aging! IT is an art so subtle. so elu-
sive, that few women understand even
the rudiments of it, Sisters mine, let

Life. In every human being there is
a spark of the divine; it is yours to
fan that spark into a fame-that is
managing a man-it Is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can 90 it.
DO not think that there is anything

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II a.
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
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 its 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 30 great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy OF the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be great ed
ucational movement. Its success as
upon the percentage of our popula-
don who can secure It's 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
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 a radius Of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1880 900
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000 600.
Within a radius of ] 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are $4,000 900.
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 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 1872 miles
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over 70 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 trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation 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 Exposi-
ton, and If held in New Orleans
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could GO to San Francisco. There

seemed outwardly all that could be

ARREST HIS SALVATION
Incarceration May Have Saved Col.
ored Man From Murder Charge.

George Cant. colored. failed to appre-
ciate the advantage of being locked I'D
for several days for murder that was
not murder and that proved to be a
case of accidental drowning But testi-
mony at q coroner's investigation yester-
day into the death, last week. Of Andrew
Michens. also colored. brought out the
fact that his Incarceration saved Cant
from possible Indictment for murder or
manslaughter. The police charge of
murder against Cant led to the finding
Of one Octavius Edmunston. with whom
he had fought the night Michens' body
was found. AS result of the fight Ed
munston had sore finger. which, but
for prompt attention by the police sur
geon. might have developed into a fatal
case of lockjaw, with probably serious
consequences for the man who inflicted
the wound.
Edmundston had been laying low
since the trouble and had not cared to
risk a visit to a physician.
Cant also was suffering from wounds
received in the fight with Edmunston
when he appeared before the coroner's
jury. He was exonerated of the police
charges. and Coroner hewitt rendered a
verdict Of accidental drowning. There
were no marks of violence on the body.
nor had the pocket of Michens' clothes
been emptied. Cant established an alibi
for the night Michens disappeared.
But the end of his troubles was not
yet, for on his release by the coroner he
was Immediately rearrested and held for
the Virginia authorities on q charge of
wife-beating.
