Days for Contempt.
San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The members of
the Crime of a Century" Company, in
Guiding Manager w. r. Daily and Richard
I. White, the author. appeared before
Judge Murphy this morning to answer to
charge of contempt. Counsel Cook, for
the defendants, stated that his application
70 the supreme court for
writ of prohibition had not been act
ed upon up to this morning. He renewed
his objection TO Judge Murphy's jurisdic-
ton and presented Mr.. Daily's answer to
the complaint. In this Mr.. Daily admitted
the production of the play, but denied that
u nterfered with Durants trial or that it
was calculated to prejudice the public
mind against the man accused of the
Emanuel church tragedies. Mr.. Daily also
denied his intention TO show any disrespect
10 the court.
The examination of witnesses was then

Benrie Dubois, the young villain who is
lhe center of attraction, and is alleged
70 represent Durant, and William r. Dali
", the respondent, Judge Murphy found

any punishment on these people. So If
they will give me their promise not to
produce this play, "A Crime of a Cen

THESE BIRDS GO HUNTING.

Members of the Feathered Tribes
who Seek Their Prey in Couples.
c. L. Holder in New York Mail and Ex-
press
A party of travellers through Northern
Africa some years ago came to camp on
the borders OF a tract Of land that had
been burnt over quite recently. leaving
the ground covered with a soft layer OF
ashes From this the skeleton branches
of shrubs of various kinds protruded, and
the larger limbs Of mimosas, yet so bare
that game could be seen for long dis
lance. The caravan had lately crossed a
terrible desert where the trail was lined
with the skeletons of camels and various
animals that had fallen by the way and
the glimpse of living animals was 80
welcome that the various creatures that
wandered about the camp were unmo-
Tested.
AS they sat one morning resting they
were astonished to see walking toward
them a flock Of black and white storks,
common in the country, and to be seen
everywhere sitting by the banks OF the
Nile watching for prey. The birds num-
bered twenty or more, and came gravely
on as IL they were a body Of dignihed
ambassadors intent on some mission of
Importance They paid not the slightest
attention to the camp. but walked slow
" by. When opposite 10 them the travel
ers saw that upon the back of each stork
perched a small bird about as large as
a robin. There seemed to be perfect un-
derstanding between the steeds and their
riders.
l have often observed q similar associ-
alton among birds in the south, though In
this instance the smaller bird was evident

ECUADOR's ExILED NUNS.
The Action of the United states Con-
sui Endorsed at Washington.

Washington. Aug. s.-The American
nuns who were compelled 10 leave Ecua-
dor by the revolutionists. and who ar
rived in New York this week. have not
made any complaint to the state depart
ment supplemental to the statement re-
Gently made in their behalf, and that of
the other inmates Of the convent BY ex-
Congressman TimOthp J. Campbell of New
York. The state department, however.
mas lndorsed the action of its consul at
Guayaquil in protesting against the treat
ment OF the nuns and in securing them
from further insult and attack. This was
done IN the absence of direct evidence that
the nuns were Americans, but
the department holds, and has
so informed Mr.. Campbell that even IL the
harassed women are not Americans, the
course taken by our consul at Guayaquil
should be fully Endorsed on the broad
ground OF humanity. No question has
arisen as to the nationality of the nuns
put II IS believed at the department that
there will be no difficulty in showing that
some of them, II not all, are entitled to the
protection of the American government.
AT present the nuns are being protected by
the commandant of the district where
their convent is situated, and II is believed
that no further outrages on them will be
committed.
