Santa Fe daily New Mexican., 1896-12-19

The care and reclamation OF our Grim
inals is subject that has occupied the
minds of many Of the greatest men
throughout the world. TO err is hu-
man." and since the time when the fall
of Adam in the Garden of Eden caused
us all to be born in sin, the necessity for
prisons as deterrent to, and punish
ment for evil doers, have been universally
recognized. Such institutions are estab-
lished in every state, and many are the
plans pursued. and varied are the poll
cies adopted to secure the best results,
viz, repentance and reformation. Many
are the claims advanced by the boards
of prison directors throughout the Unit
ed States as to the efficiency OF their
policy and the economy of their admin
lstration, but it is only few OF the citi-
zens of our territory and the people OF
the United States who know that New
Mexico possesses the model penitentiary
of America.
1t is located about one mile south OF
the city of Santa Fe, and its buildings
and grounds take up about eleven acres
of land.
The plan on which the buildings are
arranged is convenient for an economical
administration together with constant
supervision of the inmates.
The central or main building contains
the superintendent's apartments, officers
and women's quarters, the armory and
guard room and a fine. bright and COM
modious chapel, the latter being con-
nected with the cell house by means of
draw bridge, which is raised when not
in actual use. The cell house building
is most substantially built and consists
of a heavy stone outer wall with barred
windows, inside of which is a separate
structure containing the cells, which
are arranged in four tiers The cell
rooms are not very large, but they are
airy and we'll ventilated, and the strict
regard for cleanliness which is vigorously
enforced renders them inviting.
A brick addition has been added to
this building, and here are located the
hospital wards, apothecary shop, library

of their crimes on the scaffold, four are
awaiting action on an appeal to the
United States supreme court and the
eleventh committed suicide.
For his able prosecution of these
cases Mr.. Victory has been the recipient
of universal commentator and the re-
suits attained have had salutory effect
upon the lawless element in the terri
tory that will not soon be effaced.
Mr.. Victory owns some of the most de-
sirable real estate in Santa Fe, is inter
ested in mining enterprises and is secre-
tary of the New MEXICAN Printing Com

laundry, store rooms, bakery, bath room
and other offices.
The bath rooms are Colonel Bergman's g
especial pride, for they are on an original
plan. Hitherto the convicts bathed
with the use of bath tubs, which was
tedious and inconvenie mt, but now all is
altered and the room has ten stalls fitted
with shower baths, and the prisoners
now come down and deposit their soiled
linen in the laundry, receive fresh sup
ply and take their bath all in few
minutes.
The grounds are equally we'll arranged
and everything that in ngenuity can devise
for economy, comfort and safety has
been utilized. Colonel Bergman believes
in the truth of the saying that "The
devil finds some mischief still for idle
hands to do," and on that account never
allows the convlcts too much time for
leisure. While it is good policy to pro-
vide them with labor, it is also highly
essential to make their labor means Of
revenue to the territory. The many i'm
provements in and around the peniten-
tiary are all the result of convict labor,
and most notable of these is the fine
wall with watch towers, which now sur
rounds the buildings and feature of
which is the massive and handsome gate
way, surmounted by watch tower and
located in the front of the main building.
Thousands and thousands of brick have
been used in this structure, and the
superintendent can justly point with
pride to the fine work that has been
done.
Another means of occupation is that
of the pottery works, which are gradu.
ally being brought to high standard of
efficiency, and soon this will be the best
paying work of the penitentiary. At
present they manufacture ten-inch vitri-
fed clay pipe, ornamental vases busts,
placques, ETC., and ready market is
found for these in the east. Every effort
is directed to make the institution self
supporting, and all kinds of vegetables
and other produce are raised at little cost.
OCCUPATION, REPENTENCE, REFORMATION.
These are the watch words Of Colonel

city ne won renOWn as an lndlan ngnler
of bravery and skill.
Amado was educated at st. Michael's
college, Santa Fe, and later took bust
ness course at Bryan & Stratton's Busi
ness College in Washington, D. 9. Sub
sequently he attended Georgetown Col
lege, and graduated from the law depart
ment of the National University in 1876,
receiving his diploma from the hands of
the great soldier, President Grant, at
that time ex-officio president Of the uni
versity. .....
For several years Mr.. Chaves filled a
position in the interior department at
Washington, afterwards returning to
New Mexico, where he engaged in stock
raising on his ranch. In 1852 he became
member of the legislative assembly of
the territory. and was honored with the
speakership of the house, position in
which he acquitted himself with great
credit.
In 1891 he was appointed superin-
tendent of public instruction of New
Mexico, being the first to occupy this re-
sponsible station in the educational
affairs of the territory A brief time
served to amply demonstrate his fitness
for the noble work, in which he engaged
with degree of enthusiasm that sur
prised many who could see little room
for improvement in the extremely faulty
system then in vogue. With opportu-
nifty for wider observation and in keen
sympathy with his work, Mr.. Chaves set
about the task with which he had been
entrusted, and in a short time accom-
plished good results. In many respects
it was a difficult work. There were
strong prejudices to overcome in many
quarters. Nevertheless, Mr.. Chaves sue
ceeded in bringing about marked i'm
provement and raising the standard of
education all along the line. He has
accomplished invaluable results in this
direction for the territory and deserves
the gratitude Of all her people, who are
interested in the grand cause Of educa-
ton.

After attending the schools of his native
town, young Victory entered st. James
academy, where he remained for about
year; afterward entering the law firm
of Greenwood & Tucker. In due time
he was admitted to practice at Poukeep-
sic, and the day of his admission was ap-
pointed city attorney Of his native town,
a position which he held for two years.
Resuming private practice in Brooklyn
he remained there until 1866, removing
in that year to New York City, where he
continued at his profession successfully
until 1883,
At this time on account OF failing
health he took up his residence at Santa
Fe, New Mexico, where he has since
lived. Mr.. Victory at once stepped into
profitable clientage. For five years he
was director of the city schools and in
1889 was elected county superintendent
of schools
Mr.. Victory was among the first to
urge the incorporation Of Santa Fe, and
after that event became the first city at.
torney, subsequently serving as member
of the city council. From 1893 to January
1895 he served as assistant secretary of
the territory. In 1894 he was elected to
the legislative council Of the territory,
in which body he did excellent work as
chairman of the committee on judiciary
and also chairman Of the committee on
public instruction and education.
In January, 1895, Governor Thornton
appointed Mr.. Victory as sollcitor-gen-
eral of the territory.
On the 4th of March following he as
sumed office and since that date has
been conspicuous figure among those
to whom theinauguration Of the era of law
and order is due. A man of strict integ-
rity and with the courage of his convic-
tions, Mr.. Victory, with high concep-
ton of the duties of his position as a
moral force, has performed invaluable
service for the territory at large in his
stauch stand for law and order.

gued by him before the supreme court

fendents have already paid the penalty

Bergman's policy, and everything is done
to encourage the convict to live down
his sin and be man. By no means is
he ever allowed to feel that he is "kicked''
out from among his fellow men, but, on
the contrary (for it is ever laid before
the criminal that if he repents of his
crime, alters his ways and resumes the
path of virtue and rectitude AGAIN., he
can still become an honored and valua-
BILE citizen.
Colonel f. H. Bergman, the superin-
tendent, is native of Prussia, where he
received that superior military training
for which that country is noted, being a
lieutenant in the famous Black Hussars
of Prussia. In 1859 he came to the
United States, and in 1861 volunteered
his services to Uncle Sam, serving in the
famous Kit Carson's cavalry and par
ticipating in several battles during the
rebellion and in many Of our Indian
fights.
In 1867 he returned to civil pursuits,
and in 1891 was first appointed acting
superintendent of our penitentiary. With
the exception of one year he has occu-
pied that position ever since, having
been appointed again and again. He is
truly the right man in the right place
Impartial to all, strict but kind, ever

standard of efficiency of the institution
Truly too much credit can not be given
to Colonel Bergman for the work he
has accomplished in such a quiet unos-
tentatious manner, and of him it can
truly be said that

Samuel Eldodt.

The subject of this sketch Mr.. Samuel
Eldodt, is one of the pioneer merchants
of New Mexico, who has played prom
inent part in the commercial develop
ment of the territory, rising by success
i've stages from the station of poor boy
and stranger in strange land, to a
position of wealth, trust, and influence,
commanding one of the highest offices
in the territory, and attaining place of
general worth in the estimation of the
people of New Mexico second to none.
Mr.. Eldodt's life is valuable lesson to
the youth of the territory, teaching as it
does that the most desirable results are
always sure to follow honest, we'll di.
rected effort.
MIR. Eldodt is native of Westphalia,
where as a mere boy he entered a mer-
camille house, remaining there until the
age of seventeen when he came to
America. Two brothers Nathan and Mar
Gus, some years before had establised
themselves in business at Santa Fe, and
to this town the subject of our sketch
made his way on horseback from Hays,
Kansas, at that time (l868) the western
terminus of the Santa Fe railroad.
Soon after arriving at Santa Fe he
obtained place in his brothers store

The result, as was to have been ex-
pected, was the Inauguration of a better
condition of affairs and higher regard
for public trusts involving the custody
of public funds.

and after five years faithful service was
taken into partnership, and put in charge
of a branch store, which was established
about this time at Abiquiu. The bust
ness operations of the firm increased
rapidly and soon after another branch
house was established at San Juan.
In 1882 the firm desolved, Mr.. Samuel
Eldodt taking as his share of the prop
erty the two branch stores that he has
successfully conducted up to the present
time. Some years ago Mr.. Eldodt be-
came interested in wool growing in
which he has been fairly successful.
He also owns fine stock ranch thirty
miles from Santa Fe, and these varied
interests that he has acquired through
industry and enterprise characteristic of
the man, he controls with good judg-
ment
In 1895 he was appointed by Gov.
Thornton treasurer of the Territory of
New Mexico, and as custodian of the
public funds his services have given
universal satisfaction.
He stands high in the Masonic fratern-
ity having attained to the 32nd degree
in the Scottish rite.
Taken altogether, the life of Mr.. Ell
dodt has been one of earnest endeavor
and integrity of purpose, and is well
worthy Of emulation by the young men
of to-day.
