A Peculiar One Building Eyebrows
From the Subjects Hair.
"Transplanting kneecap is a great
surgical accomplishment" said DR..
Cecil F. Grimthorpe of London, to a
washington Herald reporter. Il have
read in the papers chat an operation Of
that kind has been successfully accom-
plished at one Of the local hospitals.
II entirely successful, It Is q strong ar
gument in favor Of progress in modern
surgical science"
Speaking Of peculiar operations, the
English physician said that in Paris
and London, where the idea originat-
ed, there are specialists who make q
handsome living out Of the process Of
transplanting hair from the head to
the eyebrows or eyelashes.
"only the brave and the rich can
patronize the new method at present"
added the doctor. "for, besides being
painful, IT takes long time to accom-
plish 1t.
"The specialist works by putting In
the new eyelashes and eyebrows wher-
ever they are absent or grow thin. and
80 cunning. is he in his work that not
even the closest scrutiny can detect
any difference.
About the method? An ordinary
fine needle is threaded with long
hair, generally taken from the head Of
the person to be operated upon. The
lower border Of the eyelid is then
thoroughly cleaned, and in order that
the process may be as painless as pos
sisle, rubbed with solution Of cocaine.
The operator then runs his needle
through the edges Of the eyelid between
the epidermis and the lower border Of
the cartilage Of the tragus.
"The needle passes in and along the
edge of the lid, leaving its hair thread
In loops Of carefully graduated length.
When this has been done, another and
another length Of hair is sewed through
the lid. until finally there are dozen
or more loops projecting.
"The next step In the process IL cut
ting off and trimming the ends Of the
loops, and the result is fine, thick,
long set OF eyelashes. They have to
be curled for a few weeks. but after
that they properly assimilate, and 1t
is not necessary to give them any fur
ther attention"
do they take root and grow?"
Most Of them do. A few fall out.
1t is true, and have to be attended to-"
the surgeon said.

There were naturally grave doubts
about Judge Mackey's fitness for the
bench at the time Of his election-for
he was practically without experience
at the bar. And he was naturally
distasteful to the white people Of the
Sixth circuit, who not only knew him
to be an extreme Republican (called In
those days RadicaD but also regard
ed him as one type Of the "carpetbag-
ger. His deficiencies as lawyer he
sought to cure by some study Of the
elementary principles-and particular
ly the vocabulary-of the law, and his
bright mind enabled him to get along
without any betrayal Of his want Of
general knowledge. He dabbled q lit
tie too much In politics to suit the white
people, and, in that way gave cause Of
complaint. In December, 1875, he was
threatened with impeachment and
many Of the white people in his circuit
thought he ought to be retired. But
1t was apparent that the Republicans
who opposed him did so because of
his active part in some prosecutions Of
incompetent and corrupt ofilcials In
Chester. It was in such conditions that
the movement against him failed
though II is not at all likely that he
could have been convicted Of any con-
duct calling for his removal. AS a
Judge he was really useful to the
Hampton government in the period
when both Hampton and Chamberlain
claimed to be governor-the former
supported by practically all the white
people and large numbers Of the ne
groes, whilst the latter depended sole
ly upon the presence of United States
soldiers stationed In the state house
and guarding every entrance to the
building. Judge Mackey charged the
grand juries that Hampton was the
lawful governor and that any person
claiming to hold ONCE In recognition
Of Chamberlain should be indicted. 1t
was Judge Mackey's course In the CAM
paign Of 1875 and in the time Of the
dual government" that induced the
Democratic legislature In 1878 to re-
elect him to the bench.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-04-13

Judge Thomas Jefferson Mackey was
a native of Charleston, where he re-
ceived his primary education and also
the limited college training which he
had. He served in the Palmetto regi-
ment in the Mexican war and was also
a soldier in the Seminole war. He al
ways professed great pride In the fact
that he had been a Confederate SOL
dier. He was captain Of engineers In
Sterling Prices army at the time OF
that generals unsuccessful movement
into Missouri in 1864.
After the war he settled in Charles
ton and promptly upon the passage OF
the Reconstruction measures he Joined
the Republican party in this state. He
was a trial justice in Charleston and
also an alderman Of that city. At this
time he was considered by the white
people a violent and somewhat offen-
sive partisan Of the negro government.
He soon came into especial notice as
one Of the leaders of the Republican
faction opposed to Christopher c.
Bowen, the sheriff Of Charleston. He
openly declared that Bowen was
murderer, a bigamist and a knave.
Bowen was convicted Of bigamy In the
criminal court Of the District OF Co
lumbia, and that result was attributed
in large measures to Mackey's work In
getting up. the testimony.
Judge Mackey was elected to the cir
cult bench in 1872, but he continued to
take an active interest in state politics
until the final establishment Of the
Hampton government in 1877, after
which he devoted himself closely to
his duties on the bench up to his vol
untary retirement in 1882. He fought
the nomination Of F. ]. Moses, Jr., by
the Republican convention Of 1872, and
was at different times afterwards, an
open opponent Of that corrupt fellows
methods and conduct. He was par
ticularly severe in denouncing Moses
for his infamous prostitution OF the
pardoning power. He warmly advo-
Gated Daniel H. Chamberlain for gov
ernor in 1874 and through most OF
that officials administration was his
staunch supporter. IN 1876, however, ne
warmly and actively espoused the
cause of Wade Hampton and the De-
mocracy, taking an active part In the
campaign Of that Year. His campaign
work was generally considered to have
actually helped the Democratic cause.
Judge Mackey was reelected, Tor
term Of four years, in December, 1875,
but in January, 1878. the supreme court
decided that the elections Of all the
incumbent circuit judges Except those
who had been elected by the Demo-
cratic legislature) were void because
the voting had been viva voce, where
as the constitution required that 1t
should be by ballot. OF the circuit
judges thus ousted only two were re-
elected-Judge A. ]. Shaw OF Sumter,
and Judge Mackey. After his retire.

There are times ahead In Oklahoma

Hunter to a Washington Herald. re-
porter. within the last two months
the government has started making
paupers Of the natives. Those natives,
half breed Indians and fullblood ne
groes, are going to rebel against evic-
ton. They are going to be turned off
the land they were born and reared on,
and, without a trade or an inclination
to learn one, they will not have place
to go. Then there will be excitement.
AT the time the government divided
the lands of the Indians, giving 160
acres to each, 1t permitted them to sell
120 acres, but insisted that they hold
the remaining 40 acres. Two months
ago the embargo was raised, and the
last 40, the homesteads, were permit

BAIT FOR ALlIGAToRS.
The Way a Mexican Indian Gathers In
the Ugly Beasts.

the Ugly Beasts.
A Pinto Indian of eastern Tabascc
adopted a novel method Of catching
alligators. The Indians weapons were
a harpoon, a stout club and a coil
tarred lariats. For bait he used 4
sucking pig, box Of something which
smelled extensively and several chunks
of half roasted meat.
Selecting an overhanging boug'l
about six yards from the waters edge
an Indian stripped Off its leaves and
suspended from the fork the squealins
pig. That was the bait for the eyes
and ears Of the alligator.
Opening the box, he used Its offen-
sive contents to grease a string, one
end of which he tied to bush, and
weighing the other with a piece OF
wood, threw 1t into the river. That
was the nose bait.
Between the thicket and the waters
edge was a long sand dam, capped
with row Of gnarled logs. Taking
the chunks of meat, he placed them
at equal intervals between the beach
and the ridge Of the dam. "This Is
my grub bait" said the Indian. 1T
will make him mount the barreea'
(barricade).
Stimulating the pig with kick that
caused 1t to squeal for the next ten
minutes, the Indian waited in ambush,
harpoon In hand. One end Of a long
lariat was fastened to 1t and the other
to tough elastic sapling. The sun
had set and 1t was growing dark when
a dark object was seen to rise slowly
from the water and sprawn up the
dam. The first chunk Of roast bait
was gobbled.
Hes smacking his chops!" chuckled
the Indian. Its the same one eyed
old sinner that owes me two pigs, but
he's going to pay his debts"
Gobbling the second chunk, the alli-
gator crawled on, swallowing the third,
and at the sight Of the hanging pig
stopped and glared. Suddenly he
pushed forward and fell into a sandy
hollow behind the dam.
Instantly he turned and headed for
the dam. Up sprang the Pinto and
hurled the harpoon through his scaly
hide. Il got you this time!" he shout
ed.
Jerked back by the tension Of the
lariat, the alligator made the leaves fly
with his switching tail and would have
snapped the rope IL the elasticity OF
the sapling had not broken the force
Of his spring as he plunged forward
again and again.
Seizing the club and jumping around
the floundering prisoner, the Indian
dealt him a whack across the head
that laid him sprawling on his back.
Three more blows, and the alligator
had paid his debt.-New York World.

wIFE's OBEDIENCE.
Bill to Suppress Wedding Promise
That In Seldom Kept.

That Is Seldom Kept.
Six members Of the Chamber Of Dep
uties have laid on the table Of the
Chamber a private bill for the purpose
of abolishing article 213 Of the French
civil code, says the Paris Daily Mail.
This article reads as follows: 'The
husband must protect his wife and the
wife must obey her husband" At all
marriages in France the mayor reads
out this article to the couples about
to be married.
The promoters Of the bill assert that
this "old- fashioned and out-of-date
article constitutes a real injustice to
women and is "a barbaric concep-
ton which does not coincide with the
present equality Of the sexes" The
six promoters are married men.
Deputies who are prepared to oppose
the bill point out that, in France at all
events, the families in which the wife
is really-by her secret infiuence-the
head Of the family constitutes at least
