Rockville cor. Hartford Times: Sher- iff-eIect A. Palmer Dickinson, who will become the sheriff of Holland county June 1, has already had many applications for the position of jailer of the county jail ill Holland and for deputy in the various towns. There have been many applica- tions for the position of jailer, as this has been one of the best appointments in the county of recent years. The jailer has been paid $1, ,OOO year, and the county boards the jailer and family, furnishes him house and barn free of charge, and also a man and woman servant. The taller also controls the stage route be- tween Holland and Rockville. The posi- tion, at a low estimate, has been consider ed worth $2,O0O year for the past four years. This is a much larger sum than is paid by the town of Windham and oth- CT counties, where there are many more prisoners to care for. Among the appli- cants for the position are Policeman Helm of Stafford Springs, John A. Brown and Mir. Edgerton of Holland. It is generally expected that Superintendent Talbot of the childrens county home in Vernon will be appointed. Sheriff-elect Dickin- son will not make his appointments until some time in May.

TAILORS LOCKED OUT.
Fifteen Thousand Men in New
York and Suburbs Idle.
THE TASK SYSTEM INVOLVED.
FEEDER alton of Labor Meets in Cincin-
natl I'm 1895 The Tobacco
Trust Boycotted.

New York, Dec. f6.--Tonight about 1900
tailors in this city, Brooklyn and Jersey
City are locked out. There are 1e5 shops
in the employers association. and of this
number eighty-three have posted the new
card. and the rest are expected 10 follow
within a few days. Twenty thousand
workmen may be involved, for that is the
number controlled by the Brotherhood OF
Ta!lors in the three cities named. The
varying stories of the two opposing fac
tons relate both TO the cause and mean
ing of the stand made by the contractors.
The strikers insist that the move of the
contractors is an attempt TO return TO the
old task system. This, they claim. means
that the contractor becomes virtually the
judge TO what constitutes a days work.
He gives an employee, for instance, ten
garments TO do per day, and he has to do
them in order to get credit for a days
work, regardless of the time il may take
him. The contract which the employers
signed last summer provided that the
hands should work ten hours a day that
they should have their own chairman.
who really acted as chief tfmekeeper. in
each shop, and that a delegate of the
union should have the privilege of exam
lining into the condition OF each shop once
month, he being allowed fifteen minutes
for the work. For the faithful compli-
ance with these conditions the contractors
gave bonds in the sum OF 800 for each
machine. This sudden action of the
bosses in locking out their employees is
said by the latter TO be unwaTranted, and
in fact a great surprise to them. They
have kept 10 the agreement strictly, they
say, and only desire now 10 be given an
opportunity 10 continue to do SO.

Mrs. Charlotte Smith, of Boston, president
of the Woman's Rescue League. who told
of the position in the industrial world of

Aftpvupt To Murder. n Girl

Harrisburg. Or, Dec. 16.-An unknown
assassin attempted 10 murder Mss Ethel
Riddle, aged 10 here Saturday night. The
girl lives w4,A her uncle. George Hender-
son, and after supper she had washed the
dishes and stepped ont of the back door
10 throw out a painful of water. when
81 was seized by a man IN the darkness,
who stabbed her in the neck and across
the wrists. She broke away and ran
screaming toward the house. Mrs. Hen
derson, hearing her screams, ran to the
door, when her assaiant fed. The ply
stefan who was summoned found the girls
wounds not dangerous. the cash in her
neck having just missed an artery. Twice
before recently Mss Riddle says she has
been the victim of an attempted assass-
nation. having been fired upon in the
darkness but her relatives would not be-
lieVe 1t, saying she was only frightened
at some prom!scuous shooting. Her as
sailant was not recognized in the dark
ness. and the only theory as to the cause
OF the attempted murder is that the deed
was prompted by the Jealousy Of re-
jected sutton. The young lady bears an
excellent reputation.

Furs for Christmas Cheap.

1t is generally conceded that this season
the general tendency in choosing holiday
gifts Is TO select something that Is useful
and appropriate. Nothing more satisfac-
tory as a gift to a lady could be selected
than a nice fur garment. Fine furs of ev-
cry description can be obtained a most
satisfactory prices from r. PetkovitZ. Ma
ron street, between Front and Second
streets. He is offering extremely hand
some fur garments made up in the very
latest and best styles at extremely low
figures. Fur garments purchased a this
establishment viii last for years. being OF
the best quality. The selection shown is
the most extensive to be found on the Pa
cifc coast outside OF San Francisco. Holi-
day buyers should make It a point TO ex-
anime this stock and select something from
1t. as il Is doubtful Il good furs VIII soon
again be offered at such low figures.
