OBITUARY NOTES.
Mas Lucy Murray.

Miss Lucy Murray died on Saturday
evening at her home. 81 Garden street,
aged eighty-seven years. Hers was a
useful life, a life Of beauty and sweet
ness, self-sacrifeing and helpful to 9TH
ers. Her memory is precious to those
who knew of her fine character. Most
of those who were contemporary with
her in her youth have passed away,
some of them long years ago. She was
a native Of Litchfeld county, and her
father was a man Of note in the eoun-
ty and associated with some OF the
noted Connecticut men of those days.
She spent the greater part of active
matured life in school teaching, first for
many years in Litchfield and vicinity
and afterward in Westville, New Ha-
ven. She at one period conducted a
private school on Crown street, this
city. She was connected by the mar
riage of relatives with the Beechers, a
noted and prominent Westville family,
and with the family of the late Atwa-
ter Treat, noted New Haven builder,
who erected a number of Yale's build
ings and other important New Haven
structures. For the last ten or fifteen
years she had been connected with
Dwight Place church, the pastor of
which, Rev. DIR. Leete, will conduct the
funeral services. which will take place
at her late residence at 2:30 p. m. to-
morrow.

Grand Opera House.

Conan Doyle's masterpiece of fiction
1.-THE Sign of the Four" one of the most
interesting as well as thrilling detective
stories, which has been given to the
reading public, has recently reached
the hands of the dramatist, who has put
life into the many interesting charac-
tiers of this remarkable story, and this
city's theatergoers will shortly have the
opportunity of being edited with it's
travagant production of the story in
its dramatized form, promises the
atrical novelty. Walter Edwards, a
character actor Of no mean reputation
has been selected as the star of the or
ganization which is said to be made up
of a number of excellent artists. The
principal character of the story is
Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle's great
detective, and his many thrilling ex-
periences in 1.-THE Sign of the Four
make excellent opportunities for dra-
matte situations,
Mr.. Edwards will be seen in this role
and that he does justice to such i'm
portant a part cannot be gainsaid. The
scenic investiture is all that a great
production requires. This extraordinary
attraction comes to the grand opera
house on Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, September Is, 20 and 80, with
matinee Wednesday.
In 1.-THE. Little Church Around the
Corner" which will be the next attrac-
ton at the Grand opera house Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, October /,
2 and 3. with matinee Saturday, the
famous church after which the play
takes it's name is depicted as the pivot
around which circles the joys and sor-
rows of a young couple whose wedding
was a noteworthy event there. None of
the clergy are portrayed upon the stage,
but the characters are people, the coun-
terparts of which are to be found in
every large city. The heart interest is
said to be intensely human, while the
comedy Is infectious, wholesome and of
higher standard than is usually found
in plays of this description. The bril-
liantly Illuminated church with its
ringing chimes as shown in realistic
snow storm, is said to be one of the
handsomest stage pictures ever present.
