preacher.
This preacher, in the course of a
long prayer one Sunday night, recount.
ed the many misfortunes and evils that
had befallen him in the course of his
long life. Then, signing heavily, he
prayed:

with bereavement, and with sorrow Of
many kinds. If thou are obliged to try
me again, Lord, try me with the bur
den of wealth."

COMMUTERS TO PAY MORE
Particulars of Increase Not De-
cided in Jersey.

It was finally said officially yesterday
that rates for commuters on all the rail-
roads which have q committing service
were to be increased ere long. But the ex
tent Of the advance and the time when It
would go into effect could not be learned,
It was said that the new schedules had not
been completed
II was said in well informed quarters,
however. that the Erie, which will prob
ably be- the first road TO advance it's rates,
had practically decided on an increase
ranging from S. cents to q % in the price
of it's monthly communication tickets.
At the offices of the Trunk Line Associa-
ton, at No. las Liberty street, it was said
that several meetings to discuss increases
in Communication rates had been held within
the last week by representatives of the
roads interested, but no one there had
any authority to say anything Of the mat
ter
Among the reasons TO be advanced by the
Erie and several of the other roads for the
proposed increase in their communication
rates, it is said, is that the committing SER
vice has been operated at loss.
The Long Island Railroad does not intend
70 increase its rates, at least until trains
ere run into the new Pennsylvania station.
Then they will be raised, 50 month more
being charged than Is now the rate from
Long Island City 10 Long Island points,
