The Markets
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. Aug. 17.--Irregularity was
the dominant note of the stock market
today. the list receding and advancing
half dozen times during the early ses-
sion, and for the most part within very
narrow range. In the later trading, now
ever. the market steered more direct
upward course and added very generally
to its gains for the previous day.
Denials from abroad of the consumma-
ton of the much discussed copper merger
impaired some heaviness to the metal
stocks despite the publication of figures
showing a reduction in the European sup
ply for that commodity, and the recent
large sales here for domestic delivery.
Stocks of the iron and steel companies
were generally strong in the face of fur
Their price cutting. United States Steel
led the issues and apparently large short
interests in the stock were again mate
rally reduced.
and Southern Pacific were most conspic-
uous and the movement in these stocks
was aScrlbed to Accommodations by re-
sponsible interests. The Hartman shares
were helped in no small degree by the
favorable crop reports received from the
agricultural districts along that system
and the rise in Rock Island was attrib-
uted to the same cause
The most interesting item from abroad
was the exhibit of the Imperial Bank of
Germany. which showed further gain
in it's gold holdings and an enormous
increase in deposits. Americans were the
strongest feature of the London mar
ket. and operations for that account here
aggregated about 20000 shares equally di-
vided between purchases and sales. the

The general markets of London were in
cined to heaviness the unfavorable
showing made by one of the rubber COM
panieS.
The only noteworthy railroad return is
sued today was that of the Baltimore &,

of $4,000 in gross earnings was reversed
to loss of $154.0O0 in net

ROCKEFELLER VOICES REGRET
That He Never Became Mason
Wealth Made Him a Mark.

Chicago, Ill, Aug 17.-One of the keen
Teller is that he never became a Mason,
and therefore cannot be greeted as Sir
Knight Templar.
Years ago the oil king confided his dis
appointment to Thomas Hayes. his bar
Der. and told why he had RETAINED from
entering secret societies.
Sir Knight Hayes, who is a member of
Oriental Commandery No r. of Cleve-
land. Ohio, reached Chicago after re-
cord-breaking speed trip over the Lake
Shore Railroad. The commandery sent
20 of its members to the conclave. and
the special train brought several hundred
excursionists
Yes, Mr. Rockefeller often Id me he
would like to be Sir Knight said Mr..
Hayes today. He said the reason he
kept out of secret societies was because
OF his great wealth. He said that with
MS riches had come certain notoriety
which made it impossible for him to ap-
pear in any society with any degree of
ease or pleasure. Money had made him a
mark. he said, for all kinds If annoying
and irritating attention from the curious
and from schemers.
For that reason he had decided to
keep out Of the ranks of all kinds of So
cieties or organizations, much as he re-
garded the pleasant association resulting
from a fraternal friendship"

New York. Aug. 17-After labor last
ing nearly all summer the football
rules committee today made public the
rules, which are to govern the conduct
of the game during the season of 1910.
The changes adopted are revolution
airy IN character and calculated to
minimize greatly the danger of fatal
accidents existing under the old rules
For one thing the time of play IS
divided into four periods of 10 minutes
duration instead of the traditional two
halves of 80 minutes each. The usual
intermisSlon of Is minutes is MAIN
tanned between the second and. third
period, but an intermisslon OF three
minutes only is allowed between the
first and second and third and fourth
periods. During this short intermis-
sion no player is to be allowed to leave
the field nor will anyone be permitted
to come on the field. save only the in
dividual who looks after the physical
condition Of the players.
At the beginning of the second and
fourth periods the teams change goals
but the down. the relative spot OF the
down, the possession of the ball and
the distance to be gained remain as
they were at the conclusion of the
proceeding period of play.
Another radical change is that
governing the flying tackle, This has
been entirely eliminated by new rul-
ing. which provides that player must
have one foot at least on the ground
when tackling an opponent The new
legislation governing the forward pass.
which a number of the experts were
inclined to abolish altogether will ma
terially alter the play and aspect OF
the game.
This years rules provide that
player is only qualified to receive q
forward pass. who is at least one yard
back of his own line scrimmage or oc-
cupies the position on the end of said
line No man may make a forward pass
or kick the ball unless he is five yards
back of the line scrmmage.
The try forward of the line of scrim-
mage and consequently in the enemies
camp. is adjudged neutral for dis
tance of 20 yards pending the com
pletion of forward pass or kick. A
forward pass is not legal if the ball
crosses line 20 yards in advance or
the spot where it was put in play be-
fore touching the ground or player
In the case of q kick. the players on
the defence within the 20-yard zone
must not interfere with the ends, or

opponents have advanced 20 yards be-

MRS. FlSkE A GOOD FAIRY.
Actress Will Help Manned Girl Find
Vocation in Life,

This is just the plain tale of how
famous and beloved actress found time
in the midst of a busy day crowded with
business affairs to spend chatty half
hour with pretty Marjorie Mahr the
heroic little chorus girl who lost both
legs in the railroad accident two weeks
ago. at the Good Samaritan Hospital

brown eyes followed the visitor as she
entered the building.

arms to grasp their team mates in any
way is forbidden. and it is also for
hidden for any man on the side hav-
ing possession of the ball to push or
pull in any way the man running with

Another innovation is to be noted
in regard to the substitution of players
during a game. rule has been
passed which provides that player
who has been removed for any cause

her two Spanish rivals.
The second leg was broad reach
and the two leaders swung into luf1in
match that not only carried them oft
the course, but gave the Gina a chance
Still the relative positions were un-
changed at the second mark. The
third leg was also a reach and again
the Beaver and Harpon luffed out to
windward. this time so rar that the
Gina slipped ahead of both and com
pleted the first round 81 seconds in the
lead. with the Harpoon seven seconds
behind the Beaver.
On the second beat to windward the
Beaver and Harpoon passed the Gina,
but all three were less than minute
apart at the turn Again the Gina drew
up on the flying leaders in the reaches
and when the second mark was turned
the Beaver led the Harpoon by five sec
onds and the Gina by Il seconds.
1t was this second mark that robbed
the Harpoon of the race. With the Bea-
yer scarcely more than a length ahead.
Capt. Adams attempted to cut in between
the stern of the leader and the buoy, but
the flag giving lurch tapped on the
Harpoons starboard shrouds. No one
was affected by the foul, but Capt.
Adams, realizing his mistake. attempted
to pull out of the contest But the Bea-
Yer luffed out after him and again the
two yachts struggled for the advantage
with the Gina right abreast The three
boats came for the line side by side and
the Harpoon swinging close to the conf
mittee tug received the first whistle.
Twelve seconds later came the toot for
the Beaver and two seconds after the
Gina was given her salute. 1t took the
committee few minutes to figure out
that the Harpoon had won, but minute
later they had to change their decision
when Capt. Adams ranged alongside and
acknowledged the mistake

On Lifting Cats and Rabbits.

1t is mistaken idea that the proper
way to lift a full grown cat is by tine
nape Of its neck without supporting
the lower part of its body with The
other hand. 1t is true hat the mot her
cat carries young Kittens by grasping
in her mouth the loose skin ut the
back Of her offsprings neck. but a
tiny kitten is a very different matter
from a large cat. and. indeed. the only
way to lift kitten without squeezing
or hurting its soft little body is TO lift
it by its neck. But after it has grown
larger it's own weight is too great to
be supported by such bit Of skin and
fur as is SO grasped by he hand. and
many cat suffers perfect tortures by
being held in this manner and is quite
helpless to run or struggle. as in such
a position certain of it's muscles can
not be controlled, and il is absolutely
at the mercy of it's unconscious tor
mentor.
The same rule should be observed in
lifting rabbits by their ears. They
should always be partially supported
by the free hand and not allowed to
dangle with their whole weight strai in
ing from their large but necessarily
delicate ears.-Watchword
