Former Crown Princess of Austria
Deserted by Her Husband.
A dispatch from Vienna last week
contained the information that the
Crown Princess Stephanie Of Austria
was separated from her husband,
Count De Lonyay- He was said to
have left his wife and given no in
IicatiOn Of his whereabouts.
Just what the cause OF the rupture
is no one knows, but it is not a hard
puzzle to solve. The Crown Princess
Is the widow Of Archduke Rudolph
and a daughter Of King Leopold Of
Belgium. The latter bitterly opposed
her second marriage Although Count
De LOnyOy was a diplomat of high
standing, the King maintained the
match was not a proper one
Her marriage resulted in a complete
breach between the King and herself
He refused to speak to her OF to com
municate with her in any manner
The Countess denies in the most en-
phatic manner that her husband has
left her. She teIegraphed TO the

opinion seems TO be that Kociau is not
so great as is Kubelik-
A more exact estimate would prob
ably be found in the statement that
KOcian is as great as Kubelik in GER
tain things and different from him in
others Technically. he is the equal Of
his remarkable predecessor-there was
evident in his work that same abso-
lutte and astounding mastery over the
mechanics Of his instrument. the same
unerring accuracy. the same ease and
deZterity that made Kubelik's playing
a thing never TO be forgotten And he
has, If anything. an even greater
beauty Of tOne-his tone being larger
and filler than was that heard from
Kubelik when here last season. And
yet KOcian does not affect his listen
ers as did his fellow countryman.
There is the same difference in the
playing Of the two vioIinists that there
is in their personal appearance and
personality Kubelik had about him a
suggestion Of nervous energy; KOcian
impresses as calm almost to the point
Of the phlegmatic. Kubelix in move
ment was almost awkward: Kocian
has the graceful ease Of a man Of the
