NEW ORLEANS
CITY 10 LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark Il ~
Most Suitable Spot for Dedl-
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 at It's ap
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
Ing this Exposition, and both cities
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 as
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 "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
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 therefrom.
Within radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,00O
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within radius O. 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with COM
bined population Of just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent. Of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portatien expenses for trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many Of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
ton, and II held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could 60 to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or
leans in the contest.

how" to the amateur sleuth.
That gentleman cleared his throat.
There were two reasons" he said,
''for suspecting it, When you see a
man with the lines of his face droop-
ing, healthy individual with a pen
sive eye-suspect astigmatism. Be-
sides, this gentleman has pro-
ncunced line across the bridge OF his
nose and a mark on his ear from the
chain"
After this remarkable exhibition of
the theoretical as combined with the
practical, he sank into a seat near by,
and still holding the chain, sat with
closed eyes and pursed lips. It was
evident to all the car that the solution
of the mystery was question of mo-
ments. Once he bent forward eagerly
and putting the chain on the window
sill, proceeded to go over it with a
pocket magnifying glass, only to
shake his head in disappointment. All
the people around shook their heads,
too, although they had not the slight
est idea what it was about.
The pounding in my ears began
again. The group around me seemed
to be suddenly motionless in the very
act Of moving, as if hypnotist had
called Rigid" The girl in blue was
looking at me, and above the din /
thought she said she must speak to
me-something vital The pounding
grew louder and merged into scream.
With a grinding and splintering the
car rose under my feet. Then it fell
away into darkness.

sheet of fly paper, finds himself more
and more mired, and is finally quiet
with the sticky stiffness of despair?
Well, was the fly. l had seen too
much of circumstantial evidence to
have any belief that the establishing
of my identity would weigh much
against the other discriminating de-
tails. 1t meant Imprisonment and
trial, probably, with all the notoriety
and loss of practice they would en-
tail. A man thinks quickly at time
like that. All the probable conse-
book flashed through my mind as ex-
tended my hand to take it. Then
drew my arm back.
II don't want it." I said. Look in
side. Maybe the other man took the
money and left the wallet"
The conductor opened it, and again
there was a curious surging forward
of the crowd. To my intense disap-
pointment the money was still there.
l stood blankly miserable while 1T
was counted out-five 500 bills, six
twenties and some fives and ones that
brought the total to $3.50.
The little man with the notebook
insisted on taking the numbers of the
notes, to the conductors annoyance.

that morning I was as near as man
ever comes to hysteria.

mental shake. I seemed to be the
center Of hundred eyes, expressing
every shade of doubt and distrust, but
l tried not to finch. Then some one
created diversion.
The amateur detective was busy
eating the make of the safety razor
and the manufacturers name on the
bronze-green tie. Now, however, he
paused and frowned, as though some
pet theory had been upset.
Then from a corner of the bag he
drew out and held up for our inspec-
tion some three inches of fine gold
chain, one end of which was black
ened and stained with blood!
The conductor held out his hand for
it, but the little man was not ready
to give it up. He turned to me.
You say no watch was left you?
Was there piece of chain like that?"
"No chain at all" said sulkily. "No
jewelry of any kind, except plain gold
buttons in the shirt / am wearing"

threw at me suddenly; instinctively
