The Snanshnt Nuisance.

There will be scant sympathy with the
unlucky photographer who was fined in
the night court on Monday for making
a nuisance Of himself in front Of Madison
Square Garden. He was only an en-
plOyee, to be sure. earning his living,
but the annoyance to which he subjected
several persons was great, and one which
is increasing constantly. One need not
be in public life or conspicuous in any
walk to earn the attention Of the pro-
fessional snapshotter, and the protection
formerly enjoyed by the humble and
lOwly through their modest situation is
continually decreasing.
The illustrated periodicals are respOn-
sible for these invasions Of privacy, which
result in exhibiting men and women to
their acquaintances and to the world at
large In the most unsatisfactory and
undignifled poses. Years ago the cam
era was trained only on nOtables, either
at their own request or with their i'm
piled sanction, while they were appear

Is likely to find himself perpetuated in
pictures showing him In the act of tying
his shoe lace or brushing his hat. The
audacity and resourcefulness Of the
photographers have no limits, and the
good taste and considerateness Of their
employers appear to be entirely unde-
veloped.
A study OF the illustrated press win
furnish ample explanation Of the reason
why tho most beautiful and vain OF
women or tho handsomest and most
concsited Of men should object to the
casual photographer. It Is not given to
all to look their best ss they climb into

that could be found In tho Wichita game
reserve. The, grasses are unexcelled and
there are running streams in plenty;
high hills and valleys and plain give the
desired diversity, and the range is large
enough to keep the animals wild and free.
It will not hurt them either 10 be sub
jected to a little human oversight. They
will sometimes appreciate in winter the
sheds that have been built to ward on
the most inclement storms and the hay
barn stocked with prOvender to tide over
any period Of scanty grazing.
The whole country will be glad to hear
now and then that this herd is prOspering
and increasing for it is hoped to make
these fifteen bufalOes the nucleus OF a
new national herd. Through them, it is
believed, the American bison may be
preserved from utter extinction. They
were gift to the American people from
the New York Geological Park and were
the pick of a splendid herd of forty-tive
animals that were living in The Bronx.
Notwithstanding the splendid condition
of this herd. DIR. HORNADAY and the other
officials Of the park knew that these ami
mails could never be perpetuated in full
vigOr in the restricted area to which they
were here confined. 1t was better TO
return a carefully selected herd to the
public lands where they might live and
multiply amid surroundings such as were
once the home Of millions Of their kind.
The offer of this herd was made to the
Secretary of Agriculture, who promptly
accepted il. 1t Is the only way to per-
petuate the bison. The herd in the
Yellowstone National Park has been
gradually decreasing. Even severe PEN
alties imposed for killing them in the
park have not prevented depredations by
poachers, who have been tempted to run
the risk when buffalo hides we're bring
ing from $50 to $500.
The New York Geological Park will
still continue to show the finest exhibi-
ton herd in the country. Ten lusty
calves have been born there this year,
and the bison promises to be always
among the prominent exhibits Of the

The echoes of the great test ride con-
tinue to reverberate. The worst havoc
occurred in the Engineer Corps, some of
whose distinguished members have more
use for dolphin than for a bronco.
We refer To Colonels who have charge of
river and harbor works that are being
pushed to completion under their per-
sonal direction. Boards OF trade and the
transportation associations are greatly
concerned TO see engineer officers who
have been ION the job" for several years,
TO Use a phrase universally understood,
remain at their posts until a channel has
been deepened or a harbor basin wi
dened To have them snatched away in
the meridian of their usefulness would be
a grievance not TO be borne unprOtest-
ingly. But that IL actually threatened
by the drastic army ride order
In harbor work an engineer officer
who is no longer young nor longer rides
a horse in the performance of his duties
has a tendency to take on flesh. For
instance, there is Colonel WILLIAM L.
MARSHALL, who has been in charge OF
that imperative improvement the con-
struction Of the Ambrose Channel at
New York General GRANT excused Col
onel MARSHALL from galloping, trotting
and riding fifteen mhes on the back of a
horse because he was too heavy for
equestrian exercise, his weight having
gone up to 800 pounds.
II the President obdurately stands
upon the enforcement of his order TO
the letter in all cases, Colonel MARSHALL
must leave the service, although he is
almost, II not quite, indispensable as
the engineer in charge OF New York
harbor. The same fate impends over
Colonel CHARLES +. DAVIS. who is in
charge OF river and harbor improve
ments at Detroit, and who was excused
from the test because he was physically
inCapa' y of taking the ride. Colonel
DAvIs's services have been OF inestima-
BILE value to shipping interests on the
lakes, and he never misses a day from
his duties. IL the President insists on
having engineer officers who can ride
bucking broncOs on the New York and
Detroit assignments, the harbor works
may suffer, but a great principle will
have triumphed. A sense Of the fitness
Of things would seem to require in tho
cases of COlOnels MARSHALL and DAVIS
