Robert Norris who also obtained for him a position
as clerk IN the auditors office Though quite youth
prepared the actuary tables of the eight per cent
loan IN such satisfactory manner that Congress
voted him 500 for his services When the can;tol
was removed to Washington young Noah resigned
and for short time reported the proceedings of the
pennsylvania Legislature at Harrisburg
few years before the war of 1s1 he returned "a
Charleston, S. c., then the largest and weath;est
seaport in this country. Here he made MANY enc

the antiwar sentiment being prevalent MANY diff.
eutes were thrust upon him. but after he had fought
three duels, in one of which he killed his man he was
let alone.
In the tall OF 1912, President Madison appointed
MAJOR Noah United States Consul at Riga. Russia
which he declined, and in the following wear he was

on final settlement it was found that about 81 900

Noah was outspoken in his opinion of the action of
the United States which at that time paid 5000 900
annual tribute that American vessels might navigate
the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of the Barbary

If the statement Is correct fresh trouble
may bs anticipated in the settlement of the
Greco Turkish peace preliminaries. II has
been reported for some time that the Turkish
government was contemplating lending ad-

Thursday last the admirals in command of
the foreign fleets in Cretan waters held a

not accept such a decision, apparently taking
the ground that the Porte would persist in its
intention to reinforce the Turkish garrison in
Crete
