune. For several months he was
located at Central City and Black
Hawk and shared the hard lot of the
early-day miners. Ex-Gov. John L.
Routt says that he remembers Pull
man being here.
The arrangement OF the miners
hunks remained in the memory of
Pullman as many night he tossed
and tumbled in six foot bedding In
the poorer cabins a six foot space is
boarded in for a bed and two husky
miners are put in side by side In an
ordinary miners rooning house there
are from six to eight bunks in room
both sides of the apartment are util-
;zed. The beds are rudely construct
ed affairs. and few pine boards with
2N4 scantlings are all that are re-
G11ired One h11nk is D1aced above
another on the same plan as the Pull
man cars are constructed.
After LEAVING Denver, and while
riding in a hard-seated chair one
night in the east, the thought came to
Pullman that beds should be provided
for the patrons of the road. He i'm
mediately remembered the miners
cabins in Colorado and his inventive
brain soon had the details completed.
