feet in length, was one Of the achieve
ments Of the India Hook Power COM
pany last week. 1t is pine, Of course,
and is about five feet in diameter at the

Fishing For Dry Goods.
An ingenious theft was practiced at
the New York racket store on Saturday
or Sunday night, says the Rock Hill
correspondent of the Charlotte Observ-
er. Someone, from a small opening In
the skylight, lowered a fishing hook to
a counter in the middle Of the store and
drew the goods from it. 1t is tmpossl-
BILE to estimate the loss; but the count
er covering was taken and the nook
and line was found near the counter
this morning. 1t is thought that the
hook caught on the counter and that
the thief could not detach it.
"Reminiscences of York.
From the letters THE ENQUIRER has
received, and from comments that have
been made to members of the staff, there
appears to be a more intelligent and
widespread appreciation of the value OF
DR.. Maurice Moore's "Reminiscences Of
York. than ever before. AS has been
remarked previously these papers are
unique in that they constitute the only
work yet produced bearing to any con-
siderable extent on the history Of this
section. When our people become suf-
ficiently appreciative to warrant such
an undertaking these "reminiscences
will become the basis of an elaborate
history of York county, and it is to be
hoped that they are now falling into
the hands Of the future writer Of this
history.
