THE END Of A LONG MARCH
Regular Troops Finish Their
Overland Journey.
ENTERTAINED ON THE ROUTE
The People of the Different Towns
Where the Soldiers Camped Did
All They Gould TO Relieve the
Monotony of the Journey-Ihe
Distance Travelled $50 Miles.

The regular troops from Fort Myer and
month ago 10 take part in the Grant Day
parade in New York, arrived at their home
stations shortly after l o'clock yesterday
afternoon, having marched overland fron
New York to this city, a distance OF about
250 miles.
They left New York on May /. With the
band pla wing and colors flying the cavalry
and light battery made their first day IS
march TO Elizabeth, n. j.. passing through
HobUken, Jersey City, and Newark Along
the route many flags were flying. and from
the mills and factories hundreds OF hand
kerchiefs were waved TO the marching
troops.
At Elizabeth the camp was unfortunately
pitched on swampy ground, and rain over
taking tie command the ground became
a Guagmire, but the hospitality OF the EllL-
abeth people more than made amends FOR
the unfortunate meteorological conditions.
Many ladies visited the camp, and as a
natural sequence dinners, breakfasts, and
d hop at the Town and Country Club We're
participated in by the boys in blue 1t
was with genuine regret that they broke
camp and marched to New Brunswick
The following day the sun was again
in evidence, and the soldiers advanced
on Princeton. There a number of officers
were invited to dine at the Students
Club and later III the evening the senior
class favored the soldiers boys with
several popular vocal selections.
AS a tribute of respect 10 the venerable
nile where met the 1irsr Continental Con-
gress ofthe United states, the troops on the
following day were drawn up in line before
the magnificent college buildings and pre-
sented arms amid the cheers OF the stu
dents En- route TO Trenton the soldiers
were accompanied by many Of the college
men.
At Trenton companies of the National
Guard met and escortedthe regulars through
the city, many flags being in evidence
in the windows of the houses and stores
The Delaware was then crossed and Camp
Morris established on the site OF Washing
tons headquarters, on Morris Island
Here also othecamp was visited by thousands.
The next camp was at Torresdale, sub
urb of Philadelphia, on the estate of Col.
Mcneil. inspector general of the Pennsyl-
vania National Guard.
At Bristol nearly every house was gor-
geous,y decorated with bunting, and near
the center of the town piece Of the original
arch under W hich Lafayette passed in 1924

troops. The next stop was at Philadelphia,
where Camp Hastings was formed on
Georges Hill, Fairrnount Park.
At New Brunswick the command had been
ioned by four foot batteries of artillery,
under Major Lancaster, OF the Washington
barracks. with Capts. Chase, Everett, Fuger,
and Adair. and Lieuts. Alexander, Hunter,

BRICE SUED BY A WOMAN
NeedIew0rk Artist Demands Paw
From the Millionaire.
Mrs. Paxton Demands a Settlement
for Rich Embroideries Furnished
the Ex-Senator's Table.

Mrs. Mary A. Paxton, an artist OF fine
needlework and other dainties of the tpu-
doir and drawIng-room, who formerly kept
an establishment at the southeast corner
OF Twelfth and q streets northwest, for the
sale OF such foibles and other pretty con-
ceits, has entered suit before the supreme
court of the District against ex-United
States Senator Calvin S. Brice for S42S. 80,
being the amount of sundry articles of fine
table linen purchased by the wife of the
railroad magnate during the months of
January, February and March last and for
which, she claims, she has been repeated
ly refused a settlement by the lady in
question
Accompanying the petition in the suit
is an itemized statement of each and every
article furnished, and the lavish use of fine
linen, monogram and crests will fill the
soul Of rival society matrons with a gnaw-
ing envy that will be akin to nervous pros
tration. Many of the articles in question,
tits said, were used at the ma gnificemt din
nersfor which the Brices have been famous.

coran House are inclined Table covers

Mrs Paxton, in her petition, states
that she has tried repeatedly TO collect
the amount due, and has even gone to the
extent Of revealing the cost of the labor
and materials in question, which she
named as S3IS.50. Her applications for
settlement have always been met with
refusal, and she is compelled to seek
the necessary redress in the courts. Messrs
Howe Totten and j. Spaulding Flannery
are her attorneys.
For some weeks past the story has been
gong the rounds of society in the West
End, and divers accounts have been given
of its character, but the suit just filed
is the plain and simple statement of the
petitioner in question, and the facts are
stated with precision and clearness that
