A despatch from London, Ont., says: Mr. Den. Johnston, of For- est, President of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association, was in the city on Wednesday after a. trip of inspection through tho Niagara. Peninsula. “The peach crop in so- ing to be very large," he said to the Canadian Press. "Plums are also a. plentiful crop, but apples will be only about a quarter cmp." ' Mr, Johnston reports prospects of a very lar e peach and plum crop in the Lamiton fruit belt, though trp- ples there will also be light. Spe- cial attention is being given this year, he says, to the development of the oo-operative movement. It is likely that tho Ontario fruit- growers will have a. market agent in the West this year, something that has been badly needed and that should make the industry more profitable for the producers. Mystery of the Mail Bag Robbery Cleared Up. A despatch from Sudbury says: Jack O'Brien, 3. Kingston young man, whose father has the contract of carrying the mails in that city, and upon whom suspicion has rest- ed for the robbery of a mail bag in his home city on the night of Janu- ary 22, 1912, was taken into custody on Monday by Chief of Police Walker. To Inspector Perkinson of the Dominion Police, who came here to take him to Kingston for trial, O'Brien has made a. full con- fession. acknowledging the deed. The mail bag in question was stolen from the station platform in Kings- ton on the date mentioned, and was rifled of its contents, known to be at least 8275 in cash in American bills and numerous cheques.

Tho molt contentious pioco of legislation with which he was connected was that to which his name has been given as the Conmee Act.

Be could talk by the hour and produce manuscript by the Team, replete with ur- guments in favor of his contention. Tradition recalls stories, probably apo- cryphal, of the experiences of (lonmoe, an e vonth. in the American Civil War. Of his career in Northern Ontario. with Whll‘h he was identified from the early draws. there are also many stories, many doubt- losn also amcryphal, others routing on a basin of truth. It ie said, for example, that as fate would have it, shortly after Mr. Ponmm had been made a Justice of the Peace. there was brought before him on some trivial charge a former personal tyLtatrory'tst.

Mr. Johnson, who held an important position with the mining company at Copper Cliff, says the nickel de- posits there are not to be com- pared with these.

Now in spite of my years I have still much work to do, with a. thousand lepers under my care and with very little assist- ance, but St. Joseph is our protec- tor. to God, I was at hand and they were spared. I feel sometimes that I must take a little rest before I close my eyes for good, but how can I when there is so much to be done and few to do itt" "On December 14 about twenty brigauds came. I thought some lep- er: had come to call for me. I lighted my lamp and opened my door, only to be covered with guns and revolvers from head to foot. I asked them what they wanted and sat down to see what came next on the programme. I expected they would surely kill me, as they had threatened that if I fell into their hands they would rip me up. They took all the money put by to pay the hands, my spectacles and all the rice stored for the lepers. The (Suntan Government has now recognized his work, and is giving him a grant toward the cost of the erection of fi.fteer? large houses on the island, each designed to accom- modate seventy-two lepen, so that the leper population there will ex- ceed 1,000. Father Conrerdy has, however, had to make himself res- ponsible for oneMourth of the cost of the construction of these houses. The Government will allow 8 cents a. day toward the cost of the main- tenance of each leper, but of this sum Father Conrardy has to provide the staff necessary for the work. Already seven of these houses have been erected. Horrors of Recent Revolution. The Rev. Hugh B. Chapman, of the Savoy, London, who took such keen interest in the work of Father Damien, has just received a letter from Father Conrardy in which he gives some horrible de- tails of the revolution which took place recently in China. In his let- ter Father Conrardy, who is a doc- tor of medicine, says: . "In November the provincial Gov- ernment wrote to me to beg me to take charge of all the lepers of the province. Considering I could do them much good by alleviating their bodily sufferings, and maybe win- ning their souls to God, I accepted in spite of my 72 years and lonely condition. The Bishop of Canton promised me an assistant, and four sisters volunteered themselves to care for the women in a separate island, as the Government insisted. "The Government agreed to put up fifteen big house: for seventy lepers each. I contributed 82,500 toward them, and in addition I had to buy another small island for the women. For nearly fort years he bus la- bored umong the lope”. His atten- tion was first drawn to the condi- tion of lepers in 1871, when he was in India, and from 1876 he has de- voted his life to the alleviation of their sufferings. He labored in Honolulu from 1887 to 1896, phen for a year in Canton before taking up his residence at the Sheklung leper island, where he has all the leper. in_the province under his care. Aged Illister Eu Faced lay Hardships In Forty Your: _ of Heroic Work. The heroism of Father , Damien will long be remembered, and he has a. worthy emulator in the per- son of Father Conrardy, who is now stationed at the leper island at Sheklung, in the Kwnngtung pro- vince of China. _ _ .
