It j is guarded by a few soldiers, al- j though there are scarcely any cul- ; lers.

He appeared to feel keenly the great tragedy that has come through the collapse of his empire, hut lie cordiully greeted the eono spondent, shaking hands with a strong, friendly grip. Motioning the correspondent tc a chair by a center table and takiug another himself, the former emperor spoke first in English and then lapsed Into French.

Saturday night when he attempted • to prevent the Harrisburg Telegraph j from procuring an accurate account of the federal raids here. Smith was a little man before he got into office and ho was evidently | shrunk in the process of squeezing I Into big company. To keep himself square with the political boss who put him where he is, Smith has re ! peatedly attempted to withhold news from this newspaper. He hasn't suc ; ceeded, but he has continued to amuse himself by "balling out" re | porters and otherwise conducting I himself unbefitting a man in the I service of the government. lie has I behaved from time to time as though he fancied the government were | serving him, instead of the other j way around.

Smith told the oitlcer he was venting his own petty spleen on the reporter whom ho blamed wrongfully for criticising j him in the columns of the Telegraph J for a boneheaded trick on a previous j occasion. Ilow ill-fltted Smith is for the job I he holds, may he judged from the • fact that those who had the investl ! gation In Charge kept every detail j from him until late Saturday after -1 noon. He wasn't let In on u single - thing until It was too late for his j marvelous mentality unwittingly to i slip a cog and let the cat out of the I bag.

WHALE MEAT IS PUT ON MARKET FOR FIRST TIME Steaks Sell at Twenty-five Cents a Pound on Fish Stall IS DARK RED IN COLOR Has Slight Salt Taste When Broiled Like Beef epicures and connois seurs of good food will soon bo or dering whale steaks, rare, medium or well done if the curious throngs who to-day purchased portions of the new delicacy are any criterion. Some odd scores of people who puss ed the tish market in Market Siiuure Ihts morning were properly startled when they saw a placard advertising the merits of t'resli whale meat. More than one of them dug deep into his jeans for the necessary pur chase price—the new lish meat sells at 2T> cents a pound. The meat is a deep red in color and of tine texture. Those who have eaten it pronounce it an excellent dish. "We had some fried over yon der at the restaurant," one of the clerks said, "and it was delicious." The taste, it is said, is a most pala table 'one, similar to that of line beefsteak although there is a bit of fish reminiscence in a-smack of salt water flavor. The whales are caught off the const of Now England. New York and other metropolitan lish markets have been selling the food for a long time. The meat was brought here for trial and it is believed Harris burg will like it.
