A PERFECT MEMORY. jr | Possessor Prevented the Upward \ Movement of Army Officers Until he Himself Was Made a Lioutenant. x Columbia Record. Washington, Nov. 2.?\A remnrkatble instance of a practically absolutely perfect numnory has been discovered in the army. For many months <5 promotions from the grade of second lieutenant to that of, first lieutenant have been stopped by the case of J Lieut. George C. Rockwell, of Kansans. So notable has the case ber' come in army circles that young i't Rockwell was dubbed the "Key Log j Lieutenant", as, like the key log in I a jam, he has prevented the movement upward of the entire list of . second , nontenants. Lieutenant Rockwell was graduated from the high school at Junction City, 1 Kansas, and, after service in the A ranks, took nn examination for a M commission and was a>ppoiffted a second lieutenant in the army.

An examination of liis papers indicated that his answers to question* were not only correct, but they were what is known as "letter perfect." It was found that he had followed the text of tile hooks of instruction .so absolutely, not omitting the cross of a 1 or the dot of an i, that the examiners were convinced he had had access to the hooks during the examinat ion. Such a situation of course, could not be overlooked. Those who had conducted the examination were positive young Rockwell could not have used "ponies' in the lest, but the examiners of the papers could not understand how a human being could follow possibly the text books so accurately, without making a slip somewhere. Lieut. Rockwell was summoned be fore another board of examiners That board put him through all sort* of tests, with a view to determining definitely whether he was as good as liis original -papers indicated. Tin members were dumbfounded by the exhibition of memory the young mar yave them. He could begin anywhere in a text-book and quote aibsoluteh perfectly"1 lie sentences of the author lie possessed a letter-perfect knowledge of the text of all books he had studied. His memory did not fail him at a single test, although he wn? tried in every conceivable way. It finally was determined by the examining officers that Lieutenant Hock-well simply was equipped witli an astonishing memory, which enabled liini to retain, with no appreciable difficultv everything he desired to reinem-lvr. T'<e hoard reported tr t|w> v.i- h | ihnt' Lieutenant I? >r l-> <-t| w:i respect < eligible to nrom :<n 1 !' :?l there had not been the slightest irregularity in hi? original examination. Only a day or two ago the department published the list of promotions which had been held up since early in the present year by the "Key Lop Lieutenant." Tn promoting Rockwell the department ordered his commission as first lieutenant to date from Tcrbuary 14, 1007, the day lie took the examination and he now is assigned to the Thirteenth infantry The promotion of Rockwell brings about the promotions of about thirty second lieutenants whose advancement has been delaved by this most remarkable case which ever has been known in the armv.

II a red i us of 50 miles wi i i '.mvc at tin new Harris theatre last . t 'veiling, ami the only regret was that the audience was not large. Tne singing and the specialty acts were bettor than any ever given in this city be. fore by a minstrel aggregation. Tlie house was kept in a continual t'oar . ol' laughter, which was their seal of : approval to all that I hoy saw and , heard. The show was tirst class in every particular, and there was no . suggestion of the coarse or vulgar . either in song or .joko. Among those songs that were most highly appreciated were, "What Will j Your Answer He?" by Mr. Guy .lohn | son; "You'll Have to (let Oft' and I Walk," by Tommy Donnelly; "When Bob White is Whistling in the jMea! d?>w," by Roose Williams, and the old reliable, " Kvory Little Hit Added to i What You Got Makes a Lirtle Bit More," by (low Bowen. The sing. ing was of that kind that eharaclori[ /.ck the 'first class minstrel show, that . leads one in reverie back to the old . home and back to the old friends. As the sweet-voiced singers sang the audience was thrilled wijjh that delight that is awakened only by the memories of the past when clothed in the ?1 rhetoric of melody. jj "Col. Roise Volt" and his regij'ment of "Georgia Blues" fforded a .1 great deal of amusement. Tommy , Donnelly has impersonated Roose, volt so many years that he is a re> vised edition of the president ol. the United States. Ho is pleasantly remembered in the Teddy Bear spccial[ tv when the company played here I last, season. 4 ; Tuscano Brothers, the Roman battle-axe jugglers, gave :i perlornianee , the like of which lias never boon done in the south before this season. l Willi sharp stool battle axes they did juggling stunts that were nothing short of juggling with death. But I their nerves were of stool, and the , axes always flew true to the mark. A variation of a hair's breadth meant , a ter'-ible wound, but they hurled them through the air with such lightning . like rapidity that they did not have time to vary a scintilla. It was a most daring norfonnancc, and the j house applauded freely as each crisis passed. . I Taken all in all, Donnelly and Ilat(ictd have a good show. Their burnt | cork artists are spccialtists of the, , high class, their musicians and singers arc true brothers of harmony and their acrobats and jugglers are without poors.?Spartanburg, S.
