by five years. The clerk was Timothy
Matlack, who died at Holmesburg, Pa,
in 1929, when he was ninety-nine years
Of age.
Timothy Matlack, writes Gaillard
Hunt, chief of manuscript division Ii
brary, in the Youths Companion, was
a Quaker by birth, but he was an open
advocate Of fighting, and in 1776 was
elected captain of militia band in
Philadelphia, known as the "Shirt bat
TALON" So the Quakers, who were OPP
posed to war, expelled him, and in
1881 he and some others formed the
sect known as "Free Quakers." Be
Sides being in the Continental congress
he held number of important offices
under the government Of Pennsylvania
and Philadelphia. His last service
was as alderman Of Philadelphia from
1913 to 1918.
Was Great Penman.
To carry out the order Of the con-
gress that the Declaration be pro-
claimed, Thomson needed more than a
score Of copies, for he had to send it
to everyone Of the states and to the
army. So to save time he did not at
tempt to have any copies written Off
with the pen, but sent the original
drafts, which the congress had passed,
to the official printer, John Dunlap.
The following morning the printed
copies were in Thomson's hands.
1t was from one Of those copies that
Philadelphia first heard the Declare.
ton read, and 1t was one of them that
became the official copy, for Thomson
had not copied the Declaration even
into the journal of the congress be-
fore he gave it to the printer; but
when he wrote the journal fog July
he left blank space for the Declare.
ton, and the next day, with two waters
of red wax, he fastened in the printed
broadside. At the time 1t had been
signed only by John Hancock, as presi-
dent Of congress, and countersigned by
Charles Thomson as secretary.

have said sometimes an entry was
made In the journal Of the congress by
another hand than Thomson's, writes
Mr., Hunt. The first of those Occa.
si0ns was on June IL, It's, when Tim

set aside day for fasting and prayer
to avert the desolating calamities that
seemed 70 be impending. Matlack had
been appointed a clerk In Thomson's
ONCE on May Is, and five days later, on
May 20, he wrote out the most import
ant document that the congress had
issued up to that time-the commission

commission and in the word British"
in the Declaration; the whole word
Congress in both Recommendations
and other details established beyond
Il doubt that the writer of the great
Declaration was Timothy Matlack.
Although Timothy Matlack lived a
long time, he did not live long enough
to see the; harm that befell the docu-
ment he had written so handsomely.
He and his contemporaries were proud
of it, and their descendants have held
it in reverence above all other dOcu-
ments; and to satisfy the patriotic Gu
riosity of the people who have wished
to see 1t those who were its custodians
in past years subjected it to treatment
that did 1t irreparable injury.
In 1924, when John Quincy Adams
was secretary of state, skilled en-
graver, William ]. Stone, made a cop
per plate facsimile of the Declaration.
That is the only one that has ever been
made. 1t was distributed by order of
congress and is familiar to US all. 1t is
a perfect reproduction in every partica
ular of the original document us 1t was
when the facsimile was made, and is a
fine specimen of the engraver's art. I'm
fortunately at the time he made it pho
Biography had not been discovered, and
Stone took an impression of the dOcu-
ment itself, and in doing so carried off
some Of the ink.
Signatures Almost Invisible.
That was great injury; but equal
harm came to the document by keeping
1t on exhibition in strong light. It
was in the state department until 1841,
when it was placed in the patent Office,
where 1t remained until the Centennial
exhibition of 1876, when it was taken
to Philadelphia. There 1t remained for
nearly year; then 1t was returned to
Washington and went back to the sec
rotary of states Office.
Already the ink had begun to fade,
but the document was again put on ex-
hibition.- The ink faded rapidly and by
1894 many of the signatures had be-
come almost invisible. Then there was
a formal conference Of scientific men,
who considered what was the best
course to take to protect 1t.
Wise counselors advised that it
should not be experimental with, and
1t was left untouched. It was taken
from its place Of exhibition, however,
and put into q dark safe, secure from
further damage from the light. Dur
ing the last Is years very few persons
have been permitted to look upon its
face and the handsome. handiwork Of
Timothy Matlack remains hidden from
the world.

der in chief Of the American army. The
Identification of the penmanship OF the
commission with that of the entry in
the journal and of both with an auto
graph letter of Matlack's that is among
the papers of the Continental congress
Is certain.
Probably there was not at that time
a man in the country who was Mat
lacks equal as penman. Later Ihom-
son had two clerks in his office, George
Bond and Thomas Edison, each OF
whom wrote a good engrossing hand;
so did General Washingtons secretary,
Richard Varick. Alexander Hamilton
wrote a finer hand than any Of them,
but neither he nor any of the others
could equal the beauty of Matlacks
capital letters and the clearness and
symmetry of his writing as whole.
MatIack Copied the Declaration.
Fortunately, Matlack was still a
clerk in ThomsOn's office when the
Declaration of Independence was or
dered to be engrossed for final sigma
ture, and the task Of copying it was as
signed to him. He copied from the
broadside, "In Congress, July 4, 1776,"
which is reproduced in the written
Declaration in the same form of let
tering.
1t is not easy to identify the penman-
ship of q document like the Declara-
ton, for the writer has written very
plainly and in characters of twice the
normal size, but some Individual Pc
culiarities appear in this as In all
writing. 4 few years ago some OF the
officials in the library of congress who
knew that Matlack was the best pen
man employed by Thomson made q
comparison of General Washington S
commission, which was known to have
been written by him, with the Dcclara-
ton.
The first peculiar letter in the COM
mission is the capital en- in New
Hampshire, and we find its counterpart
in Natures" in the second line Of the
body of the Declaration. The graceful
flourish at the top of Ct in the word
ITO in the commission is repeated in
the second of the sentences beginning
''That" in the Declaration. In the word
"offer'' in the commission there is a
marked popularity in the double ST; :"
the first 81 is made like the old-fash-
toned long IS" 1t appears in the word
effect in the Declaration, then in
"suffer" and "sufferable" That is the
most noteworthy pecuIiarfty in Mat
lacks writing. The capital ''D' in the
commission and in the last line of the
Declaration; the capital ''B" in the
