Investigating the Foul Killing of Mill
tonaire Rascon.


SAN LUIS PoTOsI, Mex, May 5.-The
physicians who performed the autopsy
on Ghe body of Jose Antonio Rascon,
the millionaire merchant and brother
of the late Mexican minister to Japan,
who was recently tortured and beaten
to death, find that his death was caused
by the blows received on his head, and
that the other bruises and burns would
not have placed his life in danger.
Mr. Rascon came to Mexico with Lu-
ciano Tore BlancO and his son Fran
cisco and Eduardo Guerrero, all Of
whom have been arrested. The names
of persons high in the state gov
ernment of San Luis Potosi are mixed
up in the affair, and the authorities are
determined to probe the matter to the
bottom and bring out the whole truth
The object Of the torture and murder
was to extort money from Rascon.

LADY MISMANAGERS.

It appears that the Board of Lady Man
ayers of ths Columbian Exposition is not
living up to it's name. This is sad, for
Board of Lady Managers ought to conduct
itself at least as we'll as a board of man
ayers composed of women would. The
trouble grew out of slight which some
members of the Board of Lady Managers
thought was put upon them by some other
members of the board. At reception
given in honor of the Duchess of Veragua
the members Of the Beard of Lady Man
ayers who had the noble lady surrounded
were not particular enough about CIV
ing all the other members of the
board an Introduction to her. So there is
fine and ladylike row. And thus saith
the Chicago Herald, which ia on the spot
and ought to know something about-the
situation: The course pursued vooiferously
by a number of the board of "lady" man
sgers in relation to reception given to
the wife of foreign notable depresses
public confidence, such as it has been, in
this board. The entire board is not re-
sponsible for the lack of good breed
ing shown by number of the
members. To complain, like sullen and
spunky girls, that they were not all
"interdoosed," as one has done in behalf of
others as we'll as herself, to titled guest
who wouldn't know a moment later the
| face of any of the board seen but for mo-
ment, is surely unworthy self respecting
women. It is to be deplored that in the
| quarter where modesty, dignity and de-
corum ought to be found, members of the
board of "lady" managers should supply
the eager and satirical portion Of the press
of the country with texts the aermons on
which will not be soothing to Chicago
pride.
| And the Herald kindly adds that 1t was
expected, even If the members of the Board
of Lady Managers of the Columbian Expo
sition were not artists or authors, lawyers
OF doctors or persons of large culture, al
least their personal department would 81
ways be without reprosch. We do not
wish to add to the trouble, but it does
seem to us that if the Board of Lady Man
ayers of the Columbian Exposition Is ir
need of instruction in manners from Chi
cago it is in bad way. But what could
be expected of bosrd with such a name

IT Will NOT ALWAYS RAIN.

1T WILL NOE ALWAYS RAIN.
The Committee on Appropriations voted
at its meeting last evening to devote 50, 900
to watering the streets. We think this
action is justifable. 1t has, to be sure,
rained good deal this spring, but 1t will
probably not rain all summer. And we
also think that New Haven conservatism
has been o.rried far enough in this matter.
Of course the action of the committee will
seem q little rash to those who we're wait
ing for the Historical Society and the
Chamber of Commerce to discuss the ques-
tion, but we hope thers will be
no protest. There has been talk
enough, even for New Haven, and
it cannot fairly be said that the action
taken is hasty. It would have been little
more consistent to wait fifteen or twenty
years more, but consistency cannot always
be maintained. We hope thu Register will
not feel obliged to accuse the committee
of yielding to 'clamor." If it does we
shall feel obliged to Hken IT to the wander
ing wind which "b1ows dust in others
eyes to spread itself.n

A NOTABLE PROTEST.

1t has long been known that many mem
bsrs of the Grand Army are in favor of
dealing with the we'll koown abuses of the
pension system. They, like all other
patriotic people, are in favor of generous
treatment of the old soldiers who need
help and are honestly entitled to 1t. But
they know that many who are now enjoy
ing pensions do not deserve them, and that
not few pensions have been fraudulently
obtained. Noah L Farnham post,
of New York city, has spoken
plainly concerning this important matter.
This post passed some resolutions a while
ago which declared the existence of gross
abuses in our pension system and called on
all patriotic veterans to join in an attempt
to abolish them. These resolutions we're
published and called out considerable COM
ment and good many approving responses
from other posts and unattached veterans.
1t displeassd the department officers, who
rebuked Farnham post for it and tried to
persuade 1t not to repeat the ofense.
The reply of Farnham post was
that the publicity of this protest
from body of veterans gave 1t its chief
value as step toward the desired reform
and proceeded to repeat the resolutions
and publish them again. No further notict
was taken of orders and complaints from
headquarters, and suspension followed
Farnham post is one of the most powerfn
in the State, aud proposes to keep up thi
agitation among the veterans for pensio,
reform. Its members are confident tina
they have the best msn in that body wit
them, and that If 1t divides they will hav
tbs best half on their eide At any rate
they say, they mean to show the countr
that there is in the Grand Army body q
voters whe are determined on pension I,
form. e-~--r r~-.---~----~-.
1t is fitting that protest against PEI
sion frauds should come from the homes
and honorable members of the Gran
Army. None know better than they wh,
q pension should mean, and none kno
better than they how the generosity of IL
country toward its defenders has bee
abused.

At Irish Country Fairs - Through
Places Where the Peasantry are
often Trimmed at Both Ends of
Necessity, They are Priced Resorts
for Gossip and Gosther-w W onderful
Scorn and Fine Play Preceding
Bargains for Poultry, Pigs or Flax
-Interesting Scenes and Groupings.
LONDON, April "a.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
For the purpose of illustration there is
as little difference between the Irish fair
and the Irish market day as there could be
found between ga rale drop of the right
sort" and "a drop of the rsle right sort,
which from time immemorial has been in
separable from the proper conduct of eth
er. The actual difference is this. The
Irish fair, whether held at the little village
in Donegal or Kerry, or attended by thou
sands, as at Ballinssloe, Athlone, Cork,
Belfast or Dublin, is an affair for the dis
play and sale of animals only-horses, oat-
tie, asses, pigs, sheep, goats and occasion
ally poultry. Perhaps eighty Irish towns
and cities hold from one to four fairs each
SAe%oo
of animals only; of hogs as at Limerick
or Athlone, of cattle, as at Ballinasloe; of
horses, as at probably the greatest annual
ho1se-fair in the world, that of Dublin, OF
as at Cushendun, for the exclusive sale OF
the noted Cushendal ponies bred on the
heathery mountains of Antrim overlook
ing the weird and stormy Irish sea. But
at most of the Irish fairs all animals bred
in Ireland are exposed for sale; 1t many
others farm products may be found; while
the great butter fairs of Cork would al
most give one the notion that half the
worlds butter is made in the sunny wales
of 1rsland's south.
The market-day, on the other hand, is a
universal and interminsble affair. Hardly
day passed in my nearly years wan
derine in Ireland when I did not come
upon some town or village where the faiI
or the market WAS in full progress. The
area of Ireland is %, 1876 square miles less
than that of the state of Illinois; yet Ire
| land boasts of two hundred and sixty y-si1
market towns where market days are held
| from one to three times every week In ths
year. All this is picturesque and inter
esting to the traveller; but my observation
leads me to believe that there is vastly tot
much market, of the sort, and vastly tot
little to market, of any sort, in Ireland
The shopksepsrs, petty traders and she

FASHION NOTES.
In Impending Revival

Among all the old horrors that are being
revived and forced upon us there is q
threat Of the lace mitts that were worn
years ago. If you have pair, and If you
have very delicate and beautiful hands,
you may welcome the fashion. But most
of us can only lift up our voices and pro-
test. Lace mitts will cost much more than
kid gloves, and they make the average
hand look dreadful. At little distance
they make the skin seem tattooed. They
wear out, they neither protect nor bsauti-
fy the hand, and they simply won't "stay
up" unless rubber bands are let in at regu-
lar intervals from the wrist as far up as
the mitt goes. This stops the circulation,
