w.dd End the SISTER, BY Which One
Man Lives on AnOeher's Toll.
IN an address at San Bernardino,
c.r \ A. Richardson said, among
o+5ar things. the following:
robor has always had just enough
=, enable it to live and reproduce. IN
dor serfdom and chattel slavery, how
orpr the laborer had at least his exist
ooca assured. There was always a mas
Tor whose interest it was to see that
tbp slave who did his work should be
fad and kept in proper physical condi-
finn to produce more workers. Is this
tre today? Is the economic master at
81, concerned whether the laborer, the
modern wa-e slave, is provided for,
ubptber the individual worker lives or
HOt%
The speaker then went on to de-
scribe how it was the workers had be-
come dependent on the owners Of
things. He pointed out the fact that
the ownership Of the land had always
been the principal means by which the
few had owned and controlled the la
Dor Of the workers.
Before the age Of agriculture, when
nations went to war against each other.
the captors often ate the captured.
When they discovered that a live cap
tive working upon the land was worth
more to them than a cleanIy picked
skeleton, they instituted the system of
chatteI slavery. The eating Of humans,
no longer profitable, became "immor-
al"
To demand the full product Of ones
toll is Socialism. Yet many ignorant
wage slaves the moment the subject is
touched upon declare: mo dividing up
In mine. That's Socialism,"
The Socialist demand is to do away
entirely with exploitation, the living Of
one man from anOther's labor.
The only way to accomplish this is
by owning collectively the exploiting
mediums Of capitalism-not, as oppo-
nentS Of Socialism would have the
people believe, the collective owner
snip Of ones house, furniture or other
possession that he uses privately. but
Of those things which can be used to
enable one man to live from anothers
Toll, Is the aim Of Socialism.

B. B. NOTES.

Since returning home for the opening
game, May 20, Wausau has won seven
out of ten games played. Since our last
issue only three games were played,
the weatherman allowing us to try con-
illusions with Lacrosse only one game
out of a series of four The patrons of
the game earnestly hoped to see the
four scheduled games played, for La
Crosse it is believed is easier than some
other teams for Wausau to defeat.
Wet grounds and rains caused the
games of Friday and Saturday to be
postponed. Had there been fair
weather Saturday there would have
been large attendance. On Sunday
Lacrosse put in Lucky Jones, but in
the middle of the game he was driven
to the bushes when four runs were se-
cured. Eberle, who replaced him,
allowed three more in the following
inning Fox made home run, win
ming a suit of clothes, some cigars,
laundry credit and the applause of the
fans Lacrosse left town with only
two games the best of US in the lead.
On Thursday, Potter for Wausau,
came near equalling worlds record
established by Cy Young some years
ago. Not hit or run was secured off
his delivery. Only twenty eight men
faced him. He allowed one man to
walk in the ninth inning-the caly
feature to mar his pitching. He was
loaned to Merrill again Sunday and
pitched another strong game, shutting
out Portage.
The team opened series in Fond du
Lac yesterday. From now until June
% the team will be jumping back and
forth between this city and other towns,
playing three games away from home
and then three at home, so that we viii
have games at home every week. The
attendance is better than it ever was
before

SEMI-CENTENNlAL EXERCISES OF THE
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Commencing Sunday Morning, May 3lst and Closing
This Tuesday Evening.

The First Presbyterian society, of
Wausau, celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of the organization of its church
in this city, commencing Sunday and
the exercises will last until this Tues
day evening, when banquet will be
given and number of addresses made.
This church was organized on the Sd
day of June, 1858. by the Rev. Charles
T. Halsey, who served as its pastor five
years. There were five charter mem
bers, two men and three women; two
of the ladies were Mrs. Mary Poor and
Mrs. Eliza Gouldsberry.
Rev. and Mrs. Halseyaand their ac-
compiished daughters, resided in a very
pretty home at the corner of Second
and Forest streets, where the new resi-
dence of George Stuh6auth now stands.
There was an old building where the
E. B. Stoddard home is now. This had
been used as store and residence
combined in earlier days, and the larg-
est room, some 20x30 feet, or perhaps
little longer, which had side door
leading out onto the lawn of Rev.
Halsey, and from which was pathway
to Forest street, was secured in which
to hold services. The seats, as We editor
remembers them, were long, straight
pine benches, some with backs and
sides, and stand was used for the pull
pit. This building afterwards became
the property of MIR. and Mrs S. e Stod-
dard and in which the former had his
shoe shop. Rev. Halsey departed in
1868 and for five years thereafter there
were no regular services held. In 1868
Rev. j. ID. Stevens came and remained
for year After his departure there
was another cessation of five years
Rev. Henry Farwell then came and
remained one year, until 1876, when
Rev. j w. Hageman became the pastor
A new chr5ch was erected on Mcclellan
street Rev. Hageman remained until
the TALL of 1881 Rev VIM. r. Stewart
was called to the pastorate, July oath,
1882. and served the church until his
death in June, 1885. Rev. Thos. G.
Smith, came the same year and re-
NAMED until June, 1888. The church
had prospered and had built new
manse at the corner of 9th and Fulton
streets. In August, 1888, call was
extended to Dir. w o. Carrier who be-
gan his labors in October of the same
year. He remained here for twelve
years and was followed by the present
pastor, Dr. s. n Wilson
The celebration of the semi
centennial was commenced on Sunday
morning. At 1890 O'Clock the regular
services were held in the church. There
was special music and Rev. Wilson
preached the anniversary sermon, tThe
Year of Jubilee" which was listened to
by large audience.
On Sunday afternoon at 800 o'clock,
was had in the church, an "Old Home
Afternoon" An old fashioned choir
under the direction of E. NJ James,
sang old time hymns. The choir was
composed of the following nsmed:

NEW SOCIETY FORM ED.
Devoted to the Correlative Study of
Painters, Poets and Musicians.

Wausau is to be favored with chap
ter of the Euterpean fraternity, which
during mex. season will carry out q
series of programs and studies devoted
to the masters of painting. poetry and
music. The new society. which already
has large membership of cultured
people, is based upon the correlative
p ;inciple of study. At each meeting
thee masters are presented as subjects
of comparison and illustrations
painter, poet and composer-the three
who, in tLeir personalities, works and
ideals exhibit the most striking points
of correspondence and who best serve
to illustrate and enchancel each other
For example: One program is devoted
to the subject of peasant life," and the
characters presented are the three great
est art opponents of the idea illet,
Burns and Grieg. The principle, there
fore, is to unite the three forms of art
for mutual enhancement.
The presentation of the programs is
accompanied with papers and inter-
pretative descriptions which are pre-
pared by prominent writer's, upon the
theory that the enjoyment of the beauti-
full in the arts does not depend so much
upon eye and ear as upon an enlight-
ened Imagination and q uickened sensi-
bilities.
WILDER M. Derthick, the founder of
the Euterpean fraternity-of which the
Wausau chapter is to be part, lis
well known as author of 1.-The Manual
of Music,' and his present plan is COM
mended by the splendid success of
societies in many other Wisconsin
towns.
An illustrative program viii be given
in few days to demonstrate the educa-
tional principles involved, at which
time the local officers will be elected.
