In short, the keynote of this short
street, as celebrated among New York
ers as Wall street itself, though less
widely known outside, is money. In
the clubs extravaganza of decoration
indicates the personal extravaganza
which distinguishes a large proportion
of the members. Only the very veal
thy can afford to belong to them. for
while the dues are not small, the real
expense comes from the necessity Of
maintaining ones position in them. A

 INVESTORS
can do no better than to investigate the Steel City of
IRONDALE

on Puget Sound, near Port Townsend, before making an investment of their surplus funds in the States.
 At IRONDALE, company of Seat tle's best known business men are erecting big plant, which will on De- tober 15 begin the making of iron and steel of practically all commercial varieties. There will be big demand for the products of IRONDALE, big orders being already on file.
 Adjoining the steel plant townsite has been plated, which will grow rap, idly into a city, housing all of the workmen in the mills.
 You can now buy stock in IRON DALE which will net you big profit, or you can buy lots in the steel city at low price, lots which will double and treble in value when the plant is put in operation.
 For complete information as to either form of investment, address

away and the sun had full play; the
wind from the west was cool but il
looked warm and the way our people
turned out to air themselves was eau
ton. There is still snow and ice on
the north side of buildings and in the
woods up north there is much snow yet

there is yet snow and fairly good sleigh

We are told that the farmers are fully
two weeks behind last spring.
This is the case with the products
used in the Wausau Canning CO..
plant. By this time last season, peas
were planted. Today there is not bud
on the trees, the frost is still in the
ground so that gardening or building
cannot be commenced. The first OF
May, which is next Saturday, will find
us without flower. Even the birds
are so cold they can't peep. Let us
hope this condition will soon pass away
and balmy spring take its place.

HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATIONS.

The county board committee on
property met Thursday. Bills to the
amount of SITS y were, allowed. A
resolution was passed providing for
hospital accommodations in the
new poor house building This accom-
mediation has been more fully dealt
with in former issue of the PILOT.
1t provides that hospital ward shall
be established in the poor house and
that yearly contracts with st. Mary's
hospital shall be eliminated, the cases
to be taken care of by the county ply
sician. The last contract made with
the hospital runs only for few months
and at its expiration it is expected the
new building will be completed.
The committee feels that by this ar
rangement considerable sum of money
will be saved to the county. 1t is neces-
sary each year to hire physician to
look after the health of the asylum
patients. Now, that the two institutions
are practically combined, it viii be an
easy matter for the county physician ia
attend to cases in both institutions,
with lessening in miles of travel, as
compared with present conditions.

LAWRENCE GLEE CLUB.

The Lawrence Glee club entertained
large audience at the Methodist church
last Wednesday evening with choruses
and college songs. its singing showed
training and its voices blended nicely
together. The humorous songs took
mighty well.
The quartette was exceptionally good
and it gave two eneores besides its
regular number. The solo 1.-THE Red
mans Death Chant by Mr.. Day with
the chorus accompaniment was one of
the best selections of the evening.
James st. John gave three readings,
the first one taking in description of
a Yale Harvard boat race which he
gave in very graphic manner.
For the last number the club gave a
college scene. called Hard Nights

took leading part in the scene. A
number of songs were sung by different
members of the club aud James st.

the songs sung were. my Girl Irene

Jack Mccarthy, manager of the Wau-
sau team, arrived in the city Thursday
evening. He has since been circulat-
ing among our people, getting &C.
quainted. He has Iii the earmarks
of being gentleman, which counts
much in the management of a team.
There are number of people IL town
who saw MIR. Mccarthy play when he
was a member of teams in the big
leagues and they all vouch for his play
ing abilities. As a manager he has
plenty of references.
Mr.. Mccarthy is very much impressed
with the town, although it is his first
visit here. In getting acquainted with
our people, the Wausau spirit has been
manifested and anyone who knows
anything about the Wausau spirit will
not blame Mr. Mccarthy for liking the
town
Up to date he has sixteen players
signed, but expects to have half-a dozen
more here before the opening of the
season, which is May 12
The Superior organization, which has
been on shaky ground, has finally been
put on "A sound basis. Sufficient money
has been raised, new set of officers
have been elected and new manager
has been engaged. Andy Porter, who
played second base some years ago for
Wausau, was engaged as a manager.
He proved TO be 'has been," and the
new officers made a contract with Lew
Drill of st. Paul to guide the destinies
of the team. Mr.. Drill was sought by
Wausau as manager, but he and the
local management could not come to
terms.
Manager Ferguson of the Appleton
team wants to play here before the
opening of the WI. league season.
Manager Mccarthy has given him the
dates of May l72. If these are not satis-
factory to Mr. Ferguson it is probable
that other dates can be arranged, for
The Wausau team will need such prac-
tice. The games with Appleton will, in
a measure, be demonstration of the
relative strength of the two leagues.
The first players to arrive came Fri
day. They were three in number and
are c. r. Lincoln of Springfield, H.,
VIM. Wakefield of Chicago and A.
Heath of Hudson, Mass.
4 number of persons went over the
grounds the latter part of the week,
and cleaned off the loose pebbles,
etc. AS soon as the grounds have dried
sufficiently further improvements will
be made.

PROTECT TREES.

The Civic Improvement League. as
Wei as all lovers of nature, are again
urging upon the people to set out trees.
make lawns, build curbs and lay out
boulevards. But there is little satisfac-
ton ID doing these things when they
are apt to be injured by the needless.
lawless element Of the city 1t is dis
couraging to pay from two to four dol
lars Tor line shade tree and get it
started growing nicely and then have
some needless boy or man hitch horse
10 lt and the horse. indulging its natural
appetite for bark, kill the tree. 1t is
likewise discouraging to extend grass
plot In front of your house and curb
and have it tramped upon by rowing
cattle or careless boys. These difficult
ties could be remedied by the passage of
an ordinance by the city council to pro-
tect lawns, trees and shrubbery, and
the enforcing of it after it is passed.
Such move would be welcomed by
many people who are always willing to
do their share in beautifying the city
Wausau Record Herald, April 90.
Before urging the citizens of Wausau
to set out trees or improve the boule-
wards and lawns, the Wausau branch
OF the Civic improvement League should
get after some of their own officers and
founders. For instance for running
power wire down the east side of
Grand avenue. This threatens the life
OF the beautiful shade trees which the
residents OF the avenue (who make no
pretense at being reformers) set out
years ago to beautify their homes. In
order that the trees may not be killed,
the wires have been decorated with
slabs and boards to keep the wire from
the trees. This is a matter that will
bear lookinginto by the League; corpo-
rations should be treated with no more
consideration than the most humble
citizen. One bad feature of our macad-
am streets along which the street rail
way runs is the fact that the company's
franchise only compels it to maintain
the street one foot outside of its rails.
As its ties extend eighteen inches
outside of the rail, it is impossible to
build macadam thick enough to bind
on top of the tie. The result is. that not
only on Grand avenue but on every
other macadamed street the macadam
is raveled and is fast being ruined.
The question,is, who is TO repair this
damage to our streets? This is a good
question for the League to solve. |
might cite many other matters which
need attention but do not care to make
too big kick at TIE outset, but shall
touch upon few Things later on.
The PILOT made a good suggestion
in its last issue, that is that the Wausan
Gas Co., the plumbers and sewer pipe
layers, in so far as having the streets,
which they dig up, rebuilt under the
supervision of the city. This, if done,
and it ought to be, will go long ways
toward keeping our street in good con-
dition. A TAX PAYER.

THOMAS WOLFE.

Fifty years ago Thomas Wolfe COM
menced the printers trade in Wausau
under j. w. Chubbuck. He was pop
ular young man in the early days OF
Wausau and there are quite number
of our citizens who remember him well.
The Wolfe family, besides the parents,
consisted of two brothers and two sis
ters. The boys were both printers.
Peter. the younger of the two,t died a
few years ago in Omaha. Thomas left
Wausau in 1864 and went to Omaha, and
Nebraska has been his home ever since.
The PmOT received copy of the Peo-
ple's Banner of David City, Neb., in
which is the following article concern
ing Mr.. Wolfe, which will be of interest
to our readers:
Hon Thomas Wolfe, whose portrait
is printed herewith and who has been
elected mayor of David City for the en-
suing term, presents the very unusual
spectacle of solid, wealthy banker
and land owner in his ripening years,
who started in life as printer working
! on q salary.
1t follows, of course, that Mr.. Wolfe
possessed business sagacity not COM
mon among men who take to the print
ing trade, and though he followed the
business as printer and publisher for
twenty years, it is safe to assume that
his business ventures in other lines are
chiefly responsible for his present affiu-
ence
Mr. Wolfe came to Nebraska from
Wisconsin in July, 1864, and from that
time until 1874 had charge of the
mechanical departments of Omaha
Offices including the Bee, Herald, Trib-
une and Republican He has card
from the New York City Typographical
