DEEP IN
 HAYNES VALLEY

R. A. Yirch, of Haines, arrived in Juneau last night. In speaking to 8 Daily Empire man he reports that iu Haines proper, the snow is three feet deep on the level, and that back towards the mountains where it has drifted, it is five and six feet in depth. According to MT. Virch, the old timers at Haines say it s the most snow ever seen there at this time of the year.
 At Skagway the ground is Rracti- cally free from snow, there being onlv about three inches, but the LigI wind which is blowing there is sweeping even that out into the bay.
 N.. Virch is in Juneau to dis pose of several tons of potatoes, cabbages, and other vegetables which were raised on his place dur ing the past summer The present high price of potatoes is a good thilS for the Haines farmers who planted their ground with mUrphys this year, as the price is better than ever before, and there is a good profit, according to Vireh.

Evening Ledger Business Of
flee (6th and Chestnut
Streets)

The second Sunday concert OF the
Philadelphia Orchestra, Leopold Stokow-
ski conducting, will be given at the Met
ropolitan Opera House on Sunday after
noon, January %. AS before, admission
will be by ticket only. Such tickets may
be obtained from the EVENING LEDGER
business office, 9th and Chestnut streets.
after s a. IN. tomorrow, If the holders
of reserved seats do not occupy such
seats before the close of the second
number on the program, these seats will
be availble for those who hold general
admission tickets,
A special feature of this concert will
be the playing of Alne van Barentzen,
pianist. Miss van Barentzen, who is one
of the youngest concert pianists playing
in this country this season. is not un-
known to America, having appeared here
a few years ago as a child prodigy. AL
though she had en- enormous success at
that time. the Gerry Society refused to
let her play in concert because she was
under IA years of age. She then returned
to Europe. where she had extraordinary
success. Her recent recital in New York
and her appearances at the Metropolitan
Opera House have won her a very definite
position among the great artists of the
day. She viii play the Hungarian Fan
tasy of Liszt.
The symphony on the program is the
one by DvOrak called From the New
World" This symphony was played on
Friday afternoon and Saturday evening
last at the regular concerts of the Orches-
ira and made a great impression. The
work makes very definite appeal TO
American audiences, since it's themes are
based on so-called American folksongs,
and the beautiful second movement of the
symphony, the Largo. has all the plaintive
melancholy OF the old negro slave songs.
The other orchestral numbers include
the dainty Scherzo which Mendelssohn
wrote as incidental music for Shake-
speare's immortal comedy, "A Nidsum-
mer Nights Dream" and tie suite OF
which the Scherzo is part contains the
famous Wedding March. The Overture
TO "Rienzi" Of Wagner makes a spirited
ending TO an interesting program.

CURED, SHE
WILL NURSE OTHERS
Grateful Young Woman Dedi-
Gates Life to Giving Treat
ment That Helped Her

A young Philadelphia woman who n
few months ago suffered from n
paralyzed foot, is so grateful for the
cure that has been affected in her case
that she has decidede to become n nurse,
and has consecratcd the rest OF her lie
to service for others.
The young woman is Miss Lillian Glenn,
of 1917 Ringgold street The cure Is the
result of the work of Miss Mary f..
Wighatn, a senior at the Philadelphia Col
lege of Osteopathy, and Is said to have
been the result of ostcopathic treatment.
Miss Wigham has been treating Miss
Glenn's foot ever since an operation by
DIR. q. o. Bashlne, of the faculty Of the
osteopathic institution.
Before the cure was effected, Miss
Glenn was a saleswoman. She will never
go back to this work. she says, for she
has been in training at the Philadelphia
College of Osteopathy since last month,
and hopes, when she completes her
course, that she will be able to do for
others what Miss Wigham has done for
her.
Miss Glenn had been cripple for years.
Her right foot was several inches shorter
than the left and was so turned that she
walked on the side of IT instead of one the
bottom. She was forced to give up her
position as saleswoman because of her
affiiction.
Doctor Bashlne performed the opera
tion on her foot November 20 at the Col
leEe of Osteopthy. He found that one OF
her tendons had grown shorter through
paralysis. thus drawing her foot up and
causing her to limp. Even after the oper-
alton her foot remained cold and the cir
culation was below normal.
Then Miss Wigham was assigned to
work on Miss Glenn's foot and soon
complete cure had been effected. Miss
Glenn walks now as though she mad never
had anythI = wro. with her foot.

cess OF the show Is to be taken FOR
granted.
You can take for granted also. an anus
ing time In spite Of the length Of the
program. The strenuous Daphne Pollard
and the affected fatuousness and unctuous
simplicity Of the younger Howard, the
dry humors OF John T. Murray and the
dancing OF Miller and Mack, fill in where
the burlesquing of plays Begins TO be too
confused 10 be interesting.
OF all the take-offs. those on "Trilby
and "Androcies" were the most amusing,
and the honors fell to Willie Howard in
both cases And Of course there are
lights and colors and a general sense of
snap and go, the downright refusal to be
quiet at any moment, in music or in
dancing or in talking or In singing, the
continuous display of energy and backs
all OF which run into the blur Of "a grand
time" at the end.
The Passing Show has been a sue
cess and will be one here, probably; but
that Is no reason why n few well-inten-
toned reservations should not be made
about IL. Why, for Instance, wasn't
little intelligence used in arranging the
costumes. which arc many, and gay, and
entirely without taste, being appropriate
neither to setting nor to individual? Why
does the professional chorus girl type of
beauty prevail so insistently7 Why Is
the whole thing Keyed to the last possible
degree of loufness and kept at that key
all through the evening? No changes in
these things would make the show at the
Lyric more smashing success, but they
would add something to the enjoyment of
those who look for something a little
more artistic than the revue of 10 years
ago.
BE that as It may, to revert to Mr..
Monroe, who is beyond criticism. the
audience, even that part of II which
made these reservations, enjoyed itself
much last night. And those who were
Worried some months ago at the decline in
terling found consolation. G. V. S.

reason, that he has considerable wealth

The will directs that S2500 be set aside,
the income from which is to be used to
care for her horse, Dexter. Upon the
animals death the principal is to go to the
eve department of Hahnemann Hospital.
The will was probated in Norristown yes

Many public beduests are in the will,
among which are two of $4,000 each for

Children from Cruelty, each to become

brother and sister, who are to receive the
income from these amounts for life.
