moned on high all that was earthly of the
popular young gentleman. the call
came ut 10 o'clock and he was ready 10
answer the summons, having always lived
manly and upright life. Diabetes was
the prime cause of his death, which neces.
sarily made il a lingering one, he having
been enforced TO ideness for the past six
months. Shortly after the disease made
its appearance he was advised TO take o
trip TO the west, hoping to find relief
there, but the seeds of death had already
been planted and he came home where
the tender hands of true and loving wife
administered to his needs. But all that
human hands and the best of physicians
could do proved of no avail and death
came at last as a sweet relief to his suffer
inRs,
MIR. Delp's death, although not wholly
unexpected, is a sad blow to his widow
relatives and friends, the latter being
without number, as few people could
boast of having as many. To know him
was to love him.
For a number of years past Mr.. Delp was
closely identified with the Young Mems
Democratic Club, being the recording sec
retsry at the time of his death. His vacant
seat at the club rooms will be readily
noticed, as a meeting without him in at
tendance always brought out the query
members of this organization will be
dimmed with tears when the announce.
ment of his death is read tonight. One
of his dying requests was that the club, in
company with the Junior Order of Amer
lean Mechanics and the Beneficial So
ciety OF the Safe Works, turn out at his
funeral. The Y. NJ. d. G. will hold
q special meeting Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock to make the necessary
arrangements,
Me-. Ocp was employed at the SAFE
Works and was an active member Of that
establishments organization mentioned
above. lie has been a member OF the
American Mechanics for a number of
years and a notice has been issued calling
meeting of that order also.
The deceased was born and raised in
this city, being son of Mrs. Catbarine
Delp, who sJill resides in the same house
where Louis was born, on South Walnut
street. At the time of his death he was q
years of age. Beside leaving a widow,
his mother, two sisters and one brother
survive him, with whom his many friends
will mingle their tears. Mr.. Delp was
marriedto Miss Maggie Yant last June and
has resided on Lawrence avenue since.
The life of this young man was always
one of usefulness and it can truthfulIy
be said that the world was better for his
having lived in il. He was large hearted
anu IllObt III uttu DdI never al occasion
to make a second appeal TO him for aid.
With heads bowed down, his death will be
mourned by many.
The life OF Mr.. Delp was worthy OF en-
ulation, and if carried out strictly 70 the
letter would make model man.

The funeral over the remains of the
late Louis Delp took place Monday at 2
L. n
avenue.
Long before that hour the honse was
crowded with relatives and friends of the
departed who gathered to pay their re-
spects TO his memory. Soon after, the
sounds of a muliied drum were heard in
the distance, telling that Fialla's Military
Band, the Young Mems Democratic Club,
the Junior Order of American Mechanics,
and the Safe Works Benefit Society, were
also on their way to pay tribute TO their
departed brother. They halted before
the house of mourning. and after prayer
by Rev. Strassner, the remains were
boVne 80 the funeral car and the solemn
procession moved slowly to the Reform
ed church, where an appropriate SER
mcn was preached by Rev. Strass-
ner, the pastor, the church choir rem
derIng sweet hymns daring the service.
Rev. Strassuer's remarks were touching.
An opportunity was then given to take a
last look at his we'll known features. The
parting of his widow mother, brother and
sisters and other relatives was very
touching and fearless eyes were few.
The line was again taken up and the
cortaSe proceeded to Westlawn cemetery,
where the marble like form OF the be-
loved young man was hidden beneath the
green sod OF that city OF the dead. After
the beautiful funeral services OF the
