after the marriage the colonel and ms
bride were in New York she ASKED
about the money. He told her sAe W.

take care of her business matters MAJ
anne JUmel had temper OF net OMu.
She made some unkInd remarks. Inc
colonel suggested that she go 70 ner
room. She made some reLOrL LudL Cut
Burr to the quick. He left the Jumel
mansion and slept that night IN the
modest room in Duane street he former
" had occupied
and Juliet was over There was re-
Cancellation a week or two later, but
not for long. Burr was imper1Ous- Mad
anne JumeI had been an old mans dar-
ling while the wife of JumeL she
couldn't tolerate the attitude of her new
husband. Her patience was exhausted
by his insistence that she was his wife
and that that was enough dignity for
any woman. EStranEement came
again. Madame, in her anger, took le-
gal action to deprive Burr of control Of
her property he was FURIOUS. he new
er fOrgave her for that slight upon his
honor. He put IN defence but with
drew it.
Her conduct in this matter preyed up
on his mind He became very i'll and
was thought to be dying. Madame went
to the lodging house in which ne was
living. He was deliriOus She had him
bundled up, put in a carriage and taken
20 her mansion, where she nurSed him
for several weeks. When he recovered
consciousness he refused to hold speech
with her. So soon as he was able to
stand, he left the house, never to re-
turn. He had been born in Staten
Island in 1856. Late in September, 1886,
so years and seven months after he
came on earth, ne crossed the waters OF
the bay and went to an old tavern not
far from where he was born There he
died with no one to attend him
a hundred women had loved him, and
he never had loved but one.
Madame JumeI as BUrFs Widow.
Madame Jumel took the death of Burr
almost with relief Within few months
she was the same enchanting adven-
turess and capriciOus woman as Of yOre.
Once more she was supremely indiffer-
ent to criticism She was prOdigal in
her glItS; magnificent IN her entertain
ment. The following June she was
the leading spirit in a carnival Of flow
ers such as New York had never seen
before She spent a lot Of money on the
Deautlficatlon OF the grounds about the
Jumel mansion She had no desire to
be known as Mrs. Burr.
In 1852 she made another visit 10
Paris Louis Napoleon was at the height
Of his glory. He gave a grand ball in
her honor. She was taken into the ball
room on the arm Of Jerome BOnaparte-
A thousand COurtesies were shown to
her during her visit Louis Napoleon
could not do too much for the woman
who had befriended him when he was
a penniless adventurer in the streets OF
New York
The hOnOrs showered upon her BY
Louis Napoleon made madame JumeI
think she almost was royal herself. 1t
turned her head When she reopened
the Jumel mansion she had her own
private troops to attend her. She had q
bOdyguard OF 20 soldiers. Visitors were
announced as If they were coming into
the presence Of royalty. Each summer
she went to Saratoga, her train OF at
tendants numbered so or more persons.
Her mind was weakening. The older
she became the more she thought OF
Burr. and the more she talked of him
In the last few years OF her life she
never mentioned the name Of Jumel She
died in her mansion July 16, 1865 in her
seth year Twenty OF the most distin-
guished citizens Of New York acted as
pallbearers.
