2 THE DAILY RECORD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1908. No.'865. ^ m (■■■■■■■■■■■I BERLIN In honour of Professor Felix Adler, the Columbia “exchange” professor, and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Ollesheimer entertained on Saturday night at the Hotel Adlon at one of the largest and most brilliant dinners that has been given in the American Colony. Covers were laid for eighty, nearly all the leading American residents, including U.S. Consul- General, and Mrs. Thackara, being present. In de ference to the essentially international character of Professor Adler’s mission to Berlin, the guests in cluded practically as many Germans as Americans. A thoroughly international—German-American -note, in fact, dominated the spirit of the evening. Pro bably the most noted German present was Geheim- rat Wilhelm Foerster, President of the German branch of the Society for Ethical Culture. Professor Foerster, who was formerly well-known as a pro fessor of astronomy, was the instructor of Wil liam II. in this science during the Emperor’s youth. Dinner was served in the “Kaiser Saal” of the Hotel Adlon. The tables were decorated with rose- coloured chrysanthemums and maidenhair fern, the 'chrysanthemums being banked with a profusion of small pink blossoms reminiscent of the American “bleeding heart.” Gold ribbon was twined unob trusively among the flowers. , At the conclusion of the dinner, three or four reception rooms were thrown open, into which the guests dispersed to listen to a musical programme by four young artists, Miss Edna Darch. of San Francisco, Messrs. William and Walter Rummel, and Herr Fiedelmann, a talented boy violinist. All the musicians acquitted themselves admirably. Miss Darch sang an Aria from “Carmen”; “Widmung,” by Schumann; “Ecstasy” by Walter Rummel; the Jewel Song from “Faust,” and “Hinaus,” by Rudolph Ganz. Mr. William Rummel played among other numbers Schumann’s “Traumerei,” and Mr. Walter Rummel a Weber composition hnd selection composed by him self. During the evening, which concluded with danc ing kept up till a late hour, humorous recitations were given by Marie Holgers and Curt Stark. Mr. and Mrs. Ollesheimer will as usual leave Ber lin Shortly before Christmas, to return in January. They will probably go to the Engadine for the holidays. The American Woman’s Club will, as already re ported, give an “open” tea with Christmas tree on the afternoon of Christmas Day. Any American wo man in Berlin may have dinner at the Club on Christmas Day for the sum of 1 mark by announcing herself to the Directress not later than Dec. 21. Mrs. Leland, of Washington, whose husband is connected with the Carnegie Institution there, ar rived in Berlin last week from Paris and is stay ing at the American Woman’s Club. Professor Le land has been engaged for eighteen months in Paris making reports of the material relating to Canadian and American history. He returned last week to America, but will be back in June to continue his studies in Europe. Mrs. Leland intends during her stay in Berlin to study the violin and German. English and Americans in Berlin and Dresden are likely to acquire the habit of patronising a new winter sport-centre for the Christmas holidays, name ly Tambach, a little village situated in one of the 4 highest, healthiest, and most picturesque parts of Thuringia. Since Miss F. C. Bamford, and Miss Harriet Thomson, both formerly of Berlin, opened their Eng lish Pension, “Villa Chorin,” in Tambach three years ago, the village is becoming recognised in the Ber lin Anglo-American Colony as a delightful summer resort. Miss Bamford and Miss Thompson are now putting energetic efforts into making Tambach’s un doubted attractions as a winter sport centre known. There is a splendid specially reserved tobogganing track, one of the finest and longest in Germany, with just the desirable proportion of tempting curves and gradings. Besides sleighing and skating, ski-ing is likely to become a particularly popular feature of Tambach winter life. The “Rennstieg,” the old Ro man road which is so famous as a ski-ing track, forms one of the boundary roads of Tambach. Miss Nettie Spencer, who was formerly associated with Miss Hunt in the management of the American Woman’s Club, and who has many friends in the American Colony, is leaving to spend Christmas in Austria. Statistics regarding the number of foreigners re gistered in Berlin during November show that 1,010 Americans, 999 English, and 29 Australians came to the capital last month. A “German-American evening” took place last even ing at the “Romischer Hof,” Unter den Linden 79, when George Viereck, a German-American writer of New York, delivered an address on “Cultural re lations between Germany and the United States.” The address was followed by a discussion and an hour or two of general sociability. A humourous example of the Oriental love of superlatives reaches Berlin in a letter from Mr. Carl Kelley, a ( young brother of Professor Stillman-Kelley, the well-known American musician and composer. Mr. Carl Kelley, who is now going round the world as a cadet on one of the American men-of-war, writes to his brother that on reaching Japan, one of the Japanese battleships that went out to meet and lead the American fleet into harbour, sent the following cordial message by wireless:—“We hearti ly wish you a most joyfulistible visit.” AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCE AND TRADE IN BERLIN Berlin W. 8. Friedrich Strasse 59/60. MOST COMPLETE COMMERCIAL READING ROOM in Germany Americans welcome. Geo. S. Atwood, Secretary. MATHEMATICS OF A TRAGEDY. Not content with purveying all the gossip that is passing about Mdme. Steinheil, a correspondent in a Paris contemporary has been employing his mathematical knowledge of “Permutations” to the name of Steinheil, which is capable of 362,880 changes. The correspondent, however, is some 1,800 wide of the mark, making it 364,680. The same writer points out that the name is of German ori gin, and equivalent to “Holy Stone.” Verily, Ovid’s line, “Parva leves capiunt animos,” applies to such perverted ingenuity.

(Continued from page 1.) honourable man acts towards another. The progress which the twenty Latin-Anierican republics have made in that time is worthy of notice, and a.fords per haps the best opportunity for the extension of Ame rican commerce. The Panama canal is being car ried on with exemplary rapidity. The extension of the Ocean-Post Act of 1891, and lines of mail stea mers to South America, the Philippines, and Aus tralasia are recommended; and particular attention is called to Hawaii, as an island of obvious import ance. In Cuba the American occupation will last but two months more. The President acknowledges the reception given to the American fleet in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the South American States; and recommends the building of more battle ships, destroyers, and coal ships. A squadron of eight battleships of the same type should be pro vided as soon as possible. The army is described as too weak in infantry and Artillery. The ca valry requires re-organisation, and special attention should be paid to machine guns. DIPLOMATS IN AUTOMOBILE MISHAP. Washington, December 9. An automobile conveying Senor Barrios, of Guate mala, who is on a special mission here, Senor Her- rarte, the Guatemalan Minister in Washington, and Mr. Drummond, a South American coffee planter, was overturned this morning in a thoroughfare near the city boundary. Senor Barrios sustained concussion of the brain, a fractured skull, and internal in juries, and was conveyed to hospital in a desperate condition. The other occupants of the automobile were also badly hurt, but recovery is hoped for in their cases. THE SITUATION IN HAYTI. The Herald's correspondent at Port-au-Prince tele graphs that a considerable stir has been caused in the Haytian capital by the refusal of f the British Charge d’Affaires, Mr. Murray, to retain the ser vices of the British cruiser “Scylla” and permit the landing of a body of marines to protect the Con sulate. The ground for this refusal, the corres pondent says, is that the United States would dis like any interference by Great Britain. No official confirmation of the above report was forthcoming at the London Foreign Office yester day. “There is no question of the ‘Scylla’ being kept at Port-au-Prince so long as she is needed,” a press representative was informed. Mr. Murray has not referred to the Foreign Office the question of the landing of marines, and presumably no further events have occurred which might necessitate such a step. Most of the advices to hand from Hayti since Saturday morning indicate that Gen. Simon is Strong enough to keep his end up against all-comers. Here tofore he has been playing the disinterested pa triot, whose desire is above all the good of his country, without thought of self. Consequently he has not taken possession of the Presidential palace, as he says it is his duty to wait uiftil the people have expressed their will. On the other hand, no body who knows Simon supposes that he will let anybody else enter the palace, and as several “Pre sidential propositions” are on their way to Port- au-Prince, it is by no means unlikely that there may be a fight for power in and around the capital before the end of this week. Among Simon’s ri vals, says k New York report, the more formidable are Gens. Firmin, Fouchard, and Leconte, all of whom were driven into exile after unsuccessful ef forts to oust Nord Alexis. It is rumoured, indeed, that Leconte and Fouchard have entered into a com pact to combine against Firmin, and, if need be, against Simon as well. Leconte is understood to be in expectation of being placed in the Presiden tial palace without opposition, as Simon is said to have been acting all along in his interests, but this is regarded as very improbable. THE STEINHEIL MYSTERY. Paris, December 8. The Matin declares that the magistrates now have a definite opinion on the Steinheil case. The idea that Mdme. Steinheil is the only culprit, without be ing absolutely rejected, has been relegated to the second place. The belief is more firmly established than ever in the existence of a male accomplice, who put into execution the plan devised by the accused, and, moreover, little doubt is felt as to his identity. The magistrates admit that the crime may not have been committed at the hour indicated by the stopped clock, which was submitted for examination by an expert. The journal points out that M. Stein- heil’s body, when discovered, was not yet rigid, and this would indicate that the crime was com mitted a considerable time after the stopping of the clock. The Matin adds that great hopes are entertained of bringing the truth to light, although some delay may be necessary.
