DIFFERENT CREEDs IN ROME
Some Very Interesting Statistics Of the
Eternal City.

Some very interesting STATISTICS OF the
Eternal City.
A very interesting chapter of the last
Italian census is that which contains
the religious statistics of Rome. The
total population of the Eternal City
says the London Tablet, is given as
442,7S3, and about tenth of these is
made up of foreigners residing here;
the population has doubled in the last
80 years. The number of Catholics in
Rome is given as 422,494, or 95.5 per
cent Of the whole. The Jews come
next, longo intervallo, for the number
according to the official returns is only

pie" Their numbers do not seem to
have varied much during the last cen,
tury, as we find that in 1871 they rep.
resented about 2 per cent of the entire
population, in 1862 20 per cent, and
in 1882 3.33 per cent.
The number of Protestants is 5,993,
or IL per cent. Thirty years ago they
numbered about 1000. They have in
creased only so per- cent, while the
whole population has increased 100
per cent. 1t S quite certain that teh
great mass of these 5000 Protestants
belong to the $4,000 foreigners who
happened to be in Rome at the time of
the census; a considerable portion OF
them is furnished by the Waldensian
colony in Rome. 1t is pity that we

There were in Rome at the time of
the census 312 Greek schismatics, all
of them foreigners, and 3S individuals
who belonged to other religions. The
number of persons who declared that
they belonged to no religion was 1852,
and most of these are affiliated to
the socialist and anarchist parties, and
to the Freemasons. BY the way, 1t is
worth noting that in Rome socialism

Freemasonry as it is to "clericalism." +"
There were 5,213 persons who refused
to make any declaration as to their
religious beliefs-among them, very
probably being the thousand Jews

theory that Mrs. Chadwick could not

of the government was that she had

She had procured their certification

to the time of asking that the checks

became clear to me that the will was
signed after the lady's death and then
with a dry pen held in the hand Of the
deceased by the accused himself while
he guided it over signature which he
had craftily forged. A woman was
present when this was done, and as
she had attested the execution Of the
will she was necessary witness for
the prisoner, and in examination in

was by the hand of the deceased that
the will was signed and that she her.
