age. The efficacy OF thejuice of these
vegetables was discovered in a novel
way. Thomas Warren, who resides on
the old turnpike road west of Geneva,
N. l., noticed one day that his hogs
appeared to be dazed
1t was found that George West and
William Mobiles, two itinerant farm
hands hired by Mr.. Warren recently,
mad been squeezing potatoes and tur.
nips up into mash, and after procur-
Ing all the extract therefrom threw the
remains OF the mash to the hogs. The
hogs evidently did not require much Of
the leftover essence to get on a good
jag All the week the swine have
appeared intoxicated, and Mr.. Warren
succeeded in getting at the cause only
after he found the two farmhands and
dozen chums hitting up keg of the
new essence Of frumenti" in the barn.
Mobiles was almost dazed by the
drink, while his partner was completely
''paralyzed." Warren managed to get
the information from the men that led
to the news of the wonderful proper
ties of potato juice and turnip juice as
Jag producer.
Mr.. Warren said: 81 tested the al.
legged merits of this mixture for my
self. A wineglassful gave me the sen.
sation of going up in a balloon. Ten
minutes afterward l became silly drunk
and it was three hours before regained
my normal self. 1t will be winner if
put on the market. The taste is not
agreeable, but if some sweet cordial is
added the drink could be made palat-
able. may, myself, start the manu-
facture of this new discovery. have
warned the boys not to drink LOO much
of this stuff, and not to feed any of the
leftover mash to the swine. If the
swine have the same sensations as did
they will be greatly disappointed in not
getting more mash"
Mr.. Warren is one of the farmers
who short time ago took measures to
stop the farm hands from tapping corn
silos and extracting the fermented
juice therefrom. Now that potato
turnip juice has been discovered as a
Jag producer, the farm help need not
come to town when they wish to dispel
the horrors of the blues. They have
the choice of two merited cordials.

Secretary Hay, he has had no late ad-

Mr. Farnham also said he brought no
news to the State Department concern
ing affairs on the isthmus.
Advices received from an official
source in Bogota say the candidates for
the Colombian Presidency who viii have
the support and recognition Of the ad-
ministratiOn are Gen Raphael Reyes,
now Vice President, and Louis Carlos
Rico. now minister Of foreign affairs.
Both Reyes and Rico are ardent sup
porters Of the proposition TO give a cana

fact that these candidates. are receiving
favor above al others is said to be

alleged to have taken in obtaining Gov
ernment glove contracts, in viola
ton of section S7S9. OF the Revised
Statutes of the United States, which
forbids members Of Congress to share
the benefits of contracts with the Gov
ernment.
Attorney General Knox has consider
ed the Littauer case. and transmitted
an opinion to the War Department, in
which he says no action can be brought
against Mr.. Ldttauer by the Government
to recover money, and no criminal ac-
tion Is possible. because the statutory
period Of limitation within which such
action could be brought, elapsed more
than a year ago.
Says Contract Was Valid.
The contract OF December Z, 1898,
which z. r. Lyon obtained, and in
which Mr.. LittaEer is said TO have been
interested. was supposed TO furnish the
clearest case of violation OF section 3739.
In discussing this contract Mr. Knox
says 1t was executed properly, and all
goods delivered satisfactorily. Conse-
quently no demand could be made under
this contract for return OF part of
the money paid on the clause in section
27S9 upon which such action must be
necessarily be brought
This clause is as follows:
''All contracts or agreements made in
violation of this section shall be void
and whenever any sum OF money is ad-
vauced on the part OF the United States
in consideration Of any such contract
or agreement it shall be forthwith re-
paid,

law that where n contract has been

In conclusion Mr.. Knox says no use
