Once More the Nicaragua Canal Project

Alaska to Cape Horn). whereas on the Tsthmus of Panama it was 564 feet
 This is interesting because the Nica- raugua canal may yet be dug to sup plement for commercial purposes the facilities of the Panama ditch. The route would be 334 miles shorter from New York to San Francisco than by way of the isthmus; and the canal would not cost more than one-third as much as that of Panama-barrng however, the risen price of labor and materials.
 Looking at the map. one sees that Nicaragua is wide compared with the Isthmus of Panama. But also one observes that much of it's mar rowest part is occupied by an immense lake, 100 miles long and 45 miles broad, out of which a large river, called the San Juan, runs eastward all the way of the Caribbean sea. A strip only 12 miles wide separates the lake from the Pacific ocean; three-fourthS of the rivers length is navigable, and thus as it might be said, most of the digging has already been done by na- ture.
 There would be, as matter of fact, about As miles of ditch to be dug; but nearly all of this is through lowlands, and the job would be correspondingly easy.
 The distance across the Tehuante- pee neck is 125 miles as the crow

43 years old. of No. 7S2 Walnut
street, Camden, yesterday when she
was taken into custody by Detective
Hunt as result of charge made
bv Mrs. Mary Shahol, of Reebline.
Mrs. Mitchell is charged with viola
ting the law which prohibits the tell
ing Of fortunes or>of devling into
the future. She furnished SlO0 cash
bail for hearing before Recorder
Stackhouse Friday.
It is alleged by Mrs. Shahol that
she went to the seeress some weeks
ago because her business as mid
wife was falling off She AYERS
that Mrs. Mitchell agreed to let her
have caul for 5000 with the prom
se it would so better conditions by
way of making the stork busy at
Roebling that she would have plenty
to do. Instead the business became
worse and to all appearances tn"
stork passed up the town entirely.
Then Mrs. Shahol made demand on
Mrs. Mitchell for return of the 5000.
After some argument, $500 was re-
turned, but the balance Of 500 was
refused. The warrant then result

With the warrant in his pocket
Detective Hunt went TO the Mitchell
home whore his fortune" was told
nv Mrs. Mitchell. during which the
sleuth learned many amazing things.
At the end and after he had paid
her 81, he asked the alleged sccress
if she knew who he was. She fail
ed TO recognize him and collapsed
when he announced he was dctcc-
tive with a warrant for her arrest.
Nor had Mrs. Mitchell discerned
by her occult powers that all the
while she was telling Detective Hunt
his fortune Detective Kin% was :uSt
around the corner with an automo-
HI" waiting to take her 20 ihc city
hall. IN fact ii was all such rev
elation TO her that she altogether
