OTTAWA, Msv 26-(special)-'rue Premier and Minister of Railways at noon today received an influential deputation from Nova Scotia which practically asked for changes in the route of the Intercolonial from Moncton to Halifax. The eastern 'division of the Nation.. al Transcontinental from Quebec to Halifax will have a grade of four- tenths of one per cent. It is proposed that instead of ‘i°“bl€‘*-flicking the existing line A loop shall be built around Cobequid Mountains which would give a rea- sonable grade. HEAHNH.ANN NAME A PLEASINN PLAN For Hearth and Home a touching little Southern drama was produced by the Gordon Bennett Co. last night.. ' The large audience present appear- ed to be much interested in the proluetion and testified appreciation nt frequent intervals by.. hearty. ap- plause. Miss Katherine Gballoner gave n most acceptable rendition of the role of Claudia, her work as the blind girl being quite pathetic and winning. Miss Mable Reed ma e much of the rather unattractive ride of Annabelle, while Miss Olga Lor- nine made quite a hit in the charact- er of an old Sout/hern Mammy. Thom- nn J. Hardy, as the miserly villain Zeke Morse, made the part as villnn- ions and as detestahle as was ne`l,es- .~ml'y, and Paul Hillis was also seen to good effect! as Joe. Bailey. The remainder of the cast was satisfac- tory, and tbe‘ little drama was mounted and acted throughout in a manner to give pleasure .to all. By a popular request the Company will put' on Under the North Star to`-'_ night. This piece was used on Mon- dny_night and made quite an im- pression on the audience present, all the scenes being unique and in that pnrt of the country of which most of ns are familiar: The stage sittings and the Company are about the best scenlbere this season and no doubt the Company will be greeted by a crowded house tonight.
