DOWNING STREET, LONDON.
IL Bears the Name of a Clever Man
From Massachusetts.

IL ooaTS tne Namo OF OleNor wan
From Massachusetts.
Downing street, London, where are
the British colonial and foreign Offices
and the official residence of the first
lord Of the treasury and where cabinet
councils are held, perpetuates the name
OF n clever man from Massachusetts.
Those were the days before the Fourth
OF July had any significance in Ameri-
can annals. and George Downing, the
first scholar in the first public school in
Massachusetts and the first graduate
sent out by Harvard college, came to
England and became a chaplain in
CromweIl's army.
By a remarkable stroke of fortune
he was sent to represent England at
The Hague when Europe was trem-
bling before Oliver,-and during three
distinct eras in England's history he
held the office Of British ambassador
at the Dutch court He was as popu-
lar or as clever under the Merry Mon
arch as under the protector and the
commonwealth, and it came TO pass In
the reign Of Charles II. that the man
from Massachusetts was granted a
great tract of land at Westminster.
where he built huge mansions and laid
out Downing street.
To this day Downlng's street is
Downing street still, and, though
George Downing is forgotten, there is
no name in the British empire which
is more familiar to us than hist.

factories having products for the
census year of a value less than $500
except that reports were taken for
establishments idle during a portion
of the year 1909, or which began op-
erations in that year, and whose
