Prize fights, shooting affrays and frequent burglaries lends that plaoe sort of a Jesse J. mes air which makes it noted throughout the State. Last night while the inhabitants were wrapi ed in slumber three business houses were entered by burglars who left no olew behind. The amount of property taken was not great but thiB was not the fault of the thieves who cabbaged every thing that oame in their way. he saloon of

L'om Bowers was robbed of two dollui cash and considerable tobacco. San Beam's saloon had evidently not don ich a thriving business yesterday a only one dollar and a lot of tobacco was btained there. Wilson MoClure's grocery fared the worst as several dollars in money was taken together with a valuable watch and a number of oi gars. The theivee turned things topsyturvy everywhere, but as yet no arrests have been made and really no suspicions exist.

Silver—Jewelry ll Plenty.

Americans are far famed relic hunters and, following a natural instinct, we determined to make the most of our opportunities for ferreting out interesting native work and antique remains of the aborigines of Nicaragua.

Ot half a dozeu cities of the country, with populations ranging from 10,000 to 40,000, each lias a distinct class of work, and what you will And at one place is made nowhere else. We started our hunt for curiosities at Rivas, less than twenty miles from the Pacific and west of thegmatok* as are all the larger settlements *be country. At an outlying town, to which we are guided, we stop before the bars that form the only gateway to the cactus hedge, and, taking down the top oues, enter the yard.

Our every step is contested by a couple of dogs that bark, but retreat before us. They are useful in bringing out to the doorway of the adobe house a young girl with Indian features, who calls off the canines aud salutes us with a "buenos dias." This young girl and her sister are known as the carvers of "jicaras," or chocolate enps, in a manner that no others can equal.

We enter the living room of the house, walking on the hard clay floor, and inquire If she has any of her work on hand. She goes to an adjoining room and brings forth a single sample, a gourd beautifully carved with forms of birds amid a mechanical design encircling it, the piece being cut off at one end to form a cup. We succeed in getting two or three jicaras, and if we want more we must order them and wait for weeks. The custom of working to order is so prevalent hero thnt it is almost impossible to find anything ready made of any kind.

Later on we visit another expert carver, but her work is of a different style, her designs being made up of shields of the various Central American countries, which she copies from silver pieces of money. They each do their work with the point of an old table knife, the latter carver being surrounded by a brood of rather dirty faced children, who play on the mud floor of her cane house. A third carver of fine work we find here uses only the cocoanut as his material, and this he adorns with birds and shields, afterward staining them black, which gives the whole a rich ebony appearance.

The jicara is the cup of the country for the mass of the people, and at nearly every house it is common to see a tree shaped stand within doors on which they hang. Every cup is carved in some fashion, but if you want fine carving you will be told to send to Rivas. If you give an order and have patience you cau have any design imitated by these carvers, whose work is quite handsome and artistic. There are others who carve rings and ornaments of the eoyol nut used in making jewelry, each workman confining himself to a separate branch.

But now we want a hammock. We can find none where the cups are made, though the plant which gives the liber needed for its manufacture grows here as readily as anywhere in the country, and we are met by the sight of hedges of it on all sides. We must go to Loon or Masaya, and there probably not find a single fine hammock ready to be sold. We must order them and wait for a month or so until Uhey are made. The Indians are the manufacturers of these hammocks, the easy chairs and lounges of the country in which midday siestas are taken.

On order any variety of design wi!l be worked, a hammock forming an American flag being a favorite. Wishing to purchase, we inquired from house to house where the weaving was iu progress, but could find no completed hammock. The Indians doing this work all live in cane houses with mud floors, and a fire for cooking on the ground, In true wigwam style. The labor is all done in the open air. What do they do when it rains? They rest but then tho dry season here lasts for six months, and during that time seldom a drop of rain falls and the Indians are never interrupted in their work.

If we wish to see the weaving of shawls, which are finely embroidered in bright colors, we must go to Granada, where only lately heavy shocks of earthquake drove the people from their homes and where we now find them busy repairing the cracked walls and broken tile roofs. We find them working with weaving machires of the fashion we are accustomed to see in pictures of tools of past centuries. The spindles are thrown from side to side by the. weaver's hands, and the woof is put in with a treading motion of the feet. A little engine and approved machinery would do the work of hundreds of these relics of past generations. Shawls are made of silk and worsted, and one has only to go to church on Sunday morning to see a display of a great variety of them.

The most interesting of the industries found here is the filigree work, turned out chiefly at Leon, Chinandega and Managua. This is done in gold and silver as the metal comes from the mines, and is of Venetian style. We have entered the shops of these plateros or silversmiths, and watched the delicate and rapid manipulation of the threads of metal while being formed into jewelry. Brooches weighing from half an ounce to an ounce are made with no hidden part of base metal but all of gold as it came from the mines in Chontales. The coyol nut, inlaid with gold, and forming the setting of a brooch or earrings is used with fine advantage and is often skillfully carved. This nut has the appearpnee of ebony, and from it rings are also made, as they are of turtle shell, which is very plentiful here on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.

The criticism first suggested is the poverty in the variety of designs in the articles manufactured. The capacity for {doing fine work Is shown, but, while the workers are able to copy satisfactorily, designs are lacWng. Mr. Braida has suggested that a school of design be started here to encourage such efforts, tbat the results of native labor may be suitable for exportation, which might easily be done, for labor is cheap.

Filigree work is turned out in great quantities, and one has only to waik through the streets of any of the cities to see who the patrons of this industry are. Nearly every woman met has ornaments of old, bi

fondness for jewelry. Among the masses of the people these native made ornaments are very popular, but, aa everywhere else, that which is foreign very often has the

moBt popular of the precious stones, and they meet a ready sale.—Charles E. Kern In Aew York Son.
