Graves Sues National Base Ball Club. ns Suit at law to recover $5,000 damages was teday instituted against the National Base Ball Club of this city by Robert P. Graves. In his declaration, Mr. Graves states that September 4 last he visited the ball park to witness a game of base ball between the Washington and Louisville clubs, pay- ing the usual price of admission. While conducting himself in a quiet and : Tanner, says Mr. Graves, the de- fendant company, by its employes, ejected him without cause from the grounds, there- by causing him great .nental and bodily pain, humiliation and mortification, and hindering him from witnessing the game. ee Miss Ascherfeld’s Recital. ‘The demand for tickets to the compli- mentary piano recital, given by Miss Clara Ascherfeld at the Bradbury palace of music, far exceeded ail expectations, and the result was a crowd that filled every seat and overflowed to the front doors. Miss Ascherfeld is a talented young musi- cian, and her recital today gave eviderice of a genuinely musical temperament. A facile technique !s aliied to originality of conception in her work. She displayed in- telligence in her rendition of the difficult works and was heartily applauded.

His forepaws are together and are marked by a similar pair of stars midway between the “Pointers,” in the bowl of the Dipper, and the Twins, Castor and Pollux, which will now be found in midheavens in the west. The three pairs of stars above pointed out He in line with one another, and, taken two and two, are at about equal distances apart. With these hints the Bear should be located easily, and a lively im- agination may possibly discover here some vague likeness to the animal whose name the constellation has borne from time im- memorial—from a time, apparently, before the Bear lost his tail, in the way described in German folklore. * Between Leo and the southeastern hori- zon is.Virgo, the Maiden, the sixth of the zodiacal constellations. Virgo contains one star of the first magnitude, Spica, the Wheat-Ear. As a constellation the Maiden is equally mystifying with the Great Bear. She now stands erect, her feet just above the horizon, her head half way to the zenith; but one looks here in vain for any trace of the angelic, winged creature de- picted on a celestial chart. The most no- ticeable part of the constellation is a Y- shaped figure which springs from the star Spica, as its base, the arms being formed by five stars, four of the third and one of the fourth magnitude, the central oue of which is Gamma Virginis, noted last month as a beautiful double star. Objects of Beauty. In the east Arcturus, the splendid Bear ‘Warden, may be seen at about one-third of the distance from the horizon to the zenith. Arcturus, Spica, Denebola (the second- magnitude star in the tail of Leo) and Cor Caroli (a star of the third magnitude about midway between Arcturus and the bowl of the Dipper, the principal star in the Hunt- ing Dogs) ‘form together a large lozenge- shaped figure, known as the Diamond of ‘Virgo, which, though a modern constella- tion, like the Dipper and the Sickle, is one ef the grand landmarks of the summer evening sky. West of Leo are the two “Dogs of Orion,” Procyon and Sirius, and just above the western horizon reclines Orion himself, with his two first-magnitude stars, Betel- geuse and Rigel. A little north of west Taurus is setting, its brightest star, Aldebaran, being nearly on the horizon. In the northeast,” about thirty degrees nigh, is Capella, in Auriga, the rival of Arcturus in brilliancy. Turning again to Leo, we note that the region below this constellation, extending from Virgo, on our left, to the two Dogs, on our right, is remarkably poor in stars, contrasting in this respect strikingly with the western quadrant of the wens. The brightest star in this extens|ve region is one of the second magnitude, situated some twenty degrees southwest of Regulus. This star, conspicuous its loneliness, is Cor Hydrae, the Hydra’s Heart, known also as Alphard, the Solitary one. Of Enormous Length. ‘The ‘greater part of this starless region is occupied by the Hydra, or Water Snake, whose “heart” has just been pointed out— @ constellation remarkable chiefly for its enormous length of over one hundred de- grees. It would seem as if the ancient star- seventh magnitude, and would be lost to the naked eye. eta Measured by Years. The nearest of these stabs, According to Dr. Elkin, is Procyon, of;:which the dis- tance is given as 124 light-years. Altair, one of the ten not visible’ tonight,’ comes next at a distance of 16.8 light’ years. Next comes Aldebaran, at 28 light years. Capel- la and Regulus are at about the mean dis- tance of 36 light years. In the cases of the remaining five stars the quantity to be measured proved to be so minute that little confidence could be placed in the results obtained, farther than to regard them as fixing a minimum for the distances of these stars. Thus, sixty-seven years was con- sidered to be the least distance which could be assigned to Arcturus, with the proba- bility that actually its distance is much greater than this. Astronomers speak of this star, indeed, as not improbabiy two hundred light years distant from us, and Miss Agnes Clerke, in her System of the Stars, regards it as “perhaps the most stupendous sun within our imperfect cog- nizance.” Dr. Gill has come to a conclusion respect- ing the distance of Rigel which, if accept- ed, compels us to conceive of this star as dwarfing even Arcturus. Dr: Gill thinks that the distance of Rigel is more than twenty million times that of the stn, a dis- tance which would give it a “light journey” of 320 years, or more than thirty times that of Sirius. In order to shine for us as bril- Mantly as it does at that unthinkable dis- tance it must emit light equal in amount, upon a moderate estimate, to that of 10,000 suns. There is something so astounding in this conclusion that one is strongly in- clined to suspect that some essential mat- ter has been overlooked by Dr. Gill, which, if considered, would have lessened his con- fidence in his result. Indeed, the present method of determining star distances is ad- mitted by al! astronomers to have an ele- ment of weakness which cannot easily be eradicated, and to be, for that reason, not as reliable as could be wished. If the star ef which the distance is sought and the “comparison stars,” used in the observa- tions, happen to be at about the same dis- tance from us—and there is no way of tell- ing offhand whether this is the case or not —then the method employed breaks down, and the result obtained 1s misleading. There is really a good deal of guesswork, as well as very difficult observation, in- volved in the determination of the distance of a star. Still, as to the main truth that even the nearest of the stars are enormous- ly _remote—so remote. that we must con- ceive of them as‘suns comparable with our own sun in size, and in many cases vastly larger than it, there.is no room for doubt. The Planets. Mercury will be an evening star through- out the month, and should. be visible dur- ing the ensuing two weeks or longer.

To the Editor f The Evening Stur: I read with much interest your editorial of today upon prospective enlistments, summed up in your concluding sentence commending all would-be volunteers to achieve membership in the National Guard through which the War Department and ccmmon sense say they should be filtered. One or two, objections thereto suggested themselves to me as I read, but nothing to begin to equal those stated on page 15 of same paper in the article, “Rights of Mili- tia,” quoted from Colonel .Morrison, in which it is plainly laid down that each in- dividual National Guardsman has the in- alienable privilege in case of a foreign war to decide for himself whether pr not he will do any other than purely defensive fighting; that his oath to state or country limits his obedience only to the boundary lines thereof. So that if Spain, or England, or. any other place, should land a force here, go across lots in fire and blood, es- caping on the other side, only the still small voice of the individual National Guardsman could decide for him whether he would follow and punish. If this be law, and the authority cannot be ques- tioned, I think the “‘War Department on Common Sense” are wrong, decidedly. Let them take men who enlist “for the war,” and are willing to fight it out wherever duty calls cn earth, on the water or in the air. That’s the kind of soldiers we want and must have. It is begging the question tosay that there is no doubt but that the National Guardsman would crdered. Major Morrison quotes a strong contrary ircident.
