"The diamond mny be exhausted In lime nnd on an attraction It may grow has fabhlonable," explained a leading Jeweler to a Washington Star reporter, "but there is no indication of either of thce propositions being verified nt tho present time. Indeed diamonds aro to day plentler than they ever were, and consequently cheaper: but instead of i taitlng a back ground they aro still at tho front of the Jewelry business. It is wonderful how many are cut and sold and how the demand for them grows. They bear the same position today they did tOO years ago as an ornament. Other tones have their idgn for years or reasons, but tho diamond has never for a moment been dethroned. Tho three forms of cutting diamonds which prevailed hundreds of years ago tho brilliant, the rose and the table still prevail without tiny chango and there Is as much mystery und Ignorance about them as ever, for even at this day and time bclcntlsts and geologists aro not agreed as to their origin, though the majority opinion is that they aro of a vegetable origin. The carat in diamonds though for diamond grains, weighs but a, llttlo over threo and a quarter grains troy. Tho valuo of a diamond is in creased with tho square of the weight In carats. A two-carat stone Is four times the value of a one-carat stone and a three-carat nine times tho vnlue of a one-curat stone. This arrange ment goes on without limit, and if It Is remembered a very good idea can be had of the value of a stone by Its weight. It is weight In the first place and size in the next. The same calcu lation hardly applies to anything else that Is known of that is, where weight and size aro factoia." Sunday-School Lesson for May 14 Christ Betrayed amid Arrested, JOHN xvHi, 1-14. BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. INTRODUCTION. Tho address of Jesus, part of which was studied last week, was continued lit considerable length, occupying tho remainder of chapter fifteen and the whole of chap ter 16. In It advices were given to tho disciples designed to afford them com fort after thu Master's departure. Tho ofllco of the Holy Ghost wa3 set forth In clear terms, and further assurances were given on tho subject of prayer. Closing the address with a desire for tho peace of Ills followers, Jesus led them In a fervent prayer, which Is re corded In chanter seventeen, In which He asks for Himself tho glory Ho had before Incarnation, und for tho dis ciples and those who should afterwnrd bcllovo on Him, tho spirit of unity and of love. Thus closed tho most tender Interview of tho Lord with His chosen rtprestjntlve. GARDEN.--7he prayer was followed by the singing of n hymn (Mark, rtlv, iC), after which .Testis nnd His dls olp'.ts -.Mnt Into tho Mount of Olives. In passing from tbo city they crossed the llttlo brook Krdruu, on tho cast whish flowed through a valley of tho tamo name (Nehemlah, II, 15), probably olong tho oamo road traveled by Da vid ns he fled from Absalom. (II Sam uel, XV, 23.1 On tho sldn of Olivet toi a startler., or park, or orchard (verse 1) called Getb!eniati? (Matthew, xxvl, 36) f-Ignlfylng oil press, probably so named from the manufacture of oil from tho ollvip grown thero. This place was frequented by tho Saviour (versa 2) and was therefore well known to tho apostles, to Judas even, who was then with tho chief priests. John omits from his narrative -what the other evangelists record (Luke, xxll, 40-4G) tho senson of private prayer in which Jesus was in nn agony while His fol lowers slept, t Matthew, xxvl, 37-16.) MEETING. The three seasons of prayer and suffering ended. Jesus stood with tho eleven expecting what He knew must befall him through tho treachery of one whom He had called to bo an apostle. Guided by Judas (Acts 1:10), a. band of soldiers ap peared in the garden (verse 3), sent uy me cniei priests and Pharisees nnd commanded by ofllcers of the temple police, armed with swords and staves. To light up the way they bore lan terns and torches, although as has been shown by astronomical calculations, the season was of the full moon. It Is evident that they feared flight or resistance, else they would not have come In this manner. Elsewhere it Is stated that Judas advanced to kiss Jesus and received a merited rebuko (Luke xxll: 47-4S). Quickly appre hending the purpose of the soldiers, Jesus then stepped before them (verso 4), and, with amazing composure and courage, inquired whom they sought. ALARM. Promptly thercply came: "Jesus of Nazareth," and immediately Christ responded "I am He (verse 5). This was said in the presence of Judas, who was able to attest the truthfulness RETURN OF PEACE TO BE WELCOMED PROGRAMME OF THE BIO. PEACE JUBILEE. How the Enterpiisug Inhabitants of tho National Capital Intend to Uomraemerate the Achievements of American Valor on Land and Sea uuiniintttioii or tne canon's Kejoicmg. Special Corresporiderce of The Trlbuno Washington, May l'J. Atlanta, Chi cago and Philadelphia have had their peace Jubilees, but it remained fo"r Washington, the nation's capital, to await the signing and delivery of tho treaty re-establishing pi'ace between tha United States and Spain before celebrating tho victories of our army and navy over thoso of that monarchy, b which have been extended the as suranco ot liberty and enlightenment to millions of suffering people. This celebration, so appropriate in every way, will take place May 23, 21 and 23, nt a time when Washington, always the most beautiful city in the world, will bo at its loveliest; its leaf embowered streets and avenues un touched by summer sultriness and its great parks and reservations emerald clad, flower brilliant nnd blossom fla grant. A NOTABLE OCCASION. Enterprising' men and women are rivalling each other In an energetic and harmonious endeavor to make the occasion commensurate wlthl the grand theme. Every organization In tho District of Columbia is officially rep resented In tho same purpose, thous ands of dollars have been contributed to the fund necessary to make, tho ex penses nnd Uih president and his cab inet are supporting the project in every way possible. The army and navy will bo represented by all tho forces available, and the volunteer coldlery from all over the country will parti cipate. Governors and their staffs ftom far off Oregon and Utahand near by Delaware and Vlrglna will meet thoso ot Intervening and neighboring states and for those three days the nation's capital will bo the host, nnd a hospitable one. of tho nation's people. THE PROGRAMME. Tho opening day, May 23, will be ushered In with a national saluto from tho guns at Fort Meyer, Washington barracks, and the Detroit, Marblchead, Raleigh, Dolphin and other naval ves sels which are to bo ordered here dur ing tho celebration. At noon a saluto to tho Union of forty-live guns will 'jo fired, und at S o'clock thero will bo a parado of military and naval organi zations, which will be reviewed by President McICinley, tho members of his cabinet, the district commission ers and a host of the distinguished Americans from a reviewing stand oc cupying the center of a richly decor ated court of honor which will occupy the plaza fronting the cxecutlvo man sion, tne state war und navy building, the treasury building and tho depart ment of Justice between Fifteenth and Seventeenth stieet, on Pennsylvania avenue. The decorations of this court of tho statement. Tho immediate ef fect of theso words upon thoso to whom they wcro spoken was wonderful. Tbo appearance and tho majesty of tho calm Christ heaven In His look and peace on His lips wero overpowering in its inltuenco upon tho untutored soldiery, who may have thought thoy wero sent to apprehend some criminal. The foremost of them went backward, as if afraid of soma personal injury, and they all fell to tho ground. Viewed in any light this occurrence Is a strik ing testimony to the personal glory of Jesus, who was ever "full of grace nnd truth" (Matt. xxv:31). Augustine aptly remarks: "If He did this when about to bo Judged, what shall Ho do when He shall sit in Judgment? It Ho did this on the evo of death, what shall ho do when reigning." (Rev. vl:16). REQUEST. After the soldiers had risen, or, possibly, while they wero ly ing on the ground, Jesus repeated His question nnd received the same reply (verse 7). This is proof that Ho In tended to deliver Himself into the hands of His enemies (John, x"18), tc make a voluntary sacrifice for, had Ha been disposed, Ho might have escaped. Hut He would lay down His life alone (Tsa., 1x111:3), involving no other through any sense of personal devo tion. He would die, but He requested that tho disciples might live, that they might go their way unmolested (verso 8). This was necessary ns a fulfill ment of Scripture (verse 0), tho Master being required to protect His followers (John, xvll:12). It was also necessary to set Him properly before tho world. Had others died it would have been martyrdom, placing His death In tho samo list. If lie dies alone all tho af ter ages will behold Him as the Lamb slain and man-el at the deep slgnlfl- canco of His death. DEFENSE. Emboldened by tho self-surrender the ofllcers laid hands on Jesus (Mark, xlv:49), which aroused the spirit of defonso In His disciples (Luke, xxil'40). Peter with his usual impetuosity, drew his sword, there be ing but one other In the company (Lulw, xxll "33), suffered to bo brought doubtless for fhls purpose, nnd at ono blow struck off the ear of Malchus (verso 10), tho high priest's servant. In relating this Incident the other evan gelists omit Peter's name (Mark, xlv: 47). Cut Jesus ordered tho sword to bo sheathed, and healed the servant (Luke, xxtl:51), explaining at tho samo time to Peter that He could not refuse a death which the Father had appoint ed (verse 11), and that If He desired to escape It IIo might have legions of angels for defense (Matt, xxvl:53). Following these words Jesus reproved His enemies for coming against Him with such warlike demonstrations (Luke xxil:u2-53), when Ho had taught dally In tho temples nnd might havo been taken without resistance. ANNAS. Seeing that their Master was not disposed to protect Himself, the disciples fled (Matt, xxvl: 5G), and of honor will be beautiful and the en trances to It artistic to a superlative degree. FIREWORKS. At night President McKinley will hold a publics reception at the White J louse, and upon tho grounds south of tho latter sunoundlnc tho monu ment eteoted to the father of tho country, which has gtown so great, will be given a stupendous spectacular nnd neilal display by the Pain's Fire works company. The features of this display will be numerous and novel. Portraits of the president nnd famous heioes of the Spanish-American war v'.ll be shown, an American Hag 300 r?ct Jontf and sixty-five feet wide will 1' hung at nn altitude of 1,000 feet by liiillouns and on nn artificial lake now being constructed for tho purpose will bo repioduced tho stirring scenes of th victory of Admiral Dewey in Ma nila bay on May 1, a year ago. There will bo concerts by the United States Marine band and Haley's Wash ington band, an equally effective or ganization at the capital and the treas ury building, and ithey will ba given both of tho nights following. SECOND DAT. The second day, May 21, will be equally leplete with Interesting fea tures. At 2 o'clock In tho afternoon there will bo a parado of (lower-decorated private equipages. People of wealth and leisure are preparing to make this event a most notable one, and It will probably surpabs anything of tlu kind ever given in this country, and ilval strongly the annual flower fete at Nice. Following tho floral par ade will be a parade of civic organiza tions, followed by flower-decornted public conveyances, floral, patriotic, fraternal and tradesmen's tableau floats, business exhibits and public school children with floats showing the courses in manual training and domes tic pursuits. Tho spectacular and aerial fireworks at the Monument grounds will bo cquall as novel nj those of tho night before, and upon tha lake tho destruction of Cervera's fleet will bo reproduced. GRAND PAGEANT. The celebration will culminate on May 25 with memorable features. At 2 o'clock p. in. a historical pageant will move tlnough tho city. Thero will be thirteen divisions, each of which will be appropriate to tho epoch and the event which It is Intended to represent. The subjects of tha floats which aro now being constructed In tho most ap proved style of modern art will bo, in their order in tho pageant, as follows: "History," "Columbus nt tho Court of Spain," "Landing of Columbus," "The Ulrth of Our Flag,' "Washington Cross ing the Delaware," "Liberty and the Thirteen States," 'Terry on Lake Erie." "Tableau ot Mexican War," "Tho North and South," "War," "Vic lory." "Peace," "Uncle Sam's Nur sery." This parado will bo reviewed, as all other parades mentioned, by President McKinley In his court of honor. After it has parsed, thero will bo a mass meeting at tho cast front of the capital, presided over by President McKinley and addressed by prominent Americans on themes suggested by tho patriotic character of tho celebration. The fireworks display at night will exceed tho former exhibitions In point of btllllant und novel effects, nnd tho chargo up Sun Juan hill will bo reproduced. the soldiers bound Jesus nnd led Him away to tho city (verse 12). Ho was first brought before Annas, tho form er high priest (verso 13). The reason for this act can only bo conjectured It has been thought that tho palace was near to the place where Jesus was captured, and that it was desir able to dismiss tho soldiery as soon as possible It is more probable, howev er, that tho political influence of An nas and his advlco wero deemed Im portant. Ho was highly esteemed by tho Romans because of his opan parti sanship of tho foreigner nnd of his enormous wealth. Sudducenr. by faith ho was not troubled with any speclul convictions nor with Jowish fanatic ism, withal ho was a pleasant man, who might bo useful in conducting n matter that required tho approval ot the ecclesiastical and tho civil author ities. Tho arraignment of Jesus be fore Annas was highly congruous. CAIAPHAS. What transpired before Annas is unknown. The fact that Jesus was there is barely mentioned by John and passed over in silence by the other evangelists. Evidently He was not long detained, but was sent bound to Cataphas, tho actual high priest, son-in-law of Annas. There He was ex amined, tho record of which examina tion Is given by Matthew and Mark, and is not Included in today's lesson. Rut John recalls a statement made by Cataphas (John xl: 49-50), some months previously to show tho character of tho man. When the chief priests, alarmed at tho growing; popularity ot Jesus, gathered a council to determine what course should be pursued, Cata phas had boldly declared that Jesus ought to be put to death. This ho had done In his ofllclnl capacity (verse 11), giving weight to his words. It was, thetcfore, reasonnblo to expect that he would give speedy sentence when opportunity camo for him to sit In Judgment. REFLECTIONS. Tho student will find It prolltablo to conduct several lines of reflection upon the persons In this narrative as follows: (1) Judas, who had conspired with the enemies of Jesus through the night, who came leading the procession nnd made known hia Master with a kiss, (2) tho priests who through malice had long sought opportunity to destroy the innocent, (3) tho soldiers, emissaries of the Roman government, Instruments of priestly Intolerance, (4) the high priests, past and present, ono de bauched by wealthy tho other holding ofllce to condemn tho great high priest of our faith, (5) the disciples, ignorant and timid, ready to fight yet quick to lice, unable to comprehend Him whom they had followed, (0) Jesus, teaching, praying, Journeying, watching, be trayed, bound, led away, arraigned. What varied passions stirred in these hearts. Human weakness and sin aro set over against Divine wisdom and Indignation. The central figure in the group nppears most glorious ns the story advances (John 1: 11). REVELRIES The jubilee will close with Jubilee revelries, an event of a spectacular character, in the spacious Convention Hall, beginning about 9 o'clock the third and last night No person will be allowed upon the floor of tho hall unless in fancy or grotesque costume and unless unmasked. Upon a stage In the hall will bo given, prior to tho dancing piogrammo, the "King's Rev elries," tho king of tho jubilee having been previously received with nppro prlato ceremonies by his court and fol lowers. Tho revelries will be of a pleasing and somewhat unique charac ter, the scenic effects attending them particularly attractive and gorgeous in theme and execution. In addition to tho vast spaco for tho immediate par ticipants in the revelries, scats will be provided for ladles and gentlemen not in costume. Every effort will bo oxetted to make the Jubilee revelries an event surpassing any public enter tainment ewr conceived in Washing ton, and a most fitting and inspiring closing of the National Peace Jubilee. Interest In the celebration Is general all over the country, and appreciat ing this fact, the railroads have agreed to Issue tickets good for ten days at the rato of ono fare for the round trip from all points within a thousand miles of Washington. The celebration is in charge of n general committee, consisting of five representatives from each organized body in tho district and an executive committee consisting of one of these representatives and men and women ot prominence in local and national life. Tho olllcers of the general committee aro: P. If. Xtaymond, chairman; J. W. Soinerville, vice-chairman; E. O. Schnfer, treasurer; Barry Bulkley, sec retary. The officers of tho executive commlttco nre: W. S. Knox, chair man; R. H. Thayer, vice-chairman Carry Bulkley, secretary. Tho peace jubilee headquarters are In the busiest section of business 'Wash ington, In an appropriately decorated building, No. H1C F street, Northwest, and every Inquiry received thero, cither verbnl or written, Is at onco re. plied to by tho energetic and courteous forco in charge.
