THE STAGE
AVENUE.

Joseph X. Watson, an abbreviated
Hebrew comedian. whose long service
on the burlesque stage, has endeared
him to the followers OF that branch Of
dramatic endeayor. appears In the
Avenue theater this week In the role
Of savior for the Lady Buccaneers, an
organization selected to open the sea
son at this house.
Mr., Watson Is overwhelmingly funny
at times and he manages to garner
laughs without employing the rough
shod, slapstick methods usually en-
ployed by burlesQue funny men.
Perhaps the Buccaneers would have
given q moro pleasing performance II
they were not forced to struggle
through their songs to the accompani-
ment Of an orchestra not up To the
mark.
Z Nine. Emmerie Is featured In the
olio as a stellar attraction. The young
woman partially disrobes with ease
and grace while swinging on a trap
eye. She does some clever work
after she is reduced to tights. and
hurls her hose and corsage out into
the audience with considerable verve.
A two-act burlesque, replete with
songs and dancing, sandwiches the
oliQ. Lizzie Rogers, In a very Sa-
lomesque costume, leads scantily-
dressed bunch Of females through q
rather sinuous dance In the last act.
On the whole, The Buccaneers are
well worth while. They viii be here
all week. johnson is the next at.rac-
ton.

Ellzanetnan S;Iana,

According to the latest edition of Webster's Dictionary, one meaning Of lobster is "a gulltble, awkward, bun gling or undesirable fellow" ~~Thfs meaning is supposed by most persons to be modern development of slang. However, tlobster'' was favorite term of abuse among EngIishmen of Queen Elizabeth's day, and Shakespeare may have denounced his calIboy as lobster when the boy failed to at- tend to his duties. Some students Of the word think it probably was applied first to men with red faces. As signi- flying soldier the term Holster is as old as CromweIrs day. Lord Claren- den, historian of the civil war in Eng land, explains that it was applied to the Roundhead cuirassiers ''because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered Afterward British sol diers in their red uniforms were called '1obsters.'' Then came another develop ment. The soldier in the red coat be came "boiled lobster while the po- Iiceman in blue was, of course, an 'unbotled" or "raw lobster" Again, ''to boil lobster was for man to enlist in the army and put on red coat-Chicago News.

NEW HAVEN'S
 BRIBE SCANDAL
 WILL NOT DOWN

New Haven, Sept. 24.-The interest that was aroused among the citizens of this city and throughout New Ha- ven county by the~story with regard to the alleged attempted bribery of delegates to the Republican ?. conven- tion for the Second congressional dis trict, which was held in this city last Tuesday, and at which Col. Shepard was nominated over ex-Senator Frank S. Butterworth, was still unabated to- day.
 Among Republican politicians there was feeling of apprehension that the matter would go still further, and that it would be taken up by the proper authorities and investigated. These Republicans, although showing g. bold front, really fear, it is said, that the general agitation that pre- and especially the fact of the inten- tion of States Attorney Stiles Judson to summon before judge in the Su- perior court the men who claim they were offered money in the senatorial convention in Bridgeport, would stir the citizens of the whole state to take up the matter of the alleged buying of votes at the Republican conventions in different parts of the state.
 It was stated today by a close friend of Registrar Frederick Carlson to him of $50 for every delegate that he could get to vote for Shepard, that he is still of the same mind that he was when he refused to deny the in Wednesday, The speakers today said that he had spoken with MT. Carlson about the matter, and that MT. Carl son still maintained "a stiff upper 1ip'' about the matter and would not deny the truth of the story.
 Among the rank and file of the Republican party in this city there prevails a sentiment that the bribery matter is a disgrace to the party, and that, if no other reason than that the name of the party should be clear of f1O0 1T7l %I7 nat tSr -170 0I11f fH be immediately investigated by a committee of Republicans who have the interest and the welfare of the party at heart.
 It is expected that very soon a move will be made in that direction and that a conference will be held which will ask MT. Carlson to come, before it and give the facts connected with the whole affair.

A man with a swollen finger that had a deep abrasion under the ring called at a jewelry store to get the ring cut off. Before the operation was begun he said:

 ''It can be mended,'' said the jewe1er. sFbut doubt if you can ever persuade a pawnbroker to accept it afterward."
 FThen l SA1ess I'll take chances on my finger getting well with the ring on,'' said the young man and left the store.
