RUSSIANS SAY
THEY KILL JAPS
Due to the Russians Having Under

DOORS ARE FEARFUL.
Japanese, After They Had Succeeded
In Capturing the Three Supple'
meltary Forts, Unable to
Remain In Them.

Chefoo. Sept 30.-Russians residing
here claim to have received information
that the Japanese losses in the last
assault on Port Arthur. which began
Sept. 8. were 1000.
A Chinanan who left the fortress
on Sept. 26 says that the Russian
losses were between 500 and 600.
This Chinaman says the Japanese are
unable TO remain in the three supple
mentary forts which they captured,
and that they abandoned them at 4
o'clock on the afternoon of Sept. 26
after enduring several days of ire
mendous firing from the inner forts.
He adds that the Russians attempted
TO bury the dead on both sides at night
because the decomposing bodies seri-
ously menace the health of the garri-
son. The Russians allege that it Is
the deliberate policy of the japanese
to undermine the health of the Rus
sian troops by means of the odors
from the decomposing bodies, and that

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for " family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine as is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
or has wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin Un-
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, ETC., by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries. There win
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucks at once, for
attaching all klnuS OI pullonS, hooAs
and eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing-machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.
