Judge Bartholomew, who SO recently
laid asid the ermine, has, at the great
summons which sooner Of later comes to,
all, putgof as well those earthly habili-
ments which here enrobe the human
soul. While the stream Of his life was
flowing on With its noiseless andsunruf-
fled yet powerful current, it plunged.
without q moments warning down
the precipice Of death into that dark
and mysterious abyss we call the I'M
known. . 0
He to whom iusticeW was 81 sacred, may
well claim from his professional breth-3
rengthat unstinted justice be done his
memory by written and spoken eulogY,,
though i he could yet speak from out
the unseen no solicitation for encomiums
would be heard from his lips, forshe was
One Of the most modest OF men.
The members of the bar association Of
this state make this pseermranentrecord Of
his worth as a man III all relations, and
his exceptional ability and fidelity as d
Judge. His nature was kindness itself.
His geniality was not something put on
land Wornt to attract. Every one felt it
Ito be the outward expression Of innate
warmth OF hears and broad human SYM
upathy. Whileon d OF the most approach
liable Of raensh he yet possessed q dignity 81
8 bearing and an elevation Of character
that compelled respect. He Impressed
all with whom he came i contact as q
mansof power. Though quiet, modest,
ssIunobtrusive and unpretentiious, all left
J his presence feeling that there. resided il
u him great strengthen will and frmness
and decision Of character, that none
could take liberties with him and that
SIhe possessed all the elements of true
( heroism. No matter what troubles be.
: set his pathway his serene and unrufled
] temper was never disturbed; and not
even his most intimate friends eve,
heard complaint Of any character from
I his lips. As 8 Judge he has left upor

ylopinions SO many witnesses to his abili
