 England for all of MT. Booths 'sur- plus" The letters beg, almost, that MT. Booth furnish the names of all
 women aspirants for the title of Mrs. Booth that he may reject. Up to late last night Mr. Booth had not decided ito accept any of the leap year matri-s ln1onia1 prospects.
 As MT. Booth can only marry one
 of the women. write to ask for the addresses of the others. I can furnish Al references" wrote an applicant from Smith street, North Providence,
 F., 1. "Espetially would like the name
 and address of the Putnam, Conn. wo-f man. if MT. Booth failed to select 1 her fer his wife, this applicant con- tinued.
