IN THE AUSTRIAN KAISER'S KITCHEN Selling
Off Left-Over Food From State Banquets to Court Officials
Fly James Spencer.
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

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.

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

chests and cupboards, too, full of the

narrow borders be placed upon the state

"office force' was burled from sight
under an .avalanche of letters contain

T"p to this time Mr. Bryan had In
sisted on haying all the type set by

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

succeeded in having the editorial para

"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.

the pressure of tho advertising agents
became terrific. 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. M at these affairs snd Is, of
i.e-ise, t1;.- Mfi" of the occasion.
