DjVoree Decisions.
BY the U. S. Supreme Court.

CONFORMING TO STATE LAW,
The recent divorce decisions by the Unit
ed States Supreme court, so sensationally
headlfned in the daily papers. merely
conform to state laws, and do not affect
anyone except the parties in the cases on
trial. There were three Of these cases.
In the first the parties were married in
New York, which was the residence OF
the bride, and lived in Kentucky, which
was the residence Of the husband. After
three years, owing to cruel and abusive
treatment, the wife left her husband and
returned to her own state an agreement
Of separation having been entered into
between them. Two years later the hus-
band secured divorce from his wife,
in Kentucky, on the ground Of desertion
serving the notice of the action upon
her by mail, in accordance with the laws
of the state. There was no doubt that he
was a bona-flde resident Of Kentucky at
the time Of the suit, The supreme court
holds that this decree Is valid, and that
other states must recognize its validity
under the clause of the constitution thai
'full faith and credit shall be given IN
each state to the public acts, records
and judicial proceedings Of every other
state"
In the second case the parties were
married in New York state and continued
to reside In New York state. The hug
