Capt TiebOr'S Seals.

This marvellous animal act is one of the
features the Sparks Circus which is
billed to exhibit here Friday, June 5th,
and the following is the criticism of
the New York Morning Telegraph OF
Saturday, Nov. %, 1913. at which time
these wonderful animals were playing
an extended engagement at all the lar
gest New FORK City Vaudeville Thea
tres.
1.-The past week the electric lights in
front of the American Music Hall have
blazoned forth "Capt. Tiebor's Seals"
and they deserved every killowatt used
to flash it. What impresses one most,
after seeing the wonderful exhibition
given by the seals is the extraordinary
patience which must have been utilized
by Capt. Tiebor to train the seals.
Training horses, dogs and monkeys is
easily understandable, but to take Z
quintet Of sea lions, performing out Of
the water, their natural habitat, and
to put them through course of stunts,
including walking tight ropes. playing
as brass band, Juggling rubber balls
and other articles and even doing COM
edy stunts, is almost unbelievable. and
for once that backneyed phrase. must
be seen to be appreciated" is apropos.
One of the seals got many laughs byhis
trick of applauding each stunt by the
other seals. He does this by means of
bis Aippers on the sides of the ::stand
from which he works. Capt. Tiebor is
a young chap of likable personality,
there is cleanliness and neatness to
and the entire act that goes far toward
making it an unusual animal act and a
great favorite with the ladies and chill
dren."

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.
SIeepwalkers Strange Act.

SIeepwalker's Strange Act.
curious story comes from West
Old Town, where man and his wife
lost their baby, which was later dis
covered by the woman in the bank of
snow outside the house. badly FROST
bitten. The family lives in the French
settlement, and on New Years eve
the mother drove to Old Town to at
tend church. leaving her husband in
charge of the home. AS she neared
home she heard little cry, but be-
lieved 1t made by a rabbit. In the
house her husband sat asleep in his
chair, but the three months old baby
was gone from its crib. Remember
ing then the cry she had heard, the
woman dashed from the house to find
her little one with both feet and
cheeks badly touched by frost, but a
physician was sent for and gave such
relief that the result of the exposure
is not now expected to be permanent.
With no known enemies, and believing
that no outsider could have entered
the house to remove the little one, the
affair was shrouded in mystery until
1t was remembered the father has been
for years given to sleep walking. He,
1t is reported, remembers having a
dream in which he carried a bundle
of wood and dropped it, somewhere.
1t is believed that the baby was seized
in his dream and carried outside, the
man returning to his comfortable
chair without knowing that he had left

Persistent RumOrs That Huerta
Intends to Resign Presidency.

Mexico City, Jan. 5.-That Generai
Huerta intends to resign from the
Presidency in the near future-a re-
port often denied by him in the most
emphatic terms-is again being per-
sistently rumored in the capital. 1t is
said that he will take the field in per-

the Presidential office. Enrique Geros-
tieta, minister of justice. is the man
who will be selected as his successor,
according to the understanding.
Senior Gerostieta has asked to be re-
lieyed of his portfolio which is regard
ed as lending color to the report of
which confirmation from any authori-
tative source has been impossible so
far. Gerostieta is said to have been Of

understanding that he assume the

CAPT. GATES LOST.
Believe He Was on Board III-Fated
Tank Steamer Oklahoma,

Boston, Jan. 5-Captain Loring A
Gates of Boston, who was a passenger
on the tank steamer Oklahoma, which
was abandoned in sinking condition off
Sandy Hook yesterday, was not among
the rescued on steamer Bavaria, accord
ing to radio message received here to-
night from Captain Graalfs. After stat
ing this fact Capt Graalfs message con-
tained no information ON the rescue of a
portion OF the Oklahoma's crew The
Bavaris is expected to arrive in Boston
at noon tomorrow.
Capt. Gates was well known in Boston
and for some time commanded the oil
tank steamer Ligonier. plying between
Port Arthur, Tex, and Beverly He liv-
ed in Dorchester with his wife and two
sons.
Capt. Gates had a varied career dur
ing his half century afoat. Born in
Butler, Me-, in 1S47, he went to sea first at
the age of 16 years. He was early ad-
vaneed to skipper of sailing craft, then
turned to steam vessels. AS a filibuster

with Gen. Huertas treatment of them.
Under the alleged plan Senor Geros-
tieta is to hold the Presidency only
for a limited period, turning it over
to Gen. Geronimo Trevino of Monterey,
one of the oldest of the army officers,
who, on previous occasions has been
talked of as possible successor to
Hucrta and to whom it is urged could
have no objection.
He has kept a1of from the political
developments of the last three years.
The release Of 26 deputies on New
Years day and the announcement of
the early release of practically all the
other deputies now in prison are point
ed to as further evidence of the posi-
BILE truth of the report. Persons close to
President Huerta are quoted as say
ing that failure to obtain funds in Eu-
rore is shaking the faith of the Pres
ident in his ability to cope with the
situation and that he appears less re-
luctant to listen to the suggestion Of
friends on the subject of his resigna-

THE ARMENIAN ALPHABET.
Fifteen Hundred Years Ago Their 49,
Letter System Was lnvented-Its
Spelling Is Phonetic.

Armenians all over the world are
celebrating the 1500th anniversary OF
the invention of the Armenian alpha
bet.
"All the important European nations
are endeavoring to simplify the SPELL
ing and to use the so-called phonetic
spelling" said Colonel Newdon Khan
of New York, when speaking Of the
anniversary of the alphabet. "The
Armenian people for 1900 years have
had Just such system. 1t is accom-
plished by an elaborate alphabet of S8
letters. The system represents every
conceivable shade Of the human voice.
If the expression of human thought is
the prime object OF language, then
surely the Armenian tongue stands
pre-eminent in that qualification. It's
fertility Of expression Is unsurpassed
by any language, ancient or modern"
Philostratus says the Armenians had
an alphabet of their own in the second
century A. D. OF this no trace re-
mains. The existing literature Of Ar
menia is exclusively Christian, and
dates from the. fourth century, period
when, under Gregory, bishop Of Ar
menia, and his successors the Church
struggled against the oppression of the
heather and established itself. The Ar
menian alphabet is said to date from
about that time. It's invention Is as
cribed to Miesrob, at the beginning Of
the fourth century or the end Of the
preceding one.
According to historical authority. it
is probably an ampliflcation of the pre-
vious one upon the Greek system and
consists OF 50 letters, the last two Of
which, o and F, were added after the
18th century. The order Of writing Is
from left to right.
