here in this cold country of ours. We
have had very hard winter up here
with about four feet of snow on the
level. And coal has been very short
some times, and when car did come
in we had to divide il in 500 pound
lots so that everybody could keep
going. But now we are having very
nice weather. Last Friday, Feb. 9Th,
it rained here, so the snow is packed
down some now. Bright sunshine
every day. And now il thawing
some.

MISS COMBS TO SING.
Soprano SoIOist Iu IiandeI's "Measiah" In
Baltimore Tonight.

A number of Annapolitans, includ-
ing the parents and brother of the
young lady. will go 10 Baltimore to-
day TO hear Miss Larua Louise Combs,
of this city, sing tonight in Handel S
Messiah, to be sung at the Lyric
in that city by the Oratorio Society
under the direction of Mr.. Pache.
The Baltimore News of last evening
contained n handsome picture of Miss
Combs, together with the following:
Much interest ceuters about the
appearance of Miss Laura Louise
Combs as the soprano soloist. Miss
Combs was a resident of this city a
few years ago, and a pupil of Mr..
Joseph Pache, conductor of the Ora
torio Society. While here she sang
at Grace Methodist and the First
Lutheran churches. She went from
Baltimore to Pittsburg and from Pitts
burg to New York, and in recent years
she has scored very pronounced sue
cess as an oratorio singer of first rank.
Competent judges have declared
that in this country the soprano solo
lists of equal worth in the oratorio field
can be counted on the fingers of one
hand. Miss Combs voice is a highly
lyric sprano of great freshness and
purity of tone. She has sung recently
with the New York Oratorio Society,
the Mozart Club of Pjttsburg, the
Washington Choral Society, the Cleye-
land 0ratorio Society, and has made
a decided hit with each. The 'Mes-
siah' gives the soprano a fine oppor-
tunity, with its Rejoice, Rejoice
Greatly "Come Unto Him, II
Know. That My Redeemer Liveth'
and other arias.'
