REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS.

OFFICE OF BOARD OF
 PRISON COMMISSIONERS,
 TERRITORIAL PRISON, {
 YUMA, A. T., April 4th, 1894. To His Excellsncy, Governor L. O..
 Hughes,
 We beg leave to submit our first quarterly report for the first quarter of 1894.
 We find the prison in an excellent condition financially. The cost per capita of maintaining the institution has been less than ever before in the history of the institution. nanoely Q fraction over S6cts.
 The net cost after deductions, labor performed and proceeds sold by the Superintendent. amounts to 74cts per capita, showing the prisoners to have earned during the quarter 12cts each per day.
 We submit that this is most en- couraging sign and an entering wedge to making the prison self sustaining.
 The bids for furnishing supplies for the prison for the ensuing year have been opened and contracts awarded to  the lowest bidders.
 The prices are far lower than those of last year and will show 8 saving of 20 per cent in the total over that of last year.
 We have thoroughly examined the different departments connected with the penitentiary and can assure you of a most perfect condition of the affairs in the executive as we'll as the 1 branches.
 We have made an order instructing the Secretary to advertise for pro- posals for the labor of one hundred l (l00) prisoners within the prison walls, which will he opened at the | next quarterly meeting.
 We recommend the pardon of the following named prisoners to restore citizenship: Ben Martin and Daniel West, whose terms expire April 23rd and John whose term expires May 8th, and George Young whose term expires | August 22nd. We have listened to the applications of a large number of prisoners
 The health of the prisoners is good | and they all appear much better con- tented since work has been allotted to them.
 Tbe food is far better than that supplied to inmates of other penal in- in the Territory and at a cost of l8cts per capita per day.
 The report of the Superintendent and Assistant SuperintendeRt en- bodies a complete statement in detail of the affairs at the, prison and they are made part of this report.
 Much of the successful result as shown in their reports is due to the efficient labor of these officers. and Secretary Trippsl.
 The guard force we do not believe ,an be improved upon.
 All of which is respectfully submit ted.

Four o'clock Thursday morning
 Fred w. Ward, son ot J. L. Ward of Phoenix, died at the resi-
 dence of his brother. Frank Ward
 on Jones street, in the presence ot
 his relatives and friends. He had
 been sick for nearly four months
 and hls death was not unexpected
 He was born in Oakland, Jefferson
 county, Wis, and at the time ol
 his death was nearly 37 years of age. He came to California with bis father in 1873. The following year he and his father crossed the desert to Yuma. The father en- gagged in the freighting business here and put his son in charge. Though then very young man he proved himself an able manager of his fathers interests. Mir. Ward, Sr., continued in this business until the s. F. railroad reached Yuma, when he went to Tombstone, and after his arrival there was elected Sheriff, he appointed his son as his deputy. Again did the son prove himself 8 worthy and efficient officer. Tears were in the, fathers eyes when he said: "No better or more dutiful son to his parents ever lived than Fred was"
 About four years ago the de- ceased came to Yuma and was a guard at the Territorial prison un- til the change of administration took place, when he resigned his position. He bought an in terest in the Two Republics and was the owner of this resort at the time of his death. Two years ago he married, for the second time, an estimable young lady of this vil- lage, and who survives him. His first wife died in California six years ago. One daughter 2 years of age was of this marriage. The little daughter will be cared for by his father.
 Judge c. H. Brinley read the burial services. Go. H, N. G. A :, escorted the remains to the grave and fired the military burial salute 1t the grave. The remains were aid to rest in the Protestant ceme- cry Thursday afternoon.
 MT. Ward had many friends throughout the Territory. who will ,e pained to hear of his demise.
 His father, ex-commissioner If the Territorial prison, and one ,f Arizona's prominent men, has ,een at his sons bedside for the past 13 weeks, and the sad affair so soon after the death i if his wife, which our readers will emember occurred last November n Phoenix, has all but prostrated lim.
 To the lonely and inconsolable widow and sorrowing father, the IENTINEL extends it's heartfelt ympathy, in this their hour of friction.

Few Routine Matters.
Aldermen Copeland. Conley. Quehl
and Jensen were the aDsentees at the
meeting of the board of aldermen last
evening, and consequently but little
business could be disposed of, the ma
jority of the matters being those which
needed twO-third vote to pass
An ordinance passed in July, 1884
making it An often Sc to keep Or MAIN
tain gambling devices under apenalty
of a fine of not less than $40 or more
than 800 with costs. was amended by
an ordinance handed in by AID. Mark
ham. Under decision of the supreme
court the imposing of a fine of more
than s1O0. by the municipal court is
illegal, owing to the Jurisdiction of the
court being limited to that amount.
The ordinance provided for more than
800 fine and was in consequence not
good. The amendment was passed un-
der suspension of the rules.
The ordinances giving the st. Paul Gas
company and the East Side Electric
company the right to erect poles and
string wires in various parts of the city
were reported back by the committee
on gas with the recommendation that
they he indefinitely postponed The re.
port was adopted.
John O'Brien filed claim for ground
rent for an election booth which stood
on his property on Hope street during
1892. The amount he states. had been
paid to some other person, but as he the
property the city should settle again.
The matter went to the committee OIL
claims.
The oath of Office and bond of Walter
B. Boyd as constable were filed and ap-
proved.
The board adjourned to Monday after.

A CHINESE ARCHITECT.

Where the race came from, for 1t is certain
shat they were not the first Inhabitants, takes
ES beyond the footsteps Of history. They came
from the north and west of China proper, and
khe traces and wrecks Of the original inhabit-
pnts are left to show that they destroyed tribes
who occupied the lands before them.
From the earliest time that we can trace
their appearance the Chinese had written char
acters, degree of intellectual and moral Gull
ture and religious beliefs. The moral teaching
and philosophy of Confucius as an index of the
moral and Intellectual status Of the people of
his time are marvellous. AS Chinaman in the
laundry line once told an Italian interested in
Ehe peanut trade and who was boasting of his
Roman ancestry and the glory of Rome which
ruled the worlG: My forefathers ruled the
world VIXEN your ancestors wore rings in their
poseS"
The illustration herewith is Of Wong XII the
architect of the Chinese building an the Co
sumbian exhibition, and is taken from '.Por-
arait Types Of the World" the new art work
which can be obtained by all our readers by
sending six coupons of different dates and ten
tents in money to cover cost of tubing postage,
handling, etc, when the portfolio of Portrait
types of the World" will be sent you gratis.

TURNER'S ENTERTAIN.
Successful Event in the Interests
of the Glass.

of the Glass.
The Gprmania Tnrnverein gave an
exhibition and entertainment last night
that called out fair audience. The
affair was given To raise funds to send
class to New U!m. where the state
Turnerfest taxes place shortly. Turn
master Otto Dreher had charge of the
physical exercises and Paul Zulmbach
of the musical programme. The exhibit
ton by the classes showed careful
training, and deserved all the applause
bestowed upon it. MIR. Dreher is ell.
titled To much credit for bringing about
the satisfactory results in the face of
great difficulties, and this sustains ST.
PauPs standing and reputation in the
State Turner association. g., -:s
1t is the intention 10 take class of
twenty or twenty-five to the state Turn
fest at New Ulm and to keep up the
standard of work in this Turner assoc
citation. The physical culture features
are, as matter of course, first in i'm
portance. 1t is necessary that some
diversion from the ordinary drills should
be mad in order to keep up the general
interest. The intricacies in systematic
work of the association lena a c.!arm to
the exercises when seen by the un-
tutored spectator, and it was gratifying
to spectators last night 70 witness the
proficiency of the general and special
classes in the work.
The gymnastic exhibition embraced a
complete course of exercises for all
classes. These were given in the lower
hall or gymnasium.
The musical division then gave an ell
tertainment in the large hall. This was
! an excellent feature of the evening.
! Fhe chorus singing was quite an inter
esting feature. J. Casper Sauer gave a
| reading from the Merchant of Venice"
The mixed choir sang Mendelssohn's
beautiful song with fine feeling and
expression. The woIk was remarkably
well balanced.
The exhibition by the fencing section
was much enjoyed.

No action was taken yesterday by
Contractor Forrestal to compel Comp
troller McCardy to sign the contract
awarded to him by the board of public
works for the sweeping of Summit ave-
nue.. One of the residents of Summit
avenue called OH the comptroller yes
terday and endeavored to argue the
official into signing the contract. 1t is
needless to say that the argument was
useless.
Yesterday afternoon the board of
public works returned the contract to
the office of the comptroller. with a
short letter. stating that they had
considered the section in the charter
relative to the responsibility of the
bidder outside of the bondsmen in this
as in other contracts awarded by them
The comptroller declined to be inter-
viewed regarding the matter yesterday,
saying that his letter to the board Of
public works explained his position.
