TALK OF Il SCREW TR UST.
Grilley Company of This City Interested
lin Proposed Consultations.

| In regard. to the report published in
an afternoon paper yesterday, evidently
from a Providence paper, to the effect
that the Grilley company of this city
had Joined a screw trust known as the
National Screw trust, now being organ
lied, General George Fl. Ford, presi-
dent of the Grilley company, said last
night: 1.-THE Grilley company has as
yet made no definite arrangements to
enter any trust, nor has it obligated
itself to join one. A screw trust is be-
ing talked of, but thus far it is merely
under discussion and is merely floating
in the air. | don't suppose that there
Is single industry now in existence
of which there is not talk that it Is
going into a trust. So far as the screw
manufacturing business is concerned a
combination of interests would be
good thing, The screw companies have
made no money during the past few
years on account of the sharp competi-
ton, which has cut down profits No
definite understanding has yet been ar
cannot tell when the trust will be
started"
1t is said that the new trust will be
capitalized at $10,000,O00 and that the
arrangements for consolidation of in
terests now talked of will include four
teen of the largest screw manufacture
ing companies in the country.

| About twenty men answered Captain

noon. They We're tried successfully in
the various positions for which they
aspired, although on account of the
strong wind very little fielding work
was done, The infield candidates,
though, were put through their PAGES
and put in an hour Of good lively prac-

powers. The work, as was expected,
was rather stiff, although many of the
candidates gave promise of playing
good ball later.
A number of the old players did not
put in appearance, but are expected

The u. s. Rubber Trust.

The New York Sun of Sunday In CIV
ing a. history of the great trusts of the
United States, says that the United
States Rubber Trust is now making
felt and kid boots and shoes as we'll
as rubber shoes. In 1897 it controlled
65 per cent. of the country's output in
the lines it was then manufacturing.
The gross income of 1896 was 1882, $685.
for 1897 S2,243, 434, and for 1898, $685.
1924. No dividends were paid on the
common stock in 1S93-94- 9596-9S; in 1895
2k per cent was paid, and in 1897 per
cent. Preferred paid s per cent annu-
ally from 1898 to 1896, in 1897 per cent
and in 1898 s per cent. The Rubber
Goods Manufacturing company, a new
consolidated company, was Incorporate
ed in New Jersey on January rs last
with an authorized capital of $25, 100000

other than boots and shoes. 1t is al

J. Davis, Thomas Russell, Anse l..
White, George S. Dearborn and Camil-
LUIS G.. Kidder. Charles r. Flint is
quoted as saying of this company:
1.-THE policy is not to acquire all the
companies engaged In the manufacture
of rubber goods. but to acquire proper
ties that have demonstrated capacity
to manufacture goods cheaper than
their competitors. BY the combination
of such concerns. and through the Sc
curing of special facilities for obtain
ing crude rubber, it is expected that
the cost of producing rubber goods can
be reduced" The United States Rub
Der company in large part controls the
supply of crude rubber in the country.
Tires are said to be among the goods
the new company will manufacture.

LITCHFIELD WOODCHUCKS.

Last Saturday in Litchfield two dogs
espied a woodchuck in the rear of Wal
lace Newcomb's house and gave chase
to it. The woodchuck ran up the trunk
of an old apple tree that was partly
blown over One dog followed him up
the tree. Out on a branch went the
woodchuck as far as he could go, when
suddenly turning round he faced the
dog. This movement so scared the dog
that he lost his grip and fell out of the
tree. whereupon both dogs stuck their
tails between their legs and ran away.
Two men who were near by watching
the sport then procured some pitchforks
and succeeded in killing the animal.

SOME PRACTICAL QUESTIONS.
Paper Read Before Historical Society BY
j, i, Chairman of New York.

j. j. Chapman of New York.
At the meeting of the New Haver
Colony Historical society last night the
address was delivered by John Jay
| Chapman of New York city. He spoke
on the topic Some Practical CUES.
tons" Mr. Chapman is a brother in
law of William Astor Chandler, the ex-
plorer and traveller, who is now in con-
gress. Mr.. Chapman was graduated
from Harvard in 1884 and his life has
been spent much abroad in literary pur-
suits. His published works show a
brilliant mind, true thinker and an
Independent worker; in fact, cosmo-
politan in opinion and purpose. He
gave last evening a resume of the re-
form movement in New York city,
showing the steady increase Of reform
sentiment. He argued for the utility
of an independent ticket and gave many
illustrations of the same as having oc-
Cured in the recent campaign of Theo-
dore Roosevelt for governor of New
York. In this connection Mr. Chapman
asserted that if Governor Roosevelt had
liOI NItildl a WI lldillC llulll lHt It.
form ticket he could have been elected
by majority of 10000 instead of $4,000.
He said that the election Of Roosevelt
was assured as soon as he was nominal
ed, and that all the work of the cam
paign was done in the committee rooms
before the forces We're in the field The
contest was not over the governorship,
but over the minor offices, and if the
reform ticket, had been carried lot of
good men and not henchmen would
have gone into office. He declared that
the powers of the republican and dem
ocratic parties are at an end and that
what the people want now is the indie
pendent ticket.
A high standard Is necessary to this
end, and some one must set up this
standard. Decide upon. standard that
you regard as right and then have the
courage to live up to it. Ten per cent
of the power is lost by our agreeing to
a makeshift. The age in which you live
is the cause of this. One man cannot
stand alone; he must have some one to
support him and some one to whom he
can look, or else he will fall. 1t is for
you and I to break down the barrier and
let in men and make 1t possible for the
young men of to-day to go through pub
lie life untarnisned.
A vote of thanks was extended to Mr..
Chapman for his able and interesting
paper
A short business meeting was held,
at which a number of changes in the
bylaws with reference to the appoint
ment of committees were adopted, and
The board of directors was empowered
10 appoint the committees. After this
meeting a season of social intercourse
was enjoyed in the reception rooms of
he building.
