NO NEGRESS ON HAND
COUNCIL OF WOMEN PROCEEDS
 PLACIDLY.
Missouri Negress Sent Proxy to New Orleans Colored Women, Who Declined to Attempt to
 Make Use of it.

New Orleans, March 26.-The threatened trouble over the color question having simmered down, the National Council of Women of the United States opened its executive session here today and the general officers held their public recep- tion tonight. No negroes were present on either occasion.
 Mrs. May Wright Sewal1, President of the International Council, said there had never been any probability of the at tendance of colored woman at the social functions. Similar receptions had al- ways been given at the North, but on no occasion had a negro woman attend ed. There are only two colored women in the world entitled toI be present at the business sessions hdre, said Mrs. Sewall. One is Mrs. Yates of Missouri The other is Mrs. Williams of this city. Mrs. Yates could not come and sent her proxy.
 But Mrs. Williams, to whom the proxy was forwarded, has written me that she never had any intention of par ticipating in the meeting" continued Mrs. Sewall, ''and 50 there has never been any danger of a mingling of the whites and blacks during our stay in New Or leans"
 Mcs. Mary Wood Swift, ice-President presided over the meeting today, which was executive. Ms Sewall, President of the International Council, and Miss Susan B. Anthony, honorary President of the National Woman's Suffrage Asso- ciation, were the guests of honor, Mrs. Flo Jamson Miller, Corresponding Secre- tary presented a 'eport reviewing the work of the Council during the year and calling especial attention to the serious blow which it had sustained in the death NrS Hplmnth. There will be an open business session of the convention tomorrow.
 At the afternoon business session the National Press Bureaus report showed that not only had many more secretaries been appointed, but that many more newspapers throughout the country had consented to publish items concerning the work. The report on peace ana lh- ternational arbitration committee pre- gents It's most important report Of the convention, showing the spread of the movement. Another important action was the passage of an amendment to the constitution, concerning the admission of members In ihe future the Executive Board will pass upon qualifications of applying bodies, and all affiliated bodies will then vote upon the question of ad- mission.
 The unfortunate announcement of the possibility of colored delegates which i'm pelled local women to withdraw from the reception arrangements, not only made tonights reception by the national officers a slimly attended affair, but will probably result in the future sepa- ration of the conventions of the Ma tional Suffrage Association and the Ma tional Council of Women, which have heretofore always been held in the same city at the same time.
 The suffragists held a magnificent meet ing tonight under Progressive Union aus pices, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt de- nvering an address on "sWoman in Mu- nicinal Government"

TRUSTEES TO MEET APRIL 15.
Vacancies on the University Board
 Will Be Filled.

The Trustees of the University of Ala- bama will hold an important meeting April 15 at Tuscaloosa. The call for the meeting was sent out yesterday by Gov ernor Jelks.
 The principal matter that will come be- fore the Board at its meeting in April will be the election of two Trustees to fill the vacancies now existing. The death of Hon. Tennent Lomax of Mont gomery, created vacancy on the Board from the Second Congressional District and the death of Colonel John Caldwell of Anniston created vacancy in the rep resentaton from the Fourth Congress sional District.
 These vacancies will be filled by the election by the members of the Board The State Constitution especially pro yides that the members of the Board shall by election fill the vacancies. Ere Yious to the adoption of the Constitution the Governor appointed all members or the Board.
 The Constitution, however, contains one restriction upon the self-perpetuaung power of the Board. It provides that all nominations for membership of the Board of Trustees shall be confirmed by the State Senate. In the event the Senate shall fail to confirm any selection made by the Board the Senate shall make a substitute nomination.
 The elections of April B will be the first under the provisions of the ne" Constitution.
 Other matters relating to the welfare of the University will come before the Board at the Tuscaloosa meeting

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has Revolution ized the Treatment of Stomach
 Troubles.

The remedy Is not heralded as won derful discovery nor yet secret patent medicine, neither is it claimed to cure anything. except dyspepsia. indigestion and stomach troubles with which nine out of ten suffer.
 The remedy is in the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vegetable and fruit essences. pure asepuc pepsin government test.) golden seal and diastase. The tablets are sold by drug gists under 'he name of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets. Many interesting experi- ments to test the digestive power of Stuart's Tablets show that one grain of the active principle contained in them is most widely known of any treatment for stomach weakness.
 This success has been secured entirely Opon It's merits as a digestive pure and simple because there can be no stomach trouble if the food is promptly digested.
 Stuart.s Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on the food eaten. digesting it complete lv so that 1t can be assimilated into blood. nerve and tissue. They cure dys- pepsia water brash, sour stomach, gas and bloatfng after meals because they furnish the digestive power which weak stomachs lack and unless that lack is supplied it is useless to attempt to cure by the use of "tOncs," pills" and ca sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and other wholesome food
 Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after dinner pills and chear cathartics, which simply irritate and in- flame the intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food or cur ing indigestion.
 If the stomach can be rested and as- sisted in the work of digestion it will very soon recover its normal vigor as SsAhAr argument. su-wed-frL

Sunday Llouor Selling.

Chief of Police Case tonight in answer to a request for legal opinion as to the Sunday law received the following an- sver from City Attorney Boone:
 Complying with your request give you my opinion on the Sunday law in reference to bar rooms and restaurants.
 Both the State law and city ordinances prohibit the keeping open of bar-rooms or the sale of liquors therein on Sunday. A person who has license to operate a restaurant may, under the decision of most of the courts. sell liquor to one who is taking a bona-fide meal in such res taurant. the liquor being not the main thing sold but going merely as an incl dent to the meal And a person who holds both a restaurant license and a re- tail uduor dealers license and who sells both meals and such liquors in one build ing or in two buildings with an open passageway connecting them as one. must keep 1t closed on Sunday. unless he keeps
