were Jews, and two more were admitted to the
association a short time later
When the Revolutionary War broke out the
Jews helped the patriots both with men and
money. Haym Solomon furnished funds for the
Continental army when il looked as if its de-
feat was inevitable. After New-York was taken
by the British he was thrown into the Provost
Prison which later was the old Hall OF Rec

Of gold II is recorded that he advanced
money to many prominent men in these critical
times. and it was Of Solomon that James Mad-
son wrote TO his friend, Edmund Randolph. as
follows:
The kindness of our little friend in Front
St. near the coffee house, is a fund that viii
preserve me from extTemities, but never re-
sort thither without great morthcation' as he
obstinately rejects all reCOmpense."
When Solomon died it was found that he had
100000 worth of certificates Of the Loan Office
of the government Treasury.

New-York seems to have an ever increasing
attraction for the Jew. One hundred years ago
only one Jew I'm six settled here. In 1850 about
half the Jewish immigrants became New-York-
ers whereas at the present time five out of six
make this city their home.
Most Of the Jews in this city have come here
in the last twenty years. There have been sew
eraI successive waves Of immigration, each
bringing in a greater number Until ISL the
Spanish and Portuguese Jews predomnated, and
at the end of that period there were not more
than 500 OF them. Then came the English and
German Jews the latter driven out by the
Napoleonic and other wars, and coming mostly
from the small southern towns of the German
States. BY 1882 the German Jews vastly sur
passed all others both in numbers and wealth.
Then came the repressiye May Laws in Russia,
exiling a great army which has New-York as
its abiding place. The Russian Jewish element
now outnumbers all others.
New York Jews have attained distinction. not
only in business ana the professions. but also in
society politics. education and music. The first
Jewish lawyer was Sampson simpson. admitted
TO the bar in 1902. At the present time about
one-third the lawyers Of the city are Jews.
