But as In thla csso the mother waa the executioner, fhere la not likely to be any Inquiry." ' The item regarding the execution of a bad boy by hla mother la Interesting from the fact that probably no legal no tion will be taken agalnat tha woman in tha case.

The official life of a gallant warrior, expiree at midnight tonight when, by reason of the fact that tomorrow la the sixty fourth anniversary Of hla birth, Lieut- Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding gen eral of the army, will be retired from active service. Totally different from Generals Scho fleld. Sherman ' and other of hla pre- decessors aa head of the United States Army aa regarda hla personality aa well aa- hla early training and aubsequent military career, It la not to be won dered at perhapa, that General Miles' retirement ahould evoke conflicting com menta from preas and public To find anything like a parallel of his case It is neressary to turn back tha pagea of American, history to tha career of Gen. Wlnneld Bcott a man of undoubted courage and ability aa a general, popu lar with hla friends, but who, at the aame time" made himself disliked In many quarters by his want of tact hla overbearing manner towards hla sub ordinates and hla Ill-advised political ambitions. It cannot be disputed that General Miles has a host of enemies and that they occupy "high positions In the army and In public Ufa At the aame time he haa many friends and defenders both In and out of the service. The sincere affection with which he Is regarded by many or those with whom his official poaltlon has brought him In contact haa been abundantly manifested . this week in outward evidences among hla associates or regret at hla departure. Z.eavea Splendid Xeoord. Whatever else may be said it cannot be denied that It la a splendid record that General Miles leaves upon the pages of ths department from which In a few hours he takes his final depar ture. From a nve-doiiar-a-week clerk' ship In a little dry gooda store and handicapped by the fact that he lacked a West Point training, he has worked his way step by step to the highest rank within the gift of the United States Army. Nelson A. Miles made hla greatest reputation, probably, as an Indian cam paigner. The ability to make success ful warfare on the red men waa pos- sioiy inherited. His ancestor, the Rev, John Myles, a welsh clergyman of Mas aachuaetta, waa not only militant the Potomac, with ana exception, up to the rurrender of Lee at Appomattox Courthouse. He waa wounded three times. Miles' full commission as major general waa given him In 1865. In the following year, the war having ended, he was mustered out of tha volunteer service. He had already received a commission as colonel In the Regular Army, tn command of the Fortieth In fantry. He was transferred to the Fifth Infantry March IS, 189. Miles' aptitude and ability for the pro fession of wsr had demonstrated them selves to his superior officers very esrly In the Civil War, and he encountered no opposition in his rapid advancement In later yeara bis opponents charged that he waa unable to conduct himself as gallantly In peace as In war, but the aame charge was made agalnat other high officers whenever It appeared that they were influenced by personal con aideratlona of politics and political am bition. General Miles la now very much "in tffe public eye." but the eyes of tha whole nation were fairly centered on him at one time in 1865. That was on ths occasion when Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, waa hla prisoner at Fortress Monroe. The bit terness of the feeling of the South sgalnst htm on account of that famous episode hss never been eradicated, and there are men In the South today who will never forgive him. Harried la 1871. Colonel Miles married In 1871 the daughter of Gen. W. T. Sherman, Miss Sherman's uncle, John Sherman of Ohio, being at that time Secretary of tha Treasury. It waa General Miles con nectlon with this family that led to ths allegation made by his enemies in later yeara that hla subsequent promotion in tha army waa due to the "Sherman in' fluence." After his marriage Miles was sta tioned on the plains. He made a great reputation In campaign against the In dians, his work being second only to that of General Custer in the opinion of some military men. It was during this period that he became acquainted with William F. Cody, "Buffalo BIH," and a strong friendship has existed between the two ever since. He was commissioned brigadier-gen eral In the United States Army in 1880.

It waa during that clerk- ahlp period that he first evinced a deep "'f L Interest In military mattera. Inspired to Itral.ya.r: a targe extent, probably, by tha proa pact of a' clash between the North and South on the slavery question. Miles began hla military career only after a controveray with the Governor of Massachusetts. He haa had many controversies since, some or which he has won, but he lost that first one with the Governor. Miles raised a company of troop in 1861 and expected to be come captain of It The Governor, how ever, declared that he waa too young to receive such a high commission. Began a Beputatlon. Miles was afterward commissioned Uuutenant-colonel of the Sixty-first New Tork Volunteeers, the commission dating from May 81, 1882. He began to make a reputation Immediately. He waa engaged In the battles of the Pen insula campaign, before Richmond and at Antletam. On the 80th of Septem ber. In the second year of the war, he Waa made colonel of hla regiment, al though only 22 yeara old. Colonel Miles fought In all of the battles of his regi ment In the oampalgn of the Army of general In command of the whole army. A son and daughter were born to Gen eral and Mrs. Miles.
