AT ANCIENT EPHEsUs.
From Smyrna we made an excursion TO
the ruins of the ancient city OF Ephesus.
There is a railroad built by French
capital and constructed by French en-
gineers running directly TO the site OF
this old Biblical city. The ruins however,
are so extensive that we took donkeys
and horses on the train with US 10 facil-
tate our movements upon arrival OF
the world renowned Temple of Diana there
is practically nothing remaining. A deep
depression in the ground with a few
fragments OF columns and foundation
stones is all that is left of this once gi-
gantic and famous heather shrine.

embrace three members Of the cabinet
now with the empress az Sian Flu, and
Prince Ching. Vlceroy Ii and Prince
kung, who are now In pelSln.
This news Is regarded as OF import
anee, indicating as II does the relln-
quishment by the empress dowager of
the arbitrary powers she heretofore has
exercised.
IL Is also apparent that she has placed
herself In a position to avoid direct
responsibility 10 the foreigners for
whatever may happen in the future and
the board will have to bear the brunt

appointment Of this board will make II

the outbreak against the foreigners last

A SUDDEN COLD SNAP.

ture has caused some speculation as to

no frost, but that the danger point

The Indications are" said he. that

Is clear and promises to remain so.
That Is one reason that strengthens The
belief Of a visitation OF Jack Frost. The
chilly visitor will spread out all over

II is hoped that this Is not as omjnous
