73 Years Old.
New York Herald Syndicate.
' New York, June 19.-Brandy of th
vintage of 1838 the year of the coro
nation! of Queen Victoria of England
will be served at tlie coronation
dinner to be given at the Hotel Plaza
Thursday night, wnen, loyal British
subjects at present in America will
drink to the health, long life and hap
piness of King George V.' Thomas
Pearson, wine steward at the Plaza,
said that the brandy has "the nose,
flavor, and bouquet which appeals to
the palate, smell and taste."
"There are only eleven quart bottles
of this brandy In existence," suld Pear
son, "and these were purchased by Mr.
Sherry at an auction sale at Christy's,
in London, in June, 1906, We have
every known vintage in our $500,000
collection here at the Plaza, but theru
Is no brandy In the world which can
compare with the contents of these
eleven bottles." At retail, the brandy
could not be sold for less than $40 a
quart, $3 a drink or $2 a pony glass."
Gazette-News Bureau,
The Hotel Raleigh,
Raleigh, June 19.
majority of the people of
North Carolina are rather slow
crawl on any particular can
didate's bandwagon just yet, so far as
the senatorial race is concerned. With
more than a year intervening before
the state democratic convention can
call a primary or two primaries, for
that matter. It will take both, It now
seems to decide what candidate shall
be the nominee many of the people
are doing a lot of thinking but sitting
still. Every now and then one hears
someone like Governor Glenn; for In
stance, or Governor Jarvls, climbing
on the bandwagon of ex-Governor Ay
cock and every now and then someone
will make a trip out lnlthe bushes and
bring In reports that the country has
gone for Aycock. This may or It may
not be true but from careful observa
tion It seems that much depends upon
the result of this extra session of
congress. One prominent gent'eman
remarked today: . 1
"If Farm Products Should Tumble".
"If reciprocity should be enacted
and farm products should go tumb
ling, as they are wont to do sometimes,
then there would be a powerful cor-respon-Jmir
rise in .Senator 'Simmons
stock." This i gentleman said that
people had better wait for a while be
fore passing out their judgment too
strongly. This gentleman was of the
opinion that a year from now some
people might be looking at things Just
a little differently, and not at all to
the disadvantage of Senator Simmons.
Kltehln Getting Stronger.
If there Is a man who Is getting
stronger with the people every day, it
Is the Hon. W. W. Kltehln, governor of
North Carolina, and there are many
who hold to the view that 'the race
will narrow nown between Senator
Simmons and Governor Kltehln, while
some put it Kltehln and Aycock, Clark
will have many votes but many are of
the opinion that he will come fourth
In the race. ,
Fig I it as to the Primary.
A big light, it now appears will
liic-m upon the next state democratic
convention! as to the proper time for
holding the primary for senator.
There are many people who want it
on the same date as the November
election. It Is thought that by clear
ing the senatorial fight away before
the November election it will enable
the democratic party to put up a much
better fight against the republicans In
the fall. They figure that with a party
badly split up between the four sena
torial candidates, there will not be the
careful attention paid to county oftl
, cers, etc.. and that the republicans
may be able to elect their candidates
In some of the olose counties. Others
say that holding It on the election
day will greatly Increase the demo
cratlti vote and there will be no chance
for the republicans at all.
Some of the republicans -have ex
pressed the opinion that the republl
cans should decide upon a candidate
for the senate and vote for him the
same day lo prevent republlcaes par
tirlpatlng In the democratic primaries.
The only question Is. can the repub
lleans unite upon a man who Is accep
table In all factions? Many believe
It can be done.
Hem! by Faker.
Developments of a rather sensa

Total Deposited in First 48 in Five
Months of Their Operation
Was $390,666.
Washington, June 19. Postmaster
General Hitchcock in a statement
made public today shows that the to
tal amount of money deposited In the
first 48 postal savings banks during
their five months operation was 1390,
666. The second group of 45 deposi
tories which were opened for busi
ness on May 1 made a remarkably
good showing compared with the
offices of the first group which were
opened on January' S. During the
first month these offices, three less In
number than the first group, received
In deposits $70,749 $8944 or 14.47
per cent, more than was received at
the initial offices after one month's
operation. There were $119 separate
deposits, averaging $33.39.
July 1 It will be possible for aepos
Itors to convert their savings Into
United States bonds, bearing $1 per
cent Interest. Mr, Hitchcock states
that already a large number of appll
cations, with surrendered certificates
of deposit, have been received at the
central offices In Washington. An in
teresting feature In this connection Is
the fact that a large proportion of
the applicants are patrons who have
consistently deposited the sum of
$100 each calendar month since the
installation of the system, which Is
the maximum allowed an Individual
under the law. ." ' ,
The postmaster general considers
the dally reports received from the
offices Installed during ths past
month very encouraging and it Is
safe to assume that by the close of
the present fiscal year, June $0, 1911
there will be on deposit In the various
postal savings banks approximately
$1,000,000.
EWPORT, TENN, Juno 19. The
wounded men In yesterday's ac
cldent at the convict camp near
Watervllle, Tenn., m which four ne
groes were killed have nil been cared
for and it is thought there will be no
more deaths. A representative ot the
North Carolina, state prison arrived
here from Raleigh this morning and
will leave this evening with those of
his prisoners who are able for tho
Journey for .Raleigh, there being no
place in the mountains now where
they can be kept. . ... .
Inferior Workmanship.
The cause of. .the accident is attrl
buted to inferior workmunshlp of
those who constructed the building,
a log "bullpen.". The prisoners In
jured, although, negroes, and . being
something unusual . In this section of
country, have received the. very best
attention from physicians and cltl
zens. The T. & N. C. railroad Is
sparing no pains to render every as
sistance to their competitors, the
Transcontinental, on whose grade the
men Were working, and for the time
being alt hostilities have been drop
ped and all hands are working to
gether for the preservation of life.
The fact that the prisoners injured
and killed were prevented from mak
ing an attempt to save their lives by
the balls-attached to their legs seem
ed to arouse sympathy of- the moan
tain people and they worked as en
ergetically to save piem fronijja!n.U
tend death as' if they hadbeen white
people..
Slid Down 65 Feet.
The collapse of the bullpen occur
red yesterday. Suddenly the struct
ure slid down the mountain side 65
feet, killing four convicts, all negroes,
and Injuring all the other occupants,
including Capt. J. E. Hosklns of Rat
elgh, who was In eharge, and Guards
J. E. Nichols and Ed McKerney. Capt.
Hosklns was painfully hurt, and It
was necessary to dig him from the
wreckage.
The Dead.
The dead are:.
ALBERT WYNN, of Goldsboro,

ceiving stolen goods.
WILL GREEN of Raleigh, four
years for murder.

HAVANA,' June 19. The Maine
pumping continued today and
the sphynxlike mass of steel Is
slowly rising out or Havana harbor.
At the suggestion of Major Fergu
son the board has decided to go slow
ly. Every inch the water lowers
shows something new and of Bpeclal
interest In connection with the rais
ing of tho battleship.
The officers' quarters are showing
above the water' astern. Through
the open ports one may see mud
plied over the machinery and the
furniture of the officers' quarters, but
so far as could be ascertained there
was nothing disturbed aft of where
the terrible wreckage occurred.
Above the superstructure on the
main deck two doors were found
closed and one open. As the ship
sank this door gave egress to many
of the crew.
Significant of Unwritten Chapter.
The ship sank more rapidly than
was supposed, and havoc In the on I
cers' quarters Is significant of an un
written chapter in the tragedy.
The cofferdam Is holding out well.
The - explorers have recovered
plates and other chinaware In the
officers' quarters. All were in a good
state of preservation. An officer's
dress sword was found behind the
forward port side door leading from
the officers quarters to the spar aeeK.
The inference Is that some officer
hastening to the deck and' buckling
on his sword as he ran, was compelled
to abandon It and escape In the rush
of Water over the spar deck.
A curious indication of the slight
force of the explosion felt In the after
