is the result of these long and patient
stages, some vestiges of the old brute life
still remain, as seen in the existence of
crime and the qualification of the lower
brute instincts and passions. Evil, how
ever, is simply mperfection-only linger-
ing barbarism. This, then, said the
speaker | take to be the kingdom of God
namely, the constant progress which
man is making The kingdom of God is
not and cannot be other than the kingdom
of man. The old creeds make the divine
action here in the world partial action
there the divine action is universal. God
ruleth over all. But to say that all things
are of God is not to say that all things
are equally divine. | believe that
some things are more divine, relatively
than others. All forms of life represent
to us degrees of being, deriving their eX-
istence from the one Interchangeable divine
Source of being. So there are degrees of
perfection, forms of life rising higher and
higher, and beyond them still, unattained
degrees, losing themselves ut last in the
Divine Perfection. 1t is, then, il God
quickened world III which we live. Every
thing is sacred.
In order that we may know ourselves as
subjects of the kingdom of God, we have
not TO bClicpe anything; we have not to
90 through any process or experience of
grace. Because we exist we are subjects
OF Goa s Kingdom we are porn INTO
the divine citizenship; we are members of
the kingdom whether we will orr no. When
God loves he loves eternally. Our duty
and privilege is to do well the things
which we are appointed and fitted to do
and thus shall we advance the kingdom
Owing to the lateness of the
hour at the conclusion of Rev
Mr. Applebee's discourse, Rev. Dr.
Atwood, who was to have made an
address, excused himself, and the eXerci-
SEES were closed with singing by choir
and congregation.

WOULD DROWN HIMSELF.
An Unknown Man Huris Himself into
Sylvan Water, but is Rescued.

About 8 o'clock last night an unknown
man walked hurriedly on the Rock Island
bridge over the slough, rushed to the rails
ing and without word or warning jumped
headlong into the water below. A flsh~
erman named Henry, with skiff in the
vicinity saw the man passing through the
air and heard the splash of the water.
Pulling with might and main he reached
the spot where the would>be suicide en-
tered the water and upon his rising to
the surface grabbed and pulled him into
the sklff and conveyed him to the water
works building, where Officer Carey found
him and conveyed him to the Armory,
where he remained over night, and
still is. At the waterworks, he was
taken into the furnace room that
his clothes might dry and here he was
noticed to throw something into the fur
mace which was quickly consumed BY fire.
What it was he refused to say, nor would
he give his name nor home. His only
desire seemed to be to kill himself.
An ARGUS reporter attempted to con-
verse with him this morning, but he still
refused to talk. He appears to be about
thirty years of age, of German national
itv. lioht complexion, and wears a
blonde mustache. He is neatly dressed
in woloen suit. He appears to have been
under the influence of liquor at the
time the rash act was committed, which
may account for it.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Chief Kess-
Ter came lover from Davenport. BE
knew the stranger by sight and he gave
his name to him as Joseph Wagner, who
| lives in East Davenport.

BURGLARS AT MOLINE.
Three Houses Visited, and Small
Amount Of Booty Taken. +"

Between midnight Sunday and o'clock
yesterday morning, Moline was treated to
series of burglaries something which
that usually quiet berg is wholly unac>
customed to, and although the marauders
did not succeed in getting much booty.
they got away with what they did get
and have so far eluded capture.
The residence of John L. Heney, 1914
Seventh avenue, was entered through a
window, the house transacted from cellar
to garnet, a pair of new pantaloons, a
silver watch and d dollar in cash taken,
besides what the villains could find IN
the eatable line in the cellar.
II. G. Farnum's house, corner
of Sixth avenue and Twentyofifth street,
was visited the same night, and the burg
lars got off with a dress coat, pair of
pantaloons and 81 in cash The coat
was new and of checkered cloth
The scoundrels also went through the
residence of Gottfried Tubah, on Seventh
avenue near Twenty second street. but
were discovered by Mrs. Tubah, who,
however, was too much frightened to
awaken her husband, but the burglar
seeing that she had seen him, decamped
As near as Mrs. Tubah can describe the
man, is tall, wearing fur cap, and dark
mask over his eyes.
Last night the same gang attempted to
enter the house of George Loddle, presi>
dent of the Moline Gas company, but Mr..
Loddle discovered them and fired at them.
The burglars few, returning the fire. On
the street they ran straight into two po>
licemen, but escaped. Moline seems to
be infested with burglars, and the police
don't seem to be able to catch them.

Red Mana Uay.


This is st. Tammanys day, and it IS
the gladdest day of all the year to the
society of Red Men. Consequently o.
Sau -Kee Tribe OF Rock Island will cele-
brate it with all due respect. There will
be grand street parade in the evening,
followed by ball and other festivities at
the wigwam. The Indian chieftain, whose
anniversary is honored today, lived in
New York century ago, and died there
at the ripe old age of one hundred years.
For his well known virtues at the time of
the American struggle for independence,
he was humorously chosen the patron
saint of the new country. Several secret
societies were organized under his auspi
ces, and the Red Men still live in his
honor.
The procession will form on Second
avenue near the Wigwam at 7:30 this ev-
ening, and headed by Bleuer's band in
full uniform, will pursue the following line
of march; From Second avenue to Fifth
street, thence south to Third avenue,
thence to Ninth street, following the lat
ter street to Fourth avenue, to Twen-
tieth street, north to Second avenue and
along the avenue to the wigwam, where
the procession will disband, and the ban.
ouet will take place. 0-Sau>Kee Tribe
will appear in full regalia, eighty-five
strong, under command of Chief of Rec.
ords Henry. Osceola Tribe, of Daven-
port, has been invited to participate, and
will probably send . delegation, and it is
likely the whole tribe will come over and
! take part in the festivities.
