A French centenarian has just com

that he would live forever. It is not
necessary to inquire whether this aged
person was in the full possession of his

the cow. A poetical editor says that it
is caused by kissing in the beydey of
youth.
The farm on which Abraham Lincoln
was born near Hodgeusville, Ky., has
been sold to David Grear, and will be
converted into a park. The farm should
be preserved as a park for many rea
sons, one of which is that it is the only
thing related to the place of the great

earted around for exhibition. The cabin
Lincoln was born in, the old oaken
bucket that hung in the well, and every
fence rail that was on the place when

MISSISSIPPI STATE NEWS
More Railroad Tax Malta.
Messrs. Calhoon A Ureen, attorney#
for the State revenue agent, have filed
suits against the Natchez. Jackson A
Columbus railroa<\ and the Yazoo A
Mississippi Valley railroad for the taxes
for the year 1SW8, aggregating ♦175,000.
The suit against the N., J. A C. is for
♦50,000, and the other for ♦125,000. these
l>eing in full of the claims for State,
county and municipal taxes assessed
against the railroad companies for the
year 1808. These suits are part and
parcel of the hack tux litigation against
the Illinois Central company and its
branches. Under the recent decisions
holding the railroads liable to pay taxes
the sheriffs of the various counties
through which the railroads run re
fused to make out and deliver to the
companies receipts for all taxes as has
been heretofore the custom of the
sheriffs, and in accordance with the
terms of the exemption act under which
the road claims exemption. This $175,
0(KI goes to swell the enormous sum for
which the revenue agent has been
suing.
Novel Daiimc? Salt.
A most unusual damage suit was tried
in the circuit court at Vaiden last week,
t ic jury failing to agree, resulting in a
mistrial. On April 0. 1898. D. W. Bacon
and his brother. J. A. Bacon, and the
latter's son. Willie, got into an alterca
tion with a young German named Sul
brieder. After a fisticuff fight re
volvers were resorted to. resulting in
the death of Sulbrieder and the wound
ing of Willie Bacon. April It! Mrs.
Sulbrieder filed suit for herself and
three little boys, demanding of the Ba
cons $80,000 damages for the loss of the
husband and father. In a few days
court convened and I). W. Bacon was
indicted for murder and Willie for
manslaughter. At the January special
term these indictments were quashed
because of alleged improper conduct
by an outsider who voluntarily ap
peared before the grand jury and in
sisted upon indictment.
The civil suit of Mrs. Sulbrieder came
on for trial last week, but the jury
failed to agree, and was discharged.
The counsel for the defendants took
the ground that the common law did
not countenance such action and that
the statute on the subject was intended
for accidental killings as by railroad
negligence, and did not cover felonious
homicides. Judge Stevens ruled that
the statute was broad enough, but ad
mitted that there was grave doubt
about it. The hung jury disappointed
both sides, who seemed anxious to have
the supreme court rule on the question
as to whether the statute covered the
case.

"I immediately went to Gen. Otis. *n
response to my inquiry he said: ' 1 believe
the insurgents ate thoroughly demoralised
They had considered Calumpit the
strongest position on their lines. It was
there that they had made their successful
stand against the Spaniards In 1M»'> Many
of their former trenches were still there,
not having been destroyed, and were used
by the Insurgents yesterday when the
Americans drove them out. I presume aft
er that defeat the Filipinos lost all confi

Ask Armistice Till May 1.
*' ‘The emissaries who have been here
came to ask for an armistice until May I.
when the Filipino congress, they said,
would convene and discuss the question
as to whether the natives of this island
favor a declaration of peace or a continu
ation of war
'■ I told them the only terms that would
lie accepted by the Americans would lie
unconditional surrender, with amnesty to
all insurgents bearing arms.

did not think the insurgents would agree
to this They said it was not consistent
with their idea of honor, and that if forced
to surrender th? peace thus procured would
not be permanent.

are only sparring for time in making this
request for an armistice. Further aggres
