DEATHS AND FUNERALS
Mrs. Lucinda Hale Ferguson.

The death of this venerable lady oc- cured at the residence of her son. Gen eral Fred s. Ferguson. in this city, yes terday afternoon at 8 o'clock. She was one of the oldest native Alabamians and her parents were among the first settlers of the territory. On the zd of December. 181s. she was born in Huntsville, just twelve days before Alabama was admit ted into the Union, and in this State she parsed her long and eventfui life. Her father was Captain William Hale. a dis tinsuished soldier in Jacksons army at the battles of Talladega- Horse Shoe Bend and New Orleans, and enjoyed the friendship and confidence of that great general. Captain Hale came from Vir- ginia to the Alabama territory in 1S10 and located In Huntsville. then called Twick- enham. In 1S19 he married Catherine Stone, who bore i--m three children, Mrs. Ferguson being the second. Captain Hale died in 1862 and his wife in 1878. having spent their married life in Huntsville.
 In 1885 Mrs. Ferguson was married to the Rev. Frederick Guthrie Ferguson. a prominent minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, South who died in 1863. Of this union eleven children were born. all of whom, except two, lived to maturity. but only three now survive.
 Mrs. Ferguson, like most of the south ern mothers in 1861, gave her three oldest sons to the Confederate army and during the great war she was untiring in her ministrations to the sick and wounded, the poor and the needy. After @ battle which was fought within a few miles of her home she devoted her time to nurs- Ing the wounded, blue and gray alike un- til they were restored to health or releas- cd from all suffering.
 Her only living sons are General Fer guson and Solicitor Charles Ferguson. Mrs. Rebecca F. Redd, her only daugh- ter, resides in Columbus. Ga For many years the family lived at Tuskegee and there Mrs. Ferguson will be buried. One who was near and dear to the de- ceased pays the following tribute:
 "As Christian. wife. mother. woman, she illustrated all the virtues and in her presence vice stood abashed.
 For several years past she was blind but bore this great atniction with the fortitude and patience she had always exhibited amid the sorrows and trials of life. Let us believe that in the great mystery of death her eyes have opened upon the giories of the celestial city and that its joys will for her grow brighter and brighter until the perfect day"

M0ORELAND TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY At ST. LOUIS
Collector for Rosslyn Packing Company
Left City Monday and Was Arrested
Yesterday.

An example of the efficiency of the
police forces Of the large cities was hat
by Captain Boardmen last evening, wher
he received a telegram from Chief Ma
thew Kiely. of the st. Louis department
stating that-William H. Mooreland
wanted here for embezlement, had been
captured in that city.
Mooreland disappeared from Rossyln
iector for the Rosslyn Packing Com
pany. Although this is Virginia con-
cern, those interested in it are residents
of Washington. and the local police were
asked to take up the case. The COM
panys representatives alleged that
Mooreland had skipped with at least
$500, and warrant, charging him with
the embezzlement of that amount, was
sworn out.
The chiefs of police in ST. Louis, New
York, Jersey City, Newark, Cincinnati.
Philadelphia and Baltimore were tele-
graphed to to look out for Mooreland. He
was taken as he stepped from a train
in st. Louis yesterday morning. Detec-
tive Frank Helan. from Police Headquar-
ters, left for ST. Louis last evening to
bring Mooreland back to Washington.
Chief kiely's telegram stated the young
man would come without requisition
papers.

DEMOCRATS FAVOR
TARIFF REVISION
Empire State Platform Also Denounces
Trusts and Demands Federal
Ownership of Coal Mines.

Following is the platform adopted at
the Democratic State convention today
The Democrats of New York, in con-
vention assembled, renewing their allie
glance to the me-honored political
principles of Thomas jefferson. believe
that the application of those principles
Of Federal and State governments is
particularly essential at the present
time to the welfare of our country.
For six years at Washington and for
eight years at Albany the Republican
party has had absolute control of exec
utive, legislative and judicial depart
ments of government. There has been
no divided political responsibility for
existing evils permitted by wrong poll
cies and for grave dangers threatened
by radical departures from true concep-
tions OF American purpose.
New Measures Required.
Conditions frequently require new
measures and impose new responsible
ties, but true regard for the country's
interests demands that the application
of those measures and the discharge of
those responsibilities shall be guided by
steadfast fidelity to fundamental Ameri-
can principles.
Measured by that standard the Re-
publican party has been unfaithful to its
trust. has made expediency its god and

by prompt return to the sound princi-
pies promulgated by Jefferson. observed
by our country through two-thirds of
It's history. believed in by the great
masses of the American people and ad
vocated by the Democratic party.
That the people demand such a re-
turn to the ideal of Justice, equality. and
liberty upon which our Government Is
founded is clearly evidenced by prevail
ing popular alarm over existing tenden-
cies, and by the unmistakable signs of
generalization in the party responsible
for them.
Want Commercial Freedom.
we believe, with Jefferson, in COM
mercial freedom. Tariff taxation, like
all other taxation. should be limited to
the necessities of the government eco
nomically administered. 1t should be
imposed for public objects only and
never for private purposes. 1t is not
the province of the Government to abuse
the power of taxation by enriching the
few at the expense of the many. Pro-
lection to the consumers from unjust
tariff exactions is the protection
which the people demand; and the
manufacturers of the country require
relief from imposts upon their raw
materials that by increasing the cost of
their product thwart their efforts to
enter foreign markets.
When tariffs are not needed for rev.
enue they should be eliminated, and
thereby extend and promote our market
abroad. The policy of reciprocal trade
is the traditional Democratic policy
and is in harmony with the spirit of
the times. The period of exclusiveness
is past. The expansion of our trade and
commerce is the pressing problem
THE immediate revision OF the tariff is
the supreme duty of the hour
Republican tariff laws should be
amended by putting those products of
trusts which are essential to the life,
comfort, and necessities Of the people
upon the free list. and thereby prevent
the further continuance of monopoly
under the plea of protection.
I'VE reiterate that provision of the
Democratic platform which de-
clares that we condemn the Dingley
tariff law as trust breeding measure.
skillfully devised to give to the few
fayOrS which they do not deserve and
to place upon the many burdens which
they should not bear.
There is no middle ground on this
question; those who are not against the
trusts are in favor of them.

Mr. Straus started to leave the plat

into Alderman Timothy P. Sullivan and

Mr.. Straus was quite roughly handled
by two men who claimed to be news
