At the Russian Front, Thursday,
Oct. Is, by way of Mukden, Oct. 15.-
The Japanese offensive began Tues
day along the whole line. The hot
test work was on the Russian extreme
right, where the fighting for the pos
session at Hau Pass and Tumin Pass
did not cease until midnight.
The Russians succeeded In captur-
ing the latter though at fearful cost.
The position at Poliasautzi, still fur
ther toward the Taitse river, held by
the 1'omsk regiment, was furiously as
saulted and the regiment lost heavi-
ly. The Tamboff regiment extricted
Itself from a seemingly hopeless posi-
ton and succeeded in sffecting its re-
tirement The Russians stuck to most
of their positions heroieally Tuesday
except at the Schili river. On the
morning of Wednesday the Japanese
renewed their attack preparing the
way for their infantry with an artil
lery bombardment. At noon the Rus
sian right began falling back, but the
attack on the Russian center and left
weakened perceptibly.
The infantry fire slackened in |
evening, but the rife fire continued
with little intermission throughout the
night
The japanese today Thursday, Oct
13) renewed their attacks ard the
battle proceeded with varying suo
cesses, but on the whole, favorable to
the japanese, as the Russians contin
ued to give ground.
The Russian wounded are being
sent north to Harbin.

Weddings.

An innovation Of any sort at June
weddings Is hailed with delight, for
there is something almost depressing
about the newspaper accounts OF the
same old veil. fastened with the same
old orange blossoms. the same old
shower bouquet. and the same white
bridal gown
OF course. these features Of weddings
never will change. Our great-great-
grandrnothers wore white wedding
gowns and lace wells apd carried bou-
quets. and this will be done TO the end
Of time. while orange blossoms are sup
posed to actually bring good luck and
happiness TO the wearer. 50 1t is only
along other lines that innovations may
appropriately be made.
washington had its little modest. and
altogether girlish innovation Wednesday
evening. when at the wedding Of Miss
Cordelia Patterson Snyder and Captain

auets and having imported handles OF

Of the houses in Mexico were but a
short time ago, provided with windows

though many Of the modern houses are
