SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES.
How the Boer Women Put in Thei
Time During the War.

Boer wives, mothers, sisters and daugh-
ters. whose male relatives are fighting
now, are passing through an unneces-
sarily anxious time. The war authorities
at Pretoria apparently hold strictly self
ish views upon the subject Of casualty
lists. deeming it impolitic to let those
who are bereaved Know that their men
folk are dead. Owing to the influence
the knowledge might have on the others
who are going to the front, the BOer war
office keeps its secrets inyiolate and does
not issue news of losses on the field.
The elder generation of Boer women
will probably be bearing the suspense in
tight-lipped, listless silence, but the girls
who have received the benefits Of educa-
ton will understand how cruel their posi-
tion is. and fret IL impotent wrath be-
meath the injustice inflicted upon them
by this reticencc.
What kind of lives are these women
lending now? In all likelihood pretty
much what they led in ordinary times
Their farms are squat. two or three
l0omed buildings, dumped down on the
veldt far away from neighbors, in the
center Of the acreage of land farmed By
TIE proprietor. They are wretcheftly uIl-
comfortable habitations; for boer women
are not house-proud. Formerly 80 Boer
woman received more than an apology
for an education. and Il very lame one at
that Now, however some Of the young
ste1s are sent to the convent schools and
are modelled into very much improved

Parish is Threatened.

Kenosha, Wis, Feb. S.-[Special l.
Rev. Henry Thompson has won a COM
plete victory in his fight against J. Keck
Wheeler, to collect fee for performing
Il wedding ceremony, for last evening
Mr.. Wheeler sent the rector a check for
the entire amount which he alleged was
due him in the case. The settlement Of
the case was only made after Mr..

collect the money due from Mr.. Wheeler.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Thompson pre-
sented to Mr.. Wheeler a bill covering all
the expenses Of the wedding. The bill
reads as follows:
Josiah Keck Wheeler, Dr., in account
with Harry Thompson, Rector of ST. Math-
ew's Church:
TO performing one wedding ceremony. $500
To janitors salary for two nights. Loo
$500

Mr.. Wheeler he forwarded a check for
the amount to the rector With the
check he sent very gcntlemanly letter
thanking the minister for the favor he
had conferred in waiting for the money
for so long n time.

in a victory for the rector it has been a
bad thing for ST. Mathews parish and
it is feared that the trouble will lead to
an open rupture in the church. A YES
trvlnan this evening stated that the ac-
ton of the minister was displeasing. He
said the vestry had not taken any ac-
