MORDECAI _MANTEL> NOAH: A Blographicat Sketch. By Simon ‘Wolf, With Portrait. Phil- ‘Mr. Wolf, whose, ary. works in coni- memoration of his cereligionists have been valuable not onty frém'tiefr point of view, but as additions t§ ‘géneral literature, could have found no Jorg appropriate sub- ject than Major Noab, one of the greatest editors this countryihas tver knewn. The author considers the ent time especial- ly opportune to em; ize the good work done by American of Jewish faith, when there seems tocbe @ tendency to at- tack the rights of individual judgment and belief in such mat 7,8 religion. He therefore seeks to ww by an accont of the services of an American citizen to whom the Constitution of the United States was a shibboleth “what he wroucht and ho he fought for the elevation of all men,” whether Jews or Christians. fee Noah was born in Philadelphia July 19, 1755, and died in New York March 22, 1851. Mr." Wolf's sketch is only an out- line, confessedly incomplete in details, but Presenting all the elemenws of a biography sufficient to show the patriotism, heroism and philanthropy of the subject. Young Noah’s mother died when ho was but ten years old, and “his father disappeared at the same time, his melancholy over the death of his wife causing him to leave his for- mer home. His son afterward discovered him in Paris by a curious coincidence. The boy was sent to Philadelphia to live with his grandfather, ‘Robert Phillips, a Prominent patriot of the revolutionary pe- riod. Thenceforward the sketch follows the career of the young man and carries him forward to his appointment by President Madison to be consul at Tunis, with a Special mission to Algiers. r Noah’s mission to Algiers was Particularly difficult, as it related to the ransoming of American prisoners, then held in slavery by the Algerian govern- ment. He accomplished his mission, but incurred the criticism of some in this coun- try, who accused him of ransoming more enslaved Americans than his letter of in- structions warranted. He was finally re- called, the Secretary of State giving as the reason for this action the religion that he followed. Major Noah was engaged in many difficult diplomatic enterprises dur- ing this period, and made the flag of the United States respected by the Algerian pirates and their government. He returned to thia country tn 1819 and took up his residence in New York city. He published an interesting volume of his travels, said to be the first book of travels by an American citizen. He then founded the National Advocate, which was suc- ceeded by the New York Enquirer, sub- sequently merged with the Courier. In 1834 he established the Evening Star in New York, and eight years later establishec a daily paper called the Union, which was discontinued as a daily after the expiration of Taylor's administration, becoming a weekly periodical, known es Noah's Sun- day Times and Messenger, which Major Noah edited up to the time of his death. It had a large circulation, and was con- qiseres’ the most influential weekly of its time. In 1822 Major Noah was elected high sheriff of New York city and county. The law at that time permitted imprisonment for debt. The yellow fever broke out in the debtors’ jail, and, in order to spare the prisoners from unspeakable horrors, the high sheriff threw open the doors and permitted all within to go free. Major Noah was made responsible for the debts of the prisoners, paying over $200,000 on this account, and completely impoverish- ing himself. No restitution was ever made by the state. z In 1820 Maj. Noah undertook a project to re-establish the Jewish nation in a form of @ state on Grand Island, in Niagara river, near Buffalo. A city of refuge was dedi- cated in 1825, but Maj. Noah finally realized the project was impracticable and it was abandoned. Maj. Noah was a voluminous writer, and some of his best work is reproduced in a volume called “Gleanings From a Gathered Harvest." He lectured repeatedly on sub- jects associated with his religion and wrote a number of plays, some of which, based upon a strong patriotism, were very popu- lar throughout the country, being regularly Produced on the evening of the Fourth of July. He was intimately associated with the greatest Americans of his time, and his personal influence was unusually wide and One of his most marked traits was his great philgpthropy, and benevo- lence. ‘ With all these characteristics he had a ready wit and a power of repartee unusu- ally keen. Mr. Wolf notes one instance of this capacity. When he was elected high sheriff some dissatisfied persons remarked that it had come to a pretty pass for a Jew to hang a Christian. “Pretty Christian, forsooth, who deserves hanging,” was Maj. Noah’s retort, and nothing further was heard on this score. Maj. Noah foresaw the civil war and ad- vocated the abolition of slavery by pro- gressive laws. His editorials on this sub- ject are among the most notable writings of the time. These few notes of a remarkable career indicate the wealth of material that Mr. Wolf has utilized in the preparation of his biographical sketch. His work is well done, and concluding its examination the reader can but join with him in the hope that some day a complete story of Noah’s life, which was so closely associated with the early years of the republic, may be pre- pared. The portrait from which the fron- Usplece was reproduced is a mintature painted by the elder Jarvis in 1840. A son of Major Noeh, Judge J. J. Noah, is a well- known and greatly esteemed resident of Washington. THB LIQUOR PROBLEM IN ITS LEGISLATIVE, ASPECTS. By Frederic H. Wines and Job Koren. Boston: Houghton, Miflin & Co. Washington: Brentano's. In this volume are presented the results of an investigation into the legislative aspects of the great Hquor problem under- taken by a subcommittee, composed of Charles W. Eliot, Seth Low and James C. Carter, appoirted by the Committee of Fifty. This organization has for several years been dealing with sociological ques- tions, and among these that of the liquor traffic has been taken up with systematic thoroughness. Subcommittees were ap- pointed in 1893 on the different aspects of the drink probiem; one on the physiological aspects, one on the legislative, one on the economic and one on the ethic. The first report of the committee on the legislative aspects is here given. It is ore of the most complete presentatidns of this subject ever Published. It deals first with prohibition in Maine and its results; the history of pro- hibition in Towa, the South Carolina dis- pensary system, the restrictive system in Massachusetts, 1875 to 1804; the liquor laws of Pennsylvania; the Ohio Nquor law; the lquor laws in Indiana since 1851 and the Missouri local option law. Thus it virtually covers the entire field of legislative en- deavors to regulate the liquor traffic. The investigations were conducted in the field by trained agents and the results were carefully reviewed by the subcommittee be- fore publication. The reports were greatly condensed so that the volume now issued is as compact as ft 4s possible for editing to make it. As the fitst, step in a scientific inquiry into this gregt subject the book is invaluable. ji 2 A HISTORY OF CANADA( ‘By Obarles G. D. Rob- erts. Boston: Lamesom, Welffe & Co. Washing- ton: Brentano's. 3) 51 Canadian history ‘ghowtd be, next to that of the United ‘Statés, more absorb- ing to readers of this. country than the record of any other“land. There is much to make’a conmunity of'interests between the people‘of Canada end’the republic, and in places the histories, df the two coun- tries interlap inextricably. It is well, therefore, that a history of Canada has now been written by*one whose reputa- tion for care as well’#s ‘for literary style is well established. Mr/~ Roberts has a poetic tempcrament, ‘dt it has not inter- fered with his discriminating researches or with the systematic presentation of the results of his Inquiries, Readers of gen- eral literature, indeed, may thank him for undertaking this historical enterprise, for it haa given him, ‘in addition to the matertal that he has .used in the present volume, a great fund that has aiready ap- peared and perhaps will continue to ap- pear in the form of romances and novels. A fine map of the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland accompanies the volume. FLAMES. By Robert Hichens, author of ‘The Green Carnation,”* tive Man," . The reputation which Mr. Hichens ac- Qvired through “The “Green Carnation” is well sustained in. his ‘latest effort; which deals with the transmisaion of souls from body to body and wrestles with the last problem of the power of the human will Ht might better have been called “The Lady of the Feathers,” from the character that unquestionably holds the center of in- terest from the time that she is introducet. She is one of Lonéon's army of the street, and her pure love for Julian Addison elevates her from her sordid surroundings important but the one fault of rather tiresome length.

Prosecuting Attorney Pugh issued a war- rant this afternoon, on complaint of At- torney Thomas L. Jones, charging Henry Brumhaus with violating the civil rights law. Mention of the case was made in yes- terday’s Star. Mr. Brumhaus keeps a din- ing room in the basement at Louisiana ave- nue and 6th street. Wednesday morning the attorney, with two friends, one white and the other colored, called at the dining room and wanted to be served. The pro- prietor, it is alleged, offered to serve his white friend, but wanted the colored at- torney to eat in the kitchen, so it is charged, and this he refused to do. The law provides a penalty of $100 and for- feiture of the license for refusing to serve a well-behaved and respectable colored per- son. It is likely that Judge Kimball will hear the case tomorrow. —_— MEXICAN EDITORS ARRESTED.

A sensational arrest was made yesterday of the entire editorial staff of the paper called El Continente Americano. in the City of Mexico, which is the organ of the Mexican sympathizers with the Cuban in- surgents, at the instigation of the Duke de Arcos, the Spanish minister, who com- plains that the paper has insulted a friend- ly_nation. The editors are young Mexican students, and popular sympathy Is with them. The arrest is causing much comment, but it could not be helped, as the Spanish min- ister presented formal complaint, and, un- der the law, action had to be taken, but the outcome is watched with great interest.

There was a large force of men on hand, however, and the fire was extin- guished before the arrival of the depart- ment. There was no necessity for turning in an alarm as it turned out, but the su- perintendent of the crematory thought it best to be on the safe side.
