THE DUPONT MANUFACTURING co.
ST. JOHNsBURY, VT.
An enterprise that well illustrates the
high perfection attained by American
of machine tools is that of
the Dupont Manufacturing Co. of this vii
lage, which was incorporated in 1891. The
chief speciality is the Dupont
power hammer, which is notable for its
extreme simplicity of construction and of
adjustment, the great economy of pow
err in it's operation, its durability and its
wide range Of capacity of work. So easy
is it operated that a one hundred power
hammer has been run on regular work
with a one-inch belt, which means a big
saving where steam or electric power Is
used and its durability is unqueston-
able since its simplicity of design leaves
few parts to break, and 1t is made of
the best available materials throughout
Dupont hammers are made in seven reg
ular sizes, and special hammers have
been constructed to meet the require
ments of different manufacturers. These
hammers are especially adapted for the
use in carriage factories, car works, file
shops, edge tool shops and general job
shops, and are also used for a great va
rety of other purposes. Other products
of the company are the Howard mitering
and beveling saw table, the Howard saw

Administration viii Not Take up With
ANY Compromises.
President Will Not Withdraw Troops
Until Stable Government is Adopted

NEW YoRK, May 3l.-A special to the
Tribune, from Washington, says: sens-
tor Platt and Senator spooner were in
conference last night at the apartments
Of Secretary Of the War Root, at the Ar
linzton hotel, and the conference was
continued until a late hour, the subject
being the morning effect Of the action Of
Cuban constitutional convention in ac-
cepting the Platt amendment with what
the Cubans have called Secretary Roots
interpreiion Of that amendment. What
conclusion, il any, was reached, is not
know nor is il know h,w wide q range
the ditcussion took. The hurried notice
Of the conference and the fact that
Senators Platt and Spooner we're sum-
moned here by telegraph from
their homes by the Secretary Of
War indicate the desire of the
President TO have definite programme
with regard, TO submit 10 the Cabinet.
The further fact that none Of those who
took part in the conferences could be in
duced to talk is believed to mean that
the situation isyet too unceit tain TO be
discussed for publication. Until full
advices have been received from Cover
nor-Genersl Wood as to the exact form
in which the Platt amendment was
adopted by the convention at Havans,
the Administration necessarily would be
somewhat in the dark, though il it ex-
pected that a complete translation Of the
amendment as modified or interpreted"
will soon be received by cable from the
Goyernor-General.
It is certain that the administration
will not consent 10 any modification Of
the Platt amendment by the Cubans.
That document must either be accepted
just as it passed Congress or rejected
outright. Obviously there is no mid
die ground TO stand on.
Even II the President and his advisers
we're inclined to make concessions they
would not have the authority 10 do 20 in
this case any more than they would be
authorized 10 change or modify any
other act Of congress. II is
probable that Goyernor-General Wood
will be advised TO this effect by the
President after the Cabinet meeting.
It is thought he will also be instructed
officially TO inform the constitutional
convention that until the Platt
amendment is adopted without any
qualifying or explanatory addenda and
in this shape incorporated into the or.
ganic law Of Cuba the President
cannot withdraw the American troops
from the island nor can the Cubans
proceed with a general election Of officers
for he organization Of their government.
Doubtless when this is fully impressed
on the minds Of the constitution makers
they will strip the amendment Of
surplus age.

He SOLD SALvE
AND SILVER SPOONS
Suckers Who Were Sure of Getting
Something for Nothing.

A choice collection Of suckers who
we're in Salem Memorial Day are a lit
tie short on change today. The same
man who has been working the people
all along the line with q spoon and salye
game, appeared on the streets Thursday
afternoon and carried of about 800. He
was a very smooth talker and soon had
a crowd around him.
He fret told them that he wanted
their money aud he was going to get it ,
and then he started - cell sone old
spoons. He said: These spoons are
not pure silver nor are they washed in
silver, they are nothing brt old spoons. "
He sold several spoons Tor 81, aud then
gave the purchaser e. back. Several Of
Salem's young men thought he was
easy" and when he told them he was a
goodEellow and asked every body to give
him dollar, they more than threw the
money at him. He said: "You people
think | am going to give this money
back don't you and they all said yes"
He said. "Now IL throw
this money in the street or
buy beer with it or do any
thing | please with it, will you all be
perfectly satisfied" Every body said
they would, Then he said, "I am go.
ing TO show you how to make = boy
disappear inside Of two minutes" and
upon this be took q small boy aud jumped
into rig near by and told the driver to
whip up, >" and then turned around aud
waved farewell TO the astonished crowd
II is said some OF Salem's most promi /.
nent men bucked up against him. His
game has appeared in the news papers
several times, and the ones that we're
caught say they will pay more attention
10 the papers after this. The fakir is
free from arrest ss he first procured a
"hawkers" license. He took the local
train south, where he will probably con.
tinue TO sell HE nice little spoons, rope in
