The death of Washington Mclean, an
nounced in another column, recalls good
story to gentleman in this city familiar
with national politics. He said last
evening: "Mr. Mclean was a power in
Ohio politics for years. His paper. The
Cincinnati Enquirer. was. as it now is, an
influential factor and he controlled great
many workers i'll the party. Mclean had
planned to make his great stroke in the
democratic national convention of 1865 by
nominating Pendleton for president. He
failed in this and afterwards he and PEN
dleton became bitter enemies. At that
convention Mclean was accompanied
by hurrah crowd of Cincinnati heelers
Who were to yell Pendleton through. They
| were present early in the morning and con.
tinued to yell all day. Among them was
one fellow who insisted on yelling for Nc
Lean. Every three minutes the convention
would be startled by laundering CRY

ress of work this fellow became
moro intoxicated and his voice
in some way became entangled between
his throat and tongue. Later he was heari
yelling for wash Mclean" then TO
"WashMcLean," and finally for "Wash'm
lean." At that point an aged delegate from
rural district arose and stated that dur

cries from a certain individual in the gal

Remarkable "Nearness.'
On April FL. 1856. James Wood, one
of the wealthiest private bankers in
England. was buried. He was noted
for his penuriousuess, and good story
illustrating this trait in his character is
told. One Sunday before going to
church he gave little boy, who acted
as his servant. q chicken to be roasted
for dinner. The cooking process began.
and IS the bird was turned and basted
the savory steam which arose whetted
the boys appetite and he ventured to
rub his fingcr on the breast, which was
being gradually Drowned, and apply the
finger to his mouth. The taste was de-
licious. He became hungrier and
bolder. and picked away q NOR
sell OF the chickens breast then
another and another, and before
he realized what he was doing the
whole bird had disappeared His hun
ger being appeased. he saw his fault,
and, trembling at the prospect of meet
ing his master. he thought of hiding.
On entering closet adjoining the room
he saw . small bottle with the awful
label Poison" upon it He feared
death much. but his master more, and
he resolved to end his days then and
there. He drained the bottle, and
thought he Was safe from his masters
rage. In short time the old banker
returned. ready to enjoy the chicken
and his glass Of brandy and water.
Great Was his surprise when he saw
that both the chicken and boy had dis
appeared. On making search he found
the youthful cook lying on the pantry
door with the empty bottle by his size.
The mystery was solved The boy was
drunk, for the bottle had contained

This includes trim med and untrimmed
bonnets and hats from London, Paris,
Vienna, New York and Chicago.
The trimmings are sufficiently varied
to suit any taste. But in case changes
are desired, there is on hand an as
sortment OF ostrich tips and p!umes,
tropical birds, and trimmings of all
kinds.
This department is in charge of
Miss ScougalI, Of Chicago, who has
been in the business several years in

J. C. Fox must have been pleased
at the success Of his grand opening
of fall and winter goods yesterday.
A TIMES reporter who wished to look
through the establishment called there
five times before he could speak to
either Mr.. Fox or Ills clerks, so great
was the rush of visitors Ladies came
there from Shoshone, Camas Prairie,
Bellevue, Ketchum, Vienna and even
beyond; and If they did not make the
trip on purpose they certainly took al.
vantage of it to witness the opening.
And they doubtless felt amply re.

large stock within which, together
with the gen,lemen's fine neckwear
and other furnishing goods, occupies
one side Of the store, and comprises
the largest, most varied assortment to

least attractive portion of the display.
On entering the visitor sees show
