GIRAFFES IN CENTRAL AFRICA.
Herd of Them Found in the Marisnba
District by a Hunter.

From time to time it has been
rumored that giraffes existed in Brit
ish Central Africa, on the Loangwa
River, but, although that river valley
has been frequently visited since the
last ten years by Europeans, no au-
thentfc Information on the point has
ever been obtained. Last month, how
ever, a giraffe was shot on the east
bank Of the Loangwa in the Marimba
district, by a European prospector, and
its skin Gncomplete) sent in to Cap
tain Chichester. The hinder half OF
the skin is being sent to the British
Museum, and it is hoped that a com
plete specimen may now be obtained.
The existence of giraffes in Marin
ba is remarkable; the area in which
they are found is extremely restricted,
and their number appears to be very
few. The one shot, however, was in
a herd of about thirty-five. The near
est country north of Marimba in which
giraffes are known to exist is north Of
Mareres, where the Elton-CotteiIl ex-
petition met with them (many years
ago.. To the south Matabeleland is
the nearest giraffe country.-British
Central Africa Gazette.

London, Oct. There was almost a
complete dearth Of news from south
Africa Friday night. The few ais
patches received upon military move
ments at various points tend to confirm
the belief that President Kruger will
restrain any forward movement by the
beers, unless they are fired upon or war
is actually declared. 1t is now practi-
cally certain that parliament will meet
on Oct. II. The Daily News asserts
that an army corps will be modified
today, and a dispatch from Mafeking
announces that Commandant Cronje f
the boer forces has been promoted to
the rank of general and is massing *
thousand beers, with artillery, near
Ramathlabama, north of Mafeking

THE STORM.
The Heaviest Fall of Snow IN
Several Years.

The new wear was ushered in with one
of the best snow storms that has visited
this section in the last three years, and
to say that it was welcome would not
half express the JOY among the ranchers
and mill men.
The fall in this valley and Carson Val
ley amounted to If inches on the level.
Monday night the wind took a hand in
the matter and piled the snow in great
drifts which fills the canyons in the
mountains and assures water for next
summer.
benefit to Carson Valley alone would
reach 100000, as it assures an abundance
of water which gives the ranchers conf
dcnce and means a large acreage that
will be planted.
Eight feet of snow is reported at the
Summit and this alone will keep the
logging camps in full blast next sum
mer.
Mr. Tucker of the Virginia City Water
Company reported Is inches of snow al

THB PuBLIU LYOEUM.
Lawyer Lewis's Timely Address-Ar.
Hayss's Apprehension.

There has been mush heated talk
here OF late among literary people of
forming q Lublie Lyceum in this city
with the view OF elevating the present
literary situation. This project, how
ever has not been all talk. but on the
contrary. judging the present situation
ths advocasors of this scheme have
been quite active.
About two weeks ago, the first circle
was formed at the st. Philips Church
end is progressing very well.
Thursday night, the 9th inst, Anoth-
er circle vas organized at the Leigh
st. NJ. K. Church with q membership
of forty members.
Mr.. j. Andrew Bowler wes elected
temporary chairman with Mr.. A. V.
| Norren, Secretary. After much dis
| cussion permanent organic alton was
effected to be known as that OF the
Citizens Lyoeum.
Lawyer George w. Lewis made
quite an instructive talk, during which
he explained the express purpose OF q
lyceum. He gave expression to the
hope OF the circle not allowing any one
during an address or discussion t.
drift into the lower or degrading ways
OF politics or strike back at any politi-
cal enemy.
I Things were progressing quite
smoothly and every one seemed Il
have assumed literary aspect unit
Mr.. James Ii. Hayes, who would doub
less meet great success in the forma
ton OF q business association, made
speech strictly in that direction dur
; ing which the audience seemed puz
led as to its own apprehension. Blu
Mr.. Hayes, however, must be cred
tied with calling the attention of thu
!. lyceum to quite an Important question
which I will not here mention.
It's q question involving much sig
nidcance and q great one for discus
sion, but then that the Lyceum, acting
in its capacity should not be found re
sponsible for its existence.
The effecting OF an organization wa
T accomplished save the board of Gov
