Chicago, 16.--Freddia Gebhardt de.
parted Vta the Chicago and Alton yester.
day for st. Louia, attended By his sery-
ant.
A reporter interviewing Patti describes
her ss retaining the bloom of youth, q
buoys1t and pretty, ViYacioas aid
pleasantly conversational woman, whom
it ia pleasure to meet. Her face is omen
and candid and her great dark eyes speak
Of her discrimination and irmness of
character. She told very many interesting
things of her struggles, and alluded not
at all pleasantly TO her brother-in law,
Strsllosch. This, she said, is my twenty
fourth year on, the stage, but you see [
am IS young in feelings, as I vas at Is,
II will De my twenty third year in Lon
don. In 1859 l appeared first in New
York, and IN 1851 10 London, where I
have regularly appeared until 'S2. This
year shall take my farewell of the Lon
don stage, so far SIS opera is concerned. II
don't approve of singing in summer. II
want the summer to myself. NV fare
well in opera will not prevent my singing
in oratorio and in concerts in winter,
which l shall continue to do I want to

Apropos of Madrid, Nine. Patti said
" preferred coming to America at this
time, rsther thaR the later, when my
voice might be passe. So far as the
salary is concerned was offered nearly
as much as am paid for an engagement
IN Madrid. They offered me a four
months engagement to sing two evenings
2 week, a house valued at $40, 600 and |
s4OO per night. But / came here, for I |
like the American people. and they have
always accorded me a kindly place in |
heir hearts" Here the conversation |
turned upon artists, 81 never spoke lily of |
any artist in my life, "said the cantatrice, |
and never criticised any to aireporter, |
.hough l have been reported as having |
lone So" The reporter remarked that |
t was reported that Cory had lost her
voice, and was now happily married. |
'Ah," said the lady with sigh. 'She is
fortunate woman. II is indeed too bad |
hat she should lose her voice, but il was
better for her to lose her voice and then
get married, than get married before she |
hould have lost her voice, and have her
spend her money. / have had
ny own sad experience. No one knows
ny oE trials and troubles better than
myself. l have had my own marital
Misery and struggle. l married the Mar
luis virtually to get rid of him. He not
lone abused me, but took all my earn
ngs, half my estate when l left him. l
ave no respect fer men who marry
myers while they are in success. Oh,
hey simply hang on to them to live on

he use of talking about that? My
roubles with Strskosch, too, we're great
nd hard to bear. My father used to say:
For Gods sake, get your money; that
trakosch would pay go and play I'll
AXE care Of you. He claimed though
hat he educated me. It's false. Ny
Berili, taught me the read
Il and arithmetic OF music, Aided by
~ father. Strakosch taught me few
lings, but never the rudiments of music.
trakosch has made my sister very I'M
Apply. Fortunately, their daughter has
ut them and married q lawyer; not a
cry bright one. but at all events she is
appy, which is great deal. Madame
stIi said she did not know Mrs. Lang
y, and hence had no opinion to express
her, and had never given one to q
sporter.
Mapleson, in an interview, says he has
cen forty-four years in The opera busi- .
ess, and that he always kept faith to the
1blic; otherwise he could never have
lcceeded. The criticisms made on him
re unjust. He has in his company all
lie great dramatic singers in the world,
we Gerster and Nilsson. Madame
ilsson has made good and valid con-
act to Mr.. Gye. to sing whenever he
sy direct in this country, from October
1873 to April 1884. Delpuentes' con-
act was signed long before with me for
e next two years. BE had some short
marks to make about Abbey's style Of
anagement. He considered him a
pyist, without art or musical sympe-
y, He says he pays Patti $4,000
ght, and Alboni $4,000 night.
