About Tomatoes.

There has been a sudden advance In
the price of canned tomatoes in the past
few days. Wholesale dealers say the
market is almost bare of tomatoes. It
may be of interest to our people who
contemplate engaging in the canning in
dustry to learn that the tomato industry
has grown to gigantic proportions, and
that the average pack Of the United
States is nea rly 3,0OO,OOOcases containing
two dozen 3-pound cans each. The ex-
port trade in the last few years has leap
cd into considerable prominence. Form
merly 500 to 1000 cases was large order
to come from England. but this season
a Philadelphia house received an order
from London for 10000 cases. Experts
say that the tomatoes grown in this Sec
tion are not surpassed by those grown in
any other section of the United States.
There is certainly good field for more
establishments in this city

AT last reports Helen Governs life was
despaired of, but since the news IF her

Who Knows Herp

The following item was sent out to the
press few days ago from GAINESVILLE, o.:
The career of Mrs. Slegbert Kosterlitz
of New York City, who is now 81 years
of age and the mother of two children,
each an heir to an immense fortune is a
most remarkable one She was born on
farm near st. Clairsville, and her father
dying when she was 13 years of age, her
life was apparently one destined to hard
ship and toll. She found her way to the
stage, and at Chicago at an early age
was married to man named Wilson,
He died worth about Sl50,000. Her claim
to this property is being contested. She
drifted to New York and by her beauty
and vivacity won the love of d. Edgar
Grouse, young profigate and sole heir
of millionaire parents at Syracuse. She
was married to him at the house of rich
friend, but his people refused to recog-
nize her, and after two weeks of mar
ried life they separated and she was sent
to London, where a child was born,
which is nsw about years of age. Her
husband obtained a divorce. but she was
not long unmarried. Seigbert Roster
litz,a wealthy Austrian, was her next hus-
band. A child was born of this union,
the husband dying shortly after.
The claim of her child to the Grouse
estate has, it is said, been settled for
100000, although her brother residing
here pleads ignorance. She is also seek
ing, with show of success, to obtain re-
cognition of the claims of her child by
her Austrian husband. She places her
claim in this case at nearly 100000.
She has brother residing here, we'll
to do contractor, and has visited him re-
Gently.
