NOTE

THE editor begs leave to inform the public that only persons who can
produce proper evidence of their demise will be admitted to Who Was Who.
Press Agent notices or complimentary comments are absolutely excluded,
and those offering to pay for the insertion of names will be prosecuted.
As persons become eligible they will be included without solicitation,
while the pages will be expurgated of others should good luck warrant.

Who Was Who contains over 500 biographies of those who did or endeavored
to become famous. In a work of such magnitude errors occasionally occur.
Should this be the case, the editor will be glad to receive corrections
from the ex-celebrities or their enemies. These will be accepted gratis.
Proofs will be sent to all subscribers. Members of the family will be
able to order the coming editions in advance by applying and remitting
to the publisher.

The work is fully protected by the libel laws of the United States and
Great Britain. Under no circumstance will duels be fought.

The editor wishes to express his thanks to those who have furnished
material for this book. He also trusts they will show their good feeling
by purchasing a copy, and that all the unfortunates will speedily be
returned to Who's Who.

THE EDITOR.
