done 50 much, the care of fish. He had
Two bills. One for the protection OF
sturgeon and other game fish was intro.
daced IN the House by Representative

Donahoe introduced an act protecting
olack bass or front in New Castle county.

GOVERNOR GRAY.
IL is no longer Representative GRAY.
put Governor Gray. In moment Of
forgetfulness at the Builders Exchange
the usually modest member from vii
mington represented the whole state OF
Delaware. The governor was down to
respond to this toast, but not being present
Mr. Gray was thought to be the fit repre-
sentative. General Kenney. who has been
representing the governor in militia mat.
ters, has put in claim that Mr. GRAY
snail not interfere with his prerogatiye AZ
to militia matters.
DIVORCE CASES.
The Divorce Committee held tba;,
usual session to-day. Several cases were
considered. Among them was one which
had queer ending. T. Ellwood Singlev
a few weeks ago applied for a divorce
from his wife, Kate +. Singley. Singley
appeared and made out good case. His
wife appeared, represented by City Solici.
tor Turner and the result was that the
committee decided to refuse Sinolev !
divorce but to give his wife one If She
desired it, Accordingly bill was intro
duced with title that is pretty rough on
the husband. II is entitled AN ACT Ia
relieve Kate +. Singley from the dis
ability of coyerture. The act changes
her name and that Of her child.
NOTES.
OF the patronesses at the late hall
especial credit is due Mrs "A. b. Richard.
son, Mrs. DR.. Lewis and Mrs. General
Armstrong. They were on hand early and
were unfiagging in their attentions.
There is serious contention between
the member from New Castle and the
member from St Georges as to who IL the
leader Of the Anti White Cap Singing
Society
A Wilmington gentleman, speaking of
Senator Donahoe, a few days since. said
that Wilmington has never had such a
representative who attends to his bust
ness. He advises his constituents who
have bills of every move they take.
The balance left Of the ball fund is
1910. The amount is not as great as
was expec ed. just what viii be done
with the balance has not been deter.
mined. An effort may be made to have
ball at the wind up of the Legislature.
Many kind things are being said about
Colonel Cooper's elegant entertainment
to a number of friends, after the ball
closed on Tuesday night. In proposing
the toasts he had happy word for
everyone.
