that she will not be able to appear. Nine.
Sembrich contracted a severe cold about
two weeks ago, which made IL necessary
for her to cancel her professional engage
ments- She was to have sung at Columbus,
o., Saturday night, and came there from
New York in the hope that she would be
able to take part in the concert Against
he advice of her physician she went on and
attempted to sing her first number. The
effort was a painful one, both for her and
the audience, for she coughed necessarily
and before her song was finished was COM
PEELED to retire. Within an hour her bron-
chial trouble became so aggravated that she
was seriously i'll, and two physicians were
called in to attend her. Yesterday she was
somewhat better, but could scarcely speak
above a whisper. and 1t was absolutely nee
essary to cancel her engagements in the
immediate future Indeed, it is probable
that she will not be able TO sing again this
season. She was to have appeared in Indi-
annapolis tonight, Cincinnati tomorrow
night and Nashville, Tenn, Wednesday
