This Parrot will Welcome Dewey.

A dispatch from Washington dated
Sept. 25 says: A parrot oil exceptional
linguistic accomplishments will join in
the welcome now being prepared for
Admiral Dewey in Washington. The
bird is the property of Mrs. Washington
Mclean, an old friend of Dewey and
mother OF the millionaire gas owner of
Washington and gubernatorial candi-
date of Ohio. Some time ago Mrs. Nc
Lean offered to Admiral Dewey the use
of her residence, at the corner OF Con-
necticut avenue and Farragut square,
urging him to occupy it as his own dur
ing his stay in Washington. The offer
was accepted, and the house has been
prepared for the Admiral's reception.
The parrot is always a conspicuous OBJ
ject about the premises, his cage being
hung sometimes at the front entrance
and sometimes at the side. For the last
week member of Mrs. McLean's family
has been teaching Polly new trick, and
if he is faithful to his tuition he will call
out heartily to the Admiral when he en-
tiers the house next week:
Hello, George! Hello, George Dewey !
Walk in, Georgel"
The parrot has already practised this
salutation on several male visitors, but
it is predicted by Polls owner that he
will soon become acquainted with the
identity of the real Admiral Dewey.
