ADJUSTMENTS FREE
 AT NATIONAL FAIR

A thoroughly attractive array of amusement features. for which no ex- tra charge will be made to the visit ing public, has been provided for the National Farm and Live Stock Show at New Orleans, Nov. 10 to 19.
 Chief of these free attractions is Ruth Law, world famous aviatrix, who will make day and night flights, not only looping the loop, but performing some of the aerial tactics which are far more thrilling and which have been developed by the reckless cour- age of the flyers serving under all the flags clashing in the war. Miss Law Is probably the highest salaried rwom- an in the world. A few prima donnas may receive more for single appear ance, but they do not perform so often.
 Steam fireworks will be seen at New Orleans for the first time Fink's Comedy Mule Circus will have an ar ray Of clever dogs, monkeys .and men in addition to the mules The Four Roeders do an equilibrium act dart, heralded as marvel. Enford's Whirl> ing Sensation has been the thriller at most of the big fairs. Olympia de Vail and company, with exceptional riders, horses and dogs, have been en- gagged as special feature for the Night Horse Show, and also will ap- pear every day.
 The Night Horse Show on Friday and Saturday Nov 16 and IT. will be one of the elite events of the fair, and will attract attendance from the ranks of society not only of New Orleans, but throughout the south.

The horse department and the night horse shows will bring back the al most departed equine glory of the Old South. That is not all the unique dis tinction attaching to this part of the National Farm and Live Stock Show, at New Orleans, Nov. 10 to 19.

We have often heard the ex- pression, "Tis a long lane that has no turning" The friends of Miss Ruth Haley were brought to the realization of this fact Tuesday afternoon, October the twenty third when Mrs. H. w. Burrow entertained with a shower in her honor.
 The early part of the after noon was given to the older people who began to arrive about two o'clock. They were welcomed into a room beauti- fully decorated with ferns, cu- pies and hearts, and were from there ushered into the dining room, similarly decorated, where delicious punch, coffee and sand wiches were served.
 "That Old Sweetheart of Mine' was read with much ex- peression and feeling by Miss Ottie Huff, while softly and sWeetly Mrs. Fraser played the approriate melody of Hearts and Flowers. ;,
 The guests were then seated in circle with Miss Hailey in the center. T. c.

DR.. MATTHEWS TALKS TURKEY

To letter sent out to the various
preachers Of the city by the secretary, Mrs.
w. L. Presto, of the Association, the only
one to reply was the Rev. Dr. Mark A.
Matthews, which was read at the meeting,
and is as follows:
My Dear Madam:
''Yours received and contents carefully
noted.
II am astonished that you have not
heard nor have seen reports of the sermons
l have preached denouncing lynching, mob
rule, inhumane and other improper treat
ments Of mankind in general and especially
of the colored men. In one sermon I put
the lyncher on the same plane with the man
who had committed the crime for which he
was being lynched In other words both
are beyond the pale of law and stand
equally condemned before the bar of JUS
tice.
'There is no excuse for lynching law.
I have spoken from my pulpit here and
have spoken throughout the country against
the inhumane treatment that has been adj
ministered. Of course, it will do more good
when [ make tri p through the sections
affected by the violence of the mob shall
gladly speak on the subject when visiting
the East and the South You may rest as
sured I will do everything in my power
to establish law and order and that I de-
nounce with all the power possess the rule
Of the mob. 1 am,
Respectfully yours,
I'M A. MATTHEW'S.
DR.. Matthews is the foremost divine of
this city and has been one of the greatest
powers for good that Seattle has ever had.
He it was that closed open gambling, the
slot machines and sent chief of the police
to the state penitentiary and came very
near sending mayor and other police Of
icers to a similar institution.

W. H. Paulhamus, the berry king of
Puyallup, advocates that all of the judges
OF the superior court appoint board of
arbltrators to settle the disputes between
capital and labor, to which we would
gladly say, amen, if the great middle class
did not have to eventually pay the freight.
The letter written by Dr. Matthews to-
Mrs. Presto has the right ring to it and
when he has preached his doctrine to his
Southern friends much good will result
therefrom. Other ministers of the gospel
