They Had no Friends.

GALLAT1N, Tenn, Feb. ia deplorable
tragedy is reported from Portland, small
town in the northern portion of the county.
Elves Pardue, we'll known young farmer,
ann his wife we're found this morning
lying dead on the floor of their bedchamGer.
their throats cut from ear to ear. Circum-
stances are such as to create belief that
the deaths of both were the result of sui
eide. Near Mrs. Pardue was a bloody
razor with which the ghastly deed was
committed. The fact that the razor lay
nearest her led to the conjecture that she
WAS the last to use the instrument of
death. In fact, this theory is supported by
note, said to have been found in the
room, written by Mrs. Pardue's hand and
signed by her, in which it is stated that she
and her husband had no friends. and as he
had concluded to commit suicide. she
would take her own life rather than liye
without him. The couple were married
only a year ago.

That Helena people are wide awake. and
earnest in their efforts for self improve
ment, is shown by the successful career Of
the young Organization, the Helena Book
club. The idea has long been favorite
one in eastern cities and TOWNS, but for
some reason, has not before been started
here. A number of ladies and gentlemen
combine their funds; what each one would
pay for a good magazine. say $4 apiece.
This sum invested at the large discount of
tered by some of the publishing houses,
buys not only years subscription to most OF
the best magazines, but pays for a large num-
ber of books depending on the size of the
club. The magazines and books being cir
culated at stated intervals. Inc Helena club
has Il membership limited to twenty six,
suhscribes to the fourteen leading month
lies and has seventy or eighty books. Mag
aZines are kept four days and books seven
days by each member Penalties by fine
secures promptness and the amount of
reading matter passing through each mem-
ber's hands is enormous, compared to his
Investment. The present officers of the
club in question are Il. c. Russell, pres-
dent; Mrs. +. W. Wickes, secretary. and
Mrs L. N. Thatcher, treasurer. Of course
she number of such clubs, that could be
organized in the city, could be very large,
and it is expected that the example set by
the Helena Book club, will find many fol-
lowers.

The Silver Men in the House Confident of
Early Consideration.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The silver men Sc
cured about 120 names to their petition
asking that the silver bill be made a special
order in the house. There a.e large
number of members absent from the house,
and for this reason there are mapy men,-
bers to whom the petition has not yet been
presented. About fifteen of those to whom
the petition was handed declined to sign on
one ground or other. Some thought it
giving undue prominence to the silver issue
and making it paramount to tho tariff
question; others thought it might embar-
rass the speaker. The silver men are con-
tident of their ability to secure considera-
tion for the bill. They are determined to
put every man in the house on record on
the question. There is sentiment among
many members of the house, including
some unquestioned free coinage men, in
favor of an early report of tariff bills from
the ways and means committee. and keep
ing them before the country to prevent
giving undue prominence to the silver
question.
