It is effectual. COFFEE FUTURES AT NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3. Trading in contracts for the future delivery or coffee was established at the board of trade yesterday. Much Interest was taken In the trading by local commission and private wire houses, all of whom had representatives on the floor.

One thousand bagB were sold at the first call, contracts being for delivery in December at 6.75, January at 5.75, April at 5.90 and May at 6 cents. Bidding was fairly actlvo in all months, and some speculative interest was shown, which, it is expected, will develop into greater proportions in a short time. There are several heavy traders in the local cotton market who are taking an active interest in cofiee. Another Scandal in the Postoffice; It Is Trading in Stamps This Time day. Colmore converted again.

Score Sewanee 12, Alabama 0. An exchange of punts soon after the kickoff showed that both lines were strengthening. Finally, however, before time was up, Shaffer, Colmore, Stewart and Phillips worked the ball down the field steadily until the 6-yard line was reached. Then Phillips on a couple of bucks carried the ball over for the third touchdown. Colmore converted his third.

Score: Sewanee 18. Alabama 0. Second Half Brings Change. The second half brought about a decided brace by Alabama while Sewanee exhibited hardly as much endurance as in the first half. Colmore retired from the game and was substituted by E.

Kirby-Smith. Smith, of Alabama, kicked off 40 yards and Scarborough returned 15. Jones, the crack Sewanee end, is used for 8 yards around his opposing end. Successive bucks by ShaX-fer, Phillips, E. Kirby-Smith advanced the ball 19 yards when Sewanee was penalized 5 yards for a piece of thoughtlessness.

Contrary to the new rules, between the 25-yard lines, Sewanee failed to have seven men in the line when a tandem play was attempted. Stewart tried a fake kick and run but it netted Sewanee little or none and Phillips could find the line but for 3 yards. Here Alabamas brace in the line held Sewanee for downs and immediately followed Tuskaloosas roseate opportunity to score. They rushed the ball handily to the Purple 8-yard line and then by an unfortunate fumble by Burks, the sturdy athlete who had smote the Mountaineers line so wonderfully, the ball went over. Having held the Purples for three downs as stated, Alabama dashed into Sewanee with a heroic vim.

Smith tore through the left of center for 3 yards. Wyatt next signals and to the outsider it was the same droll of figures, not in the least betraying what he had up his sleeve. The ball was snapped by Gwinn with precision and the fast quarter booted the oval to the right soTtly and Alabama on-side regained the ball with a gain of 10 yards. Deafening shouts went up from the bleachers and side lines. This served to encourage Crimson and White.

Hall crossbucked to the right over tackle for 2 yards and Burks, now at full-back tore off 3 yards through center and 2 more in the same place. Smith shot over tackle 5 and Oates got 4 yards on a tackle-back formation. Smith again crossbucked 4 yards and McQueen is summoned from the line for a tandem combination right straight ahead, two of which got 8 yards. Smith took 2 yards through center. i Burks wssulted viciously to the right of center and the lnpact knocked the ball from Alabamas line.

Sewanee fell on it and rushed over tackles and around the ends for 40 yards, carrying the ball back to the center of the field. Here Phillips lost on a fumble and Alabama by a succession of bucks by Burks, Hall and Smith advanced 10 yards when another attempted quarterback trick gave the ball to Shaffer backing up the Purple line. Scarborough punted beautifully 40 yards up the field. Burks on a fake kick dashed in the open for 10 yards. A buck lost the ball and the hopes of Alabama went glimmering.

Sewanee securing the ball rushed it 45 yards by end runs of Shaffer and plunges of Phillips. From the Alabama 8-yard line Phillips destroyed the distance, worth three bucks, the Alabamians holding beautifully. Shaffer failed to convert into a goal. Score: Sewanee 23, Alabama 0. A kick-off by Scarborough for 45 yards and Edwards return of 15 followed by Hall's crossbuck of 5 yards marked the end of the game with the ball in Alabamas possession on her 30-yard line.

SLUMP IN COTTON AT NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3. Cotton opened wild and excited yesterday with prices far dowh from the closing prices of Saturday. The decline before it was arrested ran from 17 to 26 points. Quiet manipulation by shrewd shorts and the bearish weather reports, together with the disappointing advices from Liverpool were responsible for the drop.

December lost 26 points, going to 10 cents; January lost 21 points and March 17. Subsequently there was a partial recovery, Distributed Solely by R. D. BVRNETT CIGAR CO FLORENCE HILLMAN NEW BANK BUILDING. Outweighed nearly ten pounds to fhe man, but never daunted through the entire contest, the Alabama football team last afternoon valiantly held the Sewanee eleven sto the score of 23 to 0.

Though vanquished by a veteran spirit of the Mountaineers combined with clipping of the ends and line assault, the Alabamians stiffened as the game grew old in both the offense and defense. The gallant wearers of crimson and white found a few weaknesses in the purple line, and crashed through for uniform gains quite beyond the expectation of the Sewanee boys. Game Was Brilliant. The game was one" of the most brilliant In the short history of football in Birmingham. The last half was an exhibition that would place Alabama in the same class with Coach Whitneys men, while the first half was marked by a decided superiority of the latter.

Only an unfortunate fumble near the beginning of the latter half could have prevented Tuskaloosa from scoring, it is strongly believed by experts who noticed the successful steady plunges of the Alabama backs. Splendid Offensive Work. Holding the purple and white for downs on tKe latters 50-yard line, the Alabamians seized the oval and took surprising offensive brace. Burks, Smith and McQueen were hurled through the opposing line with a clock-like regularity, and this, with a beautiful quarterback kick to the right, executed by Wyatt, captain of Alabama, advanced the ball to the Sewanee 8-yard line, when a fumble gave the ball to Sewanee. Sewanee then rushed the hall to mid-field, when Phillips, the ponderous guard, fumbled In one of his bucks, and Alabama carried the ball to the purple 25-yard line.

Only one touchdown was made in this half, three being annexed by Sewanee in the first Notes of Special Plays. Alabama did not try an end run during the game, while Sewanee, organizing a compact "Interference, skirted Tuskaloosas ends almost at will for appreciable gains. For Sewanee Col-more deserves credit fsr the longest gains and pluckiest offensive work.His conversion of the first three goals was pretty work also. Phillips was called back from guard, and hewed out great gains over tackles and straight ahead bucks. His open breast attack on the line helped him to keep his feet after the momentum was Fullback Stewart also store through the line on crossbucks, and the halves bowled them over only rarely.

The Alabama center, Gwinn, played his opponent to a standstill. The Alabama line charged down beautifully, and often played havoc with the opponents in opening up. For Alabama, Burks was easily the star at fullback, and for a time left half. Wyatt played a steady game, never fumbling, but a little slow in preparing for scrimmages. His quarterback kick to right in the second half, netting a gain of ten yards, was the feature of the game.

Line-Up of the Teams. The following were the line-ups of the two teams: Sewanee Wheeless. left end; Kirby-Smith, captain, left tackle; Harper, left guard; Watkins, center; Phillips, right guard; Brong, right taclue; Jones, right end; Scarborough, quarterback; Colmore and E. Kirby-Smith, left half; Shaffer, right half; Stewart, fullback. Alabama Lodge, left end; Boyles, left tackle; Oates, left guard; Gwinn, center; Redden, right guard; Mc-Queeh, right tackle; Sherill, right end; Wyatt, captain, qu; ter back Burks, and Hall, left half; Smith, right half; McMahon and Burks, fullback.

Referee Rowbotham, of Tufts. Umpire Tutwiler, of Virginia. Linesmen Drennen and Wheat. Time of halves 25 minutes. The Game In Scarborough kicked off 45 yards and Smith of Alabama returned 15.

Smith got a half-yard on a crossbuck. He annexed 7 more on a couple of tandem bucks. McMahon got 1 yard-straight ahead and Burks 6 yards on a crossbuck. Smith took 2 yards out of center and McMahon 4 through the sam place. Burks crossbucked to right for 5 yards and shot straight ahead for 4.

McMahon ploughed through center for 4, Smith crossbucked to left for 1 and Burks tore off 4 yards straight ahead. McMahon to right of center, Burks crossbuck and Smiths plunge straight ahead landed the ball on Sewanees 35-yard line where Smith fumbled and the ball went over to the Mountaineers, This uniform rush of the Alabamians showed an excellent set of backs for them and no particularly strong line for Sewanee. On three bucks of Phillips lor a net gain of 13 yards, and three end runs by Colmore for a net of 75 yards Sewanee placed the ball on Alabamas 2-yard line when Shaffer was sent over for the first touchdown of the game on a crossbuck to left. Colmore easily converted and the score: Sewanee 6, Alabama 0. a Pretty Trick, Phillips kicked off 48 yards and Wyatt returned 15.

With a tandem formation over guard 2 yards are gained. Burks at this juncture showed his speed and bucking ability by breaking through the right of center for 12 yards. After two more scrimmages, Wyatt decided to punt which went 20 yards. End runs by Colmore and Shaffer and the formers plunge over right tackle placed the oval on Alabamas 13-yard line. Here a neat trick play was handed out by Sewanee.

An end run was feigned and a bunch of interference shot around right end while the ball nestled in Shaffers bosom and he darted straight ahead Tor 10 yards. T. Kirby-Smith was then railed back from tackle and hurled against the Alabama line twice, making the Becond touchdown of the 1910 Filst Avenue LOSS, HALF MILLION. CRESTLINE, Nov. 3.

Pass Agent. BROOKLYN, ffov. 3. Postmaster-General Payne fiaa admitted that an investigation is being made of charges involving the office of Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden In connec- tion with the speculation of philatelists in certain valuable specimen postage stamps. The charges were in a philatelic organ in April, 1902, but were only brought to the attention of the President-and postmaster general, it is stated, last Friday, when an investigation of the matter was Immediately ordered.

The investigation i3 still in progress. Mr. Madden today gave out a staters ment in whicll he says: "I court the 1810 THIrd Avenue. poolroom system, saying that if Richard Roe could get Captain Piper to consent to a quiet running of pool-rooms until January 1 he would pay Captain Piper $300,000, and would pay the handsome sum of $75,000 to Richard Roe for his services. "Richard Roe was very indignant, said the commissioner, "and ordered the man out of the office.

He has not seen him since. Later the friend told Captain Piper of the incident. The matter was laid before District Attorney Jerome, who said as there were no witnesses no indictments could be obtained. fullest and most searching investigation. It will show the absolute falsity of such charges.

There has not been during my administration a single stamp sold or a single proof of a stamp sold by me to any collector or to any other person whatsoever. Any statement to the contrary is false. Fourth Assistant ISisimaster General Bristow, who has charge of the post-office investigation, was closeted with Mr. Madden today, presumably in connection with the published statements. Postmaster General Payne says that while the charges made in the philatelic journal were not directed against Mr.

Madden, the allegations involved his office. constantly occupied in reading the Bi ble, desiring isolation, and as maintaining a dignified bearing. But he is calmly resigned to the events in South Africa, The Patrie asserts that an unwritten chapter of the war will appear later, disclosing fhe fact that the Boers relied on the promises of Germany, but Great Britain succeeded in gaining German neutrality. It will also be shown, the Patrie adds, that the Boers had planned to cripple British com' merce by the fitting out of privateers, which Mr. Kruger prevented, not wish ing to have to resort to such a supreme remedy, train there was a slight panic, but swift work by the guards prevented any injury to the passengers.

BLOODY RIOT AT WARSAW. BERLIN, Nov. 3. A dispatch to the Tageblatt from Posen says that bloody conflict between 500 Jews and a force of Russian gendarmerie took place at Warsaw Saturday during the enlisting of recruits.

Paul Kruger, the former president of the Transvaal republic, replying yesterday to the gift of a statue from subscribers I to the Patrie, said: do not despair. A man of my age has no further earthly expectations, but I have confidence In the justice of God.
