The York county pension list is pub

The York county pension list is pub
lished elsewhere in today's issue of
The Enquirer. The list is official; but
as many people will discover, it is not
absolutely correct. Many of the names
are incorrectly spelled and in some
cases it would be impossible to identi-
fy them without personal acquaintance
with the individuals for whom they are
intended to stand. Because we are un-
able to correct the list in a manner
that would warrant us certifying to its
accuracy, we prefer to reproduce the
official copy.

be no Intervention in Mexico, the prob

and stronger every day. The proper
time to have interviewed was last
spring when the Mexicans were killing
Americans across the border; but the
political necessity or intervention did
not seem so apparent at that time.

this view.

The Board of Charities again came ir
for severe criticism when Col. Myror

said Colonel Parker, that the hospita

SEVEN CENT DROP
IN PRICE OF EGGS
PREVAILING TO-DAY
Failing Demand and Increas-
ed Supply Are Attribut-
ed Reasons.

A drop of cents per dozen in the
wholesale price of eggs is prevailing in
Washington today. Yesterday the
wholesale price Of eggs was ~ cents per
dozen, and today the price is 80 cents
per dozen. Eggs are retailing as low
az 3S cents per dozen, and still sharper
reductions are expected.
Two principal reasons are assigned
by dealers for this almost unprecedented
slakh in the price of the product. In
the first place, On account of high
prices the demand for eggs from all
sources has fallen off more than a third,
end as a consequence eggs have piled
up on the big wholesalers' hands. 1t
also is shown that the coming OF more
moderate weather has started the hens
to laying.
Not only are the wholesale and re-
tail prices of eggs much lower than
yesterday" said George Langley, a
prominent dealer, but the same condi-
tions which have operated to bring the
price down to the present figure Will
cause 1t to go much lower. Barring the
appearance of sudden cold snap, the
wholesale price OF eggs will drop TO 30
cents per dozen, or even lower, within
Ine next udy VI l"Ob iitllb dSNoiu-
ing to all indications. smaller reductions
will continue until the normal price of
eggs in this city is reached"
Dealers point TO the fact that practi-
cally all the storage eggs we're disposed
of during the high-price season, and that
the eggs received from now on will be
in the strictly fresh category. Word
there are no railroads, and where steam
ers are relied upon TO carry the pro-
duce to the marketing centers, indicates
that the stock of freshly laid eggs there
Is increasing rapidly, and that heavy
consignments soon will begin to reach
Washington from those points.

A Mania For Murder That Is Peculiar
to Oriental Countries.

The expression run amuck" is the
Anglicized form of a term used in some
parts of the orient to describe a form
of homicidal mania. accompanied by a
frenzied plunge in any and every direc-
ton. In the countries where the NAL
adv originated the word applied to il
was "amok.' The corrupted form of
it is now applied in a score of ways
without much warrant
In Malacca, Siam. Java and adjacent
regions the mental state which causes
amok is well defined and much dread
ed. 1t is attributed almost tnvaria bly,
to excessive drinking of stimulants.
The victim first turns morose. gener-
ally remaining in this state for several
days. Then he is suddenly seized with
the mania for slaughter and starts on
his mad run with the first weapon he
can reach.
Extra precautions against these mad
ravages are taken in some of the more
civilized places, especially Batavia.
There the police are armed with what
Is called catch fork. The instant the
victim Of amok starts on his mad dash
be finds himself hooked by q minion
of the law and held firmly the length
Of this odd human spear. He can harm
himself. but that Is the limit of his in
sane power.-Exchange.

TO THE OCEAN.

To the ocean now fly
And those happy climes that lie
Where day never shuts his eye,
Up the broad fields Of the sky;
There suck the liquid air
All amidst the gardens fair
Along the crisped shades and bow
ers
Revels the spruce and jocund
spring
There eternal summer dwells
And west winds with musky wing
About the cedarn alleys fling
Nard the cassia's balmy smells.
Iris there with humid bow,
Waters the odorous banks that
blow
Flowers of more mingled hue
Than her purified scarf can show,
And drenches with Elysian dew
Beds of hyacinths and roses.

Book. In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages books were ex-
changed for a horse or half a dozen
sheep. When anybody needed stock or
other property he often pawned the
books that he owned. and in the town
of Oxford were at one time twenty
chests filed with valuable books. Lat
er the book fairs helped TO relieve the
situation. No doubt there is golden
mean somewhere between the scarcity
OF the middle ages and the oyerproduc-
ton of today.-Argonaut-
