parties. Among the distinguished people who traveled in my care were
Stanley, the African explorer; President Cleveland; President Harrison;
Adelina Patti, the noted singer of the world at that time; Booth and
Barrett; Modjeski and Paderewski. I also had charge of the car for
Princess Eulalie of Spain, when she was the guest of Chicago during the
World's Fair.

In 1894 I set sail from Vancouver on the Empress of China with Mr. and
Mrs. Nathan A. Baldwin for Japan, visiting the Cherry Blossom Festival
at Tokio.

In 1897 Mr. Arthur Stillwell, at that time president of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gould Railroad, gave me charge of his magnificent $20,000
private car. I remained with him seventeen months when the road went
into the hands of receivers, and the car was sold to John W. Gates
syndicate. However, I had charge of the car under the new management
until 1907, since which time I have been employed as chef of the
subsidiary companies of the United States Steel Corporation in Chicago.
