N. J., in the line of march and the army camped there for one night
 When the army arrived in Princeton Moth err Jones went straightway to the home of the Mayor, inquired if there was ary objection to the establishment of a temporary camp fin the town and asked that the official point out some spot her army could use. The Mayor assured the venerable lady that she was wei come to Princeton, and expressed the belief that there would be no objection to her using any ground that she found vacant
 After thanking the Mayor she again took command of the army and started toward the outskirts of the village Some distance ahead she esped the home of ex-President Grover Cleevland. The house is surrounded by con siderable ground, and. to Mother Jones's eye. was peculiarly adapted to her purposes She left her boys fin the road and entered the premises.
