Comedy Seas.-The acting seals
and the sea lions which perform with
| the great Adam Forepaugh and Sells
| Brothers famous circus amazingly il
lustrate in juggling, comedy effects
and musical acts the highest known
achievements in animal training. Cap
| tain Webb, who was the first to at
tempt the education of these curious
creatures of the deep seas, spent many
years of his life in the Arctic regions,
and there, far away from civilized life,
home and friends, he made a study of
their nature and brain scope, and after
a long time and the exercise of much
patience, finally developed the wonder
full performance which is now re-
markable feature of Forepaugh and
Sells greatest shows. The perform
ance is given on two big stages, and
every movement of the intelligent an
imals may be plainly seen from every
part of the enormous tent. This train
ed animal act is beyond question the
most marvellous exhibition ever offer
ed for public instruction and enter
tainment.
You Will Not Get Wet.-Most all
circuses claim to have water proof
tentS-canvaS that will turn rain-but
only the very largest ones can truth
fully advertise to have them. There
are times when water proof tents will
not turn rain, and yet they are thor
oughly water proof. This may seem
like a paradox, but 1t is true, and is
one of the several peculiar circum-
stances and incidents of q circus man
ayers career that place him in bad
plight, as far as his integrity is con-
ccrned. B. E. Wallace, the sole owner
of the worlds high class circus bear
ing his name, always buys new canvas
for his horse, menagerie, circus and
dressing room tents each year. This
year the size OF the various tents was
considerably increased, owing to the
of the show. These top"
were carefully Sewed, rOped and ribbed
by expert sailmakers, after they have
left the tent factory, then they are
taken to the winter quarters and
spread out on the ground. 1t is when
the new tent tops are seen in this way
that the size of circus outfit can be
appreciated. This spring, when the
top of every tent with the Wallace
show was being made water proof, a
small pasture of eight acres was used.
1t was found to be too small and a
large field was secured, where the can
vas could be spread without any trou-

dried by the sun, men walk back and

which is later rubbed in by brush. |
The tent is again dried and is ready |
for use. 1t will turn water, except I'M
der certain conditions. If put up dry. |
it is as good as the average roof. The
great Wallace show will be here I'M
der it's water proof tents on June 8.

Marvin D. hauCk in Trouble

According to dispatches publish
ed in the daily papers, Marvin ID.
Mauck, formerly of Woodstock, is
in mess" of trouble.
According to the newspaper re-
ports Mauck has eloped with the
wife of j. Edward Prior, of Tren-
ton, n. j., who leaves a ten-year-
old child.
Mauck, it will be remembered. i.
eloped with Miss Emma Carter. of
Woodstock. He was accompanied
by young jeweler of Woodstock.
and when the trio reached Win
chester they were joined by Miss
Ruby Talbot, a young school girl.
who was the sweetheart of the
jeweler.
In order to throw the officers off
the track, Mauck and the jeweler
snapped" girls temporarily. and
hiring two teams drove across into
Clarke county to take the y. & W
train.
Mauck and Miss Talbot were
intercepted here by Sergeant Rica-
more, but as the girl did not answer
the description OF Miss Carter (who
had gone with the young iewelcr
TO take the train at Charles Town
and as the authorities p. the Wood
stock end of the line we're puzzled
by the apparent disappearance Of
Miss Carter, they instructed Ser
geant Ricamore to release the
couple.
After being released they imedi-
ately boarded the enorthbound train
and were met at Charles Town by
the young jeweler and Miss Carter.
The two couples then proceeded
to Baltimore and had double we'd
ding.
Some time ago Mauck's young
wife left him and went home to her
parents and applied for divorce.
The case has not been settled, but
is expected to be heard at the next
term of court.
