DIR. KING TO LECTURE

Dr. Byron W. King of Philadelphia will make his initial appearance in our city tomorrow evening. The comments of such men as Lawrence Barrett, Senator Hogg, John B. Cough, Ignatius Donnel- ly and others is sufficient guarantee of his wonderful versatility, of his genius, his mastery of expression and magnetic eloquence. "He literally sways his audi ences," said a critic. They go with nim to the depths and ascend with him to the mountain tops of human feeling. Dr. King has run the ganlut of degrees until Ph. D.. crowns him with it's distinction. In his lectures Dr. Kings wit is scintillat- ing his humor irresistible, his pathos heart-rending, his logic convincing and his eloquence amazing. He is man of soul, brain and force and appeals to all that is pure and elevated in the human heart and mind.'
 He comes to St. Johns Methodist Epis- copal church, South Twentieth street, Monday evening. February 21, under the auspices of the Home. Missionary society.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY 70 LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
IT. Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II al
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations Of the world
may participate: and the question OF
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress ut its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor Of hold
Ing this Exposition. and both cites
have guaranteed immense sums Of
money as an evidence Of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy Of the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build. will be a great ed
ucational movement Its success rs
such. however. will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages. this in turn. depends up
on its location. as the time In travel
Ing to and from the Exposition. and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares. are the most important factors.
Considering these matters. New
Orleans claims to being the 'LOsi-
cal Point" for this Panama ENpOst
ton. seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco Is $500 miles
distant therefrcm.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1850 900
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000
Within a radius Of 900 miles from
New Orleans. there are 65.O00.000
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans. there are 20 Of our
principal cities with q combined
population Of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities. with a com
bined population Of just 100000
The average distance Of all these
cities to New Orleans Is 792 miles,
to San Francisco 2.4O7 miles.
Over IS per cent. o! the people o,
he United States could 60 to an
Exposition there at an average ex.
pense for railroad fare of $3.50. rs
against an average OF $3.50 to the
