Signed by President Grover Cleveland Saturday, April 25, 1885
By the President of the United States of America.
Whereas the Government of His Majesty the King of Italy has extended to the Government of the United States an invitation to participate in a sanitary conference to be held at Rome on the 15th day of May, 1885, for the purpose of devising efficient measures to prevent the invasion of cholera and to mitigate its disastrous consequences; and
Whereas, by a provision of the act of Congress entitled "An act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886, and for other purposes," approved March 3, 1885, for the suppression of epidemic diseases, the President of the United States is authorized, in case of threatened or actual epidemic of cholera or yellow fever, to use certain appropriated sums, made immediately available, "in aid of State and local boards or otherwise, in his discretion, in preventing and suppressing the spread of the same and for maintaining quarantine and maritime inspections at points of danger;" and
Whereas there is imminent danger of a recurrence of a cholera epidemic in Europe, which may be brought to our shores unless adequate measures of international or local quarantine and maritime inspection are taken in season, which measures of preventive inspection are proper to be considered by the aforesaid conference, to the end that their efficiency in divers countries may be secured:
Now, therefore, in virtue of the discretionary authority conferred upon me by the aforesaid act of Congress, I hereby designate and appoint Major George M. Sternberg, surgeon in the United States Army, to attend said conference at Rome as the delegate thereto on the part of the Government of the United States, under the directions and instructions of the Secretary of State; and I hereby direct the Secretary of War to detail the said George M. Sternberg to perform the special service to which he is thus assigned, with full pay and allowances as on active service; and I further direct that the reasonable and necessary expenses of travel and sojourn of the said George M. Sternberg in proceeding from Washington to Rome, and during his attendance there upon the sessions of the said conference, and in returning, upon the conclusion thereof, from Rome to Washington, be adjusted and paid from the appropriation available under the aforesaid act of March 3, 1885, upon his statement of account approved by the Secretary of State.
Done at the city of Washington, this 25th day of April, A. D. 1885, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and ninth.
By the President:
       T. F. Bayard, Secretary of State.

Signed by President Woodrow Wilson Wednesday, December 15, 1915
All persons leaving the United States for foreign countries should be provided with passports of the Governments of which they are citizens. These documents are rendered necessary because the regulations of all European countries and of several other foreign countries require passports or other documents of identification of all persons who enter their boundaries. The Secretary of State, in co-operation with the Secretary of the Treasury, will make arrangements for the inspection of passports of all persons, American or foreign, leaving this country, and the fact that these passports have been seen will be stamped thereon.
All applications to the Secretary of State for passports from American citizens must be made in duplicate, and must be accompanied with three copies of the photograph of the applicant. Each applicant for a passport must inform the Department of State at what point he intends to depart, on what date, and by what ship if he sails from an American port.
Applications shall be made in the manner heretofore prescribed by the rules governing the granting and issuing of passports, but the Secretary of State may designate an agent or agents to take applications, and wherever his agent is stationed applications shall be made only before him.
This order will become effective as soon as the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury have made the arrangements necessary for that purpose.

See Executive Order 651, June 11, 1907, and the final report of the committee.
Signed by President Theodore Roosevelt Wednesday, May 13, 1908
On June 11, 1907, an executive order was issued under which the heads of the Executive Departments formed a committee on grades and salaries. This committee prepared clear and concise tables of estimates for positions and salaries in conformity with the schedule and recommendations of the committee on department methods of January 4, 1907. In the absence of action by Congress on the general subject of departmental grades the heads of the executive departments and independent government establishments are hereby ordered to arrange the present salaries in said executive departments and independent Government establishments so as to conform, as nearly as may be, to the principles underlying the report of the committee on grades and salaries.
Owing to the fact that the annual salaries attaching to adjacent grades often differ by as much as $200, it will, of course, be impossible to do more than approximate this plan, and in many cases also it will be impossible to make changes with exact adaptation to individual efficiency. But the good of the service urgently demands that as far as practicable the rule be followed of paying similar salaries for similar grades of work, and that to each position shall be assigned the person best fitted for it, as shown by work already accomplished.

# Exulting, Triumphing, Come From Every Nation

From Notes and Queries, 5th Series, Vol. XI, 1879; retrieved from hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com
The "Adeste Fideles" (5th S. xi. 265, 298, 331, 372.)—The version of this hymn sung at Margaret Chapel, London, during Mr. Oakley's ministry, is certainly not the earliest English translation that was made for use in a Church of England congregation. I remember the following version—said at the time to have been made by a lady—being used in a church in Guernsey about the year 1820, certainly not later than in 1823 :—
Exulting, triumphing, come from every nation;
Come hither to Bethlehem your offerings bring;
Come and behold one born for your salvation,— O, come let us adore Him (ter), Christ our King!
Foretold by the prophets in the sacred pages,
A virgin, O wonder ! brings forth a child;
Hail, Son of God, expected through long ages,—
O, come let us adore Him (ter), Saviour mild !
Then welcome the day which gave us such a treasure, Redemption to mortals this day affords;
Jesus is born, our joy shall know no measure,— O, come let us adore Him (ter), Lord of Lords!
Let praises by angels, by mankind be given, Let praises unfeigned for such love ne'er end;
Glory to God resound from earth to heaven,—
O, come let us adore Him (ter), sinners' Friend!"
This translation cannot boast of being very literal, but it is rhythmical and devoid of the stiffness of most of the other versions, and I can only wonder that it never became popular.
