COLORED WOMEN
FAIL TO APPEAR

New Orleans. March 27.-Thc threat
ened trouble over the color question
having simmered down. the national
council of women of the United States
opened its executive session here to
day. and the general officers held their
public reception tonight. No negroes
were present on either occasion.
Mrs. May Wright Sewall. president
OF the international Council. said
there had never been any probability
OF the attendance Of a colored woman
at the social functions. Similar recep.
tions had always been given at the
North. but on no occasion had negro
woman attended. There are only two
colored women in the world entitled
to be present at the business sessions
here. said Mrs. Sewall. One was Mrs.
Yates of Missouri. The other was
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
to me that she never had any intention
of participating in the meeting con.
tinued Mrs. Sewall. "and so there
never has been any prospect of ming
ling of the whites and blacks during
our stay in New Orleans"
The agitation will probably result in
the future separation of the conven'
tions of the National Suffrage Associa.
ton and the national council of women
which have heretofore always been
held in the same city at the same time

the progressive union auspices. Mrs

Rumor Of Su-ar Railroad.

Denver, March 2S.-The Republican
prints the following:
There is a report to the effect that
all the beet sugar factories of north
ern Colorado will shortly be connected
by a system of railroads built by the
beet sugar interests themselves. 1t Is
said the charter of the Great Western
railroad, which was Incorporated last
year, will be utilized, and that the
road will ultimately be built into Den
yer. No definite confirmation was
given the report by those of the beet
sugar offices in the city, and local
railroad men are inclined to believe
that the railroad companies will look
after these matters without the or
ganization of a separate and compet-
Ing company.

Snuff Dipping in New York.

just as it is in the South. The habit
became pronounced in New York about
two years ago.
Snuff is much cheaper than tobacco
and it is favored with all sorts OF

distasteful than the brand sold a good

corning Hawaii. and that the Chamber
