THE AGE OF YOUTH.

EVeryWhere in the characteristic fea-
 ture of our time is the ascendency of youth-and youth in politics We many
 count as anything up to fifty-fve. With
 this as our standard, moments glance
 shows us that the fate of the British empire to-day is in the hands of a group of young men. Lord HaIsbury,
 it is true, is 1seventy-eight. and Lord Ashbourne sixty-six, but every mem
 Der Of MT. Balfour's Cabinet is in the thirties, the forties, or fifties; and if we leave out two members the average age falls to forty-eight.
 MT. Bolfour's premiership may or
 may not have been all that his friends
 had hoEed; but one achievement. at any
 rate, stands to his credit. Lord Sails
 bury's last Cabinet had at the last elections nineteen members. Four were in the seventies. eight in the sixties, five in the fifties, and two in the forties, giving an average age of sixty-one. MT. Balfour has reduced the average age to f1fty-one, and practically, as we have seen, to forty-eight. He found a Cab inet l, 1,16S years old, and he has renewed it's youth like the eagle, and made it

 he said pathetically to friend: This
 is a tragedy at my time of life!" We
 know, too, that he looked forward to retiring so long ago as the seventies,
 when not much older than MT Balfour

 was destinel to be under the premier ship of men just under or over seventy.
 There can be no doubt that that is
 changing now. There is much signif- canoe in the ages at which modern prime ministers have first entered into the office. Lord Aberdeen was sixty

THE IRREPREssIBLE EUCALYP-
 TITS AT I.OMAI,AND


 Tn ere has been a curious and con- spicious instance at the Lomaland homestead of the almost total indiffer- ence of the eucalyptus to water-at any rate, to rain.
 Early in the year a few boughs in- tended for bonfire were carried to the crest of the hill, the highest point, near the flagstaff. The soil there is practi- cally little other than dry. red 'hard- pan" almost utterly destitute o fany vegetable ingredients. The boughs were brough up before the winter rain fall, such as it was, but that high ground was soon quite dry. Moreover, the crest is without any sort of shelter bare to all winds from all points of the compass, especially from the eastern deserts and the southern and western ocean.
 One of these boughs hust have flow cred, and, after it had lain awhile on the ground, dropped seed capsules. In due course a delicate eucalyptus shoot broke through the surface of the soil and all through the absolutely dry suc- ceeding months to this date it has been serenely growing. It is now (Decem- ber) a healthy little double sapling of about seven feet in height, growth,

 say. of six inches a month. Once it had started, its steady growth all through the subsequent months in that baked and unpromising soil must have been achieved on dew only. For there were think, but couple of trifiing show CTS. Now the rainy season is at hand, and there must be great rejoicing and preparations among the delicate green leaves.
 To another little sapling. then about three feet high and yisibly parched and crinkled as to its leaves for want of water. I began fifteen months ago to give daily pailful of water. and con tinued to do so for fourteen months. In addition, it the dew dropping from the roof of a house near at hand. Tn two or three days it had perked up, and looked glossier and fatter. In a week it had thrown out hundreds of new leacves. Since that time to now it has grown about thirteen or fourteen inches a month. If I had not a person.. al and paternal attachment to it, should dig it up and examine it's roots. For the daily dose of water was placed in an earth-pit of couple of feet in diameter which I had dug around the trunk. To follow the water the roots must therefore have grown straight down and down and down-how far? I really think I must take a spade, after all, in the interests of science, in spite of Iaeerated affections. For euca- lyptus roots are usually quite shallow and extend widely beneath the surface of the soil.
 There are however. great travellers when in search of water, and instances are cited where eucalyptus roots have gone from one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet for their water sup ply.-Point Loma (Cal.) Country Truth.

The star attraction presented this week at Polls is Sam Edwards, who for long time was the leading come dian for the F'rohman and Belasco force lin New York Certainly MT. Poli made no mistake when he engaged Edwards, for he made a distinct hit yesterday in. a splendid sketch entitled "A Pass For
 Two" The piece is really the starter 1 for round of gayety and lying that has probably never been equalled on the vaudeville stage. Sam is congenial, makes light of everything that would worry others to death, and his att tempts to deceive wifey are extremely llaughable to the audience. He always comes out on top of the chap of trou- 1 ble and in the end is the genuine fla vorite with wife and audience The sketch is we'll presented and special commendation is due Sophie Brant and
 Francis Stuart for their clever inter- lpretation of the roles assigned them.
 The sketch is bound to win favor here during the weeks engagement. | Paul Burnes continued his favOrite
 method of talking and joking his au-
 dience into applauding him. His sto-
 ries are good and told in excellent
 style.
 The Reed Birds, six of them, all one family, are comedy fun-makers in their

 Orpheus Comedy four in songs from Way Back are also favorites with Ipleasing voices. Two charming and lpretty young ladies, Misses Hoffman land Pierce, from Weber and Fields di- Irect, were one of the good acts of the bill.

The play will have ad- ditional interest in the fact that the au- thor is her famous husband, F. H. Sothern. In this play Miss Harmed will appear as a rollicking Irish girl. The scenes are all laid at Stratford, and abounds in shakesperean quotations, and although modern in construction and dress it is deliciously reminiscent of ShakesDeare's time and home.

The fire in the Hoadley building last night had the effect of making the at tendance at the Grand opera house last night considerably less than it would otherwise have been, but those who for got the fire and attended the presenta- tion of>David Higgins drama His Last Dollar" were well repaid for the same. The piece is by Mir. Higgins, who will be well remembered by local patrons for his play writing and acting and of his several previous visits.
 His Last Dollar has for it's hero a bluff rich westerner. who tackles Wall street and comes quite as near to ''the end of his string" as is necessary to make things interesting for him, and the process. as shown by this play, re- suits in a good drama. The scenes are all laid in and near New York, and the characters are quite characteristic, and, as is usual with MT. Higgins Of quite decided force and vigor. A fine scenic production will be given and a large company presents the play. MT. Hig- gins will be seen as Joe Braxton, the rich Californian, and Miss Grace Atwell as Eleanor Downs, young Kentucky girl who has brought her horse east to race in the great Futurity. The incident os the horse race. and it's use as the savior of Braxton in the hour of his peril. is one of the strong elements of the play.
 The play will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night, with Wednesday matinee.
 The famous Herbert Bros. trio of ac- robats, Lillyn Allyn, premier soubrette and athletic girl, and little Claire Schade, the youngest toe dancer in America, are with Charles E.

MT. Irving. it is claimed, is the handsomest star in America, being a perfect specimen of physical manhood. He is fast winning laurels as a new kind of matinee idol For His Broth CTS Crime is decidedly sensational and has leaped into instant popularity with the patrons of popular price houses. Notwithstanding the responsiveness of the production regular prices will pre- vail during the engagement at the Grand. Matinee Saturday.

Russians Penetrate
Japanese Lines

! st. Petersburg, Oct. l9.--News from
form the Russina standpoint. The sit
uation is still regarded as being criti-
cal,. but General Kuropatkin is appar-
emily holding the Japanese firmly on
his center and right wing, even having
recrossed the Shakhe river, and, while
there are rumors of extensive Japanese
thanking movements, both on the west
and on the east, there is no evidence
that they are actual occurring.
General Kuropatkin's $ left has been
heard from. The Associated Fress has
the first connected report of the four
days fight in front of Tumen and Salt
choun passes, resulting in the final
withdrawal of the sstrong Russian col
umn, which had been sent to turn the
japanese right, though General Mist
chenko seems to have actually pene-
trated a considerable distance inside
the japanese line. The report of the
operations of the Russian left wing is
still three days old and since that time
no news has been received form this
column.
The situation at this date may be de-
scribed as follows:
General Kurupatkin has slightly adj
vanced his center, ,reoccupying Shakhe,
south of the Shakhe river. Directly
behind him at a distance of nine miles
lies the Hun river and across the
bridges spanning this stream the Rus
sian must retire n'case they retreat on
Mukden.
General Kuropatin must continue to
firmly hold his center and right flank
in order to prevent the japanese get
ting possession of the Hun river
bridges. Thus he will cover the with
drawal of his apparently beaten west
wing.
There is still considerable uncertain
ty as tn the disposition of this column.
/ Certainly it has not returned to Muk-
den; whether it is again advancing af-
ter its withdrawal is not known. 1t is
no longer question of a Russian Se-
dan, although all hope of renewing
Port Arthur must be apparently aban-
doned.
Little hope is expressed that Kuro-
patkin will continue to advance.
