Utf Rates to Clercymen on the Pennsyi-
Napfa Railroad.

In Offering half rates to clergymen the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has insti-
tuted the most comprehensive and liberal
arrangement ever adopted under like circum-
stances. Not only is tho reduction available
by ministers of the gospel who reside upon
the lines OF the Pennsylvania railroad. but 1t
applies equally to those OF any section of the
nitei States. and the rate is accepted on
the entire Pennsylvania railroad system
both east and west of FittsburG. A clergy
men having u charge in any portion of the
West or South. is entitled TO travel Mt half
fare over the Pennsylvania on presentation
of his clerical order TO any ticket agent Of
the company and likewise any clergyman
Of the East may use the lines OF the company
over their entire extent under the same condi-
tons.
Ministers of the gospel were never before
accorded such concessions. and II is easy to
predict that they will show their appreca-
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad s liberality
by patronizing it when they or their families
have occasion 10 travel.
