Valentine Blatz is putting some OF his money
into an elegant castelated residence on the
southwest corner of Division and Van Buren,
streets, formerly occupied by the Collins resi-
dence. The ground dimensions of the struc-
ture win be 60xS0 feet. Vertically it will in
clude high basement, two lofty stories and
a French roof The material TO be used is
Milwaukee pressed brick and terra Gotta,
and Vert Island sand stone trimmings.
There will be no woodwork on the exterior
of the house; the porticos will be constructed
of solid granite and brick. The interior will
be finished in hard woods, and will have all
modern improvements, including clothes
shafts TO the laundry, dust shafts, etc. 1t is
expected that the building viii be ready for
occupancy in October next. The cost is
placed at $50, 900 by the architect, but it will
probably be much greater than that. Build
ers are chary about giving big figures for as
SCISSORS to jot down.
HOLY HILL.
This Catholic shrine, mentioned in a re-
cent letter, is destined to become one of the
most famous resorts for pilgrims and peni
tents in the country. 1t is located in Wash
ington county, near Schleis, thirty-two miles
north of this city. Holy Hill is the apex Of
a series of hills which have the plan, though
not the shape, of a pyramid of cannon balls
The surface Of these hills is composed of
coarse grovel and stones, but there are many
fertile spots in the valleys between. The
church of st. Mary's of Help, which crowns
the summit of Holy Hill, stands out in bold
relief against the sky 1t is reached BY a
steep pathway called the SWAY of the Cross,''
which is marked at regular intervals by
wooden crosses bearing pictures illustrating
the last scenes Of the life of Jesus Christ.
Before these crosses the weary and persistent
pilgrims kneel and pray for the intercessiOn
Of the Virgin Mary and the forgiveness of sins.
DevouC Catholics regard the hill with deep
veneration, and many stories are told of
MIRACULOUS CURES
Of bodily ailments. 1t has become the re-
sort of the halt, the MANNED and the blind,
who go there to seek supernatural relief.
The hill was first brought to notice twenty
years ago by Francis Sobers, a religious re-
cluse who resided upon it. Sobers spent
most of his time in praying and begging,
and one day disappeared as mysteriously as
he came. A second hermit appeared and
lived a short time on the HILL increasing its
reputation among devout Catholics. In 1856,
Father Francis Xavier Paulhuber, formerly
of st. Mary's church, Milwaukee, purchased
the property, containing forty acres, from
the government, and presented it to the do
cese. A rough wooden cross was at first
erected on the hill to serve as a guide to the
pilgrims Later a rude chapel of rough
timber was erected, but this gave way to the
present neat and substantial church build
ing of brick with stone trimmings and stone
foundation, which was erected four years
ago. The church was consecrated by Arch
bishop Heiss in 1881. The summit of the
hill affords the pilgrims a glorious view. Be
fore him in pleasing undulations lie fertile
fields and pastures interspersed by heavy
woodlands To the south, many miles dis
tant, are seen five of the famous chain of
Waukesha lakes, and the smoke of the roll
ing mills at Milwaukee, thirty-fve miles
away, is seen in the southeast. On clear
day, through strong glass, some of the
church spires of Milwaukee may be seen.
The hill is between 500 and 200 feet above
the level of Lake Michigan, and is said to be
the highest hill in Wisconsin.
