months ago to begin life of shame in
this city, was yesterday taken by Mrs

OUR JUDGES AFFIRMED.
Decisions Handed Down by the Suprcm,


| Decisions Handed Down by the Supreme
Court.
Decisions in seven Lackawanna coun-
ty cases were handed down by the SUI
preme court at Philadelphia yesterday
| and in all of them the decisions of the
local judges were sustained One of
the cases decided was Silas Hartley
against Charles Millard and John Hull.
which has been tried three times in
the local courts. Hartley sued to OBJ
tain possession Of land at Moscow pur-
chased by John Hull at sheriff sale.
This land was sold as the property of
Charles Millard and Hartley main
tanned that he purchased it by parole
agreement from Hartley before the
sheriff's sale. The first time it was
tried the verdict was for Hartley. A
new trial was granted which resulted
in a verdict for Hull. Again a new
trial was granted and the third trial
took place before Judge Sittser last
July. Again verdict was returned for
Hull Hartley applied for a new trial
and it was refused. This decision the
supreme court says was correct.
Decision Regarding Wages.
The decision of the higher court in
the case of NJ. j. Futchy against o. S.
Lutz, Scranton Traction company, gar
nishee, sustains the position of this
court that wages cannot be attached
for wages. LutZ employed Futchy and
did not pay him. Then LutZ went to
work for the Traction company and
| Futchy attached his wages. Judge
| Edwards decided that this action was
| illegal and endorsed a similar opinion
delivered by Judge Hand when he was
president judge. Judge Rice, of Lu-
zerne county, i'm an opinion filed on the
same subject, took contrary view of
the case. Yesterdays decision by the
supreme settles this disputed question.
Judge Archbald's decision in the case
of the Pennsylvania Agricultural So
ciety against E. B. Jermyn. treasurer
Of the Lackawanna County Agricul-
tural society, was endorsed, the appeal
from it being dismissed The decision
of the lower court in the case of Fred
Durr against d. p. Replogle was also
affirmed.
Carbondalc Damage Suits.
When the case of Patrick May
against the Carbondale Traction COM
pany, to recover damages for changing
the grade of the street in front of his
property, was tried before Judge Arch
bald, the company tried to place the
| blame on the city but Judge Archibald
ruled that it could not be done under
| the facts of the case. A verdict was
rendered for the plaintiff and a new
trial appealed for and refused. The
supreme court sustains Judge Archibald
| in refusing the ne wtIial.
The action of the local court was also
| sustained in the actions of the heirs of
Aaron Griffin against Ambrose Mulley
and Kearney against the Central Rail-
| road of New Jersey.

some of the Requirements Necessary to
 Become n Successful Teacher.
 Numbered with natural qualifications required i'll one who contemplates tho study of music as a profession are inborn love for music which ought to be mani fcstcd early ill life; a good English edu cation, including some knowledge of German and French; d good presence, industry, rrsrvCr;lllrp, patience, an an- gclic disposition and a faculty of i'm parting intclligently what is known to others: These are among some of the in di$p"" H requirements. some knowl edge (: .,sn nature, sufficient to un dcrSt,: tn guide pupils onward so as to l,.>.. 70 the best results, is impor- tant
 The rudimcnts, the most essential part of all branches of education, claim the earnest attention of those who wish to become competent or successful teachers. How few students i'll any depa1 tment of science, literature or art think the rudi mcntS of sufficient importance t0 devote much time to their study, to learn them as they should 0 learned. Yes, for few teachers ever take the trouble to aScCr- tain whether their pupils are thoroughly grounded ill them or not. The success fu1 teacher never neglects to indelibly stamp on the minds of his pupils the great importance of the first principles at the beginning of his instructions.
 Next i'll importance tu this subject the successful teacher begins the technical work. In piano or organ playing the true movement of tho fingers is explain ed by the use of simple finger exercises. The wrist movement and carriage of the arms follow. The scales and arpcggiOs furnish the key to nearly all technical difficulties. That they should be correct ly fingered and perfectly learned goes without saying. The rules given for the finger, wrist and arm movements, to- gothcr with correct lingering of scales, arpcggiOS, and other passages, furnish the vital points of study for successful pianists and piano instruction.
 There is no denying the fact that in correct lingering leads to coarse playing, and that such playing is largely the re- suit of very poor instruction. There is no such thing on record where persons havc become good performers, or sue cCssful teachers, who have not at some time been thoroughly schoolrd or edu- catcd by the most competent masters. It is prcpoStcr"uS tn suppose there have, or that one, two or three terms of G- structiUn will produce a successful tcarh or. To be d successful piano teacher, ono must learn and he familiar with tho general routine of piano studlcS, with their educational pieces.
