, Mrs. j. j. Woodman, in a communica-
tion to the Courier this week, criticized
The True Northerner for expressing its
honest opinion of the singing of Char
lotte Mendell OF the Cleveland Orchestra
company. 1t would seem to us that it
would have been better to address her
reply to the public through the columns
of this paper, which would have been
} freely open to her on request, rather
than to make use of another publication.
However, we have no fault to find nor
apologies to make. We were perfectly
honest in our judgment, and when a
public entertainment is given we feel
perfectly free to criticise it, no matter
under whose auspices it may be given.
