FATHER CONRARDY is DYING OF
LEPROSY IN CHINA.
tBy Associated Press. ]

Chicago, March 24.-Rev. Ether
Lambert Louis Conrardy is dying of
ieprosy among the leper colony near
Canton, China, according to a letter
received here yesterday.
Father Conrardy labored among
the lepers in the Hawaiian islands for
eight years before going to China.
Before setting out for China he
spent two years lecturing in the I'm
tied States, raising about $4,000 for
his project. He bought an island in
the river sixty miles from Canton,
transported there 500 lepers, and
built them shelters. This took s1O,-
600 of his money and from the re-
mainder he had an income of 1000
a year. AS he was physician. nurse.
attendant. office force and executive
head for the colony. and as food cost
only cents a day for each person,
he was in fair way to carry on his
great burden.

NARROW ESCAPE
OF THIS TRAIN

Quick application of the air brakes
by Engineer William Sands saved the
lives of $50 passengers on the second
section of train No. of the Rio
Grande Tuesday afternoon. when the
train ran into a rockslide twenty
miles east of Glenwood Springs, says
a story in the Denver Times.
The train was rounding a curve
obstructing the view of the slide, un-
til the engine was less than 200 feet
from 1t. The train was running at a
rate of thirty miles an hour and a
crash with loss of life seemed inevita-
BILE.
Instead of jumping and saving his
life and allowing the passengers to
go to destruction. Engineer Sands
threw on the air brakes. The impact
with the rockslide was terrific, the
engine moving a rock weighing at
least ten tons for some distance. The
cowcatcher and front of the engine
were wrecked and the two front
wheels were derailed.
When the passengers realized how
narrowly they escaped they made up
a purse for the brave engineer.
Resolutions of thanks were drafted
by w. II. Calhound of Marshalltown,
Iowa. one of the passengers. and.
after they were signed by the other
passengers, were presented to the
train crew.
