MISS GOCKEL WILL
 BE IN FESTIVAL
FORMER PUPIL OF PROF. GUCKEN- BERGER WILL PLAY WITH THE THOMAS WORCESTERSHIRE HAS ACHIEVED SUCCESS ABROAD.

Miss Edna Gocke1, who was MT. Ben and theory teacher at the Conservatory of music but who has been studying in Berlin with the Scharwenkas for two years past, will return to Birmingham the first week in April and will play Schar- wenkas c sharp minor concerto with the Thomas orchestra on the second night of the music festival. She will remain here and succeed MT. Guckenberger as direc- tor of the conservatory. This business was arranged by cable.
 Miss Gockel received propositions on Tuesday to take charge of the Conserva- tory and to be one of the soloists at the festival, and she cabled her acceptance yesterday. It had been her purpose to remain another year in Berlin, but her friends say that the opportunity now of fered to enter upon permanent work at the head of an established institution was such that she could not in justice to herself, resist
 MT. Guckenberger said last night that Miss Gockers coming would enable him to give up the Conservatory work sooner than he had expected. He will probably leave Birmingham for Springfield. Mass where he and Mrs. Guckenberger will make their home, immediately after the festival.
 Miss Gockel can easily count on an ovation at the festival She was bril- liant pianist before she went abroad. She has worked hard in Berlin, taking piano lessons from Xaver Scharwenka and theory from Philip scharwenka. At aL recent perform ance of this new con- certo-the sharp minor-she played with such fine temperament and all round virtuosity that Raven Scharwenka em- braced her on the stage.
 Mr. Guckenberger is naturally very proud of Miss Gockel. for he had been her only teacher until she went to Europe. She began taking lessons from him in Cincinnati and came to Birming- ham that she might continue her studies with him. She played a concerto with Mollonbauer's Boston Orchestra at one of the earlier festivals. She was brilliant and artistic then, but her playing this year should easily surpass any of her Birmingham performances, because she has done nothing but practice and study under Berlin's greatest teachers. The Scharwenkas, by the way, were MT. Guckenberger's masters for two years.

them will be cottages; but a much bet ter class of work on the small houses is being done now than was the rule two or three years ago.
 Architect T. U. Walter, on being asked what he thought would be a fair average of the cost of the houses that would go up this year, said he was inclined to think 5000 would come pretty close to 1t. An other architect said he would state the average at 5000. Another placed 1t as high as s3O00. But if Mir Walter he cor rect in his estimate, and if four thousand houses be built, the good, big sum of s4OOoOOo will be paid for material and wages.
 MT. William c. Weston, the architect of the Title Guarantee steel frame build ing at the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-irst street, and supervising ar chitect of the Woodward office building, said the number of costly mercantile houses built this year would be so much greater than ever before that 1t would transform the appearance of the business portion of Birmingham. He said that no plans had been made for building on the McDonald site on Second avenue so far as he knew, but he felt sure that a sky scraper of some description would be un- der way there before the end of the year.
 The ten or twelve prominent business men who purchased the Mcdonald prop erty a few months ago. have not yet or ganzed themselves into stock company but 1t is their purpose to do so at an early day.

DESIGNS BEING DRAWN
 FOR PALATIAL HOUSES

Among the palatial houses that will be in course of construction within the next few months, are three now being designed for the beautiful site at the corner of Highland avenue and Oleander street, which Is a continuation of Twenty-sixth street. This property was bought recent ly from the Realty Company by MT. M. V. Joseph, Henry Bernard and Sam Ad- Ter and these three prominent citizens will each build himself home in con formity with a general scheme that will insure a picturesque and artistic group ing. The three houses with the work of parking the grounds will cost upwards of $50,0 The houses will be of brick and bI own stone.
 MT. A. L. Fulenwider, president of the Realty Company in speaking of the houses which MT. Joseph, MT. Bernard and MT. Adler will build said other ele- gant and costly residences would soon follow. There will be a great deal of building both on the South Highlands and on the North Highlands, A number of very stylish residences will be erected on Twelfth avenue north.
 Architects and contractors say that more building Is being planned for this year than in any former year in the his- tory of Birmingham. There were 1900 houses built in Greater Birmingham last year. Conservative estimates place the number which will go up in the next twelve months in Birmingham and the suburbs, including Ensley. at 4000.
 While many of these houses will cost high up in the thousands, the majority of
