low citizens, and it was generally felt
that he was destined in the future to
be man Of great prominence. Neal
Dow was especially interested at this
time in the advocacy by James Ap-
pleton Of legislative measures prohib-
iting the making or sale of intoxi-
cants in Maine. In S37 Mr.. Apple
ton had presented report to the
Legislature in favor of these prohibi-
tive measures and the cause was
warmly embraced by Neal Dow.
Though he toiled laboriously to have
Mr.. Appleton'S resolution embodied
In law, yet his efforts were for a
long time without avail, and it was
in 1851 that he finally was successful.
On the breaking out of the war Mr..
Dow felt it his duty to go to the
front, and December 81, 1861, he
was appointed Colonel of the Thir-
teenth Maine Volunteers, and with
his regiment he joined Gen. Buffers
expedition to New Orleans. Here he
served with great bravery and proved
military leader of ability and skill.
He was always a great friend Of Gen.
Butler and upon the latter's death
short time ago he delivered an elo-
quent address in praise Of the great
leader April 2S, 1862, Col Dow was
appointed Brigadier General of Vol
unteers and placed in command of the
forts at the mouth of the Mississippi
and afterward Of the whole district
Of Florida. The next year in the at
tack on Fort Hudson he was wounded
twice and while lying in a house near
by was taken prisoner. Eight months
If imprisonment at Libby Prison and
Mobile followed, during which he
suffered greatly He was then ex-
changed, and November 30, 1864, he
resigned. Gen Dow'S military career
was brave and gallant and such as to
give him national reputation. He
mas always been proud Of it and only
last year he delivered a stirring and
patriotic address before the veterans
Of the regiment which he led to the
field.
The passage Of ohe restrictive liQ-
uor bill in Maine has not been the only
this direction. In 1851, '66 and "a.
he went to England at the invitation
Of the United Kingdom Temper
ance Alliance, and in all the large
cities delivered addresses before en-
thusiastic audiences As the years
have passed on his zeal in this chosen
field has increased and become even
more ardent. By speeches and news
paper articles he has endeavored to
win popular approval of prohibitive
legislation, and all over this country
and Canada, as well as in England.
has his voice teen heard in advocacy
Of his favorite measure.
In 1880 Gen. Dow was candidate
for President Of the United States on
the ticket Of the Prohibitionists and
received 0,305 votes. He is man
whose influence has been and is wide
ly felt, and one who is honored and
respected by all.

A Hyena Sniclde.

A remarkable case of attempted
suicide by a hyena has come to light.
Last Friday evening rs A. l.. lIoIton,
the veteran animal trainer who has
charge of the Robinson menageric.
was passing around among his fierce
pets in the Poplar street barn he heard
a peculiar sornd as of a beast tapping
in the hyena. tgc, aud it being long
past feeding "ac he set out to investi-
gate. 4
He was astonished to find that the
handsome striped hycua had cut its
own throat with its sharp claws and
stood there eagerly tapping up the
blood which flowed in steady stream
from its throat. 1t had bled till the
whole floor of the cage was red. The
rich stream was flowing much faster
than it could be apped up, aud the
excited beast was becoming weaker
ard weaker, SO that it staggered as it
Tapped its own life current.
Tearing away the Stats of the cage
Holton grabbed the beast by the hind
legs and in twinkiug drew a gunny
sack over its body, contining it. Then
he tied its legs and lastly cut the sack
away from the beasts head and dressed
the wound. Luckily the arteries were
not cut and probably the animal will
recover. To prevent the further
laceration of the wound the claws of
the hyena were bound in muslin,
which was then soaked IN varnish so
the animal could not tear it away. 1t
was then placed in a small box on
bed of hay, where, lis fierce madness
being soothed, it is now lying more
dead than alive. Mr.. IIollon said to a
Times-Star maI that he believes the
benst deliberately tried to commit sui
eide, as it is very old and is no doubt
tired Of life in the narrow cage. 1t is
a well-known fact that if hyena
scratches leg so that blood flows it
will gnaw the leg off and chew at tho
stump till it falls dead with tho loss of
blood. Probably in scratching its
neck tho animal. in the present in-
stance, drew blood, and tasting it, was
seized with the desire for more. They

The huanaco, which is small

of repairing to some lonely, deserted
