A daughter was bom to Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Harrison at 5 o’clock Sunday morning. Dr. Jameson, in attendance, pronounces that the cfhild weighs eight and one-half pounds and is robust.

It is said that in the early summer the ex-President will take his wife and little daughter to the Adirondacks, where he owns a splendid estate.
