RAISING TIN STANDARD.
Young Law Students VIII Have to Subm
to a Rigid Preliminary Examination

Young Law Students VIII Have to Submit
to a Rigid Preliminary Examination in
the Future.
The Board OF Examiners of the Bar
Of New Castle County has adopted new
rules concerning the registry of students
at law and 1t is altogether probable that
the hopes of many young man ambi-
tious to enter the study Of law will fall
when he reads tho new rnles which the
board of examiners have prescribed AS
member OF the bar expressed 1t this
morning the enforcement of the new
rules as applied to the bar of New
Castle county, would exclude many OF
the lawyers which are now practicing
in the courts, who are regarded as
skilled in legal lore, Nevertheless, the
young law student will have to master
the subjects prescribed before he can
even pass his preliminary examinations.
One of the new rules reads as follows:
"rhat he shall no possessed of the ele.
ments of liberal education of which
the evidence shall be, either diploma
of university or college of good stand
ing comforting the degree of Bachelor of
Arts or Bachelor OF Science, or an ex-
animation satisfactory to the board"
The rules further specify that the stu
dent, in addition to a general know.
ledge, must be proficient in "mathc-
matics, arithmetic, algebra, including
quadratic equations and plane geom-
etry, history of the United States, Eng
lish history; in Latin so far as TO have
read and be able to read the first four
books of Cesar's Commentaries, or an
equivalent amount of some other stand
ard Latin author"
As some one expressed IL yesterday
the bar examining committee will proba-
bly, have to "brush up on mathematics"
themselves and get down their old
Cesar lexicon, before they will he pre-
pared to conduct the examinations pre-
scribed for the students at law. An
other new rule is that no students regis
tered in either Of the other counties of
this State will be examined by the New
Castle county board, except on the
written request Of the board of exami-
ners Of such other county.
The intention of the rules is to in
crease the standard Of the bar of the
county, and in this the examining com.
mittee will doubtless be successful.

had grown stronger and better, but had

Editor Gdaette: What u remarkable
piece of assumption il is on the part of
Mr.. Washington Hastings to try to rule
George V. Massey out OF the Senatorial
contest. When. pray, was it delegated to
Mr.. Hastings, Mr.. Sperry and General
Wilson to dictate the policy of the Repub-
loan party of Delaware. And what colossal
impotence 1t Is in Mr.. Hastings to attempt
to run the party all by himself in the alb
sance of the other two.
Mr.. Massey has said all along that he
was not candidate for Senator and he
says he is not now. But he is not foolish
enough to say that he would not accent it
before the position is rendered him. X.

A CoIored Mans Death From Exposure
at Frugtown Crossing.

MIDDLETowN. Jan. 2G.-Last night a
white man, accompanied by two negroes,
en- route to Dover with several horses,
were overcome by the cold and one of the
negroes sat down on the step of the flag
mans station at trogtown. The others
made their way to Middletown and secured
accommodations for the balance of the
night. They resumed their journey this
morning surprising that the other man
had secured lodging AT one of the negro
houses near Forest cemetery and would
come in later.
When the fiagman went to his post this
morning, he discovered the man dead in
the place where he had been left by his
companions. Constable Reed was notified
and accompanied by Squire Ferguson and
Undertaken Wilson repaired to the place
where the body lay to make an investiga-
ton
