spent by people in search of health. There

SQUELcHED BY WIDOWS PIG.
The Montana Statesman Got Mixed
Up in "a story Intended to
Hurt David II. Hill.

Myron Haskins, Of Philadelphia, has
been relating few "reminiscences Of
past national conventions, and in that
connection was reminded of funny
anecdote in which Martin Maginnis,
former delegate in congress from
Montana, was concerned. just prior
to the democratic convention Of 1883,
which nominated Cleveland and Thur
man, David B. Hill. then governor Of
New York. was supposed to have pres
idential aspirations. In order to
squelch them Hills enemies started
story to the effect that he had been
o prime mover in a scheme to extract
money for campaign purposes from
the laborers on the new aqueduct by
means of d rattle for d pig, which was
held at the home Of q Widow Magin-
MS. When the convention met 1.-THE
Widow Maginnis' pig" was q phrase in
everyone's mouth. Gen. pat" Col
Inns, of Boston, was chairman of the
convention, and in It's early hours u
member of the Montana delegation,
which had an obscure position,
climbed up on his chair and secured
recognition. Collins did not know
him personally, and naturally asked
him to state his name. "Maginnis"
was tho answer, followed by deaf
ening roar. 1t was too pat, and
though he struggled manfully. Martin
Maginnis was unable to make that
speech. His voice was drowned by
inquiries as to what had become Of
the pig.

SOLDIERS FOR CHINA.
Iowa Asked How Many Men She Could
Furnish If n Large Army
Is Needed.

Iowa has been asked how many SOL
diers she can furnish for the war with
China, if there should be one, and the
United States should be required to
send a large army there. There are four
regiments of the Iowa national guard,
and they can be recruited up to about
1900 men each, although now the four
regiments make only about 2,700 men,
as The companies are not up to their full
strength. Maj. j. A. Olmsted, the re-
tired United States army officer who Is
netting as chief inspector of the Iowa ma
tional guard and who was the muster
ing officer ut the time of the Spanish
war, says that the regiments are not
in as good condition as they were be-
fore the Spanish war. From 10 to 20 per
cent. of the men are veterans of the
Spanish war. The others are entirely
new men who have much TO learn. a
great majority of the officers are new
men. The physical standards are much
higher and the equipment is better
and more complete. Maj. Olmsted
thinks that the government could ac-
cept the regiments as they are. so far
as physical standards and equipment
are concerned, with the exception OF
arms.
