TO BAR IMMIGRANTS
Precautions Taken to Prevent Cholei
the United States.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. - Seer
Charles Foster will within few q
issue an order further restricting i
grafton. 1t will be an additional e
caution against the Introduce of
cholera. For some days the ste lip
companies have been chatting .he
present restrictions requiring their ships
to 60 into quarantine for twenty days
when they have immigrants on board
Their representatives have had numer-
GUS conferences with Mr.. Foster and
at last an agreement has been reached
which is satisfactory all round. 1t is
that the coming of immigrants shall be
entirely suspended, unless they
choose to come as cabin pas
senPers. The agents of the steam
ship companies say that they are
willing to accept this extreme rule in
order to guard against the introduc-
ton of cholera, which would entirely
kill the steamship business while the
worlds fair was in progress. There
will no longer be any rigid quarantine
for cabin passengers, as the main
danger of the introduction of disease
will be removed by the absolute sus-
pension of immigration in the steerage.

The Action Taken by the Bar Asso-
citation Yesterday.
Yesterday the special committee COM
posed of D. P. Hatch, Stephen NJ. White,
]. S. Chapman, g. @. Stephens, ]. A. An
derson, @. ]. 7. Jones, delegated to pre-
pare memorial on the demise of Judge
H. M. Smith, prepared the following,
which was spread on the minutes of the
several departments of the superior
court:
Henry M. Smith was for many years a
citizen of this county, and member of
this bar: and he was also for some time
Judge of this court. He died in the
prime of life, and while pursuing a sue
cessful professional career. Asa lawyer
his abilities and qualifications were best
known to his professional associates.
He was fortunate in the possession of a
liberal and thorough education, which
enabled him to effectively utilize his re-
markable natural resources. He was
not fond of display. Indeed, he was un-
conscious of his powers and attainments.
His clearness of thought and expression,
his accurate legal judgment, were often
disclosed to his brethren through his
briefs and oral presentation of legal
questions. He was logician. He did
not spend any portion of his time in
seeking subtle distinctions, but declared
himself tersely and plainly. His law
was common sense. We know him as
Judge.
The characteristics that made him
great lawyer assured success on the
bench. The ablest members of the bar
seldom entertained great hopes of vic
tory in the appellate court. if an adverse
decision was rendered by Judge Smith.
He was always able to grasp the salient
issue, and never permitted an adjudica-
tion to rest upon collateral dispute or
purely technical view.
He was particularly impartial.
Judges have sometimes been uncon-
sciously, and hence, honestly, biased
but he seemed when conducting this
court to forget individuality and follow
principle with answering faithfulness.
Vitalized by the pulsings Of heart than
which none was ever more kind, he did
not hesitate to perform the sternest and
most painful judicial duties. His in
tegrity was above reproach. No de-
feated litigant ever accased him of a
wrongful act. Political turmoil never
brought forth suggestion against his
moral worth. When the Creator was
pleased in His omniscient wisdom to
call Henry M. Smith from our midst,
there passed from US an able lawyer, an
honest man, q sincere friend who will
not be forgotten.

THE HELLMAN CASE.
The Judge, on Motion of His Attorney
Dismisses the Defendant.

i llC j uukCy Ol knOLluu VI k1lS k4bLOA ACy,
Dismisses the Defendant.
The case of the Peaple VS.. Marco
Hellman, the young and handsome
insurance agent who was charged with
embezzlement, came to sudden end in
Judge Shaw's branch of the superior
court yesterday afternoon
After the prosecution had presented
their case Mr.. Stephen White, the attor-
ney for MI. Hellman arose, and address,
ing the court made motion that the
defendant be discharged, on the ground
that the prosecutian had failed to estab-
lish their case. The judge so instructed
the Jury and in short while Mr.. He'll
man was dismissed and the jury dis
charged.
The action of the court in dismissing
the case and discharging the jury, shows
that the prosecution i'll this case was
without basis of facts to justify the
very sweeping imputations that were
cast upon the defendant in the prelimi-
nary examination before Justice Stanton.
A peremptory dismissal of this kind
carries with it complete exoneration
of the defendant from the crime with
which he was charged.

THEY WANTED TO WED.
A Youthful Couple Failed to Secure
Marriage License.

A beardless youth with handsome
face entered the marriage license de-
partment of the county clerks Office
yesterday afternoon with pretty girl
leaning on his arm. Her bright face
and girlish figure at once attracted the
attention of the habitues of the office.
81 want to get marriage license,
sir" said the youth to Deputy County
Clerk Bray.
"All right, sir" promptly responded
Deputy Bray.
"My name is Alfred Sackett and this
lady's name is Lupa Rosa"
How old are you? ?" asked the agent
of Hymen.
"Well, I'm 20 years old and this lady
is 49,"
81 suppose you have your parents
consent to be married?" blandly inter-
rogated Mr.. Bray.
But they did not have the necessary
papers and blank look of disappoint-
ment overspread the young mans coun-
tenance. He fingered around for SONS
time, but the deputy was inexorable,
and he finally departed overfowing
with sorrow. They did not return up
to the hour of closing the Office.
