JERSEY CRY, Feb. 9.-Edward CHI
ford, who while intoxicated murdered
sup.. Watson, of the West Shore Rail-
way because he discharged him, will
be hanged in Hudson county Jail here
tod,y. Clifford's death sentence has
been reported several times but the
court of pardons recently refused to in

most cold.blooded. Clifford who is a
giant in stature had for years been en-
ployed as "a detective on the railroad
when he fell into bad habits and took t.
drink. He was warned, discharged and
the murder followed. James X. Irjwr
who shot and killed Policeman Charles
Gebhard in Hoboken, has been sen
fenced To execution Oh the same day
with Clifford, and the two hangings
will follow in close succession.

Probably the ugllest beast IN the
world is a monkey, a grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
This is so utterly grotesque a beast
that 1t would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see Il. The
ugllness is not OF an amusing kind. but
OF an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has a sort OF beard and a countenance
unlike anything else In shape and lines.
The monkey itself is not particularly
savage. but is so hldeous that the na-
tiyes OF its country, South America.
say that no beast OF prey, however
hungry, will tackle II. Even hungry
jaguar will starye In a cageful Of sakls.
