WHO ARE THE EIGHT THOUS-

BY w. W. Smith. A. NJ, IL. Do
The second edition CT Who's Who
i'll America lfrom press OF A. N.
Marquis & Co, Cficago) contains 1900
pages Of brief biographies. without eu-
zlogy. criticism or comment, OF such
persons now living in America as have
become noted as factors in the progress
and achievement of the age. 'Endeavor
has been made say the editors, to
include all Americans of more than
local note in all lines of useful effort.
No name is inserted or omitted for
financial considerations: the book is
sold on its merits.
With view to determining what eff
feet education Of the various grades
has had on success in life, effort was
made to ascertain the school training
Of each of these men and women of
more than local note" and 7.85a on their
United States list were thus educa-
tionally classified.
According to the best estimate we
can make from the latest census returns
there are in the United States 4o,78aoo7
persons over 81 years old. These are
divided educationally about as follows:
Class 1, without school train
ing ............,. 4,oS2.49o
Class ?, with only common
school training ;. ....... 32,8o2,o5I
Class 3. with common and
school training ....... 2,I65,357
Class 4, with college or higher
education added s.. ...... I,o7I,2of
Now the question is how many of the
eight thousand distinguished citizens of
the United States on the Who's Who
list came from each Of these classes.

It thus appears:
Ist. That an uneducated child has
one chance in 10000 of attaining dis
tinction as factor in the progress Of
the age.
I'd. That a common school education
will increase his chances nearly four
times.
3rd. That a high school training will
increase the chance of the common |
school boy tsenty-tl1ree times, giving
him eighty seven times the chance Of

''notables' thus gathered, 4.SIo proved
to be full graduates of colleges.
From the nature of the case it can not
be claimed that these figures are exact,
but they are based upon the most re-
liable government statistics and the
necessary estimates have been made
with care. 1t is also doubtless true that
other circumstances contributed to the
success of these college trained men,
but after all reasonable allowances are
made the figures still force the conclu-
sion that the more school training the
child has the greater his chances Of dis
tinction will be. "a

SAINTS COULD NOT ENTER
MORMONS HELD NO MEETING IN THE
CRIMINAL COURT ROOM.
Temple of Justice Was Locked in
Seven Places and the Watch
man was Obdurate.

The semi-annual conference of the Nor
mon Church of Indiana was not opened in
the Criminal Court room last night, as
scheduled by President Francis NJ. Shafer
of the Indiana Conference. According to
programme the opening meeting was to
have been held last night and this after
noon a mass meeting Of Indiana Mormons
of which there are said to be more than
two hundred, was to have been held and
tonight another business session. at which
President Woodruff, of the Northern
States Mission was to have expounded
the doctrines OF the Church of the Latter
Day Saints, had been advertised. The con-
ference scheduled for the Criminal
Court room without the permission of
either Judge Afford. the Board of County
Commissioners, or last, but not least, Of
the custodian Of the building, but, through
the objection of the latter, the programme
was spoiled at the beginning.
Last night about 1880 o'clock one male
Mormon, accompanied by six contempo-
raries in the faith, female Mormons, ap-
peared at the west door of the courthouse
and started to enter the building The
night Waterman stopped him with a re-
quest to know his business in the halls of
justice at that time of the night, and he
answered that meeting of Mormons was
to be held in the Criminal Court room.
The Waterman said that he hadn't heard
of it, and hardly believed there would be a
meeting, as the Criminal Court room was
locked in seven places and the custodian
had told him nothing about unlocking it..
The Mormon expOstulated, but the night
Waterman obdurate and refused to
open up He told the applicant that he
could not violate his orders, and, although
he had no personal interest in the Mormon
Church, he would be glad to accommodate
the gentleman If ii were in his power.
The Mormon became impatient, and 50
did his contemporaries. When their impa-
thence was exhausted they concluded that
there would be no meeting, and left the
building, promising that they would see if
it could not be arranged to-day. 1t Is not
known whether President Shafer has made
other arrangements for the two meetings
to be held to-day, but it is likely that they
will not be held I'm the courthouse, unless
the custodian is given orders to permit it.
