An Unusual Number OF Marriages in
CIeYeland,S Wedding Weak


Cleveiand's wedding Week.
If the whole country has beaten as re-
sponsive a throb as has st. Paul over the
presidential marriage. then it is certain that
the number of marriages does not depend
entirely, as political economists say, upon
the rate of wages. The president was mar
ried on Wednesday evening, and on Thurs
day Clerk Bell of the district court issued
nearly treble the average number of mar
rage licenses. In fact the boom was on
for the whole week. The average number
of marriage licenses issued i'll week by
Clerk Bell is about eighteen or twenty, and
there being only six days in the week
there is an average of something over
three per day. OF course some
days none are issued and then
again the number is much larger than the
average. Some weeks in the winter season
the number runs down to seven or eight,
but rarely less. In the spring the number
increases increases according to the known
indications OF matrimOny, poetry not in
Guided. Last week thirty-six licenses were
issued by MI. Bell, or an average of six per
day. On Wednesday, the day of the presi-
dents wedding, six licenses were issued,
and on Thursdsy, the first day when the
country was aware, dead sure, that the
White house had mistress. the number
doomed to nine. To be sure it fell off very
low on Friday, when only two were issued.
but the total for the week is strong indi-
cation that cyclone struck the country, or
at least the manageable portion of it. -
WHAT A CLERGYMAN SAYS.
A prominent clergyman, who probably
knows of as many marriages as any gentle
man of the cloth, was engaged in CONVEX
Sation on this question yesterday and said:
Yes, there is no doubt but that the presi-
dents marriage influenced good many
couple to follow suit, not but that they
would ultimately marry anyway, but that
there is a sort of romance in being married
on the same day or nearly the same day as
the president. To be sure there are more
marriages in May and June than in any
other two months in the year, generally
speaking, but the number this June will be
much larger than the average. People
probably get married in the spring because
it is usually called the pleasantest season of
the year, because the flowers are more
plentiful and the grass greener and all ma
ture is at its best and most romantic stage.
Apart from the spring months, the period
OF the year next conducive to marriage is
in the fail just before winter sets in, bnt
after all, there are marriages on all days in
the year and despite all the signs which
lovers are prone to respect it probably
makes little difference when a couple gets
married, provided they are congenial to
each other.
