Favorable 10 Marriages.
The number Of marriages during the
month of January. as shown by the num-
Der Of licenses issued from the court Of
ordinary, shows quite an increase over the
record for January. 1897.
During the month which closes to-day
there were issued sixty-six marriage
licenses, twenty-five to white and forty
one to colored applicants. The record for
January, 1896 was twenty-five TO white
and twenty-five to colored applicants,
making total Of forty-seven. January
has given the marriage market quite an
impetus, and If the record keeps up The
same way through the year, II will be a
record-breaker.

1t is web known that between the stu
dents of Yale and Harvard colleges there
exists a. feeling that is anything but rep
resettative of goodfelowship and a bib
lical spirit, There has always been a keen
rivalry between these two universities
which, however, pertains more to ath-
letics than to excellence in study or in
tellectuallity.
A game of foot ball between Yale and
Harvard some years ago ended in a row,
and since that time they have never di-
rectly met each other in a contest of ath-
letic skill, though they have met in in
tercollegiate matches.
The Yale man thinks the Harvard man
is the quintessence of all that is bad and
good-for-nothing, and the Harvard man
thinks the Yale man is beyond redemption.
very good impression of the intensity
of this feeling is shown In the letter pa
per used by the students of these two
colleges.
A letter received in Savannah from a
Harvard student, instead of bearing a
monogram or other insignia, ordinarily
used on letter paper bore engraved in
bright red letters at the top of the page,
