the chief lnstigator Of the mischief, a

RECKLESS AARON BURR.
The Dramatic Story Of His Marriage
In Old Age.


The story OF Aaron Burr's marriage
In his old age to the widow Of Stephen
Jumel, who was well known in~the
early history of New York city, is q
dramatic one.
Conceive, IL you VIII, the picture OF
Burr, gifted adyenturer that he was,
broken In health, branded in the popu-
lar mind as the murderer Of Alexander
Hamilton aud returning from long
exile to find himself an outcast in the
city where be had once been the p0lit-
ieal monarch of all he surveyed and a
distinguished figure In society and at
the bar Conceive, If you can, this
lamentable old man, Sinking through
his wrinkles, bowling and prancing

joints and with his mouth full of pref
ty plstitudes, paying court TO the Wild
ow OF Stephen Jumel, herself in the
prime OF years and health. Remove
from the picture its surface incongrul-
ties, and you have bit Of pure pathos
unequaled In the annals or foolish great
men.
But something OF his old time pow
er to charm the geutlcr sex must have
stood by him In his years Of mental
and physical misery for in his suit for
the widow Jumel's hand and fortune
he won gloriously. dramatically. Re-
buffed repeatedly Burr finally de-
clared in passionate rage that on
given day he would Earriye at the Jumel
mansion accompanied by a clergyman,
who should marry them on the spot.
He would give bis prospective bride no
quarter, no chance OF escape from the
inevitable.
She was amused at the threat and
dismissed the old man with more than
her usual GOODNESS Of demeanor. Burr
stuck to his avowal and one July day
rolled up In a carriage, aud with him
was minister, the same who fifty years
before performed the marriage eere-
