MIR. SHAW AT PEORIA
DELIVERS ADDRESS ON .THE
 REPUBLICAN, PARTY.n
: He is of the Opinion That the Re. !. moval of the Tariff from Trust IA Controlled Products is Not # the Proper Remedy.

Peoria. Ill. March s1.-The seventh an- uudl banquet of the Kickapoo Cub was held in the Coliseum here tonight. Cow CTS were laid for 5so guests. The deco ratons were very elaborate, and the list of speakers included Hon. Leshe M. Shaw. Secretary of the Treasury, and Hon. Charles Emory Smith, of phiIa- delphia- tCommissaoner General of Immi- graticn Frank P. Sargent was also pres ent.
 A large oil painting of President Roose- Welt, illuminated by incandescent lights caused spontaneous outburst of ap- plause which lasted for some minutes Both Secretary Shaw and Mir. Smith were given ovations.
 In his address. 'sThe Republican Par ty," Mir. Shaw said:
 Democratic demand for a revision of the tariff as a remedy for monopoltes is not new invention or recent discovery. Bills. amendments to bills and resolutions embodying this thought have been of- Tered almost without number, by Dem ocrats standing high and Democrats standing low in the councils of the party
 The remedy. however, is on a par with many others. The all important ques- ton whether a given industry is con- froiied by monopoly must needs be eo- tablished before the proposed remedy can be applied. The present prohibitory law against trusts has generally been found adequate whenever the evidence attain able has been found sufficient to establish the ultimat efact. Recent legislation does not provide new remedies so much as new methods of discovering and es- Rabiishing facts and expediting judicial Investigations. The sherman law con- faips quite drastic provisions applicable Co both persons and corporations when .1~, fo haU Nike to have our Democratic friends ex- plain whether they would remove pro- Section temporarily or permanently from monopoly produced goods. Shall the pro- kection be removed while the alleged mo- nopoly goes into bankruptcy and then be restored or shall 1t be removed per smanently, and our industries one by one kurned over to foreign competitors? And If the removal of protection is to be tenn

Felix Lewis, a Negro, Dehes Pop
 ulace of Greenvi1le.
 Greenville. March a-(special -This afternoon Street Overseer George Bryan saw negro, Felix Lewis. on the street and told him ne must either pay his street tax or work on the street. The negro was very insulting to the officer. who attempted to arrest him. The officer called help and the man defied all who came near him. He was near the site many brick bats, and he was not slow in using them. He struck James Kendrick with one and came very near striking Judge Gaston on the head with another. The negro not only used bricks, but he got out his knife and threatened to cut any man who came within reach. Char. lie Doub. a white man, went up to the negro to take hold of nirn, when the me- Doud on the arm. Doud then pulled his pistol and fired at the man several times. Two balls took effect, both mak- ing flesh wounds. Felix then gave up and was carried to jail.
 Felix has for some years been suffer- ing at times from some mental trouble, and some think that he would not have been so stubborn had he been fully at himself.
 A reception was rendered Mrs. R. A. Lee yesterday by the members of the Church and Parsonage Society, in which she has been faithful worker. The double parlors of the parsonage were used and were well filled with friends to whom the occasion was both sad and pleasant. An impromptu program of reading and music was rendered by some of the members, after which very ele- gant refreshments were served. By a unanimous vote Mrs. Lee was made an honorary member of the society. Mir. Lee and family will leave tomorrow for Coffee Springs, their new home.
 Judge Carthel and Mrs. Burnett. the primary teacher of the First Methodist Sunday school, at Anniston, came down this morning and will for two days be with the combined Sunday schools of the city and lecture to hem and do some illustrative teaching. The exercises be- gan this afternoon at o'clock in the Baptist Church. Judge Carthel is the Secretary of the State Sunday School Association, and is one of the best work CTS in the great cause in the State, and Mrs. Burnett is equally good as a pri- mary teacher.
 The contractors for the new court house have about removed all the debris from the ground and will in a day or two cut the ditches for the foundation. Judge Gaston has written to the Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge asking that the cornerstone of the new temple be laid with Masonic honors. He has not as yet heard from that officer.

porary, who Is to say when it shall be restored! If in point of fact the iron. the steer, the glass. the naper or any other industry has been monopolized. as ia claimed, and if the producers are now robbing the American people by extor tionate prices. and If 10 one dares build factories in competition with these oc- eopf. will American courage be excited py the removal of the tariff so as to invite these products from abroad? It seems to me, but I may be wrong that American enterprise would be quite as likely to build factory and compete fin the American market under protection as under free trade. In point of fact I happen to know of independent steel plants. glass factories and paper mills. not simply projected. but actually in process of construction, but believe no one of them would be completed if 1t were known these products were to be placed on the free list.
 Domestic competition Is sure to arise In time. but we become impatient Af- ter the enactment of the Dingley bill our Democratic friends tried to make sport of us because the effects were not mo- uceable instanter. It took some time to adjust conditions to the new law and 1t will also take time to counteract at- tempts that are sometimes made to thwart the natural operations of the law. The fact remains there is no industry, no class of men, no interest that is not more prosperous. more thriving. more hopeful and more sure of success than ever before in the history of our coun- try.
 Combined capital is not an unmixed evil. but like every other possible good. is capable of evil. Individual wealth has seldom built a railroad. or erected factory. or opened a mine. or constructed a steamship. We have reached a point in our civilization where the things We undertake require associated capital. It is, therefore, the province of the states men to so legislate as to encourage asso- ciated capital ,and at the same time guard against the evils that frequently ensue'

 Without moments hesitation the of- sprang upon him from behind the door, attacking him furiously with a long, dou- ble-edged Mexican dagger. which he drove repeatedly into the officers body. One of the wounds penetrated the ab- dominal cavity, with the result that the intestines protruded.
 Webster ran into the yard and the Marshal fired at him with his pistol, but without apparent effect. Webster started down the street, but the officer managed to walk to the gate and fire at him again. In all he shot six times. Each of the shots took effect, and Webster fell to the ground a short distance from the house, dying almost instantly. A coroner's jury held an inquest and de- clared the killing of Webster justifiable.
 At 9:30 o'clock Marshal Bishop was still alive, but the attending physicians were doubtful whether he could live through out the night. He has been Marshal of Girard a number of years and was widely known as a brave and fearless officer On one occasion when he went out to arrest a desperate character he stood while the criminal ennptied his pistol at him. without effect, at short range, and then calmly stepped up and placed the man under arrest. He is exceedingly pop ular in Girard, and the little Alabama town Is in intense excitement tonight over the tragedy.

BERLIN's MATRIMONIAL BOOM.
City Officials overburdened, Particu-
 larY on Saturday.

The following intimation to couples de- sirous of entering into the blissful state of matrimony has just been published In Berlin. It is interesting. says The New York Commercial Advertiser, inasmuch as 1t throws light upon the influence ex- erted by certain seasons of the year and days of the week on the number of mar riages: Attention is hereby called to the circumstance that the number of mar riages contracted between the end of March and the middle of April is so great that the civil officials find 1t increasingly difficult to meet the wishes of betrothed persons as to the wedding day The lat ter are extremely prone to select Satur- days. So much so, indeed, that it is not always possible for the officials to transact all the business which is fixed for that day. It is necessary, at least in Berlin. for the officials in question to consult the interested parties with a view to distributing the marriages more evenly over the week days in order to avoid con gestion of business.
