cave at the new Harris theatre last
evening, and the only regret was that
the audience was not large. The sing
ing and the speciality acts were better
THAI any ever given in this city be-
fore by minstrel aggregation. Tne
house was kept in a continual roar
of laughter. which was their seal Of
approval to all that they saw and
heard. The show was first class in
every particular, and there was no
suggestion Of the coarse or vulgar
either in song or joke.
Among those songs that were most
highly appreciated were, "What VIII
Your Answer Be?" by Mr.. Guy John
son; "You1l Have to Get Off and
Walk" by Tommy Donnelly; "When
Bob White is Whistling in the Mea-
dow" by Roose Williams, and the old
reliable, every Little Bit Added to
What You Got Makes Little Bit
More" by Gov. Bowen. The sing
ing was Of that kind that characterl-
zes the,tfrst class minstrel show, that
leads one i'll reverie back ITO the old
home and back to the old friends. AS
the sweet-voiced singers sang the aud
ience was thrilled With that delight
that is awakened only by the memoir
les Of the past when clothed in the
rhetoric Of melody.
"Col. Roise Welt" and MS regi-
ment Of "Georgia Blues" forded a
great deal Of amusement. Tommy
Donaelly has impersonated Roose-
welt so many years that he is a re-
vised edition Of the president Of the
United States. He is pleasantly re-
membered in the Teddy Bear special
ty when the company played here
last season.
Tuscano Brothers, the Roman bat
tle-axe jugglers, gave performance
the like Of which mas never been
done in the south before this season.
With sharp steel battle axes they did
juggling stunts that were nothing
short Of Juggling with death. But
their nerves were Of steel, and the
axes always flew true to the mark
A varia ton Of hairs breadth meant
a terrible wound, but they hurled them
through the air with such lightning
like rapidity that they did not nave
time to vary seintilla. It was q
most darings performance, and the
! house applauded freely as each crisis
passed.
Taken all in all, Donnelly and Hat
field have a good show. Their burnt
cork artists are specialists Of the
high class, their musicians and singers
are true brothers Of harmony and
their acrobats and jugglers are WITH

months ago, after serving IN the
Tenth infantry as a second Aeuten-
ant. he was ordered up for examiaa-
ton for promotion to a first lieuten-
ancv. He passed a brilliant examlna-
tion-in fact,- it was practically per-
fect-and therein came the trouble.
An examination Of his papers iadl-
Gated that his answers 10 questions
were not only correct, but they were
what is known as "letter perfect. 1t
was found that he had followed the
text of the books o:c instruction so alb
solutely, not omitting the cross Of a
or the dot Of an i, that the exam
iaers were convinced he had had ac-
cess to the books during the examlna-
ton.
Such a situation Of course, could
not be overlooked. Those who had
conducted the examination were posi-
tive young Rockwell could not have
used "ponies' in the test, but the ex-
aminers Of the papers could not u1-
derstand how a human being could
follow possibly the text books so ac-
curately, without making a slip some
where.
Lieut.. Rockwell was summoned be-
fore another board of examiners.
That board put him through all sorts
Of tests. with a view to determining
definitely whether he was as good
as mis- original, papers indicated. The
members were dumbfou1ded by the
exhibition Of memory the young man
gave them. He could begin anywhere
in a textbook and quote absolutely
perfectly the sentences Of the author.
He possessed a letter-perfect knowl-
edge of the text of all books he had
studied. His memory did not fai!
him at single test, although he was
tried in every conceivable way.
It finally was determined by the
examining officers that Lieutenant
Rockwell simply was equipped with
an astonishing memory, which enab-
led him to retain, with no apprecia-
Bile difficulty everything he desired
to remember. The board reported to
tho v.rr @.,'Nor!mcnt that Lieutenant

in the present year by the ''Key Log

MONEY is

During The past two days money
has been making it's appearance in
large quantities in the east and the
beginning Of the end Of the furry
seems to be in sight. The urrency
has been flowing in a steady stream
from Washington, millions Of in
creased circulation having been
shipped to various banks. It will
take only a short time at the present
rate Of improvement to put financial
matters in good shape. The large
shipments Of gold from England ar
ranged for recently are now arriving
in this country. Yesterdays dis
patches from Washington state that
the financial situation is much better
now than for some time from q treas
ury standpoint.
It is quite possible that the money
situation may drop back to it's former
condition much sooner than was
thought a week ago, and that after all
there will be very little interruption
to crop movements and other bust
ness that requires a large amount Of
ready cash daily.

AS previously stated in this paper the
city has Installed scales for the protection
of the public and especially for the pro-
lection of the farmers. The ordinance
provides a penalty for selling hay or feed
10 the city that is not weighed over the
city scales. 1t Is reported that this ordl-
nance ia being violated, probably by
farmers who do not know that they are
violating the ordinance. The marehall
has been directed to arrest every person
who violates this ordinance. If the city
maintains scales for the protection of the
public, the public must patronize the
scales. A. B. REEVES, Mayor. II

When Eating Causes Colds.

II n who has caught a cold will
take thought, he will often find that
he has prepared himself for the in.
lection by some tax on his physical
condition-some extra work which
has depressed his bodily powers, some
worry which has preyed upon his
mind, some loss Of sleep, some undue
exposure to atmospheric changes, or
some dietary %indiscretion, says a
writer in the Youths Companion.
For indiscreet eating is one Of the
most prolific and yet the least recog-
nized Of all the predisposing causes
of a cold.
Let the hearty eaters of rich food,
who suffer from repeated colds, try
a course Of abstinence during the
coming winter, and they will become
Of the truth Of these re-
marks. In this case the proof Of the
pudding is in the not eating Of 1t.
