Curiosity at every- thing to be seen—the tents, the horses, the rifled field pieces—but above all the field kitchens was something marvelous. Offi- cers became accustomed to strange faces Peering into their cosy tents with such re- marks as “My, he's got “And see the wash basi “He actually uses soap,” etc.; while the crowds about the open-air kitchens became so demon- strative that ropes had to be stretched to enable the cooks to work. The camera en- thusisasts were very much in evidence, and both officers and men early became hard- ened to gazing fixedly into space, while the lens of a camera was thrust ruthlessly for- ward in their direction. Surely, soldiers dare face the frowning cannon’s mouth, after experiences such as these! Camp Merritt was abandoned May 1, the inhabitants of the neighboring town of Guttenberg causing no little excitement by their frantic efforts to carry off fire wood left by the troops, while a single employe of the quartermaster’s department tried vainly to keep his eyes on forty different piles of wood at the same time. The troops abandoned him to his fate! With band playing and colors flying the cavalry and hght battery made their first day’s march to Elizabeth, N.

For divers reasons, the boys in blue did not all have handkerchiefs to wave in return, but their drab campaign hats did quite as well. Elizabeth and Princeton. At Elizabeth rain overtook the command; the camp, which was unfortunately pitched on swampy ground, became a quagmire, and there was serious thought of teie- graphing the War Department for life pre- servers. But the hospitality of the Eliza- ‘beth people more than made amends for the inclement weather. Charming people waded out, to the camp. and made them- "selves known; and dinners, breakfasts and a hop at the Town and Country Club followed.

Promi ¢ Rusi- . Takes His Own Life, “ George A. Jordan, a lawyer und real es- tate broker, committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself in the head with a 22-caliber revolver. Mr. Jordan had, been in bad health for some time, and it is thought that he committed the deed In a fit of despondency caused by his illness. Mr. Jordan left his home yesterday morn- ing as usual and went to his office at 1417 F street. About 10 o’clock he went over to. the Corcoran building and called on Mr. Jonn J. Weed, who occupies apart- ments in the house of the deceased. Mr. Jordan und Mr. Weed talked together for some time, and abcut 11 o'clock the former went to the Howard House, where he reg- istered and asked for a room. Shortly after 3 o'clock the bell boy went upstairs and called him, in accordance with a request Mr. Jordan made when he registered. He came dcwn stairs and left the hotel, but scon returned; and the proprietor, Mr. J. C. Maynard, noticed that he had two small Packages in his hand, which, it is now be- lieved, contained the revolver and a box of cartridges. He asked for the key of his room and went upstairs again, and in a few minutes the report of a pistol was ard. When the room occupied oy Mr. Jordan was entered he was found lying on the floor with the blood gushing from a wound in the right side of his head. A telephone Message was sent at once to the Emer- gency Hospital for an ambulance and the injured man was taken to the hospital, where it was found the bullet had lodged in the left side of his head. It was evident there was no hope_of saving his Jife, and his wife and daughters were’ summoned. They remained with him until his death, which occurred at half-past 10 o'clock. Mr. Jordan had a large circie of friends in this city, where he has lived the greater Fart of his life. He was for over twenty years chief of the division of abandoned and captured property in the Treasury De- partment.
