THE LATE PHILIP BATTELL.
Last of a Large and Distinguished
Family.

Last OF a Large ana Distinguished
Family.
The funeral of Philip Battell at the
Congregational church, Middlebury,
VT, last Friday was largely attended
by his neighbors and friends as we'll
as relatives there and from abroad.
The services We're simple, but impress
sive, being conducted by his pastor who
paid feeling tribute to the high char
acter of Mr.. Battell, who, he said, en-
bodied in the highest degree all that is
implied by the term, a Christian gentle
man. A correspondent of the Winsted
Citizen says:
MIR. Battell has passed his ninetieth
birthday only few days previous to
his death. He was the second child Of
the family of nine children of Joseph
and Sarah Battell.
Entering Yale college he remained
there two years when he Joined his eld-
he graduated.
Afterwards he studied law, practic-
ing his profession some nine years,
part of the time being in Cleveland, o.
He then returned to Middlebury, where
the remainder of his long life has been
spent honored and loved by all for his
sterling qualities as neighbor and
friend.
"In the year 1886 he married the
daughter of Hon. Horatio Seymour of
Vermont, who died a few years later
leaving two children, Emma, wife of
the Hon. John W. Stewart, and Joseph.
"Mr. Battell will long be remembered
by his large circle of acquaintances as
man singularly kind and charitable in
his judgment Of others, Of gentle and
sweet disposition and of unfailing cour-
tesy Among other things in which he
was specially interested was the observ-
ance of Forefather's Day, and to him
it is due that the custom has been
maintained from year to year in Mid
dlebury.
"Geneology also claimed his active in
terest and he correspondent widely on
the subject.
"Thus has passed away the last one
of a large and distinguished family
widely known and honored."

Publication of Presidents Message Had
Little Effect on the Stock Market

Publication Of Presidents Message Had
Little Effect on the Stock Market.
New York, Dec. 6.-Although specu-
lators in stocks have sought to influ-
ence prices for several weeks by sur
misses on the contents of the presidents
message, the actual publication Of that
document to-day had little effect on the
market. There was nothing in 1t that
came as a surprise, almost every point
having been accurately foretold in de-
tail Prices of stocks had been advance
ed to some extent in anticipation of the
message and there was some expecta-
ton that its publication would be met
by a decline caused by realizing sales.
But the market held fairly steady after
list publication until raid by the bears
in the final hour, which was encouraged
by the weakness of New Jersey Central,
rectly affected by the paragraph devot-
ed to it in the message, and declined
nearly point. Most of the days move
ment of prices was, however, due to
special causes, and was most marked
in the specialties. Sugar was the lead
er in point of activity and strength and
advanced at one time S1s per cent. Its
strength was caused by the approach
ing dividend period and belief in the
advantage arising from the newly ap-
piled countervailing duties. Manhat-
tan was at one time 21k points above
Saturdays close on the belief that the
proposed underground rapid transit
plan will be vetoed by the courts. Rock
Island continued to enjoy an advantage
from it's newly perfected refunding plan
and gave strength to the other grang-
ers by sympathy. Some of the days

fourth week in November were so fav-
orable. as to lift the prices Of their
stocks. This was notably true of Mis-
souri, Pacific, which showed an increase
in earnings of $276,000 and in Louisville
whose gain was nearly $4,000. Each
of these stocks rose a point, Cleveland,
Lorain and Wheeling preferred moved
up 21a points on the Increased earnings
shown for the month, and Southern
Railway preferred rose from the same
cause. The coalers were decidedly
weak New Jersey Central specially so,
and it was a break Of 21a points from
the highest in this stock, which en-
couraged the late raid by the bears and
lowered the level of prices throughout
the market. The money market con-
tinued notably easy and it was report
ed that large sums are offering on time
loans for Chicago and other western
banks in this market. Notwithstanding
the ease Of money and sharp stiffen-
ing in the discount rate both in Lon
don and Berlin, sterling exchange was
weak, posted rates being reduced "
cent fors both long and short bills and
actual business being done at u lower
rates for long bills demand and cables
on London.
The bond market was active with the
exception of an interval of dullness at
midday and prices advanced without
interruption. Total sales, $3,7S0,Oo0.
United States bonds were unchanged
in bid price. There was sale of the
new As coupon at 12s%, the highest rec
ord.

mendation that banks be required to
redeem their notes in gold with no
other provision of law would cause
every bank in the country to surrender
Its circulation and then what agency
would keep the country on a gold
basis?" ....
Chairman Dingley Of Maine said:
The message is a practical state paper
which will be generally approved. The
president presents some excellent sug-
gestions as to the currency. What the
presidents says relative to Cuba will,
have no doubt, meet the hearty APP
proval of the best sentiment of the
country"
Senator Hale: "The recommended
tons in regard to Cuba is in all re-
spects admirable and one with which
/ am much pleased. On the subject Of
the finances, the president does not
press for Immediate action, and as for
myself 1 do not believe that such would
be possible Under the circumstances"
Senator Hoar said: "It struck me as
a wise, compact and carefully consid-
cred document, that portion Of it re-
lating to Cuba Is most excellent"
Senator Chandler said: Il am spe-
cially pleased with the presidents evil
dent intention to maintain a policy in
theinterest Of international bimetallism.
I regret his opposition to intervention
in behalf of Cuban independence"
Senator Hanna said: ''Statesmanlike
and impressive and convincing and one
which will coflrm the confidence the
country has in the president"
Senator Foraker said: CAS- a whole
the message Is an able document, but
do not agree with the presidents con-
illusions on the subject of international
law as applied to Cuba"
