YELLOW SISTERS.
Mrs. Ah Sun Flies From
San Diego.
Generous Ladies of the San Francisco
Mission Pursue their Quiet,
Earnest Work.

All Sun is rich vegetable merchant
living in San Diego. who is now in his
city looking for his wife and baby, whom,
he says. were stolen from him by Miss
j. A. Johnson, Chinese mission teacher
laboring in the southern par; of the State.
Besides losing his family. All charges
that his bank account is short about $500
through the escapade. and. while he would
like to get possession of his truant spouse
and their babe. he is more anxious about
the worldly goods.
From all accounts. All had model
Chinese home. so far as appointments
went, and up to three years ago lived a
happy and contenied life. Daily he went
out into the streets to sell his wares. and
at night would return home to his wife.
About three years ago Miss johnson, in
her missionary work. met Mrs. Sun. She
taught her the tenets of the Christian
faith and soon the young wife began to
embrace them. Not so with the husband.
He did not like the Christian faith and
as determined hat his young wife should
not Gevi te from the religion of her birth.
Here AVS troubles began. His wife
was obstinate and refused to give up he
teachings of Miss Johnson. So to bend
her to his will he changed his disposition.
The kind. loving husband he had shown
himself to be to this time was trans formed
into a tyrannical master who believed in
asserting his authority by beating his
wife.
Weak and submissive, the poor woman
bore his cruel treatment for three years,
daily growing stronger In her adopted
faith.
Miss johnson continued her calls de-
spite,the threats of the husband to do her
bodily harm.
About two weeks ago Sun returned
to his home one evening after a hard days
work and found his wife studying out the
truths of Christianity. He became en-
ragged at her d, Fl nee of his orders to give
up her faith amd threatened If she per-
sisted in adopting the religion OF Mss
Johnson he would kill her.
Manv times before she heard fhis threat
and received his beatings, so she sTplY re-
piled that he had better talk to Miss john
son before ill-treating her again, as she
was going to protect her.
When Miss johnson next called Mrs
Sun begged OF her TO take her from the
home of her cruel husband to this CRY
where she could enter the Mission and be
permitted to pursue her search without
mnle>tation.
Fearing that if her husband knew of her
resolve be would do her bodily harm, she
determined to leave without saying any
thing to him.
On Monday night, accom- panied by her
friend and teacher, Miss johnson, she
boarded the train and came TO this city
and was at once taken to the Presbyterian
Mission on Sacramento street.
The story of All Sun, that when they
lett San Diego they took some of his money
with them, is emphatically denied by boz h
Miss johnson and Mrs. Sun, and, to show
that the woman was without means, Miss
johnson paid her railroad fare out of her
own pocket.
The charge is characterized by Miss Gull
bertson of he mission as a ruse to get pos
session of the wife and baby by criminal
prosecution, and is one almost universally
adopted by Chinese under similar circum-
stances.
Information of another charge of tbs
same kind was received by Miss Culbert-
son In telegram from Fresno Saturday
night.
A few days since application was m ade
by Sing Yen, Chinese woman in Fresno,
Tor admission TO the mission. She said
she was being held In slavery in Chinese
den in that place.
Mrs. Green was sent TO investigate the
case. and finding it to be true started for
