How Long MosauItoes Live.


 It Is not known Just how long mos oultoes can live, but their average life is much longer than is ordinarily sup posed. Thousands of them live through winter. hibernating or asleep In dark places in barns or house cellars. In eparsely settled localities, where they cannot dnd such places for shelter they live through the winter in hollow trees. in caves and holes under upturn- ed trees. and even though the tempera- ture may fall far below freezing they are not winter killed, but on the ap- proach of warm weather become active again. Mosquitoes are frequently seen aying about in the woods before the snow has wholly left the ground.-Wu- fam Lyman Underwood ln Popular Sci- ence Monthly.

Failure---Now There Is No
Yankee Line.

New York, March iii. p. Nor
gan's partner, Charles Steele, who is
one Of the chief directors of the In-
ternational Mercantile Marine COM
pany, sailed for England on the White
Star liner Oceanic, ostensibly on a
pleasure trip. There Is little doubt
however, that he is going abroad with
the definite purpose of making some
arrangement with the English share-
holders whereby the balance of pow
er in the International company,
which it is believed has passed into
English hands, may be brought back
to this country.
1t seems only too probable that an
other of j. P. Morgan's great COM
bines has failed, and that his estab-
lishnent of great American mercan-
tile marine, which was SO loudly
heralded two years ago as a master
stroke of finance, has proved short
Ilived.
The first intimation that a change
in ownership had come about was the
election of Bruce Ismay of the White
Star line, to succeed Clement A. Girls

1t seems that w. j. Pierre of Bel

NEGRO HELD In SLAVERY.
MISSISSIPPI MARSHAL RESCUES|
.COLORED MAN FROM CRUEL
BONDAGE. 1855

Jackson, Miss, March 11.-Shep
Griffin, a negro, is in Jail at Meridian,
having been taken from certain per-
sons who, it is charged held him in
forced servitude in Kemper county.
Threats have been made by the per-
sons who held the negro that they
would kill him and the officers who
made the arrest, likewise the wit
nesses.
Reputable white citizens of Kemper
county brought the case to the atten-
ton of the marshal, asserting that the
negro on one occasion had been
strapped and whipped for leaving the
premises of those who held him. So
severe was the beating that Griffin S
clothes stuck for several days to the
gashes made by the. lash.
Another time, it is alleged, he fled
into Neshoba county, where he was
recaptured. Pistols were pointed al
him, rope was placed around his
neck and fastened to the saddle OF
one of his captors and he was dragged
and driven into Kenper county.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, March 11.-A. H. Weber, a
Denver engineer, is endeavoring to in
terest Chicago financiers in scheme
to deepen the channel of the Missis-
sippi and make foods impossible.
Mr.. Weber says that the only way
to control the water Of the Mississippi
is to build dams of steel and cement
high enough to keep the water from
Overlooking.
Mr.. Weber has carefully studied the
river, and realizes that many of the
bridges would be miles in length. He
says that the land which would be
saved would make the greatest cotton
producing section in the world.
Millions have been spent in a vain
endeavor to keep the river at bay and
many lives are annually lost when the
flood season is at it's height Mr..
Weber Is certain his scheme will be
successful. .tr
