Discipline Needed In the Rock Island Team
Yesterday game served to confirm
what has been the opinion of many
local patrons of the game for some
time-that course of discipline is
needed by the Rock Island team.
Not only a little enforcement of the
same rules that will make n man
earn his money in any other avoca-
ton. but few injections of the
elixir of life would serve good pur-
pose. Rock Island is too good ball
town to be obliged to submit to such
treatment on the part of players who
can. but will not. do better. The re-
leasing of good men for other cities
to sign will not. in the judgment of
The Argus. produce the desired re-
suits. What is needed is some bench
ing without pay for those who are
drawing salaries for horse play. The
present team can be made to play
better ball. and il Manager Donnelly
will take the bull by the horns and
see that every man gives a proper
account of himself. he will find the
public back of him. Make all your
men play ball for Rock Island. DON
nelly, or see that they do not play
anywhere.

PAlLlPPINE DEBATE

CulbersOn Of Texas Believed
to bo tho Right Man.
New York, Jan. ao.-A special
to the Sun from Washington says:
II the Democrats of the Senate
make good their promises. there
will be lively and prolonged politi-
cal debate over the Philipplr es tariff
bill reported to tne Senate to-day
by MIR. Lodge, chairman Of the
Philippines committee. The mino-
rity report, presented by Senator
Rawlins Of Utah. embodying the
Democratic declaration of princi-
Piles on the general Philippines
question, is the result of numerous
party conferences at which the abb
solute necessity in the Senate of a
Democratic leader who will lead
and a platform of principles that
unlfy the party in the Senate and
IN the country was conceded. 1t
is now declared that the desired
issue has been found and that the
leader will appear during the course
of the debate and the rank and file
are entirely sanguine Of being able
to demonstrate to the country that
the Republican party is split in
twain on the Philippines question.
The Democrats expect that they
will get several Republicans for
their substitute measure and that
the Democrats will vote solidy in
favor of it.
1t was at first thought that there |
would be only perfunctory dis
cussion Of the bill reported to- day,
and that the real party fight would
come up on the measure now under
in the Philippines
of both house, providing

government Of the
stands. After consultation, how
ver, the Democrats decided to
eize the first opportunity to make
n issue with their political oppo-
lents and to prove to the country
hat at least the Democrats OF the
United States Senate have a bind

nd efficient leaders. No formal .
holce Of a leader has yet been 5

thought to be the man who .

served by the dedication OF the battle

Stony Point is small rocky pro-

the beautiful effects shown by one
bought at store. Any boy or girl Of
even ordinary ingenuity can make 1t,
and 1t will be likely to give all the
more enjoyment from the fact that it
Is made at home.
Get a glazier to cut you three strips
of glass ten inches long by two inches
wide. Tie them together triangularly
with stout thread. Then cut a piece
of partly transparent paper so that it
will fit over one end of this prism,
leaving narrow edges to lap over.
Paste this on with mucilage or -four

1t for the other end. except that 1t
must be of paper that is entirely
Opaque.
In the center of this Opaque end cut
round hole trifle larger than a

Now cover the sides OF the apparatus
with paper like that used for the eye
piece and the Kaleidoscope is finished.
Put few pieces of colored glass or
some beads in, through the hole made
for the eye, and turn the thin paper
end to the light. Then, with your eye

Music From a Glass Tube,

II is well known that the song OF
a small bird can be initiated to per-
lection with glass tube by rubbing
the outside of the tube with a small
piece Of soft cork. BY using a glass
tube of q Inch diameter and "a inches
length and widening one end Of it
over an alcohol frame to form the
mouthpiece, a musical instrument can
be created the sound of which re-
minds one of the powerful tone Of
trombone. For that purpose we roll
sheet of drawing paper around the
tube and close one end of 1t. This
double tube is amply sufficient to
make good trombone, the sound Of
which Is very deep. BY showing the
paper tube over the glass tube the
tone gets higher, and vice-versa. It
is not very hard to play on 1t. Every
amateur can become an artist after
q little practice.
