LAKE sHIRWA DISAPPEARS.
It is the Second of Livingstone's Lakes
to Dry Up Completely.

From the New 1orR sun
All maps of Africa for nearly half CEN
fury have shown an oval-shaped lake
little to the southeast of the large lake
Nyassa in the eastern part of the continent.
It has been known for forty-four years,
since Livingstone discovered it In 1853. as
Lake Shirwa.
1t was about thirty miles long and from
ten to fifteen miles wide. Many explorers
have seen 1t and described its shores, and
Its lands and their Journeys across it.
The event that has been expected for the
ma. twenty years. has come at last. Let
ters received from the missionaries in Brit
ish Central Africa say that the lake may
now be expunged from the maps. for Shlr-
wa exists no longer
The last vestige of the water surface
has disappeared. The bed of the lake is
little swampy at the places where the
larger streams emptied into Shirwa, and
here and there are spots that are SOFT,
though not wet enough to be Doggy. All
the rest is solid ground which is rapidly
becoming grass covered and is crossed by
the natives in all directions.
Through the center of the lake extended
a little chain of Islands. khist, Tongue and
others They now appear as range OF
hills rising a few hundred feet above the
general level.
where their cattle are grazing. Hundreds
paddle up and down the lake are now high
on the banks or are scattered over the for
mer lake bed:
LAX. Shirwa has succumbed to the pre-
vaiing alteration that has been observed
for many years in a large area of inner
Africa, and that has lowered and narrowed
the water surface of many of the lakes.
The meteorological causes which have in
duced this condition are not understood,
but the fact is plainly established that
many lakes are receiving less water than
they discharge or lose by evaporation.
There is evidence that within a compare
lively recent period Lake Shirwa covered
four or five times the area 1t has occupied
in the past twenty years. but the last
stages Of it's disappearance were unex-
pectedly rapid.
1t is worth noting that the first two of
the five important lakes revealed to the
world by Livingstone have entirely oisap-
peared In his first great journey he reach
ed the broad and placid expanse of Lake
Ngami, covering an area of 300 square
miles. Its place is now wholly occupied by
a pain covered with reeds and no vestiee
of water surface is to be seen.
Shirwa was the first important discovery
of his fourth journey, and soon afterward
he stood on the shores of the great Lake
Nyassa.

She Passed Away Very Suddenly
Monday Evening.

Monday Evening.
It is with much regret that we an
nounce the death of Mrs. Nancy
Perkins, wife of the late Ezekiel
Perkins, for a number of years
Waterman at the Southern ware
house in this city, which occurred at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ed.
lew, on North Boundarystreet Mon
day evening about s O'Clock.
Mrs. Perkins had been in bad
health for several months, but did
not take her bed until a few days
ago. She was taken worse Sunday
| night, but vas not thought to be
! dangerously ill, and sent her daugh-
| ter, Mrs. Henry Grady, word a very
| short time before her death, that she
| was feeling much better. After that
she Immediately grew worse and
died very suddenly.
Mrs. Perkins was a good woman,
! a kind and affectionate mother, and
her death will aus widespread re-
greet in the community where she
lived and was best known.
She was a kind neighbor, and in
' sickness or death was always on
hand, ready and willing to do any
thing in her power to aid or com
fort those in distress, and as a nurs
had few equals. Her many deeds
of kindness and gentle words of con
ISOLATION and good cheer in time o.
distress will long live in the minds
and hearts of her neighbors, who
feel that her place can never be
filled.
Mrs. Perkins was about so years
old and had lived in or neal The
neighborhood in which she died fol
more than 35 years and was there
fore well-known by everybody il
that locality.
She leaves one son, Mr.. Dav'
Perkins and two daughters, Mr.
Maggie Tew and Mrs. Claudio
Grady, and to these the ARGUS ex
tends its sincere sympathy.

POOR JESSE IN LIMBO.
He Has Got To Work For Thirty
Days Without a Drop
Of Booze.

Jesse Hales, the one-legged negro,
will not be with US again for 80 days
or more, and his familiar face will
be missed-at the City Hall.
The Mayor has decided to give
him 80 days work-the first he has
had for some time-and Sheriff
Stevens has kindly consented TO
furnish him with three square meals
a day-pork and peas.
But we are somewhat sorry for
Jesse-for he has been used to a
toddy, occasionally, and thus far no
one has entered into a contract to
furnish this.
Poor Jesse! He seems TO be in
hard luck.
It is said by some-who are ia
miliar with Jesse-that he can kill
more corn "licker' in the same
length of time, and do o sweat
ing and talk louder than any two
negroes in Goldsboro-since the
death of the famous Dan Hicks.
But the thing that is worrying
| Sheriff Stevens is, where to get {
one-legged striped suit to dress Jesse
| up in.
The Sheriff says that hecould have
; one of the legs cut off of one of thu
suits he has in hand, but that Jess
is only going to board with hin
| about a month and it won't pay.
We think this is the best thing tt
do, for Jessie may want to secure
board for the winter-at any rate i
won't hurt to be in readiness.

few years, an important element in

owners and purchasers did their owl

seldom a transaction which is MOI

indispensable.

A SAD DEATH.
Mrs. Frank Beaman p S q
Away Very Suddenly at Her
Home Thursday Night.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
It is with a feeling of deep regret
that we chronicle the sudden death
of Mrs. Suzan A. Beaman, wife of
MI. Frank Beaman, which occurred
at her home in the northern part of
the city last night about y O'Clock.
Mrs. Beaman and her three chill
dren had been on a visit to relatives
and friends in Wake county, her old
home, and had just returned home
yesterday afternoon.
She retired last night in her usual
health and got up a few minutes before
Il O'Clock to- get a drink of water.
MIR Beaman and his wife were oc-
cupying separate beds in the same
! room, owing to the fact that they
had a very sick child with fever and
Mrs. Beaman was sleeping with the
child in order to give it attention
during the night.
She passed by the bed, occupied
| by her husband, and stopped down
and fondly kissed him, then went to
her own bed and again retired. III a
few minutes Mr.. Beaman heard her
making a strange noise and reached
her bedside to find her dying. She
expired Immediately before medical
aid could be summoned.
Mrs. Beaman had been in d~eclining
health for sometime, and although
], her death was sad and sudden, il
was not altogether unexpected.
She was So years ofage, and leaves
three small children and a devoted
husband to mourn her sad demise.
1t is indeed sad for these little ones
to be left in this world of sorrow, t.
battle with the obstacles that come
along in life's journey without the
comforting words Of encouragement
and tender love Of mother-th'
truest, fondest love known to tn.
world-but God know bestand doetl
all things well, and we direct then
to Him for comfort and consolation
in this their sad hour Of affection.
