OBITUARY
GEORGE FREDERICK

George Frederick, for many
years airbrake inspector for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. died
very suddenly last Thursday
afternoon at Delaware Hospital
whittier he was hurried by the
Company physician following a
sudden attack of acute indigestion.
He seemed as we'll as usual about
2 o'clock that afternoon and chatt-
ed pleasantly with those in the
office at Wilmington. In about
half hour he was stricken and died
within a few hours.
Mr.. Frederick was born SO years
ago in New Orleans, La. When
that city was taken by the North
during the Civil War, he was at
tracted to the naval vessels guard
ing the city and the youthful spirit
of adventure led him to join the
Navy. He served with the Union
forces until the close Of the war.
Soon after this he entered the en-
ploy of the Pennsylvania Railroad
whose interests he has served for
40 years. He expected to retire
the first of next June and was
planning for the retirement period
with the same interest and en-
thusiasm which has characterized
every act of his life.
He was a member of the Man
haitian Club of New York and had
a wide circle of friends who at
tested their high regard for him in
numerous ways. A large delega-
tion from the above club and fell
low workmen in the Wilmington
offices and elsewhere attended the
funeral which was held at his late
home on Depot Road last Monday
afternoon.
Mr.. Frederick moved his family
to Newark about nine years ago.
They have identified themselves
with the life of the community and
have made hosts Of friends who
sympathize with the family in their
great sorrow.
He is survived by his wife, one
daughter, Miss Edith, teacher in
the Wilmington public schools and
one son, Louis, who resides at

Interment was made at River
view cemetery.

NEW CENTURY CLUB
TO NOMINATE OFFI-
GERS NEXT WEEK
DR.. F. M. K. Foster Discusses
Modern Novel at Yester-
days Meeting

At meeting of the New Gen.
tury Club yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Finley M. K. Foster address
ed the members of the club.
on the subject of Modern Novels.
DR.. Foster told the components of
the novel, showed how it differs
from other forms of writings, and
outlined the things which it tries
to do.
The speaker decried the fact
that the Modern Novel is being put
to uses other than those for which
it was intended. There is ten
dency on the part of many novel
lists to make a point in a novel
which should ordinarily be told in
essay form. "The Great Desire" "
by the American novelist, Alex
ander Black, is an example of this
tendency. This book has all the
characteristics of the modern
novel, and, in addition, tries to
answer the question what is the
Great Desire?"
DR.. Foster classes "The Return
of the Native" by Thomas Hardy
as one of the greatest novels ever
written.
The meeting next Tuesday viii
be the annual nomination of off
GERS. A large attendance is there
fore expected. Music and curren
events will also be a feature.
On the following Tuesday, Ma.
18, Mrs. S. C. Mitchell will Civ

Thomas Nelson Page who has beel
secured by Delaware College t
deliver the commencement addres
this year.
