ASSEMBLY HALL BULLETIN.
Meetings of Organized Labor to Be
Held This Week.

Inc clSaf0akefS union went on
record Thursday evening as opposed
to the admission of a delegate from the
Socialist Labor party to the Trades
and Labor assembly. Although num-
Der of the members believe in the prin-
ciples of socialism they take no stock
in the De Leon definition of the word
that it is necessary to disrupt union
organization because the leaders do
wrong. 1t is not long since that the
Cigarmakers' International union was
attacked by the Socialists, and an at
tempt made to show that the union was
bankrupt. The attempt failed, as there
was not a scintilla of evidence on
which to base the charges. Such tactics
may win in Europe, but never in the
United States of America

discussion having recently arisen with

castle. the residence of the grand old
man." it may be as we'll to poiut out that
the estate does not belong the greatest of
1t originally belonged to Sir Stephen
Glynne, the elder brother of old
Mrs. Gladstone. and when he died, a
bachelor, he willed the place. not to his
sister nor TO her husband, but to the
latter's eldest son, now dead, and
through whom it has passed to his eld-
est boy, a lad of II. now at Eton.
Sir Stephen. however, stipulated that his
sister and brother-in-law should have the
occupancy of the castle and estates during
their lives. That this disposition of the
place was in nowise dsagreeable to the
grand old man. is apparent from the
fact that he has devoted the 81 900 900
which he received in the shape OF bequest
from his parents and other relatives in
great part TO the purchase of land destined
to increase the estate. which, with its
valuable collieries, clay pits, etc, now
yields an income of $4,000 year. Not
that MIR. Gladstone has by any means
this sum at his disposal to spend. On
the contrary, during the course of his
public life, he has often been in pecuniary
straits, this. too. in spite of his fame as the
foremost tlnancier of the Victoria era. In
deed. he was compelled on one occasion to
sell his library. constituting the collection
OF lifetime. on another occasion to put
up at auction his cherished and valuable

A MOTHER WANTS HER CHILD
Papers in an Unusual Habeas Corpus
Case Filed
hrs. EstudiiIo Trying to Gain Possession Of
Her Four.Year- Old Daughter-The
Alleged Facts Set Forth

Attorney Moye G. Norton filed the papers
in rather unusual habeas corpus case yes
terday. The application was presented in
department one before Judge Smith, who
issued a writ returnable this afternoon at 2
o'clock.
The writ is to gain possession of the A.
year-old child of Mrs. Hattie Estudillo by
her former husband, the name of the in
fant being Eta Hornaday. When Mrs
Estudillo was divorced from her husband
sic placed her child with Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. f. Watterson, wealthy English
couple, for safe keeping. MIR. and Mrs.
Watterson became very much attached to
the child, and when the mother, after a
year or more. took her back and went to
live with her mother, Mrs. Sheets,
at Vernon, Mr.. Watterson and his
wife frequently visited the house to
see her. With the mothers consent, they
frequently took the child home with them.
keeping her with them for day or two al
a time. Finally in April last, it is alleged
that Mr.. and Mrs. Watterson took the
child, as the mother supposed for short
visit, but in place of returning it, went
east, carrying her with them. A short
time ago it is alleged that Mr.. Watterson
returned to the city, and went to the child's
mother to see about her. saying that he and
his wife we're very much attached to the
child, and offered the mother monetary
consideration to relinquish all claims to
her, and offered to adopt the child if this
was done.
Mrs. Estudllo did not wish to give up her
child, and employed Mr.. Norton to take
such steps as were necessary to regain pos
session of her. Application was accord
ingly made for a writ of habeas corpus, it
being set forth on Information and belief
that the child was in the city. Yes erday
afternoon Mr.. Norton met Mr.. Watterson
at the office of J. V. Harmon. his attorney,
where he served the papers upon him, and
the case will be tried today.
1t was stated last evening that Mr.. Wat
terson had said that the child was with his
wife in Boston. and if this is the case it will
come out in the proceedings today.

THERE is every probability that the
remnants of the fine italian army that
entered Abyssinis with conquering in
tentions will be withdrawn and the
foolish attempt to subdue fierce and
warlike people in strange country be
given up. The people of Italy have,
if the scenes being enacted throughout
the kingdom mean anything made up
their minds not to waste further blood
and treasure in the scheme of Abyssin-
ian conquest. To call a halt now may
be humiliating, but it is better than
continuing an impossible task.
On the Italian people in general very
little sympathy can be spent. The
campaign against Abyssinia was one of
invasion pure and simple, just a plain
attempt at the theft Of country. The
Abyssinians are just as devoted to their
country as the Italians are to Italy, and
it is apparent that they are ready and
able to vigorously resist any attempt at
subjugation. For the thousands of
poor devils who in the mistaken name
of patriotism have been shot, speared
and crushed to death the world may
rightly feel sorry. They we're the VIC
tins Of the greed of princes and the
ambition of politicians.

WAS ASPHYXIATED BY GAS
Isaac B. Ferguson Found UncOnsci0u:
Last Night in Bed
Taken From the Somerset House to the
County Hospitai-tie Is Now on the
Road to Recovery

About 5 80 yesterday morning Isaac B.
Ferguson, an old pioneec, was found as
phyxiated by gas in his room at the Somer-
set house on Fifth street, between Los
Angeles and Wall streets. At the hour
stated lodger named Logan, whose room
adjoins that of Ferguson, detected the
cdor of gas, which became SO strong as to
sicken him. He notified the proprietor
and it was found that the odor emanated
from the old mans room. The door was
locked, and no answer being returned to
repeated knocks window which opens
onto the inner hallway was forced.
The outward rush of gas almost over
powered the rescuers. but when the air
had been a little purified they entered.
Ls ing in bed in his night clothes was the
unconscious form of Ferguson, while from
all open gas jet poured the stream which
had so nearly suffocated him. Doors and
windows were opened AMI the pure air
flowed freely in, and messengers were at
once dispatched to notify his relatives and
to secure medical attendance.
The son-in-iaw of the old man ID Charles
Eaton, who is furnishing a saloon at Fifth
and Spring streets. Mr.. Eaton at once
dispatched DR.. Khurts to the scene, and
everything possible was done to resuscitate
the sufferer.
After relieving the immediate exigencies
of the case, Ferguson was removed 10 the
county hospital, where he at present is.
Owing to his advanced age, "a years, a
fatal result was at first feared, but his
strong constitution will pull him through.
and he was last night pronounced out of
danger. Ferguson is well-known char
acter, having been engaged in the mer-
chandising and freighting business years
ago, before railroads were known in the

SEMI. CENTENNIAL OF TEXAS

The wide-swake citizens of that pro.

ready to celebrate the tiftieth anniver.
sary of the birth of the Lone Star
state, by holding mammoth exposi-
ton, in which the wonderful resources
and advantages of the great common
wealth will be exploited as never be-
fore. The project seems to have
aroused considerable enthusiasm m
throughout the state. Texas has made
considerable progress since the close
of the unfortu late civil war, but not
nearly as much as her varied and val
liable resources made possible. The
semi-centennial exposition, if conduct

the states attractions. The movement
for the exposition was initiated recent
ly at a convention attended by be-
tween 500 and 600 representative oiti-
zens, delegates coming from every part
of the state. The Dallas Morning
News, one Of the strongest papers of
Texas, has the following to say Of the
enterprise:
"Dallas has made bold, brilliant effort
to inagurate a movement which is ex-
pected to culminate in striking and far
reaching demonstration of the inherent
force and power of the commonwealth of
Texas. determined effort by the live,
vigorous citizenship of Dallas in any direc-
ton is well worthy of public confidence. if
one is to judge by past achievements: but
in the proposed semi-centennial exposition,
which was the subject Of deliberation by
yesterdays convention. it is apparent that
all Texas is ready and anxious to cooper
ate. And Dallas, sustained by the power
and wealth and in ntelligence of the safe,
can not fail. The interest and patriotism
which predominated in yesterdays proceed
ings are not to be under-rated or misunder-
stood. For a long time it has been appar-
ent to the wideawake citizenship of the
commonwealth that forward movement
is necessary TO place Texas upon the high
way to general and substantial prosperity;
i: has been felt by many that development
in agriculture, commerce and industry has
been hindered and tampered by profit
less aud stupefying dabbling in worn out or
preposterous schemes of political adven-
ture. The public mind has been drawn
away from matters of practical importance
to the immature and ill-shapen theories
and vagaries of fledgling politicians and
irresponsible demagogues. This condition
of affairs could not last if Texas is to keep
abreast with the civilization of later years.
Men of brain and patriotism saw the situa-
ton and resolved to deal with it according
to the necessities of the times. Hence yes
terday's convention. The clear-cut. intel
ligent action of the delegates shows that the
movement is an earnest one."
