GlDEONS CONDUCT
SUNDAY SERVICES
Several Speeches Made by Members Of
Organization at Christian
Church.

At the Memorial Christian church last
evening the Gideons had charge of the
service. About a dozen of them were
seated on the platform. and all made
brief speeches with reference to the
Organization to which they belong.
The GideOns consist of a band of
Christian travelling men. and they are
known to each other by the emblem
worn in their coat lapel-a pitcher.
This button is also intended to pro-
claim to the world the standing of the
man who wears ii. but, according to
the experiences related by some of the
speakers. the significance of the en-
blen is not generally known
The hour of services was given to
this dozen of travelling men. who told
of the good that had been accomplished
by the Gideons as they travel over the
country, of the prayer meetings held in
hotels where a number of them meet
in one place; of the young men who
have been helped and of the older men
who have been induced to go to church
after many years of absence.
Some of the speakers are residents
of Rock Island. and some of them hap
pened to be at the hotels here, and
were invited to participate in the ser
vices.

something to DO.

The student should be given some
thing to do as well as something to
learn: he said and in support of this
he quoted Prof. James, who said I'm

Improvement in education in years is
the addition of laboratory and shop

a fluency of meaningless words.
DR. Marquis said that the bringing
of all Classes of society together in
the school and training for the mutual
relations of life. is the schools great
est glory. and one of its chief advan-
tages He urged that the pupils re
spect only the aristocracy OF sound

lifting the pupils TO higher culture.
They redeem their higher natures
from material things"
The development of moral ideal
was stated by DIR. Marquis to be the
highest accomplishment of the school.
"A pupil should gain not only facts.
but an inspiration TO do something. not
only knowledge but high aspirations"
Continuing on this line. he said the

took his text from Proverbs 25:S: GO
not forth hastily for strife" He show
ed that all life is a strife, and pointed
out that men must struggle for life. for
food. for the secrets of nature. and to
keep what has been won. He wins
and wears the crown who battles for
it."
Preparation and Performance
Preparation is essential for per
formance" said DR. Marquis. and fol
lowing along this line. he showed that
each year of past growth is prcpara-
tion for this years life. In speaking
of preparation of school. he said that
this begins with the ability to gain
knowledge. knowledge was CLASH
fed as the material out of which wis
dom is built. He contrasted the civilized
men and the savage, showing that
while the savage may be stronger in
his own strength. he is sure to be de
feated, because of the advantage the
civilized man has in his education
In commenting on the derisiOn
of schools by some "selfmade men,"
the speaker said that there is no self
made man who has not all that he has
through education. if not IN the schools
then out them"
The world today needs not only
men of brains. but men of trained
brains" said the speaker. and he
showed the value of the knowledge of
the college trained men in every day
commercial life "The wealth of a
country is not so much in it's resources
as in the capability of its people to de-
velOp those resources. He spoke of
the telephone. the telegraph, and other
modern devices as ideas welded to
material"
The training of the mind to use the
knowledge which has been obtained
was given as the most important aim
of education 1T is better to think.
than to gather the thoughts of others"
said DR. Marquis. He commented on
the motto of the class, which means
Where you are. be all there" and
urged the graduates TO follow the prin-
ciple it sets forth.
In speaking of the training of the
schools, he said that the thing
he most severely criticized was the
possibility of getting out of eXamina-

Invalids Caught in Flood.

A Phoenix, Arizona, special says:
Light rain has continued to fall at in
tervals today adding to the already
flooded condition of the country. Last
night an area five miles square, north
west of Phoenix, was under water
from six inches to two feet, and in
places Is still standing. This over
flow was mainly caused by freshet
from Cave creek, which comes from
the mountain and sinks into the desert
above Glendale. Considerable dam
age has been done to farm crops and
irrigation bitches through broken
banks. One end of the food crossed
the west side of Phoenix, surrounding
many houses with water, but doing lit
tie damage excepting to a colony OF
invalids who lived in tents In the
suburbs, and who had to be carried
from their beds, which were surround
ed by water. Some OF them are very
i'll, and the experience may prove
fatal in one or two cases.

Several People Are Hurt.

Three policemen and two Hebrew
women were injured in a run on the
State Bank in Grand street, in the
heart of the business section of the
east side of New York, on Wednes-
day
The run was attended by some SEN
sational incidents. The 5000 persons
crowded about the bank became so in
sistent that they broke down an iron
railing around a light well in front OF
the building, and It was only by des-
perate clubbing on the part of the po-
lice that the excited and unruly mob
was prevented from forcing many of
its numbers into the well. The police
men and women were hurt at that
point. The emergency police detail of
the Delaney street station was final
ly called out, and policemen were sta
toned. at intervals of five or six feet
for two blocks on each side of the
bank.
Payment of depositors was made up
to 6 O'Clock at night. Officers of the
bank declare II is absolutely sound
and can pay 100000 at an hours
notice and that they received many
offers of help and declined most Of
them.

The accident occurred about thirty
miles south of Ration, N NJ, and was
due to the failure OF the freight crew

In the compartment car were cas-

Mrs. Mabel Dock OF Chicago. The car

The passenger train was heavily

The National Livestock association
was rent in twain at its session in Den

Charges Filed Asalns. Florida Judge.

The house of representatives on
Thursday devoted its entire session
to the discussion Of impeachment
charges against Judge Charles
Swayne of the northern district of
Florida. A dramatic incident occurred
when Mr.. Littlefield (Me) called on
Mr.. Lamar (Fla), who filed the
charges against the judge, to admit of
reputation of an alleged interview
which the former claimed tended to
incite the people to commit an act of
violence against Judge Swayne. Mr..
Lamar admitted giving an interview,
but emphatically denied any sugges-
ton from him that could be construed
into advising assassination or murder.
He said that, although Judge Swayne
was known to be the most lawless
man in Florida, he had remained free
from bodily harm.
