There has been some heated dis
cussion recently over the question ol
whether our warships are honestly
built in private shipyards. Charles
Cramp has come out in heated de,
Tense of the private ship builder, and
there are a number of nayal officers
and others who insist that the gov
ernment is the only one to build war
ships and ships otherwise built are
not and never can be the real thing.
Fortunately this discussion, to use a
favorite phrase of the President, is
largely academic. This country has
not been engaged in war for SOM
years, and it is to be deYoutly hoHyd
that it will not be again for m/hy
years to come. At the same tinf it
might be recollected that in the Ipast
American warships, whether bhilt in
government or private yard, have
given a tolerably good ocfount of
themselves In TACT, thee Is very
little to criticise in the performance
of any American warShip when it
came to the test. John Paul Jones
scraped up his original fleet any
where. Some were captured, all were
private built, and the most were not
even seaworthy. Yet he managed to
give tolerably good account of him
self. The Constitution was built in
private yard, and yet she did few
things that people remember. So
far as modern ironclads are concern
ed, there are number of Spanish
naval officers out of job yet who
might testify as to their all round eff
ficiency, and yet one of the most eff
fectiye vessels in the fight at Santiago
was 'lame duck, the old Texas,
and built in government yard at
that. Really, we have not much rea-
son to quarrel over American war
ships, however they are built.

CHAS. [. KOCH,

The village of Perrysburg has been
called upon to suffer the loss OF
good man and an enterprising citizen.
Charles L. Koch, in the prime OF
life, was summoned to higher realms.
Without warning death took him;
with no thought of danger, and while
on a mission of pleasure to others, in
quest of something to brighten and
enrich the lives OF those whose care
was his constant thought, he departed
from his home in the morning, his
last words being cheerful and al
fectionate parting, his heart filled
with the JOY of doing for others, he
was suddenly called away.
This life has many a trying test
The life we live for Others is the best.
So lived Charles l.. Koch. His
constant effort was in doing some
thing for those who were dependant
on him. He did not confine his good
deeds alone to those of his family, but
meyer overlooked an opportunity to
shed little sunshine upon those
whose lives were darkened by the
clouds of adversely. No person was
too poor or friendless for him to send
few flowers when sickness visited
them; he was never too busy to do a
kindness for a neighbor; he always
found time to help worthy person
or assist in worthy cause Always
cheerful, even when the most busy
and under trying circumstances, ht
had a kind word and pleasant greet
ing for everybody. Thus he lived
doing good wherever he found an op
portunity, Lying a christian life ac
cording to the light given him, anc
to such as he
at matters not at what hour OF the day
The righteous fall asleep; death cannot come
To him untimely who is fit to die
The less of this cold world, the more of heaycn-
The briefer lief, the earlier immortality"

BuRT'S THEATRE.
"HuMAN HEARTS,

Facts are stranger than fiction. All
plays depend more or less on facts for
their plots.
The story of Human Hearts" is
almost drue in every detail. The in
cidents that form the plot are well
known, and still food for gossip in the
community where they happened.
The author of the play met the cr!gi-
nal Tom Logan several years ago,
and heard the story from his own lips.
Becoming deeply interested he jour
neyed to 'Logan's' home, where he
met most of the other characters who
round out the cast of his play. When
he asked permission to dramatise the
story, it was rapidly granted on the
condition that he would change the
names of the characters so that they
would not be recognizable by anyone
not familiar with the story. The re-
suit has been a play that has had a
yiyid interest for more lovers of all
that is good and true in melodrama,
than any other dramatic composition
of the last decade. Human Hearts
will be shown at Burt's Sunday after
noon for all week.

FOLLOW LEAD OF CHINA
Japan's Boycott Is Patterned After
That of Flowery Kingdom

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Reading
between the lines of a statement issued
by the japanese chamber OF commefce
assembled at Tokyo addressed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and also TO the American
champions of commerce. the officials in
Washington see clearly the implied
threat of a boycott against American
goods entering Japan. The boycott de-
clared by Chinese merchants against
American products two years ago in
resentment of the treatment accorded
Chinese of the better class entering
America in the course of their travels
around the world, was productive of
better conditions, for the administra-
tion exerted all its power TO ameliorate
the rigors of the exclusion laws and
to facilitate the entry of Chinese mer-
chants and students.
Therefore, it is assumed the jap
anese merchants have decided TO have
recourse to the same method of show
ing their resentment against the treat
ment accorded their people in san
Francisco Unlike the Chinese mer-
chants, however, those have first
served notice of their intention upon
the American commercial interests so
as to afford them an opportunity to
avert the boycott by bringing pressure
to bear upon the merchants of the
Pacific coast. now supposedly in need
of eastern assistance.

FALL Of PISTOL KILLS
WESTERN UNION GUARD
Enploye at West Oakland
Main Offices Dies as
/. Result of Mishap

OAKLAND. June 29.-George Sim
mons, guard employed at the Western
Union telegraph company's main office
in West Oakland, was shot and killed
this morning by his own pistol which
fell from his pocket as he was stoop-
ing over to examine machinery stacked
in front of the western gas and power
companys place at Seventh and Cedar
streets. With Simmons was William
Walsh, another guard. AS the weapon
struck the ground a cartridge was ex-
ploded. The bullet passed through
the guards right eye and into the
brain.
The accident occurred at O'Clock.
Simmons died before noon at the re-
ceiving hospital and did not regain con-
sciousness. Early reports of the oc-
currence gave rise to reports of murder
and mystery. The police speedily
cleared up the affair. Walsh reported
at once after the accident to Thomas
Davis, captain of the guards who have
been employed by the telegraph COM
pany at its offices. which are across the
street from the scene of the accident
Walsh and Simmons had been at
tracted by oil pumps. Simmons asked
concerning them and as Walsh started
to explain their operation Simmons bent
over. The pistol fell out of his pocket
and exploded. Walsh ran for help. F.
J. Weber, a cook at hotel at 1880
Seventh street, saw the occurrence as
Walsh described it.
Simmons was a miner 80 years ago.
According to j. Van Houten, fellow
guard, Simmons was one of three men
who brought suit in the United States
district court on a claim that he owned
a leasing share in the famous Mohawk
mine in Goldfeld, which, he asserted,
was worth s4S0,000. There were ru-
mors that Simmons was in danger Of
his life because of tins action, but Van
Houten declared that this morning s
fatality was purely accidental. Sim
mons lived at the home of j. N. Thack
