APPROPRIATE PSALMS.
The Jews Of Paris and the Russians.

The Jews Of Paris and the Russians.
when in Rome, do Is the Romans do"
seems to the casual observer to be the adage
adopted by the Jews of Paris, and carried ont
by their joining in the senseles and humiliat-
ing homage to the visiting Russians. Follow
ing the example set in churches, special
prayers were included in the service of the Paris
synagogue to celebrate the presence of the Rus
sien squadron in France consisted Of the chant
ing of Psalm xxi. and lxxxvi., and the singing
of Hallelujah.
This is apparently carrying patriotism just
one step too far; loyalty to country should not
not be at the expense of honor. To forgive an
enemy is noble, to praise his virtues, divine;
but, inservile submission to etiquette to fawn
and cringe before cruel and relentless enemy,
and to chant the praises Of those who know
neither mercy, Justice or pity, would DO rank
Hypocrisy.
There appears, however, to be little cause TO
call ia question the sound common sense or
religious fervor and sympathies of our French
co-religionists, although they did hold special
services to commemorate the advent of the
Russian visitors. The Psalms chosen were
worthy the occasion and far from being songs
of gladnes, were prayers for helpand guidance.
In such observance the entire religious world
could join and sing.
In the day Of my trouble will call upon
Thee: for thou wilt answer me.
20 God, the proud are risen against me, and
the assemblies of the violent men have sought
after my soul; and have not set Thee before
them.
''Shew me token for good; that they which
hate me may see it and be ashamed: because
Thou, Lord, has helpen me, and comforted me-"
The French Jews are undoubtedly endowed
with tie French wit, and know how to chide
an enemy while praising him, Obscrv-

planned that she and Hansen, who were
never married. had quarreled about three
years after the girl was born and had
separated.
For two years and half after she was
deserted, by her lover. she supported the
cnlid with her own means. When she
wouid go out in the early morning to do a
aay washing she would leave her baby
to the care of one Of ber neighbors, for
Wnlch she usually paid 25 cents. During
these years she held no communication
with Hansen. but was aware of his pres
ence in the city, where he had taken up
with Spanish woman. One evening in
January, 1878. on returning from her days
laDorS she called at her neighbor's house for
her child. The little tot, whose handsome
lace had often attracted attention, could
not be found; she had been stolen. The
mother grieved for her lost child in her
own peculiar way for almost a year, when
by accident she discovered her as an inmate
OF the Relief Society Home. Seeing her with
good home. and thus being relieved of her
support, the mother concluded not to
claim the child or reveal her identity until
such time as she would be able to earn
livelihood for herself. Almost every
Sunday during the three years stay of the
child in the home would the mother
walk up to the home and stand on the op-
poslte side OF the street to watch her off
spring pass out through the big iron gates
on her way to church. After time the
mother missed her child on Sunday morn
iDgs. The other children would go TO
church, but no Laura Hansen was in their
midst. Fearing something was wrong she
went to the home and presented herself
as the mother of tine girl and asked to see
her. She was told that the records of
the institution showed that the girl had

This only made the lawyer suspicious,

The case is interesting for mere thar

under the amendment of sectio n 5SS of tbt
Penal Code, which was approved Marc,
9, 1893. making ii felony 10 give a second

hrst giving notice to the original mortgagee

$500 on October IL, and that subsequently,
and with intent u defraud him executed
second mortgage upon the same properly
to John Spauldng for $3.50. without gi wins
lhe statutory notice and with felonious
tutent.
Mrs. Daisley, who is IN the matron's
quarters at the City Prison, gives an en-.
tirely differont version of the affair. She
says that she and her husba nd took pos
session OF the house about five months sgo.
having leased IL from Ulfeider at SI25 a
month. They put about $1,000 worth of
furniture in the house. and Spaulding was
employed TO put in certain fixings and do
other work, for which there Is due him
about $50. She denies emphaticaIly that
either she or her husband gave Spaulding
second mortgage on the property and
he say shas never troubled them about his
account.
She paid her rent every month regul arIy
and gave Ulfeider the mortgage on her
property simply as security in the event
u not being able to meet her obligations.
A woman who lives at 1887 Geary street
mas been anxious TO get the house she
occupies and offered the landlord $3.50
month, or S25 more than Mrs. Daisley
Is paying, and she declares her arrest is
simply for the purpose of freeing" them
out of the house So that the Geary-street
woman might get possession.
A few DAYS after the Daisleys paid their
rent last month they were astonished to
receive notice that the mortgage would
be foreclosed and that their rent would in
inture be $500 month. Since then she
mad been sick In bed from excitement and
worry.
When this months rent was due her
husband took the amount and the $500 to
pay off the mortgage to Ulfelder, but he
refused to accept either, claiming that the
monthly rent was $500. according to the
notice served upon them last month.
Mrs. Paisley says her husband has been
employed as a sawfiler for the past seven
teen years by Simpson Brothers, Powell
street, and gave the names of several
prominent citizens to whom they were well
known. She says there will be some inter-
esting developments in court when the
case comes up for preliminary hearing.
