The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-10-11

A few weeks ago, the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miserable
condition. It was undoubtedly bad
case of la grippe, and recognizing it as
dangerous, he took immediate steps to
bring about a speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make a first trial Of the med1-
cine. To say that it was satisfactory
in it's results, is putting it very mildly,
indeed. It acted like magic and the
result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with a.cough OF
cold in any form.-The Banner OF Lib

BENJAMIN Harrison is the father of a,

street mansion at five o'clock this
morning. DIR. Henry Jameson Off
ciated at the event, and under his care
Mrs. Harrison and the daughter are
progressing finely. Indianapolis society
has been on the qui vive for this an
nouncement for a month past, and al
most daily there have been rumors to
the effect that the child had arrived.
DIR. Jameson was called last evening,
and, with Mrs. Barmuth, the same
nurse who attended BABY Nc
Kee, was in attendance until morning.
Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Harrison's sister was
also present, having come from New
York some weeks ago. The little girl
is a finely formed child, and weighs
eight and three-quarters pounds. Ex-
tensive preparations for the arrival
have been going on at the Harrison
home for months past, and the array of
baby clothes that has been made is suf-
fcient to satisfy the fastidious taste of
even an ex-president's daughter.
If there was in the generals mind
any disappointment that it was not a
boy he gave no indication of it. This
morning was the first Sunday since his
return from the summer sojourn in the
mountains that Gen. Harrison has not
occupied the family pew in the First
Presbyterian church. The announce
ment of the arrival had reached the
church, however, and Mrs. Harrison

hinged on the Manitoba school ques-

Catholic clergy candidate, Lozon, and
liberal candidate, Bertrand. AS was
expected, the church candidate was
elected, his majority being 192. The
liberals or anti-separate school party,
put up strong fight, but the influence
exerted by the church was too great to
overcome, Archbishop Langevin per-

and exhorting his flock from the pulpit
to vote for Lozon. The Roman Catho-
lies are greatly elated over the victory
as it Endorses their stand for separate
