Whenever l tried to inform the people of
America of my success, socially and
morally, abroad, and to comfort them with
the knowledge that ] was well, there seemed
\ to be an organized effort on the part of the
NDress to keep the people in the dark regard
Ting me. OF course they were very kind on
the other hand, about suppressing some
things which did not care to have printed,
out we public men would like to utilize the

miss note every little while. He said he
went out with George Floyd once, on a tug,
to meet the base ball team, and the waves
were so choppy that he cast a gloom over
the reception and the sight of a tuba still
made him gag at times. So ] then tried to
get the Linoleumville Triple Plated Silver

on the same day that expected to arrive
I then made terms with a band which I lays
on the Staten Island ferry during the sum
mer months, generally playing the tunes
between New York and st. George, and
passing the hat six times. They said they
would come. l might have known by that,
they would not do so.
l now proceeded to arrange for a tug. l
could not get regular tug, because they
