FAILURE OFTEN
IS VALUABLE
SO DECLARED BEV. ELKANAH
HULLEY YESTERDAY.
In an Admirable Address Delivered
nt tho Teacheis' Instituto He
Pointed Out That Most Successful
Careers Aro Buildcd Upon a Foun
dation of Failures Superintendent
Jones on tho Monroe Doctrine,
Annual Meeting of Dlicctois' As
sociation Held.
One of the most Interesting fcatuies
of the county teachers' Institute yes
terday was an admirable address on
"The Educational Value of rnllurcs,"
delivered at the afternoon session by
Rev. Elknnnh Hulley, piinclpnl of Key
stone academy, nnd recognized, though
still a young man, ns one of the foie
most educators of the state.
In beginning his remarks Rev. Mr.
Hulley dcclnred that given an almost
total failure, a man possessed of dis
crimination enough to detect the faults
which led to this failure and of ability
sufllclcnt to put foith his efforts in an
other direction, could make a grand
success In life. He told of the numei
ous examples In histoiy of men whoo
success has dated fiom their failure
notably, Demosthenes, the gient Grecian
orator, whose mlseiable failure as n
public speaker, when he (list appeared
beioie the Athenian populace, led him
to studiously coirect his faults nnd fin
ally pjneed him nt the head nnd fore
front of nil orators of all times.
A fair degree of success, he declared,
often pauilyzes a man nnd prevents
him from putting foith his best effoils
tow aids attaining still greater success.
"It Is part of the business of jou
teacheis," he said, "to teach your chil
dren to fall, because eveiy man and
woman must fall In this life and be
cause success is genet ally the dliect
result of fnlliue. I want you to always
lemember that there aie undiscoveied
continents of character In every child
nnd that It Is for ou to teach him to
be the Columbus of his o n soul."
A Ciuel Wny.
Teiichets, he said, sometimes have a
ciuel way of exposing a child's failure
to him, so that all his hope for better
lesuits in the futuie is crushed out. A
most impoitant result of failuie very
often, he said, Is the diiecting of men
and women Into those channels of ac
tivity for which they are best fitted.
Superintendent F. L Jones gave a
most illuminating nnd instructive ad
diess on the Monroe doctiine. immedi
ately following Rev. Mr. Hulley. He
described at somo lenstli the alliance
known as "The Holy Alliance," formed
by a number of the great world powers
in Vienna in 1S15, which had for its
icnl puipose the assisting of one nation
by the others In case of internal revo
lution. He told how the count! ies
which were patties ta this alliance de
cided in JSJ.2 to come to the assistance
ot Spain in totalling her South Ameri
can colonies, which had rebelled and
had established themsehes as inde
pendent lepubllcs.
This led to the pronouncement of the
Monroe doctiine by Piesldent Monroe
in his message sent to congress in 182.1,
in which he deelaied that any attempt
on the pait of any foreign nation to
establish further dominion in the West
ern hemisphere could be considered ns
nothing more than nn nit hostile to the
bc-t interests of the United States nnd
would be so consideied by the United
States government.
He then tool: up at length the v.ui
ous instances in which this doctrine has
been in uked from the time of the
signing of tho Clayton-Bulwer treaty
with Gie.it Biitniu down to Piesident
Cleveland's ultimatum to Great Brit
ain In 1S14, whli h startled the woilcl
because of its audacity, but whkh
tamed the Riltlsh lion completely.
Monroe Doctrine.
Mi. Jones laid csptclnl emphasis on
the fact that it Is the Monroe doctrine
and not the Monroe law. Any attempt
to i educe the doetilne to a law, ho said,
would almost completely rob it of Its
usptulness, because then It would not
be subject to the clastic inteipretation
which inn be glen it in its present
toim. Superintendent Jones gave the
second of his lectin cs on the develop
ment of national life along natural lines
at the morning session.
Supeilntendent V.r. W. Stetson gnvc
two moio of his inspiring talks yester
day, speaking on "One Phase of a
Tent'liei's Pieparatlon," at the morn
ing se.sblon, and on "The Emotions as a
Kaetor In Education," In tho atternoon.
In the last mentioned nddtess he point
ed out the wonderful Influence which
the teacher can have upon tho lives of
her pupils If he or she speaks to them
and reads to them In an cxpiesslve,
genuine way. Ho once more indulged
his hobby, which is tho pleading lor a
moio simple coiuse of study In the pub
lic schools.
Mls.s Arnold gave a delightful talk on
nuts and nut-beailng trees, at the
morning session. The entertainment
offered Included two splendid baritone
polos by Prof. John T. W,itkins, and a
iccltation by Miss Saiah Price, of Tay
lor. Tho annual meeting of tho dliectors"
association was held in court loom No,
'.', beginning ut 10 o'clock In the morn
ing. Jnmes P, McAndiows, the presi
dent, was unable to be pieseut, and
Thomas Johns, of Olyphnnt, presided
In his plnce. The principal teatuio of
the morning session was a general dis
cussion of the compuliory education
law, read by William Repp, of Old
Forge.
Law Was Rend.
The law wns read and Its meaning
nnd intent explained by 'Squire Cum
mlngs, of Olyphaut.
Superintendent Jones explained at
length tho system of the consolidation
of township schools, which is In oper
ation In his home state of Indiana, nnd
which has been so successful there, in
btead of a number of schools, each
township hns one central graded school
running from tho primary grades up to

which enn bo thus secured nrc fur
superior to any which could otherwise
be offcted.
Miss Julia K, Rogers gave an Inter
esting ttillc nn Just what nature study
means, nt the afternoon session, nnd
was followed by Superintendent Stet
son, who talked on the relation of the
community to the school. The resolu
tions committee then piesentcd u, series
of resolutions, which weie unanimously
adopted.
These resolutions thank Representa
tive Edward James for Introducing and
securing tho passage of a bill legalizing
the directors' association and appro
priating funds to pay Its expenses:
commend Superintendent Taylor for the
effort ho Is making to enforce the com
pulsory education law; provide for the

Dofcnso in the Thornton Case Is
Now Being Heard.
The delense in the Thornton insur
ance case was opened yesterday. At
torney M. J. Martin in the opening ad
drpss laid particular stress upon the
allegation that the fire at the Thorn
ton home was of Incendiary origin. He
declared that evidence would be pio
duicd to show that the flic was the
culmination of a carefully designed
plan to deft. aid the insurance com
panies. The fact that the lire occurred
one day after the policies weie taken
out; that, as the defense will tiy to
prove, the goods weie insm cd for much
more than their value, and that the
lire occurred In a new homo in which
the family had not yet taken up their
icsldence, weie pointed out by Mr.
Martin to be incidents corroborative
of the at son allegation. Mr. Mnrtfh
also dwelt at length on the alleged
failuie of Thornton to cue for the
goods saved from the tire after he had
been given possession of them by tho
Insurance adjustors.
A motion for a non-suit, on tho
ground that the plaintiff had failed to
observe the lequlrements of the policy
regarding the separating of the damag
ed from the undamaged goods, was re
fused by Judge Aichbald. The plain
tiff claims he wns pievented from doing
this by tho company's agents. Judge
Archbald decided thot this ralbed a
question for tho Jury.
J, M. Hoban the local agent of the
companies who wmte the two $3,000
policies, and James M. Hemmywny, of
Now Haven, Conn., ono of the Insur
ance adjustors, wero examined for the
defense, Mr, Hoban tiled to make It
appear that the Thornton's Induced
him to wrlto the policies without his
first having made nn Inventory of tho
goods; that he Intended to confirm their
claims as to the value of Urn goods
tho next day, after tho goods would
be moved to the new home, and that
In tho Interim tho flie occuned,
Mr. Hominyway'.s testimony bore
mainly on the Thorntons' alleged fail
ure to take erne of the goods of tor tho
lire.

UEPERKRANZ MINTRELS.
Greeted by a Large and Enthusi
astic Audience in Their Hall
Last Night.
Music is the strong featuie of the
Liederkranz minstrels, as presented nt
their hall on Lackawanna aenue, last
night, befoie an audience that was very
demonstrative in its evidence of appie
ciation of the work of the young min
strel men on the stage.
It was an niiny and navy minstiel,
and when the cuitaln went ud it le
velled a gioup of thirty-five men in the
uniform of the -wuiou3 branches of tho
army and navy service, pai t of the
company beiii'-r in whito and pait in
black face. The stage was draped in
red, white and blue bunting, and at tho
rear of the stage were two Inigc Ameii
c.'Ui flags done in red, white and blue
Incandescent lights. The stage plctuie
as the curtain arose was inspiring and
pictuiesque.
The opening chorus was a medley of
military and p itriotie selections, sung
by the entire coinp-iny and accompanied
by the Lawienco orchcstia. Then c.imo
an overtuie, followed by a coon song
by Fred Eans, "Fare Thee Well,
Honey, F.ue Thee Well," which was
exceedingly well done. Fied Softly sang
"V en I Hold Youi Hand in Mine," In
:i way that quite captivated the audi
ence, and Fied Hays made a. lilt with
his "Lucy, My Lucy Lu."
"The Sentinel Asleep" was sung by
Chailes AVeuzel, who posscsres a fine
baritone voice, and then the Lieder
kranz quartette, composed of Walter
Lingo, Fied Pulaski, Phil Martin ami
Fred Kvans, sang so well that the audi
ence insisted upon having .mother se
lection fiom them. One of tho best ef
forts of the evening was the bass solo,
"Uniavol the Skein," by Fred "Welnss.
The toon sont'S, "You Needn't Come
Home" and "Don't You Never Take Xo
Ten Cent Diink on Me," sung by Phil
Martin and Will Emttich, respectively,
weie features of the minstrels. "Tho
Song of the Sword," by Louis Conrad,
nnd "King of the Winds," by Fied
Pulaski, bass solos, weie sung In a way
that evoked warm applause.
Tho flnnle wnt "Marching to the
Music of the Band," by the company,
Fred Welnss and Will Kmeiieh singing
the solo parts.
Vegetables were the favoiite offerings
to the artists of the evening. After
Fred Softly hid sung "When I Hold
Your Hand In Mine," in a way that
would have dono credit to a ptotes
slonal, a bunch of turnips, a gaily dec
orated head of cabbage mid a pumpkin
wero passed over tho footlights to him
by his fi lends. Charles Wenzel, who
sang "Tho Sentinel Asleep," received
three heads of cabbago auanged in tho
lonn of n pawnbiokcr'h sign. Tho other
perfoimers were icmembercd In like
manner.
J. D. Ferber was Interlocutor, In the
uniform of an admiral, mid was tho
