Waterbury Democrat., 1901-08-28

In inside upper republican circles the tip has been passed around with ing the last day or two that Boss Platt had changed his mind about backing Governor OdeIl for the republican presidential nomination. The only req son given is that there has been another misunderstanding between the two men about local politics. 1t is not stated whether Platt will throw the influence of the state republican ma chine to another New York candidate or to some man outside the state, but there seems to be thorough under standing among the republicans that the state machine will be against Roosevelt and that PIatt will not en- certain any proposition for deal to give Roosevelt the machine support. He heartily dislikes Roosevelt, but that of itself would not prevent his enter ing into political deal with him. It is because of the start boom for him, that the republican politicians are cer- tain that PIatt will not dicker with him. But, most interesting of all, is the hint that Governor Odell will fight Platt for the control of the New York republican machine. Such a light would be as welcomeHto the democrats of the state and of the country as was the old-time stalwart and anti-staIwart fight, in which Platt paIyed minor part under the leadership of Roscoe Conkling.

No 1talian Literature for cirls.

What is absolutely wanting to the completion of girls education in Italy is reading. There is no Italian literature for girls, and only the more fortunate, who have studied foreign languages, read at all. As for the poorer classes, this privilege is denied them because books are expensive and circulating libraries unknown. A young lady is allowed to read pretty much what English and American girls read of light literature, provided it is strictly moral.-Marchesa Theodoli, in Ladies' Home Journal.

A DARING YOUNG WOMAN.

Miss Jessie Foote. who lives with her father, Adrian Foote, on Concord street here, climbed the steeple on the Methodist church. Alden street. at 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, distance of 135 feet, and after calmly viewing her surroundings descended to mother earth again to receive the congratula- tions of few friends who witnessed the feat.
 For, several days steeple painters had been at work on the church stee- pie and a string of ladders was lashed to one side of the steeple clear to the top. Up this frail and treacherous stairway Miss Foote ascended, patted the top notch of the steeple three times with her right hand while stand ing there, and then came down.
 She was cool and calm when she reached the ground The feat was ac- complished merely for personal desire and upon no wager or daring of any kind Charles Gallagher of Framing ham, one of the painters of the Stee- ple. preceded Miss Foote to the top and marked out the weak spot in the lad der so that she might use great eau tiOn at that point.
 He sat in the painters boat chair at the top and conyersed with Miss Foote while she stood gazing at the sights from her lofty position. It re- quires a little longer to descend than to make the ascent. The men it work all said the climb and the cool manner in which it was made ex- celled any piece of daring work they have seen in their long experience as steeple climbers. It was their opin- ion that not one man in ten thousand could make such an easy job of 1t.
 At the time of the completion of the great 175 foot brick chimney at the Dwight Print Company's plant, Miss Foote climbed to the top of this mas sive chimney and sat at the top for some time.-Ashland Dispatch.

Rock Island Rumors.

The street heard number Of rumors
regarding Rock Island yesterday, but the
stock was one Of the weakest on the rail-
way list, closing at almost the bottom
price for the day. The syrchronous de-
velopmcnt of rosy rumors and decline
in the price OF a stock always onens the
outside mind to suspicion that the in
slider is trying TO make a market for
stock. Sometimes this suspicion is un-
founded. and sometimes, as has been
proven frequently in the past, there is
the best OF ground for it.
One story now noated is that the ac-
uuisition Of the control Of the system by
the Moores is to be followed by 100
per cent increase in the capital stock,
and a dividend rate on the entire capi-
talization of per cent No foundation
for this story was to be had.

The third matter OF gossip regarding
the copper situation in the street yester-
day was that the City National Bank. the
Rockefellers' bank. IS Offering to lend
money on Amalgamated Copper at CO..
This is important If true" Of course Ii
might be considered to be peg" in the
price OF the stock at that figure. or even
il might mean that the decline has about
reached its limit already as far as the
copper people know anything of the situ-
alton.
Al the same time. one Of the street
newspapers yesterday said that insiders
have been telling their friends not to buy
the stock yet There is fine chance
here to pay your money and take your
choice, but conservative brokers still ad-
yise the third choice, that does not in

before, whereas the general list recovered

The steel securities were both strong

New York Central Earnings.

The recent sharp advance and subse-
quent decline in New York Central stock
can BE considered with more intelligence
with the reports Of the Central and other
Vanderbilt systems as 4 basis. and It
should be said Immediately that the
showing Of these reports is extremely
gratifying IN many ways.
1t may be said in general that the net
earnings Of the Lake shore, the Lake
Erie and Western, and the Michigan Cen
trail ana Canada Southern were about the
same as last year. and that they add the
usual amount to the New York Central
Income. as well as pl'ng up a large sur
plus which is potentially beneficial to the
Central, of course. II may be estimated
from the known facts regarding the Van
derblt ownership Of the junior Wander
bilt securities that these surpluses are at
least equal TO 3lz per cent ON the New
York Central stock for the year. The
report Of the New York Central itself is
as follows

Rocl.feIIer-RothscIild numors.

The other news than that Of the money
market yesterday was chiefly regarding
the copper situation. The price Of copper
has been cut by the Metals Selling Com
pany. the selling agent for the Anal
gamated company. CT at least such was
the statement in the street yesterday 1t
was said that the price had been cut ia
cents a pound. The Metals Selling Com
pany officers have contended all along
that there WIS to be no cut. and the open
reduction is therefore significant The
cut undoubtedly is the result Of the fur
ther decline in Europe on the day pre-
yious.
One Of the rumors regarding copper yes
terday wEs that there have been nego-
tiations between the Rockefellers and the
Rothschilds in the past few days. but that
they have come to naught. This state
meBt may mean that there has been
split between the two great world powers
in copper or it may noe or it may not be
true in any particular. At any rate II is
interesting and caused much gossip in the
street

The bank statement, contrary TO eXpec-
tations. is likely to be not very bad to-
day. The reduction in the call loan rate
yesterday is a very good indication that
there has been a heavy reduction in leans
during the past week. so that the banks
feel very much better regarding the out
look.
The banks undoubtedly have lost cash
heavily to the Sub Treasury and in ex-
ports. The experts say that the amount
will exceed S60OC.G coo. On this showing il
has been predicted that the statement
would be even worse than that of last
week ard that the surplus reserve would
be entirely wiped out, This. Of course
would have meant a very serious none
tary condition and would have warranted
an even worse decline in the price of Sc
curities than occurred on Wednesday and
Thursday
But if leans have been reduced sew
eral millions of dollars the complexion Of
the statement will be much more encour-
aging. And this seems reasonably GER
tain, as liquidation has been tremendous.
Expect Fair BnuIS Showing.
Support to the market yesterday after
noon by important people seems to indi-
cate that there is, in some quarters at
least, an expectation Of easier money and
a better bank statement 1t may be that
the people Mr. Keene represents. for he
was a heavy buyer yesterday. have actual
advance knowledge as 10 the statement
and are not merely guessing.

the rate Of 81, ,756, 200 for full year, or
more than 10 per cent on the stcck. The
latter half of the New York Central year.
however, is not usually so profitable as
the first half, and this amount should be
cut down materially ip making any esti-
mate of the total for the full year.
1t is not too much to expect, however,
that the net income for the year, applica-
bic TO dividends. will be between S. 500, =
Geo and Sg0O0.00 The net income last
year was 81 535, 600. ana the increase in
the first half 70 this year has been sal,
COO If there were no further increase the
total income for the year would be $3.50
0Q0 nearly. a further Increase of $4,000
would make the total over 100000 An
income OF s. 100000 is equal to "a per
cent and $4,000. coo is equal to rs per
cent The dividend at the rate of per
cent is not more than two-thirds of the
income applicable to dividends.
When these figures are considered in
connection with the Lake Shore and other
surpluscs ii will he seen that a reason
able amount of enthusiasm regarding the
company and its security is permissible
even TO the most conservative investor.
Some day the surplus of the Lake Shore
will be divided in some way so that the
Central can benefit by it.
The recent bull campaign in Central
was apparently based on the supposition
that some such action was to be taken
this month. The theory. If it was really
genuinely held, was faulty. and conse-
qucntly there has been a sharp decline in
the stock. But there does not seem TO
be any very good reason for selling out
ones holding of Central at this time be-
cause its potential melon" has not been
