ORIENTAL ADJUSTMENTS.

The entrance and exits to and from the
stage of japanese theater are all made
throught the audience by a long, raised
platform down one side, corresponding
with one of our side aisles, and introduc-
tionary remarks are made tIom 1t.
Prompting it not SO adroitly done as with
us: An attendant in black squats behind
the star, book in hand, in full velw of all
but those of the audience directly in front
since lights are not used but each actor is
accompanied by an invisible "a man with
his face covered with a black cloth) who
holds a candle at the end of a long pole,
lust under his face. The attendant must
be well up in the action of the part, for
he is never in the way OF his principal,
but nimby manipulates his candle SO as
to avoid intercepting him. Women do
not act, but men represent them, and it
is noticeable that men who are above the
average height are always chosen, and
whose natural voices are anything but
efeminate. Stars are paid well, the best
at the best theater getting 81 900 per
month. The dressing is quite as extrav
agant as ours, and he requires no less
than forty servants, so that his expenses,
like those OF all high-salaried people, are
large. The stage has a thirty-foot turn
table in the middle of it by which scenes
are changed quickly by simply turning
it around The stage machinery is quite
simple An upright post, foot in dia-
meter, was the pivot of the turn-table,
and the periphery rested on well-greased
wood bearings, and the power was that of
couple of coolies applied to stick at
tached to the rim. The curtain is light
cotton cloth hung on {. wire. The lights
are large candles with thick paper wicks,
which require snuffing every few minutes,
and are snuffed by an old fellow who
handles the snuffers with a professional
flourish, oc asi nally dropping a red end
into box without stopping to apologize.
The foot and fy-lights he snufs while the
play is in progress, going in and out
among the players, regardless of the stu
ton. The play lasts all day and all
night. A box tor four costs So for a
whole day or whole night. Parties go
and stay all day, lunching and smoking
at pleasure. 1t is an extremely social
sight. The Chinese theaters do not give
any idea of it, The ventilation is good.
odors are not offensive, the gay dresses OF
the people in the boxes are pleasing as
we'll as their faces and their bright eyes.
That they are sympathic people is prov
ell by the fact that during the melodrama,
while poor, blind orphan was reclting
his tale of sorrow, heads were bowed all
over the house, and women chad real
good cries." such as might fatter Clara
Morris, were she on the stage. The
streets in the vacinity of the great thea
ters are filled with peep shows, and mon
KEY shows, and low priced comic theaters
and wax figures, and side shows Of all
kinds, which are interesting for a glance,
but not generally entertaining.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY LIVES
LOST BY A SHIPwRECK.-SAN FRANCISCO,
CAL, June 15.-The particulars of the
wreck of the steiner
Tararua are given by the Aur-
tralian Herald of May %. The Tararua
was steamer belonging to the Union
Company of New Zealand, was employed
on the coast of Zealand, and running to
Melbourne and Sidney. On the voyage
on which she was wrecked the Tararua
had passed down the east coast OF New
Zealand, calling at different ports. She
was between Port Chalmers, Port OF Dun
edin, and Blufs-the last place of call
before going to Melbourne. When the
vessel first struck the sea was compara-
lively calm and it was thought no lives
would be lost; but heavy surf breaks
on that part of the coast. There was no
life-boats or life-saving apparatus. One
boat which went from the vessel was
driven upon the beach and broken, while
the other could render no assistance, and
was picked up at sea. A heavy swell set
in, the steamer settled down on the rocks
and was washed over by the waves. The
crew and passengers huddled at last on
the forecastle and the in-rigging' and as
they became exhausted were gradually
washed off the forecastle. The vessel
struck at 5 o'clock Friday morning. By
2 o'clock Saturday morning cry was
heard by those on shore as the mast fell
into the sea, and when morning dawned
there was scarcely vestige of the wreck.
Between sixty or seventy bodies have
come to shore. The majority have been
buried on a peice of ground on the coast.
About 130 lives were lost.

JUMPED FROM THE WATER TOWER.-
The suicidal mania shows no signs OF
abating. Shortly after o'clock yester-
day afternoon, Hugo Malapert, 25 years
old, and employed as shipping clerk in
Bloch Il Arnstine's picture-trame factory,
176 Adams street, threw himself from the
top of the stand-pipe tower, at the North
Side water works, and was instantly
killep. There were but few witnesses
to the tragic occurrence, and these first
saw him while falling. No one observed
him make the leap. The earth where
he fell was scooped out by the force
with which his body struck. He had
apparently alighted on his head, for his
neck was broken and there were nc
other bruises or contusions on his body.
At the police station the young mans
pockets were examined and several let
tiers addressed to him from members OF
his FAMILY were found, and a sealed
letter addressed to Bloch & Arnstine
with a direction on the back: "Please
deliver this right off to Bloch & Arnstine. y
Three photographs were also found,
which it was afterwards discovered were
of his father, Baron Won Malapert de
Neuville Oberkammerherr, or High
Chamberlain to Emperor William OF
Germany, of his brother, Fritz Won Nal
apert an officer in the Prussian navy,
and of a little niece.
The note addressed to Bloch & Arm
stine merely announced his intention to
commit suicide, and asking them to
pay his debts with 5000 his father would
send them. Deceased had been board
ing for some weeks at 25S Ontario street.
No cause for the suicide is kown except
ing desponency at the debts referred to
above
Coroner Matson this morning held an
inquest on the remains Of Malapert. A
verdict was rendered in accordance with
the facts.-Chicago Journal, Jane IL.

Rev. Mr.. Cowlev late keeper of the
Shepherds Fold of New York, who
served a year in the Penitentiary for
starving the children of that institution
has been given a trial by Bishop Potter.
The committee selected has spent six
weeks investigating the case. The re-
port has not yet been made public, but
it is known that while it will not com
pletely vindicate Cowley, it will assert
that there were no facts in the ease
which warranted his consignment to the
penitentiary as felon, nor is there any
reason why he should be deposed from
the ministry. The Committee express
the opinion that Cowley was unjustly
and cruelty bounded into the Penitenti-
ary.
