R. H. Hill Tells How to Act Like a
Dummy.
Indianapolis Sentinel.

indianapolis Sentinel)
In these days, when every means of
livelihood is overcrowded, a man who
is the creator and only expert follower
of profession is rare enough to be in
teresting. Such man is R. Howard
Hill, WaX-model man, who has caused
wondering attention and not a few
wagers by posing in the window of a
music store as an automatic pianola
player, and in d clothing store as an
artificial form on which to show cloth
ing.
When 1 was IA, which was twelve
years ago." he said yesterday, 4 began
to pose for artists. l then lived in Lei
cester, England. I made an exceptions
ally good model, because 1 was able to
stand perfectly still for so long time.
An artist told me if 1 would go to Lon
don could earn a fine living, for good
models were rare and in great demand.
I ran away from home and was soon
doing we'll in London. One day a visitor
to the studio where 1 was posing said:
If it were not for your winking, no
one could tell that you were alive"
THAT put the idea into my head, and
l began to practice holding my eyelids
motionless. Winking. you know, is a
natural, involuntary act. A tear drop
oozes from the lachrymaI gland, and
by the passing of the lid over the eye
ball in winking this drop is spread in a
thin film over the ball and protects it
from the dust and to direct contact of
the air. When the lacrymaI gland fails
to act the dry eyebaIl becomes so pain
full that water has to be dropped into
the eye.
1T was difficult to accomplish. but 1
finally succeeded, and can now stand
for five hours without winking. The
first quarter of an hour is hardest to
endure. The greatest difficulty is to
keep the throat moist. 1 have absolute
control of each muscle of the body sep
arately, and what would be impossible
to you has become, through training,
perfectly natural and easy.
Most of my practice, by the way,
was done in this country. l came over
here and perfected my work. and then
went back and gave exhibitions in Eu-
rope and England. 1 knew if [ could
come back here as a European attrac-
ton could demand better prices. This
! found to be true, and now I make an
easy and more than comfortable living
and have many more offers than 1 can
fill.
I am perfecting a new performance
along the same line, which 1 will ap-
pear in here next year. 1t is safe to
say that it will be a source of greater
establishment than the one I am doing
now

Countess de Sers to marry Miss May
Palmer
Every American in Nice was on the
streets or in or around the churches Of
Notre Dame and Holy Spirit to get
glimpse Of his distinguished country
man on his bridal day. Contingents of
Americans came from the neighboring
towns of Riviera, MentOne, Monte Car

In this cOsmOpOlis along the bOule

The next carriage, coming a moment
afterward. contained the bride; her
mother, Mrs. Herman Palmer; her sis

There were no bridesmaids, and be-
cause of the difference Of religion Of
the contracting parties the ceremony
took place in the vestry The bridal
party arrived a half-hour later than
the scheduled time, but this probably
by private arrangement. A gorgeOusiy

came the bride.
First came the groom, then the other
members of the bridal party. and last

government in view of the coming
general elections.
The speech took the form of a re-
view of the policy of the government
and the work of the present legisla-
ture. 1t expressed the firm conviction
that the election would result in a
striking victory for the republic and
overthrow the forces of reaction.
NJ. Walceck- Rousseau declared that
since the formation of his ministry
the country had acquired a security
unknown for a long time, and that it
required an insurable pessimism not to
recognize that the bad days had gone
by. When the cabinet took Office. he
said, The factions of the party which
guarded France as its own property
and patriotism as a political industry
the sole patient of which it conferred
upon itself, was preparing TO usurp
power by the exercise of veritable tyr
amy, and that within the first year
TINS tyranny was succeeded by ma
terlal and moral disorder. He recalled
the sweeping republican victory in the
municipal elections and said that the
hour for action, instead of defense,
had seemed TO have arrived. and that
the government submitted a pro-
gramme Of reforms. He said the adop-
marked a decisive step forward, from
the point of view of economic devel-
opment and its guarantees of society.
notwithstanding prediction of
agitation, the speaker said, the law
of associations had begun TO be exc
cuted and II would be carried out in
the spirit in which it was conceived,

which had resulted in a loss to the
treasury, the premier said that the
transitory receptions attributed to this
law were not too heavy a price to paw
for the suppression of the scourge Of
alcoholism, which threatened the ex-
lstence Of the race.
Abiding to the naval programme Of
France, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau said
that submarine boats, the construction

were calculated to overturn the laws
of naval prG-eminenee. The premier
spoke of the development of the
French-AfricRn republics and said
that energetic action of France had
given French, influence a new author

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.-The addition
OF sixteen cities and the province of

tai OF such places in European Russia,

law on this subject has been in force.
The occasion of the last additions to
this list, 1t was said TO the correspond

editor of the Bessara betz, who is COM

and the windows Of his Office were
smashed. He came to st. Petersburg
and made a special report
1t is also said there is an active revo-

IN all parts Of the country to the dis

ETC., to withdraw processes from the

and secret service officers may also ar
rest anybody on suspicion.
Practically the main difference is that
the local authorities are empowered to
act on their own judgment without re-
porting to st. Petersburg in advance.
