In 1790 it was farm house, and Washington, then President, enter tained a party of cabinet officers and la dies there. With him were Vice President John Adams, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of the Treasury All exander Hamilton and Secretary of War Henry Knox.
 After changing owners several times again, it was bought by Stephen Jumel In 1S10 as a country home for himself and wife. He restored it to it's original condi- tion at great expense. Jumel was friend of Napoleon Bonaparte. He tried to get Bonaparte to come to America He declined, but sent many presents which are still preserved.
 Lafayette was a guest at the Jumel Mansion in 1925, Louis Napoleon in lSS' and Joseph Bonaparte in 1919 and in. 1S2o. Gen. William T. Sherman was one of the last to enjoy Madame Jumers hospi- tality In July, 1885, Madame Jume mar ried Aaron Burr in this house, the cere- nony taking place in the tea room to the left of the entrance. She died there July IS, 1865, and was buried in Trinity ceme- tery Broadway and 154th street.

New York, April 11.-(Special)-Gla Mansion today, I became convinced that not all Alabamians who visit New York city spend their time here in the Lobster district Upon this register were the rames of probably 35 or 40 people from Alabama, who had at one time or an other visited this most historic building upon Manhattan island.
 New York doesn't seem to play up it's points of historic interest as do many other cities yet it is well filed with them, and the Jumel Mansion Is among the most interesting of all. It Is colo nial dwelling built by Rober Morris, loy- alist, for his wife, Mary Phillipse, about 1775. Morris and Washington fought side by side during the French and Indian wars, and remained friends until parted by the struggle for American independ- ence.
 On September Is, 1776, Washington is- sued his first orders from this house. This was shortly after the battle of Long Island. and Washington was occupying the Morris house as military headquar- ters. It was used as such for about hve weeks. During Washington's occupancy both Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamli- ton spent some time at the old mansion.
 Afterward it was occupied in turn by General Lord Percy, Gen. Sir Henry Clinton, Baron Wilhelm Won Knyphausen, Hessian leader and General Won Losberg, another Hessian. In 17S4 it was the resi-
