Wayne, Pa, Nov. %. - Caroline
Reinholz came 90 her death by sui
eide" was the astonishing, though in
some respects logical, verdict re-
turned by the coroner's jury which in
vestigated the most perplexing trag-
edy Of Thanksgiving day at Strafford
in tho home Of Robert s. Brodhead.
In rendering this verdict the jury
admitted the theory that in order 20
have inflicted the six distinct revolver
wounds found on the girls body she
must have rarity reloaded the pistol
after she had shot herself all but to
death, az it had but 1--WE chambers;
and that possibly she went down a
fight Of steps in that plight and re-
turned to the bathroom before she
fred the last shot
Furthermore, with six bullet
wounds, every bullet passing entirely
through the body the girl, if she did
really commit suicide, must have
walked down two flights Of steps,
through a hall and pantry, into the
kitchen. where, it would appear. she
still had strength enough left to
thrust a big carving knife into her
throat with such force that in the final
desperate twist two inches Of the point
broke of under the hreastbone.
The evidence which, to the jury,
was insurmountable, was the letter
signed Carrie" and addressed in her
own handwriting to her sisters. re

Rice and Putrid Fish Highly Season.

Rice and Putrid Fish Highly Season.
ed Their Main Food.
Siamese food principally consists Of
dried, frequently rottcd, fish and rice
done into curries which comprise lit
tie Of about every kind of condiment
and especially a very popular sauce
called namphrik, a chutney-like and
thoroughly mixed thing made Of red
pepper. shrimp, garlic, onions, citron,
ginger and tamarind seeds. The only'
reason for the ish being putrid is be-
cause the natives like it so, for FISH are
plentiful in their rivers and fishermen
numerous, though their ways Of catch
ing are rather amusing and antique.
One favorite method, borrowed from
the Chinese, is beating the wab-as with
long bamboo sticks to frighten the fish
into an eight or ten foot squarish net
which is lowered into the river from a
framework on the bank by a system OF
wheels and ropes and pulleys and
hOisted up again when the catch Is
complete. 1 must confess that when
the fish in the curry CHANGED to be
dried instead of decayed l found the
concoction decidedly toothsome. In
fact, a really good curry is in a class
apart and one must go to India or the
far east to get It at its best Some
times the natives eat pork and often
times chicken, but for the most part
rice and the fish curry constitute their
chief diet, supplemented by the fruit of
the country, Of which there are many
kinds-mangosteen, mango, pineapple,
banana, orange, breadfruit and that
most healthful and serving of all ST.
amese fruits, the papaya, which grows
back from the water and is a greenish
oval melon that suggests cantaloupe
