viii not cause much surprise TO those
who have followed MIR, Gould's
career In the West, for MIR, Clarke
Aas been for years the right bower
and one OF tho ohlefest admirers
OF the railroad magnate. 1t was
due to ais Sagacity that the practical
consolidation Of the Wabash, Iron Noun
tain, Missouri Pacific, Missouri, Kansas
& Texas and Texas & Pacific was formed.
He was here with Gould when the
Wabash and iron Mountain roads were
acquired, and at that time was regarded

lie moved out on the other divisions as
the road progressed westward, aud was
eventually promoted to general superln-
tendent. When MIR. Gould acquired con.
trol of the Union Pacific and was elected
president, his knowledge Of meR, which
has contributed more than anything else
20 his wonderful success, induced him
60 appoint MIR. Clarke TO be-
firat Vice president and general manager
On the retirement Of MIR Gould, Mr.
Clarke also resigned. He has since that
time been living quietly in Omaha, caring
for his own properly, which Is very con-
siderable. Recently ON the requirement
by MI Gould Of The Belt road at Council
Bluffs, Mr.. Clarke was elected president
OF that road. This was the lrsl
Official position given him since his re.
tirement from the Union Pacific, but be
has hsd All the time some interest In the
Missouri Pacific. Exactly what the inter.
eat has been few people know, but he has
appeared on the Southwest system
inspecting the line under orders
OF Mr.. Gould. Immediately after the late
strike on that system Mr. Clarke went

CHINESE THEATERS.

The Peculiarities of One of the Oldest In.
stitutions of the Celestial Empire.
In China, where every thing is old,
the stage is one of the Oldest and most
popular of institutions. 1t is recognized
as moral agency, and it is kept from
backsliding by edicts the most rigorous
in intention, the most respectable in
quality; its drama fills some thousands
of volumes; it has its laws, its conven-
tions, its traditions, its genres, its type,
for all the world like the great theaters
of the West AS in Japan to-day, as in
seventeenth-century France and jacob
can England, its servants are 0utcasts
and celebrities at once. 1t is the
thing for high-toned Mandarins
and persons of consideration
to have play-houses of their own Gas
was the fashion in France of Pompadour
and Nine. de Maine) and to treat their
guests to after-dinner performances by
companies specially engaged; while as for
stroSlers playing for the million, the
Flowery Land may fairly be said to
TEEN with them. 1t costs little or moth
ing to manage travelling theater, we

for columns, mats for thatching, a
painted cloth or two for wings and
background, as many benches as your
space will hold, and by the waysde, or
in a corner of the city square, the
house can be run up in a couple of
hours. The denlzens of the
quarter suscribe; the local Man.
DARN assists, and straightway
the theater is in full working order.
Costumes, scenery, appointments to
all these luxuries the Chinese is pro-
foundly Indifferent. He asks no more
than good play and half a dozen ac-
tors; that much is enough for him.
He has, says General Tcheng, the true
sentiment of the stage, the right play
goer's instinct and capacity; he is in
terested not in spectacle, but in drama
and in histrionics; he supplies the nee
essary illusion from within, and to him
those European theaters, where moth
ing has been forgotten save the acting
and the play, would seem a weariness
and mockery. - Saturday ReUieD.

A Magnificent Bequest.

An immense land bequest was recently
made by a San Franciscan. The late
James Irvine left to his only son, among
other property 10000 acres of land in
one body in Los Angeles County. This
large domain Mr.. Irvine bought jointly
with another man in 1857, paying at the
rate of 81 IL cents per acre. In 1875
Mr.. Irvine bought out his partner for
$250,000. He has since been offered
$1,000,000 cash fer the property. There
is valley of 10000 acres in the tract
worth 300 an acre, or $4,000, 900 for
the valley. Some small farms have been
carved from this portion and sold at this
figure. On the tract IS coal mine which
is yielding an unfailing supply of coal
of good quality for locomotive purposes,
