CZAR’S SERVANTS BY GRAFT BECOME WEALTHY - l COOK RETURNS TO THE IMPER IAL PALACE TO MEND HIS BAD LY SHATTERED FORTUNE ROYAL WINES SOLD. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 10.—Fedor Mink, who retired us chef of the :m --perial kitchens In the winter some two or three years ago, la on the Job again. Homesickness for hla pots and pans took such violent hold of him while luxuriating at Monte Car lo and other pleasant resorts, thnt he begged’the exar to be allowed to re sume his former duties. The emperor, who prefers Fedor’s rooking to any other, “graciously consented,” and so the erstwhile Croesus once more rules the subterroanean regions of the Im perial family's winter quarters. The first time Fedor retired from •- the exar’a kitchen, he was rated a millionaire. Half of his accumulated money he Is said tq . have spent. Knowing ones smile, being confident that Fedor will manage to mend hla shattered fortune in quick order. For the Imperial kitchens are the grafter’s paradise, and the exar’a chef Is generally credited with making more “easy money” than a commis sary general nr The governor nt a province. / west Ons Banquet Yields Cook.

With this money he is supposed to buy the raw mater ials In Pails and other markets. Among 500 imperial guests the>*e are not more than 30 or 35, lucludlng the imperial family, of real conse quence. These 35 get the best of everything, champagnes of exquisite vintage, game, meats. Ices of the very finest quality. But the Initiated among the rest of the guests take good care to eat a hearty meal before they sit down at. the Imperial bonrd. The champagne served is mostly “fake,” while the game and meats are always of scanty and Inferior quality. Ba sides the serving is done In such rap id order that few guests have an op portunity to taste of one course be fore the plate Is removed, and another one, with contents equally poor and paltry, are put before him. 9ella Czar’a Wines and Victuals. It la an open secret shat one can dine best in certain St. Petersburg I families during the period of state banquets. The good things of which the emperor’s guests are robbed read ily find their way into the larders of outsiders, who pay the chef about 10 to 20 per cent of the cost price of game, meats and Imported delicacies. 1 As to wines stolen from the imperial cellars, they are sold at any old price. Some time ago Emperor Nicholas hud an economic turn and examined Into the household accounts, submit ted for.his signature, a thing he had never done before. The Item: One hundred pounds of tallow candles per week struck him peculiar. Why on earth so many tallow candles? The minister of the imperial house was or dered to Investigate. And the result of days and weeks of Inquiry, of overhauling budgets and poring over archives? Several yeara i before the French revolution the gn at t'atha rlne expo Hen red a heavy_cql <U_ [ A serving maid advised her to uso a j peasant's remedy, namely, to encase her nose over night In a hood made >f a tallow dip \ But iu the. paluc . onl> were to be had. 8o CaiharUu: order. 4 that a quantity of the tallow dins shorrid be from th% nearegf OL vnrmu*si ttua\o\™%«oMuot *vi.

The cook, seeing his oppor tunity, put In a bill for 100 poundH of tallow’ caudles, and, somehow or other, the swindle escaped the great em press. And 100 pounds of tallow candles per week has figured In thei Imperial household budget ever since, for li7 or more years. Everybody In the Palace Grafts. There are other grafters besides lho Imperial chef; lots of them. Some time ago a collector of bric-a-brac, re turning from a professional call at the exar’a summer residence, happened to drop iu at an antique store In the village, where he saw, among other rarities, a porcelain- meat platter, bearing the Imperial Initials under a crown. The dealer let him have it for about one-twentieth part of Its value, adding: *T am able to supply a great variety of these articles—dishes, glasses, vases, enameled things etc.” The ?ol lector accepted the offer, and after a while sent the things bought to i Nicholas, explaining that he had something special to offer. "Why," cried the exar, “all of these | things are my property. Where old i you get them?” i At present Imperial secretaries are busy In all of the emperor s palaces making Inventories. Every article, big and small, not made fast to the wall with bands of iron, will be tick eted, and woe to purlolners, If caught, PRESIDENT TO ADDRESS. CONGRESS OF MOTHERS WASHINGTON?
