der an inspiration that is impossible
to counterfeit. Many who went there
to scoff remained to pray. Mrs.
Smith went into . trance as soon az
she stepped upon the stage. She was
controlled by a sperit that first re-
quested subject. A lady in the aus
5diende wished TO know what is the
spirits experience as to a person who
departs this earthly life resolving
punishment III the other or Spiritual
world. Mrs. Smith as the medium inn
mediately launched out into most
brilliant how OF speech, and with COM
mon sense.
After the lecture Mrs. Smith gave
snme very satisfactory tests TO per-
sons in the audience. All Of the mani
festations given by Mrs. Smith have
the unrnistakable signs of truth and,
honesty about them. The writer has
heard Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, speak
and she is q great orator, but she has
not the advantage Of inspiration which
Mrs. Smith possesses. To meet Mrs.
Smith at her home or in society when
she Is not controlled by this very mys-:

claims comes from the Spirit World, II.

Adrian, Mich, Dec. 4.-The coroner's 8

caused by the negligence of the Wabash

negligent in failing to properly UNDER
stand and obey Order No. 50, under

Moderate Demand for Stocks at Erratio

(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated PreSS.)
New York. Dec. 4.-There was a mod.
crate demand for stocks in the opening
dealings at fractional gains throughout
Sugar. Manhattan and Peoples Gas
were bought heavily and advanced IN
to 2R. Amalgamated copper rallied from
TN to 72A, but fluctuations were err
ratio.
Prices We're at the best for railroads
at II o'clock. The market developed in
creasing activity and breadth. Man.
haitian touched 1925, a rise of 2A. Rock
Island got up AZ in all, touching 151h.
Missouri Pacific's gain reached 2h.
Great Northern, preferred, declined IL.
A rise of 17s in Pennsylvania and 2% in
New York Central We're features. The
junior Vanderbilts and the Readings
followed the movement.
Bonds were irregular. Amalgamated
copper rose to 1914 and the general mar
ket held firm until that stock fell back
below II, when prices receded a fraction
all around. The activity of trading was
greatly diminished at the reaction.
The demand for Manhattan continued
and despite the heavy realization sales
which met the rise, the price advanced
to 144A, which was AS above yester-
days close.
There were gains in Brooklyn transit
of 2A: Metropolitan, 27s, and General

again rallied to 7S, but the general list,
while higher, moved narrowly.

be some who will not agree completely
with it's contents. The anarchists, for
instance, may be expected to take ex-
ception to some sections, and I don't
think the trusts will be entirely pleased.
1t is, in my opinion, a noble message.
I like it.
William Scallon-It is a most compre-
hensive state paper and will be read with
deep interest and much pride by the
American people. His interest in the
West is very gratifying and will not fail
of having an important bearing on West
ern development.
Judge H. N. Blake-It is a most able
and dignified document. 1t is full Of
practical ideas finely expressed and
gives a graphic description of the coun-
trys industrial condition.
Col. C. F. Lloyd-It is the message of
a patriot, a soldier and a gentle
man.
j. r. Thompson-It was a great docu-
ment. I read it all and was most
pleased with the discussion Of irriga-
ton. which means wonders for the West.
Street Commissioned John Mclaughlin
Il think the presidents message, or at
any rate, the most of it, is all right.
I was especially impressed with his sug-
gestions on the Indian question. The
proposition of having the Chinese ex-
clusion act continued is a good thing,
and the treatment of the labor and Ea-
waiian cable questions suits me. l think
the president has given the people a
good message, and while there may be
those who differ with him with reference
to some policies l think the state paper
is being well received.
VIZ L
the message Of the pres. ent' but judg-
ing from the parts of it that I have been
over think we should be we'll satisfied
with it. The suggestions on the Chi
nese, the labor and the Hawaiian cable
questions are all right. I think Presi-
dent Roosevelt has made general favor
able impression on the people with his
first message.
Hon. Lee Mantle-The message is just
what might be expected from a man of
the presidents vigorous personality. His
pledge to carry out the policy of the
late President Mckinley is admirably
kept as far as the message is concerned.
He has departed in no appreciable de-
gree from the policy outlined by his pre-
decessor. and he has expressed in a
vigorous way the views he holds. The
original and forceful manner in which
the president has set down his opinions
will meet with general approval. He has
made no departure from the formal
manner of presenting opinions upon pub
lie matters that will not be appreciated
Clarence smith-The portion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message referring to
labor are especially pleasing.
Col. Samuel Harrison-There are many
suggestions in the message that are
timely, and so far as abor is concerned
the president deserves vote Of thanks.
He is the first national executive who
has ever came out fiat footed in favor of
organized labor.
Ray Smith, have only glanced over
the message as yet, but it strikes me as
a particularly strong one.
Phil Daniels-I think the message of
the president is full of logic and in many
places it expresses my sentiment.
A. E. Spriggs-In my opinion the
message is a straightward document and
reflects credit on President Roosevelt.

ISTHMIAN COMMISSION FAVoRs
NICARAGUA ROUTE.
MANY ADVANTAGES SET FORTH
Great Waterway Would Be Nearly 1874
Miles Long, Would Cost $lso, 1884,
O62 to Construct and Six
Years to Build,
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 4.-The report of thu
lsthmian canal commission was sent
| 10 congress today. The commission, al
! anticipated several weeks ago. favors
the Nlcaraguan route, and makes an
| estimate OF $3.50, 1854 ,O62, as tn total cost
| OF construction Of the canal through
Nicaragua
| The estimated cost of the Panama
route is $144, ,233, 1858, but the report SAYS
1t would cost $lO9,141,00O to obtain the
Panama concession. The commission
| values the work done at $40, ,OOO, 900.
The report says the Panama route Isl
| feasible as sea level canal, while tho
| Nicaraguan route must be by locks, but
Lake Nicaragua will furnish an mex.
| haustible supply of water for tn. canal,
The Nicaragua route has not natural
harbors al either end but satisfactory
harbors may be constructed.
Could Be Built in Six Years. ?
Harbors already exist at each end Of
| the Panama route but considera ble
work must be done at the entrance OF
the harbor on the Atlantic side. With
adequate force and plant, the commits.
sion estimates that the Nicaragua canal
can completed in six years, exclusive Of
two years for preparation. Ten years is
estimated to complete the Panama
canal.
The total length Of the Nicaragua
route is 1886 miles and the Panama
route 4o.09 miles The estimated cost Of
operating and maintaining the Nica-
rasua canal annually is 81, $50, ,OO) greater
than that of the Panama canal.
The estimated time for deep draught
vessel to pass through the Panama
canal is II hours, and through Ncara-
qua canal 33 hours. The Nicaragua
route, the report says, is more advanta-
sious for commerce, save that, origina-
ting on the west coast Of South America.
Better for Sailing Vessels.
BETTER FOR Sailing Vessels.
For the gulf ports the advantage is
two days and for most of the ports on
the Atlantic and Pacific one day. The
Nicaragua route is said to be batter for
sailing vessels on account of favoring
winds. Hygenic conditions also favor
Nicaragua.
The commission says the United States
should acquire a strip of territory ten
miles wide from sea to sea through
which to build the canal. The consent
of Nicaragua and Costa Rca must be
obtained to construct the canal, but the
report says this can easily be settled.
Most Practicable Route.
The concessions granted by the Colon.
blan government to the Panama Canal
company. have many years to run, and
new concessions cannot be granted the
United States. The report concludes as
follows:
After considering all the facts de-
Veloped by the investigations made by
the commission. the actual situation as
1t now stands and having in view the
terms offered by the new Panama Canal
company. this commission is of the
opinion that the most practicable and
feasible route for an isthmian canal to
be under the control, management and
ownership Of the United States is that
known as the Nicaragua route"
