Abby D. Allen writes to The Bull 1etin from Fortress Monroe Va, as follows:
 It was my privilege and pleasure this morning of Palm Sunday to witness an interesting event at the Hampton Normal Institute. At II a. m. the bat talion of six companies with full band was reviewed by the major Among the attending visitors was a distin- guished one, Andrew Carnegie In his honor the band played the following Scottish airs. Annie Laurie and The Blue Bells of Scotland.
 MT Carnegie responded to the at tention. walking the entire length of the parade and uncovering to each company. Later the visitors attended service in the chapel. The Hampton choir of fifty mixed voices rendered in perfect harmony unaccompanied several beautiful hymns. At the close the students having filed out gave three southern selections among them be- ing Swing Low Sweet Chariot.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-04-07

day, the remainder of the meeting was turned over to a committee consisting of Mrs. s. Howard Mead, Mrs. Willis Rogers and Mrs. F. L. Lathrop, who were in charge of the programme.
 In the absence of Mrs. Mead, Mrs. Lathrop was in charge, and she gave very interesting sketch of Neal Dow's life, which in part follows:
 Neal Dow, the son of Josiah Dow, was born in Portland. Me. in 1904, in the house still standing on Congress street. When he was scarcely years old he made his first argument for pro- hipition. His father had an old fash toned silver watch which was too large to be carried, so he hung it on the wall. One day Neal took it down and succeeded in breaking it. His father rebuked him, but the little fellow re- piled that the watch should have been kept out of his reach, surely a good ar gument for removing temptation.
 Neal Dow was closely connected with the different business interests of Portland, and more than once he served the city as mayor. While may or of the city woman asked him to induce a certain saloon keeper not to sell her husband any more strong drink. When MT. Dow called, the sa- loon keeper replied that he had a h- cenSe to sell and that he should do so. From that time on MT. Dow determln- GU lO 1SnC TOT NIL DOn not only fought for prohibition but he fought for the freedom of his country, enlisting in the Civil war. He raised the Thirteenth Maine regiment and was commissioned brigadier general.
 General Dow died in 1897 at the age of 93 years and T. months.
 Mrs. Willis Rogers followed with a poem written on General Dow's life, and an interesting paper was read by Mrs. William c. Tarbox. In brief the paper follows:
 At a great Sunday school rally in Maine some time ago eight thousand children looked into the face of a man who asked: How many of you ever saw a drunken man." Only one child raised his hand. Because in March, 1904. Neal Dow was born, a bank di- rector, identified with large corpora tions and a conspicuous helper of his fellow men; a general in the army that served the union; because in 1851 he gay prohibition to the state of Maine, where for over 50 years it has defied every attempt of the liquor traffic to dislodge it.
 Other short sketches were given by several of those present.
 A letter from H. F. Palmer was read relative to the work of the local union and in which he gave them encourage ment.
 At the next meeting. as there are no red letter days, the members are re- queSted to bring 10 the meellnS some paper or magazine article of interest on temperance work.
 Mrs. Fields, local superintendent of the young peoples branch, reported that a new branch is to be opened in the First Baptist church on Friday af- ternoon, and she urged the meNbers who live in that section of the city to attend the organization. The meet ings of the new branch are to be held every other. Friday afternoon at four o'clock Following the collection. the meeting. adjourned
