Stiecliil Albany Lotter.
There are many Indications that Al
bany will enjoy this winter the gayest
social season It has ever known. This
is In part a reaction from the dullness
of last winter, but there is also a be
lief that Gov. Morton's administration
will be distinguished for Its social
triumphs. It Is stated in social circles
here that Gov. Morton is the richest
man who has ever sat in the executive
chair of this State, and that he is as
hospitable as he is rich. His family
Is one of the most interesting In the
country.
Mrs. Morton Is a very handsome and
distinguished looking woman, who Is
yet on the sunny side of fifty. She Is

exceedingly charming in her manners
and a most hospitable hostess. Her
maiden name was Anna Street, and
i he is a relative of the poet Alfred U.
.Street. Mrs. Morton's .ancestors re
sided in Albany, and Albany society
has held out the most cordial welcome
to her.
The Mortons have not had a city
house since leaving Washington, but
have resided In the fine country seat
at Ellerslle, near Rhlnecllff, on the
Hudson. It is one of the most beau
tiful and handsomely equipped resi
dences on the American Rhine. They
will now, however, reside most of the
year at Albany. Mrs. Morton" is of
thoroughly domestic tateB, although
so well calculated' to shine In society.
She has given much of her attention
to the education of the five girls,
Edith, Helen, Lena, Alice and Mary,
who constitute a group of girlish beau
ty that any parents might be proud of.
Mrs. Morton has a stately presence,
a bright, rosy comploctlon, and abund
ant hair, now changing to white, and
which is usually worn In a Psyche
knot. She has a most winning smile
and is graceful and cordial In man
ners. She usually dresses richly and
In good taste, and will undoubtedly
form an ornament to Albany society.
Mrs, Morton.
Miss Edith Morton, the eldest rlnneh.
ter, Is a very attractive young lady, '
having recently been Introduced to so
ciety at the Patriarch ball, In New
York. She is dark like her father,
and of a rather quiet disposition. i
Mrs. Morton has brought up all of
her children in the strict English
fashion, the nurse girls and maids
who attended them being typical Eng
lish servants.
While Mrs. Morton was a model
mother she did not believe In spoiling 1
her children with too much attention '
and waiting on. She preferred the
sensible method of training, and the
girls were taught to wait on them
selves more so than most children
born In the lap of luxury. i
Mrs. Morton Is not what the swagger
set would call a fashionable woman.
She does not live for society alone.
The Misses Morton, of course, follow
the Ideas of their mother as to dress,
and are always robed In rich garments,
tastefully made, but not cut In the
fashion generally accepted,, by the
young ladles of the 400. They are all
pictures of health, and are fond of out
door sports, especially Edith and Helen
the two eldest, who are enthusiastic
horsewomen.
The amount of time these young
ladles have spent abroad and in tra-

a degree which makes them charmlnf
conversationalists.
As far as education is concerned tlx
Misses Morton have undoubtedly hsi
every advantage that money and d
voted parents could procure. They a)
apeak French as well as they do Enp
Hub, and MUs Hdlth is also a Qermai
t
scholar otf ability. In fact, she Is con
sidered the student of the family.
Miss Helen, and, in fact, all the
children, are unusually proficient In
art, literature and music, to which they
are devoted. In fact, they are so much
taken up with their studies and
amusements at home that society has

een but little of them, and as yet
there has been but little or no talk
about the eldest ones in connection
with a matrimonial venture.
The Governor's mansion has been
greatly improved for the occupancy of
Gov. Morton and family. It is the
first time it has been occupied by
those with much social ambition since
its erection. As Is well known, the
licuso was built during Gov. Hill's
first administration, and the interior
arrangements in many rospects wore
of the bachelor order. Mrs. Flower
had many changes made when she oc
cupied the house, but she and Gov.
Flower were both of quiet tastes, and,
ulthough giving frequent dinners, did
not aspire to social prominence. It Is
safe to say that the State manton will
koo more life and gaiety in the next
two years than it has ever seen betore.
And this Is as It should be.
Albany has an excellent society, re
fined and hospitable, but it needs such
leadership as the Mortons are capable
of to draw it out of its rather conser
vative shell. A season of social gaiety
would have a good effect upon trade,
1 1 I
Allce anil Mary Morton.
and would benefit a number of indus
tries that have felt the effects of hard
times,
A curious effect of a provision of the
new State constitution promises to ef
fect an important reform In the work
of the Legislature. Heretofore the
Legislature has adjourned each week
on Fridays and has not got down to
work fairly until the next Tuesday,
making about four working days each
week. The effect of the abolition of
railroad passes to all public officers
has deprived the members of the Le
gislature of a free ride home and re
turn each week, and the result appears
to be that but few will see their fam
ilies often during the session. The
members who propose to stay in town
are agitating the question of holding
a session six days of the week, instead
of adjourning Fridays, and this reform,
if carried out. is likely to lead to a
short and busy session.
Speaker Fish is a man In the rather
unfortunate position of having too
many friends. The Republican ma
jority in the Assembly Is so large that
the task of making committee assign
ments has been one of the most diffi
cult ever undertaken by a speaker.
The work has been finally accomplish
ed, however. The Democrats have
two places on each committee. The
trouble" has been to provide enough
assignments for the seventy-two Re
publicans who supported the speaker
in caucus and of an Importance com
porting with the dignity of the many
new members who haven't learned yet
the real size of the space they will oc
cupy in the public estimation.

Mulclng lip I-ont Time.
In regard to tho difficulty of mak
ing up lost time on railways, a writer
in a foreign paper says: Thus, to take
a case, ten miles to be run at sixty
miles an hour, average line, suppose
the engineer is a couple of minutes
late when he comes to this length of
ten miles, which he generally runs In
ten minutes. If he run it at sixty-five
miles an hour, he is then only making
up one minute in every thirteen miles,
and if ho runs at seventy miles an
hour, he makes up one minute in every
seven miles. He is probably timed to
make it necessary to do the ten miles
about as fa6t as he can every day, so
that trying to gain even a couple of
minutes in fills length is out of the
.question. Again: If he relaxes the
speed ten miles, say, to fifty, he Is
losing time at the rate of one minute
in every five miles. Thus, from a
speed of sixty an increase of ten miles
only gains one minute in every seven
miles, but a decrease of ten miles loses
one minute in every five miles.

Spcclnl Washington Letter. 1 I
There 14 a renewal of the public In
terest in Sena.rr HIU since his latest
political surprise In "making up" with'
President Cleveland. Everybody Is dis
cussing Hill, and In the way of getting
talked about he Is easily the leading
politician at the national capltol. It
Is evident to all that HIU has yet an
Important role to play in the Senate;
and the shrewder politicians are not
disposed to accept the current stories
as to his object. HIU could hardly, I

although he might be disposed to lend
nis hiu to an Administration bill Tor
the sake of harmony.
All sorts of amusing stories are be
ing told of Hill's ambition. One is to
the effect that he is about to take up
literature, and that the poiintrv will
soon receive something from his pen
in the way of a novel or possibly a
play. Perhaps Manager Charley Froh
man is responsible for this latter idea,
as he is said to believe thoroughly in
Miii-s dramatic ability. No doubt
these rumors have entneri ntrncrh
from the rather recent discovery
mai me wow lorn senator is really
very well read, and is showing more
general culture than vnn PYnnrtoH f
him. He is an omniverous reader, and
nas a remarkably retentive memdry,
and, like a few of our most prominent
statesmen, the nnnflWa of nrima
have bred in him a love of literature.
possiDiy as an escape valve to the ex
citeraent of politics.
In no other way could Hill please
Washington more than to enter so
ciety. There is no doubt that women
admire him, and many of them vota
him handsome. His alleged indiffer
ence to the fair sex has only piqued
the curiosity of the social world, and
his Dathwav would be made easv to tho
most gilded circles of local swelldom
it ne is disposed to shine In that way.
My own idea is, that Hill dees not

degree, but is simply showing the
worm mat ne nas a full stack of cards
up his Bleeve yet, and that his alliance
is courted bv the most Tin wnr fill man
of his party as that of a man who has a
ruiure Derore mm. Tne Administra
tion, on its part, desires to reunite the
Democratic nartv. and haa mnrin its
first overtures to Hill as a step toward
closing up the faction fight in New
York, which helps to demoralize the
party throughout the whole country.
Senator Allen has added something
to the gaiety of nations by bringing up
tne oia suDject or the Senate restaur
ant, that famous resort, where "cold
tea" is always on tap, and corn pone
and pork and beans can be obtained
in their nrlstine nuritv. Alln rpn
made a sharp attack, and the defense
oi the senate's "peculiar institution"
was somewhat feeble. But the reason
Is that it needs no defense, in the opin
ion of the majority of the Senators.
They want a good restaurant, and
gooa tnings do not come cheap under
the dome that Is the nerch of Mlaa
Liberty. Allen's speech will no doubt
De considered a serious and able ef
fort on the Pacific coast, but it has
excited nothing but the risibilities of
the Senators. '
The prcspects of a financial bill by the
present Congress seem to have ''gone a
glimmering," Judging by present la-
Senntori Smile,
dicatlons. The fatuity of the majority,
in neglecting so great an opportunity
is too vast to be commented upon.
There is a possibility that the Senate
Democrats will try to fill the breach.,
but it hardly seems possible that a
bill not originating in the "House can
pass. The rumor is revived that the
President will call the new Congress
In session to deal with the financial
question if the present Congress falls
to act. He is almost under a necessity
of doing so if the present condition ol
deficient revenue and drain of the gold
reserve continues. Townsknd
