NICHOLAS j. WEAVER

this remarkable freebooter lived by
virtual piracy when he circumnavigat-
ed the earth with his yacht Norma Ave
or six years ago. Starting originally
with the novel idea of taking such
writer's as Kipling and Frank r. Stock
ton on visit to remote corners of the
world and having them write a month
ly magazine of travel, six months after
sailing the New York company got
weary of meeting his drafts and went
out of existence.
Nothing daunted, Weaver kept
bravely on his way, and for three
years managed to keep not only him
self afloat, but a yacht, a sailing mas
ter, a mate, eight sailors, steward
and a cook. Quite goodly company
to be supported by the wits of one
man! For Weaver had nothing else
to draw on, and yet contrived to con-
tinue as far as New Zealand, via Eu-
rope and Asia, simply by means of the
Experimentation drafts and so on
he committed at various ports alonl

New York few months ago and fed
to South Africa before his arrest could
be negotiated, was sort OF buccaneer
even before meeting with Commodore
Weaver.

A $50 Beetle.

In Central America the most re-
markable gold beetles in the world are
found. The head and wing cases are
brilliantly polished with luster as Of
gold itself. To sight and touch they
have all the seeming of metal Oddly
enough, another species from the same
region has the appearance of being
wrought in solid silver freshly burn
ished. These gold and silver beetles
have market value. They are worth

Ticket Brokers Quit Business.

Denver ticket brokers have been
put out of business by the re.
fusal of the State Supreme Court to
grant a supersedeas in the case known
as the Dixon injunction. Yesterday
was largely spent by the Denver bro.
kers in packing up, and by this even
ing they will have closed their places.
In the next two years Denver will have
no ticket scalping" excepting perhaps
sporadic cases of street trading, where
some one is willing to take a chance.
There We're eighteen legitimate firms
of ticket brokers in Denver, five at
Colorado Springs, two at Cripple
Creek, eight at Pueblo and two at
Trinidad. The Offices averaged employ
ment for about three people each, so
that seventy or more are let out of
employment.
II is hard to get at how much the
loss has been, but prominent broker
said yesterday that it has been fully
$4,000, and perhaps 100000.

party of the best known "mushers" of

of supplies, or post of departure, would
be established to await the most favor

if the expedition is success the party
will pass entirely across the explored
country, after taking observations and
securing information of a scientific
nature in the vicinity of the North
pole, and come out at Franz Josef
Land, which point other expeditions
made the base of supplies.

CHAPTER XIV.
On the Road to the Mines


Three days after the events mar
rated in the preceding chapter the
doors of the great prison of Petro-
paw .ovsk in st. Petersburg swung
open. The entrance was guarded by
a squadron of Cossacks, and a line
of prison vans stood near, ready to
move at the word of command with
the first detachment of political pris-
oners from among the hundreds ar
rested during the wholesale raids of
the police made by order of the min
lister.
OF the prisoners arrested in the
Nihiist rendezvous, four-Oraminsky
and Hersy being two-were SEN
fenced to death; the others, without
exception, to exile in Siberia for
terms ranging from ten years to life.
Kirshkin's fate alone was undecided.
He had made full confession of all
he knew, and it was determined to
keep him in St. Petersburg in hopes
that he could furnish the authorities
with still fuller details of the great
conspiracy.
Two by two, heavily shackled, the
prisoners moved slowly from the pris-
on and took their places in the wait.

w. C. T. U. CONVENTION.
Mrs. Stevens. President, Discusses the
Canteen Question.

Los Angeles, Calif-The first days
session of the thirty-second annual
convention of the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union was de-
voted to routine matters. In her an
nual address Mrs Lillian Stevens,
president, commented upon the va
rious legislative measures the organi-
cation is urging, both in state Legis-
latures and in the National Congress,
and spoke encouragingly of the future
growth of the temperance movement.
Mrs. Stevens reviewed the develop
ments Of the past year and saw much
reason for encouragement. Upon the
subject of reform bills introduced in
the last Congress and which were not
acted upon, she said:
"At mention of this there is before
you visions of petitions you have cir
culated, memories Of weary miles you
have traversed, rebuffs you have en-
dured, arguments you have presented,
delays and postponements. But no
memories of defeat, for you have
wrought with triumphant spirit and
that same spirit is ours to-day as we
look forward to the coming months"
Mrs. Stevens was positive in her at
titude against the re-establiShment Of
the army canteen. She read letters
from Secretary of War Taft and others,
showing that army officers, as a rule
claim there is more drunkenness
among enlisted men since the canteen
has been abolished than before. but
she insisted that no statistics have
been compiled to support their posi-
ton.
"The attempt to restore the canteen

the president. u confidently predict
that Congress will take no adverse
action the coming winter"
Mrs. Stevens touched on all the ques-
tions with which the temperance or
ganization concerns itself. including
Mormonism, the purity crusade, patent
medicines and the Gothenburg system
of regulating the liquor traffic which
she strongly opposed as compromise
with the traffic.

Affecting Farm ProbIems.-variou
Exhibition Features.
Denver.-Early next year, at the
close of January, the great farming in
terests of the state are going to take
possession of Denver and have week
of it-a carnival-a mass meeting, to
urge the cause of the producer of the
the wealth of the nation, a horse and
cattle show and some politics as it af-
fects agriculture, together with the
formation of large state organiza-
ton. January Goth to February
list, inclusive, will be known as
Farmers Week." At that mem
oratble time the National Live
Stock Association, once more united,
will meet, and the Western Live Stock
Association Show will be held here, to-
gether with the gathering of the Colo
yado farmers.
A meeting was held at the Chamber
-Nf Commerce yesterday. 1t was at
tended by E. NJ. Ammons, representing
the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grow
ers' Association. the Farmers lnstl-
tutes of Colorado and the State Agri-
cultural College; ]. A. Newcomb for
the State Grange; Frank Rauchefuss,
for the Beekeepers and Honey Pro-
ducers' Association; j. A. Valentine
and N. A. Benson for the local and
state florists associations; w. G. NJ.
Stone for the Colorado State Forestry
Association, and George E. Richardson.
secretary of the Colorado State Horti-
sultural Society.
Mr. Richardson, who was responsible
for the call, explained to the meeting
the aim and end sought. The farmers
OF Colorado were not well organized
for certain work. The farmer vote
numbered one-third of all and the farm
ers should have better representation
at the state house.
A general discussion followed in
which Farmers Week" in Denver
was upheld by everyone present as
good idea.
Mr.. Richardson explained that
number of societies connected directly
or indirectly with the farming inter-
ests had already set the dates of their
meetings, but whenever possible these
meetings would be altered to conform
with what might be done that day.
Mr.. Newcomb moved that it be the
sense of the meeting that all the socie-
ties kindred to the farmers interests
hold their conventions in Denver be-
ginning the third Monday in January
each year, this to be known as Farm
ers' Week." and that for 1906 the meet
ing cooperate in naming for Farmers
Week" the same dates as the Western
Live Stock Show, namely, January
29th. 30th, 31st and February LIST. This
was at once agreed to.
A committee on arrangements was
named as follows: E. NJ. Ammons,
chairman; j. A. Newcomb and George
E. Richardson.
The railroads will be asked to give
cheap rates for the week, less than
one-half. and Denver will have to guar
antee fund of about $4,000 before the
committee will consider the matter of
Farmers Week.; but no difficulty is
looked for in either direction.
Denver and all the civic and CONNER
cial bodies will be expected to join and
help.
1t has been proposed to build an ice
palace for one day as part of the car
nival entertainment.
