upon Mrs. Morris by an antenuptial
agreement, the claim of her heirs was

French wine merchant, whose widow,
at the age of sixty, was married to
Aaron Burr, then a discredited old
man of seventy-eight.

ican Revolution.
The period of Washington's occupa
tion was the' summer of 1776. He
made the Morris house his headquar
ters immediately after his defeat In
the battle of Long Island. From this
point he observed the British, who held
the city and the southern part of the
island, while they were throwing up
intrenchmeuts of which the outer line
was at what is now Ninety-fourth
street, and here he remained, with one
short absence, until the unfortunate is
sue of the battle of Harlem Heights
compelled his retirement to Fort Lee,
on the Palisades across the Hudson.
- During Washington's occupation of
the mansion it was the scene of the
councils of war of himself and his
staff. He gave audience here to Na
than Hale before he went upon the
mission which was to bring him death

won him the respect and regard of
Washington, which endured until his
death at the band of Burr, of wbom
the commander in chief at the same
time conceived a lasting distrust.
The flower of the Continental army
were gathered here General Lee, of
whom great things were expected be
cause of his successes in the south;
General Putnam, General Greene and
General Mercer. Ou the west side of
the house is shown a room In which
Washington and the members of his
military family talked over their plans,
and its antique wall paper (now care
fully removed to a smaller room) is
said to have been bung by the staff.

A picturesque incident which occur
red during the occupation was the re
ception by Washington of a deputation
of Stockbridge (Mass.) Indians. So
many of the red men bad taken the
side of the British that these blanketed
visitors were viewed with some dis
trust by the general's attendants, but
it developed that they had come to as
sure him of their friendship.
Washington left the house only fif
teen minutes before the British, vic
torious in their assault upon Fort
Washington, took possession of his late
headquarters. He visited it In 1783
with Rochambeau on his triumphal re
turn to the city. He did not enter it
asain until he was president of the
United States, and he made an entry
in bis diary of the date of his visit
July 10, 1790. In the party that ac
companied bim were the vice presi
dent, John Adams, and his wife, the
secretaries of state, the treasury and
war and the wives -of the last two.

foreign guests who enjoyed its hospi

Louis Napoleon and Jerome Bonaparte.
Immediately after the marriage of the
widow to Burr he sought to have the
deeds of the' property transferred to
him, but the" couple quarreled in a few
weeks, and thus no excuse was ever
given for calling the mansion by the
name of the man who shares the pil

Tradition has given the Jumel man
sion a ghost. It Is that of a woman,
presumably, for, although invisible, its
prosence is or was made manifest by
the rustling of a silken gown, and the
nnfortunate who heard the rustling at
night, of course was likely to feel the
next minute a vicious pinch. A secret
passage, that other indispensable fea

General Washington's large tent,
wrapped up in its poles, required two
men to' place it in the wagon, but the
general himself could pick it up in one
hand and toss It into the vehicle with
ease. Many stories were current in
his time regarding his great feats of
strength. As a hammer thrower, no
doubt he would have won the cham
pionship. He threw a stone across the
Rappahannock river at Fredericksburg.
He threw another from the top of the
Palisades into the Hudson river. He
climbed the walls of' the Natural
bridge of Virginia." Thus great strength
went with great stature. But Wash
ington's lungs were weak and his voice
never strong, says Akerson.
