A MURDER OR A SUICIDE.
Her Pet Dog Not Responsible for
Mrs. Cnbus' Death.

NEW YORK March 19-Coroner Bausch
began an investigation today of the death
of Mrs. Carrie b Cabus. of 352 West
Eighteenth Street, who was found dead IN
her fiat last Sunday afternoon, her toN
terrier at her throat. According to the
information given to the police she zen
in an apoplectic fit and the dog, which
she was feeding, becoming excited. selzeu
her by the throat and held on until forcl-
bly, removed by her mother. Mrs. Brou-
head. Mrs. Cabus was dead when Dr'
Henry NJ. Fisher was called in.
Coroner's Physician OHanlon went to
the house on Monday night and examined
the body. To HIS surprise he found that
the wounds in the woman's throat were
not caused by teeth, but by the thrust OF
a knife He informed Coroner Bausch oil
this today. and they went to the nome
together and made further examination.
Afterward Coroner Bausch said that the
dog had nothing to do with the woman ;
death. which, he said. was caused by slow
hemorrhages due to three deep wounds in
the neck, inflicted by a knife or some sim
liar instrument
II found in my investigation, said Coro-
ner RauSch, that an ordinary knife, such
as IS used for peeing potatoes, was lylnS
close to the body The shape OF the

to infiict the wounds TO satisfy our
minds more fully that the knife in ques-

If the theory that this knife is the
weapon that caused the wounds is cor
rect then ] firmly believe that they could
never have been self-innicted unless while
in her fit she was gifted with super
human strength.
Mrs. Elizabeth Brodhead, the dead wo-
mans mother, said she was in the front
room Of the fiat and her daughter LETT
her to go and feed the dogs. minute
later she heard fall, and rushing into
the kitchen found her daughter lying on
the floor with the dog tearing at her
throat. The coroner said that the dog
had not torn the throat. Then. ne cues
toned Mr. Cabus, the husband. The lat
ter told the coroner where he spent sun
day and the coroner asked the rollce 70
verify his statements.
This seems to me a mysterious case,
said Coroner Bausch tonight. 1t is a
case of suicide or homicide. and | VIII
not be able to determine which until an
Investigation has been made.
He also directed DIR. O'Hanlon to make
an autopsy on the body TO hnd out
whether Mrs Cabus had an apopiectc
or epileptic stroke prior to her death

ABOUT HANDKERCHIEFS.
ome Things That Every Girl should
Learn ms Soon as She Can
Sew

There is no better way for girl
20 learn to sew than to make for her.
'elf number of dainty handker-
,hiefs, as very neat sewing must be
Employed in all work of this kind. and
As yard of sheer linen is enough for
several of them it is much cheaper to
make them at home. If she wants
trimming other than hemstitching
she can make this also, if she can knit.
crochet or make tatting, and any of
these are very dainty as well as dur
able, says the Housekeeper.
1t is quite a feature of economy
to get a width of linen that will cut
two handkerchiefs, and there is moth
ing better than India linen of a fine,
close quality. In hemstitching only
three threads should be drawn, as it
gives a much neater effect, and to
make the threads easier to draw the
material must be dampened and
pressed before beginning the work.
The girls should not only learn how
to make their own handkerchiefs. but
they should learn to launder them as
well, for the average laundress is de-
void of conscience and pity toward
these sheer articles, and if they are
washed by the owner in her own
washbowl they are spared the sacri-
fee occasioned by hard rubbing on
the washboard.
Soft water is always preferable for
washing these dainty articles, and to
wash them so they will be beautiful
ly white stir enough pearline in the
warm water to make foamy lather,
then wash between the hands, and
while still damp spread smoothly over
a marble slab or large window pane
or mirror. Let them remain until ]
perfectly dry, then fold evenly and
press between boards or in a large
book
II one is an expert needlewoman she
can have quite a number of handker-
chiefs with very little expenditure Of
money, and If she win launder them
herself she may keep them looking
fresh and dainty It is said that moth
ing shows woman's degree of refine
ment more than her handkerchief.
