The marriage business is evidently on a
boom. as several licenses were issued yes
terday by Clerk Keilbach. The minister
or magistrate who performs the marriage
ceremony is required to make return 10
the Ordinary for the purpose of record, as
otherwise there is no means of showing
that the license was used for the purpose
for which it was issued In looking over the
record for the year in the Ordnary's Of
flee il was noticed that the marriages were
pretty evenly distributed among the dir
ferent ministers of the city, no one minis
ter appearing TO be the favorite, but each
being called upon to perform the mar
riage ceremony on an average of one to
three times a month.

A BIG YEAR FOR WEDDINGS.

1898 was IA Record-Breaker for
Brides and GrOOms.
The Old theory that marriages and hard
times have no relation to each other;
that marrying and giving in marriage
goes on lust the same whether times are
good or bad appears to be knocked out
Inv the records of the Ordinarys office
of Chatham county.
More marriage licenses were issued by
the Ordinary's office during the year just
closed than ever before in the history OF
the office and in addition the number of
licenses issued during the month of De-
cernber breaks the record for any month
in the history of the office. The total num-
her Of licenses issued during the year was
500. which was Sc more than for 1897 the
highest number previously issued in any
one wear. The number of licenses issued
during December was "a, the greatest
number issued during any previous month
being 81
Along in the latter part of the last de-
cade and the early years of the present
decade, when business was booming III
Savannah, the number of marriage licenses
issued each year reached well over 10
Then came the panic of 1898 and the mar
riage business decreased right along with
every other line of business until in 1895
the number of licenses issues fell TO 63S
Then the business began to gradually re-
cover Itself until in 1897 the handsome TO-
tai of 100 marriages for the year was re-
corded. The increase of prosperity and
the growth Of the city are further denoted
this year by the issue of S26 marriage
licenses, the greatest number in the his

Mrs. Sarah A. Baker, the Oldest actress
upon the American stage, who was so long
associated with the late Thomas Keene,
was admitted last week to the Forrest
Home, a Holmesburg, Pa, where she
will spend the declining days of her life.
Mrs. Baker, or "Aunt Sarah" as she was
affectionately called is 81 years old, and
has been upon the stage since she was a
child, the last fifteen years of her life hav-
ing been spent in Mr.. Keenes company.
Her friends will perhaps be more than
pleased to learn that she has found a
haven of rest in the home that was made
possible through the beneficent endow-
ment of Edwin Forrest
Recently the Cleveland Plain Dealer
put the following question at the promin-
emf members of the players profession:
What is the stage most in need OFF,
Olga Nethersole thinks it is an endowed
training school for actors; Henry c.
Barnabee, a greater encouragement for
authors and composers; Julia Arthur, the
elements of truth and simplicity" Fran
els Wilson, less patronizing;" James
O'NeiH, ian adequate production of
standard dramas at standard prices; y
Mary Hampton, good stage managers
and more attention 20 detail" Roland
Reed, the just recognition of the think
ing public Jefferson De Angels, sue
cessful plays and liberal patronage" Otis
Skinner, " a larger school of American
playwrights;" and Edwin Milton Royle,

pie whose support and keen interest are
always necessary TO the advancement of
the fine arts"
Julia Arthur has abandoned the inten-
ton to produce her new play, "Infdee, -
which is the combined work of Charles
Henry Meltzer and J. L C. Clarke. 1t has
been pronounced rather somber and
dreary affair, the mere mention of the first
authors name in connection with it being
sufficient TO prove this.
