lFrOm the Ch1caao Standard, Dec. 5.
 The funeral service for Mr. John N. Babcock of Morgan Park, conducted by Dr. T. W. Goodspeed, occurred on Wednesday of last week. We are supplied with the following sketch of this good man, so highly esteemed by all who knew him:
 MT. Babcock was born in New Haven, Conn.,, May 1s 1916, and was a resident of that city for sixty years. On August g, 1887, he married Char Iotte lott Bromley, G sister of Isaac Brom, ey of bim the % Gaw York Tribune of MhG life. When thirty-one years old he was con verted and joined the First Baptist church in ganizing the Cavalry Baptist church of that til his death
 MT. Babcock was successful business man and accumulated considerable wealth. During the disastrous panic of 1873 and the following years his property was swept away and he has not since returned to business Mir. and Mrs. Bab- cock came to Chicago soon after this reverse in business and have since made their home with their son-in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs. Q. O. Ten Brocke living since 1885 in Morgan Park.
 During many years Mir. Babcock was known as prominent and liberal New Haven Baptist, al ways declining to accept any office in the church or city, but highly esteemed as citizen and be- loved by his brethren in the churches The re- verses which stripped him of his means he re. ceived with wonderful Christian fortitude, and he remained till the day of his death one of the most cheerful of men: During his later years deafness and failing health interfered with his activity in church life, but he retained his Chris tian faith looking forward to the end not only with composure, but with desire and anticipa- hope. Mir. Babcock leaves a family of four sons and two daughters. The husband of one of these daughters is Major Clarence Dutton distin- guished member of the United States geological survey,

A Pleasant Occasion.

A very enjoyable complimentary musi- cale was that given recently by the pupils of Mrs. Kate M. Preston, assisted by Miss Florence Pardee, soprano and MT. James w. Seeley, violinist, at the residence of Mrs. Preston, 197 Blatchley avenue. About thirty of the pupils sat down to bounti- full supper provided by their teacher, which, judging from the mirth and good cheer indulged in, was heartily appreciated. At 7:30 p. m. the parlors were filled with the parents and friends of the pupils, who listened with much interest while the fol lowing program was being rendered.: "The Angels Serenade" was beautifully sung by Miss Pardee, accompanied on the violin by MT. Seeley, and added much to the enjoy ment of the occasion.
 As regards the piano numbers, it would be difficult to particularize, as each per former showed close and earnest study, with the most careful and thorough train ing, however, Misses E. M. .Bonton and Grace Nichols of this city, and Misses Bes- sic Andrews and Bertha Smith of Walling- ford were especially noticeable for fine technique, while the duet by Miss and Mr. Andrews was remarkable for it's clearness and sconciseness.

 NEW YORK; December. The stock market to-day was little more active while there was good buying of many of the prominent shares, notably the Vanderbilts, the industrials and Louisville there was special pressure made upon the northern Pacific stocks and later upon Missouri Pacific. Union Pacific sympathized with the weakness in these shares. Pacific Mail was sold down on the loss of one of it's new steamers. The open was generally at small advances over Saturdays prices and not withstanding the weakness in the Vards the general list led by the Omaha stocks the pre- ferred rising 11s per cent, rose fractionally as rule and the firm to strong tone developed lasted until well into the afternoon, though there was dulness in the late trading up to the time when the early raid resumed.

 cendiarism-Other Notes.
 The big Lake Kenosia serpent is captured-at least so they say-and is now on exhibition. It was captured during the recent cold snap by one Warren c. Baker, @ well known local character, a road near the lake. It was in dormant state and Baker had little difficulty in putting it in his wagon. The theory is that it was one of the big snakes that escaped from John B. Doris circus many years ago and has made Lake Keno sia and vicinity his abode ever since. Dr. Knox's wife, who years ago was Millie De Granville the strong woman in Barnum's show, purchased the snake from Baker. She has put it on exhibition, charging ten cents admission, and is making a barrel of money out of the exhibition, whether it the genuine Lake Kenosia serpent or not The condition of Charles Dillon, chairman of the Hartford democratic town committee who is ill with typhoid fever, is quite critical. An attempt was made Sunday night to burn the old unsccupied foundry on the Sargent prop oil barrel was found on the premises, and there were signs of oil on the roof.
