IL. III. Ten Eycke Wins the Title by De-
feating Joseph Whitehead.


Worcester, Mass. Oct. Edward Fl.
Ten Eycke is virtually amateur cham
pion single sculler of the United States.
This afternoon, on a perfect course on
Lake Quinsigamond, he defeated Jo-
seph Whitehead of Boston, who won
the national championship in senior
singles at Saratoga Ten Eycke won
the intermediate championship at the
same regatta, and recently won the
senior championship of New England
The match race to-day was for $100 tro-
phies. Probably 5000 people saw the
race, which was mile and half, with
a turn. The time was 9:58 2-5, within
one-quarter of a second of the worlds
record.
Both men rowed 33-strokes. Ten
Eycke had lost the toss and had the
Shrewsbury shore, and what little wind
was blowing was catching his port oar.
Whitehead held the lead for quarter
of a mile and then Ten Eycke went just
bit ahead, evidently having lots in
reserve, and letting his big opponent
make the pace as fast as he could.
At the turn which was reached in
4:5S both men got to the flags almost
together. Ten Eycke made no work
getting around his flag, making three
moves only with his oars, and getting
in a full stroke for home before White
head squared away. Whitehead soon
showed that he was in trouble, his legs
refusing to put the necessary strength
into his slide About half way towards
the finish Whitehead apparently dis
covered that he was beaten, and for
half a dozen strokes he perceptibly let
up.
Thence on Ten Eycke never varied
from about 80 strokes. He soon open
ed up clear water and passed Regatta
Point, a quarter of a mile from the
finish, with his man beaten. White
head was able to make a brilliant squirt
and got so close to Ten Eycke's boat
that only six feet of water showed be-
tween his bow and Ten Ecyle's stern
But no closer could he get, and they
went over the line that way.
Ten Eycke was so tired that he could
not back wate1 enough to keep his boat
from running into the causeway, but
Whitehead was in as bad shape.

MIXED IN Politics; cost HIS JOB
Fate of District-Attorney Who Presided
at a BRYAN Meeting.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Francis r. Las
sitter, United States district attorney
for the eastern district of Virginia, has
resigned as the result of disagreement
with Attorney General Harmon as to
the extent to which government off,
cial can engage in political work Mr..
Lassiter is chairman of the Petersburg
democratic committee and presided
over the meeting addressed by Mr.
Bryan. The attorney general sent a
letter to Mr.. Lassiter, in which he
said:
1T is well settled in this department
that there is an improperly in officials
like you, acting as committeeman, to
manage and conduct political cam
paigns. The same reasons which are
universally held to preclude judges
from active participation in political
campaigns apply, though perhaps in
somewhat less degree, to all officers
concerned in the administration of JUS
tice. The general confidence of the
community in your conduct as a public
officer is at least at risk, if. while hold
ing that office, you so engage in the ex-
citing and often bitter political cam
paigns in which the entire community
is ranged on one side or the other"
Rather than give up participation in
politics, Mr.. Lassiter, upon receiving
the letter of Mr. Harmon, rendered his
resignation, which was accepted.

Colon, Oct. 1-Advices received here
from British Guiana are to the effect
that the yield of gold in that country
is steadily increasing and mining prop
erty is rising in values. Shares in the
Barima mine of the par value of five
dollars are now selling at SIS, and
further advance in value is expected.
The greater portion of the gold pro-

SIGNALS FROM STARS
What May Be Read in Flash-Light
Messages From Distant Suns.
MAY BE SEEN BY ANY ONE
Curious Change in the Star "AIgor'
Which May Be Viewed to Ad-
vantage on the Night of
Jan. 11-Its Explanation.

The curious star known as Algol is
worth watching. 1t may be expected
to change its brightness between s
O'Clock on the evening of Jan. IL and
O'Clock of the following morning. 1t
will begin as a star of the second mag
nitude: at 1923 p. m. four fifths of its
light will be extinguished; in four
hours more its customary brightness
will be regained. This is according to
eastern standard time, which is observ-
ed in ATTITUDES of New York, Boston
and Washington. This change is re-
current, but maye be seen to special
advantage at the date named provided
the sky is clear. Algol thus fades down
from a star of the second magnitude
to one of the fourth every 6S hours and
40 minutes. The phenomenon will
therefore be repeated on Tuesday, the
18th, but the beginning and ending
will be three hours earlier in the even
ing and the time of minimum bright
ness will be at GIL p. m. This dimming
of Algol, ii will be seen, takes place
with considerable frequency, but, how
ever, there are but few times in the
year when the event is at a seasonable
hour and combined with a good posi-
ton of the star for observation.
Algol lies midway between the PIE
fades and the wide side of that sprawl
ing w of bright stars known as CASH
opeia. There is somewhat brighter
star about eight degrees TO the north
of Algol, and a slightly fainter one
about three degrees to the south. These
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-01-16

three stars are on a line pointing to
Polaris. The variation of Algol can
best be detected by careful comparison
with the star of the south.
There is a slight irregularity in the
length of the period of the star. In
stead of going through a monobonous
round of changes IL has for ages been
persistently winking away with a sort
OF flash light message and challenging
us to read 1t; but that we should hope
ever to interpret such a message from
another sun seems we'll nigh imposs

however, to be the results of the mo-
lions of the star and it's dark compan-
ions, not arising from the whims of

mon language. They appear to obey

failing rigor throughout the entire uni
verse and write their story in rhyth

Chandler of Cambridge has accom-
plished the task
The story Is a strange one. The star
which we see has fallen in with two
neighboring suns that give no light
themselves. but one of these at times
passes in front and stops the light from
Algol. This dusky sun is 100000 miles
in diameter. This is a trifle smaller
than the sun of our solar system. Al
gol is about 100000 miles across, and
distant 100000 miles from its strange
companion. These two great orbs OF
night and day revolving in perpetual
embrace must be a strange sight to
those inhabitants of any other worlds
that may be near enough TO discern
them.
There is also another and yet strang-
er story which is brought to US in AL
gol's flash-light. This has been read by
DIR. Chandler in an irregularity in the
period between successive eclipses of
Algol. From this he finds that this
curious pair are not twin suns at the
center of some planetary system, but
that Algol is in reality a great fiery
planet revolving about a dark central
sun in an orbit as large as that traced
by Uranus, and with a period of 100
years.
In another part of the sky is a still
stranger flashing star known as Mira.
Its period is IL months. Unlike Algol
IL for the most part remains in OBJ
security. and only for few days at a
time flashes into brightness. One OF
these returns 10 brightness is now be-
ing looked for. The cause and meaning
of Mira's changes has not yet been as
certained. ;. w. Balch.
