Only boys and girls will be permitted to stand on the right-hand side of the road, so that the troops there can devote .themselves to watching' the other side, where tho general public will bo- behind the soldiers. All the windows en route will bo closed, and no flowers will x be permitted to be thrown. Nobody can carry anything, even an umbrella. All side streets will be vacated. Everybody must be in. place at 7 o'clock in the morning, and nobody will leave until the coffin and mourners have taken the train en route to Topola.
The population has trebled in the past three days, thousands of police spies mingling with the people.
