 JUDGE M'QUEEN
 The recent death of Judge John Mcqueen brings grief and mourning to his associates of the Birmingham Bar association, to which heN gave more than 90 years of faithful and efficient service.
 He was the founder of the South ern club of this city and it's presi- dent for five years: was one of the promoters of the present Southern Baseball league and was president Of the Birmingham baseball club at the time it won it's first pennant. He was lover of all manly outdoor sports; was one of the organizers, and at the time of his death was president of the Choctaw Bend Hunting and Fishing club.
 f1o was lover or nature ana u man of artistic temperament, es- thetic taste and the beautiful in life appealed to him as it is given, to but few men to appreciate.
 He was a conspicuous figure in our city, an attractive personality and a man of genial comradeship; he loved mankind as well as nature, and in his passing we lose one of the true type of the old-fashioned southern gentlemen reflectipg the highest ideals of the old south that he loved so well. His gentleness, kindness and ever-present optimism endeared hiH to all who knew him, and his life found q ready and abiding response and devotion in the sacred place in our hearts where permanent friend ships are treasured.
 E. H. Cabaniss made a short talk paying beautiful tribute to the mem ory of the deceased jurists, in which he said:
 Judges memories are perpetuated by the opinions that they write; their memories are written in the laws of the state. Lawyers, how ever, are soon forgotten, and it is therefore fit and proper that the members of the bar should seek to perpetuate the memory of their de- parted brothers.
 JUDGE WEAKLEY
 In speaking of Judge Weakley. Mir Cabaniss reviewed the work of this jurist, and said in part:
 As a lawyer he was fearless and unsparing of himself in prosecuting or defending the interests of hls clients. Their cause he made his own such was the intensity of his na- ture-but while he sought to win, he never stopped to deceit or chicanery The success that he gained was due to native ability and untiring indus try and not to practices of artifice and indirection. He scorned to take a base advantage of an adversary. and the honesty of his nature would never permit him to attempt to mis- lead the court.
 Col. Alex c. Garber made brief talk on the life of Judge Weakley in which he paid a glowing tribute to him. On motion of Lieut.. Gov. Nathan l. Miller. resolution was adopted that the supreme court be requested to set aside an evening in April. at the call of the Jefferson county division, as a memorial to the memory of the jurist who was formerly chief justice of the. supreme court.
