FLIES FROM NEW
YORK TO PHILADELPHIA.
Ohss. K. Hamilton Makes Trip of
86 Miles in 113 Minutes One of the
Greatest Feats in History.
Willi a ilull, leaile-n skv overhead
Charles K. Hamilton Monday, made
the most daiinj; tlijrht of his career,
traveling in Ins hi-plan from (Jov
ernor's Island, X. Y., to a point on
the outskirts of Philadelphia, a dls
lance of Hti miles in M'.i minutes.
A feature of t'he wonderful achieve
ment was the ease with which llamil
tan picked up and ifollowed a i'enn
Wvania train, trareline with almost
lightning speed. Aramling to his
propamine he flew from Governor's
Island to South Klizabeth, X. .1., where
tl train was awaiting his appearance,
From that point town after town
reported Hie amazing fact that the
rain had passwl "with Hamilton fly
ing directly over it."
Following are the statistics of Ham
ilton's flight :
Distance New York to Philadelphia,
Hti miles.
Time New York to Philadelphia
one hour and 53 minnlea.
Total round trip distance he
tween New York and Philadelphia.
ImrgeRt city-to-eity flight ever made by
an aviator.
Kpeel on New York to Philadelphia
flight averaged a mile per one minute
and 10 seconds or about lorty-six
miles an hour.
Start from flovernor's Island, 7:.K
a. in.
Finish at Philadelphia, 9:23 a. m.
Mr. Hamilton amused a large crowd
al Warden Citv recently by boarding
his craft and making a flight in a sup
posedly intoxicated condition. His
imitation of a drunken sailor of the
air was airmanship of the highest
type. The daring aviator sailed
across the open Held, with the motion
of a hobby horse, eut a oorner in the
same intolerant matter and then dart
ed down toward the spectators, enns
mg them to scatter in il direction.
While Hamilton 'was in the air but
ten minutes it was the most exciting
flight witnessed at Garden City in
manv days.
Vindication for Or. Kilgo.
Charlotte Chronicle.
The Chronicle regards the settle
ment of the North Carolina 'bond
problem, last week, as one f the
happiest incidents in the rerent his
tory of the Slate. In effect, the buy
er of these bonds waved them to the
country al large as a challenge to any
body who would doubt the credit of
North Carolina. As a matter of fact
there were more bidders that there
were bonds, and if the issue luiAJieen
for $."1,000,000 all of the bonds Would
have, been taken. The action of the
American Tobacco Company cannot
but lie regarded in the light of a vin
dication of lr. (now Bishop) John
Kilgo, against whom such a bitter war
was waged for accepting money from
that corporation. Dr. Kilgo was a
wise man. The aid which he receiv
ed from the Dukes enabled him to
build up one of the finest educational
institutions in the whole country
and through which he has turned out
an army of young men, who in their
various vocations are reflecting credit
on their Slate and the South, an array
that is. collectively, now one of the
greatest forces in the advancement of
tbs material interests ot Worth Caro
lina. But for Dr. Kilgo's policy, Trin
ity would even yet be an obscure and
struggling educational institution, in
stead of one whose fame is much more
than Statewide. The State is now in
the same boat with Dr. Kilgo.

Overman for Party Leader.
The following complimentary story
under the head ot "A New Leader
Apears'' was printed in the Wash
ington Times of Monday:
"A new Democratic leader is de
veloping in the Senate. This is Sena
tor Overman, of North Carolina. He
has figured more prominently during
the last two months than any Demo
crat on the floor. That is to say, he
has obtained more results.
'It was he who a few weeks ago i
itiatcd the filibuster atrainst the Lodge
resolution asking for $uV"i,l)INI with
which to pursue the cost of living in
quiry, lie convinced his Democratic
associates that the movement of the
Massachusetts man was designed to
provide the Republican party with
campaign material. Before the lili-
buater had proceeded ten days, Sena
tor l,od,'e withdrew bis bill.
''The latest legislative achievement
to the credit of Senator Overman wag
his success in putting through Hie an-ti-injiiuct
ion amendment to the rail
road bill. Thi prohibits the Federal
courts from interfering with the judg
ments of Stale courts without due
notice and a hearini:. This resolution
was presented as a surprise and its
idoptioii was a coiiijdete tthock in some
piarters.
"Just now 'when the Democrats are
hiokiug for a tlisir leader to succeed
Senator Money, who is to retire in
March. Overman looms up big. This
true in spile of the prominence ol
Senators Bailev, Raynor and Bacon,
ill nf who mure discussed for the floor
leadership of the minority."
