Two eminent men who are we'll past the tIree-score-and mark will be the recipients of birthday congra tula- tio6s to-day-the Right Hon. James Bryce, who recently retired as Brit ish ambassador to the United States, and James Gorden Bennett, the ven erabIe editor and owner of the New York Herald.
 Downing Street assuredIy picked a winner" when MT. Bryce was sent to Washington, and his passing has been viewed with general regret The au- thor of tsThe American Common wealth. the witty, amiabIe, whim- sical genius who has been introduced to a thousand American audiences. as lone EngIishman who understands the United States and it's people" was born in Belfast seventy-five years ago to- day. At twenty one he published his first book, ''The Flora of the Island of Arran." He was only twenty four when he wrote "The Holy Roman Empire a work that aroused the ad- miratfon of historians, and has gone through a score or more editions. He was called to the bar in 1887, and three years later paid his first visit to America. This and subsequent visits aroused in MT. Bryce a great ad- miration for America and it's institu- tions and people, both of the United States and Canada. The Am merican
 
 a century ago, was a just and scholar ly appreciation of the American sys- tenn of government. Of the federal principle as worked out in the Do- minion MT. Bryce has said:s ''Its success is perhaps greater than any where else in the world. with the pos sibIe exception of Switzerland
 The hands-across-the-s and blood s-thicker-than-wa sentiments have gained much In enthusiasm and power since MT. Bryce took up his residence in Washington, and his successor Sir Cecil Arthur SpringRice, will have to be very prince of diplomats to equal the Bryce. record. Personally MT. Bryce is a spry, agile little man, all animation and zest and earnestness, who speaks with slight Scotch burr. and never opens his mouth without saying something. After his tour of the Far East MT. Bryce will proceed to The Hague to become member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. At SeVenty-f1Ve he IS yet much too young to think of retiring to a chim- ney corner.
 MT. James Gordon Bennett, son and successor of the founder of the New York Herald, passes his seventy sec ond milestone to-day. For many years he has resided principally in Paris, where he publishes an Euro pean edition of the Herald, but he exercises, through cab1ed instructions, a general supervision of the Herald and it's offspring, the Evening Te1e- gram. MT. Bennett is man of many eccentricities, and one of them is that his desk must be kept always in per feet order, and his private office ready for immediate occupancy, with flowers and the latest papers on the table, and a light burning all night. This is supposed to impress the Her aids employees and give them the idea that the boss is always on the job'' although he is really several thous- and miles away. MT. Bennett enter tains a great admiration for the roy alty and nobility, and he has sought and won the friendship of many kings and princes, lords. dukes and belted earIs.

SIR PERCY GIROUARD ENTERS PRIVATE SIP
 BUILDING ENTERPRISE

London, May 10-The secret of the retirement of Sir Percy Girouard from the Imperial service to join the board of directors of the great ship building firm of Messrs. Armstrong, Whitworth & Company, is out.
 Sir Percy is a Canadian by birth, and he is about to return to the Do- minion to advise the suitability of certain Canadian ports for the con 3struction of docks and other engineer ing works in connection with future shipbuilding. He will also consult with the Dominion ministers in regard to the dry docks to be built at Halifax Quebec and Esquimault. It is under stood that the private tenders for these docks having proved unsatisfac- tory the Canadian Government have decided to build them themselves.
 Sir Percy Girouard was born in MonA trea1. He joined the Royal Engineers and making railway construction a speciality rendered splendid service to Great Britain in Egypt and South Africa He built the railway which took Kitchener to Khartoum; reor- ganized the Egytian railways, and when Kitchener went to South Africa to conclude the South African war, he immediately sent for the French Can adian who became Commissioner of RaiIways in the Transvaa1 and Orange River Colony. rebuilding what had been destroyed during the war. A few years in Nigeria and East Africa as chief of the administration of those colonies and Sir Percy resigned to go into the shipbuiIding business.
 His withdrawal from the govern ment service gave rise to a contro- versy as to whether the Imperial Gov ment paid it's servants sufficient to re tain them when big salaries were of fered by private concerns. Many man who would have rendered inval- uable service to the country has been attracted by the salaries offering In private life, and most of the big ship building yards and other engineering works are now headed by former of ficers of the navy and army.

The first number of the New York World under the editorial manage ment and ownership of Joseph Pu1it- ger was issued thirty years ago to-day, May 1G, 1883. The World was es- tabIished in 1860, and, at the time MT. Pulitzer purchased it was controlled by Jay Gould, was practically bank rupt, was utterly lacking in influence, and had a circulation in New York of less than 10000 copies. The pol icy that made the World one of the greatest and most powerful of Ameri- can journalistic institutions was an nounced by MT. Pulitzer in the follow ing language:
 'tAn institution that should always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, al- ways fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always op- pose privileged classes and public p1underers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be sat1sf1 ed with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty"

The first observance of the lasts ant

The first observance of the lasts and applications called Rogations was at the instance of St. Manmertus, Arch bishop of Vienna in Dauphine, who lived in the fifth century, and whose festival is celebrated to-day by the Catholic Church. The Archbishop taught that the earthquakes, fires, pes tilence, and the ravages of wild beasts, were tokens of divine anger. To pla- cate the wrath of the Almighty, the prelate urged the necessity and eff cacy Of devout prayer, and recon n1ended the institution of an annual fast and supp1ication of three days, in which all the faithful should join, to appease the divine indignation by ab- stinence from food, prayer, tears, and the confession of sins. This fnstitu- ton of Rogation Days soon spread to other churches, and in a very short time became a universal practice. Ro- gation days are the three days imne- diately preceding Ascension. The i'm stitution founded by Mammertus is based on the passage reading: Know ye that the Lord will hear your pray CTS, if you continue with perseverance in fasting and prayers in the sight of the Lord.''
