Girpenter. ] WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 20. [ Special Correspondence of TUB BEE. } No man in i United States is bolter posted on news paper matters than Hon. Whitelaw Koid , Who tins Just returned from bis mission to Franco and who will now leave diplomatic life to resume the editorship of tbo Now York Tribune. It is now thirty-six years tlnco Mr. Hold began bis newspaper career as the editor of the Xoniu News and It Is thirty-two years since bo begun to bo famous ps tbo war correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette. Prom Jthat tlmo to this bo has been in the thick of journalistic llfo , and until bo accepted the post of minister to Franco from President Harrison ho hod refused fused all sorts of oQlcial offers in the post. President Hayes wanted to make him minister - tor to Germany and Garllold offered to ap point him to the same place. Ho preferred , . bowovor , to wield tba power and influence of 'T the Now York Tnbuno and ho thinks there U no position so great as that of editorship of a big newspaper. I mot Mr. Hold just after his return from Franco nud bad an In teresting chat with him In bis room nt the Normandy hotel about tbo newspapers and newspaper mon of France. He is a pleasant talker and In the hail hour's con versation which 1 bad vlth him bo gave mo oino Interesting facts about tba great jour- feula of Paris. Notr > i > apora of America anil 1'nrls. i "There is , " said ho , "considerable differ- iV. . nee between our newspapers ana those of " . 'peris. The French naw.ipaocrs pay moro intention to form wbllo wa pay moro atten tion to news. Tbo news in everything in tba American newspaper , and tbo style Is A sec- Sndary consideration. Wo devote columns to certain classes of news that would not get lines in a French journal. Take for instance Ibo matter of some minor Improvement In a pity wbero the paper Is published. Such a thing might bo wortb a column in America wbllo it might not receive live lines in Paris , the French do not care so much for foreign pews as wo do , and tboy are I think moro in terested In literature , artund the drama than We aro. These things form an Important part of their dally journals , anil tbo articles kbout them are so well written that it is an Intellectual pleasure to read them. Tbo loadIng - Ing articles are furnished by some of tbo most noted writers of Paris , and the news paper proprietors and contributors nro men cf wide Inllueueo. A great many of the lead ing moil of Franca either have been .or are now connected with the newspaper * . Some of iho most famous statesmen nf tbo country tvrlto regularly for certain journal * , and the lauding of tbo better class of writers u very fclgh. " Nolril French Journiillili. "CJivo me tbo names of lomo of the more fiotod of tbo French journalists and tell me lomothinp about thorn , " sam I. "That asks too much for n bastv conversa tion llao this , " Mr. Held replied. ' "The nrcs- tdenl of the syndicate of the Paris presshow ever , is Monsieur Hebrard , who U tba editor Df Lo Temps , tbo great evening paper and perhaps what the French themselves would call the 'loading serious journal' of Paris , lie Is olio a noted and able senator and bis paper , while not strictly speaking an organ Cf the government , has the closest relation to It , U apt to hava saail-ofUcial news ; and on account of its Information , trustworthiness aud ability is one of tbo paper * you mutt fead. "Then all the world reads the Figaro , " continued Mr. Reid. "Its editor. Monsieur Francis Magnnrd , is a man ot extraordinary gcod SODSO , and bo has the faculty in sudden emergencies of saying today Just what every body will Uo thinking tomorrow. Ho rarely writes an article ever half u column long , but tbero is no editorial writer in Franco who is mora regularly or mora eagerly read. Ills paper is a great financial success , am * numbers among its contributors many of tbo most brilliant mon of letters in Frauco. Ttio Petit Journal is the most widely circulated paor , not merely In Franco Out In the world. II has a bona lido daily circulation of ever 1,000,000 copies. It Is most respectable and trustworthy , condenses its news absolutely and arranges it systematically , and is alto- Bother a very satisfactory paper to road. Its Influence Is always on tae side of law , order and good morals , and it is uover likely to bo very partisan. " Men Who Mould Public Opinion. "How about French statesmen and the newspapers' ! " "Many of them are or bavo boon connected with the newspapers , " was the reply. As I have already mentioned , Mr. Uobrard is n sen ator. Ono of bis dally contributors is one of the very most distinguished Frenchmen now living. Monsieur Jules fcilmou , a former cabi net minister , and now a senator. Monsieur Jules Simon writes n charming little article almost every day under the general heading 'Man Petit Journal , ' and that Is onn of the things which can never ba shipped. No matter how pressing the work in the sonata , or how keen bis Interest in his own special bills , ho almost always finds time to furnish this article. Sometimes it touches keen po litical disputes ; at other times it gives an oj- tltnato of tome famous author , or a roininis- conco of the politics of a mora stormy period , " but it is always exquisitely worded. In fact the stvlo Is norfoct. Monsieur Simon is a member of tbb Academy. It was considered a great piocn of good fortune when the gov ernment persuaded him to head tbo commis sion sent by Franco to tbo labor conference ) called by tbo Gorman emperor in Berlin , whore ho was recognized as easily the load ing man of tbo whole conference , and where bo made a profound impression upon tbo em- poror. Another senator and member of the Academy nlso , John Lomolnno , has also been one of the most famous loader writnrs of Franco , principally on the Journal Oos Dobats. illi health has not been good of late years , and ho is not now writing so much. Tbo first minister of foreign affairs with whom I was brought in contact was Mr. Similar. Ha bad been for years the bosom friend of Gambottn and tbo , oditor-in-cblef of Uauibotta's paper , tbo Ropubllquo Fran- caiso. lie is now in the Chamber of Depu ties and was until recently one of Its vlco presidents. Ho retired from the cnblnnt at the downfall of Tirara's ministry. "Tim present editor and propriolor of tbo ttopublln.ua Franualsa is Monsieur Joseph Koinach , also a deputy and n very nblo mem ber of the moderate republican group , who constitute tbo strongest clement of the gov ernment's ' support. Uo is an excellent writer and an admirable speaker.

Ho is the politi cal director of La. Justice , which ho ulto owns. Dozoui of others might bo mentioned. Newspaper men in Paris take an naturally to public- life as a duck Uoes to water. " The l''uulll tou In American tloiirnnlUm. ' How about business matters In French newspapers i" 1 aikud , ' 'Do they receive much attention I" "Business Is by no moans so prominent In Franco either In tbo papers or in the daily Itfo of tbo people as It Is with us , " raplloc Mr. Hold. "The French nro as shrewd in business ai we are and they are as fond 01 money and money-making , but they mode thelrllves on n differentpluu.anii whatsoetns to mo to be a more sensible plan than ours The American devotes himself almost body and soul to bis business until bo la 55 or 00 and then bo expects to spend the remainder of bis life In eaia and pleasure. The result Is that bis tmulu uro so fixed that bo has lost tbo power of en Joy meat from anything olio than hU business The Frenchman gelt bis pleasure as bo pee * along. Ho takes a holiday whenever bo cai and bu U always ready for a laugh or for any pleasure of life. lie § uU aside a part of bii lay for pleasure and rest , and bo likes to read about ether things In bis newspaper ban money and business. Nearly every Vouch newspaper publishes a serial story and these form a very important part for some of the French journals. " "How about such stories in an American powspapor , Mr. Reidi Would it not pay to introduce the fouilloton into American Jour nalism i" "I can't say , " was the reply. "It is bard to determine what constitute the most at tractive features of a great newspaper ; al most impossible sometimes to toll what in creases and what decreases its circulation. Wo have published a number of food novels in tbo Tribune but I have never noticed any appreciable increase in our sales from them. The people road them and if they are good wo boar commendations and if bad the com plaints come in ; but I couldn't prove that they have realty over affeoted our circula tion. By tha way , I mot Dana , the editor of the Now York Sun , Just as I was starting to Washington and had a few mo ments talk with him. During this ho spoke of newspaper novels and tola mo bo bad boon buying a story of W. D. Hnwols and also ono by Mark Twain. I asked him if bo thought they had boon prolltablo ventures and bo said they had pleased the Sun renders , but whether they had paid from a dollar-and- cents , or circulation point of view , bo could not say. " Hyncllcuto Journalism us n Iowor. "This bringi up the subject of the syndicate flold in Journalism , Mr. Held. Do you think that syndicate Journalism has como to stay and will the productions nf noted writers and others continue to ba sold for simultan eous publication in newspapers in different citlosl" "i don't think you can tell what will and what will not continue In journalism , " re- Elioa Mr. Held. "There nro certainly a nuin- or of advantages about the syndicate meth ods. Tbo enable tbo writers to got hotter prices for QUO thing , and the newspapers , through them , can get excellent mutter at much lower rates. Tbo Tribune has patronized sorao of thorn , though wo prefer , and I think the moro prominent of tbo Now Yoric papers prefer to have exclusive matter. As It is wo bavo moro matter than wo can uno and for every column used at leant another col umn of good reading matter has to bo thrown away In tbo make up of every day's paper. It Is a ques tion of tbo survival of the littast and the best of the news und tba 11 rat literary matter pots in. The amount of matter U too great , not withstanding the increase in tbo alzo of the paper , I used to think vhon wo wore pub lishing ton or twelve pngos in our Sunday newspaper that the papur was as big as it would over get , but wo are publishing twenty mid thirty pages now und the ponplo soetn to like It. Una objection I bavo to syndicate articles U that they decrease to a certain extent - tent the individuality of n newspaper , ana this is , it seems to me , a necessity to Its inllu- euco aud Us prosperity. " Should Article * Itn Signed. "Spoaklne of newspaper individuality , Mr , Held , bow about signing articles in news papers. Does tbo use of signatures inluro tbo paper in which tboy appear ) " "If signatures were general I would sayyos. The people got to look upon the newspaper as an individuality ; and when no signatures are used , they rely upon its statements or opinions. In proportion to their general esti mate of Its character. When , on the other hand , fifty names'appear at the end of Jiftv pieces nf news , or of editorial matter In Its columns , tbo result h confusing and it de tracts from the newspaper as a whole. " The conversation than turned to the illus trated features of our newspapers. Mr , Hold said that bo thought newspaper illustrations might be overdone uy the American papers. "In 10 far as pictures are associated with news of tbo day , " said be , "they are a good thine , but I do not bellovo la putting pictures iu tbo papers merely for the sake of bavin * pictures. Tbo methods of fast printing and tbo quality of paper wnlch a largo dally must use , make it Impossible to have newspaper pictures works of line art , but they often udd to the expression of tbo news anu convoy bet ter ideas of mon than can bo given with tbo pen. The picture of a new witness in a sen sational trial taken by a good artist wbon tie ii an the act of giving sorao testimony which i to itartla the world next morning , U sure to bo a good thing to have , or that of a witty after-dinner talker to accompany tbo report of a banquet might add to the story , but the u oof a picture of a lira so drawn that it might apply as well to a tire in Now Zealand as to the place In tho-city where It occurred , is not wortb printing. 1 think the novelty of pictures as pictures in newspapers has long since worn off and that they nro only val uable wboro they can aid in completing the news ; that is to say , in completing this information the reader wants. " A Million Copies J v ry D.iy. "What Parisian paper has the largest cir culation 1" I asked. "Le Petit Journal has tbo biggest circula tion of any dally newspaper in the world. It prints ono million copies .every day. It goes Into every town in France and its circu lation outside "of Paris Is larger than that In the city. Paris is so located that every part of Franco can bo reached by tbo trains before - fore the death of that day's paper. The life of a daily newspaper is , you know , only a little ever twelve hours and such an outside circulation would only bo possible in a coun try lilto jj'rance. It could not bo In America , our large cities have not the advantages of Paris in this respect , viz , that this city roallv has for a reading constituency a nation of thirty odd million people. The provincial papers of franco , though many of them are good , are not equal to the papers of Paris and they do not compete with tbo Parisian Journals as these of ouroutsldecitius do with Now York. The Now Yorlc field Is confined to a comparatively limited territory. When you got to Albany you find first class dallies there , und the news of Buffalo Is apt to bo given out almost as fully and In os good shapa as in New Yorlc. I don't think wo will ever have a paper of a national dally circulation. La Petit Journal sells for 1 cent , and Its profits nro very largo. Its chief director "is its founder , M. Murlnoni , who began its publi cation In 1801. Its circulation was first in creased by foulllotons , and in 1801 a single novel gave it a Jump ot from 80,000 to 230,000 within n few weeks. Minimum I'rlco of Newspapers Itoachod. "You say tbo prlco of this papsr is only 1 cent , Mr. Held ) " How about our big newspapers - papers , will they bo cheaper than tboy are ? " "I think not , " was the reply. "Almost tbo cbeapost thing that is created by man on this oartu for sala is the newspaper at its present price. Three cents is little enough , and I don't believe the best newspapers will again raduco tba prices 'tboy ' now charge. Wo will , of course , have many smaller news papers and many 1 cent papers , aud it is nat ural that the 1 cent nowip'apors should have a larger circulation since there are always mora mon who don't mind spending 7 cents a week than men who don't mind spending 21 cents. "An interesting thing , by tbo way , Mr. Reid , " said I , "is the more rapid increase of newspaper readers than the ini'ronso in population. Thocitlos dN'tho same popula tion take proportionately1 it'much larger num ber of newspapers today than formerly , and this proportion is said to be stnadily increas- ing. What do you think of thutf" "That It is only another ? Illustration of tha old saying that if a newspaper has anv real reason for living other newspapers are not In its way. People will bwjKit for what It is. Thou , if a now paper is Btaned tboy will buy that to read the other * side. Many people now road four , flvoor mora'dally ' newspapers , wbero formerly they cdnllnod themselves to ono ; they wish to see ainUides. It Is a good thing for tbo newspapers , and I think It also a good thing for the prevention of hide-bound views and the promotlijtfof a liberal spirit among the readers and ( nrbughout tbo com munity at laree ; of course it Is not without some drawbacks. People aon't read so thoroughly , and they are sometimes lgt in fluenced even by the best woric. " G. CAIU-BNTEII. Only two congregations of tbo Armenian church are in this country ono at Worces ter , Mass. , and the otbor at Uoboken. The Methodist Episcopal church has over 15,000 ministers , U.OOO localVoachers , 100- 000 oQlclal members , and SWO.OOU Sunday school officers and teachers. It is an interesting fact that tbo Univer sity of Ulaigow , Scotland , is to confer the degree of LL > . D. on the venerable Horn an Catholic Archbishop Eyre. The Rev.

The American Baptist Year Book , Just out , gives the total Baptist membership last year as 3,104,227. The total this year is 3,209.800 , an increase of 105,570. The number reported baptized in 1890 was 1-10,053 ; in 1801 , 160,247. Tbo total contributions reported in 1801 were $11.215,579 ; total in 1893 , $11,839,559 , n slight Increase , not proportioned to the increase in numbers and wealth. In the contributions of this year three states exceed $1,000.000 , in the following order : Massachusetts , $1,937- 493 ; Now York , $1,040.534 ; Pennsylvania , 41,012,710.

" IN THE DIAPHRAGMS OF HOGS What tbo Bright Eyes of the Pretty Govern ment Mioroscopists Discover. SOUTH OMAHA'S ' INSPECTION SYSTEM Ilusy ISrnlimTlint Seurch for llncllll In Kx- port Pork Hoiv the Department in IMuimgcd Inxpoctlou In the Cuttlu Killing Ouurtcra. Should a stranger in South Omaha stop at the corner of Twenty-sixth and N streets and gaze up at tbo Packers' bank building the first object to attract his attention would bo the upper corner window. Not that that window has any particular attractions of ita own. It is n plain mullion window devoid of any architectural magnificence , but it forms the framework of an interesting picture. When the blue curtains are raised a bevy of curly beads appear bnnt ever nn apparently interesting task. Waving block tresses re flect the sunlight that lineors carossincly upon the Intermingled golden loclrs. Occa sionally n head is rnisod ami the observer is rewarded by a glimpse of a bright laughing loco. But if his gaze becomes per sistent the blue cuituln falls and ho is left to wonder whether n western Yabsar Is con tained within tbo narrow walls of the struct ure or tbo vision of blonde and black is the mirage of some forgotten dream. Either supposition would bo equally erron eous for busy brains are at work under tbo curly heads and the eyes of black and gray and hazel are busily engaged In presale occu pation detecting bauilll in the diaphragms of bogs , Within the building is the misuroscoplcai department of the government meat inspec tion department and the owners of tbo faces at the window are tha champion miscros- copists in the government service. They bavo attained their enviable supremacy through months of patient mid persevering application. Tboy are proud of it because the result * obtained nro pronounced moro satisfactory than these obtained by mascu line skill , Their task is not a sinecure. The work requires tbo utmost care und painstaking and upon tha thoroughness with which It U accomplished depends the ropula- < tlou of South Omaha moat in the markets of the world. Before each operator Is n pllo of small round wooden boxes. Each of tboso contains two pieces ot moat , ono cut from the nock and ono from the diaphragm of a bog. The box la opened und with a tiny pair of scis sors tbo operator clips small oblong slips from oiich of Out specimens and arranges them upon tbo glass of tbo microscope. The Ions Is properly adjusted and the bunt for trlch- njnlal gormi Is begun. Tbo examination is continued until it is certain that no lurking bacilli remain undUuovarod and then if tbo result Is favorable it Is so reported and tbo animal from which the specimens wore clipped Is uliglblo for shipment to tbo Euro pean markets. Each specimen Is accompa nied by a nlip of paper bearing a printed number that corresponds to a number at tached to the hoi : from which tba spucimenH wore taken and If any bacilli are discovered the animal Is condemned and cannot bu ex ported. Considering tbo fool that the meat in spection bill was only pavsod a little ever a year ago and trial its expense was only pro vided for by a limited appropriation of ? iOu- QUO , the moat inspection department bus at tained a marvelous degree of proficiency. This Is especially the ca o In South Omaha. The best record of tbo microscopical depart ment In Chicago is sixty specimens a duv for each operator , The young women of tbo South Omaha department can inspect 100 specimens oacli und their high est rooord It 120. Tlieir superiority is explained by tbo fact that tboy tuko a per sonal Interest In tbo rumuation and efficiency of tluilr department. By the study of micro scopical science during their odd momenta tboy bavo In the past year become skilled microscopitts UQ | | their knowledge of tbo science is an invnluablo aid In their work. Tbo department is under the charge of Mr. H. L. Howittson , chief inlcroscouistanJ bis assistants aru Misses Lu Miller , Gertrude McCulloucb , Ethleon Itbodes , Coa Cress , Cherry Tylee aud Daisy Moss witb Mr * . Patterson and Mrs. Wnlkor. Tba most es sential rcquisltos to &UCCOS1 in tun depart , mont are good oycs nnd a talent for pains. taltinc. A certain amount of preparatory study is also required. Tbo microscopical department is attached to uubatoirs No. ID and No. 29 , located at the Cudaby and Omaha packing houftos. At Switt's and Hammond's no bog inspection Is attempted , as the government appropriation is only sufficient to provldo inspection for the export trade. There is a growing de mand for a similar Inspection for the inter state trade but tun government has refused to grant a sufficient appropriation to defray the expense. The demand is becoming so strong , however , that it Is expected that the next congress will take some action toward enlarging the department. The cattle inspection is In force at all the packing bouses and it entirely distinct from the microscopical sorvico. Each abbatolr is a separate department except these at Cud- ahy'a and the Omaha Packing company , which nro ono department. Each .nicer and cow offered for slaughter is examined bv the chief inspector , and if nny symptoms of dis ease Is discovered the animal is condemned nt once. A second inspection is made of tbo In- tenor organs as the cacc.iss lies on the kill ing Iloor , and if the animal is sound it is marked with the govcrnmont tug nnd admitted to the cooling rooms. No meat can bo shipped that docs not bear this tag. Each department makes n report of tbo number of animals examined nnd the number condemned , which Is forwarded to Washington every night. The objects for which the Inspection service was Inaugurated are being rapidly attained. American dressed moat products have improved ma terially In quality und their price has in creased in consequence. The export trade lias boon especially benefited. Thooxpoits to Germany , Franco and Italy have became nn important branch of American packing interests , and tha expression of Secretary Rusk when be said , % 'Glvo mo gov ernment inspection und I will place tha American hog on tbo marknu of the world" bids fair to bo roull/ed. Tha Inspection is approved by all Interested in tbo dressed moat business and It Is con sidered only a question of timu until tbo de partment will extend ever every animal shipped from tbo packing IIOUHCS oltbor for export or homo consumption. The pursotinol of tha Inspection force nt the various bousori is as follow * : Abbatolr No. 19 , at the Cudaby packing house , Dr. James Wilson , chief inspector ; Klchard Abbott , assistant Inspector ; George E.
