Prempeh, last king of the stalwart Adhantis, is returning to his forest- ®irt capital, but he goes as a private citizen. He will never again occup tha golden stool.

Not until a quarter of a cen- ater were the northmen driven back from the sea coast. Early in the T70s dificulties arose which caused British forces to undertake the exceedingly arduous task of marching upon Kumasi. The expedi- tion was successful, and it was not until after the elevation of Prince Prempeh to the golden stool in 1883— the same Prempeh who is now re- turning to his former domain—that troubles arose again.

Gone, too, is the spirit house, scene of human sac- rifices, whioh used to lie just behind the market place. Instead there is now a rallroad station, terminus of the line from Sekond!, on the coast, 168 miles away. And he will find his 0ld political capital transformed into a busy distributing center for the in- land Gold Coast colony, of which Ashant! now forms a part.” ——— ' CHRISTIANIA’S NAME TO CHANGE JANUARY 1| Ancient Oslo to Be Restored in Norway Next Week.
