HARRISON M'KEE’S ILLNESS.

His Condition Remains Unchanged— His Fame as “Baby” Mckee, The condition of Benjamin McKee, exPresident Harrison's grandson, who is suffering with what is believed to be pneu-

monia, was unchanged at last reports. Master McKee’s serious illness recalls the literature current about him when he was a baby. He is the son of J. H. McKee, who married Mr. Harrison’s (laughter, and “Baby McKee” was ever a favorite with hi s distinguished grandfather. When Mr. Harrison went to live in the White House his precocious

grandson shared with him the brunt of all the personal gossip that usually follows a presidential election, and “Baby McKee” became as much of a national character as any Senator or Congressman or member of the cabinet. During the campaign of 1888 little McKee was as much written about as anybody, and the pet name given him by the press stuck to him even nfter he had grown up to be a big boy. He is an interesting child, and his illness is the concern of all of Gen. Harrison’s friends.
