Ex-Gov Long. OF Massachusetts, has two

The match is all for love,
TOO. The only thing about the affair that Is
surprising is the reputed ardent friendship
which exists between the Governor daugh
tiers and their coming step-mother. They
are said 10 be devoted TO one another. Mr..
Long visits his betrothed regularly every
Two weeks. She has received many invita-
lions to spend the season III Washington
from friends of both parties who desired To
render the flow of love smoother by remov-
ing the obstruction of distance but, sensible

Mrs Reed, wife of the Republican leader
of the House, is almost as regular follower
of the proceedings of Congress as her hus-
band aud he has not missed day since the
session began Ii must be pleasing 10 her
10 note thai he is the only man who can al
all times get the close attention of every
man on the floor. Like most successful
men Mr. Reed owes much of his success in
lite TO his wife. When he married her he
was school teacher in Il Western state.
Her means enabled him 10 return 70 Port
land, Me-, where he was born, and take a
law course, and ner encOura cement and
assistance have helped his rapid advance
ment in life. Tie is very often AT her side in
the gallery an9 generally walks home with
her in the evening
Frank Hiscocks wife is also frequently
seen al the Capitol. Sheis "a stately woman
with a long pale face, which bears on every
feature the impress of culture and strong
will power II IS well known that Hiscock
is naturally one of the LATEST men in Con-
.,ress, though one Of the most brilliant.
With all his ability he would probably be
plodding along the path of a country law
yer were it not for his wifes pushing hand
lis appearance and movements are enough
To mark him a. the champion lazy man at
the Capitol. Dressed careiessly, with neck
tie fiying To he winds and vest partly un-
buttOned. he walks about the House in
bored sort of way. and while speaking seems
by his expression To be entering a constant
protest against the necessity which induced
his Effort Piiddelphiu Tunes.
