Mr.. PETER HERD1c, the great lum.
Der dealer of Williamsport, Pa, has
filed with his petition in bankruptcy q
memorandum, in which he says: "At
the beginning of the present long
tinued depression l estimated chat I
owned real estate to the value of over
$6, ZOO, 900; stocks, bonds and other Sc
curities to the value of over 81, 2OO,-
600. 1t is no exaggeration to estimate
my 10 Loss so on shrinkage in real estate at
$5, ZOO, 900 and my loss on shrinkage in
securities, including stocks and the
like, at $500, 900, and l have lost by the
failures of others the sum of over
81, 2OO, OOO."
The Turks lost about 10000 men
killed and wounded during the recent
war, and, according to the Ipvalidle
Russo, something over 10000, 900 cart
ridges were fired by the Russians,
which would make the proportion of
hits one in every sixty-six shots fired.
AtSpicheren the Russians scored one
Frenchman for every 279 shots; at
Worth, one for 147, and at Colombey-
Nouilly one for ia; 50 that. if the Rus
sian figures are correct, the Russian
soldier is better shot, or more eco
nomical of ammunition than his Ger
man cousin. However, the Russians
employed artillery fire more largely
than usual, and London paper hints
that they may have used the bayonet
after their enemies had surrendered.
A BOOKSELLER of Wurzburg, Ba-
varia, has taken the trouble to collect
newspaper statistics showing the repre-
sentation of distinct Roman Catholic
opinions in the periodical press of the
world. There are in Europe, he says,
IL, $50 periodical publications, of which
/ in IA, or 937 are Catholic in tendency.
In Belgium the largest proportion was
found, it being 154 in $50. Great Brit
ain and France, in spite of being the
one Protestant and the other Catholic,
have precisely the same number. AZ,
although the proportion in Great Brit
ain is AZ in $500, and in France AZ in
1000. In the case of Germany and
Austria the difference between Cath
olic and Protestant country again APP
pears very small. Germany, with the
largest issue of papers in Europe, has
l in IA that is Catholic, while Austria,
with only one-third the issue of Ger
many, has in Ii. In North America
there are more publications than in
Great Britain, France and Germany
together, it having total of $500, of
which 113, or 1 in IS, are Catholic.
South America has IL out of 1000, or
l in SO; Italy, l in Z; Spain, in 8;
Asia, in 375; while Africa and Aus
tralia have none that are Catholic.
