BIG ADDITION IN
 MERCANTILE WAY Firm of Loveman, Joseph 6 Loeb Will Take New Building, PURCHASED SMITH BLOCK Which Will Increase the Capacity to Almost Double the. Present Size Building Will be Equipped
 With Modern Appliances.
PURCHASED SMITH BLOCK

Probably the biggest addition that Bir- mingham will have in it's mercantile inter- ests this fall will be the increasing of Lovefnan. Joseph & Loeb's great depart ment stores to nearly double their present size.
 This firm has purchased the Smith block, consisting of all the property between their present store in Nineteenth street and the corner of Third avenue. It is practically new building, 80 feet front in Nineteenth street by 200 feet front in Third avenue It will be remodeled entirely and added to their present great building, which is 60 feet front by 200 feet deep and four stories high. This will give Loveman, Joseph & Loeb practically one-fourth of the entire block.
 It will be the largest store in the entire south. Between the two buiidngss there will be arches and they will be practically made into one great building. The front of their new purchase will have mammoth plate glass show windows constructed at once. The new building will be fitted with all the modern appliances. It will be steam heated, new elevators will be put in, and it will be modern in every sense of the word
 Ahe III HI ol LoFeinah, JoSeph & Loeb has made record probably not equalled by any firm in the south. They started business in Birmingham in 1887 in a small store in Second avenue. They have expanded year by year, adding their profits to their busi- ness, until it has become one of the man. moth concerns of the south
 The firm is composed of three of the most enterprising business men in Birmingham, who are noted for the part they have taken in all public 1mproyements

OF FAYETTE CHURCH
Friends Want to Present Him Fifth Chap
 lain Wears HerSe.
RAISING THE NECESSARY FUNDS
Representative Bankhead Secured the Young Ministers Appointment, and Heads the Listo of Subscribers to
 Purchase Peacock for Him.

The Fifth immunes now have a chaplain, and along with this comes the news of a bare possibility that Peacock, the splendid horse of blighted hopes may yet rear his head at the sound of martial music.
 Rev. w. K. Simpson, pastor of the Meth- odist church, and correspondent of The Age-Herald at Fayette, Ala. has received his commission as chaplain of that regi- ment. Chaplain Simpson will leave at once to join his regiment, now stationed at San- tiago.
 The members of this regiment have been without spiritual adviser since Rev. Dr. R. D. Wear resigned that position and quilted them when about to sail from Sa vannah, Ga. Dr. Wear returned to Bir mingham to resume charge of the Cumber- land Presbyterian pastorate. Through cir cumstances directly surrounding his resig was the most talked of man in Alabama for several days.
 Rev. Mr Simpson is well known in Bir-
 
 mingham, having been pastor of St. Johns Methodist Episcopal church on the South Side for four years. His friends are nu- merous in this city, and several telegrams congratulating him on his appointment were sent last night.
 Peacoak May Be Rescued
 The splendid horse, Peacock, which was purchased from Chief of Police Mcdonald and given to former Chaplain Wear by admirers, may yet see more of the grim realities of military life. Since Peacocks return to Birmingham it has been said on one or two occasions that he would be sold. The friends and brethren of Rev. Simpson, of this city, are talking of buy ing the animal to present to the new chaplain of the Fifth immunes. There is not much time to be lost.
 Those having Peacock in charge were seen last night in regard to this matter but declared the animal would not be for sale until after the war had completely died out. From the best judgment of those familiar with horse flesh, it is said that Peacock does not desire an owner other than some officer in the service, and probably for that reason a civilian would not be allowed to become his master.
 However, it is thought possible that with proper diplomacy Peacock might be purchased for Chaplain Simpson. As soon as the news spread of the minister's ap- pointment a number of friends got to- gether and several manifested a desire to donate liberal amounts to the subscription fund.
 Bankhead Will Subscribe
 Representative Bankhead was instru- mental in getting the appointment for Rev. Simpson, who is pastor of the church in his home town. The representative was pleased at the suggestion that Peacock be presented to the new chaplain.
 "It will be nice compliment to the young man." said he, ''and I will go my part"
 Others said the same thing, and it is thought that by Monday the subscription list will assume formidable proportions. T "Rev. Simpson is a splendid young man" continued MT. Bankhead, "and his friends

ABOUT SEALSKINS.

There are many species OF seal. They
are found in the South Sea, at Cane
Horn. on the coast OF China and Japan.
on the northwest coast Of America, and
on the islands OF St. Paul and St. George
which arc located in the coolest climate
in the world. The pelts OF the seals
known as Alaska, caught on ST. Paul and
St. George Islands, arc stronger and their
fur denser than those caught elsewhere.
The skins taken from the warmer eli
mates OF Japan. China, Cape Horn, and
Lobus Island are more tender and the
iur less dense, aud. therefore, not as dur
able rs the Alaska SealSkinS.

The same style and size made from Alaska
Seal cannot be sold for less than 5000 70
$500, according to quality.
Almost ali sealskins arc dressed and

after being worn short time. 4 good

The difference in the cost OF an Alaska
Sealskin coat between Europe and
America is about 800. and this difference
is caused by the duty on the SKINS before
manufacture. This amount {. {.
