Mr.. ALFRED MOR|NG
Death of a Venerable Citizen
of Raleigh.
The Son Of Soldier Who Fought Under VAST :
ington at Yorktown Passes Away in
Nineiieth Year,

1t is with deep regret that we chronicle
the death of one of Raleigh's most ven
cradle and respected citizens, Alfred
Moring, ESQ.,. who died Sunday night at
tho residence of his son, Mr.. f. O.
Moring, on North Blount street.
Mr.. Moring was in the ninetieth year
of his age, having been born in Surry
county, Virginia, on the 25th day of Feb
Tuary, 1874 His father, John Moring. was
a resident of Surry county, Virginia, be-
fore coming to North Carolina. and was
a soldier in the War of the Revolution.
The date of his birth was 1864; and,
when quite young man, he enlisted in
Captain Wilson's company in the reg1-
ment of Colonel -lount, and served faith
FULLY until the end of the war, being
present at the battle Of Yorktown when
CORVALLIS was forced to capitulate. At
the age of sixty-eight. on November Il,
1882, when resident of Chatham county,
he was granted a pension by the United
States for his military services. He died
on tho 21st of September, 1874.
Mr.. Alfred Moring lived in Chatham
county for the greater part of his life:
and, while there, was engaged in farming
and other business. He was a man of
great purity of character and deeply in
terested in religious work. 1t was largely
due to his abstinence from evil habits
and associations that his health never
failed until fall weakened his condition
in old age
The children of Mr.. Moring were six
in number. His eldes son, the late Hon.
John Morinp was a ono time Sneaker Of
the House of Representatives, and saw
active service in the Confederate Army,
as did also Mr.. Frank o. Moring, of this
city. His two other sons were Alfred,
now deceased, and Mr.. E. c. Moring
who resides in Alamance county at
Mebane. The two daughters of Mr.. Nor
ing are Mrs. B. A. York and Mrs. j. -
Edwards
The funeral services of Mr. Moring
were conducted yesterday afternoon at 5
O'Clock at the residence of his son, Mr.
F. O. Morning Rev. NJ w. Butler, of the
Christian church Tin which Mr.. Moring
was for many years deacon), was the
officiating clergyman, and was assisted
by Rev. w. C. Tyree, of the First Bap-
fist church Early this morning the re-
mains will be conveyed to Moringville,
in Chatham county, and inferred in the
burial ground of the family
Mr.. Moring was an honored member
of the Sons of the Revolution, and be-
longed to the Board of Managers OF that
society. No other member of the organi-
zation ever filed credentials to prove the
services of a father who fought in the
War for Independence.

And the heavy burden lighter,

MUST OBSERVE THE Law.
Postmasters Lax Regarding Foreign
Dutiable Mail Matter.

The acting postmaster general Mr.. r. ].
Wynne, has issued the following order to
postmasters regarding their failure to exc
cute the laws relative to the customs SER
vice:
Whereas, 1t appears from information
received from the Treasury Department that
the customs revenues are suffering serious
loss by reason of the failure of some post
masters to comply with the provisions Of
sections 7O7, 70S and 951. postal laws and
regulations, edition Of 1902, affecting the
treatment of mail matter received from
abroad, and especially in the case of reg
istered matter from Mexico, marked to in
dictate that its contents are supposed to be
liable to customs duties
1T is therefore ordered that postmasters
shall read sections 7O7, 1OS and 951, and
comply strictly with the provisions thereof
hereafter, and that all mail matter, regis
tered and unregistered, received from any
foreign country shall be carefully examined
before delivery, to ascertain whether 1t 10
marked supposed liable to customs duties,
with words to indicate that the contents
are supposed to be liable TO customs duties
and when so marked 1t shall be treated in
accordance with the sections above named;
and whenever 1t is shown that the failure
of any postmaster to treat dutiable matter
properly has resulted in the loss Of Gus
toms revenue, he will be held liable under
his official bond for the amount OF the loss
so sustained"

MIR. BRYAN HERE.
His Visit is Simply for the Purpose Of
Seeing Old Friends,

W. ]. Bryan. editor" Is in Washington.
Mr. Bryan went to the Capitol yesterday
afternoon. but few of his former colleagues
in the House knew of his presence. He paid
a visit later to the Senate end of the build
ing. and was about to take the elevator
marked private" to go to Senator Jones'
committee room. The elevator man, how
ever, failed to recognize the Nebraskan.
Mr.. Bryan protested and the ''lift' man
persisted in his refusal to allow Mr.. Bryan
to ride. Senator Jones was finally sent for
and he escorted his visitor to his room
without further opposition.
Mr.. Bryan said his visit was simply for
the purpose of calling on his old friends, as
he was in the east on private business. He
did not discuss pending legislation, except
in the most general way, and it was evident
that his advice on matters of political ex-
pediency was not being sought to any great
extent by members Of his party. The
editor Of the Commoner looks somewhat
older than he did during his presidential
candidacy. but has the appe arance of hath
and activity. Mr.. Bryan expects to remain
in Washington over Sunday
