Democrat. 45, 628 letters were received
at the Post Office Department at Wash

to state that the REGISTER was not re-
ferring to him last week in saying
there was a venerable individual in
this section seeking a wife. Mr.. B.
SAYS he has no intention, whatever, of
embarking on the matrimonial sea and
doesn't want to be bothered with the
applications that would naturally fol-
low the announcement that he was lin
the market" again. Mr.. B. is not the
man to whom the REGISTER referred.

contains the name of Mr.. A. b. Sloan,
