The encouragement that this build ing will be constructed will be taken as a substantial verification of the an- nouncement in The Age-Herald some months ago to the effect that the owners of that site would not renew the present lease for hotel purposes, but would arrange for the construc- ton of a mercantile building. It was stated yesterday that having an abounding faith in Birmingham and realizing the Florence corner to be one of the best and most valuable in this city, Louis Saks and Herman Saks had arranged the lease covering long term of years.

 The building will be 100 feet on Sec ond avenue by 100 feet on Nineteenth street. The entire building now oe- cupied by the Florence hotel with the exception of that portion occupied bs Nunnally's will be used by the Saks Clothing company. The building will be of concrete and will be in every feature modern and up- -to-date
 The site to be utilized is owned by Mrs. Florence E. Jordan. Mrs. J. Rivers Carter, Mrs. Hill Ferguso hand Josepl P Walker. The owners were repre-. sented by l. F. Young. Hill Fergusor and J. A. Levert in the negotiation. which have resulted in the lease to tn, Louis Saks Clothing company.

placing of a head and his slighter
treatment of the rest of design, will
make one think of the precedents Of
an earlier day. Yet he has refresh
ing way of leaving a drawing the
most autographs Of productions, ex-
pressive of his own feeling, his own
taste, his own sense of style. Es-
pecially Characteristic is his avoid
ance of those spcciously decorative
expedients whereby some types in con-
temporary portraiture are wont to
make highly fashionable" and
pretty" effects and to fatter their
sitters. These portraits, which have so
much grace, so much elegance, are at
bottom the most conscientious studies
in realism. They have a force, vital
ity, one hardly expects in work so deli
cately touched.

sending artists to Rome for such train
ing as they might easily enough find in
Paris, or, indeed, at home. Mr.. La
Fargo concisely states the matter in
this passage:
The Academy is not school; 10 is
not for technical training or the tcach-
inc Of anv rudiments; II does not nave
classes. nor does il even impose a very
rioid. prescribed course. Its hehe-
friaries are those who have already ad-
vanced far beyond the preliminary
stages of their various callings; ire
cuen+lv they may be people ready 10

tbeir professional careers. All OF them
come 10 Rome for the enlargement ana
fuller development of their knowledge
and talents through tirst-hand contact

American art and letters.
Here we may appropriately turn
from the annals Of the Academy to the
question Of its influence, TO the actual
fruits Of the great experiment There
was a time when, like any institution
in its formative period, this one
seemed to be of an lndeterminate char
acter and quite ineffective. But that
was natural enough. It had to find

cately touched.

Mr.. Charles VI. Russeil's paintings
at the Folsom gallery of "the West
that has passed" are executed with I'M
questionable proficiency, but they have
no quality in respect to color, and
from a technical point Of view they
are. in fact, commonplace. One is
thrown back upon the spirit with which
the artist relates his picturesque and
even dramatic incidents. There he is
ALTOGETHER successful. His Indians,
COWBOYS and soldiers are credible
human beings, always doing something
which is we'll calculated to appeal to
opr interest in the vanished life of the
Mains. As q clever, lively illustrator
Mr.. Russell cannot be too cordially
nraised. The exhibition Of works by
six or seven Americans at the Rein
bardt gallery leaves a mixed impress
sion. Some Of the landscapes are good,
notably those by Mr.. Edmund Greacen
and Mr.. f. A. Kramer, both OF whom
reveal poetic feeling. Mr.. Brinley
shows a certain zest in his sketches,
though his aim never seems 70 be quite
fulfilled. There are some mildly clever
figure subjects by Mr.. Karl Anderson
