LADY SARAH WILSON.
Thrilling Experiences of an Eng
fish Woman in BOer War.


MAFEKING, Sunday, Dec "a (by ma
tive runner to MochudD.-Lady Sarah
Wilson is living in bombproof shelter
of her own construction under the pri-
vate residence of Mr. We'll. There she is
enabled to exist with some degree of
comfort, and If she chooses to spend a
part of the time in the house her shelter
is close enough to enable her 10 take
cover between the ring of the warning
bell and the arrival of the projectiie.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press in Mafeking, to whom she granted
an interview, was struck with the fact,
on entering her bombproof refuge, that
she is unquestionably an old campaigner.
Even in this noisome, dark hole, dug un-
Ger the ground, she manages to make
herself comfortable. She has whisky and
soda, as well as cigarettes, too, for Wis
itors.
Lady Sarah's adventures were exciting,
sometimes amusing, and often spiced
with considerable danger. 1t was on a
Thursday she left Mafeking. She arrived
at Setlagoli hotel that night. Before
morning she was aroused by the rattle of
Inu sketry and the boom of guns. It

RODE to the scene of action and photo
graphed the wreck.
Finding that her presence at Setlagoli
exposed her to insults the Beers moved
her to Mousiti. where she enjoyed the
hospitality of a colonial farmer. BY
means of heavy brides she persuaded
natives to carry information to and fro,
and extra ordinary stories regarding her
were circulated among the Beers. One
was that she was the wife of an English
general, and that she was a granddaugh-
ter of the queen, and had come to spy
upon the doings Of the Beers, and q
third that she was the only male sur
vivor of Mafeking, having escaped In the
disguise of a woman.
Lady Sarah visited Vryburg. She was
driven there by young Boer, who pass
ed her off as mis- sister. She found royal
lists who gave her official dispatches and
news. She stayed in the hotel all day,
and stole out by night to do shopping
On visiting the hospital she found that
orders had been issued that no one should
leave town. The gallant Boer had to
answer some curious questions put by
the landrest before he could get permis-
sion for himself and his sister to leave
They set out before day for fear of being
recognized and got away safely.

mixed up in dispatch running she went

sending her to Zeorou as a prisoner Of
war, or to release her if ViEoejen was
given up by the British. At first she re-
fused to ask Col. Baden-Powell to do
this, but finally she changed her mind.
Lady Sarah gathered from her various
experiences amongst the Beers that they
are heartily sick of the war.

The resolutions indorsing the Rev. Mr.
Riley, passed at the Thursday evening
prayer meeting and published yesterday
morning, by no means represent the senti-
ment of very considerable portion of
the church.
L. S. Gillette, one Of the trustees of the
church, said yesterday: Concerning the
resolutions printed this morning I believe
1t should not be necessary for the mem
bers Of the congregation of any church
TO be called upon to indorse or excuse
the words or action OF Its pastor. 1t is
an unfortunate position for the church
10 be placed in, and very largely impairs
Its usefulness and weakens It's position
in the eyes OF the public. The resolu-
tons as passed, in my judgment, DO not
represent the sentiment OF the entire
church
4 Chester Simmons, chairman of the
board of trustees, made the following
fstatement The resolutions passed by
some members of the First Baptist church
last evening do not represent my
views or sentiments, and 1 GER
tainly Go not indorse Mr.. Riley
or support him in the position he seems
to have taken judging from his prayer
made at the meeting a short time ago. l
also know there are great many other
members of the church who feel as 1 do.
On being asked for his views on the
resolutions Waiter B. Brown, another
member o. the board of trustees wrote
the following: THE resolutions passed
the prayer meeting last evening certainly
do not express my sentiments, and 1
am very sorry that Mr.. Riley's friends
thought 1t necessary to bring his most
unfortunate prayer and the First Baptist
church into the public press. If Mr.. Ri
fey's views, as expressed in his recent
prayer, are the views Of the majority of
the church, no resolutions were necessary,
and if the majority do not agree with
him the passage of such a resolution will
not alte" the facts"
Uriah POraback one of the prominent
members of the church, and an ex-trus-
tee, said: The resolutions passed at the
meeting last evening do not express the
sentiment of all CT the members of the
church by long way. Only few mem
bers were present, and these We're not
unanimously in favor of the resolutions"
