that is concerned the arc lights are
superior, probably because of their
higher elevation and also because of a
greater candle power. The gas lamps

however. one citizen, who watched the
trial with much interest on saturday
night, going over the route illuminated
by the six new lamps, said that he was
greatly pleased with the lamps, as far
as they went but they did not go far

Judge j. w. Carpenter was neNe,
referred to as "one of the best known
men at the bar He went on ths
bench with the intimate acquaintance
ship of comparatively few of his tel-
low lawyers. He was not recluse,
or unsociable, but his practice was, in
large measure, "ottice work. and 1t
being a large practice, and he man
who closely applied himself to his
work, his opportunities for becoming
'chummy' with the other members OF
the bar were restricted. On this ac-
count as might naturally be expected,
there were possibly some who We're
not ready to say enthusiastically that
the new Judge would fill every require
ment of the position, that in this court
has been so illustriously filled. If
there We're SUCH 1t Is safe to say they
do not now exist.
Even In the short time that Judge
Carpenter has worn the ermine. he has
given every evidence of remarkable Mt
ness for the judiciary. 1t does not
take the average lawyer Very long To
measure judge before whom he prac-
tices. and ii does not require great
period of time for the estimate mus
formed 10 make the round of the bar.
Most of the leading attorneys appeared
before Judge Carpenter during arsu-
ment week, and not a few of them
have had occasion to deal with him
individually in equity and other pro-
ceedings, 1t is not saying anything
eXtravagant Ia declare that the Lacka-
wanna bar has formed its opinion Of
the new Judge and that the opinion
Is a most fiatterng one.
