indictments that fines aggrcgatng $3.50

THE NEW JAIL.
site Not Selected but Building Will
he n Good One.


The Chittenden county jail commits
sioners, Thomas Reeves of this city,
IT, @. Nichols OF Richmond and j. w.
Lavigne Of Colchester, met at the coun-
ty clerks office Saturday afternoon to
consider the matter of a site for the
proposed new Jail The commission
has not yet declared whether the new
structure will be located on the pres
ent site on Main street or elsewhere
If the present property can be disposed
of at its proper value and a more fav-
orable site obtained at another point,
such a change may be made.
The commission proposes to be in
shape to start the work of construct
ing the new Jail as soon az the weather
and the conditions of the ground will
permit. 1t is practically decided that
tho building. wherever located, will be
after the style of the Jail at Richmond,
staten Island. This was one of the
jalls visited and it Is considered a mo-
del. The proposed jail for this county
will be built of brick. two stories in
height and will accommodate from 10
to so prisoners. The building will be
so constructed that it can be enlarged
and extended when conditions require
greater capacity.
The Jail will have n double corridor
and to further guard against the es-
cape of prisoners all of the grating
and cell fixtures will be tool proof.
The Jail will contain a hospital room
and a visitors booth, this latter being
Il distinctly new feature which has
proved to be of great advantage where
it has been installed. The apartments
for the men will be entirely distinct
from those for the women prisoners.
The commissioners will have at their
disposal a five per cent. assessment on
the grand list for three years. This
will amount to about S35 900.

governor sent to administer affairs in this gar
rison village, who came from the southern province
of kirman consequently as the carpet or rug max
ing was a palace industry conducted under the gov
ernors patronage they became known as Herman
shahs, kirman-shahs or Kirmans
To-day in the palace of the provincial governors
are still made many Of the higher grade Herman
shahs and the traditions delineated in the handi-
work of the old time weavers are sharply defined in
the kirmans of to-day which come from the sur
rounding mountain villages. Not only are the orig
inal designs closely followed but the shape of the
rugs themselves remain practically the same
KIRMANsHAH RUGS cling closely to floral
effects which certain characters notably the pear,
is suggestive of the Mosus and ranan yet its shape
and elaboration distinctly marks it a HERMAN
SHAH.
Many KERMANSHAHS display singular ar
rangcment of patterns. The pears for instance in
stead of being arranged in rows appear to be trained
vines, running dagonally across the field and
each figure surrounded by some floral design The
colors exceedingly rich and exceptional skill is
displayed in the shadings.
The peculiar knot Of the KERMANSHAH
weave is TURKISH while the sides are overcast with
dark brown wool after the custom of most Kurdish
Rugs.
The Medallion design is noticeable among every
showing of Kermanshah Rugs. Flowers trees birds
landscapes and human figures are found in the Kir-
man carpetings displaying much originality of de-
sign and bold delineation.
The very exceptional quality of the white wool
of the Kirman sheep permits brilliancy of color
ing not obtained in other sections of Persia There
are in existence to-day rugs of Krman make which
bear date far back 291S though it is well I'M
derstood that their manufacture art through
out Persia centuries before.
