Site of the Camp.
The place selected for the camp is about
two miles from Falls Church, Va, and
about eight miles from this city. 1t is an
ideal site. The farm which the camp is
laid out is known as WOODBURY. Manor, and
is owned by Mrs. Emma F. Campbell. 1t
has an altitude of about $50 feet, giving
magnificent view of the Virginia hills, over
the peaks CT which the Washington monu-
ment can be seen. The landscape is mag
n!fcent, and the scenery superb. There are
60 acres of ground In the tract which has
been under cultivation, but a large portion
OF the land has been used for pasture pur-
poses and has an excellent sod A stream
of water flows through the center of the
property, giving an ample supply for drink
ing and sanitary purposes. This stream IS
fed by thirty springs, which are scattered
throughout the property There is a large
park Of about 800 acres.
There are two mansions on the estate
one OF which is to be used as headquarters
when all of the troops are massed at the
camp. and the other as sleeping quarters
for the officers in command of the CORDS
There Is ample stable room and all the
facilities for handling large bodies of men
and horses.
In order for Washingtonians to reach
camp 1t will be necessary for them to take
a tram OF the Southern Railway Company
at the Baltimore and Potomac station for
Falls Church. or else take the Washington
ana Fails Church electric railway at the
Virginia end of the Aqueduct bridge. On
arrival at Falls Church hack facilities will
be available. The railroad headquarters of
the camp will be at Dunn Loring. about
two miles west of Falls Church. The enei-
neer department Of the Southern railway
has put in side tracks at this point for tbt,
ACCOMMODATION or the trains. 1t Is about
twenty-five minutes ride from Washington.

DEATH OF MRS. MORRILL,.
Illness of the Wife of the Senator
Prom Vermont Ends EataIIx

illness of the Wife of the Senator
FROM Vermont Ends Fatally.
The sad intelligence of the death of Mrs
Ruth Swan Morrill,, wife of the venerable
senator from Vermont, spread through
Washington shortly after the noon hour
today, and wherever it went it inspired
deep sorrow for the loss of one who had
endeared herself warmly to al! during
her long residence in Washington, and
sympathy for the distinguished statesman
to whom she had been such a devoted help
mate
Mrs. Morrill, had been i'll for some time,
but was believed to be on the road to re-
covery, her improvement being such that
her removal from this city was contem-
plated. A change for the worse ensued,
however, and she died at IL o'clock this
morning at her residence, No. / Thomas
circle. The funeral will take place from
there at Pin. Monday.
Lovnble Character.
Mrs. Morrill, has been for many years one
Of the most prominent as well as one of
the most lovable women in official life.
She was at least ten years younger than
her husband. Failing health of late years
caused her to become almost a complete
IL valid. but she always showed SO much
energy and ambition that her friends the
past winter hoped against hope that she
would again be able to take an active in
terest in the life of her household. She
had been confined to the house during the
entire winter, but as the spring advanced
gained new strength and was quite able
to arrange for and participate in the
eighty-eighth birthday celebration of SEN
ator Morrill, during Easter week
That night she received the hundreds of
guests with the same cordial and friendly
manner which so particularly distinguished
her, and it was only at the close of the
evening when she yielded to the solicita-
lions of her son, and rested on a chair
near her drawing room door.
Her last illness commenced O few days
later
Mrs. Morrill, was a woman of great sweet
ness Of manner and amiability of character
and the acquaintance once received in her
home became, with all the changes in Off
cial life at the capital, her warmest
friends.
She came of distinguished New England
family. Her father and several of her
brothers were physicians. Her maiden
name was Ruth Swan. Her sister, Miss
Louise Swan, has always lived here with
the senator's family. Her brother, DR..
Swan of Boston, has spent almost all the
past winter with the family, and is now
here.

Change in Arrangements.

Owing to the fact that the road from
West Falls Church was in much better
condition than the one leading from Dunn
Loring to the camp ground, Capt. Martin
of the commissary department, U. S. A.,
who came out early this morning, decided
to stop the train and unload the troops at
West Falls Church instead of at Dunn-Lor-
ing, as was intended. Dunn-Loring, how
ever, will be made the railroad headquar-
tiers Of the troops.
The boys are getting everything in read
iress to pitch the tents as soon as they ar
rive, and before night a tented city will
occupy what is row a barren field.
The boys say they are prepared to enter
into camp life with a will. They are in ex-
cellent spirits, and their one desire seems
to be TO get located SO as to be able to re-
