The town of Randleman, in Randolph county, North Carolina, affords strik- ing illustration of the value of manu- facturing industries to community. Only a few years ago it was strag- gling village of a couple of hundred people, with no industries and very lit tie business of any kind. Now Randle- man Is the most hourishing town in Randolph county. It has several pros- porous cotton mills and other industries, its population has grown to about 5000, and about 90 per cent. of the families depend upon the wages from the spin ming, weaving and knitting factories for bread and meat, etc. There is said to be not an idle man, woman or child in the town who is willing to work.

A bill having for its object the pres- ervation of the American bison has been introduced by Senator Baker. It. pro- yides that a tract of land in New Mex ico shall be set aside for preserve, and that a twenty -five-years lease be given to Charles J. ("Buffalo') Jones of To- peka, Kansas The lease provides that MT. Jones shall place upon this tract suitable inclosure for bison, and not less than one hundred full-blooded American bison. The bill provides that if the increase in the herd shall be more than one hieon for every five hundred acres of land, or more than one male to every twenty female bison, the excess shall go to Mir Jones. At the expira- ton of the lease MT. Jones will be al- lowed to remove from the preserve the same number of bison that was orlgi- nally placed there by him. A provision is made that the Secretary of the Inte- rior, once in five years, shall have au- thority to remove five pairs of bison for use in national parks or gardens. A fine of $500 or imprisonment for not less than ninety days will be imposed upon any person killing the bison or destroy ing any part of the preserve.

The patrons of Dockstaders are
offered an entirely new bill this
week, in which good variety pre-
dominates. There is difference
between variety and specialties and
the theatre goers here seem to fav-
or the variety. On Monday the
first two performances of the week
were witnessed by crowded houses,
and Yesterday the house was very
comfortably filled at both perform
ances. Foreman and West, very
clever novelty pair. in a new skit
entitled Their First Quarrel, "
have created a very favorable i'm
preston, and are probably the
feature of the bill. Billy Ling, the
favorite minstrel Of the far West is
rather out of the ordinary. Rosa
and Kellogg with their Dutch
Pickanninies arc new here and give
lively sketches. Shechan andkenedy
in a new farce entitled "True to
Nature" are very clever. Perform
anccs afternoons and evenings all
this week.

CLIFFORD HAS
FATAL DISEASE
And Will Die a Natural
Death Instead of One A
on the SCaffOld.

New York, March 14-Edward Clifford,
tho West Shore R,ilroad detective. who
shot and killed Division Superintendent
William G. Watson, of his road on March
s, 1886, and has heen sentenc ced four tiInes
to be hanged, will now, according to the
doctors, die natural death. 1t Is Ru.
thorltatively reported that Clifford has de-
veloped Bright's disease and can live only
q few months.
The appeal, which is before the Unitsd
States Supreme Court, will not bs decided
before December, by which time. 1t Is exs
pecei, F., Clifford will be dead. The papers,
the work OF several clever lawyers. upon
which tho argument will be based. were
led in Washington ON Saturday last by
Charles j. Pershali, who has made fight
unprecedented in persistency and ingeu-
uity for his client,
Money has not boon lacking as an incen-
tive to the lawyers, for it is declared that
more than sl00C00 has been spent by Cliff
furds friends in the efforts to keep him
from the gallows.
Clifford captured Purry, the train rob-
ber and hence was famous and widely
known charac er on the other side Of the
North River. His popularity was his ruiu.
He became u hard drinker, and in drunk.
EN- passion shot and killed his former em-
ployer, who had dismissed him OH aecount
of his habits. Ho was easily found guilty
less than four months after the crime, and
was sentenced to die four months later.
sClitfOrds friends contributed large sums
to make fight for his life aud when their
pocketbooks were exhausted, they gave
baseball games and entertainments by
which mnre money was raised. In addi-4
tion to Pershall, the original counsel, the
services of State Senator ID. DAILY, now q
Congressman; Warren Dixon. an ener.
getic lawyer, and former Attorney Gsn-
eral John p. Stockton were secured with
in the last year
On February last, tho day before the
condemned man was to de- Justice Gray
of the highest court in the land, was
persuaded that Clifford might have be-
come insane, a it was urged, and granted
u reprieve until the case could be heard in
the United States Supreme Court.
On February 8, counsel for Clifford, ap.
piled to Justice Gray Of this city, for an
appeal on the ground that the Now Jersey
Court had erred in not allowing the guess
tion of Clifford's mental condition to be
settled by jury Tho appeal was grant

THE KILLING
OF BIRDS.
Detectives Will Watch the
Shipment Of Birds
From Milford.

Tho Game Protective Association will
seud Detectives to Milford to look aftor
the shipment OF birds to Now York. The
wholesale slaughter Of birds In Delaware
has attracted attention to ali parts Of the
country. Protesting letters have been
received from humane societies and hu-
mane people in all parts. President A.

ing tho following one from tho Deplrt-
msnt Of Agricnturo:
'Dear Sir: | enclose for your informa-
tion clipping just received from tho
secretary OF the Pennsylvania Audubon
Society which states that n contract has
beon made with certain residents of Mil.
ford, Dol, to supply 10000 birds within
two months for tho millinery trade. Can
yen give me any information as to
whether this report is correct? And if SO,
cannot your association take steps to pre-
vent such wholesale slaughter of bids!
You noI leo that tho article states thn5
while the contract is supposed to be strict
ly within the law in calling for owls,
blackbirds, seagulls, red winged black
birds and crows. it is understood that
higher prices will be paid for skins Of
other species.
in this connection desiro to call yonr
attention to the law of 1891, volume CNlX,
chapter 1877, which imposes u ponalty of
$50 for each robin shipped ou' Of the state
of Delaware; also to Tho following section
OF the Revised s atues protecting insec-

referred to in II letter to Mr.. Poole. which
protects certain birds. The letter then
continues

ADJUSTMENTS.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
THOMAS f. SHEA.

At the Opers House last evening
Thomas e. Shea and his company
appeared in "The ManO-wars
Man to good house. The piece
was well given. The scenery was
excellent, the naval battle berg
particularly good.
Thomas Z. Shea has always had
success in procuring plays with
startling and sensational finales,
and the close of the last act Of the
"Slaves of Sin" is no exception.
The last act, showing an earth
quake, and the eruption of the vol
cano Nesuvius in action. is the acme
of a stage realization, and mechanic
cal art. This scene rivals in its
wierd and Internal beauty the great
Brocken scene in Sir Henry Irvlngs
production of "Faust, ,and will be
produced this afternoon at the
Opera House. Tonight "A Tale
Of Two Cities will be given.

A THIRD HAND.
Barry Pain Says That Is One OF the
Needs of Man.

Barry Pain Says That Is One OF the
Needs of Man.
When nature gave us two hands she
gave us all that was wanted at the time,
but we have moved on, and nature has
remained stationary. We have the troll
ley cal. to take us down town. We carry
with us hat (Which blows off when there
is slight breeze and is ruined by n
shower of rain, an umbrella to protect
the hat and a small black bag containing
papers. On our way back we have in ad-
dition in another bag piece of fish which
we have purchased in the market and are
taking home to our residence. Laden with
these impedimenta we attempt to board
car in motion.
At first sight it would appear that one
hand Is necessary to catch on to the rail,
another hand to secure the hat. another
hand to hold the black bag and another to
hold the fish bag But this is not so in
practice. One hand can satisfactorily ac.
count for a black bag, an umbrella and
a fish basket. The trouble begins when
we try to hold on the hat with the same
hand with which we are gripping on to
the rail. And in the case of the two
handed man this happens every day. As
at present constructed, we lose our hat or
our balance, or both. Ihe third hand
would make all secure.
Go down at midday and enter any Of
the popular restaurants, and you will be
faced at once with the great luncheon diff.
fculty. There is a long counter and a
number of men seated at it on high stools.
The counter itself is crowded, and there
are many waiting for their chance at it
and wasting valuable time. Now, there
is room and to spare, but not against the
counter.
The third hand h!ots out all the difficult
ties of the rush luncheon at once. The
third or middle hand spread out fiat
would hold the plate on which was tho
cut from the joint. The right hand
would hold the knife and the left the
fork, ms now. Tho counter could be re.
moved entirely, thus giving more space.
Every man would be his own counter.
When the human race first started with
the original couple, there was plenty Of
room, and two hands sutticed, but in the
crowded condition Of the metropolitan
luncheon the third hand, to hold the
plate, has become necessity. Having
