THE CHILD is BORN.
The Association of District and
County Attorneys
TO MEET NEXT YEAR AT AUSTIN
Some Important Resolutions Adopted by
the Convention-The Organization Per-
fected-The Proceedings of the
Body Reported in Full

Probably one of the most important con-
veltions ever held in Texas finished its la
bors and adjourned yesterday. 1t is impor-
tant, because it resulted in the forma-
ton of the Association of County
and District Attorneys Of Texas" The
mere fact of an organization being formed
is not important, aside from the effect it
will have upon the enforcement of the laws,
and the opportunity it will afford for a
yearly comparison of notes and consultation
upon matters pertaining to the duties OF the
prosecuting attorneys. Again, this asso-
clation will doubtless have very beneficial
effect in securing needed legislation, as
united effort is always more successful than
intelligent action is productive of better re-
suits than the unaided spasmodic attempts
of individuals.
The convention was not a large one in
point of numbers, but it was an interesting
one throughout. There were no long
drawn windy speech, the lawyers had come
here for business and it was business clean
through the session.
One popularity of the personnel of the
body lies in the fact that nearly, if not
quite ALL the attorneys in attendance were
young men who are enthusiastic in their
work and who can appreciate the vast i'm
portance that slight changes in existing
laws may prove to the pros
his duty by the state and the people while
giving the defendant every reasonable OPP
portunity to establish his innocence.
There is little doubt that the effect OF this
convention will be seen for years to come,
and that the work inaugurated in the city
of Fort Worth will prove Of vast benefit TO
the state at large.

MRS. BISHOP KEY.
It is Feared She Will Never be Restored
to Health.

It is Feared She Will Never be Restored
to Health.
The many friends of Bishop Joseph S.
Key and his excellent wife will be sorry to
learn that Mrs. Key is quite sick at Eureka
Springs, Ark. She began to decline over a
month ago, and the bishop carried her to
Sunset, on the Fort Worth and Denver
road, hoping that the rest and quiet, COM
bined with the mineral water there, would
restore her. She gradually grew worse
however, and the bishop then decided to take
her to Eureka Springs and see if the fine
climate there, coupled with the pure water,
would not WOO her back to health. So far
there has been no improvement, and fears
of the worst are entertained. If she rallies
enough TO take the trip the bishop will
carry her back to Georgia, to the home of
his son, Rev. DR.. W. H. Key, Columbus,
Ga, where she can be ministered to by low
ing children and kind friends who have
known her for many years. The friends of
Bishop aad Mrs. Key are numbered by the
hundreds in this city and throughout the
state, and to them this notice will bring
genuine sorrow.
