CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election OF
the first president of the United States. For some
wears following the establishment of the federal
government Hhe legislatures Of most of the states
chose the presidential electors. the people voting
for them only indirectly, their choice being ex'
pressed by their votes for legislators. deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection Of electors from New York state.
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution, 50 Washington was
elected the first time by the votes of only ten of
the Is stntes.
New York city wns the. scene of the first inausu-
ration however. Washington took the oath on
the portico of Federal hail. the present site of
the subtreasury at Wall and Nassau streets April
80. 1880 Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered an ad'
dress to congress, which met In Federal hall in
those days. John Adams the second president,
also addressed congress In person, but JeferSon
broke the custom which President Wilson has re-
vived. Jefferson stigmatfzed that form of address
as monarchical and put his message in writings-

household effects and provisions for the education
of her relatives. Three granddaughter. four
nieces her grandson, four nephews grandnlece
and other distant relatives and friends are men
toned. To them she gave paintings, town lots
and to nearly all Of them she gave from nVe u
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One Of the odd provisions was: 1T Is my VIII

of nv niece be put into handsome mourning at
my death at the expense of my estate, ana Dc

Another unusual order reads: ut Is my Will
and desire that all Of the wine in bottles IN the
vaults be equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson, to each OF whom
beoueath ten guineas to buy a ring for EACH"
All of the family pictures, except few spe'
officially mentioned, were left to George Washing
ton Parke Custis, and to him went large collec'
ton of household furnishings, including beds'
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pro-
vision was made for the education of three neph.
ews. who were to be fitted in "some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that

At the late date Of 1927 q wish expressed b
George Washington In his will was Obeyed. He
had called attention to his selection of spot for
q new tomb for himself and family and those Of
the family already buried in the old vanlt. The
old tomb was tlisadvantageously situated on the
side Of q hill which was subject to hndslides.
For the new vault he specified not only the spot,
but also dimensions and materials. According to
these, his own plans, tomb was built, and his
and Mrs. Washington's bodies were transferred
to 1t, along with the remains In the old vault Of
other members Of the family. The latter were
buried within the vault, out of sight, while the
bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are In
