SEVEN HECTIC DAYS IN GOTHAM

years, and the women's reform asso- citations are still asking dazedly what happened
 Admit Women Are People
 Oh, we'll, "Women are people," as the republican women leaders sadly admitted next day. And every wom- to be different" The enlightening fact gleaned from this contest Is that womens votes follow the lead of mems. And this. too, with As much docility as if the word emancipation had never been coined. Walt till next election.' say the women re- formers darkly. Business of waiting -four years.
 Meanwhile, all women have one cause for joy. A woman will be the next register. She is Miss Annie Mathews, the Tammany candidate, and she takes charge-at s12,0O0 a year-of the most important job te which New York has ever elected n woman. For the benefit of woman candidates, it Is worth noting that Miss Helen Varick Boswell the de- feated republican nominee for regis ter, wore black satin with facings of gray when she cast her vote, while Miss Mathews wore dnrk blue trico. tine and violets.
 Jimmy Ryan got so het up over the election that he violently fought his own reflection in gum machine mir TOT at the foot of the subway stairs. and then rushed down the track to give combat to an oncomlng subway train. The motorman saw Ryan and stopped the train few inches from his toes. Ryan stood there with doubled fists. daring the train to nit him, until a patrolman arrived. Tn en Ryan darted under the station plai : form and played tag to the accom- paniment of yells from the police and shnieks from the commuters. When finally captured. Ryan blamed it all on the election. But the magistrate I laid part of the blame on liquor and sent Ryan to the workhouse.
 How to Stop n Horse.
 Incidentally, the week has demon strated the best way to stop a run away horse. You bite him. Policeman Peter Dallochi caught runaway horse by the bridle and was being dragged down Third avenue when he foresaw that if the horse were not halted pretty soon it would run into group of children. Dallochi accord
 
 enthusiasm that the astounded ant nal swerved and brought up against an elevated pillar. This method IS a success so Dallochi says, nine cases out of ten. But 1t gets your mouth full of fur.
 The weeks lucky lad was Frank | Siyelli a cobbler. He began to cob | ble an old shoe when from 1t dropped wad of paper which proved to bt l 50 $1O0 bills. In a few minutes the woman owner of the shoe dashed 1T 1 to claim her savings, and to shower Siyelli with gratitude and reward Both the champions of thrift and is' | opponents have claimed this inciden as an illustration Of their beliefs.
 A coterie of the thriftiest men il New York got s35.000 worth of fur 1 in 10 minutes the other morning. The' l drove a motor truck up to the iron ! of a fur shop and tried to put ; 1 burglar alarm out of order. Tn, | alarm. however, began to ring. Moth i ing daunted, the thieves entered tn shop, made quick and wise selec | tion of the finest coats, and disap | peared in their truck before the DO liceman came. He came within l | minutes of the ringing of the alarm A year ago the thieves would hay ! required a good l5 minutes for thi l work. It just shows how everythin, I improves with practice.
