"What do men born iu New 1crk
Citv do in the way OF business or pro-
fession?"
THIS was the rather surprising ques=
ton asked by one OF that Lost OF Ne"
Workers. born elsewhere.
He explained, somewhat; Il
For a purpose not related at all to
this subject was looking through q
lot Of books found on the shelves OF
new spaper library giving brief
sketches Of the lives OF prominent
New Workers. and gradually 1t
dawned upon me that most prom,
nent New Workers. were born almost
anywhere but in this city. !
This conclusion was challenged, ana
the investigator proceeded to testify
from notes. He had list OF probes.
sions and business callings arranged
in alphabetical order, and under each
| head q list of names Of men prominent
| in the designated calling, With mem
! orandum of their birthplace added.

New York World, but it made sur
nrisinr exhibit in favor Of his conten-
tion: and even the. comparatively
small part OF the list which copied
at haphazard shows that New 1ork
City's roll of "prominents'' is proof
of the assertion frequently made that
those who come to New York IRON
smaller American towns CT foreign
countries achieve distinctions ID
greater proportion than the native
born against whom they contend.
