Condition of the Crops

Wheat and rye have sLoYTA
marked Improvement in all parts
of the State since last report, the
showers having induced a vigor-
GUS growth. Wheat now stands
from s to 10 inches high in the
principal wheat growing districts,
aud is in a generally satisfactory
state, except that the injury done
during the winter in the low lying
fields now appears more pronounc-
ed by comparison with the thickly
est upland crop. Glover fields
present similar contrasts, being
well rooted and thriving on high
and rolling lands, but thin and
"'bunchy" where water-soaked

pastures have made rapid growth
during the week. Farmers have
been sowing oats, as the weather
allowed, in the western counties,
and, under favorable circum-
stances, this work will be finished
there next week. Some oats are

ties, and in the southeran counties

progress has been made in plOw

BISHOP PARET WEBS.
The Affair a Great Surprise to
All-Groom 70, and Bride
48 Years Old.

BALTIMORE, Nd, April 21.-
With as little ostentation as pos
sible, a lack of display that Dor
dered on secrecy, Right Rev.
William Paret, Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
Maryland, was married today
to Mrs. Sarah Hayden Haskell.
The 70 year old groom claimed
his S.year-old bride from the
hand Of her brother, William II.
Hayden, of Newark, New Jersey,
Bishoy Satterlee, of Washington,
reading the marriage service.
Rev. DR.. j. Herbton EcclestOn.
of Emmanuel Church, was Bishop
Paret's attendant at the cere
mony, but the bride was unat,
tended, and st. Peters Church
was undecorated lest the public
should get a hint of the wedding,
which came as great surprise to
Bishop Paret's flock.
The fact that the wedding
would take place before many
days was known to the two fami'
lies concerned, the Bishop having
been quite attentive to Mrs. Has
kell during the three years she
has lived in Baltimore. He knew
her before that, meeting her soon
after her husband, Henry Tuder
Haskell of Chicago, Illinois,
died seven years ago.
There was a wedding breakfast
at the Haskell home and then the
Bishop took his bride to Lake
wood, New Jersey.

HEROISM AND VALOR OF
THE BOERS.
English War Correspondent
Writes Of the Burghers: IL
Have Seen Them DE- and
Tells How Heroes Pass
Away.

A. c. Hales, the London Daily
Ne'cS correspondent, writes the
following account of Boer hero
ism:
81 was only prisoner in their
hands for about a month, yet
every moment of that time was
so fraught with interest that |
fancy that l picked up more of
the real nature of the Beers than
| should have done under ordi-
nary circumstances in couple of
years.
81 saw some of those old gray
boards, shattered by our shells,
dying grimly, with knitted brOws
and ferceiy clinched jaws; saw
some of their beardlesS boys sob
bling their souls out as the life
blood dyed the African heath.
"Those things | have seen, and
in the ears of the English men
and women, let me say as one
who knows and fain would speak
the plain, ungilded truth con-
corning friend and foe, that not
alone beneath British flags are
heroes found. Not alone at the
breasts of British matrOns are
brave men sucked; for as my
soul liveth, whether their cause
be just or unjust, whether the
right or the wrong OF this war be
with them, whether the blood of
the hundreds that have fallen
since the first rifle spoke defiance
shall speak for or against them
at the Day of Judgment, they at
least know how to die; and when
a man has given his life for the
cause he believes in, he is proven
worthy even of his worst enemy's
respect.
"And it seems to me that the
British nation, with its long roll
of heroic deeds, wrought the
world over from Africa to Ice
land, can well afford to honor the
splendid bravery and self sacri-
fee of these rude, untutOred
toilers of the soil.
II have seen them die.
"One sight that l saw will stay
with me while memory lasts.
They had placed me under wag-
on, beneath a mass of overhang-
ing rocks, for safety, and there
they brought two wounded men.
One was man of fifty, hardy
old veteran, with a complexion as
dark as a New Zealand Maori.
The beard that framed his rug
ged face was three fourths gray,
his hands were as rough and
knOtted by open air toll as the
hoofs of working steer. He
looked what he waS-a Boer Of
mixed Dutch and French lineage.
"The younger man was his son,
tall fair fellow, scarcely more
than a STRIPPING, and | had no
need to be a prophet to tell that
his very hours were numbered.
Both had been wounded by one
of our shells, and it was pitiful
to watch them as they lay side by
side, the elder holding the hand
of the younger in loving clasp,
while with his other hand he
stroked his boyish face with gest-
ures that were infinitely pathetic.
"JuSt as the stars were coming
out that night between the clouds
that floated over us the Boer boy
sobbed his young life out; and all
through the long watches of that
mournful darkness the father lay
with his dear laddie's hand in
his"
