WASHINGTON MEMORIALS
The Balustrade Behind Which He
Took the Oath of Office as President

New York Letter 10 Troy Times
The recurrence OF WashIngtun's birthday
recalls some Interesting points. and its ob-
scrNance by dinner at the old Morris House
was highly appropriate. This stored mansion
Will gradually drop the Jumel name and also
its associations, while those Of the Morris fam

built by Colonel Norris of the british Army
who married Mary Phnlipse, Washmgton's
first love. Morris acquired the Phiipse ma
by this marriage and built this lordIy
dwelling for manor house. The property
was conflscated during the Revolution. and
Washington made It his hea Quarters during

by few friends and reviewed those scenes of
painful interest.

stone was used its base. but how or why
such relic should ever have been stored in
Bellevue Hospital was a question not easily
solved. Eventually I learned that the de-
molition of Federal Hall and the purchase OF
the Bellevue property occurred at nearly the
same time, and hence all available materials
were removed to the latter. where they were
used in the charity buildings
After my surgeon friend left the hospital
my interest was continued by my occasional
visits to the adjacent morgue. and at one of
these visits my attention was casually at
tracted by the large veranda near the hospital
porch Looking at 1t closely noticed a
strange difference in workmanship, for while
most was comparatively modern, In the centre
the style was rude and primitive and took
the shape Of balustrade. The latter closer
examination was composed of thirteen bars
each end being marked by n halberd and the
whole was so different in style from the other
work that they evidently could not have be-
lonsed to the same age Then recalled the
slab which had once seen in the hall. and
the chain of mediate thought convinced me
that l was gazing on the old balustrade of
Federal Hall. The builder Of the veranda had
utilized II as a matter of economy and had
escaped detection. but reported my discov-
cry to the Historical Society which lost no
time in securing this valuable relic.
