Sunday night, July a, . number of Helena
people went over to Deer Lodge to be pres

(the Christian church, at that place, Of the
Rev. Joseph Isaaos, converted Jewish
rabbi. At the request Of Mr.. Isaaos nothing
was said in the papers about the affair.
During the past week Mr.. Isaacs came over
Ito Helena and yesterday morning he was
taken into the Christian church here, Civ
ing his name as Joseph Isaaca It was an
nounced at the close Of the morning service
that Mr.. Isaacs would tell at the evening
service something about his conversion to
christianity and Of his life since he had re-
nounced the Jewish faith. Among those
erend gentleman was Mr.. o. S. Wiggles-
worth, who was in Denver during the month
of June, and who had heard converted
Jewish rabbi while there tell of his suffer
ings and ALSO of his destitute condition.
This convert had on the 22d of June been
baptized into the Baptist church,
While standing on Ewing street

Wigglesworth rather rapidly. but not

which he took the ground that the
men who had put down the rebellion
never had received the remuneration
they deserved. He advocated the inn
mediate enactment OF service pen
sion bill. Maj. Mckinley replied To
the General. and especially took issue
with him In his position that the vet
eran OF the war had fought forpaya and
not for love OF country. A running
debate followed between the General
and the Congressman, which was high
ly exciting while IL lasted. but con-
cluded amicably.

THE CAMP FIRE.



OF all the "reminiscences OF Chicka-
mauga's iron hail-storm, Jim Brother
tons experience Is the hardest strain
on credulity. Jim was fighting the
best he knowed how" He was In the
thickest of the assault on Snodgrass
hill. AS he charged across the road
and over the field toward the Dyer
farm Jim caught glimpse OF the
house he was born in. But yalor did
not make Jim forget discretion. lie
took advantage OF all the pine trees
he could when going into and coming
out OF the hight. On his back was
strapped his knapsack, and over the
knapsack was rolled his blanket. The
two made hump which projected be-
yond the trees behind which Jim took
temporary shelter. When Jim UNI
loaded his knapsack and blanket the
night after the battle no found that
thirty-seven bullets had penetrated IL.
Yes. SIR" said Jim. looking the lis
tener straight In the eyes. thirty
seven bullets had gone into my blan-
ket and knapsack -thirty-seven bull
let's and two buckshot. III / had that
blanket and knapsack now / wouldn' I
take 81, 900 for them. After the bat
tie l gave them 10 mother and told her
TO keep them for me until ! came back
from the war. But you know how 1t
Ii when folks is moving around.
Things get lost. don't know what
became OF the blanket or knapsack. y
There was only one veteran who
told story which approached that OF
Jim Brotherton In picturesqueness.
He was Private Sinnatt. Private Sin
matt Is particularly anxious to meet
and renew acquaintance with some OF
the Twelfth Georgians. A big man of
the Twelfth Georgia saved his life,
Private Sinnatt says. He explained
how. When he got into what seemed
10 him the hottest place he had ever
found Private Sinnatt lay down be-
hind a tree which wasn't more than
eight inches through and made hip-
self AS small as possible. While he
lay there wondering how long II would
be before he would be hit a strapping
fellow from the Twelfth Georgia grab
bed him by the leg. lifted him from
behind the tree, and lay down where
he had been. Sinnatt says the Gcor-
gian was about twice rs big as he was
lie couldn't lick him. SO he made the
best OF bad situation, crawled up
behind the Georgian, and kept quiet
1t wasn't but few minutes until u ball
hit the Georgian and killed him.
Sinnatt lay still behind the body
which stopped fifteen bullets before
the wave OF battle passed on. That
Is why Private Sinnatt says he will
always cherish kindly feeling for the
Twelfth Georgia.

blackness is apparently bare of color.
The nasalized form OF the word Is

whiteness Is also apparently bare of

the old Germans and the An lo-Saxons,

John Run and nj. Gun.

Secretary Proctor has received a
present OF a new Enfield rifle from the
English government as sample Of
the style OF arm now in use in the
British service. IL Is handsomely en-
cased in a polished wooden box. with
silver plates and corners. and lined
with blue velvet. Ii is OF the latest
magazine pattern, thirty calibre, and
weighs about ten pounds. The action
Is exceedingly strong and positive. the
breech mechanism being thoroughly
automatic. The magazine is sheet
iron case half an inch thick and about
four inches square, fitting TO the under
side OF the lock. A gate shuts IL OF at
the will OF the operator. so that the
gun can be used either as magazine or
single firing arm. IL is provided
with novelty in the way OF n long
range sight designed TO cover distanc-
cs from 800 10 $500 yards. but the
ordinary sight is not considered as
fine as that In use on the American
Springfield rifle. The cartridges are
shaped somewhat after the design Of
the famous Lobel cartridge. the leaden
ball being encased In thin steel sheet
for the purpose OF preventing the dis
tortion OF the bullet
The bayonet is OF "A new design. that

gun In such "A manner that the sight
Is not interfered with, this being n
new advantage. The bayonet Is pro-
vided with leather sheath and Is use
ful for many purposes other than that
OF jabbing into human vital. The
smaller calibre OF this gun is soon go-
ing TO be adopted in the American SER
vice. as IL has now come TO be consid-
cred the most effective. A board will
soon be ordered TO examine the vari-
Gus magazine guns OF small calibers
now in use, with view TO the sclec-
ton OF more modern arm for our
forces.

Discovering tho North Pole.

Norwegian navigators still cling te
the idea OF discovering the north pole
Their hopes are based upon the fac,
that various articles from the Pacific
are occasionally found stranded on tho
coast OF Greenland having been car.

instance of this Is the finding there OF
pair OF oilskin trousers marked with
the name OF one OF the crew Of vessel
that had been wrecked on the Pacific

that where pair of trousers can 90 .
