GOV. HUGHES WANTS COMPLETE CLEANUP OF AUGEAN STABLES
Would Have General Inves- tigation of New York Leg iSlature to Uncover Al legged Bribery for Past Ten Years.
fspecia, from United Press.)

Albany, Feb. 14.-There may be a yeneral investigation of the New York state legislature to uncover alleged bribery in connection with the legis- lature of the last 10 years. Governor Hughes was back at his desk today and. though he refused to talk, it was reported that as a result of his con- ferenre in New York Saturday with President Taft and yesterday with County Commissioner Llyod Griscom, and the County Republican Leaders, he will this week suggest to the exc cutive leaders the necessity of a thor ough house cleaning in the Republican party
 The bribery investigation on in the state Senate is limited to the specific allegation made by Senator Renn Con- ger that Republican Senate Leader bfy. accepted a bribe of s1.0O0 to kill 2 bill that the Bridge Trust did not desire enacted.
 Even if this charge. and others that grew out of it. should be proven. the statute of limitation prevents criminal prosecution. Rumors connecting other men still in public life with other bribery jObs'' are in public circula- tion and Governor Hughes holds that these men should have their states clear or be driven out of politics. He also holds that if there is disposition to "cover up'' anything and save anyone, the action will rebound on the Repub- Hcan party and do it more harm than anything that might become public.
 The Governor hopes that, if some of the stories being circulated are true, the statute of limitation might not be operative and there mieht be a chance for criminal prosecution. Governor Hughes handled the insurance inves- tigation and while there were no crim- inai prosecutions as the outcome of it., a number of prominent politicians of both parties were retired from public life.
 That there is good chance of a joint legisla tive investieation is seen by the attitude of Speaker of the As sembly James W. Wadsworth, Jr, who was declared Saturday to favor suuelching a broad investigation. He indignantly denied this today claim ing his position is that everything should wait until all of the develop nents of the Aids inquiry are com plete.
 "All those at Saturday conference '' declare the Speaker. 'were impressed with the seriousness of the situation and it's possible effect on the party and their earnest hope was that the outcome would show that there was no disposition to whitewash or shield anyone. If there is anything left to be done when the Senate inquiry is ended. the legislature can be depended on to do it''
 The Aids inquiry will be continued when the Senate resumes its sessions at II o'clock tomorrow.

Kermit, Archibald and Quentin Roose- welt are younger children of the ex- president. The wedding. which is to be celebrated on an elaborate scale, will be deferred until the arrival in Amer ica of the bridegroom's father next June He heartily approves of the match. The announcement came as a surprise to even the close friends of the contracting parties, for recently young MT. Roosevelt has been attend ing strictly to business. and so he has had small opportunity for those social excursions in which he might meet the young lady. Since his disparture from Harvard in 1908 young Roosevelt has been hard at work learning the car pet manufacturing business.

ISAAC TAYLOR WAS "3RAYEST OF, BRAVE
Death of Civil War Hero Who Charged Fort Wag- ner, Passes Almost With out Notice-Was In Com pany of Captain Thomas Boudren.

The funeral of Isaac Taylor, an old resident of Bridgeport, was held in this city, about two weeks ago and the incident passed without much at- tention, except to the members of the family of the deceased, and members of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 Isaac Taylor was one of the few distinctively heroic service during the civil war. The other medals were awarded by Congress, while that awarded to Taylor was by the army corps Of which he was a member.
 In the charge upon Fort Wagner Taylor showed himself one of the bravest of the brave. Gen. Gilmore was so deeply impressed with the bravery of a number of companies who carried the brunt of the fight under the deadliest of fire, that he ordered that two medals should go to two men ill each company, the wear CTS of the medals to be awarded by the votes of the members of the com pany. Isaac Taylor was one of the members voted "bravest of the brave'' by his comrades of Company I, 9th Connecticut Volunteers. This com pany was explained by Major Tohmas Boudren of this city.
 Isaac Taylor resided at the Sol diers' Home for many years. Some months ago he was sent to St. Vim cents hospital, in this city, so he could be near his relatives. His funeral was held from the residence of his sister, Ms. Michael Breen, If Carson street.

Sayings of Mrs. solomon.


Thou hast come to me, my daugh-
ter, crying out, when shall / mar
ry?" Yea, when doth the hour ar
rive wherein it is well for a girl to
settle down-even upon man, that
he shall support her? And l say
unto thee that it is never well, but
it is sometimes wise,
Yet, l charge thee, if thou wouldst
be happy wed not in May, for this is
the month of bad luck; neither in
April, for this is the month of tears.
Neither in June, for this is the
month of folly, when in her imagin-
alton woman clotheth a bear with
grace, and hippopotamus with
beauty, and idealizes any calf that
sayeth "Ma-a Ma-a!" unto her.
Neither marry in July, nor August,
nor September, nor October, nor No.
vember, nor December nor any other
month if thou wouldst not be dis
appointed.
Wed not when thou art under
twenty-five, for thy choice shall be
unwise and thou shalt spend the rest
of thy days in double harness with
the wrong mate. Nor when thou art
over twenty-five for then thou shalt
have no choice, but shall become
gladly either young mans bank &C
count or an old mans nurse.
Wed not red-headed man when
he proposeth for thou shalt find that
his temper matcheth his hair; and
the fiery locks of the father shall be
visited upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation.
Wed not a dark man, for thou
shalt find his disposition of the same
gloomy hue; and a bilious COM
plexion showeth a bilious tempera-
ment. Yet marry not a light man.
lest his character be lighter STILL for
a golden butterfly which flitteth from
flower to flower is not an ideal main
stay.
Yet, if thou must marry, / charge
thee marry when thou gettest a good
chance. And if thou gettest not a
good chance, take any chance thou
gettest; for whenever woman TAX
eth a husband she taketh a long
chance.
Verify, verify, single life is a
source Of joy, but a husband, is a
source of supply. And peradventure
it is better to be supported than to
be happy. Selah!-EX

A Masterful Interpretation.

One of the notable dramatic
events of last season was the Dom
aid Robertson players revival Of
the Carlo Goldoni comedy, "A Curl
Gus Mishap." In Chicago, where
the play was produced during the
Robertson season at the Art Insti-
tute, the greatness of the organic
alton was at once recognized by the
critics and the comedy was repeated
several times during the year, by
popular request. The comedy was
not included in the repertoire this
year, but so great was the demand
for it that after the New Year Mr..
Robertson concluded 10 again pre-
sent it, and has since then made it
the bill for his company of players,
when going out of the city. Our
patrons of genuine comedy have a
rare opportunity, as it is not likely
that the company will include this
play in their next seasons list
The Robertson Players will ap-
pear at the Grand opera house next
Tuesday evening" March 29th.
