GRATING A MOUSTACHE.
A Young Woman Furnished with Hirsute
Adornment by IA Clever Surgeon.

DR.. j. Eye. of Reading, Pa, says the New
York World. within three weeks has sue
ceeded IN grating healthy, luxurious
moustache npon the downy upper hp OF
Miss l.. :. Sinclair. of New York. The girl
il about twenty-five years old.
DR.. Ego has been making different expert
ments in skln-graftlng. He has succeeded
in transplanting the skin of negro 10
the arm of white person aud az tho same
time covering the skinless iesh on tho
negro's person with piece of chicken
skin. While tho chicken skin did not
grow feathers. il blended with the human
flesh. The Doctor ionged for new fields,
and 10 biz delight Miss Sinclair came TO
Reading about three weeks ago aud de-
clared her willingness to pay we'll Tor q
genuine moustache. The Doctor decided
| that it was best TO have but one side OF
| the upper llp treated at time.
When tho time for the operation arrived
next dav Miss Sinclair positively refused to
| take chlorofOrm. She said she had the
nerve to stand 1t and she did. The entire
surface was shaved from the pit OF the
girls right erm. and strip of skin about
| two and one-half inches long and three
quarters Of an inch wide was peeled of.
| Then his strip was placed in "A saltwater
bath, and one side Of the upper lip was
peeled IN similar manner. The edges OF
the skin surrounding the lip wound were
lo0sened and the piece of cuticle from the
arn-pit Was placed on and the edge Of It
Tapped under 1t was then tightly bound,
and IN three days had begun 10 adhere.
The hair also began to grow, and now II l.
| over half an inch long and has a healthy
appearance.
The other side Of the lip was treated
Monday, but Mss Sinclair decided that it
would be better to take chloroform during
the operation.
Dr. Eye is highly elated over the success
Of his operation. He now declares that It
is entirely possible to onsraft cat skin
upon the human body.

Body-Relief OF the Farmer Its
Primary Object.

When Major venable, State agent of the
Farmers Alliance, was asked yesterday by
DISPATCH reporter what the meeting OF
the State Legislative Committee of the Al
lance which was held at Staunton on Mon
day did, he said nothing but what had APP
peared in the papers.
The meeting, he added, was one of dis
trict lecturers to map out their course and
decide how many visits should be made to
the various sub-alliances, and what in
structlOns should be given them. No plan
of State legislation was, he SAID, adopted.
as the committee had no authority to adopt
one.
IHE CONVENTION.

tam concert OF action from the farmers

legislation a. would rebound 10 the adj
vantage of the agricultural community:

with the farmer. The political parties.

cause the latter had not assertedtholr I'M
portance and dignity.
NO ANTAGONIsM EXISTS.

antagonism between the Democratic party
IN Virginia and the Alliance, and said he
would not discuss the position Of the or
ganization with reference TO the coming
State cam mpaign.
II. owever-and here he was referring TO
the future-tho parties now N existence
would not give the farmers hearing, the
Alliance-men would. he thought, attompt
TO form party OF their own, but we IN
Virginia. he concluded" do not want any
thing Of that sort now"
Major Venable remarked that there were
| q number Of Republicans IN the Alliance
| in Virginia. but. speaking IN his individual
| capacity. he always referred to the Demo
cratic party ~ " our party and by IN
| ference, therefore, the suggestion that
