Her Vacation.

Evergreen place. East Orange. a prom
inent authoress, well-known in literary
circles throughout the country. has just
returned from her vacation at Province

spent most of her time In completely
resting from her literary labors, and
she did considerable tramping about
the place. finding many points of in
terest to herself and companions. 81
though intending to do considerable
work, her time vas occupied by many
social affairs. leaving no time for read
ing.
In speaking of her vacation Mrs.
Cutting said:
I'm my opinion, Provincetown is one
of the quaintest. most interesting towns
l have ever visited. The 5000 inhabi-
tants. mostly Portuguese. are interest
ing people to study. The village itself
consists of a long street extending
from two to three miles. AccOmn1o-
dation wagons carry the people from
one place to the other, making travel
very easy.
"Most of my time was spent in walk
ing over the sand dunes, that extend to
the ocean. Bathing and dancing We're
popular features among the younger
folk. Bridge parties were held about
every week. m both young and Old
found much enjoyment in these affairs.
J found much pleasure in rowing and
sailing, fishing also taking some of
time.
MY intentions iii the first place
were to stay three weeks. but finding
the place so interesting, ! decided to
prolong my stay for several weeks.
Since my return requests have been
made for several new serials, and |
shall probably devote my time, for the
next several months, in my study and
work.

SUICIDE MYSTERY
IN WEST ORANGE;
IDENTITY HIDDEN
Unknown Man Shoots Himself
After Carefully Burning
His Papers.
TAKES HIS LIFE NEAR
ESSEX GOLF GROUNDS
Self-Slayer Buried Himself I'M
der Pile of Grass Before
He Fired.

A man, believed to have been a
waiter and of German birth, committed
suicide early today or late last night
near the Essex County golf links in
Hutton Park, West Orange, by firing
a bullet from a .32-calibre revolver
through his heart. No one seems to
know who he Is. His body awaits iden-
tifcation in the Kunz morgue in Centre
street, Orange.
The mar made unusual preparations
for ending his life. He lay down in a
hollow section of the links near a brook
off Mortified road after pulling up
some long grass nearby n placing it
under him. Then he laid newspapers
over the heaped grass and wrapped
papers about the calves of his legs,
probably to prevent mosquitoes from
bothering him, and afterwards placed
a towel about his neck. He also
gathered a small book he carried and
other papers on his person in a pile
and burned them, undoubtedly to pre-
vent identification.
The man weighs about 1870 pounds
and is five feet nine inches tall. He
has a gray mustache. He wore a we'll
worn suii of dark mixture and SO shoes,
long worn. On his person were three
one-cept pieces and two foreign coins.

The action of the county
commissioners in taking steps
looking to the erection of a
county Jail and sheriff's resi-.
dence is to be commended.
The present quarters for the
sheriff's family and the cell
room for prisoners can be
utilized by the county officers
who are now occupying Offices
outside the court house, and a
saving of $1,000 a year or
more in rent will result.
The present Jail building is
not strong enough to hold the
more dangerous class of
prisoners, and that escapes
have been numerous in the
past is no fault of the officers.
There is a sufficient sum in the
court house building fund to
defray the cost of a jail and
sheriff's residence and no
additional tax will be neces.
