He Makes u Speech of which the Tariff
was the Theme.

companied by Gen. M. d. Manson,
democratic nominee for lieutenant
governor. Judge Clampitt of Illinois,
Judge w. B. Hoke, Gen. Baker, Col.

Gov. Hendricks was met at Evans
vile by a committee who accompanied
him to New Albany. He was given
a grand reception by several thousand
people assembled at the depot despite
the rain. The city was gaily decora-
ted, and much enthusiasm prevailed.
Governor Hendricks held re-
ception in the afternoon. At
night people from the surrounding
counties and towns poured into the
city and fully 10000 people witnessed
and took part In a grand torch light
procession, participated in by local
and visiting Cleveland and Hendricks
clubs,
After the procession, Gov. Hen
dricks made a speech in the opera
house. In his speech he discussed the
tariff, arguing that duties snoulu
be levied only for the pur-
pose of defraying the expenses
of the government. He said
, Cleveland received support from
the best elements of the republican
party, including ministers, scientists
college professors, students, editors
and laborers. He emphasized the
/ fact that the democrats looked for
strong support from the independent
republicans. In closing, he eulogized
the democratic party, saying it es.
poused the cause of the weak against
the strong, the poor against the rich
the oppressed against the oppressors
The speech was frequently interrupt
ed with applause.
Gov. Hendricks was followed by
Gen. Manning and others, who deliv
cred brief, encouraging addresses.

THE WIFE MURDERER.

Capture of Jasper Rhodes, the Galveston
WOman-Slayer = Incidents of
the Arrest.
Special Telegram to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, October 25.-Bud, alias
Jasper Rhodes, the wife murderer,
was captured this evening in the east
end and is now safely LOGGED in the
county jail. The arrest was brought
about by telephone message by a
lady to police headquarters, reporting
the presence of a suspicious looking
mulatto who, when not seen skulking
around in the vicinity, was hiding be
meath an upturned boat in yard on
PoStoffice street, between 9th and 10th
streets. Repairing to the place, the
suspicious person had left the boat
and sought refuge in house where he
was traced and arrested without re-
sistance. Rhodes states that he had
not eaten anything for three days, and
as the following letter would indicate,
seriously contemplated suicide:
GALVESTON, Oct. 20.-I heard be-
fore committing suicide on myself,
that Sam. Wilson called my wife out
for me to kill her, but he is innocent
of the act. Jealousy was the cause.
Signed. -. RHODES"
On his person 38 caliber revolver,
with one chamber empty, was found.
Rhodes makes no denial OF the muir
der. He says that he was prompted
by Jealousy, charging a barber named
Malta Brown, with supplanting him
in his wife's affections.
After Rhodes was put in the cage at
the station, Chief Jordan sent out and
had lunch brought in to him, which he
devoured with a ravenous eager
ness that served to bear out
his statement that he had eaten
nothing for three days. When he had
appeased his hunger he was hand
cuffed and under a strong guard of
four officers, with pistols ready for
use, he was transferred to the county
jail. The crowd that had been hang
ing around the building followed to
the Jail, but whether awed by the pis-
tolls in the hands of the guards, or
whether they were satisfied to let the
law take its course, they made no dem
onstration whatever.
After the Jail doors had been closed
on the prisoner the crowd hung
around for some time, seemingly en-
deavoring to get peep through the
grated windows at the man who had
commisted so desparatea deed. Rhodes
is rather good looking negro
smooth faced-copper colored and has
nothing of the appearance Of des-
parade.

Liver Oomnlaint.

Yes; you may well say complaint"
for If there is anything makes a poor
mortal complain is to have his liver
out of order. The liver is the great
scavenger of the body. 1t gathers up
refuse, works it into bile, and works
the bile off. 1t has heavy contract;
and sometimes fails. Then there Is a
general disturbance. That disturb
ance is quieted by taking Browns
Iron Bitters. Mr.. w. A. Brown, of
Marshalltown, Iowa, says, Browns
Iron Bitters relieved me of liver COM

1t is really a pity that our people
should feel disposed to judge Of the merits
OF theatrical entertainment before having
seen 1t, or that SO many will listen to the
croakings of few smart Alexis who al
ways know in advance that coming op-
cratic or theatrical entertainment is fraud,
or snide, or that il is not the "origiual
company" This credulity is frequently
the means Of their being deprived of the
pleasure OF witnessing many really first
class meritorious entertainments. AS an
illustration, the Calender Ministries will
suffice. They opened to fair house
Thursday night, but had the re al merits of
the performance been generally known,
the hall would have hardly held the people.
The entertainment was, perhaps, the best
ever produce here in that line OF business
The singing and dancing, the drilling, and
especially the lIyer Sisters, in operatic Sc
lectiona, were about beyond criticism, and
were highly appreciated by tile audience.
The croakers were downed, sure, this time,
as they have often been before, but what is
most to be regretted, they were the means
of keeping away many who really delight
in good music. The croakers, of course,
have perfect right to their opinions, but
it seems absurd that four or five kickers of
this character should have such an influ-
ence upon really intelligent people who
enjoy an occasional evening at the opera
house.
