ONLY GIRL" AT THE ND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. dna Cyril Maude in "Grumpy" To-night-- "The Campbells Are Coming," a Fine Photo-drama at Grifiin's. Something new and unusual in | musical comedies is "The Only Girl." So many musical comedies that come along dre merely go in name, but in "The Only Girl'"' which was present- ed at the Grand Opera House Wed- nesday night before a large audience there is real music, real comedy and real singers to sing and real actors to act, Above all, these are con- nected with a genuine musical thems and an intelligent plot, and the result is an evening's entertainment of une broken pleasure. Perhaps this is only to"be expected '| when Victor Herbert wrote the music and Henry Blossom the book, because both are delightful. The story of "The Only Girl" is familiar to" many, but with the music it is invested with a warmth and fascination that is al- together enchanting. As to the very adept group of peo- ple who formed the company, to them every praise is due. Most striking is the very high standard of the singing. Ruth Thorp, as Ruth Wilson, the composer, is very clever and bewitching, and she sings with a voice that has great range and col- or. This is instantly apparent when she sings "When You're Away" in the opening act. Miss Mariam Carson as "Patsy," the soubrette, sings in a very win- ning way, and besides she dances | most delightfully. Ellen Crane, Ly- {dia Crane and Adele Hassan as the | three wives prove themselves admir- able singers, William McNaughton, {as Kim, has a fine appearance with a i splendid voice and ability as an actor to go with it. Harry Luckstone, | Richard Thompson and William Len- nox as the three pals are most excel- lently suited for their parts. There is also Theodore Kehrwald as Saun- ders, a most appealing characteriza | tion. sVAN'S FRENUR FILLS {5 Bg Pill for Worden, $3 & box or three for Did a8 ail Drag stores. or mailed to any receipt of Tie Scorer Dave By; fer Nerve and Brain: inereaces 'grey Tonje--will lulid Jou op & box, or al or by mail on tr i Te Lo Cold Robbers Dr. Hickey's Speedy " Cure and Dover's Cold Breakers have robbed more people of colds than any other similar preparations.

Us- ually, there are about 200 watches un> der examination for use'in the royal navy. On certain occasions there is a complete trial of chronometers open to all makers who have sufficient confi- dence in their watches being able to withstand the severity of the tests. During the competition the watches are exposed to every possible variation of temperiture." They are baked in furnaces sufficiently hot to cook a joint. In fact, so great is the heat that a badly made watch been known to tumble' to pieces during the baking test. The moment a watch is taken out of the oven it is plunged into mixtures registering 40 degrees of frost. To such perfection has the manufacture of some chronometers at- tained that even-the most stringent tests fail 'to cause the slightest varia- tion.~London Telegraph. Making Pastel Colors.

Mr. Rdwell pointed out how deeply interested the peo- ple of Ontario were in the Hydro; how anxious they were for its success and hew dear to their hearts was the | power project, All the more, there- fore, were they anxious to get the fullest statement and the most cor- rect information in regard to the! Hydro accounts. Year after the Government had refused to bring down the details of Hydro expendit- ures as is done in other branches of the service and now this year comes the amazing note from the auditor to the effect that the Hydro state- ren: did not represent the accounts Pai the Commission as audited by-tae aucit office. Mr. Rowell vigorously assailed the expenditure on Government House. In 1912 the Government's estimate of the total expenditure was $400, 1000, Already a million dollars have been spent, with another $172,000 to be spent this'year! "Not enly is the expenditure in itself extravagant and undemocratic," said Mr. Rowell, 'but there is this inexplicable dis- crepancy between the. original esti- mate and the actual cost." Mr. Rowel] also pointed out that | the statement of receipts and ex-| penditures, as presented in the pub- | lic accounts, was not the auditor's statement at all, but one prepared by the treasury board, controlled by | the Government itself. "If we had | an auditor's statement," declared | | Mr. Rowell, "the treasurer would| have had to show us a deficit rather | tian a surplus on the year's trans-| artions." ¥ | i Mr. Rowell declared that if the Government in preceding years had followed the advice of the Opposit- | ion and had been economical in the | Mr. were Rowell's | the fol- | | | | | | | | I] year | P.
