In an American city If a "rube wigon" doesn't roll by eveiy five minutes one expect to Ke nn "ex ira" on tlia street an nouncing a block In traffic.

V1FNNA. July IS. In thla sixtieth jubilee year of Emperor Francis Joseph's reign, when Vienna Is the festival center of Europe and vis its of foreign sovereigns and primes are the order of the day, the Briny of court functionaries from the C'bei :-UurmelBter" or court chamber lain down to the youngest scullery maid In the Imperial kitchen are having a busy time. The kitchen plays R very prominent part especially here in Austria, where eatlne and drinking have long been a fin.- art. For indeed In all culinary matters Vienna has been world re iiowne.i since the day of Maria Thereat. When that great empress look over the imperial palace of Si-Tionhrunn from I'rlnce Eugene of Savoy there were no less than 20 tons of copper cooking utensils In the kitchens. Everything wa.s done on a big scale and the waste of good food was something appalling. No court ohamberlnln's department todav could tolerate the scandals of thr.s.' dnvs. The servants' perquisites were enoVmous. As it was Impossible for lliem. numerous as they were, to consume the leavings from the Imperial table these were sold every day in the basement of the Hofhurg. where the Viennese came Just as to a market. Such scandals and abuses ensued, how ever that In time this custom was abol ished and onlv the officials of the house hold were permitted to buy the remains from the banquets. Some dishes still found their way to private tables through the medium of an old woman who was known as "Schmaua-wabl," a "Viennese expression for a vender of .-.n.ie. Carrying a huge wooden bucket shaped receptacle on her back, the old woman dally made her way into the Hofhurg nl returned with a mls cei'aneous lot of costly viands, which she retailed from a small shop situated within five minutes or mo iib" "Fn:i;a! cltize Stephanie and her danbrter, tho Arch duchess Elisabeth, were living In (ho Hoflmrg. tho cooks had always to pre pare some special dcliotn li s in i akes and sviects for the afternoon Citfftt1,' but these are no longer reimid. . xt Is the great "court" or "f est I . a I" kitchen with its Immense roasting spits and si great stoves of the latest de sign. Here fine menus for gala din ners of 200 guests are prepared and for another 2n0 equerries and gentie-men-in-wnltlng who dine at the so called "Marshall's table." Here ulso the cooking Is done for the court hulls wtvn the guests number from 2.0.00 'to 3.000. Another particularly Interesting kitch en In the "Olio" one. where a speclaliv strengthening soup Is prepared which Is much appreciated towards the end of a court ball as a kind of "hrnceup" for the cotillon. I'usually a couple of hundred quarts are made and. aa the proeees aa well as the Ingredients are some what elaborate. It is easv to seo why a separate kitchen is necessary for it. Here is the recipe, which has never been mado public before but alwavs kept as a secret of the Hofhurg kitchen. Olio soup Take seven pounds of beef and six pounds Of veal and cut them In to small pieces, lay side by side In a deep pan and upon this a tl'.ln latvr nf sliced suet, and upon the top of that four onions cut in slices Over the whole Is poured Just one pint of water. The pan Is placed In the oven and al lowed to stand for two hours. Then the pun Is filled half full with water and allowed to boll gently, the scum being taken off continually. After two hours more add half leg of mutton, half a hare or rabbit, two old chickens, two old pa-rtrldges. all cut up. besides ery. parsley roots, cabbage, turnips carrots, also cut in slices Then pan la filled to the brim with water allowed to bojl for five hours. Olio is then finished. It Is put flsll suppers at her l est i u did a capita 1 ?. p-irs a ii i BUCeeed l.er Since tile- who wanted to glv fine a amall cost wer among iomors and the old woman il business. rhe men some ind nobody was aiiowea to as "Schmaua-wani. n there ha been a much stricter supervision over tne leavings from tl,. imperial table. An odd Inci dent brought this about. Walking one dm- through the apartments leading from tle state banqueting hall towards the kitchens the emperor noticed a pe culiar sine!!. Search was made and b.-h'nd. or rather In the folds of a costly M)n d.imisk curtain, were found the fast de avi'ic remains of a fine fat capon ihl.-h had evidently been Bent from table untouched. The lackey who carried it out thought to annex It. and bo as he pnsssd through the apart ment, threw It behind the ciirtala. chance prevented him from fetching it afterwards and It 'was left for his im perial master to discover the trick. That the emperor was frlghtfuly angrv can ensllv h Imagined, and It la a clever footman n..w car, purloin anything be tween the (lining ball and Kiienen. cel nnd (he and The - to oool so that all the fRt forming a crust on the top can be taken off. The soup is then poured through a fine wet nap kin and can he kept for davs until It is used, provided that no salt has been added Scarcely less Interesting are the store rooms where the gold and silver plate and not less precious stores ol porce lain and china services are iealouslv guarded Of the rare and now quite, unobtainable "Alt Wlen" or old Vienna china the Hofhurg his vast stores. There are piles of dishes of all sorts ar.d shapes and mountains of plates, of Inestimable value. And of sliver thero seems to be no end. And then In a spe cially built strong room is knpt the fa mous gold service, used only on great (cessions sueh as the visits of foreign sovereigns ami princes or the marriage of a prominent archduke or duchess. Originally this service was made for ,mi guests, causing much perplexity to the court officials whenever that num ber was exceeded, which happened fre quently. In such cases some of the, old Vienna service was used specially for courses which wrre accompanied with nny sharp sauces not specially good for gold plates. Itut some time ago at a sitting of high personages it was decided to pdd 100 gold plates to the existing .service, of exactly the same pattern and s!ec. Each plate weighs precisely two and a quarter pounds, and costs for the metal alone $400. to which must be added another HO for the making. The goldsmiths' order therefore amounted to $44,000. And besides all this precious store of gold silver and china, there are closets filled with magnificent porcelain and rnetlnn glass for table decoration oii ii arc never used. There are chests and cupboards, too, full of the most beautiful linen embroidered and with costly lace insertions and Intricate designs. .Much of this, too Is never use,!, the emperor Insisting that onlv the simplest white damask cloth with narrow borders be placed upon the state ,.ir:,ng tables. At the great dinner giv en a few days ago In honor of the Ger man kaiser and the German federal princes the table was covered with a cloth over 5 0 yards long all woven In ne piece and embroidered with the Im perial arms For in matters of dec oration as well as In food, Francis Joseph prefers simplicity and rr,ol demanding that everything proeu table. gers. who are nopulaily supposed to worship the golden heifer. - We aklfted Mm grounds of rtucklng ham palace, getting a flno lew of the stone wall which encloses thetu and of the atnhlea, and then urn ikwn a lte street to show Ihrt visitors' L mibm .1 nearest spprencb to a ' iik y se i a per" the CJueen Anne manslonx Tin Chi cago and New York men snlffe, audit I,' nt tlio flisl sight or tliiM l'.'-so.iv siruelure and even the ladv from lien ton wus cuuf.'ht bv me f lulling Indul gently through her spectacles.

A contra, t iv;is s..,.n made whereby Tne Commoner was to be printed on the ( ;.i una :i papers ru mens ouarlmple perfecting press. T"p to this time Mr. Bryan had In sisted on haying all the type set by hand, refusing to let It go "on the ma chine." He also Insisted on superin tending the make-up. In tiie meanwhilo Mr. Mnupin resigned hjs position on the "World-Herald and cme to Lincoln to work regulsrly on the 'Commoner. l!c ing a practical printer he began schem ing to have the paper "machine set." but It took quite a while. First he succeeded in having the editorial para graphs put on the machine and set In S-point. Then he succeeded in getting the "poetry" snd miscellany set In fi and fe-pnint Then came a lucky acci dent Mr. Rrvan was late In getting his editorial copy In one week and in a hurry to superintend the make up and get out of town to fill tl lecture date. "It will take a couple of dais to set it by hand and less than a day to set it on the machine," said Maupin. "All right: set it on iho machine," said Mr. Bryan. The first machine-set issue was In November, nnd the chance struck Mr. Ihiun so faintably that he discarded the 10-point hand-set matter and con tinued under the new arrangement Before the Commoner was a month eld the subscribers began onmpl 1 1 n i ii c; nbout the absence of advertising.

Finally Mr. Bryan de cided to accept a few ad vertlsenient. but made it known that no trust-made,; goods, no iucstlonable medical prepara-:; tions, no stock company scnemes would . be allowed space at any price. The first advertisement accepted was that of a patent preparation advertised as a sub stitute for coffee. This advertiser ha . been represented in t lie columns of tha ' Commoner ever since. In April. 1901. the Commoner wasj cnlartred to 12 races, seven of them having three columns to the page and: five of flieni four columns to the pag. . no lour-ciuumn pages carried tne aa- vertixing. the "Home Department" "-nd humorous department, and the general miscellany. Ily this time the offlcft force had been Increased to some 40 members and t lie circulation had passed, the Sll mil) iniirlf In .Inlv 1902. the nn.1 p-r was Increased to 1 fi pages, which!: sue It has maintained since save when; special issues of 20 and 24 pages have): been demanded by pressure of adver-.-. tising. . : At first several patent medicine were advertised, but Mr. Bryan finally decided to cut tnem, out. It is sale tm sa- that lor every dollar of advertising that has been accepted try trie Com-: moner, ten dollars' worth has been, re fused. The business office force now nurn bers nbout S snd the circulation la well beyond the 200.000 mnrk. Each copy of the Commoner Is wrapped by hand ' separately, the wrappers being printed' on two stencil machines in the office. Nearly one ton of wrapping paper la , reel ulred each week and nn average Of . eight tons of whlto print paper are con s:im"(l each week. V The Commoner force works on th eight-'iiour basis, with Saturday after-; noons. .'-..TV legal holiday and one "pic nic day" a (tar off Every member of the force gets a week's vacation on full v pay each year and the superintendent; of the. ...of Slew , force setuis unable to no tice jibsenco on account of sickness that Is. so far as the time book Is con-' ren od. but- always manages to ascertain If there is anything the sick one needs. in, January- 2:1 of each year the force celebrates tho anniversary of the pa-,, per s establishment, usually at tho home of William .1 Bryan, or that of hla nrother ( hat'e-s W'. Bryan. These an ni . er--.irtos together with the annual 1 n -tics, are always looked forward XO with treat pleasure. Mr Bryan Is al-M-n s pn s.
