END OF LONDON'S
COLUMBIA MARKET

A T a recent auction sale in Lon
II don of the effects of Baroness

Of Columbia Market were sold for nine
guineas. In a few weeks the market
itself is to come under the hammer,
and 1t will be curious to note what is
the fate of this mistaken effort in phi
lanthropy.
Columbia Market, a vast. ornate,
Gothic pile. is not one of the show
places of London and 1t never was. 1t
stands in Bethnal Green. in a neigh
borhood formerly known as Nova
Scotia Gardens. and one of the most
unsavory quarters Of the metropolis.
On the site of the market was colony
of low tenements inhabited by folk to
whom the amenities of civilized life
were almost entirely unknown.
About sixty years ago this deplor-
able quarter of London caught the eye
of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts; her
generous heart was touched by its

rumber of historians, among them
Forst. Bancroft and Webster. One
of their strongest defenses is of course
Thomas Mexican. the diss enting signer,
who. il is known. did not place his
name on the document until 1881. five
years after its adoption.
John Adams, who, when he trans
mitted McKean's letter of dissent from
the popular belief to friend, asked:
What are we to think of history,
when in less than forty years such
diversities appear in the memories Of
living men who were Witnesses"
McKean's letter shows that a num-
Der of other men whose names were on
the Declaration as printed in the
Journal, made public in 1777. We're
also not present on that memorable
day This letter was written to John
Adams under date of January. 1914:

appears that the Declaration of Inde-

names are there inserted whereas no
person signed it on that day, and

not in Congress that day. namely,
Messrs. Morris, Rush, Clymer, Smith,
Taylor and Ross, all of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. Thornton of New Hampshire,
nor were the six gentlemen last named
members of Congress on the 4th
of July The five for Pennsylvania
were appointed delegates by the con-
vention of that State on the goth
of July, and Mr.. Thornton took his
seat in Congress for the first time on
the 4th of November following;
where the names of Henry Wisner of
New York and Thomas Mexican of
Delaware are not printed as subscrib-
ers, though both were present in Con-
gress on the 4th of July and voted
for independence.
After the 4th of July I was not in
Congress for several months, having
marched with regiment of Associa-
tors as Colonel to support Gen. Wash

thousand men was completed. When
the Associators were discharged I
returned to Philadelphia, took my seat
in Congress, and signed my name to

But Two Names Used
On Public Proclamation
When the Declaration was pro-
claimed in public after its adoption
only the names of John Hancock,
the president of the Congress, and
Charles Thomson, its secretary, were
read. The publication in the Printed
Journal of 1777 was made to read as
