an immense hit that L Immediately had
it published. and at his request gave my
brother manager published copy of the
song to send to Miss Collins, who was
then in London playing two or three
music halls night for &6 or IS per
week So instantaneous and great a hit
did she make of it that her very next
weeks salary was multiplied by 10, 50
that instead of receiving $40 - week, she
was in receipt of $500. 1t would seem she
ought TO have been satisfied with this sue
cess, and somewhat grateful to me. who
had contributed so largely to it, but she
wasn't t. There being no international
copyright law between this country and
Great Britain in 1891, she, with acute bus
mess sense. had the words changed just
a trifie. and claimed it her own COM
position. For about two weeks Miss Col
Inns had her fling, but then Miss Flora
Moore began singing it, and invited all
other music hall singers to do the same.
Then everybody took a hand in claim
ing the authorship, but the courts finally
declared me to be the author and com
poser.
To sum the whole matter up, Tara

first time in July, 1891, al Lincoln, Neb-
