He was born at Not- tingham in 1829. The veteran Salvation Army leader was unconscious for 48 hour's previous to his death. The Medical bulletin had not revealed the seriousness of the Geueral's condition, which for tt week past, it is now admitted was hopeless. Twelve weeks ago General Bootle - underwent an operation for the re- moval of a cataract in his left eye. For two clays after the operation w- dications justified the hope of the General's recovery. Then, however septic poison set to and from that time, with the exception of occasional rallies, the patient's health steadily declined. The General recognized that the end was near, and often spoke of his work as being finished. Throughout the Carninauder-in= Chief's illness, his son, Bramwell Booth, Chief or Staff of the Army and Mrs. Bramwell Booth gave their un- remitting attention to him both night and day. The aged evangelist died at his resi- denes, The Poolistone, Hadley Wood, some eight guiles from London, where. he had been confined to his bed ever since the operation, Present 'at the bedside when the enol came were Bratnwell and Mrs. Booth and their daughter and son, Adjutant Oath. - Brine Booth and Sergeant Bernard Booth ; tine General's youngest daugh- ter, Commissioner Mrs. .booth -Rei- herd and Commissioner Howard, • i Colonel Kitching, and Dr. \Vardhuuv Milne. t Public interest now centres in the qt ti u t s p` 1 xes o of a s tcc ss(r to the late Commander. Under the constitution of the Salvation Army the, General nominates lila successor. That GeY O L °- C l t al Bootle did several years ago, placing the name in a sealed envelope, which .i was deposited with the Salvation Army's lawyers with the instruction that it should not be opened until. after his death.
