Hunt is a professed Christian, and during the course of his lecture he said that the exemplification J. J. BARRETT, Chairman of the St. - Patrick’s Day Celebration. should receive the bestowal this year. The resuit was in favor of the Youths' Directory, and the vote was made unani- mous. When the ballot had been cast Father Crowley, representing the Youths' Direc- tory, made a short speech thanking the convention for the recognition given to his good work and assured his audience that while Instilling the principles of American loyalty and patriotism into the hearts of the boys under would not have them unmind race which had 8o often on occasions like the present rendered aid and assistance to_the Youths' Directory.

"MANNIE" BROKE THE WIDOW'S FOND HEART Clayburg Loved by a Dashing Blonde. CLAIMS HE IS HER FIANCE: HINTS AT A SUIT FOR BREACH | OF PROMISE. His Associates Claim He Has Gone With “Gay” Monroe, Never to Return Here Again. In addition to tenderloin roysterers, for whom he was easy prey, aside from cred- itors and a disappointed family, there is another who deeply mourns the sudden departure of ‘““Mannie”. Clayburg. She is Mrs. Mollie Barrett, a dashing widow of the blonde type, whose wings are clipped by the storms and passions of some thirty-two years. For years past she has been “Mannie” Clayburg's sweet- | heart, and she claims to have been en- | ed to marry the gay young man of | meats. When Clayburg shook the aroma of the tenderloin from his garments and jumped to Sacramento, where he is sald to have been joined by ‘“‘Gay” Monroe, the transient butterfly with whom Man- nie has whiled away many a gay evening during the last two months, his leave- taking left an aching vold in the heart of the ‘pretty Jones-street widow. She has been dancing up and down the gilded paths which Mannie was wont to tread vainly seeking from his former friends some clew of his present whereabouts. And all this time Mannie Clayburg and his friend are supposed to be treading the primrose paths of Sacramento. It is now almost absolutely certain that Clayburg has not had any financial diffi- culties with the wholesale butcher firm of Clayburg Bros. & George, of which he was a junior partner. Moses Clayburg, the young man’s father, made a fran statement concerning Mannie's unex- pected flight. He said that Mannie was no longer a member of the_ firm, but did not owe them a penny. Mr. Clayburg Sr. talked like a man who had nothing to_conceal. The day after Clayburg left the city the firm inserted a notice in one of the dailies stating that the young man was no longer a member, and was not entitled to col- lect any debts or to transact any busi- ness for them. It is not known just what gettlement, if any, was made with ‘“Man- nie”” before he lef. town. - He was reputed to have a heavy interest in the firm, but his escapades on the lanes of gayety may have materially reduced his interests in the firm. At any rate “Mannie’s ” financial stand- ing is a matter of deep concern to-those whose good fortune it was to be consid- ered his friends. Gloom has settled over the horde of waiters at the rotisseries where “Mannie”’ Clayburg and his friends were star boarders. ‘‘Mannie’” lad that generous, but bad habit, of tipping every waliter who danced attendance upon him. They shrug their shoulders and sa “Vera mucha sory.

Before she became en- amored of Clayburg she was the friend of a wealthy Klondiker. Mrs. Mollie Barrett is heartbroken over her lover's latest escapade. She t-ought until a few weeks ago that she had no rival, but now her day dream has been rudely disturbed. Mrs. Barrett was not at home last night. Her little daughter was lady of the house, and she innocently admitted that “Mamma was * heartbroken over ‘Man- nie's’ disappearance.” I did not believe he could be so false.” suid the girl. ““You know Mannie was en- EaEed ey over s “higne: 1| Auto-Trucks Will Soon Be Whirling Up the Steep Grades and over the Level Streets of This City. don’t_see how he could do such a thi He has_been keeping company with mamma. for some years. He used to call here nearly every night and stay ior an hour or two, until .this other woman crossed his path.. Of course, mamma did not like the stories she heard about Man- nie and that awful woman, and they had a little quarrel, but it was nothing seri- ous. ““Mamma would like to know where he has gone. BShe has been trying to find out, but thus far she has been unsuccess- ful. Somebody told her yesterday tha they had seen ‘Mannie’ in .Sacramento, but they could not tell her exactly whers, he was_staying.” Mrs. Barrett has confided to her friends that she intends to make a defermined effort to win Mannie away from her rival. He is her flance, she claims, and she docs not intend to allow him to consort with other women. She has even gone so far s to hint at a breach of promise suit. —_———— Leavitt’s- “Spicer and Fly.” ng.

MORE WOE WORKED BY LAW NOT ONLY NOT PAID, BUT MUST PAY THE CITY. Remarkable Fate That Has Befallen the Pedagogues—Cold Statutes Make the City a Shylock. The saddest blow the unfortunate schoolteachers have received was admin- istered yesterday when Auditor Wells ar- rived at a decision which he handed down orally and which he will proceed to put into effect to-day. The teachers will wake up this morning to face a new legal dragon. ..ccording to Mr. Wells and General Dickinson tne teachers are not only never to get their November and December salaries, but they must go down into their ginghams and pay the city about a month’'s salary aplece that they spent last August after technically “looting” the city treasury of $123,000. Mr. Wells arrived at two decis- fons of importance. He decided during a conference with his attorney, General Dickinson, that he would not audit the January demand$ of the teachers at all except in certain cases, thus making it possible that the teach- ers will lose three months’ salary instead of two. He also decided that he would recog- nize the claim of the Board of Education to the fu],l six-twelfths of the original appropriation, regardless of the debts left by the old board. He thus allows the new Board of Education to start in from January 1 with a clean score and with more money than the old board ever had in sight F@r month during the last six | months of its existence. He thus cleared up the situation as far as he is concerned, but in doing so he further confounded the confusion of school affairs, in all probability, for it is :;:1’1 on behalf of the suffering teachers at ver: ding another suit and new issues | to_the growing tangle of litigation. Judge Seawell in his decision the other day held that the payment of the deficit of the preceding fiscal year out of the| funds of this one was illegal and that the | amount must be taken out of the Novem- | ber and December salaries, but modified | his injunction by allowing January salaries to be paid. These salarles have | been reduced 20 per cent by the board. Auditor Wells, however, finds law for the contention that he has no right to pay January warrants while the holders of them owe the city anything. He finds that as the payment of $123,000 of a salary deficit was illegal those who received ft| owe the city treasury that amount. As the November and December salaries, when taken together with the other claims, are not sufficient to meet this in- debtedness, he must hold out whatever | is still due the city from the first claims presented. *“I am going to deduct from the funds available for January the salaries and all other bills paid illegally according to Judge Seawell's decision,” sald Mr. Wells yesterday, “and I now roughly estimate that the balance due will just about equal the salary account as reduced 20 per cent.” Several progesitions led llr to this de- cision. One is that according to Judre | Seawell's obiter dictum salaries of teach- ers and others are not preferred claims, so that the claims of teachers, merchants { et al. will all be lumped on one side of the | account_and will share all fortunes pro rata. These claims amount to about 1 $190,000 for November and December sala- | ries and about $88,000 for other claims.

Un- | der the one-twelfth act, which Judge Sea- well rules applies to the Board of Educa- tion, there is a balance of but about $35,- 000 with which to pay all these claims, amounting to aboru! h 17§.m.£:g:to?etlgg :};e of six-twel > ap- unpaid balance (S T ropriation. Judge Seawell Eha? the $123,000 illegally paid shall be charged against the November and De- er salary account, thus holding that f!elren{)earhers who received it owe it to the city treasury. But in balancing accounts after lumping November and December salaries and all other accounts Mr. Wells finds that the teachers still owe money to the city. : He then goes beyond Judge Seawell's decision and finds a clause in the consoli- dation act forbidding payment of claims to any one who is in debt to the city. As the teachers owe $123,000 to the treasury, and as they still owe a balance after their November and December salaries are de- Qucted, the balance must come out of the January salaries. Then they can start in With a clean account and dream of what they would do if they ever by any chance get nearly three months’ salary in a lump. Not all the teachers are in debt to the city on account of that $123,000 that must be paid back. It is owed only by those who received that amount last August. “With those who participated in re- ceiving. that amount,” said Mr. Wells, “the balance due is generally more than is coming to them in January with the 20 per cent reduction., Hence the January galaries may not be enough to cover the deflcit. Without the reduction the accounts would about balance. “But those who came into the depart- ment since July 1 did not partlclgate in that illegal payment, and hence they owe nothing to the city. They and any who for any reason did not get part of that jllegal sum will have their warrants audited and get their momey. In order to find out how the accounts stand, I will to-morrow put a force at work to see to whom all these illegal payments were made, and will ask the Board of Education to assist me. The probable course will be to take each warrant in my office for a January salary and one by one examine the account back through the fiscal year. It will be a big job, and may take three or four days. There are from 1200 to 1500 accounts, including all employes.” “It's a great hardship on the teachers,” said Mr. Wells yesterday, “and I will do all to facilitate the work so that things may be straightened out.” If in a few days it is found that a bal- ance of six bits or twenty dollars is due a teacher he or she may go and draw it, but Mr. Wells thinks that there won't g ARy ez, 7 fm T <R u/\[mwfl “ S ~ Z = > S oon see ‘‘carriages without horses go,” ipton predicted long ago.

Loaded nt grades with perfect ease, and the dray- lr'en sts in his be six bits left for any of the teachers who received that $123,000. “My present view,” continued he, “is that if Fl was illegally paid it is owing to the city, and I may pay nothing to a debtor to the city,” said Mr. Wells. “If a teacher should come and admit the debt I would credit it on the warrant and pay the balance, if any. It was of course the intention to pag the deficit of last year out of the funds of this, but the court says it cannot be done. There is now avallable six-twelfths of the entire appro- priation. The six-twelfths available for the first six months was not quite all audited, but the unaudited claims are far in excess of the $123,000. There will be a | deficit with this paid back. When this | amount is returned the merchants and teachers will get a pro rata allowance and the new teachers who owe no part of the $123,000 will be benefited. It is my view that the November and December salary la m%dure absolutely void and can never ala.” The demand of Director Holbrook of the Finance Committee for six-twelfths of the whole appropriation was considered and approved. ere is . another . odd thing. The original appropriation of $1,217,000 included $100,000 for the salary deficit, leaving the board $1,117,000 for the year; The old boaid started in on this cash basis. Now the old board, which went in_ with little money In sight and with the pinching of poverty, finds itself suddenly with one-half of the ‘whole original appropriation, or more than the old board was supposed to have to | work with. This will probably work a | sudden change in the plans of the board, and the ax of economy may rest a little. “If the teachers have drawn $123,000 il- legally, that deoes not affect the January salaries,” it is said. ‘‘The Auditor is con- sidering only what fthe teachers owe the city and not what the city owes the teachers. This is trying to collect from the teachers what they owe the city with- out paying them what the city owes them. He follows Judge Seawell's decision as far as he wants to and then follows him- | self. There will, of course, be a suit to compel him to pay January salaries if he promised course, We'll see its good law or not. OPIUM OLDBER BOWEN & GO.
