BROOKLYN BRIEFS


 Charles Edward, the five months' old son of MT and Mrs John D. Bolan of 19 Summit street, died this morn ing. The funeral took place this af- ternoon with interment in St Joseph's cemetery.
 The railroad trestle of the High land division road that crosses South Leonard street near the ball grounds. IS occupying the attention of property owners in that part of the town, and 1t IS thought that the city will be asked 10 do something about 1t before long. It was shame to put such bridge there and the sooner it is replaced by suitable structure the better every body will like it. 1t should be wider and higher. At the present time a six footer wearing a tall hat would almost nave to bend his head to get under it. The place will never make much head way unless the bridge is raised and fixed so that . man can drive under if with load of hay or anything else that passes along the public streets.
 -Residents of South Brooklyn Arc beginning to feel anxious about the late of the lights they petitioned for some time ago and would like to know If they are going to get them this win ter. They represent that there is no part of the city in greater need of lights and hope the city fathers will llght tho place up on time to give Sam ta Claus a chance to ind out tho differ ent houses in that district where so many children live. and hope the jolly rover will not have to grope about to md his way down there this year. as he has had to do in the past. They say they saw in the papers that this lnattef was referred to committee consisting of Mayor Kilduff for inves- flgation and report and hope his honor VIII take the first opportunity to in- qtllre into their case if he has not al- ready done so
 Tom Kelly's remarks in yesterdays issue Of the Democrat about the exten- l sion of Liberty street has revived old subject and set many to talking about the matter. While he is in no way responsible for the delay in getting n I cross street at this point still Commits sioner Mahaney IS getting kicked about ! 1T. and unless he does something to hurry it along before his term of office expires his constituents will mob him. l There can be no doubt of the need of l the street, but if seems if is something that will have to wait until the rail- road people decide what changes they will make in Waterbury. Some folks don't take much stock in this kind of talk. but whatever there is to it, 1t is all anybody connected with the pres l ent city government knows about it, so that those who think MT Mahaney ] could have a street there by this time if he wanted to do him great injus- ] flee.

Six Nuns from France Find Domi-
 cile in the Convent.
 Hartford, Dec 10.--Six white-robed nuns of the Order of the Holy Ghost who are now doIniciled at Mt St Jo- sepl's convent, recalled yesterday in their devotions the 200th anniversary Of the foundation of their order, They arrived at New York on Saturday last, on the steamer La Lorraine, and came to this city on the early afternoon train Sunday. They were met on their arrival in New York by two sis ters from Mt St Joseph's convent and conducted to Hartford by them. The six nuns from France are Mother Sainte Marie, Soeus Sainte Jean q Avila, Soeur Frances Marie, Soeur Therese des Angels, Soeur Yves ds Blois and Soeur Sainte Armella. Only one of them, Soeur Sainte Armella, is proficient i'll English. The others can speak and understand the language but little. Their home in France was in the department of Finisterre, Brit tany, and they were required to leave their native land because of law recently enacted relative to unauthor- ized religious communities. The schools which they conducted were also closed. Because of Bishop Tier ney's interest ill the exiles the two sisters from Mt St Joseph's convent went to New York to receive them and to offer them home i'll the convent.
 With the nuns on the Lorraine were eleven sisters of the Order of the Daughters of Jesus. These went to Canada, where it is their intention to make their homes and to establish a community of their order.

The Device of Rainbow Patron of
 the Chilly Trolley Cars.

Hartford, Dec 10.-One of the pas sengers on an early morning trolley car from Rainbow, Monday, kept pret- ty comfortable all the way to Hartford, while his neighbors in the car shivered and said hard things about the Hart ford Street Railway Go for not heat ing it's cars. He boarded the car well wrapped in a heavy ulster and carry ing in his hands a lighted lantern. When he took his seat he opened his ulster, put his lantern on his lap against his body and buttoned up his ulster again.
 'sI'll bet I keep warm,' he said, smil- ing and looking around the car. No one took his bet, for they knew he would win. He looked contented and happy all the way to the city.

For more than twenty years the Ken

the Mississippi's navigation, and Ken

scheme TO seize the part near the mouth
of the river with a filibustering force.
Protests against the neglect or failure
of the General Government to provide
free navigation of the Mississippi in
some way were even louder in Kentucky
than in Tennessee and Ohio. In all
those States, however, the protest was
loud enough and earnest enough to
