PULLMAN PUTS UP WAGES.
About 1000 Of His Employees Get
an Advance of 10
Per Cent.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 6.-The Pullman Pal
ace Car company has advanced the wages
of tie employees at the Pullman shops 10
per cent. the advance affecting about
1000 people. No formal announcement
has been made by the company of its
action as the advance has been gradual,
taking effect in various departments at
different times during the last two weeks.
Vice-President Wickes, in discussing
the matter today. said that the company
had assured it's men last year, when the
great strike was ordered, that wages
would go up as soon as business condi-
tons would permit and that the present
increase in salaries was simply the full.
tillment of the promise made them. The
advance, coming as it does just year
since the railroads of the country We're
tied up in the effort to compel such an
increase, is regarded by labor leaders as
strange, but the officials of the company
deny that any significance attaches to the
advance

charged with burning and illtreating
Mrs. Cleary until death relieved her
from further suffering. The evidence
showed that she was suffering from
nervousness and bronchitis and her hus-
band, believing her to be bewitched,
forced a nauseous decoction down her
throat for the purpose of exercising the
evil spirit. After this the unfortunate
fully burned until she declared in the
name of God that she was not Cleary' $
wife. This torture was repeated, and
her husband knocked her down, stripped
off her clothing, poured paraffine over
her body and lighted it. The woman
burned to death in the presence of her
relatives. Cleary claimed that he was
not burning his wife but a witch The
prisoners narrowly escaped lynching at
the hands of the crowd in and about the
courtroom at Clonmel when they were

CORNELL IN A BAD WAY.
Several Of the Racing Crew Indis-
posed-Coach Courtney is
Discouraged.

London, July 6.-The representative
of the Associated press had an interview
at Henley today with Charles E. Court
ney, the coach of the Cornell crew. He
said: I'VE may as we'll tell you the
truth. Five Of the men are sick and /
am discouraged. During the past few
days all our prospects have seemed to
vanish. The boys are troubled with
pains in their limbs and drowsiness and
to nourish them. Hager, who pulls No.
3, and Fennell, who pulls No. 5, are the
worst sufferers. The worst of it is that
Fernell, who has been the life of the
crew, keeping them jolly and light-heart-
ed, is now sick and glum. l am sick
myself, but l say nothing in order not
to discourage the boys. Our time over
the course has fallen off II seconds and
it is too late to use substitutes if we
hope to win.
Il attribute the trouble to the sudden
change of weather and, if / must admit
it. | have had a touch of malaria. No
body ever worked harder than myself
to insure success, but fate seems against
us.
Even Fred Cotton, the coxswain, as
bright a man as ever steered boat, is
suffering from depression. / have talked
with several experts in boat-racing re-
garding our condition and they all say
Henley is not good place to train, and
/ am beginning to agree with them.'
The Sornell crew started practice at
10 o'clock this morning. They looked
discouraged and were not nearly in as
good form as they were ten days ago.
But in spite of this the men made an
excellent showing pulling over the course
in Z minutes 4 Is seconds. After their
spin Courtney said to the correspondent
of the Associated Press: "We did well
enough this morning, but three of the
men were completely done up at the end
of the first half mile and the other five
pulled the boat. l ask nothing more
than the boys were all right, as they
were ten days ago. Then | would be
able to say to our friends in America
that we are sunre winners
The impression prevails among the ex-
pert oarsmen at Henley that the Cornell
crew have beeen overtrained.
