The evil comes partly from the charac

The sa psris< Coart Tskes Action upo1
the Death Of Judge Hsisaes.

<aS 0~etA -
A number Of attorneys met at the
superior court room yesterday morn
IRg 70 take action upon the death OF
Judge Holmes. Judge Buriingame sp-
pointed Col. A. I. McKeynolds, Hon.
Ebenezer ;. Eggleston aud Hon. l. ID.
Norris a committee 20 draft suitable
resolutions and prefaced them with the
following remarks:
Judge Holmes Is dead. Our press
has relieved Us Of the necessity Of any
extended remarks as 10 his life. the
public pos tons ne has 80 acceptably
tiiled. and a recapituiatIon OF his many
admirable qualities aud virtues.
But II cannot relieve Us OF the sor-
row Tor hls loss, nor can IL portray how
closely he was lntertwined III our alice
tons. Judge Holmes has no duplicate.
Upon the bench, at the Tar, upon tue
street as you met him. IN the social err
Gle and 81 home, he was the same
plain, dIgnIfied. kind and cordial gen
tleman or the old school. No elevation
could change him; no Teverses, no mat
ter how severe, even RULED the calm
surface OF ms daily life. Ii he suffered.
he suffered alone. No complaint OF
his Was permitted TO mar the ENJOY
ment OF his friends. lie was more
than a model man; his serenity, cordi-
ahty and kindllness could not be ImI-
tated. He was John L. Holmes. There
could be, and can be no other like hm.
He brought TO the bench an orderly
dignity that Was al example that
should, but scarcely can be closely smi-
lated. | we'll remember when he
assembled the bench of the superior
court, how the sheriff, the Judge and
the clerk of the court formed n trinity
marching daily from his Office to the
bench, always IN the same precise
order.
"He ruled his court with dignity and
love. Attorneys at the bar of MS court
were his brothers. His rulings were
quiet, pleasant and firm, and no one
thought of unfalrness IN any OF them.
81 said he was more than a model
man. He was a model man. model
citizen, model lawyer, a model judge
and model Christian, and more than
all he loved and was interested in the
welfare and success of all his fellow
men. As have SO MANY of our eminent
men recently. so has Judge Holmes
gone from among us. His place in
society will never again be so complete
ly filled.
THAT we NAV 80 well perform our
duties and obligations to our fellow
men as to entltle us to a generous
moiety of the regard Judge Holmes has
won, should be the aim of all OF us, and
If We are successful therein, then may
we, and all who know us. feel that
truly We have not lived in vain.
"Out of respect and in deepest
mourning for our friend and brother
the superior court Of Grand Rapids
over which the late Judge John T..
Holmes first presided is now adjourned
for the day.
