A SISTER OF Ex-MAYOR PECK.
Death Of Mrs. Abbie Peck Lee. at Grip
MIA CraaL

Death Of Mrs. Abbie Peck Lee, at Grip
pie Greek.
New Britain, Feb. 19.--A telegram
was received Sunday morning, an.
nouncing the death by pneumonia, al
Cripple Creek Colorado, on Friday
night, of Mrs. Abbie Peck Lee widow
of the late Isaac N. Lee.
This announcement will bring grief
to many relatives and friends Mrs
Lee was lady of beautiful Christian
character, whose gentle, benefcent and
winning ways attracted and retained
the love Of those who knew her. She
was the beloved superintendent of the
primary department of the Sunday
school of the First church continuously
from 1855 until she left town in 1898.
Mrs. Lee was the daughter of Elna-
than Peck, man of large business in
terests in this community in the early
years of this century. She leaves one
son, Henry N. Lee of Cripple Creek. 1t
is remarkable that in her fathers fam
lily of nine children only one death, that
of an infant in 1S43, has preceded the
death of Mrs. Lee. The survivors are
Charles Peck Mrs Walter H. Stanley,
Mrs. William H. Hart and Mrs. Mar
tin S. Wizard of New Britain, and ex-
Mayor Henry f. and John M. Peck of
New Haven, and Oliver D. Peck of Chi

HUMORS OF ORGAN BLOWERS
1.-The service went very we'll this
morning, sir" the pumper will say to
you when you are changing your Shoes
If you are a new conner it is hardly
likely that he will feed your vanity by
favorable comparison with your prede-
cessor. "Ah! e could play, e could he
will assure you, with meaning empha-
sis on the mangled pronoun. One case
| have heard of was that of an organlst
who went back for a Sunday to his for
mer post and his former blower. well,
John" said the organist to the veteran,
chow are things going here?" Very
bad sir-werry bad" was the reply
why, when you worked this ere nor
gin it used to be quite treat when the
Psalms was on, and you comes to one OF
them there verses about and the thu11-
der roared,' or that one about and the
Lord awakened out Off is sleep like

didn't I just ave to go it then! But
now I can just sit down easy like, and
give 'arf stroke now and agin; none O

make when you was ere. There amt
much pleasure in the service now, sir"
That blower evidently liked a sweat
Therein, I must admit, he was singular
among blowers. They are well repre-
scented by that member of the fraterni-
ty who was uttering his last feeble
words to his minister. would you
mind, sir, asking our organist to play
the Dead March over me?" ventured
the sick man. ''Of course I will, Chap
man. said the parson. 'Thankee, sir;
but, mind, none of that ERE tWeedledum
Beethoven, you know, sir; only Han
dels." The minister said he felt sure
that the organist would give effect to
his erstwhle Assistants" desire. The |
old man lay placidly for awhile, and
then exclaimed with fervor: There is
one good thing-I shan't have to blow
it."
There is good deal Of humor most
ly unconscious, about blowers. The |
wife of little country church blower
had died rather suddenly, and the vicar
went to condole with the bereaved hus-
band. Nov, tell me bow it happened"
said the vicar "Well,, sir she was bad, |
and 1 went off for the DOCTOR four miles |
away, and when 1 gets there he was
gone off somewhere else; so l turns |
back and in coming home remembered |
/ had a bottle of medicine which he guy !
me last year, so, says I, THAT will do !
for the missus'; so she takes it and |
dies" Then, lighting up his pipe, the |
old blower added: Wasn't it a good !,
