The presidents and executive officers Of
the Central Freight Association roads gath
cred In Chicago in force yesterday to dis
cuss ways and means for improving the
present demoralized freight rate situation.
Beyond appointing two committees TO deal
with grain rates the meeting accomplished
little. One committee was appointed to
consider the rates on all commodities ex-
cept grain, which was referred to another
committee OF lines leading out of Chicago,
Peoria and st. Louis The general meet
ing of the freight and traffic men was in
session all day. and 1t was agreed by all
the. lines that rates ought To be put on a
higher basis as soon possible. But just
as TO what the increase should be there
were many differences of opinion, and this
part OF the question will probably be left to
the presidents committee The whole mat
ter will be settled at to-day's meeting.

THE MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.
&c ONE OF eRiTTANY'S QUAINT
OLD CUSTOMS.
R.asons For Performing the csre-

stances.

Brittany's quaint customs have been
nainted by travellers and writer's FOR

its attendant Somber ceremonies, is
nerhaps new to the ordinary reader
One bride who chose this unatrractive
hour for her wedding did 50 because
her mother had died only the year be-
fore and local tradition made II pr )per

spect to this circumstance. As a large
number of guests would have given a
festive air To the scene. only the rela-
tlyeS and flew intimate friends were
hidden TO the dinner, which took place
between the civil ceremony and the
midnight service at the church The
brides gown was OF finely woven black
material, covered with the convention
al veil and wreath. The thrift OF the
Breton character came out during the
dinner. when the sisters and aunts OF
the bride congratulated her on the ex-
ccllence of the cloth in the gown and
studied out how many hats could be
trimmed with the veil. The wedding
wreath. however was considered too
sacred ever to be put TO further use
and was enshrined in a velvet-trmmed
