2 THE DAILY RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1908. Jg 722 BERLIN As the gardener has informed Mrs. Thackara that the strawberries are ripe, the strawberry party, which we have already announced in the columns of the Daily Record, will take place in the rooms of the American Woman’s Club, Miinchener Strasse 49/50, tomorrow, Thursday, June 25. Aside of strawberries in every from and shape, as the piece de resistance, there will be cakes, icecream, lemonades and sweets served by charming young ladies. But surprises of a less substantial character, although by no means of lesser importance, are in store for the visitors. For instance, a palmist, in Egyptian garb, will tell your fortune, if you stretch out your hand—after having put it deeply into your pocket—and this bewildering beauty will tell you equally bewildering things concerning you and your future. We wonder if one or the other mem ber of the club will be able to recognize in this Egyptian whitch a wellknown lady of the colony hailing from the monument city. Then it is whispered that another belle of the colony will act as a letter-carrier, dressed as such, and will convey messages of love and good-will addressed to ladies and gentlemen present—of course, after having been paid for special stamp. A large grab bag with the most wonderful contents will add to the pleasure of the visitors, giving them a chance to come home with pockets full of nice little re membrances, as a consolation for a more or less empty pocketbook. So a joyful party with good returns for the treasury of the club is expected by all concerned. * It is perhaps not generally known that an Ame rican painter, living in Berlin since about seven years, Miss Haliday, has exhibited this year in the annual art exhibition, in the “Landesausstellungs- park” in Moabit, two pictures representing two of the nine muses, which attract a great deal of atten tion. Miss Haliday, by the way, has not only joined the American Woman’s Club a short while ago, but has contributed to the general expenses of the club, aside from paying in advance a year’s dues, the sum of fifty marks. This is an example which might be imitated by others. walked quietly and safely through the crowd of strikers to his house. Last year the dredger-men at work on the Panama canal threatened to strike, and asked for an immediate answer to their demand. ‘Do you mean that you want an answer before I can inform myself as to the facts?’ asked Taft. Yes, that was what they wanted, or they would at once strike work. ‘Then I prefer to discharge the workers immediately’, was Taft’s reply. The workmen then agreed to wait. Taft was much beloved in the Philippine Islands, where he discharged his difficult task with equal diplomatic skill and human sympathy. On his de parture, his friends presented him with a splendid mat, in which the words ‘A1 Presidente Mr. Taft’ were woven. When one of his friends asked him, how that sounded to him, he answered, smiling, ‘Oh, not half so bad as the word Welcome over a prison door!’ | Eugen Bachmann MeiningerStrasse6,IV.,l. I The following particulars of Mr. Taft, the can didate of the Republican party for the Presidency of the United States, as given by his brother, are published in an American Weekly :—“Bill Taft is of heavy build. He takes his weight to heart, and is always trying to reduce it. An expert told him to take a cold bath every morning; so Bill gets up at 6 o’clock, and by breakfast time is fearfully hungry. It would frighten you to see how much he eats at breakfast. Another expert told him he ought to walk ten miles every day; and whenever Bill can do that, he has a fearful appetite for luncheon. Then he takes another bath, and then with great self-denial, brings himself to eat what lie calls his dog-biscuit, a sort of brown biscuit that he eats while he is at work. Other experts have recommended riding, gymnastics, and active games to take his fat down, and Bill is always doing one or the other of those things. But when meal-time comes, it is not good to be near Bill, so hungry is he. After he has made a mighty meal, he shakes his head, and says: ‘I ought not to eat so much. Tomorrow I’ll begin with strict diet, and eat dog-biscuit for dinner.’ But the next day he eats just as much; yet his weight is always the same, and I really believe he ascribes that to his dog-biscuit.” In his family life Taft is a man of Puritan simplicity. When he began his career as State Attorney in Ohio, he lived in a small house of six rooms. On moonlight nights the gigantic figure of the master of the house might often be seen in the garden walking with philo sophic calm through the grass with a baby on each arm. The father got no rest till the children were asleep. When the Secretary of War was making his tour round the world lately, he and his wife had no servants with them. It happened, when Taft was dressing himself for an audience with the Czar, that a seam in his State uniform trowsers gave way. The Czar waited, wondering why the American Minister did not ap pear. Taft also waited—till his wife had herself made good the damage with needle and thread. Has the Czar ever learnt the true reason why the American Minister was half an hour late ? The American public has at any rate heard the secret. That Taft is not easily overawed, is in keeping with his size. Eight years ago, when he was President of the Federal Court sitting in Ohio, he had to try a case connected with a great railway strike that affected a quarter of a million workmen. The strikers declared, that if their leaders were con victed the Judge would not leave the Court alive. But that threat did not trouble Taft, and he sen tenced the accused to six months imprisonment. After pronouncing that sentence, he turned with flashing eyes to the strikers in Court and, bringing his fist heavily down on the table, thundered out to them: “See here! if it lies in the power of the army of the United States to carry on the railway traffic, the trains will run.” Then he The hippopotamus pair in the Zoological Gar dens are mourning the loss of their second baby. The infant pachyderm’s constitution, though by heredity tropical African, proved unequal to the summer heat of Berlin; he had a sunstroke on Saturday last, and succumbed to it, in spite of the most careful treatment and nursing. CHURCH SERVICES: BERLIN. S. George’s Church, Monbijou Garten. Second Entrance: Oranienburger Strasse 76B. Sundays: 9 a.m. Celebration of Holy Communion. 11 a. m.

The Chaplain: Rev. J. H. Fry, M. A, Savigny Platz 7, Charlottenburg. Hofrat Barnay, who has returned to resume his duties as manager of the Royal Schauspielhaus, will begin rehearsing Albert Lindner’s Bluthochzeit. Moser’s amusing comedy, Der Bibliothekar, will be revived. New pieces will be reserved for the autumn. * Kammersanger Hermann Gura, the chief stage manager of the Hoftheater at Schwerin, has concluded a contract with the Intendant-General of the Berlin Court theatre, to manage the New Royal Opera (Kroll theatre) in July and August. Herr Gura will open the summer season on July 1 with Wagner’s Lohengrin. * Fraulein Meta Illing, who intends to establish a permanent English theatre in Berlin, is now in England for the purpose of making contracts with authors and actors. Fraulein Illing admits that it will be difficult to carry out her project and to make it pay; but she hopes and believes that she will be able, next Spring, to produce modern plays by English and American authors with an English company in Berlin. Kaiser Wilhelm and the whole Court of Berlin take a lively interest in the scheme. * Miss Geraldine Farrar has been engaged by Director Dippel for six months at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. * Dr. Richard Strauss on his new work. Dr. Richard Strauss has informed a representative of the Monde Artiste that he will not have finished the score of his new opera “Electra” before the end of September. The work will be brought out, not in Berlin but at the Royal Opera in Dresden, and shortly afterwards at'Munich. Dr. Strauss will superintend the rehearsals and conduct the first performance in both places. At the Grand Opera in Paris, where the work is to be produced next year, the composer has promised the Directors, MM. Messager and Broussan, to assist in the re hearsals. It is a one-act opera with nine scenes, as the Hofmannstal original is. In setting the latter to music, the composer has almost exactly followed the text, making only a few abbreviations The opera will take just the same time to perform as “Salome”; it contains four principal parts: Electra, soprand; the King, mezzo-soprano; Orestes, bari tone; and Aegistheus, tenor. * The Paris Grand Prix appears to have lost something of its attractions this year, if the amount paid for entrance fees and the betting-ring returns may be taken as indications. The former total this year was 337,915 francs, compared with 346,255 francs last year; while the turnover in the betting- ring was 4,415,840 francs against 4,721,105 in 1907. Looking at the large field that started for the Grand Prix of 300,000 francs, the decline of the betting for that race alone by nearly 200,000 francs must be regarded as a sign that the rage for bett ing has somewhat cooled down. * The Schiffbau Ausstellung becomes more and more crowded with visitors. The Kaiser’s exhibition, in which the silver models show most effectively the development of yachting in Germany, and the models of war-ships exhibited by the Navy Depart ment, are great attractions. A comparison of the model of the sailing corvette “Amazone,” 355 tons, built in 1843, with the battleships “Preussen” and “Deutschland,” built in 1902 and 1903 and of 13,200 and 13,250 tons respectively, gives a good idea of the growth of the German Navy, and it should be borne in mind that the ships now being laid down exceed 20,000 tons. * The XI. Congress of the North American Skat Union has just been held at New York— from the 21st to the 23rd instant. More than 4,000 skat players took part in it. There were three prizes: of 5,000, 2,500, and 1,500 dollars respectively. American Church, Motz Strasse 6. Nollendorf Platz. Sundays: 11.39 a.m. Regular Service. 4.0 p.m. Song Service.
