M'CREA THE STAR
WITNESS IN TRIAL
Equity Case to Overcome the
TWo-cent Rate Law at
Philadelphia.
SAYS LAW is UNFAIR ONE.
SUIT IN A STIMULATION OF
TRAVEL TO ANY EXTENT, Nc
CREA SAYS.

Philadelphia, July 1.-THE hearing
in the equity proceedings brought by
the Pennsylvania Railroad against the
city and county of Philadelphia TO re-
strain the latter from enforcing the
two-cent railroad law, passed by the
last legislature, was resumed Friday in
the common pleas court. The COM
pany presented its side of the case.
President McCrea was a witness today.
The first question asked him was:
do you think the two-cent fare rate
is fair to both the railroads and the
public?"
II do not think it is was the reply.
I'm the first place." he said "a uniform
charge of two cents mile for all class
es Of passengers is unfair and fmprac-
ticable. WITH two cents as maximum
you cannot make a sufficient differ
ence between the short and frequent
rider and those who travel longer dis
tances, which will bring fair profit
to the company
Can a uniform rate be properly
charged by railroad?"
mo. sir. 1t is not proper to charge
a uniform rate. Passenger rates are
largely dependent upon the density VI
population and the frequency with
which the public rides. In densely
populated territory we can charge
lower rate than in districts thinly pop
ulated.''
"You have a considerable number OF
passengers who travel a. the rate of
more than two cents a mile and a great
number who pay under two cents. Why
not charge all classes a uniform rate
of two cents?" asked Mr.. Johnson.
1T would be unfair to the railroad
and to the public. The general practice
OF all railroads is to carry short riders
at lower rate"
Would you carry more passengers
If the present law is put into effects"
mo sir My observation is that the
stimulation of traffic is dependent
largely upon the character of the SER
vice and the natural increase of popu
1ation and business. The two cent
fare does not affect the short riders,
who now pay under that figure, and
longer distance riders. generally speak
ing, will not ride more frequently be-
cause the fare has been cheapened. but
will continue to ride only as their af-
fairs demand it,
Mr. McCrea answered questions re-
garding the tables of earnings.

GOLDSMITH'S POVERTY.
Wretched Misery of the AmiabIe but
imprudent Author.


imprudent Author.
In 175S, two years after Goldsmith
returned from his wanderings on the
continent, he presented himself at Sur
geons' hall for examination as a hos
pital mate, with the view Of entering
the army or navy; but he suffered the
modification of being rejected as I'M
qualified. That he might appear be-
fore the examining surgeon suitably
lressed Goldsmith obtained a new suit
Of clothes, for which Griffiths, the
publisher of the Monthly Review, be
came security. The clothes were to
be returned Immediately when the pur-
pose was served, or the debt was to be
discharged. Poor Goldsmith, having
failed in his object and probably dis
tressed by urgent want, pawned the
clothes. The publisher threatened, and
Goldsmith replied:
Il know of no misery but jail, to
which my own imprudence and your
letter seem to point. | have seen il
inevitable these three or four weeks
and, by heavens, request it as favor
"a favor that may prevent something
more fatal. I have been some years
struggling with a wretched being, with
all that contempt and Indulgence bring
with it. with all those strong passions
which make contempt insupportable.
What, then, has Jail that is fornida-
ble:"
Such was the hope1essness, the deep
despair of this imprudent but amiable
author who has added to the delight Of
millions and to the glory of English
literature.
