cHiMPANZEE CAUSED FURRY

When He Appeared in Lobby Attired
 in Mems Evening Clothes.

New York, Feb TIA huge chim- panzee fashionably attired in a suit of mems evening clothes, strolled into the lobby of the Knickerbocker hotel at the dinner hour tonight. The api- nal behaved decorously and attracted no particular attention until a woman guest of the hotel notices it's face. She screamed. Many other women joined in the chorus.
 Police reserves and patrol wagon
 were called and some of the hotel em ployes wanted to send in a fire alarm. Several policemen arrested the chim-
 pahzee and escorted it to the patrol
 wagon The driver saw it's face and
 announced he was through for the night. A police captain called for vol
 unteers and several animal lovers
 agreed to escort the prisoner to ttN West Thirtieth street station house. The wind was cold and on the way the champanzee had chill. Two o1 three of the volunteers fell off thE wagon when he began to manifest hi discomfort by shrill screams. Arrived at the police station, the champanzee astounded the lieutenant in charge b leaping up on the desk and from there to a radiator, where it perched con- tentedly while police matron faint ed.

There was memorial service Sunday in the Road church, for a former pas tor, Rev. John Otis Barrows, who died recently in Norwich Town. A large congregation was in attendance The memorial sermon was preached by Rev. Joseph L. Peacock of Westerly who serves as supply, the church be- ing without regular pastor.
 Rev. MT. Peacock, said in his ad- dress:
 There came a man, sent from God whose name was John"
 To eulogize the deeds and preserve the memories of those who either in peace or war have contributed to their country's welfare has ever been re- garded as privilege and duty. Pos- sibly the desire of inspiring an am- bition to emulate noble lives is re- sponsible for the custom. It is certain that a veneration for the lofty ideals of one whom we have known is con- ducive to emulation.
 For that reason we substitute for the regular sermon this morning a few words of tribute to the memory o1 your former and beloved pastor, Rev John Otis Barrows This service is not to be considered sad one, rather a joyful one. We are to speak of the things that made MT. Barrows z burning and shining light" in thi. community and in other places
