A RELATIVE OF WASHINGTON. A re
porter calling at the Cottage hotel learned
the interesting fact that Mrs. Whitehorn,
wife OF the gentleman giving instructions
in physical culture in this city, is related
to Mayor Ebenezer Burges Ball, OF Vir-
ginia, and q living relative OF George
Washington, to whom she bears . strik-
ing resemblance. The resemblance OF
Mrs Whitehorn to the Washington fam
lily features is also quite marked. Mgjor
Ball crossed the plains in 1880 and was
entertained at the home OF John Mimic,
five miles south Of Salem, and is very
well remembered By pioneers of that
time. Major Ball brought a troop Of
United States infantry to the Pacific
