One of the fatinclined men of New York has novel method of keeping himself in fine fettle. It is a push and-pull exercise.

Another is a box of chains that used to belong on Staten island fer " boat as a balance; it weighs 5000 pounds. Still another is a cast-off bull lion cart that used to do duty in the assay office; it weighs 1000 pounds, but may be loaded with pig iron up to 15,000 pounds. The exercise consists in pulling and pushing these vehicles over the floor, and, judging by the de veiopment of our friend, it is effective.

NAME WAS A COMPROMISE.
Explanation of Remarkable Cogno-
 men of Nevada Town.

A Nevada man having extensive mining claims in the goldheld region tells of lucky strike that was made last year near Carson City, strike that proved to be of such promise that goodly sized camp immediately sprang up aro1nd it.
 The two principal mine owners were, respectively, an Irishman and Jew, and as compliment to these leading citizens the camp decided to leave to them the bestowal of a suit able name upon the new community.
 There followed many conferences between the two, none of which result ed in an agreement. The Irishman stood out for a name that would sug- gest his native isle while the Jew was just as insistent, on his part, for name that should be suggestive of the chosen people. This deadlock con- tinued so long That the rest of the camp grew restless, and finally insist ed that there should be compromise. So the new camp was called "Tipperu- salem. ."-Lippincotts.

Hanqs Himself in Jail.

Bristol, Tenn.-Johnson City was the scene of a shocking triple trag. edy Sunday afternoon when William Bates, 30 years old went to the home of his brother-in-law, Burney Bayless, and, without word of warning. split Bayless' head open with an axe, kill ing him instantly, following which he turned on his own wife, who was visiting at the shome of Bayless, and following her into the yard, brained her with the same weapon.
 Bates was arrested and hurried to jail. To control him it became neces- sary to tie him with rope and with this rope he hanged himself in his cell, and was dead when discovered.
 The cause of the tragedy was in- sane jealoucy on the part of Bates. He and Bayless married sisters, and Bates wife was a guest at the Bayless home
 Bates resided al Embreeville, 13 miles south of Johnson Ci;y. He came to Johnson City Sunday morning ana waited an opportunity to accomplish his deed.

Consequently There Was an Awkward
 Perhaps in Funeral Grafton.

It was at the funeral of man who had left his young and attractive help meet widow for the third time At the time of his death their clergyman was away on European trip, and in this emergency the Rev. Dr. Blank was called upon.
 A neighbor instructed him hastily as to the admirable qualities of the deceased, his benevolence, piety and kind disposition, and gave him vari- ous points as to his family relations. During the funeral discourse no out sider would have suspected that the clergyman had not been a lifelong friend of the dead man. When, how ever, he came to mention the widow in his prayer, it was evident that his data in regard to her had become a trifie confused He said
 And now we commend to thy care this widowed handmaid, who has been bereaved again and again and again. Then hesitating an instant, he added: And perhaps again"

THE FLEET OUTRlDES A STORM
Wind Reaches Velocity of 100 Miles an Hour-Damage Done on Shore,
 but Ships Not Hurt.

Manila, Monday-The Atlantic fleet has safely outridden q hurricane which swept Manila Bay for twelve hours and did much damage ashore.
 Typhon signals were displayed early Sunday morning, but the storm broke over the bay suddenly and unexpect- edly at neon. It was impossible to hoist the cutters and launches belong ing to the fleet because of the danger of smashing them against the steel sides of the breakwater into the Pasig river, where they remained all night.
 The storm quickly increased in ten sity and the torrential rains shut in the ships
 At o'clock Sunday night the storm had reached it's height and it then gradually tapered down, until at mid night it was comparatively calm al- though heavy seas swung across the harbCr.
 During the storm all the battle ships had steam up ready for an emergency. Rear Admiral Sperry illlclily OlutlGu lIIc IdSSllIIJ OlluCCtl- cut and the Kansas, Minnesota, Yer mont, Virginia and Ohio under way. They were close to the breakwater, and Admiral Sperry feared they might drag anchors.
 The six vessels steamed down close to Cavite, where they anchored.
 At times the wind blew at the rate of 100 miles an hour. All communi- cation with shore was cut off It was impossible during the height of the storm 10 see the warships through the haze of rain and spray.
 On shore it was dangerous to go about. Several carriages were over turned, electric wires were pros trated and several buildings were un- rOofed.
 Among the buildings unroofed was the depot of the commissary. Several naval officers on shore on various errands were compelled to remain ashore all night.
