Is SURE OF SUCCESS
Herbert S. HadIey, the Man Who is
Filling Governor Folks Old Place,
Thinks Roswell a Good Place to
Live Several Other Visitors of
Distinction Here Today.

Roswell is today entertaining
among them being Governor George
Curry, who arrived last night from
Santa Fe and will be here until to-
morrow morning, when he leaves for
Washington, D. c., on business of
state. He came to Roswell to attend
the annual inspection of the Military
Institute, which was held this morn
ing, and is described elsewhere in
this issue, and to talk with some of
the leading business men on the mat
ington.
Said Governor Curry to a Record
reporter this morning: Il am going
to Washington to work for an appro-
priation of 100000 for a federal
building for Roswell, for an increase
of s10O 900 in Albuquerque's appro-
priation, and for an appropriation for
the National Irrigation Congress at
Albuquerque next fall. OF all these
appropriations you are probably most
interested in the appropriation for
Roswell, and 1 will say that l am al
most sure that you will get it. If Ros-
well doesn't get its appropriation for
the federal building 1 will present
you with box of cigars"

ors is Attorney General Herbert S.

Piano Recital.

The piano recital given by the jun
ior pupils of Mrs. MacKay's class Sat
urday afternoon was attended by an
interested audience of good size.
Taking the program as a whole it
could be justly said to be superior to
any of the recitals before given by
the class.
Even the younger pupils displayed
quite knowledge of rythm and tech
nique.
Some Of the numb bers were render
ed with artistic spontaneousness of
expression, showing skill of guidance
on the part of Mrs. MacKay, also tai
ent and work on the part of the pu-
pills. Miss Rabb's Interpretation of
song was decidedly musical and add
ed much to the program.
Roswell is indeed fortunate in Sc
curing so capable and conscientious
a teacher.

In a running comment and report
of the committee meeting, the Santa
Fe correspondent of the Albuquerque
Journal says:
Roswell successfully landed the
convention. which becomes very i'm
portant in view of the fact that there
will be but the one. n taking the
convention to the Pecos Valley the
Democrats are showing what is con-
sidered to be very good judgment. II
Mr.. Larrazolo is to be the candidate
it is understood the Pecos Valley will
need some placating, for they are said
over there to have expressed a strong
desire for H., B. Ferguson, of Albu
querque, and for other candidates
who, it is held. would poll a heavier
portion of the vote il the eastern
country than Larrazolo is thought to
command, ,a-14r f--- - .-ss-.-f -.
Then, too, the Republican conven-
tion at Silver City. in naming the del
egates to the national convention,
passed over the Pecos valley with
publicans had a candidate for a seat
on the delegation. No Republican con
veltfoRs> will be held on the east
ern side of the territory, and the Dem
ocrats, it is understood, propose to
go into their own stronghold in an
1t is also understood that Larrazolo
in the. event OF his nomination, pro
poses to spend a lot of time in the
Pecos Valley so that the people may
meet him and get acquainted.
Aside from the fixing of the joint
convention date and the event Of ap-
proval of Mr.. Larrozolo's candidacy
by the committee, the most import
ant feature of the meeting was the
passage of a resolution in which the
committee fatty declares for Bryan
for President. There was serious OBJ
lection in the committee to the pass
age of the resolution, 1t is under
stood, not because of any opposition
to Bryan's candidacy, but because of
that time-worn Democratic principle
and has no right to put the party on
record. The meeting was for the most
part entirely harmonious, and the
members profess to feel an encourage
ment over the situation which certain
ly should point to a hot campaign.
Indeed several of the committeeman
are already figuring out majorities.

When o Bank Of England note re-
turns to the bank it is never re-
issued, says Tit Bits. 1t is cancelled
by having the signature of the chief
cashier torn Of. A days signatures
thus detached often amount to a
weight Of twenty pounds, so some
idea may be gathered Of the enor-
nous quantity Of notes dealt with
in a days business. After the sig
natures are torn of the notes are
pricked of in the register and sort
ed into the dates Of issue. They
are than placed in boxes in the
vaults, where they are kept for FIVE
years, after which they are burned
in furnace placed in q courtyard.
Every morning at Z o'clock this fire
is lighted, and the notes which were
received at the bank five years pre-
viously are consigned to the flames,
100000 notes being consumed in
this manner every week.

Old British BattIeshIps.

A writer in the Manchester Guard
ian has just pointed out that the Brit
ANNA, which has recently joined the
fleet at Gibraltar, is only the fourth
English battleship of that name. The
first was built in Charles Ills reign,
about the time that he also introduced
the Britannia into our coinage, as the
Office Window remarked few days
ago. The second Britannia fought at
Trafalgar; the third in the Black sea
in 1854, since when we have had no
ship of that name until now. An ole
list of ships of the queens navy, made
in 1875, should suggest some new
names to us now. The Bonaventure
was one. There was the Elizabeth
Jonas, "a name devised by her grace
in remembrance of her deliverance
from her enemies, as was the prophet
Jonah delivered from the belly of the
whale" there was the Tiger, SOCIAL
ed of her exceeding swiftness and nira-
bleness, of course" and the Mary
Rose, the Bark of Bullen, the Hand
maid, the Antelope, the White Bear.

information as to extent of fire at

there hadn't been any heating fires
built that day. Supposedly incen-

building and swept down the block
destroying about five buildings all
told; small general merchandise es-
adjustments and restaurants. The
brick drugstore stopped it. Dor
sets building didn't burn any, but
he suffered loss of $500 in broken
buckets and burnt blankets covered

loss was not covered by insurance.

ThsusaWds Of Ysars Age.
It will surprise many persons to
learn that false teeth, gold caps and
filings and dental bridges are by
no means modern creations. Six
thousand years ago and probably
long before the dawn of Greek civ
ilization the skill of the dentist had
reached a high degree of perfection.
Cicero in his treatise ODE Natura
Deorum" ascribes the invention of
tooth drawing to Aesculapius, third
of that name. The first mention of
dentistry, according to the British
Medical Journal, is found in Hip
pocrates, who in several parts of
his writings has a good deal to say
about toothache. From the Phoe-
nicians the art found its way to the
Etruscans. At the international
congress held in Rome in 1900 Pro-
lessor Guerini exhibited several
specimens Of dental art which prov
ed that something very much akin,
to bridge work was practiced in an
cient Italy SO efficiently that it has
lasted thirty centuries.
Artificial crowns have also been
found in Etruscan tombs. Artif-
cial dentures 90 back to a remote
antiquity. DR.. Deneffe states that
in the museum Of the University of
Client there is a set of artificial
teeth found in q tomb at Orvieto
with jewels and Etruscan vases. He
gives their date as from FIVE to six
thousand years before Christ.
In a collection Of antique surgical
apparatus made by DR.. Lambros
there is an artificial denture found
in tomb at Tanagra, near Thebes,
which is believed to belong to the
third or fourth century before the
Christian era. Teeth stopped with
gold have been found in Greek
tombs. In the temple Of Apollo at
Delphi there was, according to Era
sistratus, a nephew Of Aristotle and
physician to Seleucus Nicator, king
Of Syria, 354 B. c., q leaden instru-
ment which was used in the extrac-
ton Of teeth. Obviously an instru-
ment of lead could have been used
only for loose teeth.
In the laws Of the twelve tables
made by the Roman decemvirs in
$50 B. G. it was expressly forbidden
to bury or burn gold with dead bod
les except when used for wiring the
teeth. In the construction Of false
teeth recourse was had BY the an
clients to bone and horn. Some
times human teeth were employed.
Benzoni found in some mummies
artificial teeth made Of sycamore.
In the first century Of our era false
teeth were very common among the
Romans.
Dentistry shared in the decay of
the arts during the middle ages,
and We read that when st. Louis
died in 1870, although he was only
ffty-fve, he had but one tooth in
the upper jaw. French surgeons,
notably Ambrose Pare, took a lead
ing part in the revival of dentistry.
Louis XIV.'s dentist used only in
struments Of gold in operating on
the teeth Of his august patient.
From the time Of Pare onward the
highest dentistry was in the hands
of surgeons, extraction being left TO
BARRIERS and Quacks.

Flat doors.

eff one could live on odors alone,' .
said Mr.. Flatdweller, cit WOULDN'T
cost much to live in flat.
''For there's no odor of cooking
known that you can't smell here.
The dumb waiter shafts and the va
rious holes through floors and cell
ings for steam and water pipes seem
to make the whole building a sort
of universal smell conductor in
which no cooking odor is lost, in
which all odors come to all.
"And so if anybody in the build
ing has roast turkey we know that,
but so, alas, do we know it full well
if anybody has corned beef and cab
bage or onions or fish. There is,
indeed, surfeit of odors, and, as ]

''Tote" is good English on higher

THE STORY OF KHAKI.
A Lasting Dye That Was Discovered
by Accident.

ny ACCIDENT.
Khaki, the olive colored canvas
cloth worn by soldiers in hot eli
mates, owes its present use to a
lucky accident, as is the case with
many inventions. This cotton stuff
has been worn in India by British
troops for many years. It's tint was
a greenish brown, but it always fad
ed when it was washed with soap.
A business man from Manchester
while travelling in India CHANGED to
enter into conversation with an
English officer, who remarked care
lessly that the first manufacturer
who could produce a cotton drill
that would not fade would make his
fortune.
The young Englishman never for
got this hint. He came home, found
a skillful dyer and with him began
the search for an olive dye which
when used on cotton cloth would
not yield to soap or soda. They
spent years in these experiments, all
of which proved fruitless.
One day they found among sew
eral scraps of dyed cloth one which
retained its color under the most
severe tests. The puzzling fact was
that it had been cut from the same
piece of cloth and subjected to the
same processes as the other scraps,
all of which faded. The two expert
mentors were greatly perplexed and
for months tried in vain to solve
the riddle. The one little fragment
of khaki was the only one which
kept its color against all attacks.
BY chance one day they found
that the dye in which this scrap had
been dipped had remained for
time in metal dish Of a peculiar
kind. The secret was found. The
metal of the dish in combination
with the chemicals Of the dye had
furnished the one thing needful.
They tried the experiment with 9th
er pieces. The dye held, and their
fortunes were Chicago Rec
