In speaking this morning of the
action of the National Bar association in
relation to uniformity of divorce an d
other laws. Judge Grubb said:
1.-THE committee was continued on that

ware committee is composed of
Thomas L. Bayard, George V. Massey

Delaware is at the head Of every state in
the Union in many respects. One of the
most striking instances is the law passed
by the last General Assembly preventing

number of votes that he would get. and
even yesterday one citizen bet another a
nice new hat that Charley would not

resort TO underhand measures to beat
