der New Law to be Held Here.
/. The members of the state embalming
commission met at the New Haven
house yesterday afternoon, with DR.. G..
A. Lindsey, secretary of the state
board of health, and County Health
Officer Carleton e. Hoadley, to discuss
the questions that will be asked appli-
cants for embalmers' licenses under the
new state law. The commission was in
session for three hours and after con-
sidering a list of questions decided to
hold the first public examination for
embalmers at the Yale Medical school
October 6. a&+.... ...s IL.
The law passed at the last session of
the state legislature will insure greater
certainty of efficiency among newcom-
ers in the business of embalnning. The
reason for this provision is that, by a
regulated system in issuing licenses to
embalmers, bodies prepared for trans
portation by Connecticut embalmers
may be taken into any state where en-
balming laws exist without further in
spection and delay.
At the meeting yesterday the full en-
balming commission was present, as
follows: George T. Lord, of Norwich,
president; George A. Maycock, of New
Haven, treasurer; Edward P. Jones, of
Winsted, Charles Dillon, of Hartford,
and D. A. Leete, of Thompsonville.

Gra u a Opera House

. 4. y E.5@'
MRS. Delaney Of Newport" the clev-
er farce comedy in which the Gilmore
sisters are starring, is drawing big
houses at the Grand Opera house. This
play without doubt is one of the very
best seen at the Grand in some time,
and will be presented again to-day,
matinee and night. 49,
In "The Pride of Jennico'' the authors
of the play, Mrs. Abby Sage Richard
son and Grace L. Furniss, have taken
the chief incident Of the novel and with
that as a theme have built up an origi-
nal play. The trouble with most of the
plays adapted from novels during the
last five years has been that the volum-
nous amount of incident and change of
scene has brought in a lot of discursive
and extraneous matter which takes
away all sustained interest from the
play as a whole. In 1.-THE Pride of Jen-
nico'' but one central theme is taken
from the book, and with that material
strongly marked plot is drawn with
consistent characters, perfect unity Of
action and thrilling climax.
The engagement, here is for three
nights beginning September "a, at the
Grand Opera house, and the production
will be given in metropolitan style by a
first-class company and with all the
original scenery, together with the cos
tunes and accessories. There will be
the usual Saturday matinee.
