Max Kretschmar, once a lieutenant

burn for cigar lighters, with the entree
Of the very best social circles of the
German empire and with a reputation
as a duellist, died recently in a squalid
room in a cheap lodging house in San
Francisco, where he had been employ
ed as a dishwasher The man, who
was a confirmed drunkard. was identi-
fed through a letter which brought a
small sum of money and earnest en-
treaties from Kretschmar's aged par
ents in Germany to return to the
Fatherland.
Kretsehmar went to San Francisco
six or seven years ago. He knew no
trade, spoke English imperfectly, and
after his first debauch was in no con-
dition to obtain any but menial
position.
Kretschmars story, corrOborated by
letters from Germany. was that his
father Johannes Kretschmar. was a
wealthy Berlin manufacturer who had
educated his son for the army. The
young man received a commission in a
Saxonian regiment He spent money
lavishly. He was first lieutenant when
he fought a duel with another oficer,
wounding him severely. An order
against dueling had just been promul-
gated and the military authorities de-
cided to make an example Of Kretsch-
mar. He was courtmartialed. dis
missed from the service and ordered
to leave the country

remittance was forwarded to defray
his expenses. but he sQuandered it In
