Editor of the Record Herald
| attended the fourth annual meet
ing of the American National Red
Cross, held here yesterday. as one of
the incorporators of the society, which
was created in its present permanent
form by Act of Congress in 1900. a
luncheon was given by Asst Secretary
of War Bacon to the delegates and in
corporators and in the evening d re-
ception by Miss Mabel Boardman in
honor of the president of the Society,
Hon. William I'll. Taft, and of Mrs.
Taft. Mrs Pradt and | were guests
at this function, which was an eX-
ceedingly brilliant affair, with floral
decorations that | could only misde
scribe. l refer to this event in no
spirit of sinful pride. but only for the
purpose of telling the readers of the
Record Herald how Mr.. and Mrs. Taft
appear and bear themselves in this
nour of comfort and joy Well Mr..
Taft has smile That seems to body
forth the deep content and compla-
cency of the cat that has swallowed
the canary and Of the golfer who has
holed out in one stroke. 1t does one
good to contemplate a countenance so
full of radiant good humor and COM
plete happiness -emphasized as 1t was
by the rotund eXpanse of his white
waistcoat beneath. Just after we had
been presented to him, gentleman
followed who was nearly twice as big
as Mr. Taft, who introduced him to
Mrs. Taft as DIR. Marshall of Delaware
''although he looks TOO big to get into
Delaware.' There were three or four
men present of the same size as Mr..
Taft or larger and as they had q re-
semblance to him in other respects it
seemed as though there were several
"Richmonds in the field" But there
were not. None of these men had
the compact, well proportioned body
of Mr. Taft, but were big and heavy
and very portly-which latter he is
not. One of them was Gov. Magoon,
recently returned from Cuba. |

years ago when he was in the War De-
partment and have followed his career
with interest since then. ! had q
talk with him the other morning as
he was crossing Jackson Park, 'front.'
ing the White house, in which he told
me that the recent election in Cuba
was carried on in such q fair and
orderly manner and with SO much
genuine earnestness and patriotism as
to make it a model for US in any part
of this country. He thinks the pros
poets for the ultimate success of the
Cuban Republic are very bright. To
which | will add that much Of the
credit for it is due to his wise, firm
and tactful administration of affairs
in Cuba since his appointment as its
Provisional Governor.
To return to the Taft reception
Mrs. Taft is in every way as attractive
as her husband and looked equally
happy. On rejection it would seem
that they haYe abundant cause to feel
and show that emotion.

SERVICES
At OAHU PRISON

Many eheer-inspiring services have
been held. under the direction of Mr..
John NJ. Martin, in Oahu Penitentiary,
but none of them surpassed the one
on Christmas Day. The little ones
from the Susannah Wesley Home took
the most prominent part in the exer-
eises, which included Scripture recita-
tions, readings, songs and flag drill.
Suitable addresses were made by Miss
Yarrow, Mr.. Martin and Rev. John W..
Wadman, all of whom brought mes
sages of good cheer for Christmas Day.
The little poem which appeared in
the Christmas Advertiser, entitled
''Though We Haven't Got Ice and
Snow" was read by Mrs. Wadman,
who also presided at the organ.
At the close, the children of the Su-
sannah Wesley Home distributed APP
pies and candies among the inmates,
and after song by the o. p. Quartet
and beautiful hymn by number of
girls from the Kaiulani Home, gen.
eral handshaking ensued and wishes
for a merry Christmas were freely and
heartily exchanged. An excellent din
ner was served the inmates, through
the kindness of the High Sheriff,
whose interest in the welfare of the
people placed in his care Is always
very great.
Father Valentin held services earlier
in the day.

The bluest blood in Europe, the
Oldest European family, is the great

from one powerful prince to another
clear back to Julian the Apostate.
No royal family of Europe equals
this. The Romans of Burgundy, the
descendants of the old Burgundian
kings, alone approach it.

family than the kaiser's or King Ed
