(ASTRANGE FRE

THAT EXISTING BETWEEN AUSTRIA’S EMPEROR AND MME. SCHATT

EN DSifli

\ Psychological Mystery in the Intimacy

Existing Between the “mperor and Francis Joseph—The Emperor visite Her Daily at Her Cottage,

One of the strangest court romances of

the nineteenth century is holding the rapt attention of the 28,000,000 subiects of thé Austro-Hungarian Empir ii tory concerns Emperor Francis Joseph and his attentions to the beautiful Mme. Schra

an actress who a few years ago played in Thalia theatre in the Bowery with only indifferent saecess. Mme att is not the Emperor’s favorite, but his confi dante and adviser both in matters political and relating to the court It is even said

the

Sehri

} oniy

that she exercises such sway over His Majesty that her influence can be traced in the settlement of the gravest public

questions. It is needless to say that the Emperor appears frequently at the Im

perial Theatre in Vienna, and he also al most daily visits Mme. Schratt at her cot tage.

When, about twelve years ago, Cath

arine although actress,

Schratt appeared in the Bowery billed as the leading Vienna did not arouse great en thusiasm, but she was regarded as a fas cinating little woman whose pleasant smile and winning ways stood her in good stead in the lighter comedy parts.

Her beauty was of the pronounced Vien nese type Bonny a wealth of light-brown hair and an aristocratic figure were her important charms. She was then about twenty-eight years of ace.

jut nowadays in Austro-Hungary if one speaks of the first lady of the country,

she

blue eyes,

or, as they call it over there, of the “Hohe rau,’ none other is meant but Mme. Catharine Schratt. At the time of her

engagementin New York Mme. Schratt was the wife of Herr Von Kisz, whose for tunes were on the waneand whose estates in Hungary had dyindled to next to nothing.

Herr Von Kisz is only to-day. He is said to live in the South of France, and a bright boy, now about four teen, the fruit of his marriage with the actress, is being brought up under his name in the Theresianum, one of the aris- tocratic institutions in Vienna.

In Vienna Mme. Schratt reappeared at

a remembranc:

the Imperial Berg Theatre, which corres ponds to the Comedie Francaise in Paris. The Emperor, who is a regular first

nighter, saw Mme. Schratt’s performan- cec:, and when his visits to the theatre be than usual the

voOssiDS

care more frequen began to draw their conclusions. But nothing occurred in the outside life of the Emperor Which would justify any mali cious reports. When the Emperor first met the actress personally is not known. But itis said that this event took place soon after Mme. Schratt returned from America and applied foran audience at the court to thank His Majesty for the leave of absence Which he had graciously ac corded her.

Even at that time a number of court satellites, anxious to grasp any opportnn ity, and aware of the gossip that was abroad, began to swarm around the act- ress, and at balls and receptions she was constantly surrounded by court officers and even members of the Imperial Cabinet

To the public at large the fact of a per- sonal acquaintance between the Emperor and the actress remained a deep secret. It was only after the death of Prince Ru- dolph that matters assumed an entirely different aspect. That this historical tragedy was a terrible blow to the Emper or Francis Joseph and his wife, who idol- ized her son, may well be imagined. The Emperor never recovered from the shock, and from a man in the prime and vigor of life he suddenly turned into a senile old man.

Tothe astonishment of all, he sought consolation in the society of none other than Mme. Schratt. The actress was re peatedly invited to the table of the Emper- or at the Imperial castle in Ischl, an hon- or never before bestowed upon any other artist in the world. But the populace stood inamazement when it was rumored that not only the Emperor but also the Empress had chosen the actress Mme. Schratt, as consolerand adviser. The Em- press always had a reputation for extreme haughtiness, and was the only member of the royal family who never courted popu- larity.

Yet to-day, nato see the

it is a common sight in Vie; Empress Elizabeth driving out in a open carriage with Mn:e. Schratt. Mme. Schratt often calls at the Imperial mansion to cheer Her Majesty, who is sub ject to attacks of melancholia, and no one so admirably succeeds in dispersing the clouds from the Empress’s mind. The Em press never misses a public opportunity to show her respect for her

The purely platonic relations between the Emperor and the actress are explained by the most absurd theories, one of which has it that Mme. Schratt is the legitimate offspring of the monarch. It is apparent that Emperor Francis Joseph takes no trouble to conceal his almost paternal af fection for the young woman. He may be seen almost any day, in fair weather or foul, at about noontime, walking from the Imperial castle to the cottage of the actress, a distance of five miles. Hundreds of his subjects watch His Majesty on his way there, and he answers their respectful salutations with his wonted serenity

She has never attempted to make the slightest use of the strange opportunities which fate has given her. Thi« is the psychological mysteries of the During the long years of this courtship except a few presents,

one of case, Im periai such as

one friend might give to another, she has never been known to accept the slightest material tokens from His Ma-

jesty.

Mme. Schratt lives on the salary which she receives from the Imperial Berg Theatre, which is by no means a small one, amounting to 40,000 florins, equal to $16,000 of American money.
