George Downing"
= This Downing was the son of Eman.
uel Downing OF Salem, Mass. His
mother was Lucy, sister of Gov. John
Winthrop He was educated at Harv-
ard and was the second graduate OF
the university. For time he was
professor there, teaching the younger
students. Then he went off to the
West Indies, was chaplain OF the ship
and did a deal of preaching. He
eventually reached England. The
time were troublous, the civil war was
raging and Downing sided with Crom-
well.
When the king once more came into
his own, Downing's peace was made
with Charles ii. by Thomas Howard,
brother of the earl of Suffolk and an
cestor of the man who has made Daisy
Letter of Chicago and Washington an
English countess.
Soon after Downing was restored to
favor the king made him the chief
treasurer. Downing gave the proni-
gate king all the money he wanted and
in several pamphlets defended his
royal master. He also saw that the
kings three chief favorites. the Ouch
ess Of Portsmouth. Lady Castlemaine
and Nell Gwynn, had their share of
dips into the English treasury. He
was such a great sycopant that he OBJ
tanned a grant of 100000 from the
king He served in all the parliaments
and was known as "the house bell to
call all the courtiers to vote"
The founder OF Downing street built
some houses on 1t which he sold as
we'll as leased. Nos. 8, 10 and IL were
sold to Lee Lord Litchheld, master Of
the horse to King James II. When the
king fed from England Lord Litchheld
had to do the same. and his property
was forfeited TO the crown. In this
way these three houses came into the
possession OF the government.
King George /. knocked Nos. 9 and

George II. offered the house as a gift
to Sir Robert Walpolt then prime
minister. Walpole refused II for him
self, but accepted it as the Office of the
first lord of the treasury and perpetual
onicial residence OF the prime minis
ter.

Pennsylvania Railroads Methods OF Re
ducing Operating Expenses.

Usual methods of reducing OpeF-
ating expenses have been adopted
by the Pennsylvania,R Road by adher-
ing to which 1t probably will accom-
cOmplish tspurpose without getting
into conflict with any classes of
its operatives over the question of
wages. While it has not reduced
wages, it clipped $l,50O,0O0 from the
amount PAID it's men during the
month of January. The result of
this will be that its net earnings for
January, if still showing loss as
compared with those of the same
month last year, will make a much
better thowing than did those of the
previous month. In December the
roads loss in net amounted to ST.
1l4,00O.
The reduction in expenses has
been accomplished by the employ
ment of fewer men and the shorten
ing of the hours of labor of those
employed. 1t is anxious to avoid
the actual discharge of any of
its employees, and working those
who wish to remain in itg service.
until times improve III turns, it hopes
to retain most of them manently
in it's service. Should this plan
work as it is hoped, until bushes
revives, all its men will go b ack on
full time at the same high rate of
pay that was established at the end
of 1905.
This is expected to be more salts
factory to the men than any reduc-
ton in the rate of pay, because if
pay had been reduced, it probably
would be some time after the revival
of business before the old rate would
be restored.
1t is not by the reduction of the
pay roll alone that the Pennsylva-
MIA is reducing its operating expen-
ses. Economy has become the gov
erning principle in all expenditures
of money. The road has been ceas-
ed by ties, and and new policy in
connection with repair work has
been put into effect. POstpOnement
has become'tbe order of the day and
no work that can be put off till a
more convenient season is being un-
dertaken at present.
Should the reductions effected in
operating expenses in January be
continued throughout the year, the
result would be a saving of SIS, 100000
as compared with an increase of So
100000 last year.

for whom the reign of Queen Eliza
beth is celebrated. Probably Adams
knew Sir Francis Drake. Sir Martin
Frobisher, Sir Richard Granville and
others of their class; anyhow, he was
inspired by them. Adams landed In
Japan I'm 1900 in charge Of a Dutch
vessel. Immediately upon their ar
rival Adams and his shipmates were
taken prisoners. and their presence
reported TO Emperor Iyeyasu.
At the time Adams arrived in Japan
the emperor was engaged in a con
fiict with the Jesuits. He feared the
rellgionists were plotting to gain com
troll of the government, and he had
begun gathering information upon
which an edict was based a few years
later Adams was a Protestant, and
was not in sympathy with the Jesuits.
The latter sought to prevent an inter
view between the emperor and the
English adventurer, but were unsuc-
cessful.
Iyeyasu. II appears, was anxious for
some first-hand information about the
doings OF the outside world, especially
in regard to religion and politics.
Adams, having travelled much and
been a close observer of men and man
ners, was able to give the emperor
the enlightenment that he desired.
Iyeyasu was a shrewd statesman; he
knew that he had found valuable
man and he detained Adams at his
court.
The emperor refused Adams no re-
quest, 1t is said. except the privilege
OF returning to England. The sailor
was assigned to many important du-
ties, such as the building of a
feet. He received many gifts from
the emperor. and. finally, the poor
English pilot became samurai, or
military retainer, and was endowed
with vast estate. Writing back to
England of his adventures in Japan,
Adams said:

service, he hath given me liuing, like

Jason did not join him, however. He
had had enough OF war.

a softening effect on the heart of ia

Akron, O.--Jason Brown celebrated
his eishty-fifth birthday at his home,
four miles west of this city, the other
day. He IL the only surviving son OF
the famous John Brown who started
the civil war in Kansas nearly de-
cade before Fort Sumter was fired
upon, who led free soldiers" at
Osawatomie, and who was hanged for
his raid on Harpers Ferry a few
years later.
Jason Brown was with his father in
the Kansas warfare, and he carried
arms at Osawatomie. He believed in
his father and had faith in the cause
Of freedom. The hanging Of his ia
ther and the slaughter OF his brothers
and other relatives made him some
thing of a recluse and wanderer
until a few years ago, when advanc-
Ing age caused him to settle down.
He took up his residence here on the
farm conducted by his son.
The birthplace Of Jason Brown was
in Hudson village, this county, not

place on which he now makes his

no reason for her going in so des-
perately for music.
