Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-A score of detectives today were endeavoring to solve the mystery surrounding the sensational shooting of J. C. Crave New York, and his wife in their apartm ents at a prominent hotel here ~early this morning by Mrs. J. c. Le Dur, who afterward committed sui- eide with the same revolver. Graveur was instantly killed and his wife is in hospital believed to be mortally wounded. No motive for the tragedy has yet been established.
 !. The Graveurs motored to this city yesterday from New York. They att tended a theater last night and re- turned to their hotel half an hour after midnight. They were unac- companied, according to hotel em- ployes, and went immediately to their apartments. Shortly afterwards guests on the same floor were startled by four shots and rushing into the hall- way they met Mrs. GFaveur, who is about 23 years old, staggering from her room with a bullet wound in her breast. She was screaming hys- terically, and it was impossible to secure a coherent story from her. Graveur was found dead in one cor- ner of his room and Mrs. LeDur, clutching the still smoking revolver in her hand. in another. All were fully dressed.
 How Mrs. LeDur gained entrance to the apartments occupied by her victims Is not known. Neither has it been established from whence she ha ic. that she followed the Graveurs to this city from New York. Mrs. Le Dur was about 25 years old
 Mrs. Graveur who was removed to a hospital, was still alive at an early hour today but physicians hold out little hope for her recovery. Efforts of the authorities to obtain a state fnent from her proved futile.
 New York officials have been re- quested to help clear up the mystery.
 May Not Be Graveur's Wife.
 The wounded woman in the Jeffer- son hospital here refuses to say any thing regarding the shooting, nor will sfe confirm statements that she is the wife of Graveur. Dispatches from New York state tkat employees at Graveur's garage said they be- lfeved he was wtdower.
 Other information from New York is to the effect that Graveur and the woman he registered at the hotel as his wife had been in Atlantic City lsst week and in Washington two or three days ago.
 The injured woman's condition is still considered critical.
 The name of the woman who did the shooting. it was said by the po- lice, may be Mrs. Joseph Clarence LeDuc and not LeDur.
 The police learned from a woman guest at the hotel that Mrs. LeDur waited long while in the hotel cor ridor last night for Graveur and his supposed wife to return. Mrs. Le Dur told this woman guest that she was Graveur's wife, that she had no key to get into her room. and that she was tired of waiting.

said to me the other day "I don't wonder women have such a hard time to keep their maids. They don't seem to be able to treat them in a business like way. There's my wife, she's d kind, intelligent woman; but when I see the way she nags her maids fussos at them and interferes with them, well picks on tnem' is really the best way to express it-I wonder she keeps them as long as she does. My clerks wouldn't stay week if I treated them that way"
 How Whispering Sent Fever Up.
 To return to tho main road, whis- pering within the hearing of a sick person is something that has been con- demned a thousand times, apparently quite in vain. Just the other day g~ heard of 8 woman who was made much sicker by hearing her daughter whispering to the doctor in the hall The doctors responses to the whis- pering were reassuring, but it was ilu- possible to convince the invalid that something wasn't being concealed from her. She was depressed, she. was nervous, and consequently she was suspicious, and by breeding over herr suspicious, fretted herself into a high fever
 A whisper is a sign rd-"This is something we don't want you to hear" When the sign-board is put up it instantly arouses the most dor mant curiosity And, as I said before.x an imagination thus stimulated is apt to construct something much worse than the actual truth. 4.
 Never whisper unless you want to hurt peoples feelings, embarrass them arouse their curiosity and defeat your own purpose of keeping the thing quiet.

On Whispering

Whispering is ill-bred. Anyone who knows anything at all knows that And yet great many people who are supposedly Well-brcd have the bad taste and the bad sense to whisper.
 l don't mean that they do it at social gathering. But here's an eX- ample of wnat I do mean.
 A woman i4 our neighborhood has just lost good maid through whis- pering.
 The Maid Left Because Her Employer
 Whispered
 This is how it happened. If any lit tie thing in the food or service was wrong, the woman would comment The maid would frequently be con- scious of the whispering and of course thought the criticisms much worse than they really were. Sometimes the whispers were not criticisms at all, but merely mentions of family mat ters that the mistress did not wish her helper to hear. But the maid did not know that. And when one is given such an opportunity to use ones imag- ination one usually uses it to good, or rather bad effect.
 Eventually the maid left simply be- cause of these whispers.
 The mistress feels aggrieved because of her loss, says she treated her maid well and seldom criticised her, though there were plenty Of things she didn't like.
 Open Criticism Would Have Been
 Kinder
 If she only had criticised her open lv she would have been kinder
 Women are queer that way. Many good women can't seem to treat their maids fairly and squarelp. A man
