BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

John O'Brien will soon open a bake shop in the Mitchell. block on Bank street
 The funeral of Charles Keenan, the thirteen months old son of Mir and Mrs Edward Keenan of 104 Railrcad Hill street. took place at 4 o'clock this after noon. Interment was in St JosePh's cemetery.
 The big lot of the Lithuanian parish on James street is fairly alive with work = men to-day. The material for the new structure is on the ground and it looks as though it is the intention to rush things through with dispatch.
 The proposed layout of Bank street. southerly. is a burning question for prop erty owners in that section. It is the hope of all parties interested that the court of common council will take up this matter at once and that the plan mapped cut in the DEMOCRAT some time ago will be fol- lowed as closely as it possibly can be done.
 Property owners on Bank street above the brewery, and on James street. who have been ordered to put down walks in front of their property would do we'll to proceed with the work. Their negligence in this matter was the subject of half an hours talk at the meeting of the aldermen Monday night, and it was the general opinion that measures should be taken to compel them to do the work
 A man who IS interested in the pro- posed changes in Washington avenue be- tween the Naugatuck road and Bank street wants to know why the street needs straight-ning at this point any more than it does west of Bank street. where it Is in regular zigzag shape and much worse than at the east side. He says if it should be changed at the west side it would effect
 -E know how much those public spirited cIti- zens would consider theIr prep srty worth in case they should be cited in for a hear ing for this purpose. He said if the street should be straighteped west of Bank street it would cut clear through the property of Alderman Gregory and Road Commission CT Henderson.

On CaIifornI. Shores.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. I7.-The gale which has prevailed along the north Pa cific coast since Saturday last has un- doubtedly caused widespread disaster to shipping interests. At least three schoon- CTS are known to be wrecked. There are grave reasons for believing that tho American ship IvanhOe has been lost with all on board, and there is little doubt that the Southern Pacific raft of 10, 900 spars and piles, valued at S30, GOO, has been broken up by the clements. The news of the next few days, it is thought will show still greater loss.
 From Tacoma the schooner Nora Har- kins Is reported wrecked at the entrance to Grape harbor. One seaman was drown cd. Reports wero also received here of tho wreck of the schooner Portia nt Stew ards point. Her bottom was knocked out on the rocks, and her crow narrowly cs- capped with their lives.
 It is also reported that the schooner Elfretta was driven on the rocks near Cambria. on the San Luis Obispo county coast. X few minutes after the crew left her she broke in two and went down.
 Tho American ship Ivanhoe, coal laden, from Seattle for this port. which has now been out Fl days, is almost certainly lost. Captain c. F.. Griffin commanded her, and she carried a crew of Is men.
 Colonel Fred Grant, one of the proprie- tors of tho Seattle Post Intelligencer and ex-minister to Bolivia was a passenger on the Ivanhoe. having embarked on her to enjoy the novelty of n sea voyage.
 A mast and yards painted yellow and believed by seamen to be part of the rig glng of the Ivanhoe have been sighted of painted as was the Ivanhoes was also seen in the locality

WILL CLEVELAND SPEAK
Hill Men Anxious For Him to
 Indorse Their Ticket.
A LAST APPEAL TO BE MADE SOON.

When the President Passes Through New
 York, He wnI He Asked to Declare
 Himself For the Ticket-HIII Speaks to
 a Big Crowd at Utica.
 NEW YORK, Oct. IA Republican morning newspaper says today: Bitter feeling Is being engendered around Dem ocratic state headquarters by the prolong ed silence of Grover Cleveland All man ner of devices have been resortcd to to in. duce the president to come out in public letter as the champion of the senior soma tor of New York state in the up hill race which has been forced upon him. The president has been approached on the subject through immediate friends of William c. Whitney and presumably through Daniel s. Lamont. A last des- perate effort will be made to force some favorable expression regarding Senator Hills candidacy when the president passes through this city in a few days on the way from Buzzards Bay to Washington.
 There are mugwumps in great num- bers who argue that 1t would be beneath the dignity of the president of the United States to try thus to influence voters. One of these gentlemen said so at Mir. Hills headquarters in the Park Avenue hotel yesterday. lie was promptly reminded that President Cleveland did not think 1t was beneath his dignity to write a letter urging support for Colonel John R. Eel lows when he was n candidate for a coun- ty office few years ago. This simple fact silenced the mugwump.
 Antisnappers For HilI.
 Many of Mir. Clevcland's particular friends have declared openly for Senator Hill, including men like Frederic k. Coudert. The Grace antisnappers also stand in this list-that Is to say, they make this assertion. It is not regarded as at all likely that the antisnappers will use any influence they may have with the president to procure his indorsement of the Hill ticket. But should they consent 10 do so 1t is not considered probable that Mir. Cleveland would pay much attention to them.
 "The fact seems to bs conceded all around that the president Is under the in- nuence of the original band of mug wumps who made his election possible in 1884. The mon and tho newspapers in this city and Brooklyn that supported Cleveland then are bitterly opposed to Hill now. It may be stated on the best authority that these men have made the demand from Mir. Cleveland that he must not move a finger to forward Mir. Hills interests. On excellent authority it can be added that Mir. Cleveland is quite will ing to leave MT. Hill to his fato without urging in that direction

The Peoples Under taker on the Sub feet of Death.

When Edison visited Paris the people treated him with the most profound re- spect. They believed him to be the great est genius which the world had ever known. But if Edison could make a MAN, what would we think or him then The whole world would worship him. If he could make body with heart that beats 30, ,000, GOO times year. and It 1t stopped once death Is sure to follow. Our body with it's 200 bones and 800 muscles; the brain with its 60O, ,000. GOO cells. each one of which contains a thought; miles Of arteries and veins like roads and rivers. running in different directions When the Peoples Undertaken is doing his work, he wonders what sort of a jewel must have been there a few moments before, when such a wonderful piece of machinery was necessary for merely an outward covering The Great Mechanic never meant that hls work should ever die, or else such care would not be taken with the part that is left to us to bury. We went into a great Bank few days ago and the president took special delight in showing the works on the doors of the vault. the time lock and every contrIvance to insure safety, and all solid metal. We knew tsere was something very precious inside this out ward covering We do not think. there fore. that death is such terrible thing; and we think that the people ought to think the same way, for the reasons which we have given. There are about oUO souls leaving our city every year for parts un- known, and if we can make them feel Joy- full on their journey. there will be millions waiting to welcome the Peoples Under- taker on the other side for telling them this Great Truth while they were here on Earth.
