Oh noes! A Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, along with other society women, "were insultingly spoken to by beggars while driving in Fifth Avenue," according to the NYT's "Times Machine." Mounted policemen (that means they rode horsies) vowed to keep the peace. Mrs. Oelrichs was "grossly insulted" by said beggars, who also "spat upon her." Did society ladies get special protection from police after that? Definitely, maybe!
