more as musician than as q student.
altho proficient in a general way. He
belonged to the glee club in his Junior
year, and with it made tour Of the
United States, his talent as violin
list bringing him encomiums everywhere.
Music is yet his passion, and perhaps
the most priced of his possessions. save :
only the fair woman whom he made his
bride today, is genuine Stradivarius.
which he discovered in Cincinnati and :
on which he extemporizes in manner
that marks the born musician.
He spent one year in the Harvard
law school, then finished his legal train
ing in the Cincinnati law school, be-
ing admitted to the Ohio bar in 1894.
AS counselor he succeeded indiffer-
entity, and in 1898 he entered politics.
Admission was not difficult for him.
George B. Cox, who ruled the destinies
Of the republican party IN Hamilton
county, gave him friendly lift and
helped him into the school board. A
year later he was elected to represent
the county in the house of representa-
tives Of the state; two years later he
was sent to the Ohio senate. He ac-
quilted himself with credit, two i'm
portant laws touching on the govern
ment Of municipalities bearing his
name, and he was again promored, this
time to membership in the ffty-eighth
congress Of the United States, as rep
resentative Of the First Ohio district.
He did little in that session, as new
corners usually do. He sat IN the back
ground and studied the ropes, making
only one speech in the two years, and
that on the proposition of providing the
embassies and legations Of the United
States with homes at government ex-
4 pense. He was renominated and re-
elected, and is now serving his second
i term.
/ At present Mr.. Longworth resides
with his mother in the Jones house, az
it is called, in Eighteenth street. This
was leased by Mrs. Longworth last
summer for two years. At that time
there was no question Of future
daughter-in-law in her mind. The ro-
nance had not yet budded and come
into full flower on the Philippine trip.
What the future plans of Mrs. Long
worth in regard to house for herself
and the young couple will be is still
uncertain. After the adjournment Of
congress there will be no occasion for
Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth to remain In
. Washington, and when they return
from their honeymoon it will only be
for short time.
This house was occupied by Mr.
Longworth two seasons ago. Last win
ter, however, his mother selected the
! Rodger house, in Connecticut avenue,
but again chose the Jones house when
, the lease Of the Rodger house expired;
!. !. for the size and the arrangement of
rooms is much more convenient for a
: member Of congress who is constantly
visited by his constituents and who has
a secretary in continual attendance.
8 This house, where Miss Alice will re.
D side after she has become Mrs. Nicholas
+ Longworth and has returned from hel
b honeymoon, was built by the late John
e Davies Jones, of Cincinnati. It is ex
! tremely bright and attractive. Standing
h on the corner of Eighteenth and
e streets, it is an English basement, hav.
= ing square hall with a staircase at
g one side, to the right the kitchen and
servants quarters and to the left q
e large library with open fireplace, max
ing room where all political business
n can be transacted apart from the fam.
lily On tho first floor is large draw
/ ing-room and sitting-room and dining
X room with capacity for twentyfou,
at dinner. The living rooms are on the
!. two upper floors, and all have the same
!. bright sunny exposure.
