Il Bears the Name of Clever Man
From Massachusetts,.
Downing street. London, where are
the British colonial and foreign Offices
and the oficial 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
Cromwells 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 Downing'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 his.-St
lanes Gazette.

Whom Coal Was a Novelty In England.
Our ancestors, when coal was a nov
city, petitioned the legislature to pro-
hibit its use, and the parliament of
1906 did so, but the wood merchants
put up their prices to such an extent
that the anti-coal fire act had to be re-
pealed. There is every reason for be-
lieving that Britain has the honor of
discovering the utility Of coal and that
the year of 1884, when Henry III.
granted a charter for it's mining,
marks the beginning of the coal age.
