The remarkable skill Of the Cenur>

five wish TO see the weaving OF
shawls. which are finely embroidered
In bright colors, writes Central
American traveller, we must go To Gran
ada. where only lately heavy shocks OIL
EARTHQUAKES drove the people rom
their homes and where we now ma
them busy repairing the cracked walls
and broken roofs We hnd them work
ing with weaving machines OF the
fashion We are accustomed 10 see IN
pictures of tools of past centuries. The
spindles are thrown from side 70 side
by the weaver's hands. and the woof Is
put In with treading motion OF the
feet. A little engine and approved
machinery would do the work OF hun
dreds OF these relies OF past genera
tons. Shawls are made oil SILK ana
worsted. and one has only to go TO
church on Sunday morning to see
display OF great variety OF them.
The most interesting OF the indus
tries found here il the fligree 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 FORM
cd into jewelry. Brooches weighing
from half an ounce 10 an ounce are
made with no hidden part OF base
metal. but all OF gold AS 1t came from
the mines in Chontales. The coyol
nut. inlaid with gold. and forming the
setting OF brooch or earrings Ia used
with fine advantage and Is often skill
fully carved. This nut has the APP
pearance OF ebony. and from IL rings
are also made. as they are OF turtle
shell. which Ii 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 lacking.
Filigree work In turned out In great
quantities. and one has only To walk
through the streets Of any OF the cities
To see who the patrons OF this industry
are. Nearly every woman met has
ornaments OF gold; brooches worn with
chains OF gold beads, finger rings, and
earrings, all in abundance. There Is
evidently great fondness for jewelry.
Among the masses OF the people these
native-made ornaments are very popu-
lar. but. as everywhere else. that
which Is foreign very often has the
preference among the upper classes,
though IL may not be so tasteful.
Partisan jewelry is sold on all hands.
Diamonds are the most popular OF the
precious stones and they meet IA ready
sale.

The Woman Orator who Stirs the Souls
of the farmers Alliance.

of the farmers Alliance.
No speaker in the series of women 8
conventions held in Washington last
spring left SO marked an impression as
Mrs. Mary E. Lease, of Kansas. She is a
natural orator and genuine reforner. Her
speeches abound with throbDing elo-
quence and rhetorical beauty as we'll as
moral intensity. She is the Joan of Arc
of the farmers and " Horkingmen OF Kansas
The Farmers Alliance admits women on
equal terms with men, and it already in
cluGes half million women ia its mem
bership.
Whatever of economic heresy there
may be in its platform, all Mrs. Leases
hearers are carried away with her elo-
quenCe. She has an army Of Kansas
women of like spirit at her back. The
Republican majority in Kansas was
thought invincibe, and yet the Farmers
Alliance last November elected five farmer
congressman out of seven, secured the
state legisl ,ture and replaced the world
famed United States Senator Ingalls, by
the then almost unknown farmer, Mr..
PETER. There is no doubt that Mrs. Lease
and the women of Kansas are in a large
measure responsible for the success OF the
agitation, Mrs. Lease is lawyer.
She asserts, that she soon discovered
that the farmers, who have always been the
most thoroughlytypical and representative
element of American citizenship, are tired
of old-tim party politics. They want a
new programme Of social politics for the
people. Mrs. Leases confidence in the
Farmers Alliance as a piece of permanent
machinery may be wholly misplaced, but
it is the spirit of awakening and of ener-
getic action behind the organization that
is significant. Mrs. Lease is certainly
one of the most remarkable women.

New York, Sept, 1,-Important davel-

tomorrow. The rumors that the Van
derbilts are to take control OF the proper
ty are received with serious consideration
in Wall street, where j. Pierepont
Morgan;s close relations with the Van
derbilts are duly appreciated. That the
Vanderbilts will hence forth control the
road seems certain. Should this come to
pass the St. Paul and Rock Island roads
would come into very close and friendly
relations with the great Vanderbilt system,
which would then far surpass 10 extent
any other railroad system Of the earth.
