The Rev. George W. Harrod, rector of
st. Barnabas's Episcopal Church, Burling-

after an illness of a week. Death was due
to pleuro- pneumonia, which resulted from
severe cold contracted while he was at
tending funeral two weeks ago. News
of his death was announced to the city
that evening by the tolling of bells. Mr..
Harrod became rector of st. Barnabss's
Church In 1888, and his continuous service
of nearly eighteen years has been marked
by unusual success. He was closely con-
nected with the work for the moral better
ment of the city, and the news Of his death
was received with general regret in the
community. He was So years old and un
married.
The person who should happen to make
the statement, in the hearing of any Of. the
members of Main street family. that
dumb animals cannot think must expect
a storm of protest. The pet cat Of the
family in question has been able, for some
time, to let himself out of an enclosed
stairway, in which he is occasionally shut
up, by reaching out and raising the latch
with his paw. The family regarded this
a great feat and were never tired of shuts
ting the cat up in the stairway for the en-
joYment of visitors. and he never failed
to open the door and appear purring, ap-
parently enjoying the fuss made over him.
Recently, he was shut up in the kitchen
of the house, the door of which opens
with an old fashioned latch, about three
feet from the floor. The family in the adj
joining room were startled to hear the
click of the latch, see the door open and
. the cat walk out. He was again shut in
! and watched from window, and 1t was
| found that he would jump up and strike
the latch with his paws. two or three at
tempts being necessary before the door
/ would open. As the cat sat on the steps
and reached the latch of the stairway door
without jumping. it seems evident he was
able to reason that since he could open 6
| door when he could reach the latch, ht
could do the same with another door ever
e II the latch had to be jumped for. TIL,
: family is very proud of that cat.
