SATURDAY, DIAMONDS IN WASHINGTON. A Jeweler Who Says This is One of the Best Markets for Gems—Renting Bril- liants for a Night. “Yes,” said a fashion Teporter the other day, have some of the finest diamonds in the coun- try. Washington is a very wealthy city in this respect. Diamonds are the jewels most worn, and at an evening party you will see t™many ladies with thousands of dollars worth of the sparkling little gems upon thelr person. There are single diamonds worn by ladies here which are worth $3,000. Many very valuable gems are being bought, but some of the rarest are old stones that bave been in families for years. Some grand stones are brought here to Be cleaned and reset. or tohave a ple replaced.” “By whom are these ge owned? By natives or by the wealthy foil who visit the capital every winter,” asked the reporter. “tMany of the very {nest are owned by Wash- ington ladies. Some ot the wives of Senators and Members have fine diamonds. Mrs. Oates, the wife of Representative Oates, has some of the finest.

HOW THE HOSPITABLE GERMANS ENTERTAIN THEIL NUMEROUS GUESTS. It is like stepping into a German village to go to the Jahrmarkt at the Light Infantry armory. There are the peasants in their picturesque costumes, and on all sides can be heard the language of the Fatherland. The latter, per- haps, is not so much a novelty to the citizens of the District, as fortunately there is a large cle- ment of Germans, but itis a rare experience to be able, by walking or riding a few squares, to find yoursel! in a foreign country and amid the gayety of a rustic fete day. The hall Is so large that the idea of a country fair is well sustained, and visitors are able to move about freely with- ‘out the annoyance of the pressure from a great crowd. There are a great many things to be seen ‘and admired, and the ladies in their attractive ‘costumes are very ready to furnish all the information that is desired. You can geta Turkish rug or ten cents’ worth of candy, and between these two extremes there is a large variety of useful and ornamental articles, which in the calm, unbiased judgment which every one, according to the German fashion, is allowed to exercise, is considered desirable if not altogether aso- lutely necessary for the happiness ana comfort of every household. It isa peculiar seusation to every regular fair goer—and nearly every one with generous im uises may be said to come within this class—to be able to. walk round and round that great hall and yet have nothing but the argument of ‘the exe induce him to become a purchaser. ‘There are other things tosee and admire besides the artistic combinations of colors and the arra of attractive articies for sale. Here, for instance, is the Esquimaux hut—snow white, in a snow: white plain. It makes one shiver to took at it, but then you bend down and look through the low-arehéd doorway, and there you see a happy domestic scene, the family gathered about the hearth, so to speaic, and passing a social evening protected from the biting cold that howls with= out. It is an interesting insight into the habits aud modes of tiving of these people in the extreme northern latitudes, but att of the yearit Is like thinking of eating ie while out sleigh-riding, and so the visitor Passes on and exchanges smiles with the good- Batured men in the. Suabian band, whose round red faces bob up aud down in rhythm with the music. But even after the tour of in- spection is over the interest of the fair is not ex- sted, but the hospitable entertainers, kno ing that variety is the life of all diversion, have devised all kinds of interesting spectacles. For instance, last evening they had a young ladies’ drill. About thirty youn ladies dressed in red petticoats, black sacks, white vests and soldier caps Went through thé movements of the tac- tics manuel with great precision and of course with great grace. Every one was delighted with them and was liberal in applause. The members of the Socletie Francaise came to- gether and were escorted through the hall to the music of the “Marseillaise.” Col.

We, therefore, ask that the law be modified, so fat as contractors and material men are concerned, by making their liens date from the time notice of them is filed in the clerk’s office. Such a re- quirement would give foree and effect to the Tegistry system, which now, as to this lass of | liens, is a dead letter.

THE SALVATION ARMY. To-day the Salvation Army had some of its officers in the Police Court as prosecuting wit- nesses in the case of Laurence Grant, charged with profanity, disturbing religious worship and assault, Officers Simpson and Skidmore testifled to Grant using profane language after his arrest at Salvation Army hall for creating a disturbance. Mr. Shakelford, who kept the door, testified that when he got up to give a bit ofexperience Grant got up and asked where Duval was, and thereby created a disturbance. Miss Frank, or Capt. Frank, as she is known in the army, testified that Grant came in with & lighted cigar, and used profane language. When the defendant called for Mr. Duval wit ness went down to him and requested him to leave, when he took witness by the throat, John H. Barnes testified that while Mr. Shackelford was speaking the defendant inter. rupted him saying,‘that's enough of that Dosh,” and askel where is Cadet Duval. That com- menced the disturbance. COLLARED BY THE CAPTAIN. Mr. Grant testified in his own behalf that he Went there to see Duval, who, he understood had a warrant for him, and when he started out gt the meeting they refused to let him go out. There was a disturbance, and the captain came down and tore witness’ collar off, He admitted using profane language outside the ball. Jolin Kennedy testified that Grant started to p ont, when Miss Frank, the captain, took him by the collar, and when they reached the pave- ment some One called on the officers to arrest him, and he was pat under arrest. JUDGE SNELL ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. The court said he would treat the cases inside, the hall as one transaction. He had had many eases betore him for disturbing religions wor- ship, and had usually found that a small fine was sufficient to correct the evil. In this coun- Hy liberty of conscience as to worshipping God was a principle which had existed from the early settlement, and that principle, above all others, should Be respected.

THE AMOUNT NETTED BY THE HEBREW FAIR FOR THE CHAIRITY AND BUILDING FUND. The Hebrew fair, held at the National Rifles’ armory during the past week, was a most re- markable success, The object of the undertaking was to raise money for the Hebrew charity and building fund. The Hebrews always take care of their own poor, and such other needy as come to their notice, without much ostenta- tion, and are not in the habit of raisin, money in any public way. But they took hold of this with energy, every one contributed, and they made it a grand success, Contributions came in freely from the first, and when they were all collected they were displayed _in a manner to make them most attractive. Everything was arranged with excellent taste, so a8 to render the tair very attractive, and the attendance every evening was large—so large, indeed, that they sold out everything and closed out aday earlier than they expected, and made about $8,000 clear, as nearly as can be estimated at this time. On the last night the receipts irom the voting alone amounted to nearly two thousand dollars, Everything sold, in what- ever way, brought.a good price, and those voted for brought many times their value. The bicycle, valued at about 3100, was not won un- til $500 was spent in votes. A French doll, disposed of in the same ay, brought $118, All the other things voted for went off accord- ingly. Not a thing occurred to mar the perfect harmony and delight of the occasion, and the crowds every night enjoyed themseives im- meusely.

After enjoying an elaborate ban- ‘quet, accompanied by music,a very interost- ing Iterary program was taken up, and the exercises continued until after midnight.

Most of the subjects discussed were of a char- acter describing the main incidents in the career of the club during the past year. The Program was very uniquely and handsomely ee tinted es printed in carmine ink. The border ot four pages was com- posed of the names of all the members ot the ¢lub, one hundred and twenty-five in all, Mr. Jas.’S. Spinney, of New York, an honorary member of the club, was present, and when called upon made a most ‘delightful timpromptu speech, ‘The toasts were as follows: Annual address by the president John M.

Johnston; “Our Old Club Houses,” Max Hansman; “Our New Club House,” Jumes . Rice; “Touring,” John J.'Chickering; “Our arried Members,” S. P. Moses; “The Capital ” J. R. Littetl; “Our Roads,” Edson B. ur Bearded Pards,” Henry M. Schoole; “Presentation of Billiard’ Table,” Clarence Allen.
