MAINE LEADS OFF.
Our Signal Boys Are Now
Stationed in Tampa, Fla.
r..
Capt. George W. Butler Is Now
the Senior Commander.
Superior Equipment Of the Maine Signal
Corps is Recognized.

| With the Maine Signal Corps, WASH
| irgton, D. c., June 22.-(SpeciaD.-Th
result of Col. Dunwoods inspection of
the signal detachments from the diff
erent states, Monday was that the
Maine detachment is ordered to Tampa,
Fla, for which place the detachment
| LETT, last night.
The order that was given Capt. But
Ter for the men to depart for Tampa,
has caused a general feeling of rejoice
ing among the men. 1t is now that the
men are beginning to realize the i'm
pOrtance of the hard training which
the men We're given by Capt. Butler
while in Augusta. More than all they
realize the care which he took in pick
ing out his men, all Of whom are
equipped for service in the best posi-
bic manner.
X General a. w. Greeley, the chief of
the Signal Corps, had as his guests,
Monday evening, at dinner, Capt.
George w. Butler and Lieut.. Walker
of the Maine Signal Corps. At the time
Gen. Greeley informed Capt. Butler
that his Signal Corps was wanted for
the balloon service and that several
army officers would report to him,
Capt. Butler, he being the senior officer
i'll command of the detachment, for
service.
From what has been learned since
the Maine Signal Corps has been sta
toned in this city it seems that the
men We're sent away on account of
their superior equipment. discipline and
efficiency. It was the first plan when
the men arrived here the ability not
being known. to have them remain here
until they were in condition to be
moved.
1t was the original intention to make
this post the rendezvous of all the
Signal Corps in the country. The corps
from Connecticut, Maryland, Ohio and
the District of Columbia are still sta
toned in this city. learning the rudi-
ncnts Of the business. q
The Maine Signal Corps has So men
and all are mounted. The daily rou-
tine While the men were here consisted
of drilling twice day and learning to
ride the horses. Where the men are to
be sent from Tampa has not yet been
learned. The majority much prefer
being sent to the Philippines over Cuba.
The idea in sending the men to Tampa
is that they may be acclimated.
The barracks of the men are in the
heart of the city on the banks of the
Potomac river Hardly a day passes
when the barracks of the Maine boys
are not visited by Maine people, of
whom there are a great number in
Washington.
There are besides the men already

A NEW CHARM.
The Passing of the Rabbits Foot.

The Passing of the Rabbits Foot.
From the New York Herald.)
The rabbits foot is not in the race
any longer as a charm. What has
caused the downfall of bunnie's hind
foot as a protection against all evil
and an assurance of perpetual good
luck for its happy possessor is rather
a puzzling question, and one which the
fair sex and the advocates of the new
fad would find it hard to explain. Per-
haps the late Presidential campaign
may have had something to do with it.
Every one knew that the silver candi-
date was presented with a rabbits foot
Immediately upon receiving his nomina-
ton, and that the mascot complied
with all the requirements of the case,
for it was the left hind foot of a molly
cottontail. that had been killed in the
full of the moon, at y o'clock at night
in a graveyard, by red-headed mig
ger
Well, the rabbit having enjoyed so
great and so long run of popularity,
in the natural course of events, the
time has come for him to step down
and out He has done SO, and his place
has been taken by one of the kings of
the farmyard-the lordly turkey:
Fashion DEGREES that in order to be
lucky one must wear in some manner
or possess i'll some shape or other
turksy's claw.
This fad is so new that it has hardly
reached the counters yet except in one
or two shops which pride themselves
upon bringing out all the most exclu-
siye novelties OF course it will eYentu-
allv become as common as the craze
for rabbits feet, but today it is very
difficult thing to find turkeys claw
prepared in the proper style for
charm against bad luck.
| asked an old colored man if he had
ever heard of the turkeys claw as be
ing an unluclly or lucky charm
why, yes" he replied. Down South
where | come from, it is better and
luckier to steal your Thanksgivin' or
Christmas turkey. | don't hold with the
fashion of stealing anything, but if you
can only steal your turkey for the holi-
day dinner you will have good luck all
| the rest of the year. In the old days
the 'massa' would put away lot of
turkeys, and the darkies would go in
the night. just at Il o'clock, and steal
| the birds
But what about the claw? What
| good luck does that BRING"
Why. bless your heart. don't you
know that the turkeys foot is an awful
| lucky thing? You must take the claw
| after you have cleaned your turkey
| a stolen one, mind you-dip it in salt,
| bury it, you better say, in a dish of
| salt for a whole week. and let it lie
| there so that all the bits of flesh which
stick to it are cleaned away, and your
| foot is just as sweet as nut. Then
You take it out and scrape it and clean
| il and polish it, until it just shines like
| a piece of stone. Then you put it up

that was that after the devil had

came across the turkeys path, and the
turkey raised up his right foot and
struck at his head. The blow was so
hard that the devil was stunned for a

turkeys right foot being lucky against
bad fortune.
