A MISER'S DEATH.
He Dies with His Boney Fingers Clutch
ing His Gold.

~@S ASA"0 "ASAA AAAS ACAASJ CiNuNh-
ing His Gold.
SAN JOSE, CAL, July 7.-Professor
Herman Kollinger. who, up to twenty
years ago, was a leading violinist on the
coast and well known as a writer of
prose and poetry, died Sunday in a
squalid hut on Colfax street. He was
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars,
acquired by lifetime of miserly frugal
ity. But one child, William Kollinger,
was present at his death. When the old
man, in his death throes, raised himself
in bed, the son rushed to his side.
His father mistaking the act, with a
frenzied yell waved him back, and
clutching at the bed clothes pulled them
back, disclosing to view a quantity of
gold coin. He made a grab at it with
both hands, and with the bright pieces
in his fingers, he fell back with gasp
and expired.
Professor Kollinger once was doctor
in Heidelberg university, and was 80
years old. He was so wasted by hunger
and want that his body weighed less
than forty pounds.

startling intelligence that Mexico is on
the verge of another revolution, and

Victims Of Politicians.

the Catholic missionary. who was
recently killed by the Indians. The
letter was dated pine Ridge Agency.

editor of the Freemen's Journal.
Father Graft says in the beginning the
Indians hoped Cor much aid from the
government to enable them to become
like the whites. They were, however,
in every way abused, Knocked and dis
couraged. Instead of being wards they
have felt they were the victims of
unscrupuloue politicians, who bene'
fitted by their misery. Father Craft
adds: Il know what 4 say, for l have
shared their sufferings for many years
In their despair Gen. Crook brought

led them to hope that he would be able
death was their death blow and they

grave mistakes-eou less than the

the kindness of Gen. Crooke convinced
them of their safety. The general S
