 Mrs. White was the widow of the late Sam E. White, and was a noble christian woman and mother, and a member of the NJ. E. church, South. She had been in bad health for some time and yesterday Wednesday, morning was taken to the Infrmary and an operation performed. She improved at first, but was seized with a hemorrhage and died at 10:30 l last night.

 To these young children, all of whom are unmarried, the loss falls with double weight. It was but last November that their father died, and that by his own hands. He ended his life in his room upstairs by sending a bullet through his heart, and at the same time party of young people were singing the last strains of "Home Sweet Home, !" that song being sung at Mr Whites request.
 To these orphaned children and to the bereaved relatives of Mrs. White, the GRAPHIC extends it's heartfelt sympathy and condolence.

THE NEW DOMINION
As Presented at the Opera House Last Night by Clay Clement
 and Company.

The opera house was crowded to it's fullest capacity Wednesday even ing to witness the Clement-McEwen engagement in "The New Dominion. It was an audience composed of the refined and elite society of the city. Mir. Clement and his New Domin- ion" have appeared here for several seasons. and the story of the play is therefore familiar to our readers. It was out of desire to compliment Miss Neil McEwen. MT. Clements leading lady and q former Pine Bluff girl, that so large and magnificent an audience was present. The play is purely q melo-drama, and thor oughly refreshing for It's lofty and ennobling sentiments. It deals with Southern life at a time immediately following the war. The scene is laid in Virginia, and the plot of the play revolyes around an old Southern home with a German Baron, (HO- henstauffenl as 8 visitor. As the German is preparing to leave. the old Southerner's daughter, "Flora May Randolph" accompanied by her cousin, Josephine Dulaney, " return home from the seminary. The Ger man falls in love with Miss Randolph and with this love story the play deals.
 Mir. Clement appeared as 'Hohen- stauffen" ard Miss McEwen as "Flora May Randolph. The Ger man is a nobleman in nature as well as in name, but encounters great difficulty with the English language. This affords no end of amusement for the audience. It is needless to say that Mir. Clement, in this charac- ter, is par excellent, and that he thoroughly delights his audiences.
 Mir. Clement has also made an ex- eeedingly happy selection in Miss Nell MeEwen for the portrayal of the part of Miss Flora May Ran dolph.' She is truly a Southern girl, and it requires no artilieial ac. quirements for her to portray the character. She is beautiful, grace ful, noble and charming, and in DOT traying the part of Flora May" is simply and naturally herself Miss McEwen's many friends in this city were proud of her and thoroughly delighted with her last evening. When she first entered upon the stage sine was greeted with q storm of applause, and at the end of the first act she and Mir. Clemment were called before the curtain. It was a ling ordeal for the young lady, perhaps the severest since her entrance upon the professional stage, hut nevertheless she con fronted hey friends and former asso- ciates with courage, and acquitted herself charmingly, to the thorough qualification of her friends and admirers.
 Miss MeEwen gives brilliant promise of achieving fame in her chosen pro- fession. for which she has the sincere good wishes of the GRApHIC and her many Pine Bluff friends.
 Mir. Clement is supported by an ex- cellent company throughout, among whom also deserving of special men tion Is Miss Karra Kenwyn (Mrs. Clement as Josephine Dunlane.y y" Miss Kenwyn is clever and vinaeious and her sallies of satire and wit are very refreshing and enjoyable.
 Altogether there was never more delighted and pleased audience than that assembled at the opera house Wednesday evening, and the oeeas- ion will prove q memorable one to Pine Bluff theater-goers.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 16.-The Populist
entire state ticket by reclamation, includ-
ing Lieutenant Governor A. NJ. Harvey, who
Is major in the Twenty-second Kansas
Volunteers. The Democrats who had been
insistent in their demands for two places on
the ticket, gave up everything for some
reason unexplained, and it took but short
time to railroad the nominations through in
bunch. The ticket nominated is as fol-
lows: For Governor. John w. Leedy; Lieu
tenant Governor, A. M. Harvey; secretary
or state. w. E. Bush; attorney general Il.
c. Boyle; treasurer, David Hefelbower
auditor, w: II. Morris; state superintendent
Wlll1am Stryker; associate Justice S H
alien; eongressman-at-larg J. d. Botlin.
The sharpest fight of the convention was
oyer oyer the adoption Of the. platform. After
that it was all smooth sailing. The plank in
the platform which caused such hard fight
was this: We demand the immediate sils-
pension OF the metropolitan police law and
also It's repeal by the next Legislature" The
PLATFORM as whole is Soclalistic 1t de-
mands the adoption of the initiative and
referendum system and a provision for pro-
portional representation; the establishment
or state stock yards under such regulations
as Will prevent the fixing of prices by specu-
iators and commission men, and securing to
the people the benefits of an open market !;
ownership of all public utilities and the
PUBLIC ownership and operation of all mo-
nopoleS, and a constitutional convention to
correct existing defects. On national issues
the platform demands the free coinage of
gold and silver at q ratio of 16 to l. and the
bearing bonds for the expense of carrying
on the war.
