' A BIG PURCHASE, j HOWDUPONT SUPPLIED THE POW DER FOR THE CIVIL WAR. j A "Mr, Jonea' 1 liiit Grrut Powder-Maker ) Bought All th Saltpetre There wad In ! England and Charged the Government | Kolhing for His Service*. On the banks of the Brandywlne, In j Delawave, are the great Dupont Pow der Mills. Established in ISO 2 by the French Royalist, Eieuthere T. Dupont de Nemours, who found republican France an uncongenial home, they have grown to be the greatest mills In the world for the malting of explosives. At the time of the civil war the Duponts were, as they are to-day, powder mak ers for the United States government In 1861 the secretary of war sent for the Duponts, and La Motte Dupont, one of the heads of the firm, went to Wash ington in reply to the summons. "Are you prepared to furnish a very large amount of gunpowder?" asked the secretary of war. "That depends on our obtaining salt petre," was the answer. "The saltpe tre of the world Is mined in India, of course, under the control of the British government and the markets are in London and Liverpool." The secretary of war was startled. If England should prove unfriendly dur ing the course of the war which was opening, the saltpetre market would, of course, be closed to the United States. "The government must buy a large amount at once," he said. "Excuse me," said Mr. Dupont, "the United States cannot go into the mar ket and buy saltpetre at any reasona ble price—indeed, it might not be able to buy It at all, but the Duponts can get it without exciting comment." "Will you go to England and buy It buy all there is?" Mr. Dupont agreed to go, and he and the secretary of war talked a few mo ments longer; they made a few figures and the powder man was provided with letters of credit on the Rothschilds. On the next steamer he sailed for England and presented himself with letters of introduction to the Roths childs. "Very sorry, Mr. Dupont, your letters of credit have not arrived," and he was politely bowed out. He next presented letters of Introduc tion to Baring Brothers, the London correspondents of the Duponts. One of the firm, a Mr. Archibald, cordially re ceived the powder manufacturer. "Very happy to meet you, Mr. Du pont. We have never had the pleasure of meeting a Dupont, although we have done business with the firm for fifty years." "I am very glad to meet you," said the American, "for I am In need of money." "We shall be most happy to furnish you with all that you require. About how much Will you need?" Mr. Dupont looked meditatively at the floor for a moment, and Mr. Archi bald looked with some curiosity at his American customer.. A homely man was this powder maker; high cheek bones, a square chin, covered with a thio, uneven bristly beard, spectacles ■on his deep, kind eyes; a man who somewhat resembled Lincoln in the character of his face. Mr. Archibald thought he might want several hun dred pounds. This American had per haps found London a little more ex pensive than in his western simplicity toe had supposed. Mr. Dupont, looking up. said: "I shall want 600,000 pounds, and I ■want It right away." Mr. Archibald was amazed. Only hla British phlegm prevented him exhibit ing his astonishment. Was this Amer ican a new Monte Cristo! "By right away, do you mean now?" he managed to ask. "I mean in twenty-four hours; that ts what we call 'right away' in the United States." "You will pardon me if I consult my partners—lt Is a good deal of money." Mr. Dupont admitted that it was a good deal of money and he took his hat. "By the way, when you send word too my hotel, ask for 'Mr. Jones.' I am •registered under that name." Before he was out of bed the next rooming Mr. Archibald called. The Barings would let Mr. Dupont have the money. Mr. Dupont now had money to burn (this Is not altogether slang) and he set hut to buy saltpetre. He proposed to buy only the large lots, but to buy them all. He went first to Liverpool, and found the saltpetre in the hands of four dealers. He was a "Mr. Jones," who wanted some saltpetre. He bought the stock of all the dealers and each man hugged himself with de light because he had sold his saltpetre, until he discovered that there was none in the market, and the price had ad vanced; therefore, the balance of his days, he cursed the tricky Yankee. This great supply of saltpetre bought tohc next thing was to hire ships to carry It to America. He found Ameri can vessels In Liverpool which would undertake to transport it, a matter of some risk, for saltpetre was contraband of war. The loading began, everything moved •lowly. Mr. Dupont was exasperated •t the tedious delays, for all the means of transportation moved deliberately In England. At last the vessels were ready and he Informed the harbor master that She ships would sail at high tide that evening. The harbor master found It impossible to have the papers ready— Jt would take two or three days. There was red tape here and red tape there. Mr. Dupont was now In a fever of Im patience. Every hour Increased the danger of the government finding out that all the saltpetre In England was •bout to go ovsr the sea; another day's delay and the eMps might not sail at ell. He pressed the harbor mnsf!"P *<JT the clearance papers. The polite offi ci..l expia'ned that It would coat him ;.v | V f to nif it was known that ho naJ violated the rules. "And how much is your position worth?" "Three hundred pounds a year." Mr. Dupont looked at the harbor master attentively; he was a man of over sixty years. Then he put his hands in h;s pockets and looked out the ofllce win (low, which bristled with masts of all nations. Now Mr. Dupont knew his Dumas well, and at that moment he was turning over in Ills mind the meth od the Count of Monte Cristo used to rid a garden of dormice which ate his peaches. "1 should like to draw a check for three thousand pounds in exchange for the papers," ho said. The ships sailed on the next tide. When Mr. Duront reported to the secretary of war there was a love feast in the office of the war department. Af ter the congratulations were over the secretary said: "How much do we owe you, Mr. Du pont?" The powder maker named the amount of his expenses, to which he added $15,- 009 to the harbor master. "But what charge do you make for your services in the negotiation?" Then this Franco-American, who might have demanded a princely sum for his extraord nary services, bowed to the secretary and replied: "I have had the distinguished honor of helping the government: I wish noth ing further." Thera is a sequel to this story. When the war was over, Mr. Dupont, realiz ing the tremendous risk run by the government in relying upon native saltpetre, set himself to inventing ait artificial substitute, and hereafter, wUU mountains of nitrate of soda in Chiii, and potash everywhere, the United States will never be in such straits again. In 1884 this distinguished powder maker fell a victim to his enthusiasm for his business and while experi menting with high explosives, was kil led in an explosion.—New York Trib une. HARDTACK BETTER THAN BREAD. Army Food Which improves Upon Close Acquaintance. "One of the queerest things about new troops is the prejudice against army crackers," said the major, as he recalled some happenings of the civil war, "but they an get over it in time., and dime to understand that the sol dier's stomach has no standby lika hardtack. Our company had this ten derfoot notion that fresh or dry bread is better than crackers for soldiers on for march. On one occasion we load ed up with bread to last for three days. The second day most of it was sour, and the third day it was worse. Be fore we returned to camp we were crazy for crackers, and we never went back on them after that. "We learned to appreciate hardtack in the forced march from southern Tennessee to Louisville in 1862. Regu lar rations ran out and flour was Is sued Instead of crackers. This didn't seem objectionable at first, but when we had to march all day and got our rations of flour at midnight, with or ders to move at 3 a. m., the heavy swearers came into action. There was no time to cook even flapjacks or sink ers, and If you attempted to carry flour in the rain you came out at night with a bag of paste. A cast iron stomach could not stand such messes as the soldiers made of the flour. They made dough and baked or half baked it in ashes or on dirty hot stones, and ate so-called biscuits, with the soft, un baked centers burning lips and throats, and, after they were swallowed, lying like lumps of lead in not overstrong stomachs. The whole division cheered like wild men when we struck the cracker line at West Point, on the Ohio." —Chicago Inter-Ocean. After Long Tears. "Do you remember," said Miss An cient Oldgirl to Col. Crabtree, "how when you were a young man you pro posed to mo and 1 rejected you?" "It is one of the happiest recollec tions of my life," said the Colonel with an air of gallantry. And Miss Oldgirl is still wondering.—Puck. i THE SONG OF THE BULLET. 4 I peacefully slumbered a thousand year% A thousand yeare and Ynore, The centuries, with noiseless tread, jj Marched pant my chamber door, d And gruusoK grew and flowers bloomed .9 At my threshold, yoar by year. .J At ]>eace withUiod and man were we And nothing knew of fear. ..

Oak Grove is very popular for hold-1 ing family picnics. Nearly every day, I if you chance to pass by you see families preparing to take their dinner under the shade. But in the face of all its popularity, it is certainly not the nice, clean appearing grove of former years, and the many conven iences for the comfort and enjoyment of pleasure seekers have gone to ruin. Seats and tables have been broken down, swings destroyed, and the sur roundings in general show the effects of the howling gang of young men and boys who make the grove a ren dezvous to carry on their gambling games, and other ungentlemanly con duct. * * * The captive Spanish officers are at Annapolis, where every kindness is being shown them by the authorities and the public. Captain Eulate, of the Vizcaya, is reported crazy. He is also reported to have shot 40 mem bers of his crew, for deserting their guns under fire. His ship visited New York before the outbreak ot hostilities and when he sailed away he made a courtly Spanish bow and said : "I go, but I shall return. Until then, farewell." The circum stances surrounding his second visit are not exactly what he had anticipat ed, and he has probably learned some thing about the Schley tricks of the American navy. * * * A Maine soldier writes home that an Arkansas guard was chinning the Maine sentry, who was pacing his parallel beat. "S'near as I can see, there ain't much difference atween we uns and you uns, 'cept that we uns reckon and you uns guess." "That's abeut all, neighbor," replied the Maine man, " 'cept that we can guess a darn site better than you can reckon." • * * * An authority states that there are eight classes of people who are a detriment to a town ; First, those who go out of town to do their trad ing. Second, those who oppose im provements. Third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and busi ness. Fourth, to those who think they can do business slyly and with out advertising. Fifth, those who de ride public spirited men. Seventh, those who oppose any public enter prise that does not appear to benefit them. Eighth, those who seek to injure the credit of any individual.

Some We Have Owned Since 1857 and Still Uninhabited. How many persons know that the United States has possessions in the South Pacific that might be used as a coaling stations in our campaign against the Philippines ? asks the New York Herald. Did you ever hear of Baker Island, or Howland Island ? It's a thousand chances to one that you never did, but they have been United States possessions since 1857. It has been suggested that these tiny islands might come in handy just at this time, pending the annexation of Hawaii. They have never before assumed the slightest degree of im portance, and even now the officials of the war department at Washington are not inclined to believe that they can be put to a practical use, except in case of the most dire necessity. Still, that emergency might possibly arise, and these desolate spots upon a still more desolate sea may yet serve a purpose heretofore undreamed of. The exact location of Baker Island, to be accurate, is latitude 13 minutes 30 seconds north, longitude 176 de grees 29 minutes 30 seconds west. Howland lies two or three miles to the north. Neither island is inhabited, except by sea fowl and a multitude of half starved, vicious rats. The latter do not hesitate to attack a human being. At certain times of the year the islands are visited by vessels, which load with guano, which abounds in great quanti ties, What little vegetation there is is coarse and scanty. Baker island has no fresh water, but on Howland island are several pools of brackish water, supposed to be partially freshened by distillation from the sea. The anchorage is said to be very unsafe. The former island boasts a movable wharf. It is quite impossible for vessels to load between November and April. Howland island is two miles long and half a mile wide. Baker island is one mile long and three-quarters of a mile wide. Aside from the fact that they are out of the usual sailing course, it would seem that the island would possess little value as a base of war supplies. But still there is some satis faction in knowing that they are there, and that they belong to our government. The time may come when, insignificant as they now ap pear, we may be glad of their exist ence. NIAGARA rALLS- Low-Rate Excursion, via Pennsylvania Rail road.
