Nothing could excced our admira- tion for your qualities as a wife and a mother, and we beg leave to offer you the compliments of the day and the wish that you may live long. WILLIAM CAMPBELL GIBSON Born July 23, 1838 Admiral Gibson, now retired, has served his country long and honorably. After an apprenticeship in the merchant ma- rine he enlisted in the navy in 1861, served on the Potomac flotilla during the Civil War, commanded the steamer City of Pekin during the Spanish War, and was commander of the battleship Texas at the close of his distinguished carcer. We salute you, sir, as a man of valor and a patriot. May you continue to dwell among us in peace and prosperity ! ALBERT SHAW Born July 23, 1857 Dr. Shaw is a graduate of Towa College, also a Ph.D. and an LL.D. He began as an editorial writer and is now the editor of the Review of Reviews. He has written many things of interest We know of no reason why we should not be enthusiastic about his birthday. The fact that he is an editor is pleasing to note; that he is a man well informed need not ™ necessarily be held up against him, In Copr. Pach Bros. short, we wish him well. JAMES CIBBONS Born July 23, 1834 Cardinal Gibbons was born in this country and educated in Ireland; was ordained a priest in 1861 and in 1884 was made Cardinal and invested with the princely insignia, He is probably the most notable representative of the Roman Catho lic Church in this country We may be sure that it would not have been possible for him to have risen to his present. eminence without distinguished qualities of mind and heart. He is a gen- tleman, a scholar, a man of the world, a diplomat and a good fellow. ‘As such we salute him, and wish him a long and happy life. NAT C, COODWIN Born July 25, 1857 Mr. Goodwin is one of our notable actors. He made his début with Stuart Robson in 1873, and since that eventful date he has starred in scores of plays, to the immense pleasure of the American public We congratulate him upon his achieve- ments as an actor and a husband * LAPS MAXFIELD PARRISH Born July 25, 1870 After the lapse of several centuries it has remained for an American artist. to create in color the Arabian Nights. Mr. Parrish has done this so well that we take off our hats to him. He has all the quali- lies necessary for a great artist: imagina- tion, mastery of color and infinite capacity for taking pains. He has never done any- thing that not. supremely good Mr. Parrish, it gives us pleasure to felici- late you upon your gifts and to hope that you may long be spared as an example of a conscientious workman of the highest type. GEORGE B, COURTELYOU Born July 26, 1862 Mr. Cortelyou began his carcer as a reporter, which seems, by the way, to be oftentimes a surer method of arriving at distinction than going through ft ard College. Mr. Cortelyou was stenographer to President McKinley, first Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Postmaster-General and Secretary of the Treasury. He has also been chairman of the Republican National Committee. Mr. Cortelyou, we are inclined to believe, in spite of everything to the contrary, that you are an able man. You did the best you could for us during the panic, actually visiting and remonstrating with Wall Street, Since then you have comported yourself with as much dignity as possible. You belong to the Republi. can party, it is true, but we once voted for a Republican Presi- dent_ ourselves On the whole we admire you. May you continue to merit our approval. Cope. Pach Bros. JOHN DUSTIN ARCHBOLD Born July 26, 1648 Mr. Archbold has been a petroleum magnate almost ever since petroleum magnates have been in existence. He has earned that if truth is not always. at the bottom of an oil well large quantities of money can be obtained there. In 1864 he first went to the oil regions, became presi- dent of a large oil company, and, having met John D. Rockefeller, associated with him in the oil industry. He has been con- nected with the Standard Oil Company since 1875, and at last accounts “was its vice-president. We have read, sir, several of your al- luring circulars in defense of the Standard Cope, Pach Brox Oil Company. They have admirable plots, a smooth finish, and a fitting climax, As to whether they are a work of fiction or of science we leave posterity to deter- mine. Our present business is to congratulate you upon your birthday. This we do with a becoming sense of the benefits you have conferred upon us, and in the hope that you will long continue to be a prominent citizen The Managers to the Rabbis COMMITTEE reported to the Central Conference of American Rabbis lately in session in Michigan that it had been assured by the New York Managers’ Associa- tion that the M “with the lam- pagers have no sympathy “ v pooning of the Jew on the stage. Lampooning is not done on the stage, but except for that we guess the Rabbis can confide in the Managers’ de- position. It is not disclosed whether the Rabbis are aware from what renowned race of men it is that the New York Managers are chiefly recruited. comicbooks.com d
