HERR AMANN, The MIMIC.


Why tho Spectators Laughed When the
German Actor Initiated DLmRrck.
One OF the music hall actors that cane
to this country several years ago was
mimic named Amann, and he was regard
ed here rs clever, although he attracted no
unusual attention His speciality was the
imitation OF well known persons, and his
remarkable control Of his face enabled him
TO do this considerably better than most OF
his rivals. Ii has now become evident
that he was very much more notable per
son than anything he did here would lead
people to believe. His experiences in Flu.
rope were mover exploited in this country
as they have been abroad, and this neglect
probably cost Herr Amann considerable
publicity.
He is u short, stockily built man, with
large, broad face, which is, of course,
smooth shaycn. He is i3 years old now,
and his father was toymal;cr in Munich,
where the imitGtor was born. Young
Amann would have none of the toyshop
and joined the famous company at the
Meiningon Court thcntcr, Once, while in
Carlsbad, DO met Laube OF the lIofburg in
Vienna, who, struck by his remarkable
power of facial expression, advised him to
devote his talents to making himself look
like real persons instead of trying to he
imaginary persons in plays. He took this
advice and made up list of eminent men
whom he thought lac could resemble 1t
will be remembered by those who saw
him here that his only assistance comes
from the use of wigs and whskcrs, with a
characteristic bit OF costuming occasional.
ly when tho characters are historical per-
sonapos as well known as Napoleon OF
George Washington. Once in Genoa the
son Of General Garibnldi saw him repre-.
sent his father and was so moved by the
| Likeness that ho burst into tears, but Bis
marCl, once had an interview with Ainann
after performance and did not weep,
~ understand that you have represented
me in France, Austrla and Italy," said
| Bismarck
"Ycs, your highness," answered tho
actor
"And how did please tho people OF
those countries:" asked Bismarck
"Oh, rcmurkahlyr' was the answer.
"Indecd," said Bismarck II mover
supposed that the French, the Italians and
the Austrians liked me particularly.
ooh, ycsn continued the actor, whC
had grown enthusiastic now. II was
greeted with applause ON my first appear
ancc, and when l took OH my helmet Tn,
people yelled with delight"
"Of course" answered Bismarck, "they
cried out with delight when you took Of
your helmet and my three hairs were visi
blel'
Such personal study of tho subjects i
not frequently possible, however, to Her

The Wellington Telephone Co.

The Wellington Telephone Company
was organized last week, and lat their
meeting on Monday evening, the Is inst,
the town council passed an ordinance
granting the new company the privilege
to erect the necessary poles and wires.
The new company is composed
Of well-knOwn and substantial
business men of this vicinity, and this
fact alone is sufficient to assure the sue
cess Of the undertaking.
1t is expected that the new line will
afford better and more complete service
than the old line of the Bell Company
The new organization already has list
Of sixty-fOur subscribers at the uniform
rate of $500 a month for business houses
and $1.0O per month for private residen-
ces. Private house subscriptions have
not yet been solicited, and it is thought
that many more will come in at the
low rate offered. The line will be con-
nected with all surrounding towns hav-
ing local lines, and, where these exist,
they usually have more subscribers than
the Bell Company.
Every phone will be separate and in
dependent Of all others, and each
will be long distance phone.
Material has been ordered and the
work of construction will begin at once
1t is expected that the line will be in
working order in sixty days from thu
commencement of the work.
The location Of the new exchange ha'
not yet been fully decided upon, but it il
pretty certain that it will be located OF
