L. S. Willard AT The Academy Of Music, Bal
tim0re, Next Week.

The return of Mr.. Il. $. willard to
the Academy of Music, Baltimore, for
an engagement of one week beginning
Monday evening, Januarly 4, is an
opportune theatrical incident. Mr..
Willard is not only one of the finest
actors of the day, but he is one of the
most faithful conservators of the best
fruits of the dramatic field, the plays
he presents being as wholesome as his
own work is stimulating, two facts
which are sufficient to explain Mr..
Willard s great and continued popu-
larity in this country, which he has
been able to tour for fifteen years
with unabated interest.
The public is really very much in
debted to this sincerely self-respect-
ing artist for his adherance to princi-
pies which unfortunately are too often
ignored by others. An exceptional
interest is felt in the coming engage
ment from the fact that the star comes
with new material that has been high

attraction will be "Coloncl New

ALASKAN GLACIERS RECEOING.
Recent Geological Survey Investigations Re.
veal This Fact

The Geological Survey investiga-
tions reveal the curious fact that the
great glaciers in Glacier Bay, Alaska,
are receding.
The work was conducted by Messrs.
c. w. and +. f. Wright, assisted by
Mr.. w. II. Pumpelly, of the Geologi-
cal Survey Department, Washington,
ID. c., and after having spent a sea-
son in Southern Alaska, they have
furnished a very valuable report on
their investigations.
In the course of their report the
members of the Survey state that
with few exceptions the glaciers are
all receding, the fact being especially
noticeable at Muir, the best known
OF Alaksan glaciers. The front OF this
stream which was confined TO a narrow
neck during the last decade has reced-
ed, since 1899. distance of five or six
miles to much broader portions in the
inlet, so that the present ice front, in
stead of being two miles across, forms
semi-circle nearly seven miles
around.
This recession has been attributed
to the earthquake of 1899, which may
have had some effect upon the glacier,
but the chief cause of the remarkable
retreat is undoubtedly due To its reces-
sion into the much wider portion of
the inlet, thus exposing "A far broader
ice front to the action of tidal cur
rents.

occurrence, yet this was the fate of
Mr.. Daniel j. Murphy, secretary TO
the Noel Construction Company at the
Naval Academy.
Mr.. Murphy was seated nj his desk
yesterday afternoon occupied with his
usual routine work when suddenly he
became aware that he could not see,
and the awful fate that he was strick-
en- with blindness dawned upon him
in all its horror. lie quickly made
known his predicament TO a fellow
clerk, Mr.. Steve O'Connell. who sug-
gested that Mr.. Murphy Immediately
consult some specialist.
Hardly said, than steps were taken
toward the accomplishment of this
suggestion. Mr.. Murphy, accompanied
by Mr. O'Connell, took the next
train TO Baltimore and visited an eye
specialist in that city, who eNamin-
ed Mr.. Murphy's eyes and found in
them a small particle of mineral
substance. which had caused the tenn
porary loss of sight.
The foreign substance was quickly
removed and forthwith Mr.. Murphy 5
sight was restored. The young man
returned home this morning and is
all right again. Ii is thought some
small particles of mineral substance
floating about in the air found lodg-
ment in the eyes of Mr.. Murphy and
caused temporary blindness.
