The Norwegian steamship, lumber laden for Port Pirie, Australia, yester day evening sailed outward. Her master had assumed to stand for cer tain things in a business way and stoutly refused to acceed to anything not entirely consonant with his views of the situation, but when he discov ered that he could not clear at the custom house "without the formal "clearance" ' of his agents here, and that his contunacy was likely to cost his ownert several hundred dollars a day, he gave in to the charterers, and went on his way as all good mas: ters do.

SERIOUS CHICAGO STRIKE. CHICAGO, Aug. 6 Unless a set tlement is made today the strike of electrical workers in the West Park system may involve 3,000 park em ployes affiliated with the Associated building trades. 'Indorsement of the strike was voted by the buil ding trades workers employed by the west parkboard. Should the threat be car ried out, all new construction and im provement work now tinder way in the West side parks will be tied up. In addition to that the parks will be in darkness until lamp men and other electrical, workers are obtained by the park commissioners. NEW YORK, Aug. 6. It is learn ed from friends of Mrs. Russell Sag that she is thinking seriously of pur chasing Constitutional Island m the tipper Hudson opposite West Point, and presenting it to the United States government as a site on which to er ect the world's greatest military pre paratory school, a school that wilt be to West Point what Eton is" to Ox ford and Lawrenceville is to Prince ton. She is very much in earnest about this project. She will send a repre sentative to West I'oint within a few days to look into the matter and put her in possesion of all the facts con cerning Constitutional island, the at titude of the West Point authorities toward the idea and whether con gress is likely to give its sanction in the event of Mrs. Sage obtaining title to the property. Mrs. Sage would like to give to West Point a preparatory school, it is said, where boys, partic ularly those from remote places where the public schools are not the best, can receive the preparatory edu cation necessary to pass the rigid ex amination required of all candidates for cadetships at the United States military academy. In recent years the percentage of cadets who have been lost to the army as a result of their inability to pass the West Point entrance examinations has been very large particularly in the mathematical branches. f It is to remedy this that Col. Scott, Superintendent at West Point and the higher officials of the war department are anxious to ac quire Constitutional island and utilize it for a training school for West Point cadets. President Roosevelt is said to be in favor of the plan to es tablish such a school and it is certain that even if Mrs. Sage does not pre sent the island to the government a determined effort will be made in the next congress to get an appropriati on. Whether Mrs. Sage is considerating also the advisability of giving the mo ney with which to build such a school the friend who told of the Constitu tional island plan said he did not know.

I Jaloffs, The Style Store f KENTUCKY BLAZE. MIDWAY, Ky., Aug. 6.-This town, half way between Lexington and Frankfort, was the scene of a fire that for a time threatened the town with destruction last night. The fire, which is believed to have been of incendiary origin destroyed five warehouses of the S. J. Greenbaum distilling company entailing a loss es timated at $300,000. The amount of insurance is not known but it is be lieved the loss is amply covered. The flames, caused by the burning of the 47,000 barrels of whisky which turned a creek nearby into a fiery stream, could be seen for ten miles. The flames, as they coursed down the sur face, of the creek destroyed the South ern railroad trestle and half a dozen negro cabins. EXCITEMENT IS FEVERISH.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Mending a broken arm witli a nail is the extra ordinary f!t tn surgery whkli has just been performed successfully by Harlem hospital surgeons. It was a plan resorted to alter usual methods had tailed and when the case teemed to bi hopeless. Now the limb oper ated upon is as sound as ever it was. Charles Nelson, 15 .years old, was injured in a car wreck. He sus tained a severe fracture, which caused one bone to lap over another. He was taken to the Harlem hospital and the arm put in a splint but the bones did not set. Thereupon the surgeons resolved upon the novel method of treatment. The lad was put under the influence of ether, and an incision was made in the arm just above the wrist joint. What is called the shaft of the bone was priod open and the two overlapping bones were set to gether. Meanwhile a steel nail about an inch and a half long had been carefully sterilized and medicated. A vice of cotton and other material was made for the arm and with an ordi nary hammer the nail was driven in to the arm, piecing both bones tn much the same fashion as two board would" be fastened together. The splints were then replaced. " Nelson returned to the hospital j yesterday and it was found that his; arm was as strong as it had been be-! fore the accident. A few minutes! later the boy was playing ball in the, street. I The "Tweeri Hat" import ed "from Lon don by P. A. Stokes. First time ever sold in Astoria. Bound to be a winner.
