NEW LIBRARY HOME,
Purchase of Site on Nineteenth

by the Board.
DESIRABLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

Avenue and ProcuraDle at u Cost OF
$500 Expense to be Raised by Special
Taxation-ApprovaI of the City CouuciI
VIII be Asked aud Plans Submitted.
All that is required now to secure
to Rock dsland a modern public
library building is the approval of the
city council of the action taken last
night by the directors of the library
board, who recommended the pur-
chase of the property at the southeast
corner of Fourth avenue and Nine
teenth street of NJ. NJ. Sturgeon at q
cost of SIS. 500. AS mentioned in last
nights ARGUS, the boards special
committee, G. L. Walker, Walter
johnson and c. j. Larkin. had OBJ
tanned an option on the site, believing
| it was the more desirable of those
available. The committees action
was unanimously concurred in by the
board, and the following resolution
adopted:
Resolved, That the report of the
special committee on the new library
building be approved. and further
Resolved, That it is the judgment
of this board that the property offered
us upon which to build a public
library at the southeast corner of
Nineteenth street and Fourth avenue
by NJ. NJ. Sturgeon for $500 and
known as lots l and 2. in block IS,
in Spencer & Cases addition to this
city, is the most desirable. taking all
things into consideration, and we
therefore recommend the acceptance
of his proposition, and do accept the
f.E hi nd
Resolved further, That the presi-
dent and secretary of this board take
the necessary steps to present the
matter to the. city council in proper
form ard ask its approving action.
There are two lots in the site, the
dimensions of which are 120 feet on
Fourth avenue by $50 feet deep. MIR.
Sturgeon offered the corner lot for
IS, 500 or the two for IS. 500. The
board favored the purchase of the
whole strip, feeling that when such a
building as is desired is completed,
there will not be any room to spare.
Money Easily Raised.
The cost of erecting the library will
be by special taxation. The law au-
thorizes levy for such purpose of
tax not exceeding mills on the dol
lar. The tax may be extended over a
period of 20 years. The members of
the board think it could be limited to
seven or eight years without making
it burdensome. They have devoted no
little study to the public library ques-
ton, and if they receive the encour
agement it is expected they will from
the councillor it is believed to be
almost the unanimous desire of the
people of the city that Rock Island be
in the front rank in the matter of q
library as in other public enterprises
they will provide a building that will
be credit to the city.
1t is necessary that plans and esti-
mates be submitted to the council be-
fore tax is levied, and to that end the
board hopes to soon invite plans from
Rock Island architects.
A member of the board tells The
ARGUS that he has heard of several
wealthy citizens who were thinking of
making donation to the library pro-
iect. He says the board is still open
to such offers, which would be gladly
re ceived.

New Enterprise.

The Diamond Garment Cutter. Peo-
pie are now organizing one of these
schools in this city for the pur-
pose of giving a complete in
struction and training in the cut
ting and fitting of all kinds of gar
ments. The splendid success of these
schools in other parts of the country
demonstrates the practical value of
their special line of education, and
the establishment of this school here
well certainly prove of great benefit
to all persons who are interested in
the art of dress. We have been shown
many testimonials from pupils of the
Diamond Garment Cutter system, and
take pleasure in publishing a few, be-
lieving that in so doing it will ad-
vance the interests of practical edu-
cation.

A ROOM FOR CHILDREN.
The Smithsonian Institution Prepar-
ing Special Exhibit for Them.

The smithsonian Institution Prepar-
ing "a Special Exhibit for Them.
The children's room in the Smithsonian
Institution is being renovated and re-
modelled, and in about months time will
be ready for the amusement and instruction
OF the little ones. The idea OF an exhibit
devoted entirely for the benefit Of children
originated with Prof. s. p. Langley Secre-
tary Of the Smithsonian Institution, about
four years ago. During this period Prof
Langley has interested himself in the 1e-
suits Of his project. and a few weeks since
determined 10 make some improvements in
the room and it's exhibits.
The windows of the room which is stu
ated directly opposite the main entrance Of
the building. have been enlarged and it
will hereafter be one of the best lighted
and most cheerful apartments in the
building. The walls will be attractively
decorated in frescO. and the cases. which
were Of the same size as those in the
other parts Of the building. have been
changed for ones more suitable to the
height of the little visitors. The labels OF
the collection Will also be made more
adaptable and interesting to children
There will also be a few changes made in
the collection itself. which is chiefly
archaeological, ana comprises those deni-
Zens Of the earth. sea. and air which
chiefly strike juvenile imaginatiOns. These
changes have not as yet however been de-
cided by Prof Langley, but they will con-
sist mostly Of supplementary illustrations
OF the existing collection, such as graphic
representa- lions Of the habits Of certain
beasts or birds. either by cOIOred prints or
the stuffed animals themselves arranged in
groups, with the proper surroundings,
illustrating their native abode, methods Of
procuring food, rearing young, etc
Such birds as the albatross. the pelica n
and the penguin, Will come in fer their fun
share of notice, and there will probably be
some rare varieties OF the latter species
owing to the splendid specimens acquired
through recent Antarctic exploration. The
gigantic crocodile will perhaps occupy. as
formerly, the most conspicuous position in
the exhibit, and the aquariums of gold and
silver fish viii still be an attractive feat
, ere.
The room is made more comfortable and
,ommodious by the closing Of the passage
way which formerly led through it, and the
substitution Of a solid wall for the open
doorway, in the rear. On the whole the
little folks viii feel, upon their next visit
70 this room, that their comfort and con-
venience have not been overlooked by the
Smithsonian Institution.
