been made in securing a fund by subscription
from the citizens of $50 900, the committee
following the example Of committees IN other
cities where encampments have been held,
asked the only legislature which the city has,
namely, Congress, for an appropriation from the
municipal fund to aid in defraying the expense
of the entertainment of the Grand Army The
House, however, saw fit to take the money
solely from the revenues of the District instead
of from the general municipal fund, toward
which Congress contributes as the owner of 81
per cent of the real estate in the city. This

The Juvenile Ease bali Championship
of Helena Won By the Reed

q. A. Donnell, of Denver, won the eight
mile race yesterday at Athletic park In
53:06. beating William Rideout, Of Helena,
about 200 feet. Hyde Johnson, of Butte,
came in about a lap behind. The fourth
contestant, Joe Day, Of San Francisco. left
the track after covering six laps. About
200 spectators witnessed the race. Rideout
was a great ~favorite among she white and
colored sporting men, having won q ten
mile race at Butte recently against the
same contestants. The Helena men who
lost their money on him are willing to back
Rideout again, provided it is q ten-mile
race. 1t was announced that the start
would be made at three O'Clock, but 1t was
an hour later before the men appeared on
the track. All were in good condition.

mile, stopped at the water bucket in front
of the referee and tim keeper. BY this
time Johnson had the lead. with Donnell
at his heels and Rideout about half a lap
behind. In the fifth mile Donnell was
running strong, with Rideout a half lap
away, and johnson behind him. In this
mile Rideout passed Donnell near scratch.
but only held the lead for a little over a
half lap. when the Denver man overlook
him and kept the lead until the finish.
When Donnell was declared the winner he
looked to be good for two moro miles at the
pacs he was running. Offers ofs$100 TO
$50 were made while Donnell was doing his
last two laps. but there were no takers. 1t
was a sweepstakes race, each man putting
in $50, and a percentage of the gate re-
ceipts went to the winner.

Astrology and tho Bible.


All the ancient nations and peoples of
the earth, from the earliest Egyptians and
Babylonians and Grecians down to the
OH istian era, had their systems Of astrol-
ogy and professional ~astrologers to guide
their actions in all their great undertake
ings III war and peace. The Jews were
fully exuosed to all the influences of this
vast popular delusion and fatal error of
tue ancient enlightened peoples of the
earth. The nations most devoted to this
widespread and popular error, that the
stars would safely guido them in all their
undertakings, were those nearest to and
who had the most influence over the Jews.
The Arabs. the nearest relatives of the
Jews, and their constant, but nomadio
neighbors, undertook no tribal work and
engaged in no expeditions without consult
ing the stars. TIL Babylonians. the Chal-
deans, the Persiana, the Egyptians and the
more enlightened Europeans had theic ma
tional astrologers and professional teachers
of the art astrological, but the Jews never,
save in cases OF temporary detection,
adopted any system of astrology. This
popular and facInating GIRO which held
the nations from Abraham to Josephus,
never acqui cd Il permanent influence over
the Jews. The Jewish scriptures of all an
cient books arc free from the delusi ms of
astrology. Will some one tell US why the
Jews alone, and their numerous sacred
books, escaped this universal and facina-
ting error? Moses and David and jeremiah
we'll knew that the Introduction of the as
trological tables and teachings SO popular
in their days, would have given their writ
inRs a far greater, the greatest possible
power among the ~nntionH.
There IL but one answer. one explanation,
to this isolated and unpopular position of
the Jews among the nations, that they
alone rejected this national, this powerful,
this all prevailing error of the world. Their
books were inspired and hence from all
errors, among others the error Of astroiogy,
which prevaded all other books of their age.

Astronomy and the Bible.

In passing from astroloRy to astronomy,
We pass from superstition to science, from
the ideas of those, who would rule by the
superstitious tendencies of man to those
who appeal to his knowledge of convictions
of truth. While IL is very true, the wisest
men of the nations from Hesiod to Ptolemy
held opinions more or less erroneous, they
were constantly making progresa towards
the true system of the universe.
But while these errors permeated all the
ancient systems of religion and while all
contemporaneous PHILOSOPHERS and sciences
were built upon erroneous astronomical
yiews, and while the eontemporaneous
books of the world were full of them, the
