P"ENITENTIARY MATTERS.
The New Warden's Plans to Proftably En-
ploy Oonvicts.

Hon. H. 0. Bursum, the new warden
of the penitentiary, who has ben in the
city some days, has returned to Socor-
70 temporarily. His bond has been pre-
pared and will be submitted to Judge
McFie at al early day. The property
at the penitentiary is being inventoried,
and the inventory will be verified at
the next meeting of the commissioners.
Mr.. Bursum has not made an APP
pointment of a deputy superintendent,
and there is as yet no certainty as to
whom he will name as his assistant.
The statement to the effect that he had
appointed Hon. w. e. Martin, of So
zorro, to the position, is premature, and
not based on fact. Mr.. Martin may be
appointed, but he has not yet been.
What changes Mr.. Bursum contem-
plates when he takes charge are I'M
known. He stated to a representative
of the New Mexican yesterday that he
was considering all these matters, but
thought it best to go slowly for the
present. He has not yet quite arranged
his private affairs preparatory to TAX
ing charge of the prison.
The New Mexican believes that the
business ability, energy and honesty of
Mr.. Bursum will prove him the right
man in the right place. There is a
great deal of chance for improvement.
and Mr.. Bursum, it looks, will bring
much improvement about.
The new warden is giving active
tuition less costly to the public, and
some Of his ideas are likely to develop
good results.
1t is his aim to employ as many of the
convicts as possible at some labor that
will bring financial returns, and thus
offset part Of the expense, and yet not
involve an outlay of money for a work.
ing plant. One of the plans Mr.. Bur-
sum has in view contemplates the a
ufacturing of harness on an extensive
scale. He believes that he al induce
an eastern manufacturer, who has an
extensive trade in the southwest, to
put in a local branch, cheap labor being
the inducement. There are now in use
machines that cost but little hat can
sew all of the harness that six or eight
cutters can supply. The saving to the
manufacturer in wages and freight on
the manufactured goods would be con-
siderable. If some of the %convicts could
be leased at so cents per day, the COM
pensation would go a long way to re-
duce the expenses of the institution.
The men could easily learn to do the
work, and their labor would not be in
competition with any considerable num-
Der of citizens of the territory. In the
course of time a local tannery might
treat the hides to be used, so that these
would not have to be brought in from
the east.

countant, in connection with the case Of
the Territory VS.. Francisco Chavez ct
AL, in the district court of Santa Fe
county; and that under such employ
ment he has rendered services in as
sisting the prosecution in said case,
which are reasonably and justly
worth $500; and whereasthe board is
unable, out of the current expense funds
Of this county, to discharge the said
claim Of r. Wagner or pay off the same;
now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the validity of said
claim, the due performance of said Ia
Dor, and the reasonable value thereof
is said sum of $500, be, and the same is
hereby recognized by this board, to be
paid out of any funds recovered in the
said case of the Territory VS.. Francisco
Chavez ct al, on the final termination
thereof"

 TIRED OF BUYING SOUR ICE.
The Joke Played on a Down Town
 Barber


 The Joke Played on Down Town
 Barber
 A well known down town barber is just now having his life made miser- able by the jibes of his friends over the taking-in of the barber few days ago by wag. It seems that the barber has always kept on hand during the summer time a pitcher of ice water for his customers. He had until recently purchased all his ice from a well known local company and one day last week the wag referred to asked him what kind of ice he bought. The barber told him.
 Well, I am surprised at you," said the joker. Don't you know that - ice gets sour after standing few hours. You must have it fresh or 1t gets SO sour that it is not fit to use. No one gets it's now on that account"
 The next day the regular iceman from whom he had been purchasing called to get the barber's order, but the latter was highly indignant to think that "sour' ice had been palmed off OH him and proceeded to give the ice man fits and swore he would never llse any more of his ice.
 He straightway bargained with another man to deliver his ice and was careful to ask if his ice had any de- cayed spots in it or if it would turn sour
