Self-inficted wounds in the throat, made

sleep. A physician had several times given
him morphine by Injection, but Fadeley
was unable to sleep even after this. He was
de pressed and in low spirits as to his
health, but made no threats Of an intention

alone in his boarding house and sought
company, evidently fearing he would be
unable to control himself.
1t is stated at the treasury that nothing
was known to cause Fadeley to commit
suicide except his health and nervous con-
dition. His wife died a number of years
ago and his children were living and doing

"The production Of Faust" by Por-
ter j. White and company, at the Opera

verv best attraction Of the kind that has
come to the Hudson Opera House in
several years. The scenery and scenic
effects were the best ever witnessed in
this city. Mr. Porter White as Meph-
istO, was ever Interesting and impTes-
sive His intellectual penetration of
the eXacting part and his easy, graceful
and pleasing acting ut once won the
favor of the audience and he was re-
peatedly encOred. Miss Olga Verne
made a handsome and pleasing Margue-
rite, and Mr.. Stanley Jones, with goCd
voice and acting, sustained the difficult
character Of Valentine in a manner
which readily conyInced the audience
that he was an actor Of unusual ability
and force The balance of the cast was
most satisfactory. The audience was
appreciafivc and demonstratiye. Mr.
White ond his excellent company may
feel assured of a crowded house if they
should ever play "a return date in this
