of Mrs. Mary A. Davidson, charged
with having extorted $500 from Rev.

the defense, were absent, one in Mexi-
co and the other near the Mexican
border Counsel said that he intended
to prove by these witnesses that con-
spiracy was former between DR.. Brown
Matte Overman and Mrs. Tunnel to
falsely accuse and convict Mrs. David

absent witnesses were being supplied
with money by DR.. Brown to absent

witnesses were beyond his jurisdiction
and would not probably come within

attorney is assited in the prosecution
by two criminal lawyers.
Rev. c. o. Brown for the first time
since the exposure of the Davidson

pulpit yesterday to a crowded house.

The Serenaders.

1t was near the hour of midnight, the holy hour of midnight as the poet would say, when from below there floats up to the ears of the GRA PHC's toiling slaves of editoria and composing rooms the sweetest strains of we'll known melodies aroung which cling for all thous- and memories of some golden day.
 "Old Love Letters, ' My Louis jana Lou" and others songs were rendered by gay gallants bent on making glad the hearts of many maidens with sountt of lute and voices.
 It was a novel sound. The click of the type and the scratch of the pencil are the rhapsudies to which the journalistic craft must labor.
 It was only practice work boys and the serenade was not intended for the news-manager up stairs, but we got it just the same. As it k truly more blessed to give than to receive. the young musicians should be trebly blessed

"l was forty-two years ago that l started in the newspaper business, 5 said Col. j N Smithee, the present editor of the Arkansas Gazette. to q GRAPHIC man as they sat in front of the Arlington last night ''I was the devil in the office Of the Pine Bluff Republican and my salary was ten dollars per month. The Colonel grew reminiscent and lived again the old days of his first efforts in the journalistic fight. When the past had grown into the present, the all important topic was broached
 What will the Chicago eonven- tion do?' timourously asked the in- terYiewer.
 'Yeu know as much about it as l do, was the reply. "lt will be a gathering big with possibilities, the outcome of which nc man can now foresee. :"
 "Po you think there is possibi'- ity of Teller's nomination either for first or second place?"
 "I can! say They may give him first or second place. or they may ignore him :"
 Don't you think that the coming convention will be one of the great est importanee?"
 "Unqnestiopably. It will he the most important one held by Demo- crats since the memorable one in Charleston.
 Do you think the gold men will receive any quarter at the hands of the majority"
 "I should say not. Mir. Whitney and his co-workers are going to Chi cago with the firm belief that they can buy success. believe that they are mistaken in their estimate.s s
 If there is a silver platform do you believe the gold men will bolt?"
 "l hardly think so, but it would make very little difference if they did. We would receive as many sll- yer Republicans as we would loose gold Democrats.
 What in your opinion would be the effect of straddle in the plat form?"
 "It would prove disastrous. We could do nothing on d straddle, it would be impossible to win on a gold plank, and we are going to have very hard task in winning on straight free silver platform"
 Col. Smithee left this morning at l:35 for Chic lgo, to take in the iea- lures of the big convention,

Who Did It..

Want of space precludes our ans wering Mr. Hal David's brutal de- fense of himself which appeared yesterday. It will be taken care of in due time Tn the meantime in another place will be found some re- marks touching the manner in which this Yankee sharper is trying to play our people, Saturday $ Commercial.
 For the benefit of the editor of the Commercial and all concerned, we take this occasion to state that Mr. Hal David had no brutal defense or any other kind of defense in the GRAPHIC. The article to which the Commercial alludes was headed sSour Grapes. and was written by the editor of the GRAPHIC. who ae- cepts full responsibility therefor and the consequences(i any there be) thereof If 1t was brutal" it was because the subject made it SO. But it was not intended to be "brutal;'' it wHs intended to be an expose of the hypocrisy and insincerity of the editor of the Commercial who brought Mr. David here to do the work for the Commercial which he is now doing for the GRAPHIC, and for which he is now being so round- ly abused.
 And furthermore, Mir. David is not a Yankee, but a native of South Car olina. And if he is trying to play our people" he is only doing that which the Commercial has already done, for it will be remembered that the Commercial itself is guilty of the crime eff it be a crime) of issuing a trade edi- tion and now it threatens to play our people" with another one.
 It is also a little strange that it should require three days time for the Commercial to answer the article aforesaid. It requires only few minutes to tell the truth. but several days to perpetrate q plausible false hood.
 This article is also written by the editor of the GRAPHIC and we trust the Commercial will be able to ans wer it by the time we shall have re- turned home from Chicago.

The venemous Commercial, in one of it's green-eyed hours of profes- sional jealousy. informs it's readers that "write-ups can be secured in that paper "for from l cent to 2B cents per line. according To space. It is a well known fact that adyer- Using rates are governed by circnla- ton. The GRAPHIc's special edition will be of at least 7.500 copies, which is in the neighhorhood of twenty five times greater than the number of copies issued by the Daily Com mercial For this special edition the GRAPHIC charges at the rate of h cents line According to the Com mercial's rate, based on circulation, the charge would be 25 and 62H cents q line It is therefore obvious that advertising rates in our special edi- ton, based on the actual number of copies to be issued, are a great deal less than the regular rates of the Daily Commercial. The value of ad- yertising is measured by circulation. HIS everyone knows.

 Bicycle.

Sometime ago the GRAPHIC made an offer of bicycles fnr subscribers.
 For az different number of ub. scribers to the Daily or Semi Weekly GRAPHIC we offered wheels of various grades and value, according 10 the number of subscribers secured. The announcement created considerable interest and emulation among the boys and girls of the town, and a number set to work at once to se- cure the required number of sub scribers for a wheel
 But of the number that started to work only one did not become dis conraged and remained faithful to the end Several went to work and secured a number of subscribers but turned in and quit before the reqais- ite number of subscribers had beed secured. One boy explained it as fol lows: Nearly everybody in town takes the GRAPHIC and don't know where to find anybody that don L. ? He turned in and quit, as did several others.

This is one of the best firms in the bicycle business, and all of their wheels are standard make, equal to any on the market. Forty dollars a month is pretty good wages for a little girl, aud Miss Esta is to be congratulated
 Her wheel has been ordered and will be here in few days. She deserves much credit for her energy and industry, and she will soon re- ceive her just reward. We trust Miss Etta's new wheel will afford her as much pleasure as it affords the GRAPHIC to present it to her.
