1 It is not well to go into the techni-
 calities of vocal culture, especially if it
 ! be at the expense of those elementary
 principles which can be best learned in
 1 childhood and which are so essential in
 1 forming a basis for all musical knoWl-

 { children can learn most by imitation;
 not one in a hundred will fail to imi
 tate correctly the first time loud tone, a soft tone, a sweet tone, harsh tone;
 | then why hamper the children by tech nical explanations? On the whole, 'twere better far, perhaps, that children
 1 should sing in blissful ignorance of vo-
 cal chords, diaphragms, abdominal muscles, etc. Moreover, public school instruction cannot be solely adapted to the capabilities of the children with phenomenal voices or those who have inherited a natural taste for music. On the contrary, it must De made applica- ble to all conditions, races and creeds, from the lowest to the highest; hence those methods must be regarded as rep rehensible which attempt to win repu- tation by exhibition of the talented few at the expense of the uncultured many. In reference to time and measure, l have never yet failed to obtain perfect accuracy in time, whether for the full, half or quarter beat, by what 1 con- ceive to be the most rational way ever vet devised, viz, motion of the hand.

SOUsA WON CHIEF POINTS.
How Supreme Court Decided Case of
Mrs. Blakely VS.. Bandmaster.
(Philadelphia North Anerican.lr

In an opinion by Justice Brown, the su-
preme court of Pennsylvania. in Pittsburg,
recently affirmed the decision of the
common pleas court of Philadelphia
county in the case Of Mrs. Ada P Blake
~ against John Philip Sousa, the cele-
brated bandmaSter-
David Blakely, prior to November, 1886,
when he died, owned and managed Sou
sa's band. After his death Sousa eiaimed
the library OF the band, good will and all
ROYALTIES from copyrights as his exclusive
property. This was resisted by the Blake
ly estate and a bill in equity was filed
To enforce The estates claim to rhe en-
tire library, one-half of the royalties from
copyrighted music composed BY Sousa,
and one-half of the concert proceeds until
Aug. l, 1900.
Former Judge james Cav Gordon was
retained by the bandmaster, and argued
the case in the common pleas court and
in the supreme court, being opposed by
James Beck and John @. Johnson. on be-
half of Mrs. BIakely- The case was OF
vital Importance TO SOuSa, as il involved
the right to use his own name and earn
ingS. past and future
In speaking of the effect of the de-
cision former Judge Gordon said last
night: The decision settles the two
principal points in dispute in favor Of
Blakely's widow claimed that Sousa had
parted with property in the title, .SOuSa' s
band and that he should be restrained
from using it; second. she claimed that
Sousa's contract to play under BIakeIy' S
management lasted IoT five years longer
and Injured to her benefit as his aduinis-
fra trix We claimed rbar TO- coat~o -
ended when Blakely died. The court be-
low found both these points in Sousa 5
favor Mrs Blakely filed exceptions and
appealed.
"TOdays decision decides these points
finally in our favor. The other points
were minor. The band library involves a
matter of a few musical scores We nave
about half of it, which we must slIrrsn-
der. The royalties claimed by MS Bllke-
~ related to the sale of music COMPOSED
by Sousa up to Blakely's death This is
the only point of any importance on
4 = n al &c
point, but the supreme court affirmS the
court below 1 cannot say how much
money it relates to, but il is tridine com
pared with the principal points Of con-
