Mr.. Williams was born in San Fran
cisco. Cal, but as he says himself, had
the good fortune to stray East. Be-
fore locating In Scranton. he was en-
gagged in promoting publicity In Chi
cago and Rochester. N. Y. With re-
ference to this business, Mr.. williams
gives the following information:
II occupy the same relation to the
advertiser that the lawyer does to the
lltigant. 1 advise, write, plan and
manage advertising campaigns, either
local or foreign. and am recognized as
an agent by all American newspapers
ard magazines. l represent the adver-
tisng interests of many Scranton
firms, besides furnishing u regular ad-
vertsing service TO advertisers in all
parts OF the country"
Only a few years ago 1t would have
been eminently fitting and proper to
apply the description OF zone of the
younger members of the bar" to NJ. j.
Martin, the attorney who took Judge
Kelly's place as Joseph O'Brien's law
partner. No one thinks of doing it now.
Not that he has aged faster than time,
but in his profession he has jumped to
the forefront of local practitioners. He
had been wanting opportunity of prov
ing his worth. Mr.. O'Bren was look.
ing for some one who would fit in the
vacancy caused by Judge Kelly's with
drawal. Mr.. Martin was invited to take
the place and accepted. 1t was not long
before he proved that Mr.. O'Brien had
made good choice.
Big cases came to be entrusted to
him and he handled them with the skill
of n veteran. His ready wit thorough
education and immense capacity for
work resulted as they only could result,
in +his making the most of his new op-
portunities and winning for their pos
SCISSOR the recognition of his brethren
OF the bar as one of their number who
belonged in the front rank. Mr.. Martin
Is unpretentious and pleasant, and pos
sesses the happy faculty of being able
to take the trouble to make and keep
friends. as u result of which no one who
knows him is not sincerely gratifed at
his success.
Lieutenant of Police Amasa Palmer.
who has been in charge of the North
Scranton precinct ever since Iona Day,
the present superintendent, was called
from that place to become detective, is
maintaining the splendid record estab-
lished by his predecessor with great
efficiency and is demonstrating that he
is what Recorder Connell has long con-
sidered hm-one of the most capable
and level-headed members of the local
police force.
Smiling Amy he is popularity called,
because of his great and continued good
nature, but Smiling Amy is by no
ate of the policemen under him, but he
never allows them to impose upon his
good nature. If one of them attempts
it the smile on the lieutenants face
gives place to II determined look and
the inferior officer realizes at once that
there is no Use trying to get fresh"
1t is questionable if man could have
been chosen for the place who is so
popular with North Scrantonians as is
the lieutenant. Hardly anyone you see
addressing him calls him lieutenant
Everybody calls him Amy" and he
doesn't seem to think it detracts from
the dignity of his place one bit

Mountain, Idaho, where he will engage in gold
mining. \ large number OF acauaintances and
school friends accompanied Him to the station
and bade him hearty farewell.
