who were Of great influence IN the bank
ing and financial world. Roscoe Conk-
ling, who at that time was just begin
ming his career as United States senator,
was a warm friend of the young mans,
and used' frequently to say TO him that
there was no more important relation
between politics and business than that
which the bankers of Wall street con-
trolled- Francis Herman, who was a
senator from, New. York also, was much
interested N this Young man, and used
sometimes to say'that the opportunities
offered for career as finGncier were
far more tempting than any Of the al
luremerts of politics. Ar. Olcott spent
some twelve years on Wall street. learn
ing the methods of that great insncial
whirlpool.
To his surprise he was offered the ap
pointment of comptroller of New York
state by Governor Lucius Robinson. t.
be comptroller of New Y ork is practi
cally to be tae banker of the state.
When Dir. Olcott became comptrolle1
he realized the'very great political ac
vantage which he held in that position
and when the politicians of his part,
said 10 him I'VE will now nominate yo
for governor" the temptation YVES YER
great TO listen to SUCH propo 5ition. Bu
Mr.. Olcotr had already received Pre-
poSalS from men VINO controlled vas
amounts of money to return to Wal,
street as the head of a banking institu
ton, and after good deal Of dehbera
ton he decided that the rewards of {
financial career We're far more tempting
than those OF politics. He therefore
went to Wall street about ten years ago.
and he became known as the man who did
not desire to destroy properties. but t.
preserve them. In that capacity he took
rank with Mir. Pierpont Morgan, who is
generally regarded us the greatest finall-
cial and constructive genius that Wall
street has known IN the present genera
non. Oicott is esteemed a more auda-
clous and risky man than Morgan, and
come of those who have found fault
with his methods have insisted that
some day he might go too far and entail
ruin upon himself and the properties
which ne undertakes TO preserve.
Like most of the men on Wall street
who accomplish great things. Mr.. Olcott
is a good liver. lie likes the good things
OF life. BE Is fond Of a fast horse. he
enjoys tpe taeaJer, and he thinks thst
perhaps the highest art is Ihat Of perfect
cooking. &c looks Ike a man WHO
lives well.
Within the past wear Mr.. Olcott has
financed properties amounting to nearly
half billion of dollars. OF an amount
more than the national debt, and Of
course the man who Is able to DO what
he has donein the money world is recog-
nized by the men who control millions
IS a person of great financial genius.

An Earlr settlement in western Neu Work.,

In March, 1910, Enos Stone, of Lenox,
Mass, having inherited from his father
$50 acres of land on the east side of the
Genesee river, settled on his property, hav-
ing brought his wife the entire distance,
the most of it wilderness, on an OK sled
Two months later son was born to him
in a cabin he had erected on a previous
visit TO his possessions. The child was the
first white child born in what is now Mon
roe county. He was named James Stod-
dard. He became one of the builders up
of the city of Rochester. and died at Char
lotte, in his eighty-second year. The
cabin in which he was born was made of
planks hewed with an ak by his father,
and it was the first house ever built in
what is now Rochester.
The year James Stoddard Stone was
born his father raised the first wheat crop
in Monroe county, and sledded 1t to Bata-
via on the same sled that had carried his
wife from LenoX. 1t was ground at Bata-
via and made ten barrels of -four. AS he
could not dispose Of it for cash at home he
put it on the old sled and took it all the
way 10 LenoN and sold it. That was the
first shipment OF -four from that region
which Is now famous for that commodity.
James Stoddard Stone lived in the house
where he died for nearly sixty years.
