SCARES HERSELF INTO RABIES
THINK 1T CASE OF
PsEUDo-HYDRoPHoBIA.
Girl Bitten by Her Sick Aunt Was
Told Woman Was Bitten
by Dog.

NEW YORK October 2I.-The doctors
in Bellevue Hospital are watching with
interest what is thought to be a case OF
pseudo hydrophobia.
At the time of the rabies scare last
summer there was a good deal of discus
sion among doctors concerning the gen.
uineness OF such cases. IT was stated by
many authorities that probably most of
them were spurious.
The case now under observation in
Bellevue. the doctors say, bears all the
earmarks of being genuine: 1t has been
under observation for nearly week.
The patien; is a girl nineteen years old.
While her commissions are the indirect re-
suit of bite. the woman who bit her
for she was bitten by woman-had
never been bitten herself. SO far as can
be learned.
The girl is Dora Klopkin of 221 East
121st street. July last her aunt, Mrs.
Sophia Thaler. became i'll at her home
and the girl helped nurse her. The ILL
ness developed into insanity, but at first
Mrs Thaler was not violent and the girl
continued to attend her.
One day while bending over the pa
tents bed to give her a glass of water.
the desire for which precludes the idea of
hydrophobia in the aunt, the doctors say,
bite was a slight affair. Miss Klopkin
paid no attention to it and went on about
her duties.
On this same day Mrs. Thaler's eleven
year-old son Max brought into the house
a dog. but because the neighbors disliked
it and because Of Mrs. ThalerS condition,
the dog was soon sent away.
This was all befork Mrs. Thalers in
sanity developed. Finally her condition
grew so bad that she was removed to
Bellevue Hospital and then transferred
to the asylum at Central 1slip. l.. J.,
where she died July IA.
Dora klopkin went on about her duties
and was apparently in the best of health
and spirits. 4,ot long ago. however. some
one told her that her aunt really had
been bitten by dog and had died of hy-
drophobia and that Dora. having In turn
been bitten by her aunt, might suffer
from it. too.
The girl is said to have taken the re-
mark to heart and to have bought several
books and read much on the subject OF
rabies. She became sullen and grew thin
and listless worrying over the matter.
Saturday last she suddenly fell in a
faint on the floor at her home and when
a doctor was called he found her In con-
vulsions. She was removed to Bellevue
and after watching the case there the
physicians discovered all the symptoms
of hydrophObia.
Whether or not the girl can recover the
doctors are unable to say. but they seem
convinced that they have on their hands
a case of a young girl who has simply
terroriZed herself into her present cOndi-
ton.

ROME October 21.-The Duchess of
Aosta. who is the first member of the
ROYAL family TO acknowledge publicly the
engagement of the Duke of the AbruZzi
to Miss Katherine Elkins. was formerly
Princess I.etitia Bonaparte. and should
not be confused with the Duchess OF
AOsta. Princess Helene of Orleans. who
heretofore has so haughtily refused to
receive an American woman as her Sis
ter-in-laW.
But even the Duchess Helene is COM
PEELED now to make a show of civility
since the whole OF the royal family have
decided to accept the inevitable. and IT is
rumored that she has ordered a magnifi-
cent diamond and ruby necklace as gift
to the bride.
The change of feeling in the Italian
court about the marriage is almost magl-
cal Last week the courtiers spoke of
the Abruzzi as suffering from pitiable
mental weakness: now, since the royal as
sent Is known. they are vying with one
another to show admiration for the Amer

authorities are consulting over the pro-
cedure at the wedding ceremony. and a

King Edward an Obstacle.

PARIS. October Hiking Edward Is
said to disapprove of the Abruzzi- Elkins
wedding so much that it will stand In
the way of the betrothal of the Count
of Turin and the Princess Patricia Of Con-
naught.
The Princess Patricia is a niece Of
King Edward and the British monarch
is said to object to his niece becoming
q sister-in-law of Miss Elkins, which she
would be. as the Count Of Turin is a
brother Of the Duke of the Abruzzi
1t is believed in Paris that the success
of the duke means that the Iurin-Con-
naught match is definitely off. as the
English court does not desire to acquire
West Virginia relatives in this round
about way.

Abruzzi's Plans Not Known.

TURIN October 21.-While il is stated
in some quarters that the Duke of the
Abruzzi is already his way to the
United States. it is also asserted, on
equally reliable authority. that he will
not leave Italy until after his promotion
as rear admiral which is expected to take
place next November H. the occasion of
the kings birthday.
Among other reports that find currency
here is one to the effect that the duke
will proceed to the United States under
the strictest incOgnito. and that his mar
rage with Miss F.lkins will occur during
the presidential election, when it is hoped
the event will pass unnOticed.
