Police Officer George Blake, was on
trial yesterday afternoon before Judges
Hooker and Lochran for contempt of
court: for his disrespectful address to
the jury last week as they were leaving
the court room after bringing in verdi
let against him. He was found guilty
and sentenced to pay fine of S25 or lay
in jail ten days. He paid the fine.
Judge Lochran, in giving the sentence,
roasted the dignitary of public peace.
He said that the court must be pro-
teeted from assault and malignment.
The court and jury had their work to
perform, and they must not be abused
in doing it.

The season of 1889 has become famous
in Minneapolis for the development of
base ball cranks The team has been
just good enough to keep the populace
alternately cursing and rejoicing, now
letting blOod-red shrieks of triumph,
and now the dismal moan, "Our boys
don't play ball." Such an oscillation of
the pendulum of victory and defeat is
just the thing to build up three-ply
collection of cranks-cranks with red
faces, CLASSY eyes and diaphanous
voices; cranks without reason or a gIim-
mering of Christian charity; iibbering

red wool in their mouths; melancholy,

GO1HAM'S TALL SPIRES.

Above the Roof.

st. Fatrick's Cathedral 1t Appears
Above the Roof
The twin spires of st. Patrick's Ca
thedral are the tallest church spires in
America and rank among he tallest in
the world. They measured III the archi-
tect's plans 328 feet, but there has
been certain amount of gain over this
in construction which makes them
about $50 feet from the curb The
only tower over a building in this
country higher than this is, it is be-
ieved, the uncompleted one on the
public building in Philadelphia, which
will be $50 feet high when it is done
There are higher spires over European
cathedrals, among them those at VI
emma, Cologne, Charters, Antwerp and
Salisbury. Trinity spire in this city
is 284 feet high. St. Patrick's spires,
with the whole cathedral, were planned
by and built under the supervision of
James Renwick, of this city The ca
thedral was first projected by Arch
bishop Hughes about 1850. In 1853
Mr.. Renwick drew the first plans.
These were reduced in size and other
wise changed by Archbishop Hughes,
and in 1857 Mr.. Renwicd drew the
final plans.
The cornerstone was laid Oh August
IL, 1958-thirty years, one month and
nineteen days before the topmost stone
was set in the last of the spires. The
cathedral was dedicated nearly ten
years ago, but the spires were then
only to a level of the roof of the build
ing They were left in that condition
until the fall of 1885, when work was
resumed. 1t has been continued ever
since, except when the weather pre-
vented. George Mann & Co., of Bal.
timore, did the work under contract.
1t has been done without single ac-
cident TO any person employed upon
the spires. The work at first pro-
ceeded rapidly, but as the distance
from the ground became greater and
the space in which to work decreased,
fewer and fewer men were employed
.and shorter progress made. For
the last few weeks only five or
six men could be employed, and
they had to be expert steepletacks.
The spires are of white marble
throughout, except that a copper rod
through the center holds the extreme
upper pieces composing the final in
place. The spires are octagonal in
form. mounted on octagonal lantern
towers that rise from the level of the
roof Their design s very elaborate,
and it has been carried out with ex.
quisite workmanship that is almost
wasted at the great heights at which
it is placed.-N z. SIN.

every hour in the day; but it is not the

though it is noticeable that he very
rarely anticipates that pleasure by
giving himself up-because he has
such bad time of it, and not at all be-
cause he has initiated another gentle

Is wholly different; the deed itself

murders one or two more people his

would be worth if a ''lifer" could not
be hung for taking it; for what is very
remarkable, your ruffian is sensitive
about the sacredness of human life
when it is his own, but in no other
case, believe me. Mr.. jackson, OF
course, may not be found guilty Of
murder; but object to any person of his
class being represented as influenced
by the sentimental emotions because

was found to be unsuited to the busi-
