Louis p. McCarty publisher of the
statistician and Economist, has been
in the city today disposing Of what is
left of bis last edition which was pub
lished in SAN Francisco shortly before
the earthquake and fire. n
After, he has closed out the present
edition Mr.. McCarty will abandon the
publication OF the Statistician and
Economist for the reason that all his
files and data were lost during the
fire. or all the things that were
lost during the terrible fire there was
probably no, other loss so completely
irreparable as that suffered by Mr.
McCarty. His library, statistics and
correspondence was the accumulation
of 30 years on the part of the pub
Usher. The Statistician and Economist
was published annually from 1876 to
1892 and since then has been issued
every two years.
In carrying on his work Mr.. Nc
Cartv has had correspondence with
all the nations OF the globe and pre-
Served statistics that were had by no
one else. From the very nature of
things the loss which he suffered
makes It impossible for him to con-
tinue the publication. ST.. De-, ..
After having disposed OF the rem
hants of the present edition, Mr.. Nc
Carly will devote his time to a work
on Egvptology in which he is greatly
interested. AS in the past, he will
continue to reside in San Francisco,
and has faith in the Golden Gate city
In spite of its recent calamity.
n In the opinion Of McCarty, there
will be no more serious earthquakes
in Frisco for many years, and during
that time he says the city will be, re-
built on grandet lines than before.
