minutes play by Winship for the Forest Citys. The
Woodfords secured the next in one minute, Bailey
sending the ball through the goal the top of

Valuable Curiosity.

A specimen of blue clay, containing rough
uncut diamond, from the great Kimberly mine
in South Africa, can be seen in the window OF
Garter Brothers jewelry store. The stone has
never been out of the place in which it lies;
and possibly others may be hidden in the clay
which has the appearance and hardness of
rock. If biologists can be believed the dia-
mond has probably lain in the clay at least
one million years, and people who are fond of
diamonds cannot fail to be interested 10 this
specimen which is not often seen in its native

How Webster Defended Himself

Mr.. Webster, in April 1916, made
some scathing remarks in the senate
on a resolution of the house, calling
for an account of his disbursements Of
the secret service fund This fund, he
exclaimed, could not be expended by
direction of the president, and he
asserted in conclusion that all dccla-
rations, averments, statements, or in
situations made anywhere, or by any
body, which imputed peryersion, mis-
application, or waste of the public funds,
as committed or made by him while
secretary Of state, were utterly ground
less and false. Whoever charged him
with having misapplied the public fund
while in the state department had
either seen the papers or had, in some
other way, obtained knowledge upon
the subject, or he had not. If he had
seen no papers, or had no knowledge,
then his imputations were purely wan
ton and slanderous. Ii he had seen tho
! papers, or had any knowledge, then he
would state what he kuew-if he knew
any thing-which would sustain his
charge. Silence, under such circum-
stances, was conclusive that he knew
sothng, because he was under no
obligation of secrecy, and in absence
on all other proof he would of course
Of all tell he knew, if lie knew any
thing which would in the slightest
degree bear him out The charge
therefore, was made in utter igno-
ancc of any facts to support it, or,
else with a knowledge that the facts
which did exist would, if made known,
entirely disproye it. AS to the source
of this miserable yituporation, he had
nothing to say. He was afraid he
should be thought to have paid too
much attention to it already. Sir
said Mr.. Webster, Il leave the author
of these ISLANDERS where he is; leave
him in the worst company ! know Of
in this world leave him with him
self. " Mr.. Jarnagin then desired to
withdraw his resolution, which was
not allowed and the resolution was
rejected by the large vote of "A to
