1T WAS NOT JUDGE POPE.
Judge Mann, of the Sixth District, En-
tiers Vehement Denial of Report
That is Current in Texas

Judge Mann, of the Sixth District, En-
tiers Vehement Denial of Report
That is Current in Texas.
General indignation is felt among
the friends of Judge VIM. H. Pope,
of this city, because of the report in
various Texas newspapers that it
was he who performed the ceremony
that married a white man to a ne
gress in this city some weeks ago.
Judge Pope is now on a honeymoon
trip, having been recently married
near his old home in Atlanta, Ca.
and today Judge Edward A. Mann
of Alamogordo, judge of the Sixth
district, who is here holding court
in Judge Pope's place, today gave
the following interview to the Rec
ord:
II notice that some of the Texas
papers commenting upon the recent
marriage of a certain white gamble,
of this city to a negro woman, state
that the ceremony was performed by
Hon. VIM II. Pope, Associate Justice
of the New Mexico Supreme Court
and presiding Judge of this district,
and that some unfavorable comment
has been made concerning Judge
Pope in the matter
'tOf course in New Mexico. where
Judge Pope is so well and favorably
known, no one would believe such a
report, but In Texas the report might
and apparently does obtain some ere
dence. I, therefore. want to most
emphatically deny that Judge Pope
had anything whatever to do with
the marriage ceremony mentioned.

Gighty-two hundred Chinese students
resignation of Yuzuru Kubota, presi-
dent of the Imperial University, by
Prime Minister Katsura, have re-
solved to return to China. Two thou
sand have already left this city. The
manifesto issued by these students
is decidedly antagonistic to the Man
chu dynasty.
(11:30 p. m)-The tardiness in
the conclusion of negotiations at Pc
kin between representatives of the
governments of China and Japan is
causing uneasiness here among the
Chinese residents 1t is feared that
Baron Komura, who represents ia
pan, made some proposition, which
is viewed in the light of another hui
niliation by China.
Toxic, (2:0O p. m) Dec. 14-The
difference which exists between the
Imperial University and the govern
nent apparently has been settled by
the acceptance of the resignation Of
President Yuzuru Kubota by Premier
Katsura, who now takes up the port
folio. The designations rendered by
other professors have not been ac-
cepted. The fact that no disciplinary
| measures have been taken against
these professors is deemed by those
well informed an avowal of defeat

Spread of Christian Endeavor.

The Young Peoples Society For
Christian Endeavor was twenty five
years old in 1904, and it's founder, the
Rev. DIR. +. E. Clark, says that was
one Of its most prosperous years. 1t
has thriven amazingly during its CON-
paratively short career and now has
65,327 societies all told, with an aggre-
gate membership Of 100000. In Eu-
rope the number of societies doubled
last year, and there are now about 500.
The order has extended into China and
Japan. In the latter country ten differ
ent denominations are united In the as
ISOLATION, the Presbyterian leading. In
Ola has over 500 societies. There Is one
In Jerusalem. The Armenians have
taken 1t up. Persia reports forty asso-
Citations, Syria twenty, Korea about
dozen, and they are scattered here and
there throughout Africa wherever mis-
sionary efforts have extended. It Ia
firmly rooted In Australia, and last
year the Junior rally in Melbourne
called together 10000 boys and girls,
with their fathers and mothers.

Signatures of the Future,

The time will probably come when
the natural signature, the impression of
| the thumb Or finger tip, will be widely
used for purposes Of Identification. If
the thumb be lightly pressed upon a
surface smeared with printing ink and
then pressed upon clean paper an i'm
preston is obtained which Is distinc-
tive for the particular individual who
owns the member No two thumbs or
fingers are alike in the arrangement
Of their multitudinous lines. Each,
therefore, Is seal which Is unique
and seal which cannot readily be mis-
laid or lost The French police use this
test to assure themselves Of the identi-
ty OF prisoner, but surely the system
could be usefully extended. A news
paper correspondent who recently
pleaded for such an extension of the
thumb mark test stated that once when
abroad he was in great straits for
money, although he held checks for
considerable amount, simply because
he could not prove his identity. If the
local banker had only had an impress
sion Of his finger tip as we'll as au-
thority to pay all difficulty would at
once have vanished.

WOODS FOR FURNITURE.

| Objections to Oak and Rosewood
and Walnut's Day Is Gone.
Some OF the best cabinptmakers are
chary of working in oak. Really old
and well seasoned oak is hard to get
| and harder to work.
There Is no great quantity of old oak
| furniture in the market. and old pieces
that would supply large enough lumber
for important work are seldom found.
! New kiln dried oak is uncertain, being
| liable to warp and crack.
Paneled articles can be made Of such
| material with some safety. but large,
| solid articles are likely to give q bad
| account Of themselves at the enu 0. a
winter In steam heated house.
Rosewood also the best cabinetmak-
| ers distrust. This wood has peculiar
ly oily quality that makes 1t uncertain
when glued. For this reason rosewood
Is used chiefly as a veneer Thin sheets
lose much of their oil and take glue sat
isfactorily.
Solid rosewood furniture is hard to
find. Rosewood veneer Is placed upon
cherry or even pine, and 1t IS not IN
common to find that the pine under
meath has cracked and In doing SO has
split the veneer. Such defect Is
sometimes cured by the use of paste,
but sooner or later the gap reappears.
Native walnut Is no longer favorite
with the cabinctmakers. This wood
was in effect exhausted a quarter Of a
century ago or more, and it is now as
expensive as mahogany and by no
means SO beautiful. French walnut Is
still used for g1nstOcks because Of Its
relative lightncsS, durability and beau
ty. Circassan walnut Is also imported
and used much in interior decoration.
Chestnut Is Il good deal priced, not for
furniture, but for wainscoting and for
doors. 1t Is sometimes put up In the
rough with good effect and sometimes
oiled and polished, when it is remarka-
bly, beautiful. considering the cost.
Gulf cypress is usel with great effect
in like fashion, and when filled and
oiled it makes one of the most beauti-
full Of woods for inexpensive interior
decoration.
Cherry was the Old substitute for ma.
hOgany, and 1t IS still favOrite wood
with the furniture makers. 1t Is, how
ever, not easily obtained in a properly
seasoned condition, for proper season
ing makes it expensive
The fact Is that with cherry, as with
oak and mahogany, the seasoning is an
important element of cost The cabi-
netmaker who must sink his capital
for two or three years in wood that is
undergoing the process of seasoning
finds 1t hari to compete with those who
use kiln dried material
Some Of the latter is seasoned in a
very few weeks. 1t looks we'll, and it
stands until the test of changing at
conditions is applied, when
1t shows its weakness.
Mahogany IS the favorite syood with
the best cabinetmakers. There is a
vast amount Of seasoned mahogany to
be had from ruinous old articles made |
In the last century, when the rage for
was well developed. and, |
while the new mahogany Is less beauti- |
full than the old, purchasers Of furni- |
turc seem to have learned that it is |
worth while to have the new wood we'll |
