Gen. Miles Has No Soreness Ovar the fer-
sythe Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ls-The friends OF
Gen Miles says that he Is not placed in
an embarrassing position by the action
OF Gen. SchofeId and the secretary OF
war ia their refusing TO approve his find
ings In the case OF Col. Forsytbe. They
say that Gen. Miles expressed his opin-
ion as soldier and as a military judge
upon the facts before him. He does not
consider 1t a personal affront To himself
that this finding Is not approved by the
higher authorities. II he had had any
personal feeling against Col. Forsythe
then 1t would have been different, and he
would have felt the adverse decision OF
the secretary of war. There are two
opinions at the capital concern
Ing this case There l. no one here
In army circles who thinks that Col
Forsythe erred In a serious sense. The
placing OF the troops was subject for
criticism but not for censure. There IL
no one here who thinks that the colonel
should be blamed for the accidental kill
ing of the women and children. 1t Is
understood that Gen. Miles condemna-
tlon of Col Forsythe is based entirely
upon his opinion concerning his military
capacity.

Reunion at oongress Lake.

The first annual reunion of the descend
ants of David and Charles Smith (de-
ceased) was held on September 18th, at
the beautiful picnic grounds at Congress
Lake, owned by Chas. Sliker, the genial
landlord Of that place. The descendants
to the number of one hundred and FIVE,
spent the day in social chats on various
topics. A few short addresses were made
by the older members, giving glowing
description of their trials and privations
when this county was new, when the
sickle was used to cut the grain, and when
the fail was in common use. The an
nouncement being made that dinner was
ready caused us all to smile; and let here
remark that no words of mine, even my
pen, can not record the praise the ladies
deserve for the many well filled baskets
which weighed down the stout tables that
were provided for that purpose. After
all had partaken of the bountiful repast
an organization was effected by the cleo
ton of S. b. Weary, of Akron, a. pres
| dent; John p. Smith vice president; and
the writer of this account as secretary
and VIM. w. Smith as treasurer. II was
decided by unanimous vote TO mee
again at the same place on the third Sat
urday of August, 1892, when history will
be given by the historian, David b. Myers
OF Summit county.

The Mythology of Evil.

In his curious study Of the physiology
of Evil" DR.. 3. W. Richardson declares
that the man of science finds two natural
causes of evil in Misunderstanding and
early environment. The operation Of these
causes is made conspicuous in a novel in
vestigatiOn carried out by Professor Dug
dale, of New York, who has been able to
trace one criminal family back TO the set
tlement of its first members in America
He has found that from this parent stock
has sprung 1900 descendants. The lives
of 100 Of these have been closely followed
by Professor Dugdale, the result Of the in
vestigatOu showing that not one of the
700 had escaped the contamination of evil
or its consequences. His researches also
show that the crimes Of this one family
have, during the last seventy-Gve years,
cost the state of New York 81, 100000.
Those who are born bad, however, are
not always incura5le. Mr.. Isaac Ashe,
president OF the Central Criminal asylum,
Dublin, Ireland, has suggested that in
herited tendencies TO crime can be treated
in the young by teaching useful occupa-
tions, which will call into play the facul-
ties exercised in criminal acts. Thus the
child of clever forger may be educated
into an honest craftsman; so may the
children of several generations of pick
pockets be taught clever handiwork. such
| as Matchmaking or other work requiring
fingers Unusually deft in their movements.

B1ATHDAY ANNIVERSARY.
A Very Enjoyable Event Near Malver

A Very Enjoyable Event Near Malvern
on Thursday Last.
The beautiful home of Mr.. Paul Geiger,
who lives two miles north of Malvern, was
the scene of a very pleasant affair on last
Thursday, the 18th. 1t was the celebration
of the Goth birthday anniversary of his es.
teemed wife. For several days her chill.
dren, who are all married, but live in the
immediate vicinity, had a surprise in store
for her, the father having a share in il,
and it proved a complete surprise. The
families came one by one as they found it
convenient, and not until the third fam
lily arrived did she take the hint. She was
soon master of her feelings, welcomed all
and truly enjoyed the event. 1t was not
intended for a large gathering, only the
immediate children, grandchildren and u
few of the nearest kin were invited. BY
noon about fifty had gathered. Dinner
hour came, and when we were called to
the table we found II groaning under the
weight of the choicest delicacies of the sea.
son so that the guests could not help but
soon have their appetites well satisfied.
Dinner over, second surprise was in
store for Mother Geicer. While a few of
the friends entertained her in the parlor,
some of the others spread out second
table on the rear porch, on which they
placed gold-rmmed china dinner set of
| one hundred and two pieces, fur.
nished by the father and children,
and also a fine picture album by
her Canton friends. Mother and father
Geiger we're then brought out and seated
by the table when the pastor RevsA. Con
ser informed her of the real object Of his
gathering and with few appropriate and
spicy remarks presented the gifts, In re-
turn Mrs. Geiger expressed her heartfelt
thanks for the unexpected but much ap
preciated gifts. Mrs. Geiger is not only
noted for her industry, but for her deVo
ton. She has reared a highly respected
family with Christian influence, She /!
an active and influential worker in the
Reformed Church at Malvern. All who
were present spent social and delightful
time, and as the departed from this happ!
home they expressed the wish that thi
devoted couple might be spared by Provi
dence for years TO como to exort Ihei

DR.. Muller has been in Canton four

was not correct. He says he was not the

The Greatest of all Gifts.

There is no gift to be compared with
health. None realizs this like the sufferer
from some chronic or long standing dis
ease. To such the gift of renewed health
is priceless. Aud yet it is within the reach
of all such sufferers. The great specialist
in the cure of all forms of nervous and
chronic diseases, DR.. Greene of IS w. 14th
street, New York, who has long stood at
the head of the profession, has decided to
give consultation and advice hereafter
free. His medicines are all purely vege-
table and harmless, and his success In
curing diseases Is unequaled. His wonder
full discovery for the nerves, DIR. Greene's
Nervura, is probably the greatest medical
discovery of the age. Remember, sufferer
that you can write him description of
your case and he will return a carefully
considered letter, fully explaining your
disease, giving advice, etc, without charge
of any kind. Send for his symptom blank
to fill out, and follow his advice II you
want TO be cured.

Motion of the Stars.

The term fixed" applied to the stars, is
q mistake, for it is now known that there
is not fixed star in the heavens, and prob
ably no such condition as absolute rest in
the universe. All the stars are in motion,
and some of them are moving at the rate
Of 250000 miles an hour, or more than
thrice the velocity of our earth on its orbit.
1t might be thought that this constant mo-
tion would produce continual changes in
the stellar relations and alter the face of
the heavens every few years.
But the vast distances at which the stars
are set from us destroy the visual aspect Of
their motion and preserve the unchanging
aspect of the heavens. None Of the con-
stellations have suffered a dislocation in
5000 years. Sirius, Arcturus and the PIE
iades are still in their places. Although
the eighty-one stars in Orion have ever
been in motion; each without relation to
any other, the mighty figure is rs it ap-
peared to the man of UZ forty centuries
ago.--New York Telegram.
