MUCH BUILDING
 FOR COMING YEAR
Increase of One Hundred Per
 Cent Over Last Year
MANY EXPENSIVE HOMES
Real Estate Men Estimate That From One End of Greater Birmingham to the Other Building Will Be
 Unprecedented.

From the statements offeal estate men and contractors there will be at least 100 per cent more building in Greater Bir- mingham this year than there was in 1902. This increase will be in the number of buildings and houses erected. and at the same time 1t Is reckoned on gain of at least 25 per cent in the prices paid for these buildings. This makes according to conservative estimates. an increase of 125 per cent in the amount of money which will be spent here this year.
 The president of the Birmingham Realty company said yesterday afternoon that the increase would surely be at least 100 per cent in the number of buildings erect ed. He made this estimate on the com panys sales of property to date. and those on which they were figuring. The sales this month certainly warranted the statement regarding the increase. A much better class of houses is being erected this year than last year. When asked where the most houses would be built the president of the Realty com pany stated that they would be seen from one end of Greater Birmingham to the other. He said that on South Highlands number of expensive houses are to be erected, and that on North Highlands a large number of lots are being sold. and more houses are being built than ever.
 William c. Weston, one of the leading architects of the city, was seen, and without knowing the estimates of the real
 f,. tt.,tl that there would be at least 100 per cent more houses erected than last year. He also said that in his drawings this year the plans call for an increase of at least 25 per cent in the quality of material and the sizes of the houses.
 MT. Weston stated that he had drawn plans for residence on Highland avenue to cost about s2o,OOO, and that no house he designed last year cost as much as that. He also stated that he understood another house of this price was to be erected this year, and that it was ru- nored a third very expensive one would be built.
 According to these men there is no limit to the territory where these buildings are to be erected. They state that many people who have been living on the North side about Fourth, Fifth and Sixth ave- nues find that business houses are en- croaching. on them, and that they will be forced to move farther out.
 A number of very nice houses are going up in the western portion of the city. and the suburbs are all increasing as rap | idly as the city proper.

PICTURE STORY OF
 THE FIRSTNAPOLEON
J. 4. MAcKNloHT, FORMER CON- suL TO ST. HELENA, GIVES lN- sTRUcTlvE LECTURE ILLUS TRATED WITH VIEWS.

As large an audience, perhaps, as ever assembled at the Jefferson theatre, repre- senting the highest culture of the city, gathered last night upon the occasion Of the presentation by James A. MacKnight of his picture-story of the life of Na- poleon for the benefit of the public H. brary.
 Introductory to the exercises of the evening chorus comprising nearly two hundred voices picked from the public schools sang some select pieces, which re- fiected great credit upon the youthful per- formers and their instruc ors, "The Song of the Viking and "Ti.a Clang of the Forge" being the numbers rendered. Mrs Laura Davids and Miss Vivian Gardner were the accompanies. and Miss Kitts was director.
 Dr. J. H. Phillips introduced the lec- turer in an appropriate speech, after which the lights were turned out. The pictures were thrown on the screen and the lecture proceeded. MT. MacKnight gave a concise sketch of the life of the famous Corsican from the cradle to the grave. He followed the pictures from point to point with remarks by way of explanation.
 He committed himself but little upon the many knotty questions that arise In the history of Napoleon, and contented himself with presenting the facts as they suggested themselves to him. He believed it was probable that had not Napoleon engaged the attention of the British In Europe that the eolonists could never have established the American republic, and that, therefore, we are Indirectly in- debted to him for the United States Of America He also claimed that Napoleon 8 policies and military achievements made the German empire possibility 1T not a necessity, and that the French people were greatly benefited by his internal ad- ministration It was proven more and more as the years rolled by that Ma poleon was a consummate statesman, as well as a military genius.
 Sir Hudson Lowe, the governor Of St. Helena, came in for some very severe criticism for his treatment of Napoleon. while a prisoner on that rugged isle, and the British were mildly censured for not giving their illustrious prisoner better quarters and surroundings.
 The lecturers style is entertaining, and a very enjoyable hour and half was spent.
 The lecturer was the United States con- sul to St. Helena for four years.

BIRMINGHAM MAY HAVE HORSE SHOW The Matter Will be Discussed
 by EIkS Tonight INTEREST IS MANIFESTED If the Horse Show Becomes an Estab- Ilshed Fact It VIII Be the
 Great Social Event of
 the Year.
INTEREST IS MANIFESTED

Birmingham will in all probability De brought Into southeastern circuit of horse shows. A number of prominent horsemen in the city have been working for some time to get horses on this CIT cult brought to Birmingham annually. and the matter will be discussed at the meeting of the Elks tonight.
 George Phillips, the well known horse man. who has several prize winners of the tan bark ring, and who is familiar with all the details of horse show, has been in conference with several promi- nent Elks here and the matter will be definitely settled tonight if possible.
 One of the Elks in speaking of the mat ter yesterday said that it would not ac- complish any good to have horse show here unless the horses on the southeas- tern circuit could be secured, but that If they are secured it will be great thing for Birmingham. He said that the chief trouble at present is the lack of place large enough to give an adequate ring, but that if it was decided to bring the horses here a large tent would be secured.
 All horsemen agree that it would be great help to Birmingham to get horse show here every year. They point out that 1t would improve the class of horses seen in Birmingham, and that 1t would be a fitting climax to the progress which has been going on for the past five years.
 If the horse show becomes an establish ed fact it will be made the great social event of the year. and no pains will be spared to make it a success.
 The southeastern circuit includes Att lanta, Nashville. Memphis, New Orleans and similar cities.

GEORGE B. WARDS PLATFORM.

Tn announcing as candidate for mayor 1 have no other object than to serve the people of Birmingham.
 T have no record to point to except conscientious attention in the board of aldermen to all public business as it came along.
 If elected mayor expect to be mayor, and will undertake to see that every in- terest, corporate or individual, Is fairly treated.
 Three things in my opinion are para mount right now:
 "First-Cleaner streets. These can be had by getting right in behind the street cleaning department and seeing that every man on the pay roll gets out early and works hard and late. If this does not clean up. more force should be put on.
 ''Second-In regard to municipal owner ship of water works. 1t IS my belief that the sooner we get possession of the pres ent system the less 1t will finally cost us, and that we should proceed with eau tion but act promptly
 "Third-The utmost publicity in the management of the city's affairs, especial ly it's financial operations; with this pre- vailing. the people can approve if we are going right and if not going right they can stop us. In handling our finances the first thing is to find out the income of the city; next set aside the exact amount of interest on our debt. along with a small sinking fund to grow from year to year. In that way the debt can some day be refunded at lower rate. Then we should spend what Is left and not a cent more on the different city departments in what ever proportion the board may direct.
 Tn reference to my campaign I will say:
 T have found many people pledged to the other gentlemen running, but there seems to be many more who have re- served the right to vote as they please. This Is the vote l am after.
 '1 know of no politician or men in tbe habit of carrying elections who are on my side--bence must appeal to the peo- pie who want a change in affairs to vote and talk and work"

STANDARD TEAM WINS.
Second Bowling Contest Was Closer
 Than the First.

The second series of bowling games be- tween Cummins and Robson. representing the standard alleys and Hill and Flynn for the Elite alleys, resulted in a clean and hard-earned victory for the Standard team. The games. were close and hard fought throughout and the winners were guessing until the last ball had been rolled.
 The steady and consistent work of Rob- son saved the day for the Standards. although Cummings rolled well, in spite of numerous splits, several of which he made.
 The victory of the Standards makes the third series of games necessary to decide which team is the better one. The tie will probably be rolled next Monday night.

MECCA SALOON ROBBED. Cash and Cigars Stolen Before Day light Yesterday Morning.

Robbers entered the Mecca saloon on First avenue yesterday morning about 3 o'clock and secured about $4 in cash and a quantity of cigars. It is supposed that entrance was made by means of a rope suspended from the second story of the building and reaching into the private alley, the gate of which is always locked. In the alley a ladder and some rope were probably procured which enabled tho robbers to go through high window.

 Among the new departures in the south, an officer of the Illinois Central railway says the growth of alfalfa hay is becoming quite popular. Louisiana is making a great success of raising al- falfa and the farmers and stockmen there believe it will revolutionize the livestock business. Within radius of thirty nilss in some sections now there are more than 5000 acres in alfalfa, which produce from two and a half to three tons an acre more than are needed by the various farmers, and this being put on the market at very reasonable price has attracted feeding of northern cattle on this alone with rice huls and cotton seed meal.
