PROF CHARLES H. KINNE.

Word was received in Norwich sun
day of the death Of Prof. Charles H.
Kline. which occurred in Providence
on Saturday. Prof. Kline had been IN
poor health for about a year, having
never fully recovered from a fall from
his bicycle. Death was due to tuber-
culosis and heart disease. The Bulle-
ton SAYS:
"Charles Henry Kline was born In
Norwich, and was the only child of the
late Charles Kline. He attended the
public schools in this city and gradual
ed at the Free academy In the class of
1876. He entered Brown university and
was graduated in 1879. Returning to
Norwich he became member of the
faculty at the Free academy, continu-
ing until 1884.
HE spent several years abroad
studying the Romance languages, and
on his return to this country was for a
year a member of the faculty of the
University of Chicago. He was later
tutor at a school in New Hampshire.
Prof. Kline was a man of retiring
disposition and a hard student. His
health was never very good, and close
application to study undoubtedly weak
ened his constitution. He had a dig
nifty of manner and the culture and re-
1inement Of man of letters Sincere
and strong in his attachments to his
friends, the news of his death will be
source Of deep regret to his acquaint-
ances in this city. He leaves a wife
and is also survived by mother living
in Preston"
