A Ou POINT CENTENNIAL.

observance OF the IoOth Anniversary Of
tho Arrival In This Country OF the Founder
of tho Great tPowdermakine concern.
On the first day of January, 1900,
Eleuthere lrenee dn Pont de Nemours,
arrived at Newport, r. |. Monday, the
Tooth anniversary of that event, was
celebrated in reunion Of the du Pont
family, at Saint Amour, the residence
of Mrs. Lammot du Pont, on the Ken
nett turnpike.
The founder of the great powder
making company had learned the bnsi-
ness at the government mills in France.
In the French Revolution he and his
father were advocates of q constitu--
tional monarchy, and the father placed
the son at the head of printing house
| in the interest Of the moderate and law
| abiding party. Both father and SON
were among the armed defenders oil
Louis XVI. at the Tuilleries August
| 10th, 1892; and both were marked for
subsequent destruction. After the
| Reign of Terror, the du Points renewed
their opposition to the Jaoobins. The
father was imprisoned, together with
many of his colleagues in the Council
of Ancients, corresponding to the Unitet
States Senate, and the printing houst
was destroyed Despairing of the pollti
cai future and ruined in fortune, tht
du Pont family turned their eye
towards the New World, and in l799
Irenee and his father and brothe
Victor sailed with their families TO
America and landed at Newport, X. !
Not long afterwards, Irenee's attentior
was drawn to the bad quality OF tn
gunpowder made IN this country. ID
returned 10 France to secure plans AM
, machinery, and coming back TO thi
country, bought a tract of land on th
Brandvwipe, where he arrived with nj
4 family July 18th, 1902. To IL he CAV

The Upper Hsgley Mills were com
menced in 1872 and the Lower Hagle
Mills were built in 1928, and a
brought into such perfection OF WORK

) cholera, in 1884, the founder had tn
| satisfaction of knowing that his labor
{ had resulted in making these the mos

having that effect, the oil by some
means was scattered and sooE the en-
