Excessive cigarette smoking, like

Estimate of Hartman Fortune.

EStiHlhJe Vi hartman tortuDc.
Edward H. Hartman was worth
$71,000,000 when he died on Sept
8, 1909.
Wall street and the general pub.
lie have made estimates of the
amount of the Hartman estate that
ranged from S1OO,00O,000 to twice
as much, but few even of his most
intimate friends believed that his
estate would fall below SSO,OOO,-
900.
The estimate given above is that
prepared by Charles A. Peabody
president of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company, one of Hartman S
closest friends and legal advisers
and has since acted as the chief ad-
wiser of Mrs. Hartman, to whom
the financier left everything he pos
sessed.
Mr.. Peabody, representing Mrs.
Hartman, paid into the Office OF
Comptroller Williams on March 5
$4,000 as his estimate of the
amount of inheritance tax to which
the state would be entitled to under
the transfer tax law. Under the
law, the payment of this tax within
six months of the death of the tesla
tor, entities the estate to a rebate
of five per cent.
Other than this payment, nothing
has been done toward the legal set
tlement of MIR. Harriman's estate.

Crop Will Fall Below Normal, Says
Prof. Surface

Reports to State Economic Zoolo-
gist H. A Surface, according to a
statement he made Saturday, in
dicate that the Pennsylvania apple
crop this year will be only so per
cent. as large as the normal crop
taking the state as a whole. Cen
orally speaking, the shortage is in
the western half of the state, the
eastern apples being in good shape.
These reports to the division of
economic zoology exactly coincide
with a statement about the apple
crop made a fortnight ago by Deputy
Secretary of Agriculture A. L. Mar
tin, after he had made a Swing

of studying crops in general
Viewing the state as a whole,
said Prof. Surface, the Pennsylva-
MIA apple crop this year will be just
about half of normal. Last years
crop was about normal. Prices this
year will be higher, which should
be encouraging to the men who have
apples at all.
I'm the eastern part of the state
the apples are much more abundant

Trees in the western counties and
along the northern tier were injured

the crop, but it is only partly tc

Mammoth Crops Reported All Over

From New York, Chicago, Boston
and Philadelphia come encouraging
reports sent in by the buyers of COM
mission houses, who have visited
the northwestern and Pacific states
that the apple crop in those sections
will exceed by far any former year
in the history of the country. Those
agents or buyers predict that it will
require 1900 box cars to ship the
fruit from the commercial orchards
to the eastern points. The market
value of the crop in the several
states is placed at from $4,000, 900
to S29,000,000 at present prices.
The encouraging news is gladly well
coined by the general public, all of
whom are particularly fond of that
product, and which will in all prob
ability be sold at greatly reduced
rates. The potato crop also gives
promise of large yield, with nomi-
nal prices prevailing.

A generation ago the glamour of
city life and its artificial attractions
held the young people of the coun-

rolled by the farms were almost de-
populated by the rush Of the boys

factories, stores and offices of the
towns.
The reason for this lay in the fact
that the country was lonesome and
the social instinct was strong. The
isolated farm, with its dreary round

Rumor of Negotiations.
A Middletown, N. Y, special says:
1t is stated on good authority, as
so many times has been stated, that
the o. & w. does not want to pur-
chase the d. & E., when this road
is sold, neither does the U. & d.
care to acquire it, according to
those who claim to be posted on
the subject. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that. as the actual market
value of the Delaware and Eastern
is at present at low water mark,
the road will be sold to or absorbed
by the Jermyns or capitalists whom
the Jermyns may interest in the
proposition.
The road is said to have cost to
build and equip in the neighborhood
of $1,500,000, that being the COM
panys estimate, but other railroad
officials assert the road won't bring
more than 100000. The people
are hopeful the D. & E. will not be
sold to any other road, but that the
Jermyns or other capitalists will Sc
cure it and build the extensions, as
at first outlined.
