NEW YoRK's epidemic of measles is
easily accounted for. The health Off
GERS report that parents there are de-
liberately exposing their children to the
disease, believing that it is better for
them to contract it now than later in
life. In one tenement house the other
day twenty children were found
crowded into a room with a measles
patient, for the avowed purpose of ex-
posture to the contagion. This idea con-
corning the desirability of assisting a
young person to have the measles before
it arrives at years of maturity is not
confined to the poor people of New
York. 1t prevails elsewhere, but it is
based on false principal all the same.
There is no more sense in exposing a
child to measles than there is to expos
ing it to any other contagious disease,
and the sooner the people are made to
believe this, the sooner measles epidem-
les will be less frequent.

what alarming aspect to the indisposi-
ton from which the Prince of Wales is
known to he suffering, but the exact
nature of which has never been satisfac-

The statement is credited to an init

professional visit to the Prince, having
been hastily summoned to Marlborough
House for that purpose.

The physician was informed that the
Prince had been troubled with u slight
affection of the throat and had bee n
casually treated for its relief, but it had
grown 50 muoh worse that it had been
deemed best to secure the advice of the
famous specialist.
Sir Morell made a thorough examina
ton of his illustrious patient and ad-
ministered temporary treatment, intend

systematically, but he was almost i'm
mediately afterward stricken with his

Here Is Ono Who Had Her Doubts About
the Conductor.
The utter lack of confidence that
woman has in man was illustrated in
a Penn avenue cable car the other day.
A lady boarded the car at Sixth street.

please" she said to the conductor.
From Sixth to Twelfth streets she
was engaged in getting seated and pay

off ut Twenty-ei5hth, will you?" she
said, as the conductor took her nickel,
and he said he wouldn't.
At Twentieth she collected her par

mind him of his promise.
At Twenty-frst she dropped a pack
age which another passenger stepped on,
then apologized.
At Twenty-second she looked out OF
the window to see if the conductor had
called the right number.
At Twenty-third she moved to a seat
nearer the door.

BIMsTALLlc CONFERENCE.
England cCeptS the Invitation Tenders
BY the United States.

England cceptS the Invitation rendered
BY the United States.
LONDON, May 12.-England has ac-
cepted the invitation of the United
States to bimetallic conference.
The Marquis of Salisbury, the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer and the First
Lord of the Treasury yesterday received
a deputation representing the various
Cham Oers of Commerce and Agriculture,
the labor organizations, the leading
manufacturing industries, and the rep
resentatives of the financial and COM
mercial interests in the city of London.
One object of the deputation was to
urge on the government the necessity OF
pfomoting an international agreement
among the chief commercial nations
to open their minis to the unrestricted
coinage of gold and silver at a common
ratio.
The deputation laid emphasis on the
losses and embarrassments to trade
caused by the violent fluctuations and
the great uncertainty in the exchange
with the silver-using countries.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr.
Goschen, requested Lord Salisbury tt
reply in behalf of the Government
Lord Salisbury said that the Govern
ment had received on Monday the invi'
taJion from America TO u conference
and had DECIDED to accept.
1t seemed by the form of the invitation
that America decided to make it easy
for as many nations as possible to as
sembls and discuss the question.
The Government, in accepting the in
viLation, had been guided to a great ex
tent by the deep interest taken in the
silver question by such large industries
AS the Populations represented, and at
the same time had not been able to eN
clude from consideration The views and
wishes of India.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Chinese
Minister has received two cablegrams
from his government since he informed
the Prime Minister of the passage of the
Exclusion act. The last one was re-
ceived yesterday aud advised further
consultation with the State Department
before any action is taken by the Chi
uese government in the matter. The
Chinese government takes the stand that
the act just passed is q law and not a
treaty, and that any government has
u right to enact laws, aud therefore it
must be fully investigated on all sides
before it is acted upon.

THE COAL RARoNs.

Housekeepers and parties in general
with whom coal is an article of daily
necessity will learn with considerable
surprise that Mr. MCLEOD, the president
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road company, has announced that
there is no such institution as a coal
trust, or anything that bears the re.
hottest resemblance to it. Yet it is only
few days ago, since half-dOzen men
who really represent this coal trust,
the existence of which Mr. Mcleod
denies-met in conclave, and decided to
reduce by one-half the output of the
mines under their control, so that they
could thus, arbitrarily, advance the
price of coal-ln the first instance, by
fifty cents a ton to the consumer, and
thereafter, at whatever rate they might
find convenient to their interests.
The advance appears a small matter
to the casual observer; but, in effect it
represents an increase in the cost of
coal to the housekeepers and manu-
facturers of the east, of some thing like
million dollars a month. At the
same time, AMI by this very order, the
coal barons cut down the earnings of
the workingmen under their control
one-half, because the restriction de-
prives the miners of the privilege of
working, for three days in each week,
at the option of their masters. And all
this robbery of the people, of every
class-for it is nothing else-is done
for the purpose of booming, in Wall
street,a group of railroad stocks that, for
years, have been "watered" to the verge
Of bankruptcy.
OF what use, in the face of these
facts, is the interstate commerce law,
about which SO much-to-do was made a
little while ago? The Pennsylvania
coal barons, who can raise corruption
fund of million dollars to buy up a
Legislature or a presidential election,
care little for any laws save those
they make themselves. 1t is about
time the representatives of the people,
IN congress, should take hold of these
privileged freebooters, and give them a
baking up in good earnest.

An Ingenious Scot.

A Scotchman one evening recently
sat looking at some mice. An idea
struck him. He decided to set the little
thieves spinning yarn, and it was prob
ably a very astonished pair of mice
that found themselves a few days later
working a small treadmill in a cage
like those in which rats and other
small animals are kept, but without the
slightest idea that they were paying
their board in this way. An ordinary

he has to run ten and half miles.

The directors will argue for an appro-
priation of IS, 600, 900. About the only
change in the original bill will be the
insertion of clause asking Congress to
coin 10, 900, 900 silver half dollars as

be equivalent to an appropriation of
about $3.50, 900, and Mr.. DeYoung,
