AFTER QUARTER METERS
Health Board to Inquire if They Are
 Menace to Health.

New Haven, March 27-Dr. Frank W. Wright, health officer. has been delegated by the Board of Health to decide whether quarter gas meters are a menace to. public health. The health commissioners discussed the question yesterday, and several said that if it could be shown that deaths from such meters because of leakages or accidents are usual, they believed it a proper ma tier for the health au. thorities to take up. Should pr. Wright's report be that the meters are a menace to health, it is very probable. considering the sentiments expressed by the members of the health board, that an attempt may be made to bar them out of this city
 Dr. John F. Sullivan broached the subject by calling attention to re- cent death caused by the asphyxia- tion' Of a man from one of the quar- ter meters. He said he thought the meters in their present form extreme ly dangerous pr. Bartlett and other members of the board agreed that the meters were dangerous and con cured in Dr. Sullivan's belief tha this might be proper subject fol regulation by the Health board.

THE NEW LYRIC

The attraction at the Lyric theatre this week is proving one of the most delightful given at that popular play house this season. Yesterday after noon and evening, the theatre was filled to it's very doors with enthusias- tic audiences, which nearly laughed themselves sick over the continual stream of hilarity which flows all through the play.
 Miss Strickland all have delightful parts in this comedy, and all are giv- en the most generous appreciation. Miss Carpenter is warmly welcomed at each appearance, her return to the company being considered with great her Helma of What Happened to Jones' is excruciatingly funny.
 Miss Strickland appears to exception al advantage in this productionI and her work is received with every mark of delight. As a character actress she has never been eXcelled in this city, and she gives an impersonation of the love-lOrn Spinster which enrap- lures everyone.
 There is not a member of the cast who does not deserve the most extrav- agant praise, but where all are so clever one ought not really to single out any for particular mention The reception which has been given this offering speaks for itself T~e sale of seats for the week is rapidly jump ing to a record breaking mark. and every performance for the remainder of the week will see the theatre fill ed to the doors.
 There will be the usual matinees Thursday and Saturday, and those wf,o have not yet obtained their seats should do so without delay.
 
 "The Wife" one of the very finest American stage, will be the attrac- tion for next week, and without a question the playhouse will be filled to it's utmost capacity at every per formance. This play, which was writ ten by Henry c. DeMille and David Belasco, will be remembered as one of the greatest successes ever brought out at the old Lyceum Theatre in New York, and one of the greatest road successes the profession has ever known.
 "The Wife" has always been one of the biggest dramatic triumphs known in American dramatics It never has failed to draw crowded audiences Of the creme and culture of the United States, and has ever been one of the strongest drawing cards which a man. ager could announce.
 As it will be presented by the Car penter Stock Company next week, it cannot suffer by comparison with any previous presentation. There will be the usual matinees during the week, and as seats are already selling, there will be an exorbitant demand. Better get in line early for the choicest seats, and not miss this, the greatest offering of the entire season.
