AN ASSURED SUCCESS
Benefit Performance for Kirl1ley- Adams
 Monument Fund

The benefit performance of the grand spectacular, "The Naval Battle of Santi- ago." and fireworks display to be given to- morrow night for the benefit of the Kirk ley-Adams monument fund, under the auspices of the Police Protective Associa- ton, is now an assured success.
 The performance will take place at the corner of Tenth avenue and Nineteenth street, convenient to street cars and easy walking distance of the city. A large num- Der of tickets have already been sold, and it is believed that regular circus" crowd will be present.
 The success of the performance insures a fitting monument to the two brave off cers who sacrificed their lives in the dis charge of their duty, and the small cost of a ticket gives every citizen an opportunity to contribute to the fund.

ANOTHER HOTEL

 Stock Paid In
ON THE MCDONALD CORNER

It seems that instead of having one first class hotel, Birmingham will have two within the next year. The old shacks on the Mcdonald lot, corner Second avenue and Twentieth street, are to be torn down and replaced with a handsome ten-story hotel building. T. c. Mcdonald, former chief of police, who owns a majority in- terest in the lot, which is 10OX100 feet, has agreed to put the lot in as a part of the capital stock of hotel company. Inter ested with him are some of the best busi- ness men in the city, and it is stated on good authority that nearly enough money has already been subscribed to perfect the organization of the company
 The proposed building is to be ten stories high, and to be constructed on the most approved hotel plans. One of the promo ters of the company stated yesterday that $2OO,000 would be raised, and that that amount would go into the building.
 The company will probably be organized within the next week or two. The officers of the company have been agreed upon, the president being one of the best-known young business men in the city and a pub lie official.
