remarkable evidence of Sir Felix Schus- ter's peculiar adroitness in dealing with a complicated and difficult financial situa- ton. The problem that confronted the government was how to introduced legis- lation that would at once afford all the aid that the state could give to the bank ing and large commercial interests with cut seeming to unduly favor these special interests.
 This was done in a series of bills, the precise terms of which no one quite un- derstood nor which were intended to be understood, but which yielded effectively the state protection first of all to the banks and to the larger commercial in- terests they desired should be protected. The very indefiniteness of the morato- rum and other acts following it was their peculiar merit Where important interests or personages complained that these bills did not help them they were informed that they did, but the gov ernment was left free to decline to as- sist any interest or individual that was not sufficiently important to demand the aid of the state.
 At the end of the war Sir Felix will probably be raised to the peerage and few will know the reason of his eleva- tion. Sir Felix has remained very much behind the scenes Beyond an occa- sional visit to the treasury his presence at government conferences has never been chronicled in the press But he is nevertheless the man whose influence has been felt indirectly and directly since the outbreak of the war in the homes of millions of people.
 It is generally known that the Roths- childs when the war broke out, made their position "good" with the English government That is to say they made it quite plain what were the nature and extent of their German and Austrian connections and the arrangements they desired to complete to guard their in- terests in both countries. The English, German and Austrian governments granted the Rothschilds special facilities for completing their arrangements, but since then no communications Of any sort have passed between the Rothschilds in London and their representatives in Ber- lin and Vienna. The Rothschilds having made their position as secure as it was possible to make it. both in Austria and Germany, are, so far as is known, con- tent to keep themselves absolutely free of those dangerous entanglements in which so many conspicuous figures in cosmopolitan finance have become in volved.
 In the early days of the war four great financiers were actually placed under ar rest, but, with the exception of one, all were promptly released. The exception was lucky not to have been shot. for he was beyond doubt one of the most active of the highly placed German spies and was one of the controlling heads of the German espionage system in Eng land.
 It should be explained that the finan- ciers mentioned fell under the suspicion of the English government for two to-

Trapper Attacked by Wolf

From an EXcnange.
 Marinette, Wis.-To kill an enraged tim Der wolf in a desperate encounter and emerge from the fight with badly lacer. ated arms and legs was the experience of Levi Johnston, a Marinette county trapper.
 Johnston had killed a wolf which he found in one of his traps, and was pro- ceeding to remove the legs from the stee jaws when the enraged mate, who had been watching the trapper, bounced upon his back, sinking it's teeth into the arm of the woodsman.
 Johnston shook off the beast but h came back, biting his legs. Fighting ths wolf back with the club which had dis posed of it's mate, Johnston grabbed bii rifle and sent bullet into the brais of the maddened beast. The wolves were brought to Marinette and bounty ol s25 apiece will be paid. The trapper sail the fact that he wore heavy clothing saved his life.

La Plata. Argentina. @@AVE you ever heard of San 6I Juan? It is the famous es-
 tancia belonging to the sons IERxSHI of Leonardo Pereya, on which
 was bred the Shorthorn bull Americus, that sold at auction in Buenos Aires a year or so ago for ss5.0O0 in gold. That was the highest price ever paid for any bull anywhere upon earth and it gives one some idea of the value of the stock naw on the estate.
 The estancia lies on the Rio de Ia Plata, almost on the edge of this city, and within an hours ride of Buenos Aires, the capital of the Argentine republic. It runs for nine miles along the river, and extends far back into the country. It contains 32,000 acres of as good pasture land as any in Ken lucky, and this Is divided up into fields of 100 acres or more, upon which are now feeding some of the finest bred cattle of the world.
 The founder of the estate, Senor Pereya, was the first to realize the im portance of high class pedigreed stock and he began to found his herd of Dur hams as far back as 1857, when he imported the bull Defiance and the COW Coral. The next year he bought the famous bull Don Juan and the COW Dahlia, and later on other short horns which stand high in stock breed ing history. He has Herefords with pedigrees which date back for 50 years since he imported their ancestors from England, and he has Lincoln and Ram bouillet sheep that have won silver cups all over this country at the great fairs.
 The estate now has on it more than 5000 COWS of fine blood and hundreds of pedigreed bulls. It is used largely as breeding establishment to supply the other great ranches belonging to the family, where there are altogether something like S0,000 cows and from which are sold every year 1s,o0O fat steers.
 do not know just how much land the Pereyra family owns. The amount runs high into the tens of thousands of acres and their stock exceeds the present The San Juan estancia is their chief breeding farm. It is also where the family lives during the sum mer, and there were 40 of them there sat the time of my visit.

Disease Prevention

Steadily and surely the public is being edu-
Gated to fight disease by preventing it's appear
ance. Disease prevention is not fad, but an
actuality whose worth has been proved in Pana-
ma and other centers where the government has
stamped out malignant diseases and keeps them
distant by preventive methods.
An enormous increase in the number of per-
sons seeking anti-typhoid vaccination is reported
by the United States Public Health Service. Not
alone is this increase manifested among the bene-
ficiaries Of that organization and government
employees, but the general public is also awaken
ing to the value of the incubation. Reports from
physicians throughout the country indicate that
many are receiving the preventive treatment and
laboratory establishments have had greatly in
creased demand for the vaccine. So great is the
call among employees of the government that it
has been necessary to issue second edition of
the Secretary of the Treasury's circular stating
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-08-30

the localities where the treatment may be re-
ceived. It is estimated that during 1914 over
1Oo, 600 persons throughout the country were
immmized and it is believed that in 1915, the
number will exceed 1000. In four counties o.
North Carolina, where campaigns are now being
conducted, it is estimated that 10000 people Will
be immunized.
The public is seldom slow to accept an innova-
ton of worth. The reduction Of the case rate IN
the Army from $50 per 100000, before the dis
covery of anti-typhoid vaccine, to g. since inocu-
lation was made compulsory, has not passed un-
noticed. During four months Of 1898 there were
over 1000 cases of typhoid among 10000 soldiers
encamped in Florida; in 1911, among 10000 men
similarly encamped, there were but cases. It
such degree of immunity can be harmlessly con-
conditions and whose age renders them suscepti-
BILE, the conclusion is that protection can just as
easily be afforded ordinary citizens.
Anti-typhoid vaccination is quite as simple as
that for smallpox and even children do not COM
plain. There are no local effects other than a
slight reddening at the site Of the injection and
sore arms are entirely lacking. In small per-
centage Of cases mild systemic reaction, accom-
panied by headache and slight rise in tempera-
ture occurs but if the treatment is given at night
the persons rest is undisturbed and he is entirely
unaware of these symptoms. In the majority Of
instances, however, there is not the slightest in
convenience. The immunity probably lasts for
several years, although it's duration is less than
that Of smallpox, which frequently persists for a
lifetime. -.~....-.. .m...m.. .. =.

and, can, therefore, be made available
for use throughout the year in house

this way it is thought much fruit that

For reasons, however, which are not
as yet very thoroughly understood, the
various fruits differ greatly in the ef-
fects OF sterilization upon them. Thus.
strawberry juice and red raspberry
juice lose their distinctive color and
flavors very readily. and, therefore.
can not be put up on a commercial

This is not to be taken to mean that

conception that she is his subject,

Amicable Relations Exist Be-

iers and G. A. r. Members,
Who Exchanged Shells.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 30.-As-
a courtesy to the men who wore the
gray during the Civil war, the citi.
zens' committee OF Washington has
decided to extend an invitation to the
stan officers of the Confederate Vet
Grams Union to attend the forty-ninth
annual encampment OF the Grand
Army OF the Republic, which Is to be
held in Washington, September - to
October 8. This action has been tax.
en- with the full accord and approval
OF the officials of the Grand Army.
- The meeting OF the blue and the
gray on the Gettysburg battlefield two
years ago testified to the amicable re-
lationship existing between the two
organizations, and the invitation to
the Confederates at this time is in
keeping with the spirit exhibited at
Gettysburg.
In addition. invitations are being ex-
tended to the governors of all states
and the members OF their STATS, as
well as to large number of other
distinguished officials of the United
States. including, of course, the presi-
dent, members OF his cabinet and
members of the senate and house OF
representatives.
Select General Miles.
General Nelson A. Miles has been
selected as the grand marshal of the
marching pageant. which is to be
held in commemoration of the grand
review of fifty years ago. Secretary
Garrison of the war department., and
Secretary Daniels of the navy depart
ment. have designated officers to act
as military and naval aides to General
Miles upon this occasion.
The U. S. Grant post. OF Brooklyn,
has been selected as the special escort
for David ]. Palmer, commander-in-
chief OF the Grand Army, during the
parade.
An unusual and interesting feature
Of the encampment will be the dog

are members of the Grand Army. The

the campfire is to the army men, but
heretofore because of their much small
Ter numbers, the old sailors have not
been conspicuous in Grand Army re-
unions. At the forthcoming encamp-
ment, however, they are to be given
special attention.

Some time ago the Indianapolis
News, In department which is pre-
sents each day some interesting facts
concerning the early days OF Indiana,
made reference to what was perhaps
the nrst dramatic society In the state.
Vincennes was given credit for this
organization, 1t being called the Thes-
plan Society OF Vincennes, and it
numbered many of the prominent men
and women of that historic town. The
reading Of this historic article by Mrs
Sarah Wrisley, Of South Fourteenth
street. instantly called to mind the
fact that Richmond, In the early thir.
ties. also had Thespian Society, pos
sibly ante-dating the Vincennes soci-
ETY.. What is more Interesting, Mrs.
Wrtgley has distinct recollection of
attending one Of the dramatic per-
formances OF this society and to a
representative OF the Palladium some
days ago. Mrs. Wrigley talked enter
tainlngly of the society. OF one or two
persons whom she recollected had
been members, and of the location Of
the hall in which the productions
We're given. Since that recital by
Mrs. Wrigley the Palladium has been
endeavortng to ascertain more of
this society. with the idea of present
ing a complete history Of it as pos
sible. 1t has been unable, however,
to gather any further facts, though
doubtless there are some of the older
ed information If they could be reach
ed. Mrs. Wrigley's statement of the
ancient Thespian Society of Richmond
is as follows:
Will some one please tell US all they
