Cheyenne saddles have been famous and

American horse trappings. but made them so
cheap as to be- within the m cans OF most horse

ranged all over the plains and the cowboy

rather have Cheyenne saddle than best girl,

be great mistake. however. to regard the
numerical weakness Of this contingent as
a measure OF the Pope's influence on Catho-
lie voters In France. 1t Is due largely to the
attitude Of LEO XIII. that the Panama scan

the prestige OF republican institutions, and
that the Monarchists. who actually con-
stituted majority OF the Versailles As

DONOHUE's SURPRISING DOG.
Long and BowiegGed, but Quick to Object to
Beinw Broken In Two.

Three small boys were wheeling up and down
the sidewalk In front OF 3.403 Third avenue
yesterday afternoon when Charles Donohue Of
439 East 12lst street drove up in an express
wagon. The goods in the wagon were guarded
by n nondescript dog that was hold in place by
n bit Of rope The dog was long In the body.
short In the legs. and waddled. when no had
chance to walk. worse than goose on dusty
road by reason OF being horribly bowlegged.
Donohue dropped the dog on the sidewalk
to give him some exercise. Seven-year-
old !Aulie Maksovsky thought 1t would
bs fun to run over. the dog with his
bicycle to see II he would break in
two. The bowleGged dog. astonished the
boy by the CELEBRITY wit viii ch he waddled out
OF the way Of the wheel. and still further sur
prised him by the speed with which he pivoted
on his crook ed legs and buried his teeth in the
calf Of Aulie's leg. With a yell the boy tum bled
of his bicycle aud the bicycle tumbled over on
the dog.
Donohue dragged his pet out Of the wreck.
while tho boy was picked up by his father. The
neighbors turned out and argued that tho dog
ought to be shot. Donohus was arrested. lie
led his dog to the Harlem Police Court. There
Justice Feitner condemned the dog to be shot
Donohue and policeman disappeared
around tho corner. presumably In search OF a
place Of execution. The facts that Donohue
was still leading the dog and that the police
man looked particularly good natured led tho
spectators to believe that the execution was
indefinitely postponed.

Gated II to cRowE, who died on the 10th OF Au-
gust There has not been q case OF cholera

There 10 now doubt whether after all, the
three persons who died under suspicious cir
cumstnucss in Jersey City. between tho 23d
and 29th OF last month. were Aslatic cholera
patients. Upon this point we must leave the
medcos to form judgment that shall be sat-

The fact to which we desire to direct public
attention is that the cholera experts are on tho
alert. that they are fully prepared to meet
danger at any moment. and that. as soon as q
plague propanatinp bacillus or mlcrobe shall
be heard OF. they will exercise all their power
for its destruction. Tho Jersey City expe-
riences OF last week must have confirmed the

The Compliment of an Interview.

A preacher named ARTHUR 7. PETERSON
fills whole page OF one OF the religious
papers with an essay which he entities
The Vice Of Modern interviewing" Ac-
cording to him. he Is annoyed beyond en-
durance by reporters who come to him
asking for his views. until In self-protec-
door In their faces.
Why any reporter should go to PETERSON
to get his opinions on any subject. we do
not know. Why they should be deemed
important enough for publication. we can
not understand, after having read his arti-
clio on interviewing. Our suspicion is that
the real cause for his distress is that he Is
not interviewed enough, rather than that
he Is interviewed too much. He Is not 80
important parsonage in the estimation OF
the newspapers as he Is in his own concelt:
and the public are not 80 greedy for his
views as he is eager to express them.
This person is spoken OF as u famous
preacher. but how many readers OF The
SUN ever heard Of him2 How many Of
them know to what particular system
Of religious doctrine he gives adhesion ?
Where does he preach and what does he
preach about What Is there peculiar
about him to cause him to be interviewed
more than the run Of preachers Why
does he fret and fume about interviewing.
when we hear no such public complaint on
the subject from really important and val
liable clergymen like Bishop POTTER. Mgr
SAToLLI. Archbishop CoRRIGAN. DR.. JOHN
HALL. Dr. BRIGGS. DR.. MACARTHUR. and
Rabbi GorTHEIL
The truth Is that the greater the genuine
consequence OF the man. the surer he is not
to take offence because his views are asked
for publication. He knows that he Is not
obliged to give the requested interview. and
that to ask it OF him Is compliment. The
request implies that his opinions are impor-
tant. or his knowledge unusual. or the
reporter would not be sent to him. The
application for an interview suggests dis
tinguished consideration. A representative
Of 30 powerful an engine Of public opinion
as great newspaper. who comes bearing a
request so complimentary. Is not treated
as an interloper or like a beggar by any
body except fool. 1t is the petty fellows.
not the ADLER men. who pretend to be
offended by such q mark Of distinction.
There Is kind Of modern interviewing
which cannot be too severely denounced.
1t is the fake interview which puts into
mans mouth words never uttered by him.
This criminal imposture Is practised only
by disreputable sheets. and it deserves the
severest punishment. not so much because
it Is an outrage against an Individual. as
because 1t Is q fraud on the public.
II man does not wish to speak for pub
lication. he need not speak. II he has moth
ing to say. or II he wants to say nothing. he
can hold his peace. There Is nothing COM
pulsory about it. 1t is purely a matter OF
free will. The newspaper simply offers him
the opportunity Of addressing the public
great and enviable opportunity; and he can
do as he pleases about accepting 1t. But
only an unmannerly fellow would insult the
bearer Of a proffer 80 complimentary and
80 courteous.
