Death of Mas Mabel Father Teel.

Mr.. and Mrs. William s. Teel have the
sympathy CT a large circle OF friends and
aeQuaintances in the death of their young
est daughter Miss Mabel Esther Teel, which
occurred yesterday afternoon at their resi-
d<nee 1865 r street. The young girl was
just entering womanhcod. and her death.
coming after an illness of only five days
duration, was particularly sad. She was a
graduate of the High School and Of the
Normal School AMI had taught for a brief
Period. BY her hoclmates and friends
she was loved and respected. she de-
served to be, for. while she was Of a quiet
disposition and cared little for society, there
Was a depth and sweetness to her character
that made every one fond Of her. 1t s
said that no one ever heard "Essie Ieel
say an unki.ld word of any one. or knew
her to do a selfish act. Within her family
circle her real nobility showed forth at its
best. and her last word was a word OF love
for her mother.
Miss Teel was q member OF ST. Johns
Church, and was actively Connected with
the Bible class. to whose interests she de-
voted a great deal Of her time. In its mis-
sion work and hospital visiting she always
tcok a lively part, and for one so young
her life was peculiarly full of kindly
acts. To her own circle of intimates ner
ices will be held at ST. Johns Church on
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, and will
be conducted by Rev Mr.. Wood. the assist
ant rector, in the absence of Rev. Mr.
Mackay Smith. The pallbearers will all
be young men, who are schoolnates or
friends of the dead girl. The interment will
be private.
