 (Norwalk Hour.)
 Mr. Hill needed seven votes to se- cure the election. He lost twelve in Fairfield county through the kindness of Sidney E.. Hawley and other county Fairfield county and our county: sher- if? Had Fairfield county been square, Hill would have been elected.
 They tell us that ''Sid' Hawley was againsnt Hill because he was afraid if Hill won that Allan Paige would be county boss. We would gladly print complete list of Sheriff Hawley's ex- reading.
 MT. Hill had the machine, the "bar- rel'' and the traitors all against him, yet he only lost. by seven votes.

 South Norwalk Sentine1)
 Many of the Republican leaders of Fairfield county are not reticent in appropriating to Sheriff Sidney D. Hawiey a Hons share of the credit for J. Hill for the United States Senator ship. They allow to him the privilege of making Q personal choice as to whom he will support, but insist that the office of sheriff was not created for the purpose of making 8 Czar of the incumbent of the office. The opinion of many is that Sheriff Hawley has helped place Fairfield county in a dis graceful position. It would appear to be up to the people to speak in the matter at some future time.

James d.. Schuyler, an American engi-
neer who recently accompanied President
Taft on a tour Of inspection on the Pana-
ma canal, declares that the rush Of water
in the recent Monterey flood, which cost
1000 lives in that city alone, exceeded the
flow OF Niagara by 5000 cubic feet a sec
ond. He based the statement on records
furnished him by competent engineers.
The volume OF water that swept down
the Santa Catarina river during the flood
was 10000 cubic feet a second" said Mr..
Schuyler. Niagara carries at the famous
falls a volume OF water amounting 10 222.-
900 cubic feet a second.
The Santa Catarina watershed COM
prises 5i square miles. so that the esti-
mated discharge Of water during the
height Of the flood was $50 cubic feet a
second a square mile.
The discharge at Estanzuella was SIS
feet a second a square mile, The highest
Flow ! ever heard Of before was not more
than 80 cubic feet.
AS much as 2l6l inches OF rain fell in
Monterey In ~ninety-eight hours. from Au-
gust 20.
"A few days before that time fourier
inches fell In foTty-two hours, making a
total rainfall OF 84.l6 inches IN 40 hours.

marriage ceremony was performed IL pub

seclusion OF the home OF the brides par

admitted.
The general public and myself were
lined up on either side OF the cathedral
interior, leaving a wide aisle from the
broad main entrance In front TO the altar.
There We waited patiently for half an
hour, until a signal was given for the
music to begin, and the wedding party

one OF the most interesting days 1 ever
spent with Mr.. Cleveland. relates Richard
watson cid in the Century, was the
DAY OF the dedication of the Grant monu-
ment, II was the 9th Of April, 1897, I'm
the month after his retirement, and at a
time when he thought he had reason to
feel disappointment at the lack of under
standing and appreciation Of his own pub
lie service. President Mckinley was to
make the address on the occasion, and
Mr.. Cleveland, who was Just beginning his
life in Princeton. had no duties to perform
except TO. be present as a guest Of the city.
Having been designated by Mayor Strong
to act as attendant upon the ex-president,
! accompanied him in the parade, and Wit
messed the extraordinary reception tend
cred him by the people of the city along
the line OF the procession. The demon
straton was, indeed. a revelation OF the
true feeling Of the great masses Of the
people for the mar 1 could see that he was
very deeply touched.
While We were alone at luncheon that
day he talked in a tone Of appreciation OF
his fellow workers in his last a~dmInistra-
'tlOn. In speaking OF Mr.. Carlisle, he said
he was perfectly sure OF his dislnterested-
ness. His very last speech, that OF the
18th Of April, he considered a new proof
OF this. He might have said to himself
that the whirligig OF time that brings
such strange things around. might bring
something to him. Nevertheless, he was
perfectly outspoken and frank. Carlisle
might have said. There is no necessity
for me to add my sound-money record
Mr.. Cleveland said that he only wished
the public could have heard all their talks
together.
Mr.. ,Cleveland's mind had carried him
back to the days Of stress when the sec
rotary and 1he president were battling to-
sether in the interest OF sound money and
other causes dear to the presidents heart
and thereupon he gave utterance to this
most memorable words OF self-estimate
ever heard from his lips:
W are just right for each other; Ia
knows all 1 ought to know, and I can beal
all we nave to bear"
