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 Harry
ard and was the second graduate of
the university. For a time he was a
professor there, teaching the younger
students. Then he went Off to the
West Indies, was chaplain OF the ship
aad did a deal of preaching. He
eventually reached England. The
time were troublous, the civil war was
raging and Downing sided with Crom-

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 profit
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
soze houses on it which he sold as
well as leased. Nos. 8. 10 and IL were
sold to Lee Lord Litchfield, master of
the horse to King James ii. When the
king fed from England Lord Litchfield
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
10 into one residence and presented 1t
to Baron Bothmar. the Hanoverian
minister, for life. On Bothmar's death
George H. offered the house as gift
to Sir Robert Walpolt, then prime
minister. Walpole refused 1t for him
self, but accepted 1t as the Office of the
first lord of the treasury and perpetual
official residence of the prime minis
ter.
And thus 1t came about that Down
ing street is 1.-The most famous street
in the world Although all the
proclamations and official papers OF
England are dated from Our Palace
of st. James," they really emanate
from Downing street. For. two cen
turtles the British empire has been run
from the dingy house in this narrow,
dull cul-de-sac, and probably will con-
tinue for centuries of the future.

Beautiful Effects at Night.
The interior of the Auditorium when
the myriad Of varied1colored electric lights
was turned on last night presented q de-
cidedly beautiful and pleasing appear
ance. The exhibits were practically all
in place, although there were a few fin
ishing touches to be put on here and
there and the entire show excited moth
ing but admiration from those who visited
IT. The attendance last evening, however,
was not as large as had been looked for
on the opening night, but it is believed
the people were too tired after going to
the National Corn exposition In Omaha
during the afternoon to take in the To-
cal attraction in the evening. A much
larger attendance is looked for today.
IF Omaha comes back at us as well
as we went at them. the Auditorium won't
hold the crowd" said Vice President Kee-
line last evening while discussing the
prospects for a big Tuesday crowd.
The floral decorations showed up mag
nificently last evening when the lights
were turned on. The hundreds of small
blue, white and red -incandescent globes
scattered among the green foliage which
covers the walls and f~estoons the gal
l%eries. pillars and roof trusses, proved
most effective. The feature of the dec
orative scheme which excited much ad-
miration is the Immense design back Of
the bandstand on the east wall. This
design, which is twelve feet square, rep
resents an immense cornucopia, from
which Is pouring a myriad of apples.
