BAD season for Vessel owners,

According to the European maritime
rapers, it is probable that the German
navigation companies will distribute
tbs year only a small dividend, if they
distribute one at all. This was ex.
pected IL account of the diminution
fn the number of emigrants, which has
continued during the year, and the de-
crease in the freight transported. The
figures for emigrants for America
through Hamburg and Bremen will be
300. 900 lower this year than in 1907.

A GOLDEN WEDDING.
MIR. and Mrs. T. J. Levan Celebrated
Event

Event.
Mr.. and Mrs. 81. @. Nathan re-
turned home Tuesday evening from
Dubuque where they attended the
golden wedding. of Mrs. Nathan g
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. J. Levan.
The Herald takes the following
telling of the event from the Du-
buque Times Journal and the Tele-
rgaph Herald.
Times-Journal.- 1.-The golden we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas J.
Levan, two of Dubuque's most high
~ esteemed residents, was celebrated
Monday with family gathering at
the Levan home, SO Highland Place.
The guests included only the i'm
mediate relatives of the worthy coup
lie, but all day congratulations and
gifts poured in from friends in the
city and elsewhere to whom the day
recalled some happy recollections of
other days beneath the hospitable
roof of Mr.. and Mrs. Levan.
Mrs. Levan, whose maiden name
was Miss Martha B. McDaniels, was
born in this city sixty eight years
ago Monday, so that the celebration
of her golden wedding also commem-
Grated her birthday. On April 26,
1859, she was united in marriage to
Thomas j. Levan, of Lockport, N.
Y, and the couple have lived here
ever since. MIR. Levan, who is the
we'll known commission merchant,
is nearing tn seventy fifth milestone.
but like his worthy helpmeet still
retains the vigor and vim of his
younger days. Twenty-Five years ago
the couple celebrated their silver
wedding anniversary, and now on
their golden wedding day, their
friends unite in the wish that they
may live to celebrate tbeir diamond
jubilee and in that the memory of all
three celebrations may crown the
sunset of their lives with a halo of
peace and contentment. Mr.. and Mrs.
Levan are the parents of six CHILDREN.
They are: Mrs. 81. Nathan, of Lam
caster, Wis. Mrs George Hughes, Of
Wichita, Kas., Mrs. c. W. Walton, of
OAKLAND, Cal Mrs. Fred Klee. T. J..
and &c ,rge Levan. of this city. All
the children and their families, with
the exception of Mrs Walton and Mrs.
Hughes, were present at the celebra
tion.

The unprecedented late spring
has put many farmers in the vicinity
of Lancaster in bad way for stock
feed. Usually at tn iime of the
year stock can pick good reed in the
pastures, but this year the cold
weather has stunted the grass SO that
the little that has grown is short and
contains little nutriment. The farm
ers living in those parts that were
struck by the violent hail and win !
storm of last year have been buying
feed for several months. One case
of stock starvation has been reported.
The matinee at the Orpheum
Family theater Saturday afternoon
had record breaking attendance.
Long before the box-office was opened
there was crowd of youngsters wait
ing to be admitted. After the doors
were thrown open it took but short
time for every seat to be filled. Many
were forced to stand up. Talk about
your happy kids. It was we'll worth
the price of admission for the older
people just to watch the pleased ex-
pressions on their faces and to hear
their hearty unfeigned laughter and
applause. Next Saturday the manage
ment will give to every child accom-
panied by either father or mother q
useful souvenir. Parents are assured
that they will be as we'll pleased with
these presents as the children. If the
theater is we'll filled Saturday a
photograph will be taken of the in
terror.

TELLS SOME REMARKABLE
THINGS or RADIUM ENERGY

LONDON, May 5.-Prof. Sir ]. j.
Thomson in lecture delivered at the
Royal institution has made some re-
markable statements about the energy
developed by radium.
Radlum gave out about a million
times as much energy, he said, as was
given by an equal weight of oxygen
when it combined with hydrogen. 1t
was developed by rapidly moving
atoms Of bellum shot out with in
credible velocity approaching one-tenth
that of light.
Where the energy came from, to give
these heavy things this enormous
velocity, was a most interesting prob
lem. He asked them to imagine the
state of other atoms, being bombarded
by these helium particles as large as
themselves. The condition of a ship
exposed to the fire of Dreadnaughts
would be child's play compared with
the condition of IN atom exposed to
q battery of these particles.
If they imagined a town exposed to
a bombardment of shots as large as
houses and moving thousand times
more quickly than ANY shot ever fired
from cannon they would have some
idea OF the condition OF a gas exposed
to the battery of radium. Every helium
particle left 10000 wrecks of molecules
of the gas it was bombarding.

OCCIDENTAL HITS
SAINTS TEAM HARD

Occidental walloped the st. Vincent
high school yesterday afternoon on the
Occidental campus, scoring runs almost
at will and hitting like demons. The
varsity men showed the best form thus
far this season and played like bunch
of veterans
The score was tied, l to 1, until the
last of the fifth inning, when on three
hits and costly errors by the Saints
the Presbyterians scored four runs and
cinched the game. Kerfoot, who was
on duty for the Saints, was bumped
hard at critical times, and in addition
to this was wild throughout the entire
game, as is shown when he hit two
men, walked three and made two wild
pitches. On the other hand, Patter-
son was in great form and had the
props slugging the air at his slow
twisters, allowing but six scattered
hits and striking out nine. st. Vim
cent was able to score only on wild
throws by the Occidental infielders,
and when it came to hitting the ball
when hits meant runs the Catholics
were unable to come through.
Johnson and Lockwood batted we'll
for the former, getting four safeties,
while the latter secured three. Canepa
also batted in great style, getting three
beauties. The summary:

OXY 'INELIGIBLES'
THIRST FOR BLOOD
FAST TEAM CHALLENGES ALL
HIGH SCHOOLS
Players from Presbyterian College
Think They Are Better Than
Regulars and Want to
Prove II

Occidental boasts Of two baseball
teams, either one Of which would do
Justice to any institution. In addition
to the varsity team, there Is "a team
called the Ine1igibles, which consists
mostly of players who are ineligible TO
play in regular intercollegiate contests
for various reasons. Several of these
men are as good at the game as the
regulars and have shown their class on
other teams.
Bird who is pitching, has played
center field for the varsity for the last
three or four years, but was declared
ineligible by the faculty this year be-
cause of some low marks in his sub
jects. Since his debut as pitcher he
has shown his class by pitching a i've
hit game against Monrovia high school,
a three-hit game against the U. G.
Doctors and by defeating the regular
( varsity team in close contest last
week.
Thomson, the big hurdler. who made
such a record on the cinderpath this
spring, is doing the catching, and Is
the best in school at present, he being
prevented from playing on the regular
team on account of parental objection
He has whip to second like bullet
and has been hitting the ball like a
flend lately.
Longacre, on first base, has played
at Purdue university. but Is ineligible
on account of the one years residence
rule. Robertson, at short, is speedier
than the varsity man and Is a good
hitter. Hunt, at third, and Boynton,
at second, complete a very fest and
sure infield. In the outfield Lowry,
Carus and Casey Hayes take care Of
all the stray flies and incidentally hit
the ball squarely on the nose now and
then at bat.
The team is open to games during
the week, away from home or at home
on Saturday mornings, high schools
preferred. Address Raymond Hunt,
Occidental college.

A large attendance last night at the
rooms of the Los Angeles Athletic club
witnessed the fencing and broadsword
contests, under the direction of Profess
sor Uyttenhove. From the manner of
the high-class exhibitions, both foils
and broadswords are taking we'll among
the members of the club. There is
some talk around the club to- the eff
feet that a challenge will be issued to
the Pasadena Y M. c. A. shortly.
Cliff Horne won the fencing contest
against A. Beaudry. This was a keen
affair and showed results of hard,
faithful training of both athletes.
Edward Dietrich winner of the
Mount Wilson hill Glib last month, won
the broadsword event from Heller
During the first round neither candi-
date tried TO show much form, but in
the last two both men tried to win As
Dietrich showed more form and speed
he was declared the winner.

FISH DINNER If
REDOND0 Is WINNER

At the Southern State league meet
ing last night Manager Murphy of Re-
dondo declared that If he won the pen
nant he would give a first class fish
dinner to the magnates of the league,
consequently all the low teams are pull
ing for Redondo to win, as this is the
best offer to date. Maggie of Rivera was
given few anxious moments when
Allen moved that the protest of Han
sen be entertained. Hansen protested
because of the bad condition of the Los
Nietos grounds. Maggie was finally let
off on promise to put the grounds in
first class condition for next Sunday.
Male, the fast little infielder, will be
seen In the lineup of the Pico Heights
team next Sunday. Frank Abbott, the
elongated twirler of Redondo, who has
been promised a tryout by Charlie
Graham of Sacramento, will perform on
the mound for the Sand Crabs Sunday.
Downey and Huntington Park both
took a new lease on life Sunday by
winning, and although neither has
chance for the pennant, they have a
chance to puff UP a few places.
Manager Rice of the Florence Gra-
hams declares he will take Rivera down
a few notches, and incidentally boost
himself Sunday. Redondo will be out
in full force Sunday when Pico Heights
appears there, as the Heights team
won the last time out, and Murphy's
pets want to make an even break of
the series. Manager Reeve believes he
has the right combination and viii pre-
sent the same lineup as before, Wylie
being in the box. while Price will do
the receiving. Price has been doing
some classy receiving lately. and the
men who steal on him are few and far
between.
The games Sunday Will be as follows:
Pico Heights VS.. Redondo, at Redondo
Rivera VS.. Florence-G rahams, at Los
Nietos.
Downey VS. Gardena, at Downey.
Thistles VS. Huntington Park at
Huntington Park.
Long Beach VS.. Dyas- Cline, at Long

ROD AND REEL
ny RED PERKINS

The belated fishermen, those who did
not get home until yesterday having
generally gone into the mountains to
some of the streams further from civil
lization, have not much better success
than those who brought back only
small catches from the close-in waters.
From all through the mountains come
the reports that the water Is too high;
that fishing is not what It probably
will be a few weeks later.
The ambitious Waltonians who went
to the Mojave river had good sport,
though not what that stream affords.
They got the limit of good size, but
not with the ease they have in years
gone by. The water is high, as in all
other streams. The deep creek anglers
die not do as well as they expected to
do. In the first place there were too
many of them, and every few rods
there was a man with pole and hook
and line 1t was estimated that there
were twice as many rod and reel hand
lers Of both sexes this year as there
has been for number of seasons.
M. V. Bush returned yesterday from
the north fork of the San Gabriel, hav
ing caught the limit. 1t Is reported
that in many places 1t is impossible to
cross the river, owing to the high
waters. j. d. Potter and Edward
Heddley report pleasant trip ana the
catching of the limit.
r. McElligott A. w. Handyside, #.
II. Taylor and c. d. Hendrickson came
down from the east fork yesterday and
report the limit.
One of the best catches of fish made
in San Pedro waters by local sportsmen
was made yesterday when Frank Coons
landed sixty fine fish from the launch
TxynpbA Tho Acb
were mostly bass and barracuda.
Mr.. Lynch stated today that this
catch was the best made around the
hav for a year.
