Story of the Brief Partnership
of Mrs. Rosenthal and
M. N. HirSch.
SHE RENTED HIM a ROOM.
And After Many Months He Moved
Out Without Paying the Long
Overdue Rent.

Mrs. Samuel Rosenthal began two suits
in the Superior Court Yesterday against
her late partner in the tobacco business,
NJ. n. Hirsch
She sues for the recovery of diamonds
valued at $500 and board and lodging
bill in the sum of $780, and a couple of
thousand more for the lease of the store
room at 624 Market street.
The story of how all this Indebtedness
piled up against Mr.. Hirsch, as told by
Mrs. Rosenthal, is an interesting one. TIE
diamonds, Mrs. Rosenthal says, she loaned
Hirsch, and this led to his forming new
associations. to the breaking up of the
partnership and all the rest of it, greatly
to her monetary loss.
"My store was shut up and l was in all
sorts of complications growing out of the
divorce proceedings with my husband, "
said Mrs. Rosenthal yesterday, "when
Hirsch came to see me and proposed that
I take him into partnership.
Judge Hebbard, in granting the di-
vorce, gave me all the community prop
erty, but required that l pay the bills con-
tracted by my husband. The court also
put bailiff in the store as receiver to
protect the interests of creditors.
"a bout that time l discharged clerk, a
boy named Jacobs, as | wanted to econo-
miZe, and for revenge he went to the GUS
toms authorities and informed them that
the bailiff, Reilly, was selling tobacco not
properly stamped.
Then the United States courts under
took to put bailiff in IN place of that OF
the Superior Court. and the result was that
between the two-Judge Hebbard resisting
my store was closed so far as my busi-
ness was concerned.
II had TO let in the window for half
the store. That attracted this man
Hirsch, or at least he made it his excuse
for coming to see NE. After talking for
some time about renting he asked me If l
would not take him in as a partner. He
said he would give bonds to the court and
so enable US TO resume business and would
pay me So 500 for a half interest. The
! stock had been inventoried at over $11, 900,
| but l was in such straits, as you see,
that the knife was practically at my
throat. 1 could not act on my own ac-
! count, for my friends were doubtful about
the outcome of the tangle between the
! two courts and to get bonds was there
! fore a difficult matter So l decided to
/ accept the offer of Hirsch.
He had been living in Alaska for g
number of years, and looked shabby be-
hind my counter. l offered to lend him
some of my diamonds in order to give him
a more spruce appearance. Besides be
said he wanted to go to the Concordia
Club to see some ladies there. l loaned
him the iewelry, and he has made very
good use of it. He has never returned il
to me. He became engaged to marry
fine young lady. Then he wanted to Sc
cure all of my store. He said he had Dor.
rowed $500 from his brother, Charles
Hirsch, Notwithstanding the agreement
between US that he must not sign notes
without my permission.
"The store was attached. My lawyer
wanted to fight it but 1 said no; 1 would

PUBLIC SCHOOL MONEY
There Will Not Be Any Dock.
ing This Year of Teachers
Salaries.
1t Is the Intention to Expend a Big
Sum for Urgently Needed
Repairs.

The public school teachers Will not be
docked this year in their salaries. 1t is
also the opinion of the directors that there
will be sufficient money received by them
to pay all of the current expenses of the
ensuing year.
What the sum will be cannot be stated
exactly until the figures are received from
the State Superintendent of Public In
struction at Sacramento and the appro-
priation is made by the Board of Super
visors. 1t is known, however, that the con-
templated building of the High School
desired at the Mission will have to be
abandoned, and while it is expected that
there will be sufficient money for repairs
there will not be any for the erection of
new schoolhouses.
The latest statement filed with the
Board of Education by the Finance Com
mittee shows the total expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1896, to be
81, 036, 424 y. Contracts for Improvements
at the Bernal Heights, Cooper, Denman,
Harrison and Colum bia schools, which
are under way but have not yet been paid,
amount TO $4,000. The total receipts
were 1898, ,965 aid the estimated sum
which will be received from the State
school fund is 100000
1t has been recommended by III. D..
Dunno, the expert of the Grand jury, that
ST. 200, 600 be allowed the School Depart
ment, which sum will be com parativelv
satisfactory to the directors. Contracts
will be let at once for the whitening of
sixty schoolhouses, and it is the intention
| to expend in various repairs during the
year the sum of $165, 900. All of the pu b.
lie schools will then be in a good sanitary
condition.

RESURRECTION.

The moonbeams touched the cedars
tall
That stood by Jesus tomb,
All family, as the candles will
That light a spacious room;
While here and there a lonely scar
Looked earthvsfd through the
gloom.
A hush was on the darkened land,
A calm lay on the sea,
A silence fraught with meaning vague
OF miracles to be;
And loosed from midnights failing
grasp
The wandering winds went free.
And when the rockbound sepulchre
In darkness stood alone,
With trace of moon and waning star
Across its outlines thrown,
Nor door was seen, but in it's stead
A rough-hewn, mighty stone.
But when the dawn-burst filled the
skies
And night was changed to day,
A fash Of mystic wings was seen
Within the morning gray,
The angel messenger who came
Ind rolled the stone away.

EASTER.

Out from the jeweled east aglow
Comes now to end the days forlorn'
Past ebbing fields OF ice and snow,
The never failing Easter morn
The sky is filled with portents dear
And carols of the birds are meet,
The blackened fringe OF yester year
BY lily cups and blossoms sweet
Is brushed aside; the north wind fees.
And over hill and dale and glen
The rosy houghs OF bourgeoning trees
In the spring sunshine gleam again
The sparrow pipes his iluted song
TO call the pink anemone,
And the loosed runnel leaps along
With joy to greet the sounding sea
So 20 a world of weary care
The Masters crown OF lilies white
Comes to eliminate despair
And put the promised life in signt
With hints Of chat far Syrian sky
Under whose blue LIES hone w&s
born
Fast as the circling ages fly,
Returns the wondlous Easter morn.
Bring lilied wreaths and garlands
fair
May faith abound and love increase,
And the TRANSPORTED earth declare
Millenial joys and endless peace,
