about the realization of their pet ob- | jects. Both organizations sent com mittees to Albany to buttOnhole the legislators and persuade them that with out woman s suffrage the common wealth was bound to go to the bow VOWS. During the first stages of en- thusiasm some prominent society wo- men of New York had taken it upon themselves to lobby for woman s suff- | rage, but society women cannot devote themselves exclusively to one single hobby. They have many social and other duties to perform and, recogniz- ing that she had to give up either her allegiance to the "cause' or neglect her social duties, one of the two society leaders compromised matters by employ ing, at her own expense a professional lobbyist, who remained in Albany, while she returned to Gotham. Whether the fact that the paid lobby ist is a "mere man. had something to do with it, or whether the lobbying methods of the man clashed with those of the feminine committee, is not defin- itely known. But the fact remains, that several of the women withdrew from the committee and clearly perceptible wave of polar frigidity settled down upon the relations between the two rival suffrage organizations. It is fear ed that this little unpleasantness may have an unfavorable effect upon the chances of the proposed suffrage law.
 The suffragists are indeed hard to please. One of the legislators in All bany was accommodating enough to in- troduce law to submit the question whether women in the state of New York should be granted the right to vote at all elections to vote of the women of the state. The outcome of that test vote would have definitely settled the question whether a major ity of the women actually wished to have the right to vote. The plan seemed perfectly fair, but it did n' appeal to the suffragists who, probably realizing that they were greatly in the minority, do not wish such a test, as they fear it would set back their move ment many years. Of course, they are vigorously opposed to the bill and there is but little hope that it will become law.
 It is dangerous thing for a man with money in his pocket to be kind and accommodating to "ladies" in dis dress whom he may find upon the streets after dark. Only a short time ago a banker was robbed by two women m a much frequented street. He lost $2S,- 900 and foolshly permitted the matter to become public. As result his whole business career was ruined and he was compelled to leave the country. The other day young Californian with 5000 in his clothes, was incautiOus enough to assist strange 'Hady" who was "taken sick" on the street. After the aforesaid "ladyn and her com panion had gone their way, the gallant westerner found to his dismay that his money had gone with them. He notified the authorities, but was wise enough not to give his real name and to leave the city without delay.

 Two boys had the time of their life the other night in the front row of the gallery of one of the uptown theat- CTS. The boys occupied seats in the front row of the gallery and when the lights were turned down for the nov inr picture part of the program, the mschievous imps began to throw tor pedoes upon the heads of the people in the parquet. With fendish delight the urchns picked out for their targets all the bald heads they could see in the parquet and there were a great many of them. The boys aim was unerring and every explosion was followed by a howl from the owner of the bald head struck. This seemed to amuse the rest of the people, but when the missiles came down promscuousy there was a general uproar. The boys were arrest ed, but their fond mothers will see to it that no harm shall befall them in the children $ court.

 In few months the old Grand Cen, tra station on Forty second street, which was originally built about forty years ago and rebuilt in 1898 and 1900, will be thing of the past On May the work of tearing down the old build ing will begin and after that task is completed new and much larger sta ton will be built in the same place now occupied by the old structure. The railroad offices in which many hundreds of clerks are employed are now being moved to the temporary offices erected on Lexington avenue and the traffic is gradually shunted to the temporary yards on the same thoroughfare. The old terminal occupies 23 acres and con tains % tracks. The new terminal will occupy 75 acres and have 67 tracks, of which 42 will be on the upper and 9 on the lower level. The upper level will be just under the street
