DEATH CAME EASILY
Supposed Suicide of Mrs. Olive
L. sp ddy From lnhaling
Chloroform.
A Bottle Was P aced B. ween the Bed
Coverlets TO Facilitate Breathing
Of the Anes thetic.

ALAMEDA, CAL, May 9.-Mrs. Olive
L. Speedily, the wife of Samuel a. Speedy
OF 924 Santa Clara avenue, was found
dead in bed this morning at about 6
clock. The circumstances surrounding
her death are such as to lead the disinter-
ested one to the conclusion that The case
is one of suicide with chloroiorm admin
istered while suffering from nervous pros
tration, to which she was subj CT.
The deceased was a native OF New York,
aged 80 years and 9 months. and was
promine Mt in this city in the woman suf
frage movement Mrs. Speedily has for
some time been a sufferer from attacks of
nervous prostration. Since her death the
ad mission is reluctantly made that while
laboring under such periodical attacks it
was customary for the members of her
household to set a watch on her that she
might not do herself violence. Last
night she attended an enteriainment
III San Francisco and did not return home
until l o'clock this morning, by the last
train. Mrs Speedy was com planning of
prostration before she reached home. She
retired to bed and this morning was found
a corpse in bed to the great horror of the
husband.
Howard SPEEDILY, young man who
lives in the house, is authority for the
statement that bout O'Clock this morn
ing he heard Mrs. Speedily up and about
her room and the supposition is that it
was then that she arranged the chloro-
form bottle for the fatal inhalations. The
iact that she was addicted to the use of
chioroform to soothe her nerves was
revelation to the family. However, when
the discovery of her death was made a
sponge that had been saturated with ch Ior
oform was found on the floor near the bed
side The bottle itself was discovered be-
tween the coverlets and SO held in fixed
place by their weight that the aperture
would be close to her nostrlls and facili-
tate inhalation without disturbing her
position in bed. An inquest will be held
tomorrow afternoon.
Surviving her are the widower and two
daughters. Mrs. Speedily was a woman of
vivacious temperament, who had de-
voted husband and family, and was sur
round ed by all the refining Influences. No
reason can be assigned for suicide. there
fore, unless that the act was committed
when out Of her mind during one of these
periodical depressions and p-ostraions.
These had become SO alarming of late that
she sought medical treatment for them no
later than ast Tuesday. Even under the
circum stances noted the family is inclined
to the belief that her death was accident tai,
for cause for her taking her life there was
none.

There was large congregation present.
including many of the faculty OF the uni

The professor read two KITS one was
"Where Is Wisdom and Wnere is the

What Is Man That Thou Art Mlndinl OF
Him?" The discourse was an eloquent
sermon, and IN answer to the query pro-

while men are so small that thousand
million whirl through space on speck OF
dust yet the faculties that comprehend
The Vastitudes of the universe are evidence
of divine capacity.
The place of understanding is the hu-
man SOUL" said the speaker. "One thing
we know with certainty and one only.
Amid all diversity and confusion there is
this one certain thing-the eternal differ
ence between right and wrong. This
knowledge is all that is essential. All
other knowledge is subsidiary. The truths
of science are useful only as they AID US
to see the everlasting uiStllClIOn uct"ecI

The flames were first noticed by ]. E.
Carey, who resided in the theater lick in g
their way up one of the rear stairways on
the second story. After trying to extin-
guish the blaze he hurried from the build
ing and sounded an alarm.
The department responded to the call
quickly, but as the flames gained head way

general alarm was then sounded and
after a few minutes several streams of
water were pouring on the flames.

theater burst and ore of the engines was
lett useless for time, giving the fire a
chance. In ten minutes from the time of
the accident the building was a mass of
leaping flames and the entire city of Ala.
media was aglow in the food of light.
The department then gave its attention
to adjoining property, to prevent the fire
from spreading, and in consequence tie
opera-house was the only building serl-
ously damaged.
Linderman Opera-house was built FIVE
years ago at cost of $i2 500. 1t was in
sured for $4,000. The upper floor of the
theater building was occupied by G. A.
r. post and several lodges, and the Ala
media Cyclers Club rooms.were below. The
paraphernalia and furnishings were totally
destroyed.
Miss c. c. Wahl, who conducted res
taurant on the lower floor, also lost several
hundred dollars worth OF property in the
fire.
Mr.. Carey thinks that the fire was of in
cendiary origin and a searching investiga-
tion will be made.
