girl nodded smiling assent.
The oil lady had fallen asleep over
her knitting. so she stood uncertain

up quickly. tearing at her skirts and
tossing the hair about her eyes as she
groped confusedIy for the handle of
the little iron door, but even as she
reached to grasp it the door blew shut,
there was i metallic click, and she
knew that in closing the door had

Selling an opportune moment between
showers, he was of before those on
the ship. with him and on the other
vessels stationed at various points
nearby to follow and assist him in case
of need, were aware that he was ready
for his fight. the first Of its kind the
world has ever seen.
Ely proved that It is possible to fly
safely from a ship, and, after having
done this, asserted with emphasis that
it would be an easy matter for an
aeroplane to alight on a vessel. either
while the latter was moving or stand
ing still.
Naval experts who witnessed the
flight expressed their belief that the
navies of the world in the future must
take the aeroplane into consideration
when mapping out plans of action.
Uses Famous Machine.
Starting out from the Norfolk navy
yard at 1890 o'clock on the Birming-
ham. closely followed by the swift
greyhounds of the navy, the two tor
pedo boat destroyers Roe and Terry.
and by the torpedo boats Bailey and
Stringham, it was fully four hours
later before Mr.. Ely's machine was
working TO his full satisfaction.
The machine in which he flew was
the one which Glenn Curtiss sailed
down through the air channels of the
Hudson river valley from Albany to
New York. II had seen two previous
cross-weter flights, one over Lake Erie
from Euclid Beach TO Cedar Point and
back. a distance of 20 miles; the other
by Mr.. Curtiss himself over the At
lantic ocean off Atlantic City, when it
covered a distance of 80 miles.
The distance which Mr. Ely flew yes
terday was nearly five miles. The Biz
mingham was lying in the Roads only
quarter of a mile from the Hotel
Chamberlin, but in making his flight
to Willoughby Spit he flew in a curve
so that, while the exact distance could
not be determined. it was believed he
covered almost five miles.
It was 3:16 o'clock when he took to
the air. Five minutes later he was safe
on the solid soil of Virginia a few
miles north of Norfolk.

TURKEY PRICES WAY Up

CHICKENS ALSO VERY DEAR
But Thanksgiving Week Inf1u-
ences Cause Another Drop in
Beef and the Like.

Turkeys are higher this Thanksgiving
than for many years. A large retail dea Ter
said yesterday: 1T is the terriblest turkey
market ever seen In lots of 1000 each the
lowest price quoted was said to be 2615
cents a pound. which means 33 to 30 cents
a pound retail. Turkeys are hard to get in
this city at any price. it is said. and the
same situation holds with regard 10 chick
ems The commission men could not supply
the demand. A dealer tried to buy one
batch of 400 chickens from a wholesale
, house at the iobbers own price. But he
could not get the chickens because he was
the sixth man in the line and the other five
had been promised their proportion
The favorite explanation offered yester-
day for the shortage was that the recent
agitation for lower prices had caused a
mild panic among the farmers They were
reported to have demanded that the com
mission men guarantee them certain figures
for their poultry, which the jobbers in
most all cases refused to do, The farmers
have retaliated, il is said, by holding their
stock.
There is said to be plenty of poultry in
the country. Chickens brought 10 cents
pound wholesale and were selling at 20
cents in the butcher shops
The wholesale price of beef dropped in
pound less than last weeks prevailing
prices This situate was reflected in the
butcher shops, the quotations running as
