IT Is often said that love is blind,
and from an incident that is reported to
have occurred on the East side of the
river the other night it would seem that
there is some truth in the saying. One
of the young men in that section of the
city has young lady friend. and he al
80 has a team. On the night in ques-
ton the young lady had to go to a
dressmaker, and as the sleighing was
fine. the young man volunteered to
hitch ND his team and take her on her
errand. When they came to the house
the young lady went in while charioteer
waited with the team, outside. The
air was wintery and he had his collar
up over his ears, so that when he heard
the door of the house close, and foot
steps approach the team, he took it for
granted that it was his friend. and as
the party approached the sleigh he ask
ed, without looking up, if she didn't
want TO ride round bit. Now it hap
pened that the party who came out was
another young lady. and while she did
not know him she knew who he was,
and was just aching for sleigh ride,
50 she pumped down on the seat beside
him, and pulling up the robe, they
started off. Just what happened after
he found out his mistake was not re-
corded, or how he made it right with
the other girl, but it is presumed that
everything is by this time explained to
the satisfaction of all concerned.

 ''The Assoeated Press is authorized to elranatir.g from Christiana that ID az rgessive measures have been taken, or are even contemplated by the swedish govegnalant. The Swedish squadron IS only hclding the usual summ1" !nanoen- vres this year near Gothenberg, NO Swedish troops have been dispatched to the provinces or frontier. Only the usual regiments are now stationed near the frontier"
 Christiana, July 3.-There has been no mobilization of troops whatever either in Norway or Sweden Of the military forces under arms in both countries only contingents have been called together for the ordinary year ly exercises. In Norway these exercises are taking place on the usual drill grounds Some few companies of Swed- ish troops are watching the three rail- roads coming from Norway, but these troops are some distance from the frontier. a.. >sa-, '4sgs.4s The Swedish squadron has transfer red it's exercises from the Baltic to the l west coast of Sweden, Although these measures may appear somewhat strange under existing circumstances, they are not regarded by Norway as being of special importance after the | peaceful declarations of the Swedish \ government. That portion of the press l of Sweden which Is in, ,favorof wars says
 that the measures have been caused by military provocations from Norway, although such are absolutely non-ex- I istent. .....z:

 Everything Connected With the
 Funeral Thus Far Has Been of the

 Cleveland, July S,-Guarded by four cavalrymen, one of whom stands on each side and one at either end, the casket containing the body of John Hay lay to-day in solitary state in the audi torium of the chamber of commerce. It will remain there all of tomorrow and until S:S0 wednesday morning. Every thing connected with the funeral of the secretary has thus far been of the sim plest character, and 1t is the intention of the members of the family to avoid the slightest ostentation or public dis play in connection with the funeral. The public has not been admitted to view the body and will not be allowed to see it at any time. Save for the fact that the hearse was escorted this morn | ing by a troop of cavalry on its way from the depot to the chamber of com merce, l}are was nothing to tell the | casual observer of to-day's events in Cleveland that one of the great men of l the nation, whose name was known l throughout the world, had died. There was even an absence of flowers around the casket to-day, compared with the 1 floral displays so often seen at the fu- I neral of lesser people. One large wreath of roses and sweet peas and two cross ed palms caught and held together by broad band of purple ribbon rested on the casket, and on the floor at both ends of the bier lay two other Wreaths of roses. Behind the casket was an embankment of palms, and potted plants were scattered in profusion around the hall The floral tributes
 will. however, be heavily in evidence

 Committee and Acted Upon &. ;.
 The regular monthly meeting of the board of aldermen was held in city hall last evening All the members of the board were present. The newly elected assistant city clerk, Ambrose V. Beecher, commenced his duties as clerk of the board and he was given a most hearty welcome. There was a large number Of yiss present at the meeting, including a number of well known citizens who were present for the purpose of seeing what action would be taken on the railroad "cut'' matter.
 The first business to come before the meeting after the calling of the roll by Clerk Beecher was the reading of a number of minor petitions which were referred to the various sub -committes. The most important of these was for the opening of new public park near the center of the Ninth ward in which principally women and children could find a place for rest and recreation. The petition is signed by a number of Ninth ward residents.
 Another petition was read from the park commission asking that the city buy a strip of land about sixty feet ! long belonging to Joseph McNeil. The ] land extends to the Valley bridge along | the bank of the West river and the park commissioners wish the land tc extend the West Rock park walE 1 through it. On motion of Alderman Smith this matter was referred to tht same special park committee which was raised at the last meeting of the board l Clerk. Beecher next read communi cation from Mayor Studley. The com Imunication was accompanied by a re quest which the mayor had received from Prof. E. H. Sheath in which th' writer requests that the board of alder
