NUNS HAD TO FLY
Story of Indignities Offered to Catholic nis-
sionaries in Ecuador

Story of Indgnities Offered to Catholic Ills
sionaries in Ecuador
NEW YORK, July l2.-Sisters of Mercy
Genevieve, Josephine and Frances and
Father A. NJ. Feeser a missionary, have
just arrived here on the steamer Alliance
from Colon. The sisters left Elijah beth,
N. j., eight years ago to 60 to Ecuador
and found missionary schools there under
Bishop Schumacher. In the recent revo-
luton in Ecuador the bishop, his priests
and nuns suffered great indignities. Sis
ters Gensvieve, Josephine and Frances
and Sister Gertrude, native OF Ecuador,
barely escaped with their lives, and they
fear the bishop has peen assassinated.
Sister Genevieve was the superior of the
mission at Calceta. Bishop Schumacher,
with six priests, was on his way to Quito,
and stopped at the convent June Goth.
The revolutionists, who bitterly bated
the bishop, invaded the town, surround
ed the convent and demanded admission,
which was refused. The next day sec
ond demand was made or the bishops
surrender, with threats to burn the CON
vent. Bishop Schumacher gave himself
up.
That afternoon detachment of gov
ernment soldiers entered Calceta, and gave
battle TO the rebels. The troops rushed
back to the convent and began to batter
in the doors. Sister Genevieve opened 9
window and displaying an American flag,
called on the insurgents to desist.
s.ss"I warn you," cried the plucky nun,
THAT we are Americans under the pro.
lection of the American flag, and you
will disgrace your country in the eyes OF
the civilized world by this violence
against defenseless and unoffending
women"
Down with the fagv' yelled the
crowd, and redoubling their efforts they
broke down the doors and swarmed up
the stairs. The priests were knocked
down and cruelty beaten with the butts
of muskets, and one, Father Angel, was
stabbed IN the back and sank to the floor.
The unfortunate sisters were exposed to
a shower of bullets, and how they es-
capped being shot was nothing short of
miraculous. The routed insurgents set
fire to the town in their retreat, and the
nuns were obliged, with their host, to
abandon the house and flee to the coun-
try for safety.

DR.. HEARNE'S MISCONDUCT
He Was Intimate With Mrs. Amos ],
StilIwell
And Desperate Enough to Kill the Man He
Wronged If Caught by Him 10
the House

HANNIBAL, Mo-, July 1.-THE taxing
OF dispositions in the DR.. Hearne libel suit
against the San Francisco Chronicle, in
volving incidents connected with the
murder Of Amos j. Stillwell in 1888, were
resumed today. r. II. Stillwell, son of
the murdered man and stepson OF the
w,felof DR.. Hearne. who gave his dir ect
testimony yesterday, was cross-examined
today. In reply to a question as to
whether Mrs. Stillwell. who afterward
married Hearne, needed a physician
when she went to Battle Creek soon after
the murder. or whether there was any,
thing remarkable in taking the doctor, he
said:
"She needed one. and there was moth
ing remarkable about her taxing DR..
Hearne."
Mr.. Stillwell said lie would like to ex-
plain why he had deviated from a strict
answer to the question. He said: II
have been accused of trying to suppress
the investigation of this case for period
of five or six years. I:hrmlys believed in
the innocence of DR.. Hearne and said so
boldly, kbut circumstances brought to my
mind have caused me to change my mind
I don't say that he is guilty of this
crime.''
The witness hesitated somewhat when
asked If he believes in the innocence of
Mrs. Stillwell, but finally said:
II cannot say; I do not know"
Mr.. Stillwell explained about the s1o,-
900 reward which he offered and of the
manner in which he received information
about his stepmothers intimacy with DR.
Hearne.
Continuing, he said: IT have learned
that on one occasion while my father was
in st. Louis DR.. Hearne was in my faith
er's house at night, and when he returned
home suddenly and unexpectedly DR..
Hearne was naked in the house. He had
no time TO put his clothes on before my
father entered. My 1ather passed HIM in
the hallway upstairs without my fathers
knowledge, and after my father went into
his room and locked his door, DR.. Hearne
dressed, slipped out OF the house and
went home. I have also learned that he
was cautioned because OF his actions
touching this matter. and replied that
had he met my father in the hall that
night he would have shot him dead on
the spot. He also remarked that he had
q revolver with him."

means of saving them from starvation
and affording them food, raiment. shell
ter and transportation, and that we be-
lieve congress should extend to Alaska
aid in settling the questions OF productive
industry by experiment stations as il now
aids IN the other territories and in the
several states by its appropriations for
agricultural stations.
Resolved. That intelligent pedagogy
demands that we should recognize as fully
as possible the nature of the children for
whom the schools exist. Every method
which can prove itself profitable to this
end should be encouraged. A science
touching the physical or mental develop
ment of children hould be drawn upon
for whatever help they can afford. Teach
ers everywhere should have wise discretion
in the common sense observation of the
children under their charge. There
should be throughout our school system
renewed and profound consideration of
all things touching the physical and
mental health of children, and training
in school hygiene should constitute part
OF the professional education of teachers.
Resolved, That we hail with Joy the
advent of the kindergarten and we urge
the legislator es Of the several states to
make such provision IN their school laws
as will render it possible to make the
kindergarten an integral part OF the pub
lie school system of the United States.
Resolved, That since we believe the in
telligent teaching of children can be Sc
cured only by the intellgen5 training of
teachers, we heartily commend the efforts
made in all parts of the country, through
means of round tables teachers institutes
and summer schools, to increase the
efficiency Of the force already in the field,
but at best training acquired by these
means in the nature of things must be
inadequate; hence, we urge upon the
legislatures of the several stats that they
make provision for establishment of
thoroughly equipped normal schools in
sufficient numbers to make it possible
that. all the teachers of the public schools
may receive such training as the trans
cendent interests committed to their
care impe1atively demand. so that the
near future none but we'll trained teachers
shall be permitted to enter upon the work
OF instructing children.
In this connection we congratulate our
friend and co-worker, Superintendent W.
II. Maxwell of Brooklyn. upon the enact

by Harry Warren, of one of the
most peculiar and questionable or
ganizations that exists in Southern
California. The article will be a
continued one, and will be pro-
fusely illustrated by the pencil of a
staff artist.
This story possesses peculiar in
terest for the people of this section

city of Los Angeles. The views of
the immediate neighbors will be

ism can be explained on Mrs. Symington
by saying that his Munchausen tales
have turned her head. He claims to be
a Russian count, and spreads himself all
over everybody he meets. especially
women. Whether there is anything in
his claims I do not know.
The facts are, Hubert induced Mrs.
Symington to procure divorce from
Symington and then marry him. He
then, a short time ago, removed to Hol-
comb valley, taking Symington along, an
abject servant, and they are out there
now, living with him as their waiter and
as he is constantly weak and i'll they
draw $50 month from the sick fund OF
Esconuido lodge, Knights of Pythias,of
which Symington is a member. Hubert
sends certificates of such Sickness, but
he is not known to have diploma or any
credentials, so l presume you can call it
fraud or obtaining money by false pre-
stense, or what.
Mr.. Mattison, who lives adjoining
them, told me that when Hubert was
away Symington was strong, well and
rebellious at his condi ion, but whenever
Hubert returned his influence would re-
duce him to terms.
They are prospecting a mine there
and seem to do com fortably. AT any
rate / am told the officers are inYestigat-
ing the matter"
What nattison Says
]. A. Mattison was seen at his resi-
dence on South Hope street at a late hour
last evening. In answer to ring at the
bell, head was cautiously protruded
from an upper window and inquired,
what was wanted at this time of
nlght?"
After being assured that no bodyily
harm was intended to himself, Mr.. Matti-
son appeared at the front door and in an
swer to a query regarding the Syming-
tons, said: 81 don't want to mix myself
up in the affair at all and il there is to be
trouble l propose to keep decidedly out of
it. Mr.. Symington was my friend some
years ago in purely business manner
and I have had no intimate relations
with him whatever. DR.. Hubert I know
as a smart man and I would imagine him
capable of all that Is said about him in
his relations with the Symingtons.
don't know anything IN particular of
either OF them and must request that you
will not publish my name in connection
with the matter"
Mr.. Mattison then closed the door.
