RUSSIA.
Lecture bY a Diplomat to be Given in
Mcdowell Hall for Maintenance
Fund Of City Cemetery.

We have with US in Annapolis a dis.
tinguished visitor for the next few
weeks, the Hon. Herbert II. d.
Pierce, the American Minister to Nor
way. Prior to this he was attached
to the American Embassy at st.
Petersburgh. He is with his wife at
Carvel Hall, who is spending the win
ter here, to be near their son, Mid
shipman Pierce, Of the graduating
class at the United States Naval Acad-
emy.
Through some friends Of Minister
Pierce, he has been approached to
give an illustrated lecture upon Rus
sia the evening of February z, in Nc
Dowell Hall, st. Johns College. The
college authorities have loaned the
hall for that evening as the proceeds
from the lecture will be for a public
charity. The lecturers interest in
views and lantern slides led him to
make use of his peculiar opportunities
to collect a quantity of valuable mat
ter for illustrating his talks upon
Russia and Norway.
This seemed an opportunity to secure
some money for theMaintenance Fund
of the City Cemeteries. These two
cemeteries (St. Anne's and Locust
Grove) are cared for by an association
of the ladies OF Annapolis. Unfortu-
nately there is no endower or mainten-
ance or sustentation fund for the
cemetery. The care of them is pro-
vided for by subscriptions and annual
assessments laid upon the lot-holders.
Every year there are fewer persons
who can be reached for subscriptions
and assessments and the burden falls
more heavily upon a few.
The great need is very generally
recognized by Annapolitans. In CON
sequence of this the college authori-
ties have made an exception to their
rule about the use of Mcdowell Hall
for other than college purposes, and
granted the use of it to the Associa-
tion for Minister Peirce's lecture.

At S.45 this afternoon Miss Lynn
NJ. Shatfer, for the past four wears
State Librarian. will turn over the
keys of her Office TO her successor and
will leave Annapolis for her home i'm
Rising Sun. Cecil county.
Miss Shaffer was appointed under
former Governor Crothers and assumed
the duties Of the office February %.
1908. She has made a most excellent
State official and although she has
strictly practiced economy. no one has
suffered thereby. and the State has
saved much. as Miss ShaTer's bien.
nial report for 1912 will show.
Under Miss ShaiTer's custodianship
the State Library has been kent i'm
perfect condition. and was alwavs as
neat as new pin, to use "a popular
phrase. When she leaves il this aft
ernoon and turns il over to her success
sor, the Library will be i'm perfect
condition to the most minute detail
This morning the Library was filled
with Miss Shatfer's friends. who wont
to say goodbye ana to extend felici-
tations upon her approaching mar
riage. The Judges Of the Court of
Appeals waited upon her and com
plimented her work during the past
four years, wishing for her as sue
cessful a future rs housewife as she
had as State Librarian. The Judges
were warm in their praise of the
Librarians fitness and capabilities.
As mark of their appreciation
all the employees at the state
House went over to the Library To
express their good wishes to the re-.
tiring librarian 1t is not too much
to say that Miss Shaifcr, who leaves
the Office this afternoon can have
truly bestowed upon her by all law
yers and others who have had business
at the Library and know and value
the work she has done the deserved
encomium "Well done. thou Good and

A SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT.
The Helpers, League Of St. Martins
Church Pleases Many Patrons.

That the lower room of St. Mar
/ tins Evangelical Lutheran Church
was inadequate TO accommodate the
many friends and patrons who assem-
bled there last evening was manifest
to those who crowded there to partake
Of delicious salad supper and to hear
splendid music and literary program.
The supper was daintily served
from prettily decorated tables covered
with beautiful lace centre pieces
and handsome doilies, decorated with
red, pink or white carnations, and that
sparkled with silver and cut glass
under the colored shades of candle
labra. 1t was an inviting and appetiz-
ing scene, and the pretty waitresses in
dainty summer gowns were untiring
in their efforts to serve and please.
Promptly at o'clock the excellent
program was begun. 1t opened
with a piano solo by Mr.. Herman
Holden, a skilled musician, who play
ed with his usual skill. Mrs. Charles
Shearman then sang very sweetly
beautiful Scotch ballad, ANGUS
Macdonald" Mrs. Shearman has a
rich, sweet musical voice, of ten
derness and almost at times pathos.
Her high notes are especially clear
and musical. She also sang "Rose
Softly Blooming" by Spohr, and this
composition probably showed the
fibre of her notes to better advantage
than the Scotch song.
Mr.. Carence L. Clemson sang Il
Hear You Calling Me-" tenor solo.
Mr.. Clem sons voice always pleases
and he was obliged to respond to an
encore, singing He Was So Queer"
in splendid voice. Mr.. Stanley Nc
Cusker was accompanist.
Mrs. S. +. Brewer sang The Song
of The Soul, her sweet soprano ring
ing out full and clear in the tender
notes of this beautiful song. Mrs.
Brewer is always heard to advantage
and her sweet, true tones were again
heard with pleasure in Doris" that
she was compelled to respond to as an
encore.
Miss Elizabeth Redmond recited
Lorraine Larree" in magnificent
style. The young lady is born elo-
cutionist and is perfectly natural in
gesture and manner. AS an encore she
recited Lady Glare.
Miss Elisabeth Schaeffer, who has
a sweet, well trained voice sang a
beautiful soprano that displayed the
full range of her voice and her capa-
bilities as vocalist She has made
music a careful study and has attain
ed a marked degree of excellence as a
vocalist.
Miss Rae Smith gave a humorous
recitation in splendid style. She is
easy, natural and graceful and at
home upon the stage. Her recitation
gave much pleasure to the large au-
dience present.
The Helpers League are to be con-
graduated upon the great success of
their supper and entertainment. Those
who helped at the supper were the
following:

fringed gowns being fashionable this

indeed from everywhere.
And the trees-every branch, every
llmb--bore coating of ice and every
shrub was enshrouded in a crystal
covering costumed as bride for her
grown King Winter. All nature was
in her most lovely shimmery irredes-

have seen her, or portions of her as
you came across Spa creek bridge and
looked into the gardens at the Re-
demptorists' Home. There she was
in all the glory of her beauty. and her
loveliness was enough to make you
bow down and worship her, so beau
tiful, so queenly was she, and those
who saw her thus in town the past
few days in all her crystal, icy splen-
dor, could not fail to look through
nature up to Natures God.
