"I was a policeman in Portland when Gen. Neal Dow was mayor of the city in 1854," said a Main street man on Thurs­ day. " "A man had been abusing his wife on Pearl street and the mayor had per­ sonally instructed me to gp down anc. arrest the man and be sure and bring his bottle along with th& prisoner, too. The mayor came into the municipal court the next morning and requested that the bottle be brought in and tried with the man. The man pleaded guilty to kicking over the table and swearing at his wife, but stuck to it th&t he had not been drinking. The mayor took the bottle and placed it on the table in the court­ room and the prisoner fixed his eyes 011 it and admitted that he had drunk out Of it. When the man wae> sent to the jail Mayor Dow took the bottle along him­ self and. requested the turnkey to place thfe flask just outside the cell door where the prisoner could see it and it stood there two months. He begged to have the bottle broken or removed. Once when the door was opened/he made a dash with his. foot to break it, but did not succeed. When that man was released he perfectly hated the sight of a whisky bottle and : to my certain knowledge he never tasted a drop of liquor afterward till his death in 186-4 of consumption."
