honors during the session, standing

an exemplary record as pupil. Never

ANOTHER BIG STORM.
Everything AS Black AS Night Au-
gust Is At 3 p. M.

If anything that ever blanketed the
tropics surpassed the terrible look Of
the storm that swept the Palisades
August Is, it must have been a ter
ror, truly. Shortly before p. M the
northwest threw up its ramparts of
almost inky black clouds, the sky was
overcast SO that at midnight and no
moon, houses unlighted could scarcely
have been darker. The electric lights
went out because over at the trans
earlier ones hit the wires and melted
off a cable. Several other tremend-
Gus crashes came, and then torrent
especially at that bugbear of cross
where it became so deep that the
sidewalks were completely obliter-
ated. And on the north side of the
Pinard's the water actually rose over
the crown of the roadway, covered
the sidewalk six inches and backed
over into the front lawn.
Along the trolley lines there was
much havoc. The Paterson line was
covered in two feet of mud and sand.
according to a motorman who said
he helped shovel it off. and trees and
branches also impeded traffic after
the wind had twisted them over
The walk to the ferry was terribly
washed but only one rotten maple
fell over, down by the big stairway.
1t hit a guy cable, but did no dam
age. The big loblolly, however, was
under the rustic stone bridge. The
water poured out from behind the
balloon hangar and made swimming
under the bridge quite possible. The
next morning, even, the place was
impossible.
Aside from the big scare at its awe
someness the storm did no particu
lar damage in or near Palisade. The
resounding crashes of thunder and
brilliant flashes of lightning led some
to believe that something had been
struck. But the pole at the trans
forming station was about all that
was hurt The rain must have meas
ured close to an inch for the after
noon, for there were several other
showers after the big splurge about
three o'clock
Chickens around the neighborhood,
what few there are, went to roost
when it got so dark, and some one
said they heard George Lanes big
rooster crow half an hour later when
the clouds broke, the might" being
all too short for him to lie abed.

1r Kelly then informed the meet
j that several progressive republi-
u of Bergen were present, and they
u accordingly invited to speak.
Herbert M. Bailey, of Hackensack,
&,ident of the Bergen County Pro-
E;sive Republican Club was the
\ speaker. He gave an outline of
j difference between a Progressive

Tor Wilson was progressive. and
was a man for whom he had the
respect. He characterized

there wasn't much difference be-
zen a Progressive Republican and
Democrat. Mr.. Robin
dwelt upon the fact that more
liable legislation had been enacted

credit and ought to take it. Mr..
