FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
GENERAL RISE IN PRICES.
Coal Stocks Conspicuous for Activity
 and Underlying Strength.

New York, Dec. 2s.-To the casua1 l observer today's stock market savore6 strongly of the window dressing methods often employed in the Euro pean markets at this time Of the year Prices rose very generally and the moVem ent was unusually cornprehen- sive. The rise embraced only the standard railway shares, but took ir many of tho southern and southwest ern issues and various spesialties as well.
 The further gain in Southern RsiI- way preferred was coiRcident with re- ports that dividends on the stock are likely to be resumed before long. Ca nadtan Pacific was active at 8 higher price, despite it's indifferent returns for November. Union Pacific and South ern Pacific were apparently in demand at smart advances in the face of dis tinctly unfavorabla exhibits by both roads. particularly Southern Pacific which reported 8 net decrease for No- Nsnber in excess of $50O.00 .
 The coal stocks were conspicuous for their activity and underlying strength and Reading was bought by traders who protested to have advance infor- nation that the company's showing for November would be more than gratify- ing. The market fattened out very perceIEibly at midday, but became act i've again in the later trading and clos ed with prices generally at or near the best.
 Reports dealing with the steel and iron situation were conflicting. In some quarters it was declared that next months meeting of the leading interests in the industry would mark a crisis. while elsewhere it was claimed that the conference would be product i've of a better understanding between the United States Steel corporation and it's independent competitors.
 In any event United States Steel shares were among the most active and strong issues of the day.
 The suspension of an uptown savings institution, due apparently to its rela- tiors with a, defunct state bank. was the subject Of some discussion and ere sted painful impression in conserva- tive circles.
 London wax a. buyer on aiance here, but not enough to call for detailed comment
 Related demands for money caused 2 furry in call loans, for which the ra te advanced to per cent. It is not irIl- probable that 2 further slight disturb Hncs of local monetary conditions may os witnessed tomorrow, hut in the judgment of bankers the higher rate is not likely to last long.
 The bond market was irregular, with especially large dealings in Norfolk and Wesetrn convertible fours at ris- ing prices. Total sales, par value, $3,- A25.000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

New York. Dec. 29.-Football as played last season received tonight the endorsement of the Intercollegiate Ath- letic association. gathered in this city for it's annual meeting. The asSocia- tion was instrumental in bringing about a drastic revision of rules, and with the adoption of the report presented by its committee on football rules went on record as well pleased with the re- suits obtained
 Capt. Palmer Pierce, T. s. A., presi- dent of the association. reported that it's membership had increased from 35 in 1906 to S1 this year. Because of this growth he favored a change of name to the National Collegiate Athletic as sociation. This was voted.
 Of the new football, Captain Pierce said that though great progress had been made last year, the rules as they now stand could not be considered per feet.
 We nope to see the work perfected before another season." he added.

ROGER coNNoR's
WONDERFUL HIT.
He Lost the Ball, Won the Game and
 Got Gold Watch and Chain.

The home run that Roger Connor made on the old Polo grounds at One Hundred and Tenth street and Fifth avenue will long be remembered as an historical baseball event. writes Sam Crane in the New York Evening Jour nal. Roger himself has tangible proof that the Wallop was duly appre- ciated. He now wears gold watch and chain presented to him by mem bers of the stock exchange for his lengthy and winning welt. I think Roger was placed in a position where by there was nothing but that loop the-loop lick that would have won the victory. Whether it was won over the Chicago or any other club does not take away any of the credit of the clout. I think. though. it was a soak that beat the Chicagos, who a t the time were under Cap Anson. Anyhow, the Wallop was sensational.
 Roger Connor was a low ball hitter. In those days a batsman could call for either high or a low ball. and of course, Roger wanted the latter. and so informed the umpire. Pitcher Clark son. in a moment of forgetfulness or possibly by reason of his having to get the ball over showed it up just where Dear old Roger liked it best.
 Anyhow, the game ended right then and there. for Roger, with one of his mightiest swings. leaned up against the bulb with the full force that his broad shoulders warranted and the ball sail ed over all the way from One Hundred and Tenth street, where the home plate was located into One Hundred and Twelfth street two blocks. and may be going yet-for the bulb never did come back.
 ''The hit of course. won the game, 1 to 0, for the home club
 The ball was secured by Jim War dell, an old time player, and he has if now in his possession.
 'SFor three years a fag was once the point of the fence the ball went over.'

CY YOUNG GRIEVED.
Felt Pretty Sore When He Was Given
 His First Bad Beating.

The first time Cy Young got a good hard beating it was almost a tragedy for him. says Ed McKean. Tt was in Chicago, and they beat us IA to l. It was one of those beatings that don't hurt because we had no chance to win
 ''On the way to the hotel Cy sat in the carriage the picture of woe. You'd think he'd lost everything in the world. Pat Tebeau sat facing the big fellow and about g mile from the park he jumped up and bounced on Cy.
 Laugh. you big farmer, or I'll strangle you he said. I'm glad you were hit. I'm glad we were beaten. I wish they'd made a hundred runs. I'm captain of this team and I'm glad we lost I've sat here looking at that face of yours until I'm almost frozen to death
 Finally broad smile broke over Cy's face. Feel that way? he asked, sort of relieved
 Yes yelled Patsy. and tomorrow you'll have 8 chance to be hit again But the next day Cy had something to smile about, for he stood Anson and his crowd on their heads and that night he didn't have to be pounded into smiles"

CHANGES IN EDUCATION.
Earl Barnes on Improvements in Fly
 gienic Building.

Earl Barnes, the noted educator of Philadelphia, talked to the F'roebel club in the Center church house. Hart fort. recently on Impending Changes in Our Education Ideals and Prac- ttce@,' starting with an exposition of number of ideas about education held by parents and sometimes by teachers. One of these ideas is that mind is dependent upon the nervous system. which is in turn dependent on a strong and healthy body. Many be lieve that physical education takes precedence over any other kind of education of the young. Fairgrounds are maintained to be equally import ant with the class rooms. A sickly stu de1lt IS an educational sini yet Robert Louis Stevenson did some of his best work when he was frail. MT Barnes said that life was genetio in its pro- cesses and that intelligent parents held that educators must follow the natural methods and stages of devel- opment in the education A good teacet can hasten development by directing correct efforts; but the an ticipation of stages of growth usually gives 2, bad result

FRED LAKES ATTITUDE
 DESERVES COMM eN0l
Acted in Tvue Sportsman4iks ManNs4
 Towards His Successor.

Fred Lakes attitude toward the new owners of the Boston NAuon1fs dA- serves commendation, says Varsity in the Boston Herald. Fred was in 8 position to sulk and make demands, but he did neither. He gave his sNo- cessor, Fred Penney, the advantage of his knowledge of the players, point sd out many little things about the training trip and in general acted ill a Sportsmanlike manner. Penney starts off in a propitious way, but it must not be forgotten that 6 less level headed man than Lake could have started lot of talk and kicked up ufuss that might have wrecked the club at the very outset of it's new expedition into the realm of popular favor. Penney is busy on his plans and has the Bos- ton public behind him if he can only produce the goods There is no req son to believe that he will not.

PECULIAR CASE
 OF CONTRACT SIGNING
Charles (Deacon) Philippe Affixes Name to Contract Before Amount Is Filled In.

Pittsburg, Dec. 29.-A peculiar case of contract signing occurred today in the office of the Pittsburg baseball veteran pitcher, who just returned from a hunting trip in Indiana, called to wish President Barney Dreyfuss a happy new year. How would you like to sign a contract, while you're here ?'' asked Dreyfuss
 "One time suits me as well as an- other" replied the Deacon.
 T wonder if you have the nerve to sign a blank contract and allow me to fill in the amount later?' asked Barney.
 The Deacon reached for the blank, wrote his name on the last line, and handed back the contract to Drey- fuss
 The club owner filled out the docu- ment and it apparently pleased the pitcher for he smiled when he read the fflled-out contract a little later.

JOHNSON MANUFACTURING co. "LiI Artha" Does Some More Dream
 ing About His Hydraulic Lift.

Jack Johnson, inventor, plans to be- come the Johnson Manufacturing Co. in the near future.
 One of the products of the Johnson brain is a. hydraulic lift which he says will pull up anything from tWen- ty pounds to fifty tons. The other is seal for boxes or cars. In explain his inventions. Jack said:
 T have been watching men scrub ping windows and men painting build ings pulling themselves up by hand and have watched the old-fashioned cranes and dOnkeyS carry heavy build ing material up several stories in construction work and thought there ought to be safer and more simple contrivance for doing the same work. In my spare moments 1 tinkered around and worked out the lift which l have patented. The apparatus may be worked by hand electricity or steam"
 The seal is product of Johnson's days as 8 preliminary fighter When the champion was engaged in battle royals and cheap fights he was not patron of the Twentieth Century trains. The big fighter went from town to town, frequently by means of the s1dedoor palace car. He often no ticed that the seals on the cars were broken and then slipped back into place in such manner that a casual inspec- tion would not reveal anything wrong. This observation was the father of the Johnson seal, which cannot be broken and slipped back into place
 The champion has prospects of clos ing contracts with two or three rail- roads for making all their seals. He intends. he says. to build a factory near his home on the South Side in Chicago and manufacture both the hy- draulic lifts and the seals The shops will be modest at the beginning, a paltry $60,000 affair, which will en- ploy thirty or forty men. But if the concern prospers, Jack Johnson, fight CT. will be no more and John Arthur Johnson. capitalist and head of the Hydraulic Lift Co. will take his place
